Look, I know I am a sinner. I have a long way to go in my faith. I don’t ever want to be famous because I’m afraid of the pressure it will bring. My brother in law(David) and sister(Jenn) were on staff with Athletes in Action (part of Campus Crusade) for many years. David said he was tired of lifting up athletes because the higher they got the further they fell.
Now, I’m beginning to understand. Michael Irvin formerly of the Dallas Cowboys and Miami Hurricanes was arrested again yesterday, this time for speeding. The officer found a drug pipe in his car. He claims it is not his. I really hope it is not. You see Irvin has suppose to have become a Christian. Now I realize we all fail. I do it everyday. But before we go on the 700 Club and TBN promoting our faith we had better watch what we do. I really like Michael Irvin. I will pray for him. Even if he messed up, I will love him as a fellow Christian. But I am done pointing out Christian Celebs to my children friends and my church.

This is happening again and again and again in our churches and around the world. It USED to mean something when you called yourself a Christian, but unfortunately, the very sad reality is that this really DOESN’T appear to mean much anymore if ANYTHING at all!
In fact, there is HARDLY any difference anymore between the church and the world and many non-Christians tell me that they are tired of the “fake show”.
They tell me that they want to see the “real meal deal”, just like at McDonald’s and that these REAL Christians are becoming fewer and fewer and fewer in our churches!
That is why I believe in 2 Chronicles 7:14 so much.
How is revival going to begin in the world until it begins with US, in our own churches and congregations, etc.?
People in the world have seen the fake, the flakey, the false and they want the REAL DEAL.
There is a generation rising up and they WILL ABSOLUTELY NOT TOLERATE this wishy-washy stuff ANY longer! They are an all in or all out bunch and they WON’T ACCEPT a middle ground approach. My son is one of them!
They are direct, to the point and they want accountability, eternal results and FRUIT, FRUIT AND MORE FRUIT! They are DETERMINED, ENERGETIC and TIRELESS in their pursuit of this! They ARE the REAL DEAL Christians of yesteryear!
God, please touch your church with 2 Chronicles 7:14. Send revival and healing to our churches! Help us get out of our buildings and actually CARE about the unsaved in our neighborhoods, on our streets! Help us to actually BE the church in and to the world!
These lost people DON’T CARE about the building. It’s about the PEOPLE in the building that MATTERS MOST to them. THE PEOPLE are SUPPOSE to be the church!
The needs of the unsaved are GREAT! They simply CANNOT WAIT for us to get our “acts” together and straightened out! They need us NOW and they needed us YESTERDAY already!
Help us to be THE REAL DEAL. Let’s call a fake a fake, call them on their actions, and get on with the business of trying to reach the lost on our streets, in our neighborhoods, in our own communities!
We should look LIKE the Christians in the book of Acts but more and more and more we DON’T seem to look that much different from the world at all! Statistics also tell us this!
In fact, MANY NON-CHRISTIAN INDIVIDUALS, see through this bluff, false/fake show and act and are now beginning to call people on this!
Let’s rise up and be the REAL DEAL or else DON’T CALL OURSELVES CHRISTIANS at all! There SHOULD BE A SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO, after all!
MANY of our churches and it’s members are a REAL MESS and they themselves DON’T LOOK TOO MUCH DIFFERENT from the world!
They DON’T LOVE EACH OTHER like we should, there is gossiping going on, lying, cheating, stealing, you name it.
Lord, let REVIVAL come to our churches FIRST before we can go out and HEAL the world and the unsaved.
I feel that, at present, we are a MESS and we need a BRAZENLY TRUTHFUL MESSAGE about how we REALLY look to the world. We need to SMARTEN UP, SHAKE THE DUST OFF and BECOME the people that God/Jesus called us to be!
We are SUPPOSE to be the salt of the earth! We are SUPPOSE to be the light of the world!
Do we look like that in some of our churches? What are we doing to REACH OUT to our lost brothers and sisters in our world, in EACH of our own communities?
If we are NOT DOING ANYTHING AND IF WE ARE PRODUCING NO ETERNAL FRUIT, THEN WE HAD BETTER WAKE UP, SHAKE THE DUST OFF AND GET MOVING INTO ACTION!
Let’s WAKE UP CHRISTIAN CHURCHES ALL OVER THE WORLD!
I think that we are a SHAMEFUL and PITIFUL SIGHT right now in the eyes of our Lord and He says in His word that IF we are lukewarm, that HE WILL SPIT/SPEW US OUT OF HIS MOUTH!
LET’S WAKE UP CHRISTIANS EVERYWHERE AND LET US BECOME THE PEOPLE THAT WE SAY THAT WE ARE AND THAT WE ARE CALLED TO BE!
NO MORE BALONEY, FALSE WITNESSES, etc., etc.
LET’S BECOME THE REAL DEAL or let us shut up and get out of the way and let the people who are the REAL DEAL lead and show us the way that we OUGHT TO BE living and behaving in this hour on our planet!
Let’s CALL FORTH preachers RIGHT NOW who are going to preach THE TRUTH to the masses; not a feel-good or watered down message or a message to tickle our ears but a VERY REALISTIC, PRACTICAL MESSAGE that our churches everywhere NEED TO HEAR in this hour on our planet!
GOD, I CALL THESE MEN AND WOMEN FORTH AND I SAY, BRING IT ON LORD! Lord, STRAIGHTEN OUT YOUR PEOPLE IN OUR CHURCHES EVERYWHERE AND CAUSE THEM TO SMARTEN UP, CLEAN THEMSELVES UP, STRAIGHTEN UP AND GET OUT of their buildings and start BEING the REAL CHURCH to the lost in our world, in EACH of our perspective communities!
This is what I believe that God is calling us to do in this hour on our planet!
Never mind man’s will, we’ve seen the results of that. Now, God I CALL FORTH YOUR WILL TO BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN, ALL OVER OUR PLANET, in, through, around, over, and in the midst of our churches EVERYWHERE!
LORD, PLEASE RELEASE THIS TO US IMMEDIATELY!
We are a DRY and a THIRSTY people and in GREAT NEED of a MIGHTY TOUCH and MOVE from YOU, OUR GOD!
PLEASE SEND REVIVAL TO YOUR CHURCHES, TO OUR COMMUNITIES EVERYWHERE, THROUGH US, NOW, LORD!
The lost out there have NO MORE TIME LEFT to wait! They NEED US NOW!
I ask this request in the PRECIOUS NAME OF JESUS, OUR LORD AND OUR REDEEMER, OUR PRECIOUS SAVIOUR, AMEN AND AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
