I know lots of confessing Christians -- of whom most have been lulled into apathy & then drawn into LUKEWARM CHURCHES.
YOU (my brothers and sisters in Christ) ARE IN MY PRAYERS TODAY!
YOU (my brothers and sisters in Christ) ARE IN MY PRAYERS TODAY!
FORGIVE US LORD, AS I HUMBLE BOW BEFORE YOU THIS MORNING,
CONFESSING MY OWN LACK OF SENSITIVENESS TO YOUR WAYS AND TRUTHS ALL TOO OFTEN
AND
FOR BEING A FREQUENTLY COMPLACENT PLACATER --
PLEASE HELP THE BODY OF BELIEVERS (aka the church) RETURN TO OUR FIRST LOVE OF JESUS
AND TO GOD'S HOLY WORDS IN SCRIPTURES --
REVIVE AND REFRESH YOUR PEOPLE, I PRAY
Repent by Steve Green with Lyrics
Revelation 3:14 And to the angel (messenger) of the assembly (church) in Laodicea write: These are the words of the Amen, the trusty and faithful and true Witness, the Origin and Beginning and Author of God’s creation:
15 I know your [record of] works and what you are doing; you are NEITHER COLD NOR HOT. Would that you were cold or hot!
16 So, because you are LUKEWARM AND NEITHER COLD NOR HOT I WILL SPEW YOU OUT OF MY MOUTH!
15 I know your [record of] works and what you are doing; you are NEITHER COLD NOR HOT. Would that you were cold or hot!
16 So, because you are LUKEWARM AND NEITHER COLD NOR HOT I WILL SPEW YOU OUT OF MY MOUTH!
17 For you say, I am rich; I have prospered and grown wealthy, and I am in need of nothing; and you do not realize and understand that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked.
18 Therefore I counsel you to purchase from Me gold refined and tested by fire, that you may be [truly] wealthy, and white clothes to clothe you and to keep the shame of your nudity from being seen, and salve to put on your eyes, that you may see.
18 Therefore I counsel you to purchase from Me gold refined and tested by fire, that you may be [truly] wealthy, and white clothes to clothe you and to keep the shame of your nudity from being seen, and salve to put on your eyes, that you may see.
19 Those whom I [dearly and tenderly] love, I TELL THEIR FAULTS AND CONVICT AND CONVICT AND REPROVE AND CHASTEN [I discipline and instruct them]. So BE ENTHUSIASTIC AND IN EARNEST BURNING WITH ZEAL AND REPENT [changing your mind and attitude].
20 Behold, I STAND AT THE DOOR AND KNOCK; IS ANYONE HEARS AND LISTENS TO AND HEEDS MY VOICE AND OPENS THE DOOR, I WILL COME IN TO HIM AND WILL EAT WITH HIM AND, AND HE [will eat] WITH ME.
21 HE WHO OVERCOMES, (is victorious), I WILL GRANT HIM TO SIT BESIDE ME ON MY THRONE, as I Myself overcame (was victorious) and sat down beside My Father on His throne.
22 HE WHO IS ABLE TO HEAR, LET HIM LISTEN TO AND TO HEED WHAT THE [Holy] SPIRIT SAYS TO THE ASSEMBLIES (churches).
REVIVAL STARTS WITH REPENTANCE & RENOUNCING
THE SPIRIT OF ERROR
LUKEWARMNESS -
LIBERALISM - MODERNISM -TOLERANCE - COMPROMISE
RENOUNCETO SAY PUBLICLY
that you no longer own, support, believe in, or have a connection with something
TO REPENT IS
to be sorry & admit that you did something bad
or that you neglected to do something good (omission).
