Well, I attend a fantastic Church, but I've only met two people out of almost 300 that are remotely in tune with what is going on. Even on this forum, I doubt that even 90% of posters here are prepared for what is coming. What most people say is that when/if a collapse comes, they will just, "trust God". That's fine, but God has set watchmen/messengers/prophets in the Church to warn about what is coming. I tried to have this discussion 6 years ago at my old Church and I was met with:
-We can't speak doom and gloom because our words have creative power, and it will come to pass
-Y2K was a dud, and therefore, we don't really know if any talk of a financial crises will really pan out
-And other assorted, "I don't want to know the truth" sort of platitudes
BTW, I
don't call myself a prophet.
The only thing a Christian can do is to hear what God is saying to
THEM PERSONALLY. Different cities and different regions will have different concerns.
Quest, who is boasting, and what do you mean by that?
I think that most prophets that have warned for years have wept in their prayer closet that:
That was part of the message...I share it because there will be some who get tripped into judgment toward brethren not participating in the battle...I have no one in particular in mind...but the warning was clear and to be kept in mind incase the enemy tries to ensnare..
-The Church cannot even discern the voice through His messengers.....people cannot even recognize Jesus when He is literally speaking through His people....to warn, to lead, to prepare
-When a collapse comes, most people will not be prepared spiritually, emotionally, psychologically, or in the natural
-Much of the western Church world has embraced the gospel of positive thinking, more than the gospel of The Cross.
I recall sitting in a Walmart parking lot about 7 years ago with tears running down my face, looking at my husband and saying, "I'm grieving for my country, and I know I have to say goodbye to her". I have also had several dreams of warning and what was coming with regard to a financial collapse, inflation, and how God would keep me. But most people handwaive away anything that doesn't comport with the gospel of positive thinking, and so people don't want to "go there" in their thinking.
So to be honest with you, I don't even mention this stuff to people at my Church, because much of my Church has embraced that damnable doctrine called a-millenialism, which is heavily promoted in Renewel circles such as Bethel and others. "The world is getting better and better" says Chris Vallotton (I heard his teaching on MP3 and that is verbatim what he said).
So my family and I spend time in prayer for our Church family because we know when all this goes down, they will be shell-shocked and unprepared. I weep for my Church family. I don't know
ANYONE who is boastful, so I find your comment here a bit strange.
