Laughing At God
I've visited many churches, both successful and in decline. I asked God why, if your presence is so powerful, are many churches that need your help failing? God finally revealed the reason.
Recently, as a Christian, I attended Rosh Hashanah services and during the service the story of Abraham, Sarah, and Issac was discussed. Later God kept that story in my mind as if he was telling me to look further into the details. A few days later God answered my question as to why so many churches, and Christians, are failing.
God pointed out to me that in the story of Abraham and Sarah, Sarah laughed when told that she will bear a child even though she was very old, for which Sarah was rebuked for her unbelief. And in the story of John the Baptist, in the first chapter of Luke, Zacharias did not believe that he and and his wife would ever bear a child and Zacharias was rebuked into silence for his unbelief.
Notice that those who doubted God's will were all rebuked, some even rebuked into silence. I see the same pattern in many failing Christian churches where the ministers, and members of the congregation, all begin to laugh at their own members of the church whenever those faithful to God's righteousness believe that God will produce an outcome that seems impossible and/or improbable.
God chooses the weakest in the eyes of the proud and haughty to do his will, even if the proud and haughty are dirt poor. Whoever chooses to laugh, or doubt God's selection of those individuals that will carry out God's will in this world, they will be rebuke into silence until his will is fulfilled and a righteous behavior is restored.
God Bless
