A low condition
of bodily health
is produced by
inattention to the laws of nature as to suitable diet.
As this leads
to the "drug habit",
or to the immoderate
use of stimulants in the natural sphere,
so it is in the
spiritual sphere.
A low condition
of spiritual health
is produced by
improper feeding or the neglect of necessary food,
which is the
Word of God;
and the end is
a resort to all the many modern fashions
and novel methods
and widely advertised nostrums in the Religious world
in the attempt
to remedy the inevitable results.
The Root of all
the evils
which abound
in the spiritual sphere at the present day
lies in the fact
that the Word and the words of God are not fed upon,
digested, and
assimilated, as they ought to be.
Perhaps our Father says it better through the pen of Moses: Deut. 8:3 ... that He might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live. (by bread = by [eating] bread)
I'm sure you get the point.
But here's where we are today?
Did not Jesus
tell the Disciples that another of the signs
to look for just
prior to His second coming was
"..there shall
be famine.." (see Mk 13:8)?
Guess what?
We are right
now in the midst of that famine.
Amos 8:11-12 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD: [12] And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it.
That's
right!
The
famine of the end times is not for food
but
for hearing the Word of God.
Can you go to
most churches in America
and hear the
true Word of God taught
line by line
and chapter by chapter?
There are some,
but they are
few and far between.
Mostly you'll
hear a few token verses
read aloud in
religious monotone....
especially those
verses
that seemingly
fit the traditions of men.
Our people are starving (spiritually).
To make matters
worse,
we as a nation
are not only Biblically illiterate
but we have the
help of anti-God, anti-Christian,
anti-American
groups with great lobbying powers
that seek to
eradicate all mention of God and Bible
and even prayer
from our schools and government, etc.
Amos 8:11-12, Mark 13:8.... prophecy come to pass.
Do you see it?
