THE NAPAL EARTHQUAKE: THREE CHOICES: COLD, LUKEWARM OR HOT!

Beloved's of the Lord,

The time has come to choose what life we are going to live for Christ. We have 3 choices, Cold, Hot or lukewarm. Two out of three of those choices are the wrong choices but many will choose cold and lukewarm in this nation.

A divine alignment of God's Kingdom has come upon the Earth. I believe the earthquake in Napal is another warning sign to us but more. It was an event that changed things in Kingdom reality. A new paradigm of God's kingdom has come upon the Earth that is going to now bring a quicker separation of the sheep from the goats, the wheat from the chaff.

This is going to be seen by the choices individuals will make, families will make, communities will make, states will make, nations will make. God is now weighing things according to the fullness of time and cleansing judgments are coming to purge away everything that is not of His kingdom.

Are we ready for that which is about to come? 

Matthew 24:1-13 speaks of the love of the "great body" growing cold.

⁴ Jesus answered them, Be careful that no one misleads you [deceiving you and leading you into error].⁵ For many will come in (on the strength of) My name [^[b]appropriating the name which belongs to Me], saying, I am the Christ (the Messiah), and they will lead many astray.
 

⁶ And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars; see that you are not frightened or troubled, for this must take place, but the end is not yet.⁷ For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in place after place;

 

⁸ All this is but the beginning [the early pains] of the ^[c]birth pangs [of the ^[d]intolerable anguish].

⁹ Then they will hand you over to suffer affliction and tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake.

¹⁰ And then many will be offended and repelled and will ^[e]begin to distrust and desert [Him Whom they ought to trust and obey] and will stumble and fall away and betray one another and pursue one another with hatred.

¹¹ And many false prophets will rise up and deceive and lead many into error.

¹² And the love of ^[f]the great body of people will grow cold because of the multiplied lawlessness and iniquity,

¹³ But he who endures to the end will be saved.

Beloved, we have turned a page in history, A new hour is beginning on the earth. We only have about 40 minutes left of spiritual time to get ready for the hour of testing comes upon the Earth. Whose side will we be on?

The book of Revelation chapter 2 and 3 warns us of what is needed to change in change in the House of God upon the Earth and asks one thing of us: OVERCOME! OR ELSE!

  

Beloved, listen to the warnings Jesus gives us as He stands in the Parousia (his presencing in our midst) with feet like hot burning brass to purify us like Gold and Silver. 

  

I am only going to highlight the warnings so we can see that it is now time to choose whose side are we really on? We must repent of our sin, for our lukewarmness and coldness to God in this nation or will have to face the great trials coming and many will not be able to stand in them. 

Revelation 2: To the church at Ephesus:

⁴ But I have this [one charge to make] against you: that you have left (abandoned) the love that you had at first [you have deserted Me, your first love].

⁵ Remember then from what heights you have fallen. Repent (change the inner man to meet God’s will) and do the works you did previously [when first you knew the Lord], or else I will visit you and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you change your mind and repent. 

(That candlestick is a symbol of His presence. Do we want that removed from our life if we don't repent and go back to our first love?)

To the church at Pergamum:

⁴ Nevertheless, I have a few things against you: you have some people there who are clinging to the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to set a trap and a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, [to entice them] to eat food that had been sacrificed to idols and to practice lewdness [giving themselves up to sexual vice].

 

¹⁵ You also have some who in a similar way are clinging to the teaching of the Nicolaitans [those corrupters of the people] which thing I hate.

¹⁶ Repent [then]! Or else I will come to you quickly and fight against them with the sword of My mouth. 

Does this sound like Jesus is happy with our spiritual condition? Don't you see beloved, the sin in the camp is growing harder and harder each day in this nation. 

We are becoming colder and colder to God and His ways. The lukewarmness in God's people is being accepted as normal Christian life when it is sin and God is ready to spew it out of His mouth. 

Even with all we are seeing in the world happening and even in our own nation on the news, we go on like it is business as usual in the church. "lets just reach the lost and do nice ministry work" all the while Rome is burning all around us!" 

We should reach the lost of course, but if we don't repent of the sin of pride in the house of God and our turning our back on our first love are we bringing them into a "burning house that is going to judged by the Lord?" Judgment begins in the House of GOD! Beloved,  who will be able to endure to the end? 

To the church at Thyatira:

¹⁹ I know your record and what you are doing, your love and faith and service and patient endurance, and that your recent works are more numerous and greater than your first ones.

²⁰ But I have this against you: that you tolerate the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess [claiming to be inspired], and who is teaching and leading astray my servants and beguiling them into practicing sexual vice and eating food sacrificed to idols.

