A TORNADO IS COMING TO YOUR CHURCH--Pt 3

So where does this message to the church from this dream leave us today? Maybe we need to ask ourselves a few questions. First of all are we seated comfortably on our religious bus seat? In other words are we among those who have a false sense of security believing that we are heaven bound as we sit on our comfortable pews Sunday in and Sunday out, complacent, compromised and having no burden for the lost? We should ask ourselves has God's Spirit tried moving in our lives only to be quenched? Maybe we should ask ourselves, do we, like Paul in Romans 7:24, find ourselves crying out, "O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death?" Like Paul do we find ourselves doing what we should not be doing and not doing the things that we should? In other words, we know what to do based on God's word, yet we don't do it. Could we be like the demoniac of Gadarenes who was tortured by contrary spirits? He had a "legion" of demons controlling his life.

What's the garbage or sin in our lives that is damming up the blessings of God for our lives? Do we have the contrary spirits of lust, adultery, or porn? Could it be that our contrary spirits are lying, deception, gossip, a murderous spirit in our hearts, envy, covetousness, complacency, lukewarm toward holy things, no burden for the lost? Or could it be that we simply have lost our first love for Christ? He is no longer occupying the first place in our hearts, our affections, our time or our love.

The demonic tried to get rid of his contrary spirits by cutting himself, by torturing his flesh. He wanted to be free but possessed not the human power to get free. It took Jesus Christ Himself to set this person free from his contrary spirits! So it is with us. To be free from our contrary spirits that keep us seated as the Spirit moves, we too must heed the words of Romans 12:2, "Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God." To be free from the dross, garbage, sin, and contrary spirits in our lives we must renew our minds. We must make up our minds that we will not conform ourselves to this world and its way of thinking. By "coming out from among them and being separate" we prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

David put it this way in Psalms 51:10, "Create in me a clean heart oh God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me." When David said, "Renew a steadfast spirit within me," he was asking God to give him a mindset that was determined to be pure, holy and righteous in God's sight. We too must set our minds on that which is holy, pure and righteous in God's sight if we ever wish to receive the fullness of God's blessings, revival, miracles, healings, signs and wonders, gifts, etc. As it was in the dream, don't you desire the Holy Ghost to spew out the white cloud of all that has been stored up for the church into your life? Then you must submit to the wind of God's judgment and allow him to remove all your dross, garbage, sin and contrary spirits.

As we face this tornadic wind of God's judgment that is coming to the church, we can face it without fear if we abide by the words found in second Timothy 1:7, "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." As our minds become sound by setting them upon Christ, His words and the holy things of God and we make Jesus our first love, we then will experience the power of God to face anything that is coming in these last days--- and be victorious!

THERE IS A TORNADO COMING TO YOUR CHURCH! It will clean you up or mess you up! It will fire you up or burn you up! It will bless you or destroy you! YOUR CHOICE!! Surrender your garbage, contrary spirits and sin and receive all that God has for you or MISS THE GREATEST MOVE OF GOD EVER!!!!
