WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! BLOODY HANDS!

“Son of man, speak to the children of your people, and say to them: ‘When I bring the sword upon a land, and the people of the land take a man from their territory and make him their watchman, when he sees the sword coming upon the land, if he blows the trumpet and warns the people, then whoever hears the sound of the trumpet and does not take warning, if the sword comes and takes him away, his blood shall be on his own head. He heard the sound of the trumpet, but did not take warning; his blood shall be upon himself. But he who takes warning will save his life. But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet, and the people are not warned, and the sword comes and takes any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at the watchman’s hand.’”“So you, son of man: I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; therefore you shall hear a word from My mouth and warn them for Me. When I say to the wicked, ‘O wicked man, you shall surely die!’ and you do not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at your hand. Nevertheless if you warn the wicked to turn from his way, and he does not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul. “Therefore you, O son of man, say to the house of Israel: ‘Thus you say, “If our transgressions and our sins lie upon us, and we pine away in them, how can we then live?”’ Say to them: ‘As I live,’ says the Lord GOD, ‘I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn, turn from your evil ways! For why should you die, O house of Israel?’” So many people on this forum, as well as many other Christians, see a false gospel and false Jesus being cleverly preached and presented as the Truth from many of the so called “Christian“ churches today. The Lord has laid the above Scriptures strong upon my heart lately and also a frightening and unthinkable realization. I have full confidence that on the day of Judgment there will be many people who had by the grace of God seen the things which are happening to the churches in our day and failed to sound the trumpet or give warning. These people who were blessed by the grace of God with the knowledge of the Truth and failed to stand up against these false teachers and warn the deceived masses will be cast into hell with the blood of other all over their hands. I am afraid that there are many who will read this, who know what is happening to the churches today, who are willing to chat about it on their computers or with like minded people in their fellowships that have never been to their local “seeker-sensitive”, “community Christian”, “mega church” or their local “word of faith”, “prosperity gospel” church to sound the alarm who will stand before Jesus on the day of Judgment with bloody hands having known the Truth but failed to blow the trumpet or stand up and warn these people of the deception they are under and wrath of God that is about to fall upon them. I love the children of God and don’t want to see any of them cast into hell with the blood of these cleverly deceived masses on their hands. Whether they listen to us or not, is not of our concern! Whether they mock us, or laugh at us, or arrest us, or stone us, or burn us at the stake, is not of our concern! Or concern is that we have obeyed the teachings of God and out of love warned our fellow man and sounded the trumpet against the deception and lies these pour souls are under bondage to. If we interrupt their candy cotton service and tell them that their pastor is a liar and is grossly mishandling and perverting the gospel of Jesus Christ, we can expect persecution, praise the Lord. We will be treated like our Master and those who have followed him before us, of this we can be sure. But we will stand before Jesus as good and faithful servants with hands that are clear of the blood of the so called “Christians” in our cities being welcomed into the marriage supper of the Lamb.Please ask yourself the following question with honesty and pray that God will lay upon your heart the truth to these questions.What have I done to reach out to these poor souls who are under this terrible “ear tickling” deception and stand up against the “ear ticklers” who are leading them down the wide path to destruction?What more could I have done or be doing to reach out to these poor souls who are under this terrible “ear tickling” deception and stand up against the “ear ticklers” who are leading them down the wide path to destruction?What more could I possibly do to sound the trumpet and ring the alarm?Will my hands be spotless and clear of the blood of these poor deceived souls in my city or town on the day of judgment?I pray that the Holy Spirit will drive the knife of conviction deep into the heart of those who read this and have ears that hear and eyes that see.I love the children of God and don’t want to see anyone of them cast into hell with bloody hands on the day of judgment! REPENT! Be reconciled with God for the Kingdom of heaven is at hand!

This can best be accomplished only when we understand the holiness of God and his wrath as well. Without it we are merely a tinkling cymbal. To many this not square with their teddy-bear concept of God. God is so holy. We can not manipulate God. I know if I were to see Him in person now, I would fall before him because he is so great and I am nothing.ginnyrose

Breaking up a meeting is not the way to do it, brother. There are plenty of people walking around. I am a sissy when it comes to witnessing, but I still get out there and do it sometimes. Targeting people during their service makes you look unreasonable, and what we are doing is a reasonable service for Him."Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.""I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service."We must reason with them.

