MY CHURCH HAS NO PULPIT OR PEWS
When you come to the realization that your church would die with these
pieces of furniture in it, your church will look a whole lot different. Take a
moment to look at your church, go to the mirror and tell me what you see. You
may say, "my reflection", but you are looking at My church. Please tell Me what
condition My church is in today? I try to visit some of My churches and I can't
breath because they are filled with smoke! Some are showing pornography on the
wide screen of their mind! In some of My churches I plug My ears because of the
language they use there! In some they make no sense at all, because director is
all doped up or swimming in alcohol!
"Do you not know that your body is the temple (the very sanctuary) of the
Holy Spirit Who lives within you, Whom you have received as a Gift from Me? You
are not your own, [20] You are the church, bought with a price, purchased with a
preciousness and paid for, made My own. So then, honor My Father and bring glory
to Me in your body." 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 AMP Iron bars do not a prison make,
nor does pulpits and pews make a church. These a pieces of furniture for a
building, where people gather for a multitude of reasons. The churches I listed
above think they gather in these buildings to worship Me, but they are deceived
because all the pollution in the churches make it impossible for them to worship
Me in Spirit and truth. John 4:24
Some churches are in even worse condition, I resist the churches filled
with pride and self righteousness, and can not enter them! 1
Peter 5:5 Some
are filled with so many piles of bitterness, gossip and even hatred, that I
can't even move inside. Some churches constantly lie through their teeth. Some
will cheat their own mother! When these churches gather in a building filled
with pews and a pulpit, they don't want to sit next to the first group of
churches! I just heard one of the churches stand in front of the mirror and say,
"I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers,
or even as that alcoholic." Luke 18:11 That self righteous church is not
recognized in heaven!
Stop looking at the building with a pulpit and pews and saying, I have a
beautiful church! Look in the mirror and say, Holy Spirit do your work in Me, I
want to be a glorious church without spot or wrinkle. I am not speaking of
physical spots and wrinkles, but of sins spots of the flesh and wrinkles of
carnality! For it is high time that judgment begins in My church: and if it
first begin with you in front of the mirror, what shall the end be, of them that
refuse to obey My gospel at all? [18] And if the righteous scarcely be saved,
where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? [19] So to be a wrinkle free
church discipline and align your life with My will, commit your way and the
keeping of your soul to Me in well doing, because I am your faithful
Creator."
1 Peter 4:17-19
