Lift up your voice like a trumpet. Tell My people their sins. And again,
I already alluded to this, but why isn't God answering? Why isn't God
answering? They fasted, but they're going through the motions.

They didn't remove wickedness. And see, that's a word that kind of
throws Christians off. I'm not wicked, Shane.

Well, wickedness, if you look in the Hebrew, interpret the word
wickedness in the Hebrew language, what does it mean? It just means
things that oppose the will and ways of God. So there is a lot of
wickedness in the church. Things that are opposing the will and ways of
God.