KrispyKrittr wrote:...in which the board acted too quickly in appointing a new member to the board. Now to ask a question, if you are questioning having a RC on the board, how about taking a the question a bit further back. Is having a board biblical?Would you be as passioinate about that answer as you would be about the credentials of this RC, in regards to church matters?

I share the concerns of brother Patrick. If we truly seek God in all His Majesty, in all His Power, and in all His Glory, the Bible tells us that we will find Him. He is the great I AM. The greatest stumbling block I have found is that most Christians don’t want to open the Word and discuss it. Many are stuck in their own perception and understanding of what it is that God is saying through His Word.We are commanded to love our neighbors. Why is it that Christians defend their particular denominational doctrines? Many become very angry when you question why they believe and practice what they do. It is very difficult to even suggest that they may be wrong or believe a false teaching, because they become angry and are not willing to discuss the Word with you. The last three or so years I have attempted to contact ministries, church organizations, and para-church groups. Unless God Himself opens a door, it is impossible, because everybody is too busy or deceived, that they will refuse to talk to you. There seems to be a fair number of Christians who come to this Forum. Are you willing to read the commandments that Jesus gave us and consider to change the way you worship God, if it turns out that it differs from what you always have been told? Are you willing to seek the truth and share with others IN LOVE? If you are, I say: Praise the Lord!Because my wife and I lead church services at several retirement homes, we encounter Christians from many denominational backgrounds. There are many who will go into an eternity without Christ, because they have been sold out to denominational doctrines, not the truth. Because they are old and set in their ways, most are not able to get their thinking around the fact that what they believe is not true.My advice to all who really care: ask the Father for an opportunity to speak from His Word, led by His Holy Spirit, in the name of His Son and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ: For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them (Eph 2:10). He will provide a way if this is what He has prepared beforehand for you to do. But please ask and pray!In His Love,Hans Pranghans@thefinalcall.netThe Father’s Final Call

Targeting people during their service makes you look unreasonable, and what we are doing is a reasonable service for Him.”I would have to respectfully disagree with this statement you have made. I disagree because I don’t want to see you my brother standing before Jesus on the day of Judgment with bloody hands.1. The Apostles targeted people inside and outside the temples all throughout the book of Acts. 2. If I or you are sitting in a service and the pastor is preaching a false gospel and/or a false Jesus it is our responsibility as a servants of Christ to stand up, openly and publicly confront the pastor and shut him down. If you have the Holy Spirit residing in you, it would be impossible for you to just sit their and listen to Christ be put to open shame and watch these poor souls be deceived. At very least one should stand up in the lobby or parking lot and preach the Truth. Exposing a pastor openly and publicly in front of his congregation as a liar and Scripture twister for preaching a watered down, humanistic, sappy and sugary false Jesus and gospel is not only a good thing, but again it is your responsibility as a servant of Jesus Christ.3. Would you disagree with the methods of Luther, Huss, Wycliff, Wesley, Foxe, Whitefield or Bunyan? These are the methods of open and public confrontation of which I am talking about.I want to reiterate that I speak strongly and boldly on such matters, because I love Jesus, His children and the lost and dieing souls of this world who are being deceived and lead down the road to eternal destruction with cleaver lies and enticing philosophies. One can not ever imagine the shrieks and screams of horror of those who think they are going to heaven when the Lord tells them to depart into everlasting darkness and eternal fire prepared for the Devil and his angels. And to think that be the grace of God you were shown the truth but failed to share it with these poor deceived souls and confront the liar and demon disguised as an angel of light they called pastor.Again I plead with you to ask yourself the questions at the end of the original post with a prayerful heart asking for guidance by the Holy Spirit! Acts 18:28 28He refuted all the Jews with powerful arguments in public debate. Using the Scriptures, he explained to them, "The Messiah you are looking for is Jesus."Acts 19:8 Paul Ministers in Ephesus8Then Paul went to the synagogue and preached boldly for the next three months, arguing persuasively about the Kingdom of God. Acts 17:17 17He went to the synagogue to debate with the Jews and the God-fearing Gentiles, and he spoke daily in the public square to all who happened to be there.Acts 18:3-5 4Each Sabbath found Paul at the synagogue, trying to convince the Jews and Greeks alike.Acts 18:19 19When they arrived at the port of Ephesus, Paul left the others behind. But while he was there, he went to the synagogue to debate with the Jews. John 18:20 20Jesus replied, "What I teach is widely known, because I have preached regularly in the synagogues and the Temple. I have been heard by people everywhere, and I teach nothing in private that I have not said in public.

