A Prophetic Warning to the International Churches of Christ (ICOC)

 

"The International Churches of Christ as a system has prostituted the Bride of Christ in the name of evangelism and turned disciple making into customer acquisition. 

 

Yet the shepherding is so lackluster that they cannot successfully retain customer members without ignorance, compromise or extreme manipulation from both the leaders and their congregants. 

Repent quickly, or the Lord will deal with you publicly. 

 

For you have become a harlot in your trade and a foul stench on the earth. 

 

For a body without the Spirit is dead. 

 

There has been grace for a time, but that time is up. 

 

Repent, stop turning the children of God into slaves. 

 

Repent, stop bastardizing the children of God. 

 

Repent, you are worshipping Baal and Asherah and not Yahweh. 

Repent, or let the God who answers by fire show Himself to be the King of kings, the Lord of lords and the God of gods. 

For it is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

 

If you are a disciple of Jesus, come out from her! 

For if the ICOC does not repent, and you stand with her, then you will surely suffer her fate. 

And Jesus will not be mocked. You have played God in the lives of those who are seeking God long enough. 

You have dealt treacherously in your trade, repent, or you will reap the fullness of what you have sown.  

Do not mock or disregard this word, fast and pray and humble yourselves before God to see if what I am saying bears witness with the Holy Spirit of God. 

What began in purity has become a mockery and an abomination on the earth, and the courtroom of heaven will release judgement soon. 

Repent, and if you choose to not repent, let this word stand as a witness upon the earth and before the nations of the world that the true and living God, Yahweh will not be mocked. Jesus will not be mocked. 

Stiff-necked generation! Jesus is the head of His Body and the Husband of His Bride. You have become god in your own eyes, humble yourselves and re-examine your life and doctrine. 

Let the Holy Spirit breathe life into the rotting corpse you have become. You have carefully preserved this body, and placed it into a beautiful tomb. 

But the Spirit of God does not live in a tomb and Jesus is not returning to marry a mummy! Repent and Behold Jesus the Christ! 

That He would give you a new spirit and a new heart. 

That He would make your body like one of a newborn. 

That He would pluck you from the dirt and the muck and the mire. 

That He would place you in fruitful land and pull you out of the thorns and thickets where you lie exposed and the scavenger breaks your bones and picks at your flesh. 

That He would clean your wounds & wash your flesh. 

He longs to put a crown on your head and adorn you with not only a white robe, but a wedding dress! 

For even as a corpse, you are not beyond His reach. Heed the call of the Spirit and let His breath bring life. 

Heed this warning, the trumpet is being blown from the watchtower for the enemy is coming to steal, kill and destroy. 

But if you do not listen, it will be the hand of God that ushers in your destruction. 

Repent of your pride and beg and beseech the Lord to let the scales fall from your eyes. 

The time for judgement is near and nigh. Repent."
