“Gird yourselves and lament, you priests; Wail, you who minister before the altar; Come, lie all night in sackcloth, you who minister to my God; For the grain offering and the drink offering are withheld from the house of your God.” Joel 1:13
By serving God through Jesus Christ, we are the priests and ministers before the altar. We are priests in the sense that we bring the Word of God to all who are willing to open the ears of their heart, spirit, and soul to the Gospel of Christ. We are ministers before the altar because the altar is the place where people come to give their life to God through Jesus Christ. As quoted, “But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy.” 1 Peter 2:9-10
As priests and ministers, we lament, wail, and mourn because the house of God is no longer serving Him through Jesus Christ. The churches of today no longer share the mercy, grace, Salvation, and eternal life of God. They no longer speak of the death of Jesus on the Cross for the remission of sin, no longer speak of how God raised Him from the dead after three days, and no longer talk of how He lives eternally with God. The churches no longer say that because He lives, all who believe in Him will live eternally with Him.
The global culture no longer honors our body (the house of God) as the home of the Holy Spirit, and they dominate the churches. Instead, they welcome the thing which gives them what to feel, think, say, and do. It replaces the human conscience and fills the world with traits of psychopathy. The masses around the world conform to the anti-Christian global culture as they are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do. The population of the world has become egocentric as they exalt their own authority over the authority of God. They feel no remorse and no guilt and feel no need for the remission of sin through Jesus Christ. Instead of embracing the Holy Spirit, they manipulate, dominate, and ridicule Him.
“….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,
‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’”
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
Revelation 2:24-25, 3:11
