Come out from among them, and be ye separate (2 Cor 6:17)

God's greatest desire is to live and walk amongst us. To be our God. To be a Father to us. His desire is that we get to know Him as we are already known by Him. Since we know these things we have been commanded to purify ourselves from anything which contaminates body and spirit. Walking in holiness out of reverence for our God. We live and work amongst unbelivers. It is not long before we are influenced into doing the very same things they do. The word of God no longer is our guide to making decisions rather we copy and excuse the very things that God hates. I had the task to visit a family who assured me that they were "Born Again" and great believers that Jesus was coming again they were fervant church members and do gooders. In the conversation they mentioned that their daughter had arrived back from Australia and had asked them to take her to a psalm reader, to tell her future. The whole family sat in as this women first consulted the "spirits" as to show her the young women's future. It seemed so interesting that before long the "Born Again" family all held out their hands to have their future read. The reason of my visit to this family was to warn them of God's coming judgement. I shared scripture showing them how much God hates the sin they have committed and that the word says; "The wages of sin is death". They all laughed it off. They again returned on several occassions to all have their psalms read, it seemed such fun, and oh so true. What the women failed to tell them was of God's coming punishment upon them. God dear friends, is not to be played with. It was not long when the mother who assured me of her status with God phoned to say that she had developed cancer and would I please come and pray for her healing. I waited on God in prayer and what came to me was "Touch no unclean thing and I will receive you". During my visit I had the difficult task of telling her that I could not pray for her. When asked why? I reminded her of the several times that I had warned her to stop the sin she was committing. I once again asked her if she understood that what she had done was sinful. She stopped for a moment looked at me and said, " I do not see anything wrong with what I have done'. What the psalm reader forgot to mention is that God was going to take her life. I left that home saddened that even though a person can profess to know God, God did not know them. She died shortly after that. Whilst her family were going through her belongings they found literature which I had given them against their sin. Some of the family members repented but others hardened their hearts. Please tell me what is wrong with this picture. What is wrong in the "Church". God's word is no longer a light unto their feet. Do not dear friend be yoked together with an unbeliever. What does righteousness and wickedness have in common. There is no such thing as a man made revival. When we as a people turn to God and lay off our sin and humbly begin to seek God, He will hear from heaven and send a God given revival to man. It is not too late to repent.
