THE LORD IS GRIEVED!

Pat Downey, Klerksdorp, writes: The Lord is grieved with His Church! His Body is torn and bleeding. The leadership of His Church are using His Word as stones wherewith they stone one another. It has become a personal weapon to them, wherewith they defend THEIR honour, and promote THEIR agenda, and they are giving the enemy of God reason for mirth! God will shake His Church. Judgment BEGINS with the Church. Satan desired to sift (shake) the disciples, but this time God Himself will shake HIS disciples. Those who refuse to submit to the crucifixion of SELF, who resent the nails and the person God uses to wield the hammer, will fall by the wayside and will cause many to be offended. Those who stone one another with God's Word and do not repent will be held guilty of despising the Blood of the Lord. The Spirit of the Lord will depart from their ministries and they will be led by a deceiving spirit, heaping guilt upon their heads. God is not mocked! Scripture reference: “For it is time for judgment to begin with the family of God; and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who do not obey the gospel of God?” ( 1 Peter 4:17 NJKV).
