They soon will be removed from the true Church.

. . . Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham’s children, ye would do the works of Abraham. (John 8:39)

Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. (John 8:42-44)

Here Jesus is informing the Jews who believed in him that Abraham was not their father; rather, Satan was their father.

On what basis? On the basis of the fact they practiced the works of Satan.

The same is true today. The church members claim to be born of God. Yet in many instances they show the works of Satan. They are the planting of Satan, not of God, although they are active members of Christian churches.

It is not what an individual believes or professes that is important. It is what he is as evidenced by what he thinks, says, and does and by the attitude he demonstrates. Religious talk is of little worth. The Kingdom of God is revealed in righteousness and power. Not everyone who calls Jesus, Lord will enter the Kingdom of Heaven.

Judgment is here—now. The removing of the tares from the wheat has begun. As the pressure increases, many who always have considered themselves Christians will discover, to their terror, that the right kind of motives and actions are not proceeding from them. They may perceive somewhat dimly what God is requiring of them and may realize they are not able to rise to meet the new challenges. Let all such seek God with all their strength because in doing so they may find the Lord.

If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work. (II Timothy 2:21)

They actually are in union with Satan. They have wasted the opportunities God has given them to be in union with Christ. This now is being revealed and the "dust" that they are is not able to resist the spirits that are in them. This will be true of numerous believers in the near future.

God is ready to move forward in our day, as we approach the coming of the Lord from Heaven. God desires a Church without defect of any sort. To accomplish the purifying and maturing of His Church the Lord will send much Divine Glory and much tribulation upon us.

In addition, God will pour out the latter rain of His Spirit so that the Gospel of the Kingdom may be preached to every nation for a witness.

There is no doubt that the Lord is speaking to the young people of our day, inviting them to press through into a greater portion of Kingdom power and glory than the Christian churches have known. The children and young people who answer the call of the Lord to discipleship will have an opportunity to be among those of first rank in the Kingdom of God. Powerful signs and wonders will follow their testimony.

The older believers, many of whom have never been disciples, who never have denied themselves, taken up their cross, and followed the Lord, are also invited to press into the greater fullness of God that now is available. There is deliverance for them in Mount Zion if they will humble themselves and pray. The Lord is able to bring them to a place of release from Satan.

We are too careless today. We are not serious enough. The Lord Jesus is far, far stricter than we realize. The time is at hand when it no longer will be possible to repent. Think about the following statement:
He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. (Revelation 22:11)

Each of us must cry to the Lord for mercy and for help as we are drawn toward sin by the enticements of our environment. Those who turn away from the call to repentance because of their belief they are one of God’s favorites will continue in deception until they stand before Christ.

When they come in contact with the terror of the Lord they will discover they have permitted themselves to be deceived. The Lord was not what they had been led to believe. Instead of going to the realms of light and glory when they die they will find themselves in a place of spiritual darkness, waiting for the Day of Judgment.
It is time now to seek the Lord, to repent, to turn away from the scornful attitude of the churches. Christian teaching and preaching is in error, having been perverted in several major ways.

The spiritual leaders may have little time left to consider seriously that they may be in error. In the days to come, all they have trusted in for security will be shaken. They will face the Judge, the Lord Jesus. Only then will they wake up to the fact they have been abiding in religious blindness (as was true of the Pharisees)— a blindness resulting from their lack of denying themselves, taking up their cross, and following the Lord Jesus in stern discipleship.

The hour of removal is here. The pressures will mount until men’s hearts are failing them for fear. Only those who truly are of God will stand. The wheat will be sifted until the finest of the grain is ready to be made into bread for God. The tares, the sensual Christians, will be gathered and burned in the fire of Divine judgment.

The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; (Matthew 13:41)

The Lord Jesus is ready to gather out of His Kingdom all things that offend. If we will allow Him to do so He will remove from our personality all that is offensive to Him. It is His good pleasure to do this for us, to give us the Kingdom.

But if we continue to ignore the need for repentance and deliverance, the day will come (and it may be closer than we know) when we ourselves are removed from the Kingdom of God.
Let us not harden our heart against the Lord Jesus. He is standing at the door of the heart of each believer. He is knocking.

If we hear His voice and open the door He will enter our heart and spread a banqueting table for us. His banner over us will be love.

But if we continue in the busy work of our church life, ignoring the call to personal communion with the Lord, and are not cleansed from the sin that is in us, we will be removed from the Kingdom of God and cast into the flames.

This is true even though we have "accepted Christ" and have received the baptism with the Holy Spirit, including speaking in tongues.

The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings? He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil; (Isaiah 33:14,15)

"The sinners in Zion are afraid"! "InZion "!

He who has an ear to hear, let him hear what the Holy Spirit is saying to the Christian churches in our day.
