I left many questions for us to ponder in the last blog as we are studying the letter to the Laodiceans, (and us), from Jesus Christ, (chapter 3 of the Book of Revelation).
The most important question is written above…. if we get the vision of our Lord’s ever watchful eye over us, we will live according to His word and ways. If we never get the vision of His ever knowing eyes, men’s attitudes and opinions of us will…..
We read the last letter to the churches from Jesus Christ, the letter to the Laodiceans. Jesus Christ presents Himself as the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God in verse 14 of chapter 3. It really matters the origin or root that we are from…. What do you mean, lady?….
Well, in the Book of Gospel of John, it is written 1;12-13, But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children…..
Okay, Jesus Christ has set before us an open door, and no one can shut as He spoke to the Philadelphia church in chapter 3 of Revelation……. Do you see where the door is? Is the door open in the spiritual realm or in the natural? This news also means that no one on the earth or in the heavens can shut this door. So do you see it? Where is it? What does that open door mean to us…..
We all have seen broken windows or graffiti painted on the walls of churches. We all think it is so sad the lack of respect or honor towards the Lord…..Well, He looks at His house, which is us now, the church, the same way! He does not like it if we allow the graffiti of the world to be allowed to be on and in our bodies, (the walls), in our minds,( the windows). Now I am not talking about…..
Okay….. Then Ezekiel views through the hole very hard things that the elders and leaders of the temple were committing against God in Chapter 8 of the Book of Ezekiel. They were worshiping idols that were painted on the wall….. I guess for today, it would be the internet, maybe pornography, games or movies, even business matters…. Anything that would be a abomination to the sight of our Lord that His people are allowing in their life that is deceitful…..
Did you ever notice when you view from a high place, it is almost as if you can see forever? Why is that? Why did Paul want us to see ourselves positioned above in the heavenlies with Christ? He first told us that Christ is seated there in chapter 1. Paul then proceeded to tell us that we are there also in the heavenlies seated with Christ in chapter 2.
Did your focus change when you read and then saw…..
Is not worthy of Me. He who finds his life will lose it, and who loses his life for My sake will find it, said Jesus to His disciples and us in Matthew 10:38 & 39…..
The second letter to the church of Smyrna, the Holy Spirit is letting Jesus Christ’s followers, He is in charge. There is nothing in this universe that happens that His sovereignty is not involved…. nothing.
May we grow in the knowledge that our flesh…..
Can I ask a question?
Is the salvation offered from God part of getting our ducks lined up in a row? We have a plan for our retirement, we have our funds set aside in our 401k or IRA accounts. We have our house and we can even take care of our retirement out of this world……… the salvation of God through Jesus Christ….. Is that the way God intended His Son to be, our convenient plan? Only maybe to…..
