CHALLENGE TO MEMBERS AND ATTENDER OF LWWC this measn those of you that have left too

[kipnance]

TO all of you,

Not often does God challenge his people publically. I have felt the
need in prayer over the last few weeks to announce to the assembly
that God is requiring something of us. Many times in our lives we ask
God for certian things, healing to our bodies, protection for our
children, financial interventions, favor in the eyes of men, and etc.
God never fails us and has always been right on time, ready, willing,
and able to see us through and make a way even when men say there is
no way. I am reminded at the response I received from the members of
LWWC in February of 2007 when I announced that on our limited budget
and resources God was going to move us by the end of the year to a
newer much larger building. Some have even admitted that they went
home laughing saying, "now we will know if he is a man of God or not."
But they could not laugh when in September of that same year I stood
before them and told them that God had basically made a way where no
man thought there would be a way in giving us a 2 million dollar piece
of property for not even five percent of that cost. In November of
2007 we moved to our present location and all the naysayers were
convinced that God had His hand on LWWC.

A little over a year ago I preached a message and made the statement
that death had crawled up in our windows. THAT SAME DAY death called
on our dear Cody. That was a prohecy I wish had never came true. It
was at this point that I heard many even outside the church say I WILL
NEVER DOUBT AGAIN THAT YOU ARE NOT A MAN OF GOD.

In the three years that have passed in Bladenboro we have weathered
many a storm. We have stood firm when others could not understand why
we did or how we even could. Many folks have let me down along with
letting God down. At the present I am still baffled to try and
understand how some could say at one time I AM IN THIS THING FOR GOOD
and now they are absent without leave. Being AWOL is one thing when
you are not fulfilling your covenant to the Lord but to be absent
without leave is the lesser of two evils. I have come to see that many
are absent WITHOUT THE LORD! It grieves my heart that so many can so
easily throw away the VOW they made to GOD. I probably will never
understand the mindset of those that today GOD SAYS THIS and tomorrow
they are not sure that GOD said anything. One thing I know in my walk
with GOD.. I am sure when it is HIM that is speaking to me. There is
no doubt. My God is not a LIAR He has always done what HE told me he
would.

Many have made a covenant with the Lord when it comes to LWWC. Many
have said, " I know this is where I Belong for God has said this to
me" Now we do not see or hear from them. Many have promised to support
it with their talent and their time but now their TALENT is absent for
they do not have the TIME to be there. Many promised they would
support the vision with their tithe but with attendance or without
attendance their promised money to God is going somewhere else. Then
they have the audacity to complain that the pastor has to work and
does not have the time to be there for them when they feel they need
him.

I will never understand this. When God spoke to me that I was to be a
minister I have never ever felt that He had changed his mind or that
he withdrew the calling. I KNOW WITH 100 per cent assurity that God
spoke and it matters not if any listen, apply, or respect what I say
all I know is I MUST OBEY THE VOICE OF THE LORD.

Many of you have stood before this church and told the people of this
church that GOD HAD ASSIGNED YOU HERE... my question to you is, If
you were assigned by God then what did you accomplish that made the
assignment complete in HIS EYES. What were you sent here to do? Did
you get it done? Did you fight for YOUR VISION that YOU said YOU had
from GOD or did you give into feelings of lack of respect from others,
feelings of discouragement, or feelings of failure?

Contrary to many peoples words the vision is still at LWWC and GOD HAS
NOT LEFT and we will still get accomplished what HE HAS DECLARED WE
WOULD. I want to thank those of you that have supported this vision
through the rough and tough times. I want to say thanks to those of
you that understand that my calling is to SAVE YOUR CHILDREN FROM THIS
MURDERING DEVIL THE BIBLE CALLED RABIES.

However there are those here every Sunday and those that we do not
hear from much that when it comes to your support we cannot and God
cannot count on it. For that reason God has issued a challenge to LWWC
and that challenge comes to the plumbline this Wednesday Night at 7:30
pm.

