HOW I CLEAN UP A CHURCH GONE WILD
As you probably know My house must be
cleaned first therefore "judgment must begin at the house of God ..." 1Peter
4:17 (KJV) Usually when I do a complete cleaning there is only a few left, but
those few can accomplish a thousand times more than the multitude of flesh
serving church goers. This is how I do it. I once had a church of 32 thousand
and it was full of self centered and fearful people. So first I separated the
faithless, "fearful and afraid, (you must make it easy for them to get out of
the church and go in peace)
I never embarrass them, "but without faith
it is impossible to please Me : for he that comes to Me must believe that I
exist, and that I am a rewarder of them that diligently seek Me, Hebrews 11:6
(KJV) and if not, they got to go. I caused pastor Gideon to challenge their
faith, with the upcoming steps I was going to ask them to take. After it was
explained, I just said, anyone who is afraid can go home. And that cleaned out
twenty and two thousand trouble makers; and there remained ten thousand." Judges
7:3 (KJV) I lost a whole lot of tithe that day.
Secondly, I had to get
rid of the fleshly people, ones that lived like there was no enemy, and were
only interested in themselves. They were spiritually dead with no interest in
the coming battle. "I told Gideon to take the people down to the water: and I
said unto Gideon, Every one that lappeth of the water with his tongue, as a dog
lappeth, him shalt thou set by himself; likewise every one that boweth down upon
his knees to drink. [6] And the number of them that lapped, putting their hand
to their mouth, were three hundred men: but all the rest of the people bowed
down upon their knees to drink water." Judges 7:5-6 (KJV)
Wow, there went
9700 fleshly tithe payer's. There was no way I was going to get glory out of
these self preserving people, but when they left there went the tithe. The
auditorium has 31,9700 empty seats now. If I were a human leader I would be
considered a champion of losers! Most western pastors could not stand to see the
tithe go out the door, and would keep all 32 thousand and will do anything to
fill empty seats. They quickly become ungodly shepherds, unfit for the kingdom,
before letting that kind of Money walk out the door. When you seek first the
kingdom, numbers reverse, the closer you get to the kingdom the fewer followers
you have. Always keep in mind, "the gate is narrow (contracted by the pressure
of holiness) and the way is straitened and compressed that leads away to life,
and few are those who find it." Matthew 7:14 (AMP)
When you have a
kingdom church, down is up and up is down. Many visit, few stay, not because the
pastor is corrupt but because the flesh of man is corrupt, "the last shall be
first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen." Matthew 20:16
(KJV) If I had let pastor Gideon go to battle with his 32,000 member church, he
would have had 32,000 dead bodies. If I let him win, he and 32,000 people would
have stolen My glory and lost the eternal battle. Did you ever notice that My
glory increases after the main service is over and a few worshipers stay behind,
these are those few that gather in My name, so I am in their midst.
Many
times I do not show up until the majority go home to their agendas, because I
want to meet with those that have Me as their agenda. A wise pastor will never
officially close a service, because I promised that "everyone that asketh
receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be
opened. Luke 11:10 (KJV) The pastor that cooperates with Me and allows My
purging process to be ongoing, will have a kingdom church and I will show up at
every gathering. My presence will produce enough power for the front row of
three hundred to capture an entire city of thousands.
Now don't start
thinking big church again! Capturing a city does not mean you take thousands
into your church building and fill the 32,000 seats again. It means the
stronghold of the powers darkness have been broken, and the residents start to
live in peace. It means the city is a testimony to My power, and My gospel is no
longer resisted. It means the city government welcomes My church and as a
result, many small church bodies spring up and take the spoils. "Herein is that
saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth. [38] I sent you to reap that
whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their
labors." John 4:37-38 (KJV)
So bottom line: when I start to purge, the
numbers decrease and the power increases. I remember when, "they laughed and
jeered at Me and I put them all out, and, I took a dead child's father and
mother and those who were close with Me, I went in where the little girl was
lying. [41] Gripping her firmly by the hand, I said to her, Talitha cumi--which
translated is, Little girl, I say to you, arise from the sleep of death! [42]
And instantly the girl got up and started walking around--for she was twelve
years old. And they were utterly astonished and overcome with amazement." Mark
5:40-42 (AMP) When I am allowed to purge, life returns!