²¹ I gave her time to repent, but she has no desire to repent of her immorality [symbolic of idolatry] and refuses to do so.

²² Take note: I will throw her on a bed [^[a]of anguish], and those who commit adultery with her [her paramours] I will bring down to ^[b]pressing distress and severe affliction, unless they turn away their minds from conduct [such as] hers and repent of ^[c]their doings.

²³ And I will strike her children (her proper followers) dead [thoroughly exterminating them].

And all the assemblies (churches) shall recognize and understand that I am He Who searches minds (the thoughts, feelings, and purposes) and the [inmost] hearts, and I will give to each of you [the reward for what you have done] as your work deserves.

²⁴ But to the rest of you in Thyatira, who do not hold this teaching, who have not explored and known the depths of Satan, as they say—I tell you that I do not lay upon you any other [fresh] burden:

²⁵ Only hold fast to what you have until I come.

This Jezebel voice is seducing the American Gospel into a "bless me club!" The message is God loves you, you just have to think happy things, you just have to believe God has his best for you. God is going to bless you and send revival to our nation." You are King's kids. 

There is nothing wrong with you. Jesus blood has covered you so you can live your life just like you did before but put some religious polish on. Stop doing the bad things, but the good you want to do to please yourself go ahead. Live for today, live for your moment."

This is the voice of the false Gospel, false prophets, and false ministers being preached in our nation. A Gospel of false grace that can live an unholy life before a Holy God! It is a gospel based upon your own goodness and our own power to go ahead and do what we want even in the name of God and does not acknowledge sin or the true Holiness of God.

This false gospel message wants to serve God in its own "ideas and thoughts of what is pleasing to God or not" without the power of the Holy Spirit conviction in our lives to truly serve God as He desires. 

This false American Gospel says, "worship is not for God, God made it for you, so you can enjoy Him!" Really? Is not the commandment you shall "worship the Lord your God and Him only shall you serve?"

The warnings found in Revelation chapters 2 and 3 are the entire warnings to the church at the end of the age we are now at. We need to give ear to listen to them and repent if we are not living fully for the will of God. 

We are standing in two prophetic days, the end of the church age (2nd day) and the beginning of the (3rd day) Kingdom age and coming rule of Jesus Christ for 1000 years. The choices we are making now are critical what side of the cleansing judgments we will be on.

To the church at Sardis:

And to the angel (messenger) of the assembly (church) in Sardis write: These are the words of Him Who has the seven Spirits of God [^[a]the sevenfold Holy Spirit] and the seven stars: 

 I know your record and what you are doing; you are supposed to be alive, but [in reality] you are dead.

 

² Rouse yourselves and keep awake, and strengthen and invigorate what remains and is on the point of dying; 

for I have not found a thing that you have done [any work of yours] meeting the requirements of My God or perfect in His sight.

³ So call to mind the lessons you received and heard; continually lay them to heart and obey them, and repent. In case you will not rouse yourselves and keep awake and watch, I will come upon you like a thief, and you will not know or suspect at what hour I will come.

⁴ Yet you still have a few [persons’] names in Sardis who have not soiled their clothes, and they shall walk with Me in white, because they are worthy and deserving.

Beloved's listen to the clarion call of God that has come to us. A deep acclerated separation has now begun between the wheat and the chaff, darkness and light, and the sheep and the goats. 

This last earthquake was more than just an event, it was a prophetic sign of a "new alignment" from God that is now coming upon the Earth. 

What will you do now?  It is time to choose what kind of Christian life we are going to live. Will it bee on of a cold living a dead religious life as in Sardis or a lukewarm life found in Laodecia?  Or will be the on fire for God Philadelphia church God will keep safe in the hour to come? 

Do you want to make it into heaven by just escaping the fire? Do you want to be spewed out of his mouth?  Do you want to trust in a false American Gospel that offers you all of God without his holiness so you can live life as you please?

Or Do you want the real Gospel where you truly die to self, pick up your cross and follow Jesus? Beloved when you accepted Jesus as your savior, did old things pass away in your life and all things become new? 

Or are you living a "better life" not doing so many bad things, but still living for your own plans and purposes and not Christ's? Or are you a Bride being made ready for Jesus, or full grown sons being led by the Spirit of God?

To the church in Laodecia:

And to the angel (messenger) of the assembly (church) in Laodicea write: These are the words of the Amen, the trusty and faithful and true Witness, the Origin and Beginning and Author of God’s creation:

 

¹⁵ I know your [record of] works and what you are doing; you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were cold or hot!

¹⁶ So, because you are lukewarm and neither cold nor hot, I will spew you out of My mouth!

