The last four churches are almost done. Really trying to get Quality not verbage. Don't like that. Pray for me.

Prayer for growth

Let us come to Him to receive from His word now. The Holy Spirit is in us, He is real and a Person. So lets pray to the Father so the Spirit can reveal to us the Word of God. "Father, in the Name of Jesus we come to you, to know you and your Word so we can honor You in our being and in our life. We Pray that You enable us to receive Your Word in meekness that it become real to us and in us in genuiness, that in can produce faith by your love Father. That Christ can be formed fully in us Father, that we can know what is the riches of Your Glory in us Your saints and Your Power towords us and Your Word. Forgive us of any sins Father, Thank You so much Father that we can know You and be something from You. Amen."

Rev 1:17-20

¹⁷When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. Then he placed his right hand on me and said: "Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last. ¹⁸I am the Living One; I was dead, and behold I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades.
¹⁹"Write, therefore, what you have seen, what is now and what will take place later. ²⁰The mystery of the seven stars that you saw in my right hand and of the seven golden lampstands is this: The seven stars are the angelsof the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.

We are currently putting this study to page....

Revelation 2

The Loveless Church

¹ “To the angel of the church of Ephesus write,
‘These things says He who holds the seven stars in His right hand, who walks in the midst of the seven golden lampstands: ² “I know your works, your labor, your patience, and that you cannot bear those who are evil. And you have tested those who say they are apostles and are not, and have found them liars; ³ and you have persevered and have patience, and have labored for My name’s sake and have not become weary. ⁴ Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love. ⁵ Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works, or else I will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its place—unless you repent. ⁶ But this you have, that you hate the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
⁷ “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God.”’

Stars represent Angels. These Angles minister to the Minister of the Chruch and the church. He holds them ,basically the ministers in His hand----he then if you look at it can Remove the Misters and the Church---think about it.

Jesus opens saying, “I know your works”. Works can be good and can be bad.
What Jesus says in these works is that it is mostly good, and He says He knows their Labor, The works are the acts and the Labor is from within themselves for the Lord and how they endure to see it through trusting for the outcome and NOT ALOWING FOR ANYTHING EVIL. “...,and you cannot bear with them who are evil.” They have tested those who claim to have Power with God to build churches and save people and found them to be lyers. They keeped going and looking for t the Lords Name. His Name represents how He is and How He moves in life as a Being. And they are perserving and having joy waiting to see the Works to His NAME that they are doing WITHOUT BECOMING WEARY!!! Everything is on target, they started out with a love of being saved. wanting to please him and they keep to the word that they know of his 'NAME'. But along the way the 'works' became a place of their salvation instead of the Lord and the 'word' become a fine tooth comb that was revealed by Works to the Word, that was Lord had become to them and something is missiong.....with their 'word' that they are believing now. For the Lord shows them in the last statement of his. “To him who overcomes will I give to eat of the tree of life in the midst of the garden.”

You could tell that Jesus meant what He said, that He would come quickly and remove their church. The ministers or ministering Spirit of the church was alright but if they didn't repent and not start to Use the Word without a Devotion ONLY TO JESUS AND THE LOVE OF HIM SO THE WORD WOULD HAVE THE LIFE OF GOD NOT JUST THE DOCTINE OF GOD WITHOUT HIS LIFE. THEY WOULD START TO DRY UP and BE REMOVED. Only in Love with Jesus and the Lord and in Comunion with Him and His Spirit------not the Works. The works are good but they became the way of being right and producing so called life not Jesus Fruit from His Relationship to Himself so He Builds the Church not OUR WORKS.

The Persecuted Church

⁸ “And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write,
‘These things says the First and the Last, who was dead, and came to life: ⁹ “I know your works, tribulation, and poverty (but you are rich); and I know the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan. ¹⁰ Do not fear any of those things which you are about to suffer. Indeed, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and you will have tribulation ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.
¹¹ “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes shall not be hurt by the second death.”’

