I don't know what
is happening with my church of here lately. We have had some
powerhouse Evangelist preaching in our mist since January. I am not
taking anything away from our pastor Gary Wiggins either. He can hold
his own in any crowd as far as I am concerned. He is the Shepard of
the flock that I reside in, and I will always back him one hundred
percent. I will continue to support that man as long as he loves the
Lord in the way that he does now.

Today we had an
Evangelist to Russia that brought the word to us this morning. He
travels with a singing keyboard player named James Hugh. This guy
was really good. Although, I have not heard anybody sing in our
church that outdoes our singers. I think our group is world class!!
If at all possible y'all need to go to the church web site, on the
top left of this blog. Then go to the church site, and click on
sermons. Then go under the revive section, and find Mikel French. Now
the church site is only updated on Tuesday. If you try to see it
before then it wont be there. If you are a Christian that is serious
about the Word of God. You will find this sermon not only
informative, but also of a heart pricking nature.
The Evangelist
name was Mikel French. His name is pronounced like Micheal. It just
has a different type spelling. He started out talking about the
country of Russia. It is in the process of dying. What is killing
those people is mainly Alcoholism, Drug Addiction, and the Aid's
Virus. Mikel's ministry is located in Moscow. He says that Moscow is
an extremely high priced city to live in. the country of Russia is
nothing like America. Here we have church's all crossed the country.
I don't think that we have a city that doesn't have a church. Russia
is God barren. They only have a few church's that preach Jesus
Christ.
I wish that I
could remember all the facts that he said. It was very interesting to
know. Especially, how the country is dying, and how well the people
are flocking to the message of Jesus Christ. The people of Russia
need Jesus, and as far as right now, a lot of them don't have the
chance to hear the gospel. We need to include this country in our
prayers.
Mikel told us that
he was going to bring the word today from the book of romance. In all
my wisdom I though that he was talking about the “song of
Solomon.” I never figured it to be the book of
“Revelations.”
It made sense though when Mikel started explaining that it was
concerning a bridegroom, and His bride. Even though, I had never
considered it in that way. He brought out some very good points that
I have never considered before. Mikel said that this was a portrait
of Jesus talking to His bride. We are the bride of Christ.
evelations 3:15-16 states: He was telling the bride when He took her
in His mouth, that we must either be hot, or cold, because if we are
lukewarm He will spit us out!!
Now,
let me do what I do best, and get graphic so you might get a better
understanding. Hot means on fire. Burning with passion. Hot in
pursuit for more of Jesus. No matter what we receive from the Lord we
are never satisfied. We want, and expect more of Jesus!! More, More,
More !!
Cold
means that we are not Saved, and don't know better. We are totally ignorant of the goodness of the
Lord. We are incomplete without ever have experienced what it is to
have Jesus. We truly are lost, and don't have a clue what life is all
about.
This
is where the trouble begins. If we are lukewarm. The Creator of all
creation can not stomach the effects that we leave on Him! He will
spit, spew, vomit, anything that it takes to get us outside of His
greatness, because the taste of us make the great Jehovah-jireh
sick to His stomach!! Right now you should be feeling a little sick to your stomach. I know that i am!!
The problem is
lukewarm. Lukewarm is in a state of heading toward being cold. It is
bach sliden, unethuastic, not motivated, lacking conviction, indifferent,
lacking zeal etc....There is no wonder that Jesus will puke us out of
His mouth if we are in that kind of shape. Wouldn't you? There is a
cure from being in this kind of shape.
Mikel made another statement about the most harmful being , or the
number one enemy of the church today. It is not Satan, or demons.
hey are real for sure, but they are not the most harmful thing to a
church. It is the members of the church getting complacent!! Complacency is the same thing as being lukewarm. Kinda scary huh?
Please check out the video if you desire the solution. It just might
save us from making Jesus sick!!
.......Much Love
