Entertainment is No Substitute for Encounter

Those who sought to build up their own houses are going to burn out, while those who love His presence are going to gain strength and endurance.

Recently, I heard the Lord say, “Don’t settle for entertainment when you can have an Encounter with Me.”

As our society, as well as much of the world, seems to thrive on being entertained, God is offering His people something else, Experience! There’s a fulfillment in Christ that you simply can’t get anywhere else. So much of the church has wrapped itself up in the entertainment industry that in many cases we’ve used it to replace the power of God.

Many come to the church like a giant social club instead of a place to experience His Glory and His Power anymore. However, all of that seems to be shifting and changing. The churches that don’t shift, become institutions of men which hold a form of godliness but no power. 

While I was dreaming last night I heard the Lord say He was going to VISIT HIS CHURCH AGAIN, WITH HIS GLORY AND HIS POWER, THAT THERE WAS COMING A REMOVAL OF THE MONEY CHANGERS FROM THE SANCTUARY AND A RESTORATION OF THE HEARTS WHICH ARE REALLY SEEKING FOR HIM. 

Those who sought to build up their own houses are going to burn out, while those who Love His Presence are going to gain strength and endurance. 

“These will be the ones to build My House! Those who Love Me, Love My Presence, and desire My Appearing. All those who have attempted to kindle their own fires will burn out in their attempts but those who burn the Anointing Oil of My Presence will Shine like the Sun! Many will come to the Rising of the Bright Ones as they reflect My Glory as the Moon does the Sun, beacons of Hope leading into Encounters with Me instead of into emptiness and futility.”

HYPE IS NO SUBSTITUTE FOR SUBSTANCE, JESUS CHRIST IS THAT SUBSTANCE! He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life! No other Name, no organization, no pastor or teacher,  no institution of man can bring you into the Presence of the Father and fulfill the desires of your heart. Don’t let entertainment drag you away from His Presence or allow hype to replace His Power. For although they may look like the real thing the Love of God is not in them. Visitation is Coming! When it does Where will He find you?
