When you read the Word of God, It continually reminds all the followers of God to return to obedience. Romans 1:5 (KJV) By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name:
Before the leaders and the present Church can go forward, they must be restored. It will take the Holiness of the total fivefold gifts of God to bring about this restoration. The Church and its Leaders must come to recognize the need for them to be restored and that the same restoration must work within others in the Body of Christ.
The Body of Christ and the Present Church have been filtrated by those things listed in the Seven Churches of Revelation. This infiltration has brought about the characteristics of lovelessness, suffering, worldliness, wrong doctrine, spiritual deadness and complacency. These attributes have caused the Body of Christ to become spiritually dead. Now is the time to “Awake”.
Romans 13:11 (KJV) And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.
1 Cor. 15:34 (KJV) Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.
The Restoration of the present Church and its Leaders will bring about the anointing to break the power of spiritual sleep over the people. This spiritual sleep has caused the Word of God to be hid today. Isaiah 29:9-14 (KJV) Stay yourselves, and wonder; cry ye out, and cry: they are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink. [10] For the Lord hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers hath he covered. [11] And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I cannot; for it is sealed: [12] And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned. [13] Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men: [14] Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.
The time to sound the trumpet is now. Each Leader must make a decision to sound the trumpet against sin. Isaiah 58:1 (KJV) Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins. Once you awaken then it is your turn to sound the trumpet. Luke 22:32 (KJV) But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.
You will be approached by others to tell you not to sound the trumpet, but you must not be deceived. God said to sound the trumpet against sin and sin nature. If the trumpets are not sounded, many will be deceived. The spirit of deception is now moving in the Body of Christ. God has spoken as to what the Church and its Leaders will face in the latter days. One of the latter day movements will be deception.
Matthew 24:24 (KJV) For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
Mark 13:5-6 (KJV) And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you: [6] For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
God does not want anyone to perish.
Ezekiel 33:11 (KJV) Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel? Therefore the Body of Christ must come forth to take their position. God has pre-warned us through His Word concerning the great falling away. 2 Thes. 2:3 (KJV) Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
The Word of the Lord: “Come closer to me with holiness and righteousness. I am ready to restore each of you. Bring your heart to me and not your garments. The cleansing of your heart will bring about holiness, righteousness and restoration.” Joel 2:12-13 (KJV) Therefore also now, saith the Lord, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning: [13] And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the Lord your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.
