Speak Life Into the Deadness!

As I look around at America today, my spirit grieves for what she has become. As I look at the condition of many churches today, it becomes easy to see why America has become as she is. The still deadness that exists among so many churches is frightening.

Certainly, on the outside, they have the appearance of being alive but on the inside they are filled with dead bones. The luxuries are flowing. Entertainment for everyone. Sugar-coated preaching creeping out of the mouths of false teachers and preachers making everyone feel real good about themselves even in the midst of their sinning.

Perhaps, I am talking to you today? Maybe you feel this same dryness and deadness? You are experiencing a hungering and thirsting for truth? You are leaving church every Sunday wandering why you waste your time going? The deadness around us is causing a stench to arise to heaven. Many are turning away from their churches, some to never return. People are sick and tired of the appearance of life that is obscuring the deadness that lies underneath.

GOD commanded Ezekiel to “SPEAK LIFE” into the dry, dead bones (Ezekiel 37). As he did, a rattling was heard and life came forth. I am often asked if there is any hope for America today. My response is always, the only hope for America is JESUS and the only hope for America to find JESUS is for the church to arise in truth; to become a house of truth, repentance, and a total re-dedication back to GOD’s truth no matter how offensive it may seem to be to our lives.

Israel stood at a crossroads, a defining moment in their history. As a nation, their future hung in the balance. But GOD, in His great love for her, sent Hosea with words of truth and revival. He said: “As surely as the sun rises, he will appear; he will come to us like the winter rains, like the spring rains that water the earth” (Hosea 6:3). GOD has a desire to fall fresh on America in the same way. He desires to rain down His power and presence on us in a fresh way; if, we will turn away from our sinfulness, our wickedness, and the contentment that has been allowed to fall upon us.

1 Chronicles 16:11 tells us to: “Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always.” I want to encourage you to look to the LORD, look to the strength of the LORD, and to seek His face while there remains an opportunity. Find your hope in Him. Today, I speak life into the deadness that is surrounding us. I speak life into your life today as you seek Him in spirit and in truth!
