2023年4月23日 When The Lord Turns His Back - WarningThePeople
当上帝转背离去
今天赞美耶稣。我们要非常谨慎的行走在天父的旨意当中。耶稣已经为他的教会，就是被他呼召出来的人铺平了道路。我们知道怎样跟从他，怎样服从他。但是许多基督徒偏离了真理。他们追随了自己前辈、自己的老师、自己教会领袖的道路。他们没有追随上帝的灵，反而追随了死的宗教。以色列民族不仅在被掳到巴比伦期间如此行，他们投靠埃及后也是这样做。正如我们所知，历史在不断地重复。当人们没有从错误中吸取教训时，历史总是往复循环的。美国人也没有从他们的错误中吸取到教训，所以我们注定像记载在圣经里的事情一样，总是在重复。上帝会转背离开人，包括邪恶的基督徒。事实上，上帝收回了向他们的慈爱和怜悯。
我想给你读一下，当上帝从一个民族，从一个人群，收回他的祝福会是怎样的情况，即使那群人曾经是他的子民，他曾经应许赐生命给他们。耶利米书16章记载了这些。
耶和华对耶利米说： “你不可在这地方娶妻，也不可生儿育女。 至于在这地方出生的孩子和他们的父母，耶和华说， ‘他们必死于恶疾，无人哀悼，无人埋葬，他们好像地上的粪便。他们必死于战争和饥荒，尸首必成为飞鸟和走兽的食物。’” 耶和华对我说：“你不要进入丧家为他们哀悼悲伤，因为我已收回我赐给这百姓的平安、慈爱和怜悯。这是耶和华说的。 他们无论尊卑都要死在这里，无人埋葬，无人哀悼，也无人为他们的死而割伤身体、剃光头发。 无人用食物和酒安慰哀悼者，甚至无人给丧父或丧母者一杯安慰酒。 你不可进入宴乐之家与他们同坐吃喝。” 以色列的上帝——万军之耶和华说：“在这百姓有生之年，我要使这地方的欢乐声和新郎新娘的欢笑声从他们眼前消失。“当你把这些话告诉他们的时候，他们会质问你，‘耶和华为什么给我们降这大灾难？’ (耶利米书 16:1-10 当代译本)
今天基督教教会也在说这样的话，“为什么你说上帝反对我们？上帝爱罪人，他爱我们，他会一直爱他自己的教会。耶和华为什么给我们降这大灾难？我们有什么罪？我们哪里得罪了我们的主上帝？”
你要对他们说，‘耶和华说，你们的祖先背弃我，去跟随、供奉、祭拜别的神明；他们背弃我，不遵守我的律法。 可是，你们的行为比他们更邪恶，一意孤行，不听从我。 所以，我要把你们从这里驱逐到你们和你们祖先都不认识的地方，你们在那里要日夜供奉别的神明，因为我不再恩待你们。’(耶利米书 16:11-13 当代译本)
当人们，包括属上帝的人，拒绝上帝，上帝也会拒绝他们。基督徒们会发现上帝已经拒绝了他们。他们并没有那超越人所能理解的平安，因为他们崇拜人，他们跟从人的道路。他们跟从自己的私欲，而不是全心寻求主耶稣，他们追随了宗教，按照宗教的方式生活。
这就是耶利米书17章中记载的。耶和华说：“信靠世人、倚靠血肉之躯、背叛耶和华的人该受咒诅！这样的人毫无福乐，像沙漠中的灌木。他要住在旷野中干旱无人的盐碱地。(耶利米书 17:5-6 当代译本)
今天有一大群的基督徒都在说：“你必须听从教会长辈的话，你必须遵循人的方式。”宗教人士全心相信着他们的长辈。他们全心相信人。但是信靠人的有祸了，那些不听从上帝，而是全心相信倚靠人的基督徒有祸了！作为耶稣的门徒，我们自己是否听到了主的声音？我们一直在祷告吗？我们每天都在与主同行吗？还是我们像基督教徒们一样相信教会？我们将信心寄于圣经上吗，认为这是更确定的上帝的话，因为那是我们的先辈说过的？我们在相信撒旦的谎言吗？我们在相信那些假教会宣扬的谎言吗？他们说“我们不能停止犯罪，因为这是圣经时代，所以我们不再能听到上帝的话”。我们的信心是在耶稣那里吗？他是我们的主和上帝吗？还是我们落入了偶像崇拜和罪恶之中？愿耶稣的恩典与你同在。
Well, praise Jesus today, everybody. We need to be very careful that we stay in the will of our Father in heaven. Jesus clearly has made the way for His church, His true called out ones. We know how to follow Him and how to obey Him. But many Christians have deviated from the truth. They have gone after the ways of their own forefathers, their own teachers, their own church leaders. They have chased after dead religion instead of after the Spirit of God. The nation of Israel did this also during the time of captivity in Babylon. They did this during the time of their captivity in Egypt. And as we know, history recycles itself. It repeats itself over and over again when people do not learn from their mistakes. Well, Americans have not learned from their mistakes either, and we are bound to repeat the same things that happened in Biblical times. God is going to turn His back on people, including Christians who are evil. He in fact, retracts His loving kindness and His mercy from them.
