The more our country turns from God the more chastisement we can expect to fall upon our country.. But not seeming to comprehend this, we spin away more each day and seem blind to the judgment that is already upon us... and that more is coming down the road..  ...

I Speak often to other preachers.. This word to all you God called Preachers.. Has it hit you yet that you are a chosen vessel…

Acts 9:15: “But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel.”

Your name will never appear in the Bible nor will the names of Billy Graham or Charles Spurgeon But few would doubt that they were chosen vessels... No.. You are not another Apostle Paul, and neither am I .. But chosen vessels nevertheless..

When this understanding really hits you.. You will be a better preacher because great confidence in the Lord will also be yours...  Man Of God..  Chosen Vessel of God... you are given power to stand before Kings and speak if called upon by God to do so.. 

So do not be afraid to stand in a time like this The United States of America needs you as perhaps never before…  But herein also lies a great danger that many God called preachers fall into.. There is the call of Satan himself to you that you allow your confidence to become arrogance and dependence on self... I fear that many preachers have gone down that road and have become of little use to God because of it..   But having said that let me quickly add these words..

I have lived the past fifty five years around and with preachers..

I have been with them often in public and in private.. I have been with them in happy times and in sad times.. In good times and in bad times.. And I can tell you for sure and certain that they are just men and not gods..

They are subject to the same temptations sins and failures that all other men are subject too.. and all have failed and come short of the Glory of God ...and some have messed up badly and have forfeited their right to stand in a pulpit and preach..

But having said that...

Most God-called preachers are worthy of special praise, honor and appreciation.. Now here is a question for all of us.. Do you really honor your preacher as a true Man Of God.... Here are words spoken about Elisha long ago by a woman who held him in high esteem and regard..

2 Kings 4:9: And she said unto her husband, Behold now, I perceive that this is an holy man of God, which passeth by us continually.”

This I can say to you without reservation. If more people and more churches felt this way about their godly pastor today the local Church would be in far better shape and so would our country and our homes.. Yes.. Pastors sometimes cause churches great grief.. But if you sense that your preacher is a man of God.. then treat him as a man of God should be treated..  

Do you also perceive that a holy man of God passes by you continually... 

The hope of our great country is not to be placed in the hands of our president or our government because that is the path to our downfall..   Folks..   The hope of our country is in the God that the men of God who walk among you preach..  

So then Listen to that man of God you call preacher..  and if he is unfit to speak of God.. or fails to preach the Bible to you..  Get rid of him and get you a preacher who is a man of God.. 

And So Here I Stand
