Crisis and the Kingdom of God
Today’s Focus: The Answer to Crisis
Scripture: Haggai 2:7-9
Greetings Kingdom Citizens
Now with all of the economic downfalls we have had over the past 2 to 3 years, many people are in panic and in disarray. Slowing we are seeing the church for what it has become and slowly we are seeing the true church emerge. What do I mean? When crisis hit and pressure is applied to the lives of people, one of two things happen. We will either see the glory of God through these who are in the crisis or we will see fear and panic in the lives of the people. Moreover, the religious church is not producing any answers for these people. Many are so crooked that they will say, that you need to give to them so that you can get your blessing from God. Huh? Now they are sitting up rich, and some multi-millionaires but the people are impoverished. Funny during the during this crisis God showed me that places like TBN, Daystar and the Word Network are pushing through so many “fundraisers” they call them love offerings and the people who are not mature in the Word of God, take their daily bread that God gives them to pay their bills and take care of themselves and give it to these crooks who misuse scripture for the sake of filthy lucre but yet the lives of the giver is not changed.
In the past 5 years we have see earthquakes and natural disasters claim thousands of lives. From Haiti to Chile to Pakistan to Japan and to Spain we are seeing more frequent earthquakes. In the United States in the month of April and May 2011 we saw over 250 tornadoes literally overnight come out of the sky and 300 lives we taken during this overnight set of storms that went through Alabama.
In 2011 we see the uprising of many nations by the people because they are tired of the oppression. From, Egypt, to Syria and to Libya we are seeing people taking to the streets demanding for freedom. We know that many of these uprisings are happening in predominate Muslim countries. These people are losing their lives for the sake of freedom because brutal dictators are oppressing them and keeping them in poverty.
We have been looking at a spiritual attack that continues to come upon the Kingdom of God by the antichrist spirit of homosexuality. We are watching the churches give in and compromise the Word of God to accept homosexual leadership and one-by-one the denominations are falling under this antichrist leadership. We are seeing more of the antichrist spirit in Hollywood impact and influence the leadership of churches to get them to cast their lots in with Hollywood. All for the sake of fame and fortune they sell their souls to the devil to live out their personal childhood fantasy at the hands and expenses of the souls of God’s people. So what is the answer?
I will give you the answer here but throughout the rest of the series we will work backwards and come back to why this is the answer. The answer of every one of these problems is:
The House of God
Let me leave you with this scripture and we will pick this up in the next message:
Haggai 2:7-9: And I will shake all nations and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the Lord of hosts. The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the Lord of hosts: The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the Lord of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the Lord of hosts.
Peace, Love and Grace from the Father,
