First questions of the day:
Why do you keep ponding on the door GOD has shut?
Why wont you go through the door GOD has opened for you?
Why do you continue trying to forge your own path through life?
Why do you blame GOD when your choices have been wrong (evil) ?
Day 6 of a few.
More; going over what the Lord had, has to say about us (the church) in Revelation 2 and 3
Revelation 3:8-13
“I know your deeds.
Behold,
I have put before you an open door which no one can shut, because you have a little power, and have kept My word, and have not denied My name.
Behold,
I will cause those of the synagogue of Satan, who say that they are Jews and are not, but lie
I will make them come and bow down at your feet, and make them know that I have loved you.
Because you have kept the word of My perseverance, I also will keep you from the hour of testing,
that hour which is about to come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.
I am coming quickly; hold fast what you have, so that no one will take your crown.
He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he will not go out from it anymore; and 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 My new name.
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”
{{{ “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”
As believers in and followers of the Lord Christ Jesus; we are the church.
As the church need to listen to the Spirit that GOD has given to live in each of us.
We need to be so entuned with the Spirit that we instantly follow His instructions.
When the Lord opens a door, we should quickly and eagerly walk through it, but when He closes a door, we have no reason to even approach it.
If we are in tune to hear the Holy Spirit, we will hear His lead and hearing it we should quickly follow (obey) His lead.
Even having a little power (straight in Christ) we can keep (obey), and have the power / straight to not deny Him when we are persecuted and threatened.
If you are a faults Christian, know that the Lord God will deal with you.
GOD is very generous with us, His perseverance is long steady, His persistence stays the course for our salvation, it does not grow weary nor faint.
If only our perseverance towards Him and His teaching were even just one percent of His what a difference it would make in our lives.
“That hour which is about to come upon the whole world”
The hour of testing;
Even now look around.
The church is being tested, and sadly a lot of church organizations, congregations and church individuals have, and are failing the test before them.
Some have even gone as far as to say that Jesus was just a good man, that not all of the bible is true,
that we cannot follow all the commandments set forth in the Bible.
That we must tolerate the evil in mankind, tolerating the sins of others in the church, sounds like the teachings and doctrine of the Jezebels, Balaam, Balak and the Nicolaitans, which Christ Jesus Himself said “The Nicolaitans, which I also hate.”
It seems a majority of the church has bought in to those teachings and are failing the test set before them. }}}
{{{ some will argue that the testing spoken of here is that which will take place during the seven years of tribulation, i agree.
i have been brought to understand that we are all being tested daily and that the daily testing is getting stronger and stronger.
If you can not past the test, we all go through daily now,
how will you pass the test once you are faced with the tribulation?
If you cannot control your fleshly desires now, how will you control them then?
Now is the time to humble yourself turn to the Lord Jesus, repent of and turn away from your sins, you may not have another day to do so.
Matthew 6:27
“And who of you by being worried can add a single hour to his life?
If you can’t add time to your life by being worried, by thinking about it or by being anxious, you can’t plan on having even tomorrow.
Now is the day, now is the time.
What choice will you make?
Give it all to the Lord our GOD, except the Lord Jesus and start living for Him and Him alone?
Or
will you choose to continue to fallow the ways of the worldly church and the teachings and doctrine of the Jezebels, Balaam, Balak and the Nicolaitans.
The choice is yours to make. }}}
That hour which is about to come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.
I am coming quickly; hold fast what you have, so that no one will take your crown.
Jesus said because you have kept the word of My perseverance, I also will keep you from the hour of testing.
Will you be ready?
