    Very true. God actually told me I could leave the church. I have gone back a few times to other churches, but was just broken in my spirit by the ”new worship” songs, number of people on stage, etc. I know other believers who are growing and glowing with His love, who do not belong to a church or have been pushed out because of God’s calling on their lives. My own daughter was expelled from three different youth groups for asking the hard questions such as ”If you believe that you will go to heaven when you die, why are you afraid of death?” pointing out the gap between what they really believe and what they are saying. Just recently Rom. 8:28 occurred for this situation. She was talking with some other college students and mentioned that she was a Christian. They froze in horror, as one person was transgender, until my daughter said, but I am not like the others, I have been kicked out of three churches. The discussion then continued, and still does. They are seeing that Christians can be loving, caring friends, which will change their views of Christ which they formed from dealing with the others.

  2. I agree with you 100%. I want to see Christians return to loving God and preacher preaching right out of the Word and those who are filled with the Holy Spirit. I grew up in a church where it looked like the roof would fall in at any time. It wasn’t a very pretty church, in fact it was in an old farmhouse. But I have to tell you the spirit of God was alive in that church. We came there to worship God, not to see what the building looked like. We came to open our hearts to sing the praises of God with good old fashion hymns and Holy Spirit filled preaching. I believe the churches need to go b ack to that way of having church. Simple and basic. How can you really know who God is if you don’t spend time reading His Word and studying it? Churches have tried to entertain for way too long and it’s not working.

  3. Indeed church need to go back to God in total repentance.

  4. I too am greatly influenced by the Charismatic Movement of the 1980’s and 90’s. I was fortunate to go attend services lead by John Wimber (Vineyard). What I experienced blew me away. I arrived early so I could get a seat. I would watch people come in, some on crutches, some in wheelchairs, some being led in. During worship, which was intensely focused on praise and glorifying God, the Spirit would move and miracles would happen, people would be healed. John rarely brought attention to what was happening other than say, “The Holy Spirit is here and healing is happening.” and we would continue to worship. Sometimes John would stop teaching and pause. He would say something like God is doing something now, Let’s worship.

    I often watched people leave. People would be carrying crutches, pushing wheelchairs, dancing with joy.

    I HUNGER for the same movement of the Spirit in the Church of today. I have yet to find it.

    The church must wake up . The body and leadership must examine their relationship with our Lord and Savior. We must repent of the sin of denying who God really is.

  5. Thank you for this post. I have wavered between rejecting yoga and telling myself that it was ok since I wasn’t “worshipping another god.” I have not done yoga in quite a while, but had not definitely ruled it out. The mark of Cain is on so many professing Christians today, believing they can worhsip God as they please. I pray for the Church. I see good things coming from the pandemic and from the election in the way of Christian response, but there are so many false teachers who are influenced by the lies of Satan and lead others astray. Thank you for speaking the Truth!

    God bless you ma’am for this powerful exposition of truth. I always wonder why a lot of bad things happens and is still happening in my generation… But a sudden realization dawned on me that we have left the One True Ancient Path that leads to Life. We’ve embraced doctrines that are laced with deceptions and are tossed to and fro with diverse teachings… Teachings are no longer centered on Christ crucified but on self and vain philosophy… Some days back the Spirit of God reminded me that all Jesus came to do was to show us the way to the Father and He Himself was and still is the Way. He came to communicate to us the patterns of true fellowship and followership… I want a generation that is all about Jesus the Christ. Thank you very much ma’am. Please how can I connect with you ma’am.
