Cry Aloud, Spare Not

“Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins. … Behold, ye fast for strife and debate, and to smite with the fist of wickedness: ye shall not fast as ye do this day, to make your voice to be heard on high.” (Is. 58:1, 4)
Why do you do what you do in your conduct of religion? Is it about you, or is it about seeking true godliness with the Father? Religious activities have never saved anyone, yet, multitudes still grope in the darkness laboring under their own agendas to please a God Who is not amused with their pathetic efforts. Does God unveil His predetermined way of righteousness just so man can declare it mere balderdash, and recreate an alternative way to his liking? Is God so pitifully weak as to cower down to the creativeness of man?
Men of God wake up, hear the voice of the LORD, cry aloud, and spare not the preposterous pride of men! Pray for the courage that with all boldness we might loudly proclaim: “Thus saith the LORD our God!” Do not worm your way out of your duty in fear of hurting poor little so-and-so’s feelings. If they want to take their marbles and go home, LET THEM! Is the sovereign eternal God of the heaven the least bit intimidated? God forbid such notions!!!
Let us be honest, most religious folk are marching to the tune of their own hidden agendas, and the truth of God is nowhere in their calculations. They expect, yea, even demand that God hear their voices and their beckoning orders. The Almighty shall not hear nor respond to their pompous struts of peacockism! He is GOD, but who art thou? Men are not saved by hearing what they want to hear; they are saved by the honest forthright preaching of the Word!!!
Declare plainly and directly the words of His mouth, and “it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.” (Is. 55:11) God’s Word cannot and will not be negated by the whimsical crude imaginations of men. It will bring repentance, or it will bring condemnation. It will fulfill that which it has been sent out to accomplish. The fear of the congregation is the ruination of Spirit led preaching of the Word. Brethren, fear none of those things that might befall you; rather, fear degrading the blood of the Lamb!
