Put Up, or Shut Up!
 
by Lonnie Mackley
 
AC 5:16 Crowds gathered also from the towns around Jerusalem, bringing their sick and those tormented by evil spirits, and all of them were healed. 17 Then the high priest and all his associates, who were members of the party of the Sadducees, were filled with jealousy.
 
   I find it amazing how the modern-day pharisees can criticize and bash every revival, yet they have no real love or power flowing through their own lives. If they are such experts on revival and what it should be, then why aren't they experiencing much revival themselves? I can tell you why; because they do not have the love of God in them, and their hearts are not right before God. They're simply full of jealousy and envy. If these paragons of spirituality are so pious and virtuous then why don't they spend their time loving and helping people instead of persecuting others who "are" actually loving and helping people? Can you say, hypocrite?
 
Hypocrite- A person who pretends to be what he or she is not.
 
AC 5:39 But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop these men; you will only find yourselves fighting against God."
 
   If these so called false revivalists are so misled and wrong then why not just pray for them and spend your time doing the right things as an example to the rest of us? The reason why they are not doing that is because they are not really interested in true revival, they are only interested in being armchair quarterbacks that judge, but don't actually participate. They are wannabes persecuting the actually are's. This is nothing new though, the pharisees in Jesus day did the same thing, and this is what He had to say to them, "You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to hell? In other words, "You're all lost guys".
 
AC 13:45 When the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy and talked abusively against what Paul was saying.
 
   Frankly, I'm sick and tired of hearing about good men and women of God being carelessly slandered by people that aren't even worthy to carry their suitcases. It's just ridiculous. Plus they are constantly gossiping and trying to twist every word that these true warriors of Christ are saying. It reminds me of a whiny little jealous sibling. If these revivalists are so off base then why spend all of your time just spying on them and reporting on everything they do and say? Is that really what God wants you to be doing with your time?  Hmm let's see, who in history used to spy on Jesus, trash Him behind His back, and not get involved? "Pharisees".
 
1JN 4:20 If anyone says, "I love God," yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen. 21 And he has given us this command: Whoever loves God must also love his brother.
 
Malign- To make evil, harmful, and often untrue statements about; speak evil of.
 
   If someone says they love God but they keep maligning people, then don't believe them. We are seeing the true natures of peoples hearts when God's power is being poured out and they are turning into Saul's when we thought they were Paul's. They jump on their donkey's of pride and self-righteousness and go around with letters trying to "warn" everyone about these false revivalists. Really? These traitors will be the first to turn us in to the government if there's ever an actual persecution. They are false brothers and sisters, and I would not be surprised one bit to see some severe judgment take place in their camp before it's all over.
 
2TI 3:5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them.
 
   These modern day persecutors have a form of Christianity, but they throw a fit every time Jesus actually does something through someone else other than themselves. They are just showing their true natures of being worldly and immature when they judge and malign others like that. My point in this word is not to just have a rant, it's to say that these people are the very ones who should be openly condemned and rebuked for how they have behaved as so-called Christians. Somehow I don't think that Jesus would be wanting to write any emails for their list except to apologize to people and let them know that He does not think as they do.
 
1CO 3:3 You are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and quarreling among you, are you not worldly? Are you not acting like mere men?
 
   So the bottom line is we need to leave these people be, do not even read their poisonous words, and just press on with helping the people that need to be helped during this harvest. Jesus spent His time saving the lost and He did not allow what the pharisees did to distract or hinder Him from doing God's work. Neither should you. Embrace God's miracles, remain loving, stay full of faith, and walk with others who are like-Spirited. If someone is really that interested in revival then they need to just do it, and stop bothering others who actually are doing it. We all need to "put up or shut up", and show God's true love and power to the lost.
 
JN 13:34 "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 35 By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another."
