is quite stuck on doing things their way.
In some churches, where God usually finds great joy,
have become a stench from what they have deployed.
Being too concerned with pleasing men,
than the very One who forgave their sins.
Constructive criticism was not meant to harm
but to teach us when we should raise our arms.
Raising our arms in praise, for showing us,
through His One and Only Son, Jesus.
Our Heavenly Father, Creator, and Lord
is sifting His church with His mighty Sword!
The church today is not to be disarrayed,
while trying to follow in His ways.
Jesus is renewing His church’s hearts and minds,
showing them that they don’t have much time.
The pain experienced in the Body of Christ,
needs to rise and fight for what is right!
We, as His Body, need to adjust our focus,
instead of the feelings growing amongst us.
The insults, daily existent in our lives,
are causing friction, beginning with our pride.
How we receive them will depend upon our faith,
knowing they can be received in one of two ways.
God’s heart’s desire wants to build us up,
but Satan will use it as a tool against us.
My brothers and sisters, the end is near.
Which voice will you incline your ear?
Having a free-will gives us a choice,
as to the words used with our voice.
Our perception of how we receive what’s said
can speak to us through Jesus’ life and death.
When Jesus, our Lord, had risen from the dead,
this became an insult to Satan instead!
Constructive criticism, through God’s eyes, at best,
is like a raised flag putting the devil’s plans to death!
Which one will you be more receptive to,
constructive or destructive? It is up to you!
"And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity.
The tongue is so set among our members
that it defiles the whole body, and sets on
fire the course of nature; and it is set on
fire by hell."
James 3:6 (NKJV)
