Where Is The Burdened

I read a old statistic, that said, “85 people every minuet, will die.” How pitiful! Out of these 85 people per minute, we know that 99.9 percent of them are not born’ again. For even most of those that claim to be a Christian, will die lost. As I said, that statistic was old! How much more it would be now! I have told some people this very statistic this week, and they turned a deaf ear, and not one thought of all the souls going to hell came to their mind. Their business of “life” went on the same. Unhindered, unbroken, unburdened. These three words, describes where the church is today. How tragic! Beloved, lets be honest… we are mostly the same way. I know I am. O how one day I can feel such heaviness of heart, for these lost, to only go the next with it the last thought on my mind. I ask myself, “where is the burden? Why can I go so unbroken, and unhindered, as if I had not a care, nor call, for those souls, lost and flooding the borders of hell?! What gives me the right, to be so unmoved?”

We must replace unhindered, unbroken and unburdened, with agony, anguish and action. And return to the place of Jeremiah! He was so burdened for his people, that God brought him to a baptism of anguish! He would later be called, “the weeping prophet.” His eyes would run with tears continually. Tears would drip off of his face at night. He would contend with God, and conquer hell… but he first had a burden. We have no more “weeping prophets” raised up today, simply because we all want it easy. We don’t want to labor in agony with God, in prayer for hours and days. We don’t want to fast and read our bible. We, in other words, don’t really care as much as we say we do about those dying going to hell ever minute! We lie to ourselves, and even slap God in the face, when we say this calling is not ours. No, beloved, this is a call to everyone. But only those truly born again will search to find it. I am sorry that 99 percent of you reading this, though you may cry for a few moments, and feel a little saddened at heart for a hour, will not learn what the burden of God is. “Is it a sin not to?” you ask. I have to say yes. All those that was not weeping with Jeremiah, was fighting against him, so therefore we only have two types of people, the burdened and the sinners. Which are you going to be?
