God's Call for Faithful Worship
00:05:07
|
|
| Here you are, Mary Ann, a watchman, a prophet carrying the mantle, imparted to you. | |
| What has the Lord been really stirring in your heart lately? | |
| He has been stirring his grief for his church and the lack of faith. | |
| You know, when we are in such a Moses moment, we're such a Pharaoh moment. | |
| God's people came out of Egypt, but they didn't go into the promised land because they murmured. | |
| They didn't have what they wanted. | |
| And God is saying, I'm coming looking for a people who are not looking for a government handout or a quick jab. | |
| I am looking for a people who are going to walk by faith and are going to seek me with their whole heart and are going to prepare themselves for a final move of the Spirit. | |
| There's such a mixture. | |
| He's cleansing. | |
| He's going through and he's turning over the, you know, when Moses was given the Ten Commandments, he got angry at the people because they, you know, they were doing their golden calf and it says that he threw the tables down, the tablets. | |
| Well, God is bringing down the golden calf in America and around the world today. | |
| He's not going to allow us to worship worship or worship a system. | |
| He's turning over the tables of what we've been doing for a generation that's been lost. | |
| And we're in the mess we're in because the church has sat back and played games and cuddled up against the world and wanted God to do things their way instead of doing things God's way. | |
| So we are at a point where we're at a crossroads. | |
| We're at a crossroads. | |
| Jim, Lori, we are at a crossroads of God saying, if you're on my side, get on my side. | |
| You're going to believe me. | |
| You're going to draw close to me. | |
| You're going to walk by faith. | |
| You're going to trust me. | |
| You're not going to look to the left or to the right. | |
| And it's a test because people are fearful. | |
| There's more fear over the CV than there is a fear of God. | |
| And God's saying, I want my people to fear. | |
| When we fear him, nothing can touch us. | |
| When we fear him, he is our deliverer. | |
| When we fear him, he gives us strength. | |
| The days of being able to, you know, the mega churches, the grease secret, you know, people don't have strength anymore. | |
| The Christians, they're not victorious. | |
| Because, you know, Titus 2 and 11 and 12, it says that the grace of God has appeared unto all men, teaching us to depart from ungodliness and worldliness. | |
| That's the strength. | |
| Grace gives us the strength to resist and the power and victory. | |
| It's not a license to sin, but the grace that's been doled out and measured out for the last 20 years that the church has been giving out has created a weak people because it's not the true grace. | |
| It's not a grace that is the power to resist evil. | |
| It's the power to excuse evil. | |
| And so people are weak. | |
| And God's raising up and calling out a people who will sell out, who will cry out to him with their whole hearts and not let their faith be mixed. | |
| You know, there's a mixture. | |
| You know, the word says that like as a grain mustard seeds. | |
| If your faith is a grain, it doesn't say like them. | |
| And people say, well, that's a small, if you just have a small amount of faith. | |
| No, the mustard seed is the only seed that cannot cross-pollinate. | |
| You cannot mix it. | |
| The mustard seed. | |
| Someone wasn't talking about big or small. | |
| You just have a little bit of faith. | |
| It was the purity of the faith. | |
| What's your faith resting on? | |
| Is it a pure faith? | |
| And is it all in God? | |
| Are we looking to him? | |
| Are we looking to what we've been told about him? | |
| Are we seeking him with all? | |
| Are we crying out to him and saying, God, cleanse me? | |
| God, cleanse me, Lord. | |
| Search me, God. | |
| Try me. | |
| Know me. | |
| The power that God wants to manifest will only come through a dead, you know what, talk about death earlier. | |
| I was dead to myself, dead to my desires. | |
| No one arrives. | |
| I'm not saying that, but we've got to die. | |
| We have got to come to the place where we are so sold out to God that no matter what happens, we are going to serve him and we're going to trust him and our faith is going to be in him and not we hear or what we see. | |

Times Testing Us
00:00:38
|
|
| And that's what he's calling for. | |
| And you know what? | |
| The times are going to bring that out. | |
| The times are going to test us. | |
| God doesn't need to test us because he wants to see what we're made of. | |
| Trials are for us to see what we're made of. | |
| That's right. | |
| And the sifting and separating right now, it's not for God. | |
| It's for us. | |
| When we see that, God, I am not trusting you. | |
| I murmur and complaining, the fear, all the fear factor in the body of Christ is off the charts. | |
| And you can't trust someone you don't know. | |
| So there's a call for intimacy. | |
| There's a call for repentance. | |
