The judgment of God is over the Body of Christ. Many pastors will be replaced and churches will continue to decline.
Christianity attempts to focus on keeping laws and doing works to appease God. They want believers to immerse themselves into religious activities.
Most Christians do not listen for the voice of God and are not serious about obeying the precepts of God.
Israel was God’s favored nation. They were brought down by pride. They refused to honor God’s words and lived according to the desires of their flesh.
God delivered the Israelites from slavery and gave them a beautiful homeland. Beginning with Abraham God blessed Israel and caused the Israelites to cling to Him.
The Israelites worshipped other gods and idols. This was profitable for nothing and angered God.
The desire of God was that the Israelites would be a “set apart” people filled with the renown, praise and glory of God but they failed to reflect His character.
The Israelites did not listen to the voice of God.
Christianity is failing because believers don’t take the word of God seriously. They are more content and less intimidated by pursuing religion.
Jesus asks His people to walk by faith believing in His promises and not what they see with their eyes. In Christianity faith is mostly an intellectual concept and not a lifestyle of seeking out God for your every need.
Jesus wants a personal and vibrant relationship with a believer. Religion wants your attention to be on duties.
Jesus wants a believer to give up his freedom and self sufficiency and zealously seek the will of God for his life. Christianity pushes a church life.
Jesus asks a follower to come to Him through the narrow gate but very few are willing to make this commitment. It is just too costly.
Jesus desires for a believer to walk in oneness with Him yielding to the Holy Spirit. This is not taught or supported in most churches.
Religion wants very little to do with the Holy Spirit because He exposes the hypocrisy and corrupt practices of our churches.
Christianity attempts to manipulate the Word of God to achieve their own motives and please the changing culture of society.
Jesus transforms believers into the character of God and instructs them to walk in the light and turn away from darkness. This can only happen by those who live under the authority of the Holy Spirit and have an open heart to the conviction and correction of God.
The difference between a Christian and a disciple of Christ is the commitment to God. The disciple lives for God above all else and is loyal and obedient to the voice of Jesus.
Christianity is a religion. Jesus is a way of life.
