A Fearful yet Relieving Message
Last Saturday, I heard a report in the church:
Chuck D. Pierce, a prophet of God, prophesied, “…I then began to hear, Earthquakes! Earthquakes! Earthquakes! The ground is shaking. Unusual earthquakes! Asia! Asia, you will now shake! You will see shifting winds that are shaking the nations of Asia. You will see nations shaking this week! Pray for Asia!”
Since then, after just a few days, Asia experienced both cyclones and earthquakes in Myanmar and China respectively. Thank God aids have been sent, but we need to continue to help them and to keep on praying for them.
This report also gave the church a message that we shall not take our lives, which are God’s gifts, for granted. Jesus, being sinless and a Lamb of God, died in our place on the cross as a perfect sacrifice to bear our sins – the Sinless Jesus saving the sinful humans, so that whoever believes in Him will be forgiven of his/her sins. The fruit of this faith/belief is not indulgence - saying, ‘it’s OK to sin since we’re forgiven,’ but repentance – stop sinning/disobeying God and start doing God’s will. After hearing such message, the FEAR of God gripped my heart, especially when I was reminded of Jesus’ words saying, “Not everyone who keeps saying to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will get into the kingdom of heaven, but only the person who keeps doing the will of my Father in heaven…” and the immediate prompting to me is to stop sinning/disobeying God and start doing God’s will. May God help us! Yes! He certainly will! What a RELIEF! Thank you Jesus!