Now Jesus gives the Clue to that despensitional Characterisic that He is trying to Purge out of us and what He is trying to instill in by His opening and closing statements and they are: ‘These things says the First and the Last, who was dead, and came to life: ---1 and #2 is----- He who overcomes shall not be hurt by the second death.”’ Look how Jesus says. He is the First and The Last, Who was Dead and came to Life. This church is one that has a fear of Being Persecuted and because of how the People are afraid of ‘LOOKING AND OR BEING ‘POOR’-----Jesus calls them ‘RICH’. Salvation is not based on ‘Wealth’ and the standards of Man. Many of the most powerful men and Women have died Poor serving others and in Higher spirits of Gods presence than the Rich. People who believe they are “worthless because they are ‘POOR’ and are presecuted because they “LOVE JESUS”, these traits from mans wisdom starts a process in you to give up because of it and because it starts to look like UNTO DEATH. And it isn’t Unto Just Death that starts to Creep in it is unto the Second Death. Fear of Judgement because We don’t fit in to Mans Wealth and way of Living. We get a fear of Second Death. That Jesus says He will not allow Us to see if We Hold to Our Confession of HIM EVEN IF WE SEE DEATH. “NOT DEATH REALLY AT ALL.” TO DEPART FROM THE BODY IS TO BE PRESENT WITH THE LORD. Jesus isn’t trying to save them from it. He is impowering them to not BE AFRAID OF IT---To Him Who OVERCOMES WILL NOT BE HURT BY THE SECOND DEATH. If we have a fear of Death Jesus can take it away because sometimes it wraps itself into some kind of you are going to Taist the Second Death to get a Power over Us So We will DENY HIS NAME. Jesus even calls this Persecution---TESTING. THE FEAR OF PERSECUTION HOLDS IT’S POWER IN THE FEAR OF THE SECOND DEATH. IF WE REALLY BELIEVE WE WILL NEVER REALLY DIE IF WE ARE BORN AGAIN AND HOLD TO JESUS’S NAME IT WILL TAKE THE ‘STING’ OUT OF ANY DEATH THREAT. THERE IS NO ‘SECOND DEATH TO REAL CHRISTIANS!!!! PRAISE GOD. YOU WILL BE IN THE GLORY OF THE ‘RISEN LORD WHO CAN NEVER DIE ANYMORE’.

The Compromising Church

¹² “And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write,
‘These things says He who has the sharp two-edged sword: ¹³ “I know your works, and where you dwell, where Satan’s throne is. And you hold fast to My name, and did not deny My faith even in the days in which Antipas was My faithful martyr, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells. ¹⁴ But I have a few things against you, because you have there those who hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit sexual immorality. ¹⁵ Thus you also have those who hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate. ¹⁶ Repent, or else I will come to you quickly and will fight against them with the sword of My mouth.
¹⁷ “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden manna to eat. And I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written which no one knows except him who receives it.”’

Two edged sword

I know your works

Where you dwell=where Satan throne Is:

do not deny his faith===his 'word!'

Do not be like the devil, making Gods 'Word' fit to oour liking!

"The Spirit will lead and guide into ALL TRUTH.

