Away From Me, I Never Knew You!

Not for those with no stomach for hard to digest Truth.

I spent a long time with The LORD one day, and I humbly submit these words of serious warning to The Church at large.

This doesn’t apply to all, but it certainly does apply to many.

Revelation 3:16 and Matthew 7:22-23 are the relevant scriptures.

“So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth.” Revelation 3:16.

“Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’” Matthew 7:22-23.

The conversation I had with The LORD was somewhat terse, but this is the gist of what was said…..

So, for now, the great lock-up has gone. We are more free to meet together, to worship, than we have been for a long time.

Yet what does The Church do?

It turns straight back to the same old, same old, with never a thought of anything else!

When is The Church going to wake up?

If this past two years hasn’t woken us up, then it seems that nothing will!

We are on the cusp of the greatest Revival ever known or even imagined, yet the vast majority of Churches have turned right back to the ‘Community Social Club’ that they’ve always been.

Uninspired by The Holy Spirit, indeed, rarely even trying to acknowledge Him, everything is back to ‘normal’.

Rarely preaching much that is relevant to preparing the flock for the coming Revival, or End Times, or Return.

Even more rarely, welcoming an Evangelist, or a Healing Ministry; and definitely not welcoming a Prophet or Deliverance Ministry.

After all, any of these might give people ideas way above their current level of understanding!

The gifts of the Spirit are eschewed and put down the moment they start to show themselves. Indeed, in many denominations, these gifts are deemed ‘demonic’ and firmly repelled.

The Church keeps the flock on milk and never feeds them meat. Exceptions are rare, even though becoming less so.

So, I asked The LORD, almost despairingly, about this.

“This is a spirit of stubbornness and disobedience — rebellion by any other name.”

He said, “My Church is still in rebellion! Until My Church realises its true condition, and Repents, there can be no change.

Much of My Church is lukewarm. Worse the that — tepid and getting colder — and I will vomit them out of My mouth!

They shall have no place in Revival, no place at the Marriage Supper of The Lamb, and I will say to many of them, ‘Away from Me you evil doers — I never knew you!’

You, Watchman, warn them, for their very souls are in danger!

I don’t want to lose any of them, but I will hold the leaders responsible for not leading the flock, and I will hold many others responsible for their complete lack of discernment.

Unless they repent soon, it will be too late and I will pass them by — they shall not have any part in revival, and they shall even say that ‘this revival is not of God. but of the devil!’”

I felt The LORD’s sadness and His heavy Heart as He spoke these Words. He finished by repeating words I’ve heard many times before in a different context, “Tell them — and keep telling them until they heed My warning — and Repent!”

This I do now!

Having finished this Word, The LORD then gave me a Postscript.

I heard The LORD say to me, “Watchman, lift up your eyes to the horizon. What do you see?”

“I see fire all across the horizon, LORD!”

“Exactly. It is the Fire of Revival — and it’s headed your way! Prepare My People!”
