The Sins of the Church

No one has enumerated the sins of the Church.  They think she is good.  But she seeks acceptance, and intercourse with the world.  She strengthens the hands of evil by giving permission for abortion and marrying men and women of the same sex.  The world has no standard for love or for family because the Church has sanctioned what never was love.

Though governments have laws by which to care for the old and the poor, the infirmed and the mentally ill, the Church ignores those with need who sit in her very pews.  The world knows more about the value of humans and nurturing than the church does.

However, the lust for worldly favors and fame among men has driven church leaders to begin orphanages and women’s homes abroad.  “The reproach of the church,” they say, “will be taken away by these good works.”  Though they are insincere in their love for their own flock, despising their needs, these men go to great expense to support out-lying ministries that make them look benevolent.

The Church has come to despise her offspring, favoring them in their youth and then discarding them.  She is like a mother who only wants small children who do cute things out of ignorance.  She despises her children’s growing knowledge, and their wisdom is an indictment against her foolishness.

The world trains up their children with vision for a future.  The training of the churches has been to receive money from her own children.  She has no vision for those she teaches and no plan to prosper them.  Though they learn well and grow in stature, she will grow in jealousy and remove their place to secure her own.

I have adorned My Church with My Spirit and beautiful music that heals troubled souls and draws men to Me.  But My Church lusted after the affection of the world, adorning My worship with the world’s lust through both music and apparel.  They relaxed their prudence which had protected their purity, and made noises and presented sites that displease Me. These draw men to the excitement of their flesh, and the broken and the wounded remain so.

The leaders of the Church have become high-minded and seek no instruction from the Lord.  They want suits and agendas that draw a crowd and give them a good reputation so that they will be received amongst men.  These things they will learn about, but they reject the true Word of the Lord.  Their prophets support the leader’s willful desires for gain and fame and do not reprove them.  How useless are the prophets and apostles of this age who will not give correction! And when I send My true Word through My true prophets, you reject them.  Like to Jesus, you say to My prophets, “we will not have you rule over us.”  You think you can seize the inheritance by the fierceness of your dedication to prosper, but it will be handed down to those meek servants of Mine that you refused to listen to.  When I restore order to My people, you insincere leaders will be on the bottom and My true apostles and prophets will lead My people.

The leaders have intimidated the flock with admonitions of “unity.” You forget the scriptures that say those who are genuine will not be a part of your insincerity.  If you will not listen to My true prophets for fear of losing your position, I have troubled the weak and lowly of your congregation about your behavior so that you could listen to them.  Will you continue to demand conformity, calling it unity?

Even the world assesses its motives and aligns them for goals that meet their mission statement.  But you refuse to listen to those I send you or those I raise up in your midst because your mission statement is good, but your motives are selfish.  What you lack in integrity you make up for in innovation and technology, to the point that they world has clothed you and you have set aside My clothing altogether.

How you use intimidation to keep your positions, accusing My servants of pride and insubordination!  Your position will be put low and you will be last who loved not the Word of the Lord. Will you brag to men about what you can accomplish by the numbers of those who sit before you?  You count My servants as your own, and I am no longer the Head of your body.  Your cancerous ideas have made the body of little use, until all that remains is your own talking head.  How full of yourself you have become, that your self-satisfaction has blinded you to the point where you cannot see your own hands and feet have withered and all is consumed with unhealthiness.

I have designed My body to maintain its health by the nurturing of each part supplying what is needed.  The body of the talking heads have smitten their own health and become corrupt with disease because they say they don’t need their other parts.  But I will remove the talking heads and restore My order to My body when I am once again the Head.  Life shall flow through the body and bring the nourishment from each member to the next until all is whole, clean and pure.  The Life is in the blood and flows through My entire body for this purpose; that she would live.
