Why does sin dishonor God's name?When a born-again believer falls into sin or loses their temper, Jesus's name is dishonored in the heavenlies before the enemy.
God's promise to vindicate His nameGod declares in Ezekiel that He will cleanse His people and put His Spirit within them so that His great name will be glorified.Ezekiel 36:23
Looking at victory from the right angleInstead of merely wanting to get rid of a bad habit for a good testimony, we must repent because our sin is harming God's glory.
Why does God allow difficulties?God allows pressures and defeats in our lives just as He did with Israel in the book of Judges when they did evil in His sight.
Doing what is right in one's own eyesThe core problem with believers is that they do whatever they think is right instead of submitting humbly to God's Word.Judges 21:25
When God gives people upAfter years of warnings from messengers and prophets, God finally gave Israel up to Babylon because they mocked His words and despised His prophets.2 Chronicles 36:15
Daniel read the word and prayedDaniel discovered God's promise regarding the seventy years in Jeremiah and responded by fasting, confessing sin, and interceding earnestly.Daniel 9:2
Recognizing Babylon even in connected circlesSimply being connected to a fellowship like CFC does not automatically make a church a New Covenant assembly if strife and dictatorial elders exist.
The mark of Zion: Shepherds after God's heartZion is identified by having shepherds who serve as fathers and servants rather than dictators, as described in Jeremiah.Jeremiah 3:14
Jesus looking at harassed sheepJust as Jesus felt compassion for leaderless crowds oppressed by Pharisaical masters, He looks at modern churches with the same heart.Matthew 9:36
The great need for freedomGod's people need freedom from sin, empty traditions of men, enslavement to people, and the trap of trying to please human leaders.
Maintaining the original vision of holinessWe must retain the vision of absolute victory over sin, total financial integrity, and building godly homes that hallow God's name.
Sharing the sorrow of God's heartA true bride of Christ shares the sorrow and grief that Jesus feels as He looks at the current compromised state of the church.
A concluding prayer for freedom and ZionThe message closes with a prayer asking the Heavenly Father to bring total freedom, forgive empty glorying in men, and raise up shepherds to build Zion.
