All the nations fell because of the wine of her sexual sins. The
kings of the earth had sex with her. Her luxurious wealth has made the
merchants of the earth rich.” I heard another voice from heaven saying,
“Come out of Babylon, my people, so that you do not participate in her
sins and suffer from any of her plagues. Her sins are piled as high as
heaven, and God has remembered her crimes. Do to her what she has done.
Give her twice as much as she gave. Serve her a drink in her own cup
twice as large as the drink she served others. She gave herself glory
and luxury. Now give her just as much torture and misery. She says to
herself, ‘I’m a queen on a throne, not a widow. I’ll never be
miserable.’ For this reason her plagues of death, misery, and starvation
will come in a single day. She will be burned up in a fire, because the
Lord God, who judges her, is powerful. “The kings of the earth who had
sex with her and lived in luxury with her will cry and mourn over her
when they see the smoke rise from her raging fire. Frightened by her
torture, they will stand far away and say, ‘How horrible, how horrible
it is for that important city, the powerful city Babylon! In one moment
judgment has come to it!’ “The merchants of the earth cry and mourn over
her, because no one buys their cargo anymore.
(Rev 18:3-11 GW)
Aren’t people bought and sold and traded as commodities in the
American Church, They are used for their gifts and talents and then,
when they have nothing left to give, they’re discarded like one would
throw away a chicken bone after the meat had been stripped off the
bone.(Bones, however have value to God, as Adam’s bride came from a
single bone And, let’s not forget Ezekiel’s valley of dry bones that he
was told to prophesy over) Doesn’t a church’s attendance depend on the
popularity of the pastor and the quality of the worship band. How many
people attend because they are sold out to Jesus and they long for His
presence. Of all the services that people will attend, the prayer
service is the least attended.
I saw a vision a little while ago. In the vision I saw many pulpits
and preachers in the pulpits. Some were in robes and some in suits.
These were well respected, very learned men. They were all preaching to a
very large congregation and the eyes of everyone in the congregation
were riveted on the pastors and their ears were attuned to every word
that was being spoken by them. In back of these pastors I saw Jesus on
the cross. Not once did any of these pastors mention Jesus or the cross
and not once did the people look past the pastors to see Jesus on the
cross.
Another vision I saw was that of a man and a woman at a table in a
restaurant. The man had taken the woman to eat but the purpose if the
meal was for him to have sex with her, thus gratifying only himself. As
they were talking and eating, I saw his head turn and lust after every
other woman who would walk by and wonder what it would be like to have
sex with them. Then I felt that the Lord say that this is His people.
They don’t seek after Him but after Holy Spirit orgasms. They go from
church to church and person to person until their flesh is satisfied.
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but
wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves
teachers in accordance to their own desires, and will turn away their
ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths.
(2Ti 4:3-4 NASB)
The Greek word for tickled is: knḗthō; fut. knḗsō, a later form
of knáō (n.f.), to cut, scrape, scratch, tickle. In the NT, only in
the pass. meaning to be tickled, to feel an itching. Metaphorically in
2Ti_4:3 meaning being tickled, itching referring to the ears, having an
itch to hear something pleasing.
This is what I feel the :Lord saying to me.
