And the Lord says
Speak to My people let them know of their laziness when it comes to Me. Tell them they are doing just enough to get by. I do not receive enough praise. I do not receive enough honesty. I have to send Prophets to tell of your wrongness just as I did David (Samuel 12).
And David said unto Nathan, I have sinned against the LORD. And Nathan said unto David, The LORD also hath put away thy sin; thou shalt not die. 2 Samuel 12:13 (KJV)
God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. John 4:24
Most of us say we serve the Lord and are His servants, but we really want Him to serve us. See yourself having a spiritual box or display case where the Lord is housed. See yourself only taking the Lord out of confinement when you want or need Him to do something for you then, putting Him back after He receives your orders.
Some Christians believe associating themselves with Christ puts them on a higher level or prominent standing in the world. Some even believe that after receiving salvation they can continue to live shabby lives. In this case, Christians do the least amount of work in their Christian journey.
The Lord requires more of us, and He does not mean for us to sit on our salvation. We must continue to ignite our relationship with God by submitted to His will for our lives. The Lord is hungry for relationship with His people. The Father knows of our aches and pains, He is quite aware of our shortcomings however, He wants us to confess these things in His presence.
When we lie to ourselves, we lie to God. Only what we do for Christ will last and when we lie, it is not to the Glory of the Lord. The enemy keeps us in bondage when we are not honest with the Father. Deliverance and healing come through worship, and we can only worship God in Spirit and Truth. If you want healing, salvation, prosperity, and deliverance tell God about your lies.
Be ashamed of the way you treat Me. Oh what little time you spend with Me but you want Me to give you the World. My children you do not even know what the World looks like. You do not know the things that make up the world its good, bad, and evil. Children are only seeing surface things. Surface things seem more important than Me.
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 1 John 2:15
1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came unto him, after he had gone in to Bath-sheba. Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. 2 Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. 3 For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me. 4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest. Psalm 51:1-4 (KJV)
Many Believers treat God as a fallback Guy or side chick. We take Him out the display cabinet after we have tried every carnal plan of our own. It other words we use Plan B before we consult the Lord about our decisions. Breakfast is designated as the 1st meal of the day, but we treat God like Dinner in the morning by putting Him last.
If we choose our quiet time with God when we get in bed (reading the Bible, worship) we usually fall fast asleep. Most of the time God ends up watching over us and we have spent little time with Him. Prayer usually comes first as we give God our laundry list of what we want. Falling asleep after talking to God may seems like confidence in our relationship with Him but it shows disrespect to a Sovereign Lord.
My children you have changed My plan for My House. I see Buildings erected and called Houses of Prayer, but very little prayer comes out of these places. You are calling Churches Houses of Worship, but no obedience exists in these places.
And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves. Mark 11:17
17 Pray without ceasing. 18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. 19 Quench not the Spirit. 1 Thessalonians 5:17-19
I see God saying that many Churches will fall to the ground because the foundation is weak. If a proper foundation is not laid in any construction the walls begin to crack, and the building becomes unstable. The Church has to be built upon the True Rock, which is Jesus.
It is dangerous to expect the Lord to go along with our plans for His House. Prayer is the cement, which unites and holds structures together. Prayer is worship. Prayer gives us an entranceway into God’s presence. Once in the presence of the Lord we are compelled to worship His Glory.
Pastors be careful that you do not allow a congregation to misdirect their worship.
People worshiped Nebuchadnezzar King of Babylon by saying, “Oh king live forever” (Daniel 3:1-9). What kind of praise comes out of your mouth for Me? My people you have become so proud that you no longer bow before Me. Very ignorant people from the past did not know My ways, but they bowed, they feared, and reverenced My name. I AM still God. I AM still Lord. I AM still King. I AM still the God of ALL MERCY. I AM still the God of Love. Will you bow before Me?
12 And now, Israel, what doth the LORD thy God require of thee, but to fear the LORD thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the LORD thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul, Deuteronomy 10:12
But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. John 4:23
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. Romans 12:2
6 O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker. 7 For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice, 8 Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness: Psalm 95:6-8
9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Philippians 2:9-11
The Lord is telling us to recognize His Royalty. Everyone knows you bow before a Queen or King. Since God has rulership over the whole world all people should change their posture and bow to a Universal Master. In this hour God is commanding us to bow at His NAME.
