Day 4 of a few.
More; going over what the Lord had, has to say about us (the church) in Revelation 2 and 3
Revelation 2:19-29 2:19
“I know your deeds, and your love and faith and service and perseverance, and that your deeds of late are greater than at first.
{ our Lord Jesus knows who we are and what we do.
Does He know you for your love?
Mathew 22:37 and 39
“Do you love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. And you shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
John 15:12-13
“This is My commandment, that you love one another, just as I have loved you.
Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends.”
Do you love the Lord your God?
Do you love your neighbor?
Are you willing to give your life for a friend?
Don’t let that scar you from loving your neighbor, yes it literally means your life, but i believe it goes far beyond that.
Are you willing to give of your time?
Are you willing to give from what the Lord your God has given you?
Think about it. }
2:20
But I have this against you,
that you tolerate the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, and she teaches and leads My bond-servants astray so that they commit acts of immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols.
{ do you tolerate jezebels in your life?
Jezebel refers to a woman who is regarded as evil and scheming, a bold and vicious, one who is cruel and immoral.
A woman who lives a life that worship false gods, and connives others into do the same.
A shameless impudent scheming manipulating woman, a woman who lives in adultery and draws others in to her way of life. }
2:21-23
I gave her time to repent, and she does not want to repent of her immorality.
Behold, I will throw her on a bed of sickness, and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of her deeds.
And I will kill her children with pestilence, and all the churches will know that I am He who searches the minds and hearts; and I will give to each one of you according to your deeds.
{ Harsh NO. Just YES. The Lord will give you time and opportunities to repent but if you are not willing to repent and turn from your sins, He (the Lord) will deal with you. }
2:24
But I say to you, the rest, who do not hold this teaching, who have not known the deep things of Satan, as they call them I place no other burden on you.
2:25
Nevertheless, what you have, hold fast until I come.
{ you have faith in our Lord Christ Jesus?
Have you turned repented and turned from your sins?
Are you living to love the Lord Jesus?
Are you loving the Lord your God with all your heart, soul and mind?
Or
are you still tolerating the influence of the jezebels in your life? }
2:26-29
"He who overcomes,
and he who keeps My deeds until the end,
TO HIM I WILL GIVE AUTHORITY OVER THE NATIONS; AND HE SHALL RULE THEM WITH A ROD OF IRON, AS THE VESSELS OF THE POTTER ARE BROKEN TO PIECES, as I also have received authority from My Father; and I will give him the morning star.
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”
{ think about it. Call yourself a Christian, you are the Church. }
