Exchanged Life
 

Dear friends!
In the web-site http://www.gracefellowshipintl.com/articles.htm?pageid=articles we read these lines:
"While many pastors faithfully teach the truth of our union with Christ, few are comfortable in applying that truth I a one-on-one setting when
discipling or counseling and seeing believers released from the results of psychological trauma or growing up in a dysfunctional home."

"Too many Christians have enough spirituality to make them feel uncomfortable in a bar but not enough to make them feel comfortable in a
prayer meeting! In the bar they expect to get mixed drinks; but, with the present state of the church, they are likely to get a mixed message!"

And some more:
"The church is the only institution that can offer an answer that will work for time and eternity; however, the church of the 20th century has all too frequently invested heavily in the "ambulance" industry and must get back to basics if it is to have any credibility with believers and the empowering to "turn the world upside down". Since many pastors have become "ambulance drivers", it will necessitate some massive retraining.

Getting back to basics means that judgment must begin at the house of God. Only Holy Spirit revival will avail to bring about the sweeping changes necessary to effect social reform in our country and in the world. Those who have fallen off the cliff must refuse the "ambulance ride" and lose their lives in order to save them. Only as they die to the answers proffered by the world system will they know the power of resurrection life and experience revival that will transform their lives and make them instruments of transformation in the lives of others."

Dear friends, do you remember these lines in Revelation:
14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;
15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. (Revelation 3:14-18)

That's why church must be hot only! If church will be hot we will win a victory over all problems! If Yeshua (Jesus) is with us who can be against us?
