Christ Calls Methodist to Spirituality

This is a message from Jesus Christ to the Methodist Church. “I am the Faithful and True Witness, who is the origin of all God has created. I know what you have done; I know that you are lukewarm. How I wish you would hear me knocking on your thousand doors and let Me in. For I would advise you, that, you need to strive for spiritual riches rather than filling your Conference Coffers. You need to put on the My White Linens of My Army rather than your Processional Robes. You need to focus your sight on the Kingdom of Heaven rather than your earthly kingdom. “Repent! And turn away from your path of heavenly indifference and run toward the spiritually hot world of My Father’s Kingdom. To those who win the victory, I will give the right to sit beside me on my throne. “I challenge you to shed your sin soiled clothes, to put on My White Lines, to join the Armies of Heaven, and to help Me restore My Church. If you have ears, then, listen to what the Spirit says to the churches.” Wikipedia reports that the United Methodist Church in the United States is losing about 1,000 members a week. However, they also report that the UMC is growing overseas and it has been estimated that 40% of the delegates at the 2012 General Conference will be from outside the U.S. You certainly can understand why when you look to such churches as the First United Methodist Church in Monrovia, Liberia and read about their “Open Doors,” their “Open Hearts,” and their “Open Minds.” You learn more of the reason for their spiritual growth from a sermon by their Senior Pastor, Rev. Erlene P. Thompson, when she preached that: “I want you to prepare yourselves as we await the Second Advent of Christ. Jesus, the Christ, is expected to come soon. Let us order our lives in a way that when he comes we are ready to receive and be with our Savior.” In Christ’s message to the Methodist Church, He implores them to strive for spiritual riches, to join the Armies of Heaven, and to help Him form Heavenly Churches. As you can recognize, these are all steps needed by the Methodist Church, and by all churches, to help them prepare for the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. As the largest mainline denomination in the U.S., the United Methodist Church could have a huge impact on the Christian Community if they would heed the words of Rev. Thompson’s sermon and begin preparing all of the United Methodist Churches for the Second Coming of Jesus Christ at their 2012 General Conference. Jesus Christ is now calling Christians everywhere to experience spiritual birth, to store up heavenly riches, to live a divine spiritual life, to join the Armies of Heaven, to fight for church reform, and to prepare the church for His Second Coming.
