God is not going to fix the Church. Many prophetic voices are speaking of the magic cure for the church; repentance, love, faith . . . and with each year they speak of the many blessings God is going to bring upon the Church. We are led to believe their words will come true If we pray hard enough, love long enough, and believe with all our heart .
What will come true is God’s Words. I just read today a prophecy about God wanting to raise His people up in Wisdom. This is true. 2 years ago I prophesied to a very prominent Christian leader that the Lord was asking him to close his schools of prophecy, for they were misleading people. The schools also were being marketed for the spectacular, and God would not honor that. What the Lord asked this leader to do was to open schools of wisdom. But scarcely a man, much less a prominent man, will close that which brings him renown just to open a new thing that no one is seeking.
God is not going to fix the Church. The many prophetic voices are the reason the Church needs to be fixed. They want the system to stay the same because it honors them. They keep out the prophets that are not part of their select few, and raise up new ones who will parrot them. Those in the prophetic schools say “I am of _____” and “I am of ______”, naming famous ministry heads that they have studied under.
But few stand in the presence of God to hear what He has to say, those things which would not be positive or bring blessing. Few see that the Church is the Harlot of Revelation 17 & 18. If God told them, would they jeopardize their standing with other men in order to declare it? Would they upset their social clubs of receiving each other, and only each other, to declare the truth?
Yes, some will say the truth. Some will take the risk of being ostracized by the Church in order to declare God’s words. They will feed that remnant that is becoming God’s Bride. They will minister to her and make her ready. They will be glorified as sons of God, for so are their hearts like His who regarded not the honor of men, but stayed true to His Father. Amen.
