WHEN A CHURCH TURNS INWARD

WHEN A CHURCH TURNS INWARD

A church that turns in on itself, will quickly become a spiritual graveyard, because it is self centered. It is soon filled with "bitter jealousy (envy) and contention (rivalry, selfish ambition) in the hearts, do not pride yourselves on it and thus be in defiance of and false to the Truth. [15] This superficial wisdom is not such as comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual (animal), even devilish (demoniacal). [16] For wherever there is jealousy (envy) and contention (rivalry and selfish ambition), there will also be confusion (unrest, disharmony, rebellion) and all sorts of evil and vile practices", James 3:14-16 (AMP) and the darkness of the world overwhelms it, leaving it a graveyard of hopelessness, fostering death instead of life.

Many a rescuer has died because he failed to realize that, too many hours spent in a grave yard, will drain all your joy and your spiritual strength will soon follow. I never spent a whole day with the helpless and hopeless multitudes, without separating myself, to have alone time with My Father. My servant David said, "I had fainted , unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. [14] Wait on the Lord : be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord." Psalm 27:13-14 (KJV)

There are pockets of depression where people have too long focused on themselves and the things happening in the world. As a result a strong hold of despair is established where the spirit of suicide can freely roam from person to person. He will roam until he kills people at their own hand. No one takes their own life, the enemy try's to find an outside assassin first, and usually finds none. He then starts to recruit you to be your own assassin by getting you to only focus on no hope, gloom, doom and the impossible. Most of the time he finishes the recruiting with a bad financial or marriage situation. The blackest black is in the valley of despair, where hope can no longer be seen.

Once the hopelessness penetrates the human soul you will volunteer to become your own assassin. That's why many times there is no indication hours before death. The person simply has a job to do, he is commissioned to end his hopelessness. satan well knows, I am the God of hope that fills you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost." Romans 15:13 (KJV) Knowing this, if the enemy can get you to look at your own situation, while standing in a spiritual graveyard, in a world of hopelessness, he seeks to recruit an assassin.

Now listen closely your life depends in it, "the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee." Isaiah 60:2 (KJV) Looking outward and upward is your only hope of saving yourself as the rescuer, and the people in a spiritual graveyard. Looking upward for My strength and hope and outward to bless others. "In conclusion, be strong in the Lord be empowered through your union with Him; draw your strength from Him that strength which His boundless might provides." Ephesians 6:10 (AMP)

Ignoring this kingdom principle will kill the rescuer. But if you always keep in mind "ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light:" 1 Peter 2:9 (KJV) You will be able to lead the people out of the wilderness.
