Sound the Alarm in My Holy Mountain!

Joel 2:1-2 says "Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound the alarm in my holy mountain: let ALL the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the Lord cometh, for it is nigh at hand; A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness, as the morning spreads upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall there be any more after it, even to the years of many generations."

The alarm tells us in the faith that a serious crisis is upon us! Where is the tearing of the garment in repentance and brokenness? Our nation is headed into such darkness! Can "the church" even see it or is it trapped already in the darkness? Are we, The Remnant, standing STRONG knowing that Jesus is coming?

"The church" has been so silent that it has lost its POWER to influence, to bring change lining up with God's Word, and to be heard with a resounding voice that pierces through the lies of the devil! "The church" no longer preaches the hard words like repentance is the key to being born again, hell is a real place, or being deceived by an enemy who is bent on the destruction of mankind!

Let me touch on one.... Repentance! 
The devil's lie that he is whispering now to mankind is "you can be born again WITHOUT repenting and God accepts you just the way you are." WRONG! Without repentance, you can NOT even get to salvation! Repentance is the doorway to Jesus! If we come to the Lord fully expecting to continue living the same old life of sin, then we have NOT experienced salvation! Repentance is a change of direction! It's an admission we have been going the wrong way! The new path goes to God, not the world! God even provides us with a spiritual compass called the Holy Spirit! When we get off track, the Holy Spirit will prompt us that this is not the way. Then when we truly repent, then God's Word and the Holy Spirit will gets us back on track! Repentance is as vital to a Believer's life as the air we breathe! When we take our FIRST BREATH of air in the world, that is confirmation we can survive in this environment! Repentance is the evidence that we are willing to live by GOD'S Spiritual Laws! This will be until we stop breathing!

2Cor 7:10 says "For Godly sorrow works repentance to salvation and leaves no regret: but the sorrow of the world works death."
