Fear God and the Wrath of God! REPENT!!!!

I cannot believe all the liberties churches, organizations, and individuals are taking with displaying something that purports to be something that God Himself is supposedly saying, but content that is not scripture and is not God's Word!

I have seen a rash of signs along the roads as I travel (often in front of churches) with one message after the other as if they came from God Himself. Many actually are indicating that they are signed by or quoting God, as there is a little " - God" at the bottom. Ocassionally I see them on Billboards and on bumper stickers.

Where has the fear of the Lord gone? Doesn't anyone fear the wrath of God anymore, that even preachers and religious people are not afraid to speak in God's name, and to put words in God's mouth (that He never ever uttered)??!!!!

I cannot help but remember how serious the Lord God is about the use of His name, about the seriousness of the Words that He has spoken, and the awesome fear we should have in paying attention to, and obeying, and revering the revealed Word of God in His Word - the Bible.

I think of those who offered strange fire before the Lord and were consumed by fire. Those who offered prohibited worship before the Lord and were struck with leprosy. We should be so careful with the Word of God, ...to understand that we do not have the authority to change one jot or one tittle of it. To understand that not one Word goes forth from His mouth and returns void. That if you have to believe on or bet on anything, you can believe the Word of God - that it is truth, and that what God has spoken - it will be done.

I urge one and all to be careful when quoting scripture. To be careful to be literal in the speaking of God's word. To be careful and respectful and reverential before God as we read and share His word. In truth we have no rights to speak for God nor to attribute anything to Him that He did not say. And we need to fear His righteous and certain judgement if we do not do so, or if we take this kind of activity without the seriousness one should possess in doing so.

I would tell you tonight that I implore you to:
REPENT OF EVIL, FEAR GOD, AND KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS!!!!
Ecc 12:13, Deut 6, Deut 8

"It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God."
Hebrews 10:31

And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last.” Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city.

But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie. “I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star.” And the Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely.

For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming quickly.” Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus! "
Revelation 22:12-20
