Can we announce to a person that they have violated the covenant of the Living God, therefore they are in danger of death and hell?
Scripture: Luke 22:31-35
Luke 22:31-35 says, “And the Lord said, ‘Simon, Simon! Indeed, Satan has asked for you,
that he may sift you as wheat. But I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail; and
when you have returned to Me, strengthen your brethren.’ But he said to Him, ‘Lord, I am
ready to go with You, both to prison and to death.’ Then He said, ‘I tell you, Peter, the rooster
shall not crow this day before you will deny three times that you know Me.’ And He said to
them, ‘When I sent you without money bag, knapsack, and sandals, did you lack anything?’
So they said, ‘Nothing.’” There is one thing we find out about Peter\’s spiritual condition – he
thought he was much more prepared than he really was. He thought he was much more
mature than he really was. If you and I think we are mature just because we know the Saving
Christ, the Priestly Christ, and represent Him, we had better think again. We are not mature
unless we are fully balanced in both – the Saving Christ and the Judicial Christ. Can we
announce to a person that they have violated the covenant of the Living God, therefore they
are in danger of death and hell? Jesus has the keys. He can say it.
Prayer
Ezekiel rebuked the leaders of the church of his day because, through their tradition, they
were killing and keeping people alive who should not live and they were people who should not
die. And if we look at today’s church it is obvious that it is happening again. Pray for this
stop in your area.
