Revelation
3:14-22
To
the angel of the Church of Laodicea [insert
America] write:
These
are the words of the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness,
The
Ruler of God's Creation.
I
know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot.
I
wish you were either one or the other!
So,
because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold--
I
AM about to spit you out of My mouth.
You
say, 'I am rich, I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.'
But
you do not realize that you are wretched,
Pitiful,
poor, blind and naked.
I
counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire,
So
you can become rich;
And
white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness;
And
slave to put on your eyes, so you can see.
Those
whom I love I rebuke and discipline.
So
be earnest, and repent.
Here
I AM! I stand at the door and knock.
If
anyone hears My voice and opens the door,
I
will come in and eat with him, and he with Me.
To
him who overcomes,
I
will give the right to sit with Me on My Throne,
Just
as I overcame and sat down with My Father on His Throne.
He
who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
This
Time period is after the Resurrection of Christ Jesus;
After Pentecost and
before the last apostle died.
Christ is speaking to
those Christians who were water washed,
Blood washed, filled
with the Holy spirit
And conversing with
those of the first twelve apostles.
Christ Jesus
declares that He is the Amen [It will be as I say],
The Faithful and True
Witness during His time on earth,
And through His people,
upon His resurrection,
The Ruler of God's
Creation as the King of kings and Lord of lords.
He
knows that the Church of Laodicea [America]
Is
neither hot or cold toward Him,
And wishes that they
were either one or the other,
As they would be easier
to deal with that way.
Because they are
lukewarm,
Christ Jesus is about
to spit them out of His mouth,
And sever relationship
with them altogether;
The cold of course are
already lost.
The Laodicean
[Amerian] Church says of themselves,
By their words and
their actions,
That they are rich and
in need of nothing.
However, Christ Jesus
finds them wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked.
God's view is
diametrically the opposite of the Church's view of themselves.
Christ Jesus
counsels the church to come to Him
And buy gold refined in
the fire;
Allowing the Holy
Spirit to live in and through them;
Then they would become
rich in Christ by the Power of His Holy Spirit;
They would have gold
refined in the fire of His Holy Spirit;
Then the would have
white clothes to wear,
To cover their shameful
nakedness;
Then they would have
salve to put on their eyes, so that they could see.
They would have actions
and deeds motivated by the Holy Spirit.
Christ
Jesus declares that He rebukes and disciplines those He loves;
He always warns them
when they have gone astray.
He admonishes them to
be earnest and repent;
Their very lives are at
stake, Eternally.
Christ Jesus stands at
the door of every person
Who claims His name and
knocks.
Those who hear, open
the door to Him,
And He comes in and
eats with them,
And has intimate
communion with them.
To
those who overcome this world and its ways
And the evil one who
rules it.
He will give the right
to sit with Him on His throne,
Just as He sits at the
right hand of God the Father on His throne.
Those of us who have an
ear,
Must hear what the
Spirit is saying to His Church.
Today, the
American Church must awaken itself and be hot for God,
Full of the fire and
passion of His Holy Spirit;
An all consuming zeal
for God;
Possessing gold refined
in the fire of God;
Having actions and
deeds that we can present to Christ Jesus,
That have been
accomplished through Christ in us.
The
American Church
Must become like the
Church we read about in the Book of Acts;
The Church birthed out
of Pentecost, with Power and Fire.
That is the only Church
that belongs to Christ Jesus.
Today,
the world is raging against God, rushing toward oblivion. (Psalm 2)
America
is being ground to powder because of her SIN against God.
Save
yourself from this Corrupt Generation! (Acts 2:40)
As
God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!
Father,
Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as in Heaven!
