I Will Purge My Pulpits

Acts-celerater Posts: 671 **9/4/13 1:29 pm**

This is a word from The Lord... Receive it or reject it, it's up to you.
I will purge my pulpits from the lies that are being spoken that are not of my spirit but of mans own ambition. I will purge my pulpits because I hold you the high priest of my house responsible for the sheep your leading. My sheep look unto you for guidance, but you have forsaken them for your own lust of pleasure and success. You work more and pray less. You feed your natural appetites but you are lean of spiritual food because you do not care enough for me and my word. You hurry in preparing food for my sheep and you give them crumbs. I will send my fire of purification through my house and I will expose the fleshly and lazy. I seek for those that are hungry and will pick up my cross and follow me wherever I go. I send a warning to repent and cry out for healing and restoration.

What does a "purge" of a pulpit consist of?

Going to get worse not better

The Bible says things are going to get worse.

Matt 24:10 At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, 11 and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. 12 Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold,

4 Timothy 4:3 For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. 4 They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.

I do not look to the pulpits to make a difference in these last days. The real difference makers are not who you would expect.

The high priest comment was an eyebrow-raiser for me. But if the teaching in the churches were purged and purified in this country, it would address some concerns and prayers that have been on my heart recently.

Were you purged from your pulpit?

If I remember correctly, recently you got out of pastoring. Did God do this? Are you back in the pulpit now?

If we do as David did and ask the Lord to purge our heart, our pulpit will be ok.

When will the purging take place?

When a prophesy is given, keep in mind the timing. I have been guilty of thinking the prophesy would take place very soon. Remember the disciples thought the Lord would return in their lifetime.

Seems like I remember a prophesy stating something like, "homosexuality will come to an end in the 90's". If this was from the Lord it was He was not talking about 1990's.

As a young minister I will never forget my pastor called a meeting of all the men in our church. He told us that a brother who was a member of our church had been found guilty of adultery and it was his responsibility to remove him from our membership.

When he gave the name I was floored. The man was an Evangelist who had powerful tent meetings in our area. I had been to his meetings and though he was the stuff. I did not know he was a member of our church.

According to what was reported he had been sleeping around for a long time. I could not believe it. I was so shaken. I prayed and prayed about this. Finally the Lord gave me some relief by telling me it was the Word that went forth, not the one who delivered the Word.

The Bard nailed it. I couldn't have said it better.

This is hilarious. And scary. The scary part is that I'm agreeing with Daniel AND The Bard, lol.
I read the OP before The Bard commented. The Bard's comments were very much along the lines of what I had thought (though The Bard was able to put it into precise words which, in this case, would have been difficult for me).

29 Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge.

30 If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace.

31 For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted.

32 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.

33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.

Tom,

I could be mistaken, but it seemed to me there were two threads with identical opening posts by Rev. Mike. Is it possible The Bard's post was in the other "I will purge my pulpits" thread?
