THE MULTITUDES
Bob Neumann
Dear WPA and to whomever will see this…
There are times things in THE NATURAL catch your attention, and as you look at it, everything sort of shifts. This happened to me last week…Wednesday Morning. The Second Day after…THE STORM called KATRINA. Later THE MOST HOLY SPIRIT reminded me of Hosea 6. We need to reach the second day so that HE may revive us.
That night i had a short vision of people sitting on the street. I could hear angry voices. As i watched more people joined the group. In my spirit i could sense a “wrongness”, but it was just the survivors of the STORM. So as i got closer i could hear separate voices in the crowd saying…”Why hasn’t GOD done anything yet?” “When is HE going to give me what I want?” and similar things….
This was not New Orleans. It was/is THE HARLOT CHURCH. GOD sent warnings of coming STORMS…impending judgments. They would not listen and refused to flee BABYLON. They expect GOD to deliver all that they were told were due them if they followed the teachings of men who only would tell them what they wanted to hear.
In 2 Chronicles chapter 7 the FIRST THING WE SEE…is THE HOLY FIRE FALLING. But 12 verses later we have a hard statement
13 If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people
ALL THIS IS WHAT GOD SAYS HE WILL DO. First heaven is shut up…there is NO RAIN…. Second HE “commands” the locusts to “devour” the land. What we have is FAMINE…Amos 8…and instead of GOD rebuking the “devourer” HE commands it against HIS PEOPLE. And Third, GOD SENDS PESTELANCE….among HIS people.
Now comes verse 14….IF MY PEOPLE…
How bad must things get to make people HUMBLE THEMSELVES…..PRAY…SEEK HIS FACE….and to turn….
Yet i saw multitudes of people sitting and waiting for GOD to perform for them. To give them all that they want. For some reason the angry faces i was looking at did not want to hear such things as “SEEK YE FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND HIS RIGHTIOUSNESS”. What they want to hear is “and all these things shall be added unto you…” without doing something first.
As i walked through the multitudes sitting and waiting, i felt their eyes staring through me. Only I felt no desire to speak to anyone. When i began to walk away i felt profound grief. GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD that HE GAVE HIS SON….but THE WORLD does not want the SON as HE IS….just as they want HIM to be.
Rev 6:15-17.
