Cutoff

Has the Church community come to the place in history where the open door service is a thing of the past? And will we recognize the prophetic season when the World’s attitude toward the Body of Christ changes and turns against us.

More importantly, will the people of God have the discernment to distinguish between potential souls for the kingdom of God or insurgents, whose mission is to confront the Church without the Churches knowledge?

In the intervening of time, the World has just witnessed Christianity at its finest.  As families say goodbye to love ones in South Carolina, it’s impossible to ignore the triumphing Body of Christ, forgiving the murderer for massacring nine individuals in cold blood while in Bible Study. But then again, who is this “Body of Christ?” A body is something that moves in harmonic accord. This righteous act, by the Church of forgiveness, caused News reporters overcome with emotions, choking up while trying to report what they were observing.

Just as the world was emotionally touched by what they saw in the church’s forgiving family members, God is also moved when His body conform to the teaching of the Bible. The Body of Christ is intended to live before a troubled World, demonstrating what the Bible says, however, the message should be clear and concise. The truth is God, gives us the strength to live victorious lives; that’s only when we let Him.

Our Lord, Jesus Christ is faithful to strengthen everybody who depends on his participation in their lives. At the same time, if we continually ignoring His Word, there may be a spiritual dead zone where our ears become dull of hearing.

 

The Cutoff

This has noting to do with the South Carolina, but in our own circles, do we know those that are among us. This new age movement believes, God accepts any behavior done by church goers. While this message sounds good, Biblical history conveys the message of misbehaving children of God and the adverse consequences.

1Pe 3:12  ¹² For the eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, And His ears are open to their prayers, But the face of the LORD is against those who do evil.” (1Pe 3:12 NKJ)

To say God gives up on people is unthinkable, the truth is we are the ones who turned our backs on God. The point is, is there a time when God says stop trying to when people whose heart is not toward God and no change has taken place.

 Rom 1:24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another.

When do we draw the line?

Sometimes we try holding on to people who refuse to follow God. This group is sent into the Body of Christ just to entangle themselves in the life of the saints. Young ladies may find themselves mixed up in ungodly relations, thinking marriage will be the result. Non-believers are guided by the forces of darkness, right into the Church, targeting innocent believers, who haven’t a clue of the derailment they are about to experience.

 ^NLT  Romans 1:28 Since they thought it foolish to acknowledge God, he abandoned them to their foolish thinking and let them do things that should never be done. (Rom 1:28 NLT)

Job 21:14 Yet they say to God, Leave us alone! We have no desire to know your ways. 

Rom 8:7 the sinful mind is hostile to God. It does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. 

Pro 1:29-33 ³⁰ They rejected my advice and paid no attention when I corrected them.

 ³¹ Therefore, they must eat the bitter fruit of living their own way, choking on their own schemes.

 ³² For simpletons turn away from me– to death. Fools are destroyed by their own complacency.

 ³³ But all who listen to me will live in peace, untroubled by fear of harm.” (Pro 1:29-33 NLT)

Cut Off

The believer should always be alert of those who never display any signs of growth. Subsequently, the problem is you as well as the Devil if our witness carried godly conviction, maybe then they will recognize the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

1Pe 3:10-15  ¹⁰ For the Scriptures say, “If you want to enjoy life and see many happy days, keep your tongue from speaking evil and your lips from telling lies. ¹¹ Turn away from evil and do good. Search for peace, and work to maintain it. ¹² The eyes of the Lord watch over those who do right, and his ears are open to their prayers. But the Lord turns his face against those who do evil.” ¹³ Now, who will want to harm you if you are eager to do good? ¹⁴ But even if you suffer for doing what is right, God will reward you for it. So don’t worry or be afraid of their threats. ¹⁵ Instead, you must worship Christ as Lord of your life. And if someone asks about your Christian hope, always be ready to explain it.

(1Pe 3:10-15 NLT)
