Series 2.3.02 - #62

 

March 2, 2004

God's hand is not shortened that it cannot save, neither is his ear heavy that it cannot hear. The iniquities of the people have separated between them and their God. Their sins have hidden his face from them, and he will not hear them. I will go and preach repentance. The fruit of salvation will remain far from them, and their transgressions will continue to multiply unless they repent. Evil hearts of unbelief have caused God's people to depart from him. Truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter into their lives. I will go and preach the true gospel about the man Christ Jesus, his arm, who brought salvation and righteousness. I will proclaim the Christ that put on righteousness as a breastplate, a helmet of salvation upon his head, garments of vengeance for clothing, and zeal as a cloak. I determine to go and turn the people unto true righteousness and true holiness by the words that God will place in my mouth. This is the time of a great falling away. I determine not to worry about those who reject God's grace and all-sufficient love. He is complete and infinite in ability. No man can pluck his people out of his hand. Other loves are pulling them away. The love of many is waxing cold. Trust in self has become a plague among his people. The icebergs of cold love are all about those who have turned unto other loves. There is no grace for those who continue to place their hands to the plow and continue to look back. I remember the Titanic.

 

 

Hebrews 10:22 - 23

Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)

 

Ephesians 2:8-9

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