The Lord is susposed to sit on the throne of our hearts---revealing what His 'Word' IS and "Ruling " Not us or our Self Righteous Murderiouos law of things. The devil comes like an Angel of Light using the word of God out of Context or even making our sees what it really isn't because of our Sin, Jelousy, bitter envy, Fear, Doubt, Rebeliion. God is not going to beat you up. If you are learning and not wanting to Eat the Sheep or the Lost. The devil eats His Own --- You can tell by what's in our own hearts. Don't be ignorant of His devices. And don't Fleace His sheep, rob from them like the devil. Or make yourself a Position-----If God HImself did not Give You. WHY DO YOU WANT TO ROB FROM GOD. YOU WILL KNOW FOR A FACT IF IT IS FROM GOD IT OVERRIDES YOUR DESIRE OF WANT. IF IT IS JUST YOUR WANT IT IS PROBABLE NOT GOD--OR YOU GOT JUNK IN THE WAY. YOU NEED TO FIND OUT AND YOU WILL KNOW FOR SURE. GOD CAN TRUELY BUILD HIS CHURCH. SOME OF THE GREATEST MEN AND WOMEN ARE "JUST PEOPLE WHO SAVE AND LOVE GODS LIFE IN THE REAL WORLD WITH PEOPLE" THEY SEE MORE FROM GOD THEN THOSE BEHIND THE PULPIT. So some people are in positions of Pastors, Evangelist, Prophets, ect... Secretaries.......Janitors. That God did not tell you that He want's you to do. And because You want to be something that God hasn't really built or raised you for it will be rough and you can die in parts of your llife and not go to far because it's not Gods will. You say, "But I see God Work" He will honor His 'Word' for His 'Word' sake not because of you. You are Robbing from the people that are susposed to do Gods work and that is one Reason why you probable can have some hateful Jeliousy in you and Critical defaming in you. This positional Pride like Satan is a trait of the Nicolations. Even their Name means to Deny--Reject in some kind of way. These persons reject stong good men of God from coming into their so Called Church they think they own and feeding and building the Body of Christ. These are the same ones mentioned in Acts who Withstood Paul and His company from teaching in the Church.

God will Deal with you if that is You.

God wants to Rule in the Hearts of Men. Gods Greatest throne to those HE Loves--- if You believe HE is that 'Good.' Satan wants to rule on that throne and Rule Men to never wanting to Listen to God but will Steal from Him(God) if He can by Stealing from US--Acting Like Him-the devil-Angel of Light.

Look at this next verse.

Who "taught" Balak to put a stumling block

"To eat from things Sacrifieced to Idols. When you worship something BESIDES GOD! and you keep it before God in a manuving in you to get it besides following Gods leading and Giving up of it. If we cant't give it up and it is before God --it is probable and Idol. "GOOD THINGS" ARE THE "BEST IDOLS" ANDKeep us from Maturity and not hurting other people through fear, Revenge, because we think they are after our "stuff". Maybe a little, tiny little truth their but if you are Secure--why do you worry about it unless it is murderous pride and Idolarty. And if we can't trust God that He keeps all things and anything "really, really Good." We are probable worshiping an Idol to give us that thing which it Can't because of our Fithy Flesh or Plain want of that Sin. Now if it is or becomes a fear of losing and Holds its self Higher than God or (HIS WAY) it can be an Idol and will produce in our hearts a HIDDEN PLACE where we gurgitate ----- (eat it's Doctrine of Getting and Keeping.) ======= ".......eat things sacrificed to Idols." As the scripture above says. We will even try Confessing other wish will the best intent look about it and believe it is Gods Way. Taugh by the devil. "The High Places where we Sacrifice"---where the Angel of Light infulence us in throne of our Hearts. If God does not Tear Down these Places and First Show us them---because some of Us don't know for sure what we have been doing. "Havent Been Taught Right" or "We have been Hiding this Place to where we are NUMB and REJECT THE TRUTH BECAUSE WE WANT OUR IDOLS."

The Corrupt Church

¹⁸ “And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write,
‘These things says the Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and His feet like fine brass: ¹⁹ “I know your works, love, service, faith, and your patience; and as for your works, the last are more than the first. ²⁰ Nevertheless I have a few things against you, because you allow that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and seduce My servants to commit sexual immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols. ²¹ And I gave her time to repent of her sexual immorality, and she did not repent. ²² Indeed I will cast her into a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of their deeds. ²³ I will kill her children with death, and all the churches shall know that I am He who searches the minds and hearts. And I will give to each one of you according to your works.
²⁴ “Now to you I say, and to the rest in Thyatira, as many as do not have this doctrine, who have not known the depths of Satan, as they say, I will put on you no other burden. ²⁵ But hold fast what you have till I come. ²⁶ And he who overcomes, and keeps My works until the end, to him I will give power over the nations—
       ²⁷ ‘ He shall rule them with a rod of iron;
      They shall be dashed to pieces like the potter’s vessels’  as I also have received from My Father; ²⁸ and I will give him the morning star.
²⁹ “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”’