I have full confidence that on the day of Judgment there will be many people who had by the grace of God seen the things which are happening to the churches in our day and failed to sound the trumpet or give warning. These people who were blessed by the grace of God with the knowledge of the Truth and failed to stand up against these false teachers and warn the deceived masses will be cast into hell with the blood of other all over their hands. There is no warrant for this in the New Testament and is a leap to draw a conclusion where there is none stated. To take the example of Ezekiel out of the context and time it was written and apply it now is a wrong application. Don't miss the point. We certainly ought to warn when it is necessary to do so and as the Lord would have us speak. Surely there is a principal there but we cannot make it say what we choose to make it say.Just as well think the point is emphasized by a couple of other verses in Acts, just prior to the ones you brought forth:Act 16:6 Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia and the region of Galatia, and were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia, Act 16:7 After they were come to Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia: but the Spirit suffered them not. Act 16:8 And they passing by Mysia came down to Troas. Act 16:9 And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us.The Lord may well have you keep silent. 2. If I or you are sitting in a service and the pastor is preaching a false gospel and/or a false Jesus it is our responsibility as a servants of Christ to stand up, openly and publicly confront the pastor and shut him down. If you have the Holy Spirit residing in you, it would be impossible for you to just sit their and listen to Christ be put to open shame and watch these poor souls be deceived. Again, that is a dangerous statement to make. It is not your 'responsibility' as you state, it is the responsibility to obey what the Holy Spirit speaks to your heart in any given moment, and that very well may be to stand up and speak. But you can't make this a blanket statement covering whatever circumstances are at hand.You could end up doing more harm than good all the while feeling that you have discharged your duty and done nothing to change the hearts and minds of those you are so concerned about.Came out of much this that you speak of, it is not as cut and dried as you might think. It is very easy to get a caught up in a wrongheaded and opposite reaction:Referring back to Acts 16:Twice the Spirit checked the steps of these travelers, and then He directed them to the place of His choosing. "Forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia! This can’t be. The Bible plainly says that we should go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature, so I’m going! I’ll determine where I’ll go and how I’ll get there. God himself has given me a blank check." This, almost needless to say, is a dangerous attitude.God has indeed given us a general invitation, but the specific fulfilling of it must be directed by the Holy Spirit each step of the way. So many of us are much more responsive to the Spirit when He bids us go than when He calls us to a halt. We want to go, go, go. We want to do great exploits for the Lord, preferably before the eye of the admiring masses. To be dead and hid with Christ in God is not quite as easy to receive, especially when you have been successful in establishing the churches in Asia Minor. If the Holy Spirit can shut your mouth in the very place of your greatest preaching achievements, I would say that He has possession of His vessel.What kind of spirit would lead a band of God’s men away from the continent of their proven success and point them toward a place where neither their names nor the name of their Lord had ever been heard? Many might say, "That’s not the Spirit of God. That’s the spirit of Satan trying to distract God’s servant, take him away from the field of his greatest use, and send him to some remote place where he’s going to be lost in obscurity. Macedonia? Never!"Once again, one of the key questions of these end times is raised: how can we determine whether we are being spoken to by the Spirit of God or by the spirit of the evil one? We know that Satan is a vicious counterfeiter, and that his artful attempts to imitate the voice of God have often fooled the Lord’s children. How could Paul and the others know that it was the Holy Spirit keeping them from preaching in the provinces of Asia and Bithynia, and directing them to Macedonia? They knew in the only way that men can: like Elijah before them, they were so familiar with the accents of the still small voice of God that they had not doubt Who was speaking to them.A man who has that kind of intimacy with the Lord’s voice is one who has been long processed at His hand, one who has known brokenness and the cuttings away of the flesh. It is only by going through these wilderness testings that a true and consistent sensitivity to the things of the Spirit emerges.Art KatzReality the Hope of Glory

