This is literally everything I hate about church. Like, just this superficial authority, that sits there clothed in flannel, and shames someone for having an outburst of authentic emotions about something for all intents and purposes, we all should be a little worked up about. Israel and Iran are at war, America is getting ready to persecute the Saints. She wasn't demonically possessed. Or a lunatic. She's probably sick by heartbreak, and a Pastor's job is to balm the sick, not cast them out of their church. Literally, have you seen the world today? She's crying out about how evil the world is. Does a demon shout, "Every knee shall bow," obviously speaking about Jesus? Honestly, she's probably a woman who sees the state of the world, and this was her reaction. Just good old fashioned emotions getting the better of someone. Not Satan. If this pastor were mature, he wouldn't broadcast it to the whole world, he wouldn't try to say she's a demoniac because she's obviously not. He'd preach a sermon on the state of the world, and how we have to be vigilant for Christ, and accept that trials and persecutions may come in our lifetimes, and to be prepared for martyrdom, even if it doesn't happen.
Literally, we need more wailing and crying for the sins of these people, not to sit around and gossip about a woman who's distraught over the state of the world, and we ought not do that weird thing Christians do, that I hate. This is Pharisaicalism, not Christianity. You need to be worked up about this. Those at ease in Zion are sinning. Perhaps the LORD will repent, and show mercy to this generation.
He's even lying about her. She's not demonic. She said, and I quote, "Every knee shall bow. Liar." Because Jordan is allied with Israel. We need to be preparing ourselves for hard times, not waiting to go up in a blaze. The rapture may actually happen, but we need to be vigilant, and understand Christians can get persecuted. That's a fact. And Jordan is doing the right thing, but we need to understand, that if trials come, we need not have our roots in the rocky soil. We should be reading and preparing ourselves by studying the martyrs. Not blindly living on, eating and drinking, [marrying and giving into marriage] like nothing is going to happen to us at all. It may not turn out that way. Many in that church may fall. Maybe they won't. We need to repent, and not shame someone for crying out in anguish at the world we live in today. Because she may be trying to tell you, that hard times are a coming. Maybe they aren't, but she's worked up, that much is for sure. And a pastor's job is not to shame the woman for crying out for her LORD. Maybe she's overzealous? Maybe not? But this is not the way to handle this.
Is someone who's demon possessed, shout, "Every knee shall bow." She sounds like she's hurting over the world, and all its pain. I don't know if she's demon possessed, but probably someone who doesn't believe in a pre-tribulation rapture. You shouldn't go casting demons out of people, where there aren't any. Like honestly, I wish more people were this distraught over the current world. She's not demon possessed at all, just wailing over the evil in the world, and probably believes she's living through the tribulation. Is she? I don't think it's that time yet, but she's angry at the pastor's ease, when we shouldn't have such ease about us. We should be vigilant and prepared. And equally disturbed in our own way, about the current sin in the world.
and the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.
Woe to them that are at ease in Zion, and trust in the mountain of Samaria, which are named chief of the nations, to whom the house of Israel came!
All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, which say, The evil shall not overtake nor prevent us.
Mark 13:51Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord. 52Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.
