-You feel more accepted in a secular environment…
-You feel like you don’t fit in no matter what you do or try…
-You feel like an outcast because you have sinful habits you cannot shake off
-You walk away from the church feeling empty and without purpose week after week…
-You can’t wait for the whole church experience to be over with every time you go to church
-Something doesn’t feel quite right at your church, but you can’t put your finger on it.
-You feel lonelier at church than you do in regular secular settings…
-You’ve sat in the church teachings for weeks, months, or years and you still feel lost when you read the Bible…
-When you walk out of church you have no desire to think about GOD or church until you walk into church the following week
-You go to church each week with a feeling of dread
-You walk out of church wondering what it was you learned from it
-You feel that no matter how big–how “high tech–how ostentatious the church building, you feel something is missing…or you feel empty…
-You feel like there is an “in crowd” that you are never part of
-You wonder that if GOD supports the church you are at then maybe GOD is not WHO you thought HE was…
Dear friend: if this describes your church experience and you were so discouraged that you gave up on GOD because of it–I am here to tell you that you weren’t experiencing GOD–you were experiencing HIS enemy: who is Satan and you were encountering something called the “religious spirit” that operates right within the LUKEWARM CHURCH environment. Satan does not throw his big guns at the lost, secular world–he sets up his strongest attacks at the LUKEWARM CHURCHES because that’s where people go to find GOD–and he wants to nip that in the bud…so he wants to make sure you “hate” church to get you to stop pursuing GOD…So, I’m here to tell you to NOT WRITE OFF GOD–JUST BECAUSE YOU MET SATAN AT THE LUKEWARM CHURCH! GO BACK TO THE BIBLE–SEEK THE HOLY SPIRIT–GOD IS THERE TO LOVE YOU AND TO HELP YOU RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE–NO MATTER WHAT’S GOING ON–GOD IS LOVE–COME BACK TO CHRIST–HE IS YOUR ONLY HOPE!
