Chapter 12: Wake Up!

I now repeat for you point by point the entire five point message that
God gave me to deliver to this world today.

Point Number 1: For those who call themselves Christians, this is the Laodicean Church Age in which
we live. A high majority of so-called Christians are, in fact, living a deceived life. They talk
Jesus and play church, but do not live it. They claim to be Christians and then live
like the devil. They have bought the great lie from Satan who tells them that they are alright. He
tells them that it is alright to go to church on Sunday and attend mid-week services but as far as
the rest of the time is concerned, they are to get all they can out of life. As far as their
Christian life is concerned, they believe they are comfortable and have need of nothing and as a
result, they are only lukewarm Christians if Christians at all.

Point Number 2: Satan is a personal devil.

Point Number 3: To the whole world, this is Noah's second day. As it was in the days of Noah, so
shall it be in the days of the coming of the son of man. Humans took no thought of what Noah was
saying
nor did humans believe that anything was about to change. Humanity could see the storm clouds over
the horizon, but yet did not believe the rain was imminent. Notice the close parallel today.
Humanity can see all the signs of the last days, yet humanity does not believe that anything will
change. He does not believe in the impending coming of our Lord and he does not prepare to meet
God."

Point Number 4: For those who claim to be Christians, they are supposed to be ambassadors for
Christ here on earth. One cannot have any true witness or power in his life unless that one lives
his Christian faith at all times, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. To be a true
Christian one must live it, not just talk it. To honor God with your lips and not your heart is not
acceptable. Those who accept the responsibility of teaching, preaching, or any leadership role have
much for which to answer.

Point Number 5: God is now in the process of recruiting an army with which God will shake this old
world one more time. By working through his soldiers, God will produce great miracles that will shake the established hierarchy of
the so-called organized religion that is in this world today. These soldiers that God is now
recruiting will demonstrate the power of God to a greater extent than did the disciples in the
Pentecostal age. Now the recruitment has begun in earnest because God is about to perform the great
miracles through his army that God promised us God would do in the Bible. John the Baptist brought
the spirit of Elijah into this world and he did not even know he had it. John denied it, but Jesus
confessed that it was so. The purpose of that spirit was to make straight the paths of the coming
of the Lord.

"The Alpha and Omega, the Cause of all the universe's existence was hurting because a mere Earth
child was hurting. Oh, what Love! What Understanding! It was so far beyond anything a mere
Earthling can understand. Oh how precious just one, little, insignificant Earth child is to that
Great God" – Howard Pittman

Detained for Entry

Pastor G Craige Lewis described entertainment in his video The Truth Behind Hiphop 6 as containing two words 'detained' and 'entry'. So in short entertainment can be described by the phrase 'detained for entry'. So as we detain ourselves infront of the telly or radio, what are we allowing to enter? Just think about it for a moment... What is there nowadays on the airwaves???

So, the next time I/you sit to watch your favorite program, evaluate the themes that it is teaching you... Love or lust, contentment or covetousness, morals or immorality, peace or fear, love or malice, godliness or carnality. I must admit this wasn't an easy message to hear, having been a tube addict since forever, i had to reconsider what i was feeding myself...

He went on further to say that we get so clouded in entertainment that we forget the things of God, we don't have the desire to seek, follow or love God and we find ourselves compromising on so many things. The next time you feel like this, check what you're feeding yourself.

Thanx for taking the time to read this, let me know how entertainment has detained you...
