GO!

IT'S OK TO SHOUT!

I'm so glad
that I serve a
GOD
Who is
quiet and reserved
HE
never
raises His Voice
HE's
meek and mild
HE's
restrained and confined
WAIT!

Is
that really my
GOD
or
is that what
I have perceived
Him
to be?

Is
that an imagination
I have created?

What
have I done
with the
ALL-POWERFUL CREATOR
THE ONE
whose
VOICE THUNDERS
through the Heavens?

Has
our
GOD
lost the
ZEAL
shown through Jesus
with the
money-changers?

What
have we done
with our image
of
GOD?

If
He is, indeed
THE CREATOR
then
ALL STRENGTH
ALL MIGHT
ALL POWER
IS HIS!

Why
do we seek to limit
HIS POWER
HIS STRENGTH
HIS VOICE
to us?

Are
we afraid of
no longer
being
in control?

If
we allow Him
HIS RIGHTFUL RULE
then we are
no longer
the "boss"

Isn't
there a way
to simply appease
this
GOD
with our
one hour a week
at church
and perhaps
some change put
in the
offering plate?

We'll keep Him happy
We'll keep Him in
His Place!

BUT WAIT
THAT IS NOT GOD!
But only what we have perceived
as GOD!

Our
GOD
in
ALL
HIS
STRENGTH
AND
MIGHT
submitted
to being nailed
upon a Cross
for us!

Our life
required
His death!

Christianity
is
not
a religion

Religion
seeks to appease
a powerless god

Christianity
is
a life laid down
SURRENDERED!

Jesus was the 1st
to lay down
His Life
and
we are
to follow!

DEATH IS A REQUIREMENT!

HIS LIFE
for our life
NOW
our life for
HIS LIFE

He
requires it
ALL
BECAUSE
HE GAVE IT
ALL!

We may choose
to try to appease
the concept of GOD
which we have held
but
DO NOT
claim it to be
Christianity!

Christianity
REQUIRES DEATH
TO
RECEIVE LIFE!

IT'S OK TO SHOUT!

It's OK
to proclaim
His Message
of
Redemption!

It's OK
to declare that
GOD
wants to be
LORD and KING!

TOO LONG
have we presented
to the world
a worthless savior
because
we have changed the message
where there are
NO
requirements!

YES
Jesus
died for our sins
to give us
Eternal Life
but
there's a requirement
to receive
this
GIFT
The cost
is
our life!

A life
for a
LIFE!

IT'S OK TO SHOUT!
Tell the world
THE GOOD NEWS
is that
GOD
is in control

HE IS
LORD AND KING
MASTER AND SAVIOR!

***
GOD
we're sorry
for changing
Your Message
and producing
so many
lukewarm "Christians"
who have not truly died
to receive LIFE!

Forgive us
and give us the Courage
to make things right
to speak the Truth
and
set the captives FREE!
We have served
a false god
our perception of You!

Forgive us!

We ask You
to come in
ALL YOUR POWER
and
MIGHT
into our lives
into our churches
into our homes and schools
and be the
LORD GOD ALMIGHTY
in our midst!

We will
not
quiet You

We will
not
send You out

We will
not
demand
our
form of order

We will
welcome You
as a people
who desperately
need to know
and
embrace
ALL THAT YOU ARE!!!

We're sorry!
Please forgive us

Make us
SHOUT YOUR
GOOD NEWS
to
ALL!

IT'S OK
TO SHOUT
THAT
YOU
REQUIRE IT ALL!



GO FOR
                         HIS GLORY
