Come Out of Your Wilderness

It saddens me to learn that so many Christians and churchgoers do not know if they are saved, born again, or going to heaven, or if they know the importance of God's Word.

I saw God's people perishing because of their lack of knowledge of God.

I would ask, "e;Are you saved?"e; The answers would be, "e;I hope so.

I go to church, and I sing in the choir,"e; etc.

I would grieve at these answers. Some lack knowledge because no priority is placed on the Word of God or preaching the Word of God or reading the Bible.

I spoke in many churches, taught the Bible, and preached the Bible.

I found some perishing because they rejected the Word of God.

Some thought the message that was given from the pulpit on their day of worship was all they needed.

Some thought being baptized was the born-again experience.

Some thought going to the building was an act of salvation.

When the Holy Spirit taught me the truth, I was sorrowful each time I would visit a church.

I felt death, spiritual death. I prayed, "e;Lord, please teach Your Word or preach Your Word to the people.

Please let it be Your truth."e; I was burdened for years, and the Lord anointed me to be a part of serving His truth and His Word.

Thank you, God.2
