Hey guys,

As many of you know, today is Pentecost Sunday. Near the end of service, my pastor led the congregation in a prayer and invited whomever to pray as they felt. Well, I was impressed to pray and began praying in tongues, kinda under my breath and then continued. I don't know for how long, but while I was praying, the Holy Spirit told me to continue for ten minutes... it was actually more like an offer.. does that make sense? It was like, "can you continue for 10 minutes? If you can, you will recieve. They waited for 10 days, you wait for 10 minutes..."


ANYWAY... so I continued to pray. As I prayed, I started feeling tingly in my arms and a warm? sensation came through me. I continued to pray and then I could hear these words and I knew the Lord wanted me to say it out loud, but I said "I can't say that, they won't believe me!"

But I kept praying, and then the words just came out, and I didn't stop them this time.

Here it is:

A warning from the Lord! , a warning from the Lord!
A warning from the Lord! A warning from t e Lord!
Are there any who will hear? Are there any who will understand?

A warning! A warning from the Lord!
A warning from the Lord! A warning fromt he Lord!
All are dull of hearing, all are blind of sight!
You will be caught, you will be snared for you will not hear.

A warning! A warning from the Lord!
Mothes weep for your daughters, Fathers for your sons
For all are dull, and none will hear
he is coming, and he will snare
You will be caught, and will cry, but who will help?
See, I have told you.


Now that may have been just for my church, but I was racked with tears, and weeped uncontrollably as the Lord spoke through me. This is a first for me, and I kept wondering why didn't the people who JUST prayed this awesome prayer of revival and confession HEAR and respond? It was like I could feel them watching, some hanging around (like you watch a street performer), pretending to talk to each other about something else, but listening. But they didn't respond. It was like a barrier. They couldn't understand.

I felt really sad when I walked out a few minutes later...how do you ask for the Holy Spirit to show up, and then when He does, you pretend he's not there, or do not recognize.

I feel honored that the Lord chose to use me, but not happy about the lack of response. And on Pentecost Sunday at that!

God Help us.

Maranatha!

Hi Monique,

Maybe they do not know what they are asking for or maybe they are not really asking.

You know like this verse:
Luke 14:15 And when one of those who sat at meat with Him heard these things, he said unto Him, "Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the Kingdom of God."

The Lord told him that alot of people will be so preoccupied with their own life that they will make excuses.

God Bless

To Betterjm

My friend, you gave a message in tongues, then you gave the interpretation of those tongues.

It would seem like the people in your church are not use to this, and they do not know what to make of it. But keep on being obedient to the Holy Spirit.

Hi Monique
Last month I believe that Spirit of the Lord wanted my church and together from men, to the women, and the children to gather at the alter of our church and come clean in areas that are not right with the Lord and I wanted to do everything in decent and in and order so I took to my pastor and told what I believe the Lord spoke in the word from Joel 2:11-17, well leadership did do anything with it so what you do when you know that the Lord has spoken and it is not acted upon if you are called to that church you are going to have to intercede for that church that eyes of their understanding be enlightened by the Holy Ghost. Because many of the Lord's sheep have conditioned by pastors to see things from their eyes, their understanding, ways, and if you have read and these prophecies that the Lord has given His servant you are going to a church of man. Last month the Lord Holy Spirit had opened my spiritural eyes that I am attending is a church of man that is why it is so much unbelief and laziness in the church. That is people in church didn't respond most of the prophesying or word that is giving has to be done according to man's rules regulations in church on How the Lord can speak to His on people. Obey the Lord and dont seeds of doubt set in your heart like I did because people are seeing reconizing the times and seasons.

Good Morning Carlos,

It's funny that you should say that. My husaband and I did not come to the church on our own. In fact, we were going to a different church in 2004. Actually, my husband went there a year before to visit one day by himself and joined the church! I was really angry, but I didn't want to be spilt up from him, so I went. I never got a good feeling from the church, and my kids didn't like going there. When we began, the pastor was a bishop....then one day with a lot of fanfare he was introduced as Apostle, an insisted on everyone calling him that. I really didn't know much about that, because even then I was not reading my bible; but I didn't think anything postive, I can tell you that! I always had an unsettling feeling about the whole thing.