I want to read to you what happens when God retracts His blessing from a nation, from a people, even people that were once his, that He promised life to. So this is found in Jeremiah Chapter 16. 1The word of the Lord also came to me, saying, 2“You shall not take a wife, nor shall you have sons or daughters in this place.” 3For thus says the Lord concerning the sons and daughters who are born in this place, and concerning their mothers who bore them and their fathers who begot them in this land: 4“They shall die gruesome deaths; they shall not be lamented nor shall they be buried, but they shall be like refuse on the face of the earth. They shall be consumed by the sword and by famine, and their corpses shall be meat for the birds of heaven and for the beasts of the earth.”
5For thus says the Lord: “Do not enter the house of mourning, nor go to lament or bemoan them; for I have taken away My peace from this people,” says the Lord, “lovingkindness and mercies. 6Both the great and the small shall die in this land. They shall not be buried; neither shall men lament for them, cut themselves, nor make themselves bald for them. 7Nor shall men break bread in mourning for them, to comfort them for the dead; nor shall men give them the cup of consolation to drink for their father or their mother. 8Also you shall not go into the house of feasting to sit with them, to eat and drink.”9For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: “Behold, I will cause to cease from this place, before your eyes and in your days, the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride. 10“And it shall be, when you show these people all these words, and they say to you, ‘Why has the Lord pronounced all this great disaster against us?
This is the same thing the Christian Church is saying today. Why are you saying God is against us? God loves sinners. He loves us. He will always love His church.
Why has the Lord pronounced all this great disaster against us? Or what is our iniquity? Or what is our sin that we have committed against the Lord our God?’ 11then you shall say to them, ‘Because your fathers have forsaken Me,’ says the Lord; ‘they have walked after other gods and have served them and worshiped them, and have forsaken Me and not kept My law. 12 And you have done worse than your fathers, for behold, each one follows the dictates of his own evil heart, so that no one listens to Me. 13 Therefore I will cast you out of this land into a land that you do not know, neither you nor your fathers; and there you shall serve other gods day and night, where I will not show you favor.’
This is what happens when people, including the people of God, reject God, He rejects them. Christians will find that God has rejected them. They will not have the peace that passes all understanding, because they are idolizing men. They’re following the ways of men. They're following their own lusts. And instead of seeking the Lord Jesus with all their heart, they are seeking after religion and all of their ways.
This is what is written in Jeremiah Chapter 17. 5 Thus says the Lord: “Cursed is the man who trusts in man, And makes flesh his strength, Whose heart departs from the Lord. 6For he shall be like a shrub in the desert, And shall not see when good comes, But shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, In a salt land which is not inhabited.
Today we have a bunch of Christians saying, “You have to listen to the elders in the church. You have to follow the ways of man.” And the religious folks put all their faith in their elders. They put all their faith in men. But cursed is the man, cursed is the woman, cursed is the Christian who puts their faith and their trust in man and can't hear God. Do we, as disciples of Jesus, do we hear from the Lord ourselves? Are we staying in prayer? Are we walking with the Lord every day? Or are we like the Christians that have put our faith in church? Have we put our faith in the Bible, thinking that it is our more sure word of God, because that's what our forefathers have said? Have we believed lies from Satan? Do we believe the lies about everything that's being promoted in the False Church that we can't stop sinning, that we can't hear from God anymore, because that was in Bible times? Do we have faith in Jesus? And is He our Lord and God, or have we fallen to idolatry, iniquity? May the grace of Jesus be with you.
