"Cardiac Arrest!"
October 8, 2003, 1: 45 pm.

My Church, as it is, has not passed this way before…(Joshua 3: 4b). Pretty programs, upright teaching, cushioned seating, yes, My people have lacked no good thing!

I have hand-fed My people with milk and honey! I have covered the backs of those who have ensnared themselves, and spread My blanket over the nakedness of My people.

Yet, now, it will be different! Now, I will expose nakedness, now I will divulge their secrets and reveal their sin! I do not do this to bring harm; I do this to remove the sin from among them!

I do not come only with a hand of judgment, but I come with one hand on the head of the Church (hierarchy, leadership) and one hand on the heart of the Church, performing surgery, a by-pass, re-routing the arteries of the heart, cleansing the Church from the plaque that has brought cardiac distress! Then shall they be called MY CHURCH!

For My people have eaten the fat of the land and have become stout-hearted and unmoved by My Word and My voice!

Some have attempted to alter their diet, exercise their gifts and feed on My precepts and yet, a few have succeeded to know My ways!

Has not the Church determined who would prophesy? Have not My people decided who would bring forth the Word? Have not the leaders forgotten by Whom they are named and appointed complacent ones to minister to My people?

For this reason, the wounds of My people are healed slightly, (Jer. 8: 11), soothed with ointment, bandaged, appearing to be well. But there is no soundness in their bones, their marrow is hollow and their joints are aching!

My people need mothers! My people need fathers! My people need nurturing and loving! They need leaders who will cry with them, and leaders who will rejoice with them!

My people do not need shepherds who are too busy to listen, too lofty to pray and too overwhelmed to stand!!! My people do not need injections of pride-induced sermons singing tunes of “Look what we have done!” My people do not need another convention, seminar or prayer meeting that feeds off the I.V. drip of man’s imaginations!

What My people need are vessels that are willing to lay down their lives for the sheep! Leaders who are not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ! Leaders who are willing to refuse fleshly desires and follow Me! Leaders who are willing to humble themselves and prostrate themselves before Me!

Do you not know that all this has come about while My leaders have "played Church!!!" It is no wonder why the media, the world institutions and the financial establishments have mocked My ways! For, if just one had stood for righteousness and sounded the alarm, could not great tragedy have been diverted?

My watchmen have been busy about many things! Meetings have become their inspiration and notoriety has become their pursuit! While My walls crumble and disintegrate, while whole cities and territories are open plunder to the works of darkness, My walls are desolate, in disrepair, in need of fresh mortar. Where are the caretakers, willing to watch, willing to sound the trumpet, willing to warn the saints? (Ezekiel 33: 2-6)

Hear My Words, My beloved! Whole denominations will fall if My people do not heed these words! FEAR GOD, CAST DOWN YOUR IDOLS AND WORSHIP ME!!! I always warn My people through My prophets! (Amos 3: 7).

Will you hear? Will you allow Me to breathe into your sanctuaries, visit your boardmeetings, attend your conventions?

Let those who have an ear hear what the Spirit says to the churches!
