I Am Calling You Out! (Part Two)... Come Out of the Churches of Men and I Will Receive You! Says The Lord - Section Six: IMMANU EL HAS PASSED YOU BY!
10/7/10 From The Lord, Our God and Savior
The Word of The Lord Spoken to Timothy
For All Those Who Have Ears to Hear
Therefore, I ask you, who are all these who have opened their mouths foolishly, to reproach The Living God?! And who are all these who display a form of godliness, yet deny the power thereof?! What part do I have with all these houses, which are called by My name? And what part do I have with all these churches of men, who do always take the name of The Lord in vain by all they say and do?! I TELL YOU THE TRUTH, YOU ARE ALL AS FOREIGNERS TO ME! IMMANU EL HAS PASSED YOU BY! For I had poured out My spirit upon you, that you might be bathed in the light of My coming; behold, upon all flesh did I pour it out! Yet you would not receive of Me, nor would you come out. Instead you turned away from My leading, and shut the door when I came knocking. For you do always resist the Voice of Truth and refuse correction! Says The Lord.
Thus says The Lord: Churches of men, you have surely played the harlot, even as your mother has played the harlot, reveling in her fornications! From the beginning she has been a whore and played the harlot, receiving into herself many lovers! She has never been on the side of truth; deceits are found always in her mouth! Even those who came out of her, to point the finger, became like her!
For there is nothing new under the sun, for the heart of man remains deceitful and wicked! And in his unending quest for power he grows ever more corrupt, as he strives always to enhance his self-perceived glory, that he might fulfill his ever-increasing lusts! Yet I tell you the truth, the reformers are cast down! Every one of them sleeps; in the pit they have all lain down.
O great and lofty churches of men, you have enlarged yourselves! Your pomp reaches unto new heights, higher than your tallest steeple, by which you seek to pierce Heaven! Therefore, I shall surely cast you down; even all of you shall be made to sit upon the ground! For you do always resist My voice, and in your arrogance you reject My words, believing yourselves to be above reproach, deep-seated pride which chokes My Word and is quick to blaspheme My spirit! BEHOLD, YOU HAVE SURELY REPROACHED ME! Says The Lord. You have slandered My servants, and bore false witness in My name against Me and My messengers! For you say, “Surely they have a demon! Yes, they have given heed to deceiving spirits, for God would never speak in such a manner!” Yet I tell you the truth, it is you who has given heed, it is you who has been greatly deceived! Therefore are My servants slain and My people given up to the blade.
Yet you persist, and say, “WE serve The Lord, WE are God’s servants.” YOU HAVE SURELY SWORN FALSELY! For as I live, says The Lord, you have all spoken lies before Me! Thus as it was written of My people, Israel, so it is even unto this day with you: For you have grown fat, you are sleek. Yes, your deeds surpass those of the wicked. You do not plead the cause, the cause of the fatherless, yet you prosper, and the right of the needy you do not defend... Thus you are given up to the slaughter!
Yes, you have all grown rich, very fat; you are swollen with pride! Your houses have become enlarged, spreading far and wide! Therefore every lofty house must be brought down, and every great and lavish church must be left in ruins! Behold, I shall tear you in pieces! Says The Lord. And in the day of My anger, I shall not withhold, for you have surely robbed Me! You have surely cast My people down, accounting them as spoils! Unfruitful servants, shall I not repay?! Shall I not punish you for all these things?!
