”When the time was close for the Jewish Passover to begin, Jesus walked to Jerusalem. As he went into the temple courtyard, he noticed it was filled with merchants selling oxen, lambs, and doves for exorbitant prices, while others were overcharging as they exchanged currency behind their counters. So Jesus found some cords and made them into a whip. Then he drove out every one of them and their animals from the courtyard of the temple, and he kicked over their tables filled with money, scattering it everywhere! And he told the merchants, “Get these things out of here! Don’t you dare commercialize my Father’s house!” That’s when his disciples remembered the Scripture: “I am consumed with a fiery passion to keep your house pure!”“
I believe we are entering a time when those who have commercialized Houses of Worship will face severe consequences - many will be kicked out by their own congregations. The reverential fear of the Lord and a holy hunger for the true meat of the Word of God, true deeper teachings is spreading not only through churches but across the unchurched population as well. And people cannot and will not tolerate what is fake or what is set up to profit people in the House of God. I believe this is a time where we’re not only going to see people demand righteousness and purity in government, which we talk about a lot here. But before we see that come to a head, we will see it first demanded in the churches. I believe we are at the beginning of a holiness movement, and anyone who tries to stand in the way of it, and anyone who is in ministry for personal gain will find themselves severely dealt with & ultimately on the losing side.