Fast forward to July, 2004

I was apprehended by the Holy Spirit, and for the first time, REALLY confessed my sins and was saved. Soon after, (I am not sure the exact day) I had a dream about the pastor/apostle and my husband were in his office. At first, he was very nice, and invited us in. Then as I began to tell him that we were not coming back, he began to get angry, bothered. the more I spoke, the angrier he became, an go all red in the face, and started screaming at me and cursing. I couldn't believe my ears!

Then I began to speak scripture and he absolutely went nuts, and started foaming at the mouth and I looked quickly at my husband and he head was to the side (I don't know if he was he was hurt, or he was sleeping) but an elder (the only other person in the room) was standing behind the chair just watching...and then there were people at the door (now it was closed and locked, I assume) and they were banging and asking "what's going on?" I began t speak more boldly in the name of Jesus to the pastor and hew leaped on my like a rabid dog and started choking me.....
Then I woke up.

Well, I knew I was not going back there! My husband still went for a few weeks, but then said he started to see some things at church that made him think I might be right. So we started visitng another church. It was great! Everyone was so nice and friendly, but one day after service my husband asked the pastor about baptism. While I was sitting too far to hear the response, I noticed the demeanor of the pastor was different. He was short with him, like he didin't want to be bothered. Then I noticed, no one was looking...

That was enough for me, but my husband said I was being ridiculous. The next Sunday, we were getting ready to go to church, but I didn't want to go there. Anyway, we prayed and asked to Lord to send us to the church we were supposed to go to. Driving down the road, we came toa place where we had to turn either left for the church I just mentioned, or another church on the right. As we sat at the light, the Lord spoke to me and said "my favor is on the right." We went and have been there ever since.
We have ahd other confirming things to tell us we did the right thing. The sad part, is the church we are now (Where the Lord gave me the warning) in had a split several years ago... and many of the people who left went to the other church we were visiting!

I know that was a long story, but I said all of that to say that I KNOW there are people who are still there that are not doing any good and are hindering the ones who are truly searching after a relationship with God. There has been tremendous change in the church since we started in August 2004, and while I know it wasn't because of me, I would like to think the Holy Spirit is using my family as a light in the darkness

Maranatha!

Yes Carlos,

You are seeing it clearly.

Virtually all of the organized churches are the churches of man, teaching the doctrines of man. They have set their rules, and woe to you if you try to tell them that what they are doing is not biblical. Just as Jesus told the Pharisees that they were not teaching God's words and ways, but were teaching their own man made ways. And Jesus gave them a warning to change or else, when Jesus pronounced a WOE upon them.
    Matthew 23:15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.

Yes, there are exceptions, but they are small and few. There are fewer each year that truly follows and preaches the True word of Jesus Christ.

We indeed do need to pray for all the people within these churches, that the Lord God will open their eyes.

When the Lord sends us to a pastor with a message, and the pastor ignores the message, then that pastor will be held responsible before the Lord God on Judgment day. You have obeyed the Lord, and have carried out the job the Lord gave you to do at that time. From then on, it is between that pastor and God. And the Lord God will bless you for carrying the message that He gave you to carry.

My Friend, Hell is full of Pastors, and ministers of all denominations. Unfortunately, those Pastors and ministers usually bring their congregations to hell with them.
    Raymond's Vision #729 Then the next vision was of a high wall with an arch doorway with a closed iron bar gate. On the inside of the closed gate there were people reaching through the bars trying to squeeze through to the outside of the gate. And on the outside of the gate Jesus Christ was standing there with His Arms extended toward the people, but the people couldn't get to Him because of the closed iron bars that enclosed the passage way. Then the Lord said, "The closed iron gates with the bars is the Christian church. They are stopping My People from reaching Me with their rules and regulations. As I looked, I saw one or two people squeeze through the bars. You could see the hunger of all the people that were desperately trying to reach the Lord, and couldn't because of this iron gate."

May the Lord continue to use you in a mighty way.

One day, I was watching an evagelism program on t.v. 5 years, 11 months ago #2539

and it is this pastor who helps kids all over the world who have no one to help them on channel 38.

So, one day I he wrote this book called, "Knowing God as Father" and there was this burning in my heart to call and have the book sent to me. I haven;t had that feeling accept when giving my life over to God but has anyone ever had the burning feeling to do something?

Yes, I have. It has been something that I cannot shake from my mind. I go to bed with it, wake up with it. Be encouraged.