A dominating Spirit= to be the Big, even if they cover themselves up by not being the Boss but saying they Hear and Talk from God. Dulling Consience saying Sex outside of Believing the way God made it wonderful and noble. To wait and walk it out that way is the only way. God made it beautiful that way and we can't allow anyone in our life to say otherwise, not that God is not merciful but to say that it is Ok is wrong and we CAN'T ALLOW THAT TEACHING -- THAT ANY OTHER WAY TO HAVE SEX IS OK. This kind of Spirit says You can still walk with God it's not that Bad and in so saying she is really or the People who are in this spirit are defiling their conscience. This spirit of people will use this in other areas, maybe Greed, instead of Caring genuinely for Others. They will manipulate to feed their desires. No believing of Gods goodness really unless it helps them in their position to get 'Lust' of 'Pleasures'--mostly outside of Gods way. No preciousness and you will have no preciousness for any of Gods other stuff. Don't use Self Righteousness to cover up hatred. Believing the way Gods says things give people conviction of Good things the way God Says it's GOOD so they can Choose to be saved and it keeps the BAD OUT!!!! Condoning our Sacrifies to our Jobs instead of Loving God who Rewards, condoning our Worship of Dating instead of God who gives us the Ability to Date and enjoy the Way God made it not Worship it. These people make you feel good so they can be number one and will take you straight to HELL. GOD IS SO ANGRY AT THESE TYPES OF SEDUCING PEOPLE, HE EVEN SAYS HE HAS SHOWN THEM HIS TRUE WAY BUT THEY REFUSED IT AND ARE SEDUCING HIS PEOPLE TO BELIEVE THESE LIES SO THEIR LIVES CAN'T REALLY PRODUCE GOOD FRUIT AND IT KILLS HIS PEOPLE BECAUSE IT IS SIN. GOD is going to make them Sick and tribulation. Breaking Gods goodness to a Sexual Life of Beauty and Grace with Fun the Way GOD MADE IT, NOT TO GET IT SOMEOTHER WAY, will start to make your life Sick and tribulation from the fruit and junk you have in you.

Jezebel = chaste, not dwelling: a Hebrew definition

This woman nature exist in men or woman who have not real dwelling in God and us a sense of Chaste outside of Gods way. So seducing in achieving whatever they want. Lots of Lust evolved and hidden.

Eating meat sacrificed to Idols yet in the house of God. Don't let this Nature of Condoning sound Good doctrine of any Idolatry in your church or enjoying the fruits from such worship, worship of family, worship of work, worship of money. Watering down also Sexual morality saying it isn't that bad God understands. You need to Eat food from Him who's eyes are a Flame of Fire. Good sound securing 'Word' not watered down seducing like the Depths of Satan ==== Surely God didn't say it like He said. The voice that spoke to Eve and Adam in the Garden.

Make a decision and walk it all the way through to Enjoy Pure Living Word and THE ONE WHO IS TO BE WORSHIPED AND NOTHING ELSE.. NOT A MARAGIGE, NOT WORK, NOT MONEY, NOT PRESTIGE, NOT HOW GOOD I LOOK, NOT HOW MUCH FUN I AM. NOT HOW MANY FRIENDS I HAVE.

MAKE SURE YOU BELIEVE IN THE 'BEAUTY OF MARIAGE' FROM THE BEGINNING TO THE END AND MAKE SURE YOU BACK IT WITH A BELIEF OF 'FUN' EVEN THOUGH IT IS 'WORK' TO===ALL THE WAY TO PRODUCE FRUIT. NOT ALDULTEES.

Jesus shows that He can Rule His Church and there is no fear to trust Him and he will judge everyone of them. He searches your motives and the Root Places........not allowing seducing ways!

