Because, indeed, because they have seduced My people, saying, ‘Peace!’ when there is no peace—and one builds a wall, and they plaster it with untempered mortar— say to those who plaster it with untempered mortar, that it will fall. There will be flooding rain, and you, O great hailstones, shall fall; and a stormy wind shall tear it down. Surely, when the wall has fallen, will it not be said to you, ‘Where is the mortar with which you plastered it?’” Ezekiel 13:10-12
The future ahead will be turbulent here on earth. God has spoken words of judgment because we have rejected Him and have been seduced by false teaching. There are many violent storms coming our way and they cannot be avoided. No one is immune!
The wall of religion will crumble because it is not built on the Word of God. The wall is built on the false hope of works and sacrifices to please God.
The cornerstone of the church will be built on faith in the person of Jesus Christ and becoming one with God through His Spirit.
You cannot sugar coat the character of God. He is a God of retribution and He blesses and He curses. God never changes and His Word cannot be compromised.
The mortar holding the new church together will consist of fervent prayer, worship of the living God, and walking by faith.
Faith is living out a dependence on God for your every need and standing on the promises of God. Faith looks to God for redemption and never the world.
Faith believes God calls things that don’t exist as if they did! Without faith it is impossible to please God!
You will meet the living God when you abandon yourself completely to Him and have this mindset embedded deep in your heart “Not my will but yours be done”.
