We must gather into the temple of the Holy Spirit and cry out to Him.

“Consecrate a fast, call a sacred assembly; Gather the elders and all the inhabitants of the land into the house of the Lord your God, and cry out to the Lord.” Joel 1:14

The churches of today should be fasting and restoring a sacred congregation within their building. Fasting means to abstain from behaviors that separate from belief in God. To abstain from behaviors that reject the remission of sin through Jesus Christ, and to abstain from behaviors that ridicules the presence of the Holy Spirit. The sacred assembly includes we who believe in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We believe that Jesus Christ died on the Cross as the Lamb of God to atone for sin. We believe that God raised Jesus from the grave after being dead for three days. We believe that our lord Jesus lives today in eternity. We believe that because He lives, we will live also in eternity with Him. We believe that God loved the world and sent His Son Jesus Christ to atone for sin and whoever believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.

As followers of the Lord Jesus Christ, we are the temple of the Holy Spirit, we are the house of the Living God. “Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?” 1 Corinthians 3:16 Every person on this planet should be gathering in the temple of God to dedicate the human body to Him through Jesus Christ by the remission of sin.

The Holy Spirit assures us of this, “…if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to prayer made in this place. For now I have chosen and sanctified this house, that My name may be there forever; and My eyes and My heart will be there perpetually.” 2 Chronicles 7:14-16

As the sacred assembly, we should be crying out to God for the shambles this world has made of the Gospel of Christ. We should be expressing our mourning over the thing which gives people what to feel, think, say, and do as it enables the image of the beast to live and speak through people. It replaces the human conscience and causes traits of psychopathy to flourish globally. We should be expressing our sadness that people conform to the global culture as they are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do.

We should be mourning over how people everywhere have become egocentric and feel empowered to exalt their authority over the authority of God our Creator. We should mourn that they feel no guilt nor remorse and abhor the idea of admitting they are sinners in need of Jesus Christ for the remission of sin. We should mourn that they see the Holy Spirit as someone to manipulate, dominate, and ridicule. We should mourn that this world is filling with lawlessness and anti-social behavior without empathy for human beings.

‘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.”
