God is giving Americans a chance to experience what it would be like if they were mandated to obey the government in all things.
Our churches have defied and defiled God in their services, indulging in pride and sin without repentance toward God. Please take these weeks to reflect on our own attitudes, our beliefs and our actions to see if there be any wicked way within our hearts that displease God.
I am convinced that if the churches do not repent from their false ways God will bring something bigger and longer to chastise the churches. Persecution and isolation may make people think about their practices and their pride.
We have been grumpy and entitled all these years in America, we sinned with impunity without fear of discipline, even in the churches.
Many complained when they didn't have their way and they didn't honor God in those ways. Many developed a false system of religion that God never commanded while standing staunchly to defend those false ways.
Instead of winning about our freedom to gather in the gigantic debt filled buildings, perhaps the churches ought to be hanging their head in shame over the filth, sin and pompous attitudes that have driven these apostate church gatherings.
Instead of blaming the government for shutting everything down, it might be better to feel ashamed and evaluate the ways we dishonored God in the gatherings.
Perhaps we ought to think in terms that the churches were the ones who motivated God to shut us all down. The churches were to blame not the government. The government was merely the entity God used to accomplish His will, that is the discipline for the apostate ways of the modern church.
Malachi 1:10
"Oh that there were one among you who would shut the gates, that you might not uselessly kindle fire on My altar! I am not pleased with you," says the LORD of hosts, "nor will I accept an offering from you.
We have indulged in false religion in most churches today, so God has shut us down, will we listen to His chastisement?
