“We will not hide them from their children, shewing to the generation to come the praises of the Lord, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done…That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments.” Psalm 78
Oh, the Glory! Can any of you out there remember what it was like to feel the outpouring of the Holy Ghost filling up services with His Shekinah Glory? Do you remember when God came down, and hearts were overwhelmed, and praises poured out from hearts that were open? When souls were filled to overflowing and the Spirit of God flowed like anointing oil through our streets? Souls were saved, people were healed, and multitudes were drawn to the fountain of life pouring out from the Throne.
Those who remember, they know what I’m talking about.
Where has it gone? What happened to the great moves of God in our churches? Those who should have passed on the glory have instead given us over to man-made doctrines, to secular preaching, and to churches that have lost their vibrancy. Depths in God have been turned over to educated preachers who know so much theology about God that they no longer know what it’s like to be led of the Spirit. If that is not so, then where is the manifestation of the Power of God?
The Kingdom of God is not in word, but in power. But our churches have turned the Gospel of Jesus Christ into just another religion. Lost souls that are desperate for God have looked upon us as another philosophy; another dead religion with no power, no Spirit, and no glory.
Their cry is “Sir, we would see Jesus!” Give us the demonstration of the Spirit and power. Let Holy Ghost conviction open our hearts to return to that place in God that we once had. Church “as usual” is death. We need Life! And that can only come from men of God who are not afraid to take a stand for righteousness and for the fear of God. Men that are willing to walk the walk of the lowly Nazarene and allow their lives to be filled with the power of God instead of theology.
The indictment stands against those who remember, and who did not pass it on.
