Playing Church

My church, has relationship with Me become a game? Has relationship with Me become a play? Has relationship with Me, become one sided? Only what you can receive from Me? What has relationship with Me become to you My church?

Sin continues to fester within the walls of My church. Holiness has become a word distant from many minds of those who speak My name? Kingdom work has become a matter of lip service, and not heart business.

I love you so much My people, My heart beats with such delight for you, but why have you forsaken Me in order to play church? Why have you forsaken the times alone that we spend together? Why have you allowed yourself to become shaded by the world's sin? Why have you forsaken seeking your first love with all your heart, all your mind and all your soul?

Repent My church, and allow My Spirit to cultivate holiness within each of you again. Watch what you speak, watch how you act, do not allow the world to see you being jaded by evil influence.

Going through the motions will bring death upon your spirit. Going through the motions renders you powerless. It brings about a spiritual death within. Quenches My Spirit.

I am calling out to you My church to examine your hearts again. I will continue to call you back into My arms because of My Great love for you, but My heart breaks to see many of you My children playing church.

Leadership positions, ministries, service, but without a deep intimate relationship with Me. I do not want My people to pay me lip service. I want heart service. I have such a great plans for you My church, but you refuse to listen. You refuse to hear. You continue on your ways playing church.

I long to raise you up My church, but I am raising up a generation of those who do not go by great names, but those who truly know My heart.

My church, do you really know Me? Do you really know My heart? Do you really know what My Spirit is saying? For I am willing to speak to those who will listen.

Worship Me, not yourselves. Worshp Me in spirit and truth not your own desires.

Repent and turn back to Me. Be passionate My church about spending time with Me and seeking Me.

Fall before Me on your faces, laying all before Me, and crying out for a hunger and power that comes only from My throne room.

In desperation shall you receive. In pure desperation, hunger and revelation of My heart, shall you receive power from on high.
