Francis Frangipane, author of Holiness, Truth and the Presence of God, wrote earlier today on Facebook:
“Although we cannot alter the past, we can put our past upon the altar. The heart that surrenders its sorrows to God, surrenders its wounds to healing.”
And I commented with this:
Francis, do you remember how you prophesied in Wasilla, Alaska [Sarah Palin was there] about the revival happening up here to such a great degree that people should buy hotels, because of the people that will come to be a part of the revival?
I believe the main thing that is holding this up is that most ‘Christians,’ including pastors are not getting right with those they’ve hurt. Then they will feel right because only then will they be clean:
“There is therefore now *no condemnation* to those who are *in Christ Jesus*, WHO don’t WALK according to the flesh, but ACCORDING TO THE SPIRIT.”
Because the truth about holiness required for salvation is no longer preached, People don’t think they have to get right with others in order to be right with God.
And only when we’re right with others can the Third Great Awakening Happen, because “God resists the proud, but GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE” — just like in Asbury, Wales and in Acts!
I got this word in 1990 while preparing to talk with a pastor in Anchorage, Alaska about what I believed was the reason revival wasn’t happening. I just wrote down what I heard:
Before we lift up our hands to worship God, if we remember we have ought with anyone, we should leave our gift at the altar, and first reconcile with our brother, and then offer our gift. Then God will honor our praise and worship. His glory will come: “Holiness, Truth and the Presence of God!”
We can’t just try to forget what we did to others. We must get right with them so we can be clean.
PAUL MADE SURE HE WAS RIGHT WITH EVERYONE.
“Herein I also practice always having a conscience void of offense toward God and men.” – Acts 24:16
HOW MANY PASTORS CAN SAY THAT today? It’s really a disgrace.
