The second reason for failure in the church is the refusal to acknowledge at what God is angry at. For the wrath of God is revealed against all ungodliness. We have lost the understanding that at the core of our being lies the desire to disobey God and live a life that makes God angry.
So busy have we been in “There is no condemnation” that we fail to realize God condemns all ungodliness, and so by improper use of that verse we go and do the things that displease God and hope to get away with it.
Some churches no longer teach that if you live a life of sin even as a Christian and refuse to repent then your salvation shall be withdrawn.
What has happened ?
By false teacher and lying doctrines people have withdrawn their hearts from God believing they have it all, and yet have lost it all. For where the heart is there is your treasure.
How can you receive the things of God when you live a double life style? How can you receive things from God when you are greedy for the things of God?
We can blame everyone and everything for our errors but at the end of it all God judges us by what we do not how it started

The Lord God has a plan that can restore any established church to a true biblical fellowship as seen in the New Testament. First you need to accept that their is a worldwide deception from the enemy that almost every church fell for. It is a simple thing this deception but every problem is created in part by it and recreated every meeting.

The deception is to combine the biblical meeting together of the believers with the biblical activity or activities of taking the word to those who do not live according to the Word of God. So you think you are doing both of these things at church but the reality is if you try to both you are accomplishing neither.It removes Christ as the true leader and makes man-control necessary. The Holy Spirit can never has His way with the group. False worldly worship replaces true worship. Discipleship is undermined by the constant compromise necessary when you include people in the meeting who do not obey Jesus. People will end up thinking you don’t need to do everything Jesus says because that is standard set for church attendance.

I can go on with list but you get the idea. It is all a result of one simple but devestating deception.

Matthew 25:13 (KJV), “Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh”.

Psalm 141:3 (NIV), “Set a guard over my mouth, O LORD; keep watch over the door of my lips”.

There are not many things we can count upon, but there is one thing for sure, the one thing that we can depend upon, is this:

Hebrews 13:8 (KJV),

“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever”.

Before Jesus gave His commission to His disciples He said an very interesting thing.
Jesus said all power and authority are given unto me.
This tells me
The disciples have no authority of their own
The disciples have no power of their own
There is only one Dominion (kingdom) but Christ’s therefore any seeking to establish a kingdom is foolishness for Christ’s is already established
Any raising up as having our own authority (even in Christ’s name) is unacceptable
Any seeking power is unacceptable
Notice the importance Jesus places here
The most important thing for disciples is to honor and worship Jesus first (laying our lives down for Christ)
The second importance is obedience, then Jesus talks about receive ability to complete his orders.
The church has been preoccupied with sending and power but it has lost its primary objective making Jesus master first.
So preoccupied have we become with lost souls that our own souls are crying for affection and comfort, until we make Jesus Lord and Master in our lives that crying for affection will be unanswered. The primary function of man is to worship God not to go and preach the gospel.
You worship God and fall in love with Him you can’t help but pass His praise unto your next door neighbor, you try to tell your neighbor and not worship he won’t listen for your toward God is cold.
One of the things the Lord revealed to me after I left church is that the hearts of people were not toward Him but had gone elsewhere. So in order for things to come back the way the should be Jesus Christ must become the most prize possession we have. Living within His limits placing our pride in Him. then when that is accomplish we will go and do as He directs and whatever we need to accomplish that purpose will be supplied.
