Come Out of Her, My People!
.
Part 6:
“The Sensual Church!”
To read Part 1, click here… “May 12th (Come Out of Her, My People?)”

.
.
“And he (an angel) cried mightily with a strong voice,
.
saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen…
.
And I heard another voice from Heaven,
.
saying, Come out of her, My people,
.
that ye be not partakers of her sins,
.
and that ye receive not of her plagues.”
Revelation 18:2, 4
.

.
.
.
.
. 
Many Bible students read this above passage, and wonder “What in the world could ‘Babylon’ possibly be talking of!?”
.
Perhaps it could be speaking of some city in Iraq, or perhaps the city which has recently sprung up called Dubai!

THE HARLOT CHURCH
.
But for those who have discovered that the Bible is a totally spiritual revelation of the Gospel, they know that the City of Babylon actually represents the world and the worldly portion of the Church, the Mystery Harlot of Revelation 17 & 18.
.
And the reader is encouraged to click on and begin reading this series of devotionals called “Come Out of Her, My People”, to gain a fuller understanding of just why God considers today’s churches to be spiritual Babylon.

SENSUALITY-DRIVEN CHURCHES
.
Hollywood has loved to make movies that feature a rather drab and boring church which eventually gets a make-over and begins to have up-to-date and “cool” music and “hip” services!
.
Well, these movies have not escaped the notice of the Christian community.
.
And the Christian community has “got-on-board” as they say, becoming trendy and sensual.

SEXUALLY-CHARGED SOCIETY TODAY
.
We live in a very sexually-charged society, in which the various media are filled with sensuality.
.
And unfortunately, the Church has felt compelled to embrace a certain amount of this sensuality, bringing it in to our worship services.
.
And the results have been devastating, and have grieved away the Spirit of Holiness!

ATTRACTING THE WORLD
.
Now, the main reason for the churches giving in to this fashionable new style of worship, is to “keep up with the times, having a youthful appeal.”
.
This devolution of Christianity really took root in the late 1960’s and 70’s with a so-called “revival”.
.
And combined with preaching a prosperity-driven message, the world has come into such churches by the droves!
.
Yes, these new, hip and trendy churches are very attractive!
.
And nobody there needs to feel threatened!
.
Everyone is welcomed, and nobody is being judged (nobody but conservative, world-renouncing Christians).
.
But what the churches do not understand, is that when we play around with sensuality, we are playing with fire!
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
DRINKING THE WINE OF GOD’S WRATH
.
But why are we playing with fire, when we become sensual?
.
Simple! God is going to give us the fruit of our ways!
.
Listen… “But I will punish you according to the fruit of your doings, saith the LORD…
And they shall recompense your lewdness upon you,
and ye shall bear the sins of your idols:
and ye shall know that I am the Lord GOD.”
Jeremiah 21:14 & Ezekiel 23:49
.
Yes, the sins of the harlot, Babylon, shall be recompensed upon her, and she shall receive according to the fruit of her doings!
.
If we want hip and sensual music, alluring women, designer jeans, cool talk, and joking preachers, then God will give us plenty more sensuality!
.
And that is why there is a high rate of fornication and adulteries in these kinds of churches!
.
Yes, just as 1 + 1 = 2, so also, sensuality breeds sensuality!
.
If you bring in music that has a sensual appeal, you will be leavening your church with sensuality!
.
It’s a very simple concept!

SENSUALITY IS DEVILISH, NOT HAVING GOD’S SPIRIT!
.
“This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.” James 3:15
.
Yes, as this above verse reveals, sensuality is earthly and devilish!
.
And much of today’s so-called church music and clothing fashions, etc., has a sensuality and earthiness about it!

THE WORKS OF THE FLESH
.
Listen… “Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these;
Adultery, fornication, uncleanness,
lasciviousness (unclean desires), Idolatry… emulations…
Envyings…and such like: of the which I tell you before,
as I have also told you in time past,
that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.”
Galatians 5:19-21 (condensed)
.
This partial list of fleshly lusts are those which are involved in this current-day sensuality which has moved in and taken hold of the Christian world.
.
And the results have been devastating!
.
And even though most of the resulting sexual scandals have been greatly covered up from the public, they have been bad enough to send a sobering message!

THE GOAL OF ALL TRUE CHRISTIANS
.
The Christian must strive to remember the true purpose of becoming a Christian: to become changed into the likeness of Jesus!
.
God is not wanting a compromised Christian, but a purified Christian! All earthly 
leaven is to be removed!
.
Listen… “And every man that hath this hope in Him (Jesus), purifies himself, even as He (Jesus) is pure.” 1st John 3:3
.
And this above verse, and many similar ones, encourage us to fully engage in the purification of our hearts and the transformation of our lives into His likeness!
.
.
.
.
.
.
GOOD NEWS!
.
But the very Good News is that the gates of Hell shall not prevail against the Church!
.
No, God has determined that we are to finally come out of Babylon!
.
Listen… “And he cried mightily with a strong voice,
saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen…
And I heard another voice from heaven,
saying, Come out of her, My people,
that ye be not partakers of her sins,
and that ye receive not of her plagues.”
Revelation 18:2, 4
.
So here is the call to God’s people, to come out of Babylon.
.
And from what has already been discussed, we must begin the work of heart purification, which we have long neglected!
.
The Christian is to come out of the worldly, Babylonish churches, and keep separate from sensuality, either in the churches, on the radio, or in the home!
.
And with today’s vast resources, one can easily listen to non-sensual sacred music via the Internet!

TODAY’S FEATURED HEAVENLY SIGN
.
.
.
.
DOUBLE ENTENDRE OF REVELATION 12 WOMAN
.
“For the husband is the head of the wife,
even as Christ is the head of the Church:
and He is the Savior of the body.”
Ephesians 5:23
.
This page concerns the constellation which is commonly known as “The Big Dipper” and the “Great Bear”.
.
It actually appears in the summer months as a woman travailing in childbirth. God has purposely given her no head. But God did this to present a very important concept.
.
.
Yes, this woman represents the Church, the, “Jerusalem above, which is free, and is the mother of us all” (see Galatians 4:26).
.
You see, the single star she is giving birth to typifies the Christ child.
.
Reading in Ephesians that Christ is the “head” of the Church, this single star is logically going to become her head. But how will that be accomplished? .

WOMAN FLIPS AROUND IN WINTER
.
Now, if this Woman-in-Travail were all that the Lord created in the heavens, it would be nothing short of amazing!
.
But God, in His infinite power and majesty, has made this a great sign in Heaven, just as Revelation 12 proclaims.
.
Because as the summer passes, this constellation begins to slowly flip around, until the stars representing her arms now become her legs.
.
And the stars that once represented her legs now become her arms.
.
And finally, it appears as the Fleeing Woman of Revelation 12.
.
And at that point, this single little star in her womb-area, representing the Christ-child, now becomes her head!
.
And of course, this reminds us of the passage… “And He (Christ) is the head of the body, the Church…” Colossians 1:18.