Sorry Mike but I would have to respectively disagree.I am fully aware that no man is 100% correct in the Biblical, Scriptural and spiritual understanding, so I am open to discuss this matter and open the option that I may be wrong in my opinions on this matter. I feel that you have the same understandings as I in this matter so I look forward to the discussion. I am not afraid or to high on my own pedestal to humble myself and admit that I am wrong when I am wrong, but I have a strong burning for passion for the heart of God and stand bold and firm on His word and the things I feel that he reveals to me through the Scriptures. I do not think that sounding the trumpet in the face of the eternal wrath of God that at any second (the second of death) will fall upon these countless millions who are deceived and the deceiver who are deceiving them. If we see someone who is deceived or hear someone who is preaching deception it is our responsibility to warn them and to teach them the truth. (I will defer to the great commission)Here are some questions to ponder and pray about.1. If a pastor see a parishioner living a lifestyle of sin and says nothing about it, do not these verses of Ezekiel apply? Is not the blood of this person on that pastors hands for not giving warning?2. If you are not the pastor and see a member of the church you attend or a friend or a family member or co-worker being led astray by empty philosophies and false teachings and fail to talk to this person, is not this persons blood upon your hands?3. What current application of Ezekiel would apply in modern America? Or will no one today appear before God with bloody hands?4. What would Elijah, Elisha, Ezekiel, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Habakkuk, Hosea, Amos, Malachi, John the Baptist, Paul, Peter, John (the revelator), James, Jude, Luther, Huss, Wycliff, Wesley, Foxe, Whitefield, Finney or Bunyan do if they found themselves in the situation we find the church in today?I fully understand that we must be led by the Holy Spirit in everything we do, but we must not use that use that as an excuse not to preach or do as we are commanded. These are in reference to the Holy Spirit directing the Apostles as to where to go and where to preach not if they should preach. I have heard many use these same Scriptures twisted out of context to relinquish them of their Christ directed responsibility to preach the truth of the gospel to every living creature. Such as “I never shared the gospel with that person because I never felt the Holy Spirit moving me to do so.” This a cop out. You are commanded to share the Gospel and the Truth with every living creature who is in darkness and deception (whether they are in the darkness and deception of Islam, Buddhism, modern American Christianity, Hinduism, Catholicism or Atheism - what darkness and deception they are in is irrelevant - the command to preach the kingdom of heaven and the Truth of Jesus Christ remains the same) and you can not twist and pervert these Scriptures to make them mean something they were never meant to mean!I understand that at specific times the Holy Spirit say “NO - NOT HERE - NOT NOW” for this has happened to me in the past. I have gone specifically expecting to stand up and speak out and the direction of the Holy Spirit said “NO!”. This of course is the exception and not the norm, since we are commanded to stand bold and firm on the Word of God. We should always seek the guidance and direction of Holy Spirit as to were and when to speak and preach, not if we if are to speak and preach. We are already commanded to do so - we not seek the advise of the Holy Spirit as to if we are to do so, but were and when we are to do so and let the Spirit God lead us were He wants us to go. If you pray that God will lead you through His Holt Spirit were He wants you wants you preach and which pastor he wants you speak out against and what deceived souls He wants you to preach the truth to, I stand on the promises of God that He direct you were He wants you to go. There is no shortage of demonic pastors and deceived congregations, just a shortage of those willing to be lead by the Holy Spirit.I have no desire to these things of which I speak for they are directly against my personality and my flesh. I am not a sadists thirsting for persecution. I have no desire to be seen and heard, or do great things out of my own flesh, but solely to do the will of God, obey His commands and love Him and His Son with all my heart and soul. I love these people and want these people to be saved (although God has already told me they will not listen) It is terrible to see the things that are happening to the church and see no one standing up against it. If you see these things and do nothing about it, I am under the understanding that the blood of these people will be on your hands on the day of judgment. I not advocating any one go off half cocked, but pray to be lead by the Spirit of God to stand up against those who are content to put Christ to open shame again and again and again and again.Again I ask all who read this to pray to the Holy Spirit to reveal the answer to the following questions and drive the knife of conviction deep into your heart!What have I done to reach out to these poor souls who are under this terrible “ear tickling” deception and stand up against the “ear ticklers” who are leading them down the wide path to destruction?What more could I have done or be doing to reach out to these poor souls who are under this terrible “ear tickling” deception and stand up against the “ear ticklers” who are leading them down the wide path to destruction?If you were under deception wouldn’t you want someone to preach the truth and reality of Jesus to you? “Do unto others”Do you love these people enough to tell them the truth? Or are you willing to watch them go to hell and say nothing?What more could I possibly do to sound the trumpet and ring the alarm?Will my hands be spotless and clear of the blood of these poor deceived souls in my city or town on the day of judgment?Not to be redundant, but as so there is no misunderstanding I would like to restate - I am fully aware that no man is 100% correct in the Biblical, Scriptural and spiritual understanding, so I am open to discuss this matter and open the option that I may be wrong in my opinions on this matter. I feel that you (Mike) have the same understandings as I in this matter so I look forward to the discussion. I am not afraid or to high on my own pedestal to humble myself and admit that I am wrong when I am wrong, but I have a strong burning for passion for the heart of God and stand bold and firm on His word and the things I feel that he reveals to me through the Scriptures. The heart of God is burning with anger and fury and wrath for what is happen to the church today and at the same time weeping in heart break and sorrow. Mike - I am respectful of your position, understand were you are coming from, the concerns you have, your knowledge of Scripture and your heart for God and the truth. I look forward to respectful, bold and provoking discussion and debate.I love the children of God and don’t want to see anyone of them cast into hell with bloody hands on the day of judgment! REPENT! Be reconciled with God for the Kingdom of heaven is at hand!

