Restoration is Now
Sadly, the word Christian has been diluted over the last 2000 years. The enemy has made what was originally intended to be a lifestyle into organized religion. A religion filled with souls that think Christianity is relegated to going to church every Sunday and giving their tithes. Is this not the same thing that has happened to the Jews of the Old Testament, who were punished for hypocrisy?
Man’s purpose on earth is to worship God in spirit and in truth. This is only accomplished by living a life that is holy and acceptable unto God (Rom. 12:1-2). Our sacrifices of praise only remain pure when our heart is pure and fully yielded to God (Hebrews 13:15). If God is in your heart, then His Word will come out of your mouth. For out of the heart proceeded the issues of life (Proverbs 4:23). And the tongue speaks that which is in the heart. This is trueworship, This is true praise!
God is calling for a renewal of vows; a renewed commitment to him. We must put off the religious mindset, and return to our first love. We are so far away, yet we are so close. God is saying, turn your heart back to me.. Remember the sweetness of the fellowship you once had when you first came to Christ. Take back your praise and worship that the enemy has stolen through deceits and trickery. Our Lord Jesus Christ is knocking on the door of your heart (Revelation 3:20) ; will you let him in?
