The people didn't get up to leave. They were wailing and blubbering all over themselves as they found their ways down to their knees or stretched out on the floor. Not one of them had the pride to stand, as the Spirit of God's conviction was heavy on the place.
Without the heat of my earlier words I asked, "Do you want to change? Do you want to rediscover your first love?"
A wailing tumult arose in response to my words and I nodded in acceptance of it.
"Then this is my advice to you. Go home and fast and each of you by yourselves make supplication to God through your tears and prayers. Pray that He will renew your spirit and show you how to give Him perfect praise. The doors of this church will be open starting at sunrise tomorrow. I encourage…… no…… I beg of all of you to come. Do not waste this opportunity that God is giving you to learn, be strengthened, and renewed like never before. Now I have something to say to those of you, who have already purposed it within your hearts to be here tomorrow with the spirit of praise as you should've come with this morning. If you want to bring those who are lost and without the love and forgiveness of Christ that is fine, but I ask you to do something more in order to unify the Kingdom of God, which you will come seeking to know more of in the morning. How many churches do you have in this town? Three? Five? No, I tell you that there are ten. Ten different denominational churches other than this one. Tell me what is the guiding principle of importance across all these denominations? Is it this Bible that I'm holding up right here, because it better be, because no other doctrine of belief or ideology of man will stand or can deliver men's souls other than the words contained in this book given to us by God! This division of the Church is not good. We are tasked to be one body of Christ all of us fitly joined together working as one, so please in the strength of Christian fellowship grab onto your fellow brothers and sisters and bring them along with you! We have to start pulling together as one body. It's not me saying this, it's written in this book. The Holy Spirit is still open and available to all who seek of Him wisdom and understanding. There is still time to rightly divine from the word of God what universal tenants of belief across the entire body of believers should be and what they should not be. So start the hard conversations, and make the changes that the Holy Spirit prompts within you. This isn't about pride of denomination or belief, but rather this is about unveiling the Kingdom of God in a more powerful way to affect the lives of those on this Earth for good and not evil. So tomorrow bring the lost, bring other Christians, but above all bring your children! Don't leave them at home or put them in daycare, because you think they'll be scared or act out or because you don't think their mature enough to handle what they'll feel and be exposed to. Be real with them and let them see the ways of God firsthand from an early age and tomorrow you might just see them eternally saved. Wouldn't that be something? Church listen close to me, when I tell you that there is an army of darkness that reigns in high places that seeks to devour and kill all of us, but our children are the most vulnerable and the dark forces that be know that. Church it's time that we assume the mantle of authority given to us by Jesus and start to reclaim the territory that has been lost over the years by the many congregations just like this one who have not claimed the position of authority given to us by Jesus. It's time we took territory from the grip of evil that's never even been threatened by us before. It's time! It's always been time, ever since my Savior died on a cross for my sins so let's start making it now! The process starts with you people getting right before the Lord and discovering your Kingdom identities and learning to surrender all even as you let the Holy Spirit build in you the hope of the world in order for the Church to claim the victory, because the victory has already been won. We just have to claim it and then know what to do with it."
