The double-minded church
But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does….(James 1:6-
The church of the 21st century is double-minded, and lacks the type of faith and expectancy required to please God.
Without faith, no one can please God.
Oh God! Are we really so double-minded as you say at our core?
Yes.
Oh God! Forgive us. Release us. Forgive me of my lack of faith, for my lack of expectancy, for my lack of gumption, for my lack of pleasing you, for everything I do or think that does not please you, that does not give glory to you……I repent, and ask for your forgiveness, but you well know that in myself there is no faith, there lies nothing good. Any true faith, any good thing is a gift from you. I only know you and love you because of what you have done in me first. Please Lord, give me YOUR faith, give me your gifts of faith, gifts of knowledge and discernment - along with expectation and knowlege of my authority in you, my ‘exusia’ - and the moral fibre to exercise these for the release of your kingdom here on Earth.
God, forgive me, forgive your church…..have mercy. Do not smite us as we deserve but rather release us Lord from satan’s trap. May the church asks that she WILL recieve and SEEK with open and devoted hearts that she MAY find, and knock so the kingdom of heaven will be opened…that she may see heaven opened and your glory come down on the nations. May she be stable in all she does instead of weak, doubting and to all extent impotent. Release the double minded church, release her, release her. Release her from her rags, and anoint her head with fine oil…that she may give glory to you forever.
Oh God! Free your church, release it into true faith that your church may please you once again. Forgive us, Lord, for we know not what we do. We are blind and impotent and need your light and your guidance in these dark times.
Hello,
I am really enjoying reading your messages and i thank God for you because you will wake us up and keep us alert that we are not found lacking when Christ comes back.
Be blessed and please pray for Africa especially my country Kenya we need Gods intervention in all areas starting from family life to government.
Thank you in advance
May God bless you richly with every good thing, and pour out His Spirit upon you that you may testify to His name with great power and boldness and continue testifying even when persecution comes. Do not hold back.
It seems everyone is coming down on the catholic church? Am I right? But in the meantime, take a good look at all the evangelists on tv who use the church funds for their own pleasings, “fake” heal people, and call themselves Christian?
Not to mention, the radical Muslims who believe it is their job to kill Christians! Or any other “infidel” Their Muhammad did not follow scripture as Jesus Christ did. He married how many times??? MANY! and to a child! What was she like 12? and having sex with her???? Poor girl. Is this the scripture we were taught in the bible?? IT is Not anything like Jesus taught us. Jesus healed people, helped sinners to repent, was kind to them. “Whoever of you without sin shall cast the first stone” (there is no human being on this earth right now without sin!) Come on people, let’s use our common sense. The devil is blinding us.
I realize the Catholic church doesnt have it all right,(dates, days of feasts) NO one religion has it all right! when it comes down to it, whenever i go to church on Sunday, i cant find anything but worship for God,thanks to Jesus, kindness, and people trying to better themselves and their daily lives. And the priest helping people to be Christ-like. Christians.

No, not everyone. The voices in the church against the Catholic church are actually very small - most have bought into apostasy and the false doctrine of ecumenicism. I have written several articles on the RC church though.
Yes, I have, and I have written many more articles against the greedy ‘protestants’ than I have against Roman Catholicism. However I was brough up a RC, and know it is a counterfeit Christianity that is antichrist and does need opposing.
But by your own (false) argument you have ‘thrown stones’ at the TV evangelists and Muhammed! But it is not Ok for me to speak against Catholicism because you think ‘they’ are OK? Is this not just a tad bit hypocritical?
Anyway, you need to find out the difference between ‘judging’ somebody in the sense what Christ was talking about, and between discerning and judging, speaking out against error and rebuking.
Lynn, please study the Bible which speaks strongly against Catholic doctrines. Far from leading people to Christ, priests lead them away from the truth.
