Pastor Tim’s Blog

While reading in Judges today I couldn’t help feel prompted about the line, “Again the Israelites did evil in the eyes of the Lord.”  It is repeated many times through the book.  I felt the Lord impressing on my heart that what we see today is His people being controlled by others.  His people are being punished because they have not turned from their evil ways.  We have allowed the enemy to distract us with other gods. (media, sex, drugs, alcohol, possessions, and power)  The church will not be delivered completely by God until we have purified ourselves by confessing our sins on the altar of God.  Until we turn away from the other gods that we have unconsciously placed before the one and true God.  It will be at that moment when God will once again completely release His anointing on His church.  It will be at that moment the Church will again be able to expand the territory of  the Kingdom of God.
