REVIVAL
MEETINGS ARE USUALLY A SHEEP TOSS
A
pastor knows that every Fundamental Bible believing church has "Revival Meetings."
He may not know what is supposed to be accomplished in these meetings, but he
contacts an "evangelist," and books the man for some future date. When
the hired gun hits town, no one sees hide nor hair of him until they go to the
meetings. This alleged evangelist does not have any zeal to walk the streets and
meet the people of the town. He is a hit and run expert. Generally, the slob is
also a SLOW BELLY.
What
is his expertise? The alleged evangelist is not much of a soul winner. These are
bad times for mass evangelism if you don't make the compromises that Jack Van
Impe and Billy Graham made over the years. So, the evangelist preaches, night
after night, to sheep. He makes them slow, stupid, and dirty. He shows them how
nasty they are. He has NO interest in their sorrows. He never worked a lick in
his life. He hit the road right after Bible Institute, and he could not care less
why the sheep look whipped. The pastor is not much better, for he was taught at
Crown College that a pastor who works on the side, like the Apostle Paul, is a
failure.
So
the pastor and the visiting evangelist decide to have a sheep toss. They talk
privately about how hard it is to know who is really born again and who is not.
They discuss the lack of interest in visitation and faithful attendance, and they
are convinced this proves many of the sheep are, indeed, goats in disguise. With
this presupposition driving the evangelist, he preaches, night after night, a
message of doubt. He finds six dozen ways to help the sheep doubt their salvation,
and he finally manages to toss a bunch of sheep out of the sheep fold. He then
opens the door of the sheep fold wide and welcomes them back in.
They
weep a the altar, a few decide they were never saved, and others declare they
finally got assurance of salvation.
Blasphemy
!!
This
process is a demonic attack on God's Blood bought Bride of Christ. Here is the
message the alleged evangelist NEVER preaches:
Hebrews
10:35 Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of
reward.
36 For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will
of God, ye might receive the promise.
37 For yet a little while, and he that
shall come will come, and will not tarry.
38 Now the just shall live by faith:
but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
39 But we
are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the
saving of the soul.
If
you are a wandering vagabond evangelist who helps sheep doubt their salvation--
If you tell them you have no way to know if they are born again-- If you tell
them that you are permitted of God to try to bring doubt to their minds as if
you do them and the Lord a service--
IF
YOU REALLY BELIEVE SHEEP CAN BECOME GOATS AGAIN, YOU ARE DAMNED TO HELL.
You
do not trust sheep to stay sheep, so you don't believe Jesus Christ can keep them.
You beast. You wolf. You just want to carve notches on your gun and impress the
gullible fool pastor who hired you. YOU are the hireling. You are the one tossing
sheep over the wall into the cold and making them come weeping back where they
were warm and safe in the arms of Jesus. YOU do not believe Jesus Saves, for you
do not believe he keeps. Damnation on you !!
YOU
WILL SPEND ETERNITY WITH THE FOUNDER OF YOUR SHEEP TOSS DOCTRINE-- THE POPE.
Now,
to you who have been ripped and thrashed by these hirelings, I want to tell you
that you do NOT please God when you allow alleged pastors and evangelists to question
and defame your relationship with Jesus Christ. If you know you confessed your
faith in Jesus Christ as the Son of God, and if you trusted his death and resurrection
to wash your sin away and give you hope in this life and in heaven to come, then
stand on that. Don't let some four flusher with a two penny "Reverend"
on the front of his name rob you of your joy.
So,
you sinned, right? Well, go get clean. Go to I John 1:9, and confess your sin.
You don't need to go to the altar and get saved. You need to go through the sheep
dip and get clean, get de-bugged. In real life, when a shepherd has buggy and
dirty sheep, he runs them through the dip. He does not toss them out of the fold
and declare them to be goats. That is madness.
Next
time one of these wandering stars who claims to be "called to be an evangelist"
starts working your mind to bring doubt, take action. One of the following is
in order:
1.
Interrupt the fellow, and ask him why he is trying to destroy your faith in Jesus
Christ. When he says he does not know who is saved, holler right out, "Yo,
brother, I know I am born again. How can YOU prove you are born again if you don't
trust Jesus to keep me saved?"
2.
At least walk out. Or, stand and turn your back on the hireling.
3.
Tell the preacher later that he is an offense for bringing a sheep thrasher into
the Lord's Church to question people's salvation. Run the preacher off if he slaps
you around.
4.
Stand and read this text:
Isaiah
41:10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I
will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the
right hand of my righteousness.
11 Behold, all they that were incensed against
thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that
strive with thee shall perish.
Then
tell the hireling that if he keeps striving with born again sheep, trying to convince
them they can lose their salvation, Jesus Christ will throw him into hell, and
soon. Sit down and let the beggar roast in his juices.
I
think it is time for Bible believers to stand down these men who thrash sheep.
They need to know that all around the USA, indeed all around the world, there
are sheep who are bold in their zeal to trust the Good Shepherd to keep his word
to the sheep:
John
10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
28 And
I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any
man pluck them out of my hand.
29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater
than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.
TELL
THE CREEPS THAT GOD YOUR FATHER IS GREATER THAN THEM, AND NO DRIFTER WILL COME
INTO YOUR CHURCH OR TOWN AND ATTACK THE SHEEP WITHOUT YOU DEFENDING THEM.
POW!
MARK
IT DOWN
Where
is the hireling when the sheep need loving, feeding, and leading?
Or when
the sheep are wandering, like the one eating the wheat below?
Did
you ever wonder why so many pastors don't care to visit the homes
of the
saints?
Do
you wonder where the evangelist spends his time between meetings?
One
well known Bible teacher tells me this is where many evangelists
spend their
time:
BLESSED
QUIETNESS IS BEST FOUND IN MUCH ASSURANCE
