The Daily Word of Righteousness

Revelation 11:9,10, continued

And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived. (Revelation 18:23)

Today the voice of the Bridegroom and the Bride are in the churches, so to speak. Go into any Evangelical church. The reason I talk about the Evangelical churches is that I am an Evangelical and these are the churches I am familiar with.

Go into any Evangelical church. You will find in the average church a few true Christians. It is because of them that the Spirit of God is in the church. The rest of the churchgoers do not know the Lord. They have "made a decision for Christ." Many of them have spoken in tongues. But they do not know the Lord Jesus. They know about the house of God but they have never met the God of the house of God.

In the days to come the true Christians will be driven from the Evangelical churches. They will not be missed by most of the churchgoers. It will be business as usual. Many church spirits will be active and so the congregation will suppose the Spirit of Christ is among them.

The "believers" will come together, they will sing Christian hymns and choruses, the announcements will be read, the offering will be taken, and the pastor will preach from the Bible.

Yet, the Holy Spirit will not be present. Why? Because there is no one in the assembling who is walking with Jesus. There are no disciples there. There is no one offering himself or herself as a living sacrifice to God. They are Christians in name only.

God is calling to the churches in America to repent. If they do not, God will go to other countries and America will suffer very severe judgment. There will come forth a witness of unprecedented authority and power in these days whether or not the American Christians participate.

After the witness has been given to God's satisfaction the witness will be overcome, as we have said. The remnant of true saints will be driven from the major cities of the earth. The authority and power of Christ will be with the remnant. The churches in the major cities will be as we have described. They will proceed with all Christian practices. The bodies will not be buried but will continue to be animated by human talent. But these Christian institutions will be dead because the Spirit of God will not be in them.

This is what the future holds. God wants you to become a real Christian, a victorious saint. Serve God with all your heart. Seek Christ with everything that is in you. You can escape being deceived in these days, but you will have to take up your cross and follow Jesus if you wish to finally stand in victory before the Son of Man.
