The Bible plainly tells us that the Lord never changes! Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, and today, and forever! We also know that He is not willing that any should perish, but that all come to repentance.
With that being said, why do we see so little evidence of His presence today? Oh, I'm not talking about the high-powered "worship" times that get people worked into a frenzy. I believe that there is more flesh than spirit in most of those times.
I'm talking about God's presence that changes lives, that instills a hatred for sin and a desire for holiness in the life of the believer! A "new creature", "born-again" reality that marks a person as God's own!
The answer is that God has never changed! But people have cast aside the clear teaching of Biblical salvation, and have constructed a theology of "sleazy grace" that enables them to profess a belief in God while denying the power thereof!
Revival was never meant to be a future "maybe"; it is meant to be an ever-present reality as we live with and for Him day-by-day!
I have a great burden for "christians" who think nothing of lying, or treat church attendance lightly, or are entangled in relationships that the Bible says is wrong- and the list goes an and on and on!
Please hear this, beloved: Jesus really is coming again; and, He is coming for those who are looking for Him!
All who are truly in that number are embracing holiness, eschewing evil, and endeavoring to honor the Lord in all that they do!
Are you in that number?
God bless.