EYES OF FIRE AND FEET OF BRASS

ARE YOUR 'WAYS === YOUR WORKS' FINILY JUDGED BY JESUS

YOUR FEET ARE A BEAUTIFUL WAY IN WHICH YOU MOVE AND ARE ARE THEY JUDGED BY JESUS.

All Works = Walks = Ways Produce Rewards. Some unto Loss and Damnation and some unto Life and Power. “and he who overcomes and keeps my works===ways==walk, until the end. I will give Power over the nations.” Not one set of anyway of Man will be able to break you but you will Convict them and Rule over any way of Man.

We can know the way of God but we must walk it all the way to the Complete End. Don't look at eh Depths of Satan === to be seduced===”we can get away with it.”

The people who beat this, pushed all the way through this will become Power Beautiful Sons and Daughters of God. Not seducing + secret worship==eating meat sacrificed to idols

Idol meat = anything that is produced from not truly and ONLY worshiping God.

“.......and they that overcome and keep my works.” Sometimes we start Real Good but we DON'T FINISH WELL, WE COMPROMISE!!!! We have to Walk this all the way Through!!!!! Then there I s a reward. Feet of Brass.

Eyes = mirror of the soul ==== light of Jesus 'Ways' genuinely living in Us.

We will Rule over any set of Worldly ways that come are way we walk into.

“He will rule the nations with a rod of Iron and I will give him the morning star.”

The iron. The way you build is strong and power it destroys the devils kingdom in your life and those around you.

The morning star in the Greek means maturity. Your fruit is ripened and you have a Reward. More of Gods Goodness in any area you Need. Morning Star. Fresh new fruit and full good 'Ways'.

Some works are just works to look good and have lost the First Love. Some Works you have Pushed into God to Get His Heart and Love and it is More than the first. God says to Keep these Works He is all in it for Him You have pushed into. They is Great Reward in the Right Works out of God and He says to keep them and don't let this Jezibell way steal your Reward. THESE TYPES OF PEOPLE ARE ROBERS, UPSURPTERS, TO STEAL YOUR REWARDS. AND AS YOU WALK IN JESUS WORKS IT WILL FINE TUNE YOU TO GOD AND YOU WILL RULE OVER NATIONS. YOUR WAYS TO LIVE AND NOT BE DECIEVED BY ANY WAY OF MAN WILL BE COMPLETE.

THE WORKS OF JESUS WILL MATURE YOU. NOT YOUR WORKS TO MAKE HIS NAME LOOK GOOD. BUT HIS WORKS THAT YOU HAVE PRESSED INTO HIM IN.

Revelation 3

The Dead Church

¹ “And to the angel of the church in Sardis write,
‘These things says He who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars: “I know your works, that you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead. ² Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die, for I have not found your works perfect before God. ³ Remember therefore how you have received and heard; hold fast and repent. Therefore if you will not watch, I will come upon you as a thief, and you will not know what hour I will come upon you. ⁴ You have a few names even in Sardis who have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with Me in white, for they are worthy. ⁵ He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels.
⁶ “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”’

As we can tell Jesus usually shows part of the core of what He is resolved to do and for us to do in sloving the problem that is stopping us in our walk with HIM. He is never playing with like Children---there are some 'BABES in CHRIST AND I DO NOT WANT YOU WHO ARE TO GET SCARED THIS IS FOR YOU TO SEE HOW HE CAN SAVE YOU SO WELL AND NOT LET THE ONES WHO DON'T WANT TO GROW UP WHAT WILL HAPPEN!!! He gives straight "WARNING" and either we do what HE says or HE WILL DO WHAT HE SAYS. The resolve is in the beginging scripture and the ending scripture before HE says hear what the Spirit iis saying to the Church.

In this one the beginning is "I know your works, that you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead."

And the ending: "You have a few names even in Sardis who have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with Me in white, for they are worthy. ⁵ He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels.

