Still not sure where we will be laying our heads in a few weeks from now,
but know Father God knows, and that is good enough for me.
Will be spending the next few days going over what the Lord had, has to say about us (the church) in Revelation 2 and 3
Revelation 2:2-7
“I know your deeds and your toil and perseverance,
{Steady persistence in adhering to the words (commandments) of Christ Jesus}
and that you cannot tolerate evil men,
{do you put up with evil people in your life?}
and you put to the test those who call themselves apostles, and they are not, and you found them to be false;
{do you test the words spoken by the teachers in your church or the teachers you fallow online, tv or radio?
To you test them by the words from GODs?
Or do you just blindly follow because of who they are?}
and you have perseverance and have endured for My name’s sake, and have not grown weary.
{is this you?
have you steadily continued to adhere to the teachings of Christ Jesus?
Do you carry on in the will of Christ despite hardships and suffering?
To prove the words of Christ Jesus to be true?
Or have you become physically or mentally tired doing or teaching the word of GOD?
Do you grow tired, feel exhausted after spending time in church teaching or learning?
are you unable to wait patiently on the Lord?
are you unable to refrain from interfering with the timeline of Christ Jesus when you think His answer is delayed, or His timing is off?}
But I have this against you, that you have left your first love.
Therefore, remember from where you have fallen, and repent and do the deeds you did at first; or else I am coming to you and will remove your lampstand out of its place—unless you repent.
{is Christ Jesus as alive to you today as HE was the first day you asked Him in to your life?
Do you remember what Christ brought you out of.
From what sins you have been saved from?
Have you repented of your sins you have fallen back in to?
Repent of your daily sins. Repent.}
Yet this you do have, that you hate the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
{the Nicolaitans practiced idolatry and immorality,
Idolatry = the blind or excessive devotion to someone or something other than GOD.
Worship of false god’s, idols; images, or anything which is not God In this country there is worship of homes, cars, trucks, phones, laptops, computers, clothing, a hole sloe for inanimate objects made by mankind, movies and movie actors,even animals.
And all are made out to be a necessity but in reality, they are being worshiped.
And a majority of them lead many down the path of immorality.
In Matthew 5:27-28, Jesus takes the commandment
‘YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT ADULTERY’
To a hole new level, He takes it from not only the act but to our thoughts.
Matthew 5:27-28
“You have heard that it was said,
‘YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT ADULTERY’;
but I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.”
How much immorality do you allow in to your eyes and ears every day?
How long will you put up with it?
Each and every time you hear or see immorality it builds a bearer between you and GOD,
you can take down the bearer by repenting.
To repent is to remove and turn away, walk away from the sin and turn to GOD.
Take the time you spend in sin, turn and spend that time in the word of GOD.}
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
To him who overcomes,
I will grant to eat of the tree of life which is in the Paradise of God.”
