Spiritual Coma: Time To Awake The 5 Senses

Much of the church has been in a spiritual coma, but God is about to speak to the BODY so thunderously that those who have fallen asleep will experience a Great Awakening. I heard someone say, “Everyone struggles with sin, but we just don’t act on it.” I am here to tell you, God is a God of deliverance, not abstinence. We abstain from temptations we still want to entertain deep within our wounded souls; we are delivered when we despise this behavior and desire Jesus above and beyond this pitfall. I speak not from judgment but from compassion for those who continually give in to temptation, as a dog returns to its vomit, so a fool repeats his folly (Proverbs 26:11). We are all fools in some area of our lives because a fool lacks understanding. When we are truly awakened to the deep-rooted truths behind how we respond, we’ll never go back to that same sin. I believe the church feels this way because they haven’t seen leaders, or those within their circle, overcome it. I’ve heard many leaders consistently say from the pulpit that they are always wrestling with the same sin. It’s as if the words from the Apostle Paul, “thorn in my flesh,’ are used as a spiritual crutch across the board. 2 Corinthians 12:7. Many pastors have run with this one statement and carry a “grace card” in their pockets. When they “circle back” to this same sin, they reach in their pockets and pull the grace card. This powerless preaching has infused the sheep with apathy. Apathy is a lack of interest or concern and permeates the atmosphere with passivity. So no one will criticize this behavior; they will sympathize with and support it. There is one in particular who shares from his pulpit that he struggles with pornography, but God’s grace covers him. This is what I am speaking of! Get out of the pulpit and get help! Deliverance is available to those who love Jesus more than they love their sin. Grace is not a covering, but a place of positioning (Hebrews 4:16). Paul is explaining not only the compassion and mercy of our Lord Jesus, but also that He sympathizes with our weaknesses. But continue reading. He was tempted in every way without sinning. So we are not encouraged to go to the cross for a dress rehearsal. Let’s try on this garment of grace, then head back into the world and see if it works. We go to the cross to get whatever we need for life and godliness. He alone has the answers and the breaker anointing to overcome all temptations. His record proves He has something we don’t! Grace is not a license to keep sinning, but the power to break it off!
Our senses have been dulled, and discernment is almost nonexistent within the church. Those who call themselves prophets are sharing platforms with sexual predators, and yes, some are sex traffickers. Because they have been given a platform to teach, either they are complicit in knowing who they are associated with, or they have no idea, because the fame they get from these platforms sears their conscience, and they can’t discern the evil around them. That’s about to change: if you truly desire pure truth and seek it out, truth will always find you. Those who avoid truth know full well it will illuminate every false motive they carry. The problem is, for many, truth comes in a package they didn’t expect. Surely God would not use a non- believer to speak, or a former porn star (Madyson Marquette), or a housewife no one knows. Surely God would use only the well-known prophets who’ve made the all-time prophets lists as His mouthpiece. Or the ones that hear from Him every day, and post lengthy dreams and visions that take an hour to read. Senses have been dulled because it’s been the same method, and the same vessels over and over, with no long-lasting results. The vessel carrying your much-needed truth may not be the one you expected. Even concerning the matters of the White House and our nation, many evangelicals have been unable to believe or accept President Trump as the nation’s vessel God has chosen. Therefore, they’ve led their sheep straight to the slaughter through their own personal rejections and dulled senses. Why are others pushing the vaccine as “God’s method of healing?” I tell you this day: vessels of honor, unmedicated and uncontaminated, have been sent to awaken the body. Again, because some of them are not “known” in the popular, preachy circles, they are being ignored, but not for long!
Many of you have been rejected as your senses are wide awake, yet those familiar with you cannot hear your truths. Seeing, they can’t perceive. Hearing yet they cannot receive, Smelling yet you’re a stench to their nostrils. Tasting their taste buds, yet have been satiated by false nutrition. The Presence of truth permeates their atmosphere, yet they can’t feel Him.
Be expecting, because 2021 is the year of the church. The world is about to witness that the God we proclaim is full of mercy and long-suffering. He has seen His bride in a coma, and Sleeping Beauty is about to receive a kiss from heaven that will stir up all her God-given senses and will bring the body to life once again. She will return to her first love. The lover of our souls will awaken the Bride of Christ with one kiss from heaven to see, hear, feel, smell, and taste, and to see that the Lord is so very good. He loves His church, and she’s about to experience the wake-up call she’s been long awaiting. (original post in 2020)