"NAME(S)" IS A KEY, = This church defined themselves by "THEIR WORKS" ===THEY THOUGHT THE WAY THEY WERE DOING IT WAS RIGHT. GARMENTS DEFINE A STRONG PART OF THE SOUL. IT'S THE COVERING OF THE SPIRIT. JESUS SAYS THEY WERE USING THERE OWN NAME AND THOUGHT THEY WERE 'RIGHTEOUS'---HE CALLS THEM DEAD! HE KNOWS THEIR WORKS BUT THEY WERE DOING IT BY HOW THEY SAW IT, NOT BY THE REDEMING POWER OF THE "HEARING AND RECIEVING AND WATCHING ALL THE WAY THROUGH. THESE PEOPLE PROBABLE LOOKED LIKE GOOD PEOPLE, SPOKE GOOD WORDS OF GOD, HAD SOME SINS BUT USED SCRIPTURE LIKE SOME US "WHAT I WANT TO DO THAT I DON'T AND WHAT I DON'T WANT TO DO THAT I DO" TO JUSTIFY THEMSELVES. JESUS DEFINES THIS BY "HE WHO OVERCOMES WILL BE CLOTHED IN WHITE GARMENTS. SOME PEOPLE MAKE EXCUSES FOR THIER HATRED SO THEY CAN KEEP IT. FOR THEIR LUST SO THEY CAN KEEP IT. YET ALL THE WHILE DOING GOOD--GOD THINGS AND CONFESSING CHRIST. I WILL EVEN DARE TO SAY THEY ARE SAVED. BUT I WILL LET YOU LOOK AT THIS ONE SCRIPTURE AND YOU DECIDE FOR YOURSELF. JESUS SAYS, HE WILL TAKE THEIR NAME OUT OF THE BOOK OF LIFE. I THOUGH THE ONLY WAY IN THE BOOK OF LIFE WAS TO BE BORN AGAIN. AND SOME BELIEVE YOU CAN'T LOOSE YOUR SALVATION. THIS SCRIPTURE DOESN'T AGREE WITH IT.

"and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life". Go back up and read it.

YOU KNOW HOW YOU ARE SAFE---YOU ARE GROWING IN CHRIST. HE SAYS---HE IS FAITHFUL TO COMPLETE THE WORK IN YOU. NOT YOU COMPLETE BY SELF WORKS OR WORKS TO LOOK GOOD SO YOU LOOK LIKE YOU ARE GOING TO HEAVEN. YOU HAVE TO GROW IN CHRIST. AND I KNOW WE CAN TRY AND RATE PEOPLE TO SEE HOW OR WHO IS GOING TO HELL. SOME GROW SLOWING, SOME GROW FAST. LET GOD SORT IT OUT. YOU LOOK AT THE SCRIPTURES WITH 'GOD AND HIS SPIRIT' LEADING AND GUIDING YOU, HE REVEALS TRUTH. DO YOU THINK HE WANTS TO HAVE MORE FELLOWSHIP WITH US THAN WE WITH HIM. PEOPLE WHO SAY OTHER WISE I REALLY WONDER ABOUT. IF YOUR MARRIED I REALLY WONDER IF YOU ARE TRYING TO GET AWAY WITH SOMETHING.

The Faithful Church

^{7 “And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write,
‘These things says He who is holy, He who is true, “}^{He who has the key of David, He who opens and no one shuts, and shuts and no one opens”: 8 “I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name. 9 Indeed I will make those of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews and are not, but lie—indeed I will make them come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you. 10 Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth. 11 Behold, I am coming quickly! Hold fast what you have, that no one may take your crown. 12 He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall go out no more. I will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God. And I will write on him}^{My new name.
13 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”’}

