Men of God a rant of sorts

Post by LJ Gibbs »

Please don't take this personally. But during my prayer time this is a chewing out that I needed and feel led to share. Mainly for males.

Man up men of God! Brace yourselves for whats coming! You do nothing but murmur and say that you will one day do things in my name?! Today is that day! You have been set up to lead in the church! All you'd have to do is follow me and yet you lust after everything this world offers! Your God is calling your bluff! Turn from your sins and repent, Tear your hearts and not your garments in grief! Behold I am going to use this generation of men for my special purpose at this time! Man Up those of you who bear my name. Do you leave in a society of lust and emasculated men? Then fight as I have taught you. Using prayer and all the power and authority of heaven that I granted to my Son who died and lives forever more. He then granted it to you through the power of the Holy Spirit. Nothing need you fear. I am going to raise this generation up as the army that Joel saw! You should be going straight to the gates of hell kicking them down and snatching those who do not know me from the fire! Lucifer the accuser has set up his strongholds in high places on this earth. You are Warriors for this reason! You are commanded to remove them through prayer and holy worship. These are your tools of warfare and I am with you! Man up men of God! Repent with your hearts torn before me! Fight my warriors and you shall not loose the battle! I have gone ahead! My Son is Alive and not even Satan him self can touch you! For the fire that burns within you is Holy and purified. It burns so much hotter and brighter then the fires of hell that once you have lit it with a life of repentance and obedience; The largest demons will be burnt to a crisp just by your prayers! Man up Men of God!

Sounds good and everything; but exactly what is God's special purpose at this time that such grand words are used to exhort us to lead in the church towards??

Who are you to judge how to the way we all look inside our parents?

LJ, your writing reminds me of the upcoming Christian movie Courageous (trailer). At the end of the trailer, the pastor ask, "So where are you, men of courage? I believe every father should step up, and answer the call! To say, 'I will! I will!'" The movie is more about fatherhood, but church leadership isn't too far away.

I've never been able to make head or tell of a sonogram, so I guess I'm not much of anyone to judge how we all look inside our parents.

Sorry if I seemed to assert that I could. :-k

Its not so much us leading them to anything. To put it plainly. We just need to live our lives following Jesus. When we're right in our walk with God then whether we realize it or not there is others watching and following. His special purpose for any generation fully is that as a whole they would seek his face and live; lives that glorify him. I am no where near perfect in any way shape or form so please don't take this as me personally saying that everyones doing everything wrong. But I fully believe that an awakening in the body of Christ is coming. And when God made man he put him in charge. All we have to do is follow Jesus living for him. And then Gods purpose for any generation is fulfilled.
