God's Purposes in All Things

During these last two years, I told Christians that God has a purpose for these times of sickness, He was saying; "you were not speaking the gospel as you should have been, therefore I have covered your mouths as a witness against you.

I sought God in these last two years and He said to me; "the church gatherings have twisted my Gospel and turned the houses of prayer into houses of pleasure so I am closing them all that you might seek me in your homes."

Mark 11:17

"And he was teaching them and saying to them, “Is it not written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations’? But you have made it a den of robbers.”

Acts 2:42

"And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers."

He took away our pleasure venues, our ability to spend money wildly for our pleasure, and gave us a fearful time to ponder our need for Him. Just saying!!!!

I witnessed churches becoming more concerned about the loss of their freedom, and the political course of this country than they were about worshiping Christ and speaking the gospel to others.

Do you know what I found? I found that many Christians didn't know how to worship in their own homes. They didn't hold prayer meetings in their homes because they didn't know how to pray. They were embarrassed to mention the name of Jesus Christ to others.

I never heard pastors encouraging their congregants to pray and worship at home. They acted as though worship and prayer could not happen unless there was that man up front in a building somewhere other than their own homes.

Acts 2:42

"They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer."

Acts 2:46

"With one accord they continued to meet daily in the temple courts and to break bread from house to house, sharing their meals with gladness and sincerity of heart,"

The American church has been turned into political meetings rather than places of worship and prayer. May we repent from our worldly focus of making our nation first above God.
