A Famine for Hearing JESUS Words
(AMOS 8:11) Behold the days come, says the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but a famine of hearing the words of the Lord.
Brothers and sisters, there is already a famine for hearing JESUS words, because you allowed your false prophets and false teachers, to replace JESUS words with prosperity messages, money, financial breakthrough conferences, church building funds, fund raisers, signs and wonders, and you have forgotten your first love!
(AMOS 8:1-7) Hear this, o you that swallow up the needy, even to make the poor of the land to fail,
saying, when will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn?
& the Sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, making the Ephah small, and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances by deceit?
That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes; yes, and sell the refuse of the wheat!
The Lord has sworn by the excellency of Jacob, surely I will never forget their works.
Brothers and sisters, GOD has so much wisdom and knowledge that’s available for his chosen anointed servants!
Brothers and sisters, GOD has great mysteries to reveal to the servants of GOD who stand in GOD’S council to give to the people OF GOD!
Brothers and sisters, out of all the wisdom of GOD, the knowledge of GOD, & all the mysteries of GOD, that GOD has laid up for all the servants of GOD who truly seek him in the spirit of truth!
Please don’t tell me or any of GOD’S people, that out of all the infinite wisdom of GOD, and infinite knowledge in the mind of GOD, that’s all GOD spoke to you about is money, prosperity, financial breakthrough conferences, the church building fund, tithes and offerings, houses, cars, and making merchandise out of GOD’S people?
Brothers and sisters, when you hear people preaching, teaching, and prophet-lying about foolish stupid carnal things like money, prosperity messages, financial breakthrough conferences, fund raisers, church building funds, and seeking false prophets and false teachers for signs and wonders, then there truly is a famine for hearing JESUS words!
(Micah 3:11) The leaders of them judge for reward, and the priests of them teach for hire, and the prophets of them prophesy for money: yet will they lean upon the LORD, and say, Is not the LORD among us? No evil can come upon us.
(Jeremiah 6:13-14) For from the least of them even unto the greatest of them every one is given to greed and covetousness; and from the prophet even unto the priest every one deals falsely.
They have healed also the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.
(Jeremiah 23:11) For both prophet and priest are profane; yes, in my house have I found their wickedness, says the LORD.
(Jeremiah 5:26-31) For among my people are found wicked men: they lay wait, as he that sets snares; they set a trap, they catch men.
As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore they are become great, and waxen rich.
They are waxen fat, they shine: yes, they overpass the deeds of the wicked: they judge not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, yet they prosper; and the right of the needy do they not judge.
Shall I not visit for these things? says the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land; The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will you do in the end of all your deception?
(Titus 1:10-12) For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision: Whose mouths must be stopped, who deceive whole houses, teaching things which they ought not be teaching, for the sake of filthy money.
One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.
Brothers and sisters, surely there is a famine for hearing JESUS words!
