To
the angel of the Church of Laodicea 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.
(Revelation
3:14-22)
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 is neither Hot or Cold
Toward Him and His Kingdom,
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 Laodicean Church
says of themselves 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 of His Holy Spirit;
The Zeal of God for His
Kingdom and His Righteousness.
Allowing the Holy
Spirit to put His laws in their minds
And write them upon
their hearts.
Then they would become
Rich in Christ by the Power 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 Wicked World and its Ways
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, let us Hear
What the Spirit is
saying to His Church and each of us.
Today, unlike
the Church of Laodicea, we must be Hot for God,
Full of the Fire and
Passion of His Holy Spirit;
AN ALL CONSUMING ZEAL
FOR GOD and His Kingdom;
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.
Christ Jesus warned us:
Be
always on the Watch,
And pray that you
will be able to Escape All that is about to happen,
And that you may be
able TO STAND before the Son of Man.
(Luke 21:36)
Today,
the World is Raging Against God, Rushing toward Oblivion. (Psalm 2)
This
World in it's present form is passing away. (1 Corinthians 7:31)
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!
