"WHAT HAS BECOME OF MY CHURCH?"

Feb. 14, evening

 1 Therefore let us move beyond the elementary teachings about Christ
and be taken forward to maturity, not laying again the foundation of
repentance from acts that lead to death,[a] and of faith in God, 2
instruction about cleansing rites, the laying on of hands, the
resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. 3 And God permitting,
we will do so. Heb. 6:1-3

"I ask that you walk as wise men in this hour. For the days will grow
darker as you enter into the later part of this year. For you will be
thrust into situations where you will have to walk closer and closer
to me.  For you won't be able to depend upon your earthly abilities.
Your own common sense and perceptions will fail you; logic will not
answer your problems.  For you will have to walk hand-in-hand with
me.  You won't be able to see with your natural eyes.  For you
will have to step out of the boat as Peter did.  But just as Peter
kept his eyes on me; you must do the same.

For when you take your eyes off of me and focus them upon the waves
then surely you will sink.  For you are coming into a time and era
when your faith will be a needed commodity.  As it is, most of you
have 'toyed' with the idea of faith.  Many of you have not 'walked it
out.'   But I will put you into situations where you will have to
demonstrate it more and more. For you may not continue to have the
same employment.  You may not have the same homes. 

You may have to be  in a situation where you are dependent upon

one another more and  more.  It's not that I would take things away from you, but it's that
my body would work together as one.  For you see, there are only 'bits
and pieces'  of when I see my body working together as one.
I see you come together in your churches, but rarely do I see you
laying your life down for each other.  You share your gifts but not
your hearts.  You play at church. You sing a song or two. You sense my
presence, but you really don't know me. You say, 'Brother that was
great preaching,' but secretly in your heart you really didn't hear
the message.  My true church was  once a church that did these things, but now you

flock to your  seminars and conferences. 

Now you go to hear the newest wave of my  spirit.  When will you ever learn and grow up?  

When will you quit  building mansions for your own ministries?   I tell you, what has  become of my church! "
