Do you come to listen to ministry teachings but continue to play in the world thinking that somehow God approves of your sin? Do you have a habit of listening to what you ought to do and knowing what is the right path but continue to wander down the broad path to hell? Many are deceived by their hearts and think they are doing well but not really serving the Lord with their whole hearts. Many masquerade as Christians but indulge in sin frequently thinking that ignorance is an excuse when they have been presented with the basics but still refuse to follow them. Are you in danger of being given over to your sin because you love it more than Jesus and carry a spirit of pride thinking you are walking closer with Him than you really are? Do you continue to chase after what your flesh wants or what God wants? Are you ready to suffer the consequences in the coming judgments? Are you ready to give an account for what you do or don’t do? Are you ready to give an account for your excuses? Are you ready to be shown your sins? Do you understand what it means to touch no unclean thing? Do you understand what a contrite spirit even is? Do you understand humility? Do you think the Lord doesn’t see a haughty, selfish and spiteful heart? Do you support the ministries that tell you the truth or do you go ministry and prayer shopping to those that tell you what you want to hear to request prayers so you can continue doing what your flesh wants? Are you aware that what is comfortable isn’t always in your best interest or do you continue to dismiss what God is trying to show you? On this episode of the Innocence Redeemed podcast I will be taking off the gloves to present the reality to those who think they are walking upright but are really walking in disobedience because I have been seeing quite a bit of hypocrisy lately. This warning is simple; The bride shall be pruned and her garments cleansed because she continues to walk in her stubborn and stiff-necked ways and none of that is Christ-like at all.

Sadly, pathetically, and unfortunately, it has come to THIS. And way beyond just sooooooo very much NEEDED to be addressed and said in the sternest message / warning ever. Thank you, Ray!
• 1 Peter 4:17-18 (AMP)
17 For it is the time [destined] for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who do not respect or believe or obey the gospel of God? 18 And if it is difficult for the righteous to be saved, what will become of the godless and the sinner?
How many times have we been told and warned time and time again, to examine ourselves, the required steps to take, and the consequences of not following through and obeying. The questions asked of us, “What will YOU do?”, “What will YOU say?”, and to be careful (NOT be hasty) in what we answer, because it will be tested.
• Hebrews 10:31 (AMP)
31 It is a fearful and terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God [incurring His judgment and wrath].
Amen Sis. Well also let us also not forget what Jesus said about false worship -that is, not walking in truth.
Matthew 15:8-9 (KJV)
8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
If the Lord does not see Himself in our actions when it comes to one another and how we conduct ourselves, how are we honoring Him? And this is where the verses I read from Amos 5 come in;
14 Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live: and so the Lord, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye have spoken.
15 Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that the Lord God of hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.
20 Shall not the day of the Lord be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?
21 I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies.
22 Though ye offer me burnt offerings and your meat offerings, I will not accept them: neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat beasts.
23 Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols.
24 But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.
Note verses 21 & 23 specifically -because that is the false worship. Essentially saying one thing but doing another. Lip service is the plain way to say it.
Going to be some reposts coming. Stay tuned and Jesus Bless you!
Thank you again brother Ray for this timely message.
Jesus Bless you Shannon, thank you for listening.
Hello Ray!
I hope you are staying well, as challenging as it can be right now. I wanted to thank you for your podcasts, and what God has been giving you, for putting it out there. In particular, when I was listening to the podcast “Suffering For & Waiting On The Lord” I was really resonating with that message as this past season has been one of my hardest yet. In fact, I felt so beat down by the trials, where it was like one thing after another, however, listening to this podcast I can attest that I actually felt a healing in my chest just by listening to it. I didn’t expect that, because I’ve never really felt a healing in that degree through a podcast in general, but as I was listening and resonating with the sufferings – almost the entire time, I was being healed – knowing that other believers were also experiencing ! I was greatly blessed by it.
Jesus Bless you Caroline and thank you for your continued support. All Glory to God! I am Blessed to hear that the podcast on waiting for the Lord was a Blessing to you! =)
