RECOGNIZING the DAY of the LORD
By Alan J Neniskis
O if God’s people could only recognize the implications of the Day of the LORD, and of His glory coming to abide in His Temple!
Gone would be the entertainment and the gimmicks that are used today to try to bring people to Jesus!
Satan fears nothing when he sees the people of God going forth TO BATTLE with carnal weapons… musical groups doing their thing to the applause of large audiences… rock musicians skillfully using the art of Satan all nicely cloaked with words about Jesus and Heaven and the Bible… drama troupes coming forth from missionary training centers with a cast depicting God and Jesus and the Devil on the same platform, trying to trick people into hearing the gospel… puppet ministries acting out the gospel with little puppet monkeys or puppet devils, and the like… magicians showing their illusionary tricks to the applause of an audience that some “church” group hired to trap people into hearing the “gospel.”
I know of one instance where a young boy in a Sunday school class had to be delivered from the oppression of spirits, after he had watched the clever manipulations of a “puppet-ministry” in a Sunday school class. And all this–not in some old, dead apostate church, but in large charismatic churches where people love to praise and worship and sing in the Spirit and dance before the Lord!
O Lord, how can these–and even greater abominations than these, come into your temple, and the people of God who know and have experienced your blessings, and have spiritual gifts functioning in their midst–sit in the congregation and applaud and laugh, and think they are promoting the work of the Lord?
The Day of the LORD is at hand, the day of His glory, and “eyes like a flame of fire” are going to consume the dross from the silver pot of God’s refining flame.
God says that His judgments must first begin at the house of God. We anticipate the day of His glory. But even as we do, let us humble ourselves now in His presence lest His light shine upon us suddenly, and we be found naked.
For He says to you and me and God’s people everywhere who have known His workings in times past… “Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent” (Rev. 2:5).
