Where Are The Real Preachers?

"Where Are The Real Preachers?

In 1879 Charles Haddon Spurgeon gave a message before the Metropolitan Tabernacle Church... of which we so need to hear today from our pulpits.

Here is a snippet from that sermon Spurgeon boldly preached…"I fear there are some who preach with the view of amusing men, and as long as people can be gathered in crowds, and their ears can be tickled, and they can retire pleased with what they have heard, the orator is content, and folds his hands, and goes back self-satisfied. But Paul did not lay himself out to please the public and collect the crowd. If he did not save them he felt that it was of no avail to interest them. Unless the truth had pierced their hearts, affected their lives, and made new men of them, Paul would have gone home crying, "Who hath believed our report, and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?"

I would add too that… The sole purpose of preaching to men is not only to bring them to a saving knowledge of Christ our Lord but that this great salvation by His shed blood on that painful cross, taking on the sins of the world and descending into hell, setting captives free: into a constant awareness to always be humble before God... because of who He is, and what He has done for us.

Elohim/Almighty God... all powerful, all knowing and all present one ... God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. The God Israel. The one and only God. Holy, Holy, Holy is our God Almighty, King of the Universe, Creator of Heaven and Earth who was and is and is to come. Holy, Holy, Holy is our God!

God is not our cosmic bellhop. This generation of sensitive souls and user friendly churches wants only to be amused. They crave compliments growing their swelling heads from swelling sermons. They have forgotten God and have begun to worship men.

Have we forgotten the true sacrifice of being servants of God/Christ, all for Christ, focusing on Christ... sacrificing our lives for Christ… repenting from sin, helping the poor, the sick, the orphans and widows in their distress, visiting those in prison and bringing the good news to the lost but also so importantly keeping ourselves undefiled from this wicked world. Not sinning… and helping others… is our reasonable service to God in Jesus Christ... because we love Him! This is true Christianity!

Our churches are starving to death, in need of God's truth. There is no meat. There is barely any milk. And there is little fruit. We have feared men more than God. Oh body of Christ wake up! Awake O sleeper!

"Cool Dude" pastors of this new millennial age are keen on bringing in the lost but dare not change their cool sermons in order to truly save them… thus keeping the lost lost forever. If this is not a work from satan himself… then I don't know what is. Therefore PREACH like Spurgeon, Ravenhill, Wilkerson, and all the powerful soul changing Holy Spirit filled preachers from old... even as they did in the first century church which was so impowered by the Holy Spirit setting the world on fire for our God and Savior Yahushua HaMassiach / Jesus Christ! Therefore be filled with the Holy Spirit as we see in Acts 2:38... "Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost."
