the righteous are bold as a lion Preacher's Corner With... Pastor Matthew Allen Kingdom Minded Fellowship
God is positioning the righteous for a Kingdom takeover that is going to make a mark which can't be erased. This positioning and takeover will no doubt upset the religious order and leaders of today. The righteous sons that God is bringing forth today are truly bold as a lion because they know who they are and whose they are. They are not crowd pleasers nor are they afraid of and intimidated by the schemes and devices of the wicked. It's not the devil that the righteous have to contend with everyday but it's the wicked; often when we hear or think about the wicked we see them as the ones not having a relationship with Yeshuwa Messiah or those outside of our religious church settings and gatherings. But isn't it interesting that when "Jehovah" the God of Israel spoke about the wicked in II Chronicles 7:14. He made known who they are. II Chronicles 7:14. If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. Jehovah says that they are my people and He wants them to turn from their wicked ways. The word wicked: in the Hebrew is (ra', rah, or aven,); which has several meanings as follows: bad, evil, adversity, affliction, calamity, + displease, distress, + exceedingly great grief, harm, heavy hurt, mischief, misery, naughty, noisome, + not pleased, sadly, sore, sorrow, trouble, vex, worse, wretchedness. Also the word wicked means to be twisted: as we have men today twisted in their way of thinking and manner of operation. It also means Wicca: the Apostle Paul dealt with this Wicca spirit as he spoke to the Galatian church, he says in Galatians 3:1. "O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?" Our so called Christian Nation and most of the Christian church leaders of today appear to be of the mind-set that they can live and do as they please because they often call on the name of Jesus. Thereby God through His grace and mercy is supposed to bless, protect and provide for them as they continue in their wicked ways. God is not nor will He ever be impressed or mesmerized by man's religious titles, the size of their congregations and how well we can exegesis the scriptures or proclaim that we are a Christian nation. James 2:19. Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. For any leader be that Governmental, Civic or Religious to publicly declare Yeshuwa Messiah as their Lord and Saviour, and are still living a compromised hidden agenda life God sees and calls them wicked. In the eyes of man such a leader may appear to be the most Godliest, distinguished, eloquent speaking person there is; but in their own hearts they know who they really are, and it's only a matter of time before their pay day catches up with them. The enemy is wreaking havoc in this (once again) Christian country; he's taking out our young men and women left, right and centre from of kinds of diseases, violence, and crime because he sees and knows the state of the churches and their leaders. He knows that because of the condition of their hearts and the working of their flesh they are in no position to bind or rebuke him. Now! There are some leaders from whatever side of the track they might hail from who would be offended at my saying this; and as always I'm glad that you are offended. Whenever there are any morality issues, unethical practices or integrity questions to be addressed and dealt with in any organization (especially) the church, and for the leaders of that and the other churches of that city to wimp out from calling such person or persons into accountability, then the entire church community is as guilty as the said person or persons. I Corinthians 5:6. "Know ye not that a little leaven, leaveneth the whole lump." No longer can leaders hide behind a few scriptures to avoid giving account for the ability (accountability) that God and the body of Christ have entrusted them. For years wicked church leaders have hid behind and threatened God's people as they took Psalm 105:15. Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm; out of context to have their way and do as they pleased. But Romans 8:14. Says that; "For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God." There are sons of righteousness that will not be denied nor will they be silent; for they are as bold as a lion. In Matthew 7:22-23. Here's what Yeshuwa said to those who had only a form of godliness; 22. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23. And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
