We have got to lay our lives down for the purposes of
God. This is not a Sunday school picnic for the church of
Jesus Christ; this is not an invitation to have continuous
good times. This is a war for the souls of men.
Come out from among them. Run for your life. Because this
is about your life. This is not just about an opposing
viewpoint or conflicting theology; this is about your life.
My mind is forever branded with the stories I heard of
police officers from the city of New York. As people were
fleeing from a crumbling building, there were police
officers and firemen and others that were running toward the
building saying, “Run for your life!” At their own peril and
in some cases I think they knew they were going to die, but
there was a sense of duty.
I was crying out to God, “Oh God, Jesus, don’t let my
sense of duty be any less for Your Kingdom then these
beloved firemen and policemen were for those that were
perishing from a falling tower.”
We are living in a generation when truth is falling into
the streets. I want to be among those that are not running
away from the conflict but are running toward into conflict
saying, “Run for your life”.
Run from Gospels that focus only on success and
prosperity, run.
Run from those that use the name of Christ only for
personal gain,
Run from those that are picking your pocket in the name
of Jesus, run!
Run from Gospels that only focus on self-improvement,
run!
Run from churches where men and not Christ are glorified,
Run!
Run body of Christ run. Get out! Don’t touch the unclean
thing.
Run from churches where there is no Bible, there’s no
cost in its theology, no soul searching Word, there’s no
repentance from sin, there’s no mention of the blood of
Jesus, Run! It’s unclean, run.
Run from churches where you’re comfortable in your sins.
If you come into the house of God and you’ve got sin in your
life and you’re not convicted of it, you’re at a table of
devils. Run from pulpits that are filled with political men
who are using the pulpit of God for a personal, political
agenda. Run!
Run from those that preach division between races and
cultures, run!
Run get out, turn it off, get away from it. They know
nothing of God.
Run from ungodly, spasmodic movements and aimless empty
prophesying; beloved church run for your life.
Run from preachers that stand and tell stories and jokes;
run like you’ve never run before. Run! Run! Run!
