Tell it like it is!

Hosea 10:12-13 Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow
ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain righteousness upon you. Ye
have plowed [concealed] wickedness, ye have reaped [harvested] iniquity; ye have eaten
the fruit of lies: because thou didst trust in thy way, in the multitude of thy mighty men.

As I was reading in the book of Hosea I realized that it is time for Gods people to
get busy. The Church has been slothful in the things that we should have been doing. It
has become more like a country club than the Church of the living God. The gospel has
been put on the back burner and the perfecting of the Saints has almost become non
existent.
The Church has made an issue out of becoming politically correct. It does not call
sin what it is anymore. It tries to find a term that is politically correct. White is not white
anymore and black is not black. I am not referring to color or race. I am talking about
calling things what they really are. There is no in between, it is either black or white.

How many times recently have you heard about Pastors, Evangelists, men and
women of God being caught in sin? Adultery among Gods ministers, as well as church
members is at an alarming rate. Well it is at an alarming rate according to me. I would
think that since it is one of the ten “Thou shalt nots” that one incident of adultery among
Gods’ people would be too many. Not to mention that fornication and other sins have
been accepted in the Church and have not been addressed as sin. In times past sin in the
lives of Christians, was a disqualification for being one.

Like Hosea said; you have plowed wickedness and reaped iniquity, you have
eaten the fruit of “lies” because you have trusted in your way. White is not white
anymore and black is not black; you call it like “you” see it or like you “want” to see it.
For some reason the Church has been blinded. God’s ministers have been blinded and
they have not been able to hear God. Maybe this will explain it.

2 Timothy 4:3-4 For the time will come when they will not endure sound
doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching
ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

I believe that this time is now upon us. There are so many false doctrines out there
now. It seems like people will believe anything that they hear, especially those things that
make then feel better about the way that they are living. People think that putting the
word Christian in front of any word will make it be all right. Sorry folks that is not how it
works.

You are either saved, sanctified, and filled with Gods’ Spirit or you are lost, dirty
and full of the devil. You cannot have God living in you and live like the devil. It is and
always has been “hot or cold”. There will never be any lukewarm, fence sitters, who
make it. This is what Jesus said…..
 Revelation 3:14-22 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write;
These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation
of God; I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or
hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of
my mouth. Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of
nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and
naked: I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and
white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not
appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. As many as I love, I
rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. Behold, I stand at the door, and
knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup
with him, and he with me. To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my
throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. He that
hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

Can you see what “we”, the Church, need to be doing? We need to be preaching
the truth, not some watered down half truth. We have to preach the word of God just like
it is; no adding to or taking away from it. It is time to plow up the fallow ground and it is
time to seek the Lord.

Those who are now being deceived will be lost forever if they do not come to the
knowledge of the truth and begin to hear Gods’ voice. I am talking about the Church
being deceived. If the church is deceived then where does that leave the world?

If you are reading this and you are a minister of the Lord Jesus Christ I ask you to
take the time to make sure that what you are preaching is the true gospel. That you make
sure you have not added to or taken away from the word of God so that you can please
men. Make sure that the doctrine you preach and teach is lining up with Gods’ word so
that you won’t be held accountable for leading people astray.

Times are about to get really exciting and we need to make sure that we can help
those who need it. There will be some signs and wonders like we have never seen before.
There will be some times like Elijah and other prophets saw.

The time has come to call sin what it is and stop compromising Gods’ word.