¹⁷ For you say, I am rich; I have prospered and grown wealthy, and I am in need of nothing; and you do not realize and understand that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked. 

So Beloved, are we to stay the same living this live we are now living as we live the American Dream Life Church" here in America? Do we see the need for the church in this nation to be on our knees crying out for our sins against God as his people? 

Do we see our real spiritual condition? A wake up call has come. Just as easily as the Lord shook the nation of Napal, God can do that with his church in America?

We are blaming the government, the politicians, when in truth it is our sin and falling away from God that has allowed this nation to become a godless nation because we are living a "religious life" dead in reality to God.  

We ourselves are believing the lie that we are own gods that can do whatever we want with our lives and not becoming true disciples of the Lord.

Beloved, should we keep reaching the lost to add them to our dead, Holy Spiritless churches! Let's make them come into our "seeker friendly churches. 

Let them come to our new"Walmart mega and sattalite churches, or even home group meetings" that are one stop shopping for your family needs to be met and happy? I am not trying to be critical but to wake us up to what God is seeking for us to be, a bride without wrinkle or spot!

Beloved are we to keep God's people dependent upon men, and sucking their life from the other branches instead of abiding in the vine? Should we just keep God's people in a state of "numbness" by not preaching against the sin in the House of God?

Saints of God we can not pretend everything is OK. We can not except marriage outside of God's boundaries. We can't except it is OK for men and women to live together before marriage, and our teenagers can have sex before marriage? Should we not open our mouths and say nothing about it. 

Should we continue to  keep fellowshiping with the worlds ways of doing things and bring the worldly things into the House of God? Is it correct that we  continue to make our own golden calf and call it Jesus and worship the image we have made of him. Beloved, yet we believe we are OK with God!

We have said to God in this nation, WE ARE RICH AND IN NEED OF NOTHING! Yet we are POOR, BLIND, AND NAKED!

Beloved, I have no pleasure in writing these things about our spiritual condition in this nation, but it is the truth and we need to choose now whose side are we on. 

Are we going to keep part of our lives for ourselves and live for what we want to do? Or will we become living sacrifices to God for his Kingdom purposes on Earth as it is Heaven. 

There is a remnant of Kingdom people on this Earth that are hearing this word, repenting and have turned back to their first love. There is an overcoming people arising on the Earth as full grown sons and daughters on the Earth. 

They will be kept safe in the hour that is now approaching us upon the Earth. They are sold out to Christ, on fire for Him, filled with the pure holy love of God burning in them. They will be the "leaders that God has chosen" to help bring His kingdom to be established upon the Earth. 

They are found in the church at Philadelphia: 

⁷ And to the angel (messenger) of the assembly (church) in Philadelphia write: These are the words of the Holy One, the True One, He Who has the key of David, Who opens and no one shall shut, Who shuts and no one shall open:

⁸ I know your [record of] works and what you are doing. See! I have set before you a door wide open which no one is able to shut; I know that you have but little power, and yet you have kept My Word and guarded My message and have not renounced or denied My name.

⁹ Take note! I will make those of the synagogue of Satan who say they are Jews and are not, but lie—behold, I will make them come and bow down before your feet and learn and acknowledge that I have loved you.

¹⁰ Because you have guarded and kept My word of patient endurance [have held fast the ^[b]lesson of My patience with the ^[c]expectant endurance that I give you], I also will keep you [safe] from the hour of trial (testing) which is coming on the whole world to try those who dwell upon the earth.

¹¹ I am coming quickly; hold fast what you have, so that no one may rob you and deprive you of your crown.

¹² He who overcomes (is victorious), I will make him a pillar in the sanctuary of My God; he shall never be put out of it or go out of it, and I will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the new Jerusalem, which descends from My God out of heaven, and My own new name. 

Beloved, the cleansing judgments of God are coming upon the Earth, to the lukewarm and cold Revelation 2 and 3 cleansing judgments are not good. He tell us of what will happen to those Christians if they don't repent now and choose the Lord fully with their entire life.

To the remnant who will repent and will return to their first love, and will put away the sin that is found in Revelation 2 and 3, a new power of the Holy Spirit of love will fill them to ready them to be the instruments God. Instruments God will use to release those judgments and demonstrate the Glory of God filling His remnant people and temple on the Earth. 

Here is what Jesus says the remnant that overcome will receive when those same cleansing judgments come upon the Earth and they take their part in them.

Beloved, They will have power to rule the nations. They will execute the judgments written as found in Psalm 149. 

They will rule and reign with him sitting down next to him as he sits next to the Father. They will be pillars in the temple of God. They will eat the hidden manna. They will have a new name. 