2011 is the year we beign our march into our promised land...tis the
year to take OUR LAND. God has promised it to us and we will possess
it. In Joshua chapter 1 the writer gives us a statement that means a
lot to us spiritually. The children of Israel had traveled the
wilderness for forty years and on 17 different occassions they had
came to a place called Padan ARAM... that phrase in the root of the
Hebraic means the place that is comfortable.. In the place of comfort
everytime they came into Padan Aram God would ASK them... (my own
words) what about all those promises you promised me when you came out
of Egypt?. He asked them to cross their Jordan and go into the
promised land.. 16 times they disobeyed and on the 17th time every man
of war had died out of the assembly.

The writer of Joshua says..

Jos 1:1-2 Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD it
came to pass, that the LORD spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses'
minister, saying, MOSES MY SERVANT IS DEAD; now therefore arise, go
over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do
give to them, even to the children of Israel.

MOSES MY SERVANT IS DEAD... the time for me drawing you out of your
junk is dead says the LORD. The season of me drawing you to me is
dead... now it is time for you to arise out of your zone of comfort
and get over your past, get over what has happened to you, get over
what people have done to you, get over your failures, get over your
opinions, get over your bipolar way of living and go into your promise
land...

2011 is the year that God says now it is up to you to show me how much
you want to have me in your life. 2011 is the season for you to show
me how much you want me to continue protecting you from your enemy,
feeding you and providing for you. Now it is the season for YOU to
show me HOW MUCH YOU WANT TO DRAW ME TO YOU.

God has told me to tell all of you that he is calling the covenants
due!. When you covenant with God in the Bible you walked through
animals that had been split in half with a sharp knief. Both parties
walked through them. It meant that if any party did not keep their
part of the deal that the injured party had the right to demand the
same thing that had been done to the animals to be done to them.

This letter is a letter of encouragement to stir you to COME TO LWWC
THIS WEDNESDAY NIGHT AT 7:30 pm to show GOD that you want him near you
in 2011. To show God that you understand that you too have a part in
this covenant, that you too have the undersatnding to know that if you
do not fulfill the promises you made to him without anyone twisting
your arms that He has the right to withdraw from you. I cannot stress
the importance of this to all of you.. It is so important that I have
written this letter to make the awareness known to all that GOD HAS
DRAWN THE LINE, MOSES IS NOW DEAD, the season of his drawing us is
over, NOW WE MUST DRAW HIM TO US.

Search your heart and if you feel that you have fulfilleds all that
God has instructed you to do at LWWC then fine, but you had better be
sure and I do not say that much. THIS IS A SERIOUS MATTER TO ONE AND
ALL. Are you in it or out of it? Do you want God with you in the
battle for your promised land or do you want to live your life in 2011
as the children of Israel did in the season of their AI... Remember
AI, a small group of men destroyed the army of Israel because they had
not obeyed the voice of the LORD.

My Christian Friends... I ask you to consider the covenants and the
vows you made to God in these last three to five years when it comes
to your walk with GOD.... Have they been accomplished? Are they
complete? Have you finsihed the race and obtained the prize? Or are
you like many that now realize that you have went back on your
promise... You know when you go back on your promise there is a word
for this in the Bible... it is not what many of you think, it is not
the word disobebient or even rebellious it is the word backslid.... As
your Christian brother I plead with you all to make sure that your
account is where it needs to be when it comes to GOD. Make sure that
what you have promised is done. Make sure that there is nothing left
that God can hold against you for in 2011 you will either possess your
promised land or stay in the wilderness and no one lives in the
wilderness for long periods. The elements there will zap the life
completely out of you. If you don't die spiritually you will wish you
have died physically.

Because I love all of you I felt the need to release this call to
arms, this call from God to GET OVER THESE SMALL PETTY ISSUES THAT YOU
HAVE LET OTHERS CONTROL YOU AND YOUR ACTIONS WITH. GET OVER YOURSELF
AND POSSESS YOU PROMISED LAND...

I plead once again to show God that when you said God this is where I
KNOW you have placed me, this is where you want me to work, these are
the people that need me that you were not calling him a liar..

Hope to see you Wednesday night, if not I will pray for you that God
will open your eyes to the seriousness of the matter. God is calling
all of his people not just us at LWWC to account in 2011. Where does
your account lie with GOD?

Love you all

Pastor KIP

ps please make sure you forward this to your fellow members and ask
them to read it and forward ti to others that we do not see much. And
by the way...it does not matter how much you talk about whether you
believe what I say here or not I KNOW WHEN GOD HAS SPOKEN.
