“All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.” – 2 Timothy 3:16-17

The word “inspiration” in the above verse is the Greek word, theopneustos, which means “divinely breathed in.”  In other words, God divinely breathed His word into the writers of the Scripture.   In my opinion, He still breathes words into His ministers today.  He has something that He wants to say and it is not “Your Best Life Now.”  He wants to wake up a slumbering Christianity and shake up a rapidly disintegrating world.

The problem is that pulpits are being filled by hirelings and heretics.  Additionally, they are filled by genuinely called men of God who are intimidated into tiptoeing around fiery truth.  They are afraid of losing people.  Some churches are so deep in debt that debt is like an austere room monitor in a library imposing and restrictive of any words that might rattle the cages.  Many pastors have become “benign parsons”, loved by all, but presiding over spiritual death camps.

It is tragic when a man is intelligent and articulate enough to preach a good sermon, but not anointed enough to inspire a change in anyone’s life. I’ve known men like that all my Christian life. They build churches, draw great crowds, avoid saying or doing anything controversial, but it’s all just religiosity.

I pray that God will send some gate shakers. I’m talking about preachers who are not deterred by the locked gates guarding people’s hearts. At this dark and evil hour, the world needs fiery prophetic voices that ignore the pastoring how-to books, the public relations manual from denomination headquarters, and just let the Holy Spirit breath through their words.

Let a fire breath and it will get hotter. 
“…for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.” – 2 Peter 1:21

Open the religious dampers!  Let there be a free flow of the Divine Breath from heaven!  Preach without fear and worry about negative reaction or rejection!

If people don’t shake up and wake up, the world as we know it is going to fall like a mountain into a cauldron of simmering wickedness so vile the entire planet will teem with unprecedented demonic activity. It can’t wait, this business of dispensing fire-breathed truth. Don’t hold back! There will be no need to preach “return and repent” when the Bridegroom comes and the door slams shut.
