Judgment Falls on the Guilty, Not the Ignorant

by JRP Ministry Staff on 06/13/20

There are a few times when I have shared with those in ministry what the Lord has been saying about judgment coming to the Church, including Church leaders, that they respond with, "What about those who just don't know any better?  They may only be following others or what they have been taught.  What about the pastor of the small church in the country who is doing all he or she can with the limited resources they have?  Will the Lord bring judgment to them as well?


First and foremost, we must understand that the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Jesus, knows everything and everyone.  His judgments do not fall upon the ignorant, but upon the guilty.  

Leaders in the American Church are guilty of high treason against the Spirit of Jesus, having rejected the power of God and the manifestation of His gifts, the foundational element of His Gospel.  As a kingdom of priests unto our God, members of the congregation stand guilty as well.  Ignorance of the law is no excuse.  This truth is doubly true for those who know the Lord and have His word, but do not study the Bible nor do they believe what it says.  Having rejected the Bible, they do not know the voice of the Holy Spirit.  Not hearing the voice of the Spirit of God brings judgment. 

The Spirit proclaims, "There are none more guilty than My Church."

Many in America, seeing the powerlessness of the Church and the hypocrisy of those who say they believe the Bible but no longer believe in the power of the Gospel, have rejected Christianity.  They are always offended and attempt to right the wrongs of past generations because they too are guilty before God.

Judgment comes to the guilty in all of the above instances.  America has lost its way because the Church has lost its salt.  Leaders in the Church were given a solemn charge, having been called by the Lord Jesus Christ.  Having forsaken the leading of the Holy Spirit, judgment is falling for the sake of His flock, His remnant, and those destined for salvation.  The Lord will make His Bride ready for His appearing.