^{Look and see how the Lord starts this one. To the Church Ministering Power of Brotherly Love. Now we have seen that most of the other churches have some form of rebuke, swift and sure if they do not do these things God would bring judgment on them not the Devil. Now if God is Speaking then the people should have faith to receive to already know what to do if they where paying attention to THEIR PERSONAL LOVE OF THE LORD WHERE ALL THE 'LIFE OF HIM' FLOWS FROM. GOD SHOWS HIS SOVERINGTY OVER ALL THE CHURCHES AND THEIR DOCTRINE TO BELIEVE HOW THEY WANT TO MAKE IT WORKS. A lot of the other churches he started with knowing their 'Works' in other ways how we are walking in His Life, a mix of His life and how we want it or just plain rebellion. So lets start in this Church is called the Faithful church and find out what they did and how Jesus keeps their focus so they could be Faithful and Overcome. Jesus starts with these things says He who is Holy and true. Do we know what real holiness is or are we using a false holiness of God will let me get away with somethings because I am forgiven. There is a difference when you are really trying to grow in Grace and develop out of some stuff it could be a little struggle at first for a 'Few' but God shows by His truth He keeps us from blatant sin like Murder. We could have battles with the enemy but God would lead us to HIS POWER AND WAY TO BE DELIEVED. 'HOLY AND TRUE' NOT JUST TRUE AND NOTHING WORHT IT AND NOT JUST HOLY AND NO ONE CAN WALK IN IT OR UNDERSTAND IT. Now Jesus is holding their view of True Holiness and truth that Keeps His SALVATION GOOD SO PEOPLE CAN REPENT AND ENJOY IT. NOT A HOLINESS THAT KILL TO KEEP PEOPLE OUT. HOLINESS THAT KEEEP SIN OUT BUT ALLOWS THE SINNER TO receive IT AND REALLY GROW NOT IN SELF RIGHTIOUSNESS. HIS TRUTH NOT OUR SELF MADE UP STUFF. Jesus says because they are holding this view he was going to hold a door open for them that no man can open or close. Wouldn't we feel so much more secure in knowing our lives are Sure with him and His Life. He says these things are part of the character that they had that kept them. They had little Strength. When you Get out of 'YOUR SELF SEFINICEY' YOU MIGHT FIND OUT HOW MUCH HIS SOVERINGTY IS THE ONLY WAY HE WILL REVEAL HIS LIFE BY AND TO HIS 'WORD'. HE DOES IT HE GIVE THE MEANING NOT OUR I WILL HAVE MY LITTLE HATE/MURDER OVER HERE OR OVER THERE OR A LITTLE LUST OVER HERE OR OVER THERE ETC........It says they kept His word not I kept the way I want You Lord to keep your word. They trusted God to PROVE HIS “WORD” not us prove it to the way we want it to be. And they did not deny His 'Name' the name connotes the character of something and the Authority of what it is. Is your Jesus name Vague or Self-rightious so you can do what you want. Is if fearful that HE CAN'T prove himself. Do we Allow His name into that One or Two areas that are really Stopping us from going all the Way into an 'Overcoming Life of God' FULL OF POWER OF HIS LIFE TO US. REMEMBER HE IS ETERNAL, DON'T LET YOUR IMAGINATION STOP YOU. HE IS BEYOND THAT THIS IS REALITY. DEAL WITH EACH POINT HE IS LEADING IN YOUR HEART AND TRUST HIM SAVING YOU SO YOU CAN TRUST HIM SAVING OTHERS AND 'KNOW ' HE IS NOT A LIER. He starts to show what they have been dealing with to 'Overcome'. You notice it is not Sinners or the Devil but Religious people who would be the type to try influence you to believe in God their Way. Not those who reject God or who want to live Ungodly and are around you. But those who Say they are of God and Really are of the Devil. Whether they are Sinners or walk in the House of God of a building God says because You have stood Good to me and my Life to You. Learning from Me and My Authority to Prove my Word in Spirit and in Truth not self made law that can justify anything to judge something else. And one of the Greatest traits is Revealed in their True Faith and it is PESERVENCE. IF THEY WILL PESERVER GOD WILL KEEP THEM FROM A TRIAL THAT WILL TRY ALL MEN. NOW THESE PEOPLE ARE DEAD WHAT TRIAL IS HE TALKING ABOUT. IT MUST TRY ALL WHO DWELL ON THE EARTH. WHY WOULD GOD TELL SOMEONE TO BE STRONG TO GO THROUGH A TRIAL IF THEY WERE NOT GOING TO GO THROUGH IT OR SO THEY WOULD HAVE ALREADY BEAT THE TRIAL. I'M NOT SAYING THAT THERE ISN'T GOING TO BE A TRIAL IN LAST DAYS BUT THAT GOD IS PROVING A CHARACTER IN MAN THAT PASSES A TEST ALL MEN MUST PASS TO BE THIS KIND OF OVERCOMER AND NOT GO THROUGH SOME THINGS. Jesus closes with the Overcoming statement of Let him hear what the spirit says to the Churches not a God I can make up in my mind to make myself feel right. And because you don't bow to False holiness using false Discernment to prove a self rightous hatred to make yourself look like a Good God Fearing Person = A Jew. But you have kept a Name of Jesus and Love Him your first love and know He can kept those completely to himself---read the new testament, how God can keep and save all those who come to Him to the Uttermost. We who do this will be Pillars in the house of God and we will Know the Value of His Gods Name. Not the Name of our mind and How we want God to be, the understanding of His Names of His Father, His City and the People He Love, and How the City Works that we are a Part of and of HIM and How He is ABOVE ALL THINGS THAT HE HAS GIVEN US WHO OVERCOME NOT TRY AND KILL AND BE STEAL GODS THRONE AND 'SAY WHAT HEAVENS WAYS ARE LIKE'. BUT WE HAVE LISTENED AND PESERVERED TO HIS SPIRIT LIFE OF HOLINESS AND TRUTH FROM HIM NOT SELF MADE UP STUFF. GIVING LIFE OF HIM IN HIS LOVE.}

