The scathing voice of God!

“An enemy will overrun your land, pull down your strongholds and plunder your fortresses.” Amos 3:11

This was not a comfortable message to write but it came from the mouth of God.

God is angry with what He sees in the world. He has made a decision to punish us for our sins. We are living under the intense scrutiny of God.

The punishment will come in the form of judgements from God. The pandemic was the first with more to come.

We have to accept the retribution of our great God. No one can escape the judgments of God. 

This verse in Amos reflects the heart of God for today and is directed at the Body of Christ. We are His chosen people whom He has loved above all the people and we have failed Him.

God has spoken and will not revoke His plans to allow Satan to overrun your domain and destroy your possessions and security. 

There will be unrest and oppression for the people of Christ. This is because we do not know how to do right before the Lord.

The “set apart” people of God are to be a beacon of light reflecting the renown, praise, glory of God. We are to do good, turn away from evil, and seek peace and pursue it.

The Body of Christ is filled with hypocrisy. We have made our God religion. We play act but our behaviors do not align with the ways of God. 

We acknowledge the Holy Spirit but we reject His authority and choose to live for self.

There is very little difference today between a believer and non believer. 

The analogy from God last night was a believer walking on a tight rope with very little room for margin of error. If you slip up the result is falling into a morass and suffering misery and destruction.

How can you and I respond to the judgments of God?

Come to Jesus with an open heart confessing your sins and asking Him to reveal anything in your life not pleasing to Him.

Do not accept, be a part of, or condone the amoral attitudes of our society. 

Separate yourself from the influences of Satan dominating our world.

We live in the world but we are not of the world

Present your body as a living sacrifice to God. Pray the meditations of your heart, your thoughts and your words will be pleasing to Christ Jesus.

Seek out the will of God through prayer, the word of God, and listen for the voice of Jesus.

Walk with Jesus by faith anchored to the Holy Spirit.