The will not be injured by the second death. They will receive the crown of life. They will get a white stone with a new name on it.  

They will get power and authority over the nations. They will get white garments and their names won't be blotted out of the Lamb's book of life. 

Jesus will acknowledge them as his own, and declare them before the Father. He will keep them safe from the hour of testing coming upon the world. 

Jesus will make them a pillar in the sanctuary of My God; they shall never be put out of it or go out of it.

Jesus will write on them the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the new Jerusalem, which descends from My God out of heaven, and My own new name.

 He who overcomes (is victorious), I will grant him to sit beside Me on My throne, as I Myself overcame (was victorious) and sat down beside My Father on His throne. 

Beloved's of the Lord, we are at a crossroads moment. A divine paradigm shift has just begin. There are even more coming as events unfold upon the Earth. 

The earthquake in Napal was a sign from God of a greater separation of the wheat from the chaff. An acceleration has begun of the removal of that which is not God and His Kingdom from that which is of God and His kingdom. 

A divine choice is at our door. Will we be wheat of chaff, sheep or goat, light or dark? The choice is first starting within each heart of those calling themselves believers in Christ. 

Each person will have a decision to make now to remain cold or lukewarm and continue to live business as usual lives of the American Dream church in our nation. Each will have a choice or turn to God fully, repent of our coldness and lukewarmness and then get hot on fire for God or not?
  
Then that choice will spread acceleratingly by the Spirit of God to be within families, then churches, then communities, then states, then nations and then the whole world. A plumb line has been drawn. The hour has come by God to bring forth an accelerated separation. 

Ezekiel 44 tells us of this separation:  

Then the man [an angel] brought me back the way of the outer gate of the sanctuary which faces the east, and it was shut.
 

² Then the Lord said to me, This gate shall be ^[a]shut; it shall not be opened and no man shall enter in by it, for the Lord, the God of Israel, has entered in by it; therefore it shall remain shut.

³ As for the prince, being the prince, he shall sit in it to eat bread before the Lord; he shall enter by way of the porch or vestibule of the gate and shall go out the same way.

⁴ Then he brought me by way of the north gate to the front of the temple; I looked, and behold, the glory of the Lord filled the house of the Lord, and I fell upon my face.

⁵ And the Lord said to me, Son of man, mark well and set your heart to see with your eyes and hear with your ears all that I say to you concerning all the ordinances of the house of the Lord and all its laws, and mark well and set your heart to know who are allowed to enter the temple and all those who are excluded from the sanctuary. 

Matthew 7:21-23

²¹ “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven,  but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter!(Do you see the condition people of God?)

²² Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many ^[a]miracles?’  

²³ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness.’ 

Beloved this is the most serious time in our lives. It is time to stand up with Joshua of old and say, "As for me and my house we shall serve the Lord fully!" 

Beloved none of us our safe if we choose to live a "cold dead religious life" of going to church, doing our ministry, paying our tithes, and then keeping the rest of our lives for ourselves and be indifferent to the work of the Holy Spirit. 

None of us our safe if we are lukewarm loving the things of the world as much as the things of God. James tells us "to be a friend of this world is to be an enemy of God."  He warn us with these words in chapter 4:

What leads to strife (discord and feuds) and how do conflicts (quarrels and fightings) originate among you? Do they not arise from your sensual desires that are ever warring in your bodily members?
 

² You are jealous and covet [what others have] and your desires go unfulfilled; [so] you become murderers. [To hate is to murder as far as your hearts are concerned.] You burn with envy and anger and are not able to obtain [the gratification, the contentment, and the happiness that you seek], so you fight and war. You do not have, because you do not ask.

³ [Or] you do ask [God for them] and yet fail to receive, because you ask with wrong purpose and evil, selfish motives. Your intention is [when you get what you desire] to spend it in sensual pleasures.

⁴ You [are like] unfaithful wives [having illicit love affairs with the world and breaking your marriage vow to God]! 

Do you not know that being the world’s friend is being God’s enemy? So whoever chooses to be a friend of the world takes his stand as an enemy of God. 

Ask the Holy Spirit where you are in your walk with God today? Are you cold, lukewarm or hot on fire for God living only to do his will on the Earth or not? If not, you have time to repent and change, but not much time to do so.

The hour to choose is here. Cold, Lukewarm or Hot?  God is unfolding the time line of events. Each event has a warning and a call in it us to come now all things are now ready. Will you come to the Lord fully  now? I pray we all find ourselves in the company of Joshua and Caleb and we posses the Kingdom of God on Earth as it is Heaven. Selah!
