The Revelation of Jesus Christ
1:3 Blessed is he that reads, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.
1:5-6 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. To Him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in His own blood, And has made us kings and priests to God and His Father; to Him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
1:7 ¶ Behold, He cometh with clouds; and every eye will see Him, and they also which pierced Him: and all kindreds of the earth will wail because of Him. Even so, Amen.
1:18 I am He that lives, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
2:2 I know your works, and your labor, and your patience, and how you cannot bear them which are evil: and you have tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:
2:3 And have borne, and have patience, and for my name's sake have labored, and have not fainted.
2:4 Nevertheless, I have somewhat against you, because you have left your first love.
2:5 Remember therefore from where you are fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come to you quickly, and will remove your candlestick out of his place, except you repent.
2:6 But this you have, that you hate the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.

Good things we are to be and do:
2:2 try those who say they are apostles (teachers of the word of Jesus Christ), but are not, and have found them liars. {as a believer in and a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ we are to try; test, examine, judge what they say and do to the word of God. To determine if they are of Jesus or of the antichrist.}
2:3 And have borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast labored, and have not fainted. {to borne; to not be persuaded by deserves, false teachers or miss lead Christians, to hold fast to your beliefs the word of God, the teaching and leading of the holy Spirit placed in you by the Father by the request on your behalf of the Lord Jesus Christ,} {being patience; the ability to endure difficult circumstances. Could be in the form of a time delay, the form of persecution by false believers, can also be called endurance when in midst of a trial you hold fast to the teachings of the words of God and the teachings of the Holy Spirit in you, patience the evidence of holding fast to the truth of the Lord Jesus Christ no matter what others may say or do.} {to labored and not faint; to do the works the Lord Jesus Christ has directed you to do, to stand strong not being distracted by the world and its ways nor by the deceivers in and out of the church. To greatly desire and look forward to the day of the return of the Lord Jesus Christ, to hold fast to the teachings of the Holy Spirit which Jesus aske the Father to place in you, who dwells with in you, to teach and direct you through your walk in Christ.}

Summary of Revelation
2:2-3 We are to try, test, make a judgment of those who speak the words of the Bible, comparing them to the words of the Trinity in His Bible, and what the Holy Spirit has taught you and shown you in the Spirit.
(That means you need to be in the word of God, the Bible, on your own and that you actually need to listen to and obey the Spirit of God that has been placed in you if you are a believer in and fallower of the Lord Jesus Christ)
We are to stand fast in the truth not being persuaded by false profits, teachers or ones we may call friends or my look up to nor are we to become weary nor are we to become relaxed in our faith in Jesus Christ.
NO ONE SHOULD BE LOOKED UP TO, but Father God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, the three in one, the almighty GOD. Amen, Amen and Amen.

But don’t take my word for it, if you are a Christian ask the Holy Spirit whom the Father has pleased in you to show you the truth, and then be quiet and give Him a chance to be heard, He will not yell at you for you to hear Him, you have to be still and listen for His still small voice. So ask, still your spirit, and wait for Him to speak to you.