Hi Patrick,From your earlier posting again:These people who were blessed by the grace of God with the knowledge of the Truth and failed to stand up against these false teachers and warn the deceived masses will be cast into hell with the blood of other all over their hands. And again:I am under the understanding that the blood of these people will be on your hands on the day of judgment.Again, where is the scriptural warrant? And where do you get this understanding? This is what is being addressed, the going beyond what is written. This is something that is troubling as it becomes a bending or in actuality the same twisting of scripture that we might get all up in arms about when it is of a more overt nature. It is not to be didactic for arguments sake. An example would be from a recent out take from the articles archive here. In it, the preacher talked about a women who had halted at the gospel and later upon becoming sick was rejected by God (so he said) as she sought the Lord again, the justification being a wrong usage and application of Esau selling his birthright and subsequent rejection of his blessing. (Heb 12:17 - Gen 27) Just trying to bring the truth and honesty into what we are proclaiming. There is enough to deal with that we need not go beyond what is written.The problem grows worse if we are to make this an addition to "Go and make disciples...or else!" Where do we see a requirement of our blood being required, more so that we could be rejected and be cast into hell for failure to speak? Same with warning the false teachers and prophets, of course we ought to warn, that is besides the point at the moment. Am purposefully concentrating on this aspect as the want is to jump ahead and bring out the justification and then it becomes a case of pragmatism and it just slides on by. We ought not to be known for attempting to make points by skewering things a bit to make that point. Isn't this exactly the same thing we would have trouble with those who are presenting a name-it and claim-it doctrine, to marry text's together to our own liking and to buttress up whatever concoction we have developed in our minds? Surely that is not your attempt nor motivation, but a pause at this 'blood on your hands' needs to be straightened out before moving on to other aspects.

2 Thessalonians 2:11,12 For this reason God will send upon them a deluding influence so that they will believe what is false, in order that they all may be judged who did not believe the truth, but took pleasure in wickedness (may be translated as: a deed violating the law, i.e., God’s Word).1 Peter 4:17 For it is time for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God?Three times in the last 15 years did the Lord tell me to confront a Christian pastor about sin and wrong teaching. The last time, a few years ago, I was to publicly speak a word. I prayed the entire day before I reluctantly went to the meeting where I was to give that “word.” I begged the Lord not to have to do it, for it was in the church where I attended and I had many friends. The Lord did not remove the burden and I obeyed. The Lord has strongly impressed on my heart that the Church is under judgment. The reason why I speak so strong on prayer is that if the Lord is judging an assembly or an entire organization, by having those who attend believe a lie, I would go against Him if I would confront them. I believe that only if one prays as we read in Ezekiel 22:30, 31, as a man standing in the gap before God asking Him not to destroy the people for who we pray, He may use us to confront and allow repentance in that assembly. If we don’t stand in the gap for the people who sin, we have to be totally certain that we are following the will of God in confronting wrong teaching. If I would follow my heart, therefore I appreciate your heart brother Patrick, I would be charging against all those whose flock I have met and who don’t know the God of the Bible. People who have been fed “comfortable God loves you” stories, or were told that they would only go to heaven if they belonged to a specific church, etc., etc.We have to be called by God to speak judgment and rebuke. Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Moses, Jonah, Paul, etc., were all called by God. If God doesn’t call us specifically to speak out against someone or a group of people, we may go against His will. The Bible clearly tells us that our heavenly Father will make those who don’t seek the Giver, but the gifts, or who don’t bother testing the spirits by reading His Word, believe a lie. If God is judging who are we to interfere, except to stand in the gap and pray for His mercy?In His Love,Hans Pranghans@thefinalcall.netThe Father’s Final Call