^{THE FAITHFUL CHURCH......}

The Lukewarm Church

¹⁴ “And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write,
‘These things says the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God: ¹⁵ “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. ¹⁶ So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth. ¹⁷ Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked— ¹⁸ I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see. ¹⁹ As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent. ²⁰ Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. ²¹ To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.
²² “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”’”

Remeber Jesus uses His opening and closing statements to identify and how He is going to destroy the problem.

The 'Amen'

The absolute Authority!!!! Nothing else can settle anything. Not YOUR USE OF OTHER GOOD THINGS TO MAKE YOU INDIFFERENT TO WHAT HE IS SAYING IS THE ROOT PROBLEM IN YOU RELATIONSHIP OR WALK. GOD SAYS NOT YOU OF YOUR MIND. Not our passiveness or saying we believe so we don't have to do it. It's not about believing that saves us. IT”S OBEYING BY RELATIONSHIP. DO YOU THINK HE WANT'S TO HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU MORE THAN YOU DO OR THINK IT'S SERIOUS BUT REALLY DON'T PURSUE IT BUT ONLY THE WAY TO MAKE YOU LOOK RIGHT TO GOD.

YOU NEED TO BE FAITHFUL TO THE 'WORD' BY HIS SPIRIT-----GIVING IT LIFE NOT YOUR SELF RIGHTEOUS HELL. OR WEAK IT'S ALRIGH GOD FORGIVES LETTING SIN PASS BECAUSE YOU ARE REALLY SCARED. BOTH EXTREEMS ARE COVERED IN I WANT TO BE RIGHT IN MY OWN EYES AND DON'T THINK GOD CAN KEEP HIS OWN RULES.

“The True Witness”

Lukewarm people have a fake sense of witness that everything is alright or use judgment to get away with not loving People but saying otherwise. They won't love them even though they say they do because they want them to go to Hell instead of being Saved. Others just want God to leave them alone and make sure they go to heaven as long as they don't really have to believe in anything Holy unless it lets them sin. One false sense of witness is people think they are alright and use it to condone getting away with sin or that God somehow is going to FAIL IN SAVING HIS PEOPE AND BLESSING THEM SO THE CONDEMN EVERONE ELSE and bring to confusing those who are 'Seeking' to Honor God even though they have struggles and character faults they really want to change if they could or even would love to Have a Different Heart. This people stop these that are hungry.
