TABERNACLE KEYS OF REVIVAL<br />

compromise. Yet most pulpits are silent against preaching against sin. There<br />

was a well known minister <strong>of</strong> a huge church that told my pastor with tears<br />

that he knew many in his church were going to hell. He knew their lives out­<br />

side church did not match their lives in church! Friend, if ministers would<br />

begin to preach with fire like a John Wesley or a Charles Finney against sin,<br />

people would repent. When I was in Finl<strong>and</strong>, I had the opportunity to preach<br />

to thous<strong>and</strong>s <strong>of</strong> young people. Hundreds filled the altar with tears in their<br />

eyes. There was true repentance because <strong>of</strong> the preaching against sin. See,<br />

I don’t underst<strong>and</strong> someone coming to church lifting their filthy h<strong>and</strong>s that<br />

have just fondled a woman that is not their wife! I don’t underst<strong>and</strong> how<br />

someone can sit through a service <strong>and</strong> worship God just to go home <strong>and</strong><br />

watch a movie with people taking their clothes <strong>of</strong>f <strong>and</strong> having sex! What an<br />

abomination to God! I marvel at Christians that can sit through a movie that<br />

has G___D___ this <strong>and</strong> S___O___B____that! Others will watch witchcraft<br />

<strong>and</strong> occult themes like Harry Potter, or listen to music that has this sort <strong>of</strong><br />

thing in it like nothing is wrong! What has happened to the western church?<br />

Oh, how we have fallen from the one who has called us. There is little won­<br />

der the glory is far from these people. The Bible warns that all have sinned<br />

<strong>and</strong> fallen short <strong>of</strong> the glory! Not that they have fallen short <strong>of</strong> the anointing.<br />

And when God gives gifts (like the gift <strong>of</strong> healing), he does not take it back.<br />

This is why many will say to Jesus on that day we prophesied, freed people<br />

from demons, <strong>and</strong> performed miracles. Jesus will respond I never knew you!<br />

You practiced lawlessness (Matt 7:21­23). Then he will cast them into hell.<br />

How could such a thing happen? People took lightly the holiness <strong>of</strong> God.<br />

Why is the glory not in our lives?<br />

God will not allow his glory to be where sin <strong>and</strong> compromise are. It would be<br />

a double st<strong>and</strong>ard for God’s glory to dwell in the home <strong>of</strong> someone who al­<br />

lows things across their television or stereo that Jesus would not allow in his<br />

life. The glory is supposed to be coming to the end time church. Many will<br />

miss it, while others receive it. Why? The reason is because many do not<br />

want to give up the world.<br />

What does the glory mean to us?<br />

The Bible says that the glory will be an armor <strong>of</strong> light to God’s people in Ro­<br />

mans 13:12. The glory can be a canopy <strong>of</strong> protection to Christian homes as<br />

seen in Isaiah 4:4­6. Just like in the natural, when we had a wound inflicted<br />

on us, we will apply pressure to it to ease the pain. The weight <strong>of</strong> the glory<br />

can be that pressure in these difficult end times that we live in. The glory can<br />

also be in our churches drawing many to a deeper more meaningful relation­<br />

ship with the Lord. But just like I tell my church, God will not have a double<br />

st<strong>and</strong>ard. He will not put his glory in a church full <strong>of</strong> people that go home to<br />

sin <strong>and</strong> compromise.<br />