I have read all of your comments and appreciate your thoughts regarding this matter. Thank you so much for all of the thoughtfull and heart felt posts and Scriptures.Dorcas has suggested that I am taking what the Lord is telling me and applying it everyone else. She is correct in this assumption and I appreciate her pointing it out. I can understand that the Lord uses different people for different tasks. (prophet, teacher, preacher, apostle, evangelist) But we must also understand that just because you are a teacher , does not mean you never have to evangelize and so on. If you only teach but never evangelize to anyone, I feel you may not be living up to what God has called us all to do. (I hope this makes sense) Now I can realize that the harshness and ultimate totality of some of the statements I have in this warning and throughout this post are meant specifically for me and may not apply in the same sense, the same harshness or the same ultimate totality to everyone who reads this post. For this I would like to apologize and correct myself.With that being said the book of Ezekiel is so amazingly relevant to what is happening today in the church it is shocking that it wasn’t written last week, but thousands of years ago. I think it would do us all good to read through the book of Ezekiel again and learn how God wants a man of God to act in the face of such things among His people. The same is true with Jeremiah, Isaiah and the rest of the major and minor prophets. It is amazing how these last books of the Old Testament echo so exactly what is happening today. It would be a benefit for everyone to read through these books and see how God uses, instructs and expects men who are after His heart to act and behave in the face of such things. We can not forget that we must not only be hearers of the Word but doers of the Word. We have a lot of hears but very few doers. Also - All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. This apply to the books major and minor prophets especially in light of how they echo the situation we find ourselves faced with in the church today. I would again call anyone who is concerned with what is going on in the church today to read the books of the major and minor prophets and see how God instructs, expects and teaches those who are after His heart to act in the face of such things.“If are in need of any type of prophet today it is the Old Testament type that we are lacking and in need of” Leonard RavenhillAgain I would like to say and thank Docus for pointing out following - I can realize that the harshness and ultimate totality of some of the statements I have made in this warning and throughout this post are meant specifically for me and may not apply in the same sense, the same harshness or the same ultimate totality to everyone who reads this post.But the questions I have asked are still applicable to everyone to some degree or another. The Holy Spirit is able to and will let you know to what degree these thing and this warning applies to you. I am sure their are many who need to asks these questions and seek guidance as to the answers from the Holy Spirit. So I make the same plea as I have made in my previous posts - PLEASE ask yourself the following question with honesty and pray that God through His Holy Spirit will lay upon your heart the truth to these questions.1. If a pastor see a parishioner living a lifestyle of sin and says nothing about it, do not these verses of Ezekiel apply? Is not the blood of this person on that pastors hands for not giving warning?2. If you are not the pastor and see a member of the church you attend or a friend or a family member or co-worker being led astray by empty philosophies and false teachings and fail to talk to this person, is not this persons blood upon your hands?3. What current application of Ezekiel would apply in modern America? Or will no one today appear before God with bloody hands?4. What would Elijah, Elisha, Ezekiel, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Habakkuk, Hosea, Amos, Malachi, John the Baptist, Paul, Peter, John (the revelator), James, Jude, Luther, Huss, Wycliff, Wesley, Foxe, Whitefield, Finney or Bunyan do if they found themselves in the situation we find the church in today?5. What have I done to reach out to these poor souls who are under this terrible “ear tickling” deception and stand up against the “ear ticklers” who are leading them down the wide path to destruction?6. What more could I have done or be doing to reach out to these poor souls who are under this terrible “ear tickling” deception and stand up against the “ear ticklers” who are leading them down the wide path to destruction?7. What more could I possibly do to sound the trumpet and ring the alarm? (for the kingdom of heaven is at hand and the wrath of God is poised to strike)8. Will my hands be spotless and clear of the blood of these poor deceived souls in my city or town on the day of judgment?9. If you were under deception wouldn’t you want someone to preach the truth and reality of Jesus to you? “Do unto others”10. Do you love these people enough to tell them the truth? Or are you willing to watch them go to hell and say nothing?I understand that some may disagree but I feel that one of the most un-reached segments of the population with the Gospel of Jesus Christ is the modern American “Christian”. Sure they have all heard “a gospel“, but literally millions have never heard “The Gospel”. Just because they have heard and believe “a gospel“, does that mean we shouldn’t preach to them “The Gospel”? The Lord has burdened my heart for these lost people and I apologize if I have over stated the harshness and totality of the warning I have received to include everyone. But please pray that God will reveal to you what extent it applies to you. I believe there will many on the day of judgment who stand before God with bloody hands. I just don’t want that to be you my friend.
