My Last message of 2007
As a minster of Jesus Christ, I can see the way the Church is headed, what I have seen is heart breaking. In this year 2007, we have seen evangelists on TV begging for money, yet they live like rock stars having many homes that range in the millions, although they have tax free monies, they continue to beg for more to feed the poor. Who do they serve God or money?
Jesus said In Matthew 24:4&5:
4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
We have all seen their lies, yet we still run to throw our hard earned money at these salivating false prophets every time they say give it to me.
I have been a Christian for 28 years and in those years I have seen the hypocrisy and greed in the television evangelist. Marjoe Gunther an evangelist in the early ‘60s filmed a auto biography about himself as a child evangelist up to the day he quit preaching hypocrisy. That film with its honesty and mind numbing truth shows the corruption in the love of money. Nowhere in the scriptures has Jesus or God the father told us to seek riches. It does however say in the Bible, God’s written word, not lay up silver or gold, but to lay up riches in Heaven were rust cannot touch it.
In the last 20 years those of us who have been watching the news have seen the downfall of mega churches as they crumble over either the love of money or lust.
In Matthew 24 Jesus talks about the last days there will be perilous times and the hearts of many will wax cold. Are we not seeing that today in the New Age movement, the Muslim, and gay rights movements? It’s legal to murder our unborn children. Are we not living in the last days as it says in revelations’ that God would that you be either be cold or hot but because we are lukewarm he will spew us out of his mouth?
It’s time that we as Christians fall on our faces before God and repent of our sins of wicked ways and complacency.
Let’s do something in the year 2008, and remember what it is that the Lord would have you do. Repent of laziness, being lukewarm, and cowardice. Let’s remember our soldiers, their families and the civilians in Iraq. Pray for all of them. Also, remember Revival fires Ministries in your prayers.
Thank you, May God bless you and your family richly in 2008,
In the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, Jim
