Thank you, Lord, Jesus. Hallelujah. Thank you. I will be coming from revelation. 3 1 through 6, Revelation, 3 1 through 6.
And it reads, as this. An aunt to the angel of the church in sawdust. Write these things said he that had at the seventh star, the spirit of God. And the Seven Star. I know that works that don't has a name that do liver and art dead.
Let me put the glasses on the light. I can see. Okay. The second, the second verse, I am at right now Be watchful and strengthen the things which we made that are the ready to die, but I am not found that were perfect before God. Remember, therefore, I'll do as receive and heard and hold fast and repent. If their 4-0 not watch, I will come on the as a feed and thou shalt not know what our I will. I will come up on the Dell has a few name even inside us with Which have not defiled their garments and they should walk with me, in, in what in white for, they are worthy. he that overcometh the same shall be clothed in white raiment, and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess is named before my father, and before is Angel, Sixth and final, he that had any hears. Let him hear what the spirit said on to the church say, Amen. Praise God. If I should use for a topic today. It's the church as Flatline. Let us pray Heavenly Father. We thank him. We praise you. God for this time and for this moment God, we thank you Father, God for your mercies and for your tender loving kindness, father God, in the name of Jesus, I ask you to let it be decreasing. You increase God In The Name of Jesus crucified flesh and himself to die, but a guy have your Divine Way bless each. And everyone of us got here that we will hear God In The Name of Jesus, we give you thanks we give you praise in Jesus name. So as I said, my topic is the church as Flatline in the Book of Revelation. The church is in sawdust was described as being spiritually dead. Even though it appears to be alive and had a good reputation. So does not only represent those escaping. Which remain after the great apostasy and a terrible cross, the persecution of the middle age, but some of it is believed that the word Stardust means Remnant or an escape you. And therefore represent the products can ISM Martin Luther 95 Theses. Primarily argue against the Catholic church practice of selling indulgent and indulgences when you buy you. No pay for prayer for your loved one dead or alive and you know Preen them out topography into heaven. do up a spelling, indulgent payment that salvation could only be Achieve through faith in God alone, not by purchasing Indulgence to Absolute pain and that the Bible is the ultimate source of righteous Authority. Not the pope or church. Aerosmith essentially spark in the Protestant, reformed Reformation Reformation mean, expecting a part in straight. So these things were going on and Martin Luther was very upset about this indulgent and everything. So he wanted the people to have the Bible, something straight, when he nailed his 95 Theses on the door of the willenberg, cathedral Pier 46 parking, the separation of protestant and Roman. When does Scripture brought into common use readers of the New Testament, saw that no forgiveness without repentance And and, and this is why we receive taking place. Now, there is no repentance. People are just saying we're at we're, saving you serving God and where you're living for God. But there is no repentance. They have to be repentance of sin because we are all sinners. So there have to be repentant that have to be upon a time when we come when your story offending God, when we're sorry took a sin against God. Some of us have this Birthright membership, my daddy and my mommy are Christian. So I'm okay. My daddy and my mommy or pastors, your Pastors in my family. So I'm okay.
But alone, they must there anything so long that we must do for our self. We must believe have our own belief. and we must, Die by yourself. 2nd Chronicles, 25, and for sale, but the slave not their children. But then as it is written in the law, in the book of Moses there, the Lord commanded seen. The father should not die for the children. Need a shoulder, the children die for the father, but every man shall die for his own. Since some of us think we can enter Heaven because of good work. Luther stresses the importance of individual faith and a direct relationship with God. We thank God for Grace. For salvation can only be attained through God, grace alone, received by faith, not by works. We often hear people say they would like to see more old time conversion. Well, they have to be whole time, preaching. Not this water, don't gospel without the authority of the spirit. Maybe if we act like preachers more than promotional speakers, we can no longer preach this Prosperity Gospel. Why people are dying in their sin and on their way to hell. We have to get it together at the church and we are the church. Sawdust Mina Redmond or those who have escaped the church and the church in Saw dust was described as being spiritually dead, even though it appeared to be alive and had a good reputation. so, the church at Flatline, We have seen the seventh star of God. Referred to the Sevenfold nature of the Holy Spirit. Isaiah 11 to let us know. And and the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him and the spirit of wisdom and understanding the spirit of counsel and night, the spirit of knowledge, and a clear of the Lord. The Seven Stars are the seven angels of the seven churches. We see the destiny of the church is in God's hand, Jesus and do the work of the church has told us is not like Tyra, Tyra, and inherit her, the last World were greater than the first. But inside us, there was a problem. There were 40 Kristen. Jesus said Carter's there. I don't know if I'm pronouncing that right but had a reputation of being alive, but it was actually that old racing appears well, two men but there was only a form of godliness know the power. I meant to live by, not a principle of life. There was great business in their souls and in their service somewhere Hypocrites. Others were in a disorder and lifeless state has become a church in name only and potential church. One that was just going through the motions. Isaiah 29 + 13 said as this people draw near near me with their mouth and with their with their lips, you honor me. But have removed their heart is far from me. And their fear towards me is Todd by the precept of men. Detergents, are that make moral compromises with the world and didn't publicly acknowledge Jesus out of fear of men? and we see that going all the lot, we fear, man, rather than fearing, God They become slave to church and nuts, are not servants to God. They have for profession Jesus that I know that work. Sadly, the Lord commanded, only some Escape, the Fate the measure of its privilege. And profession was the measure of its responsibility. It was full of empty profession, and it was dead against the union of church and state brought about more profession than life. Is equal to 32 and 31 Cent and they come on today at people coming and they sit before thee as thy people. And they, they're hard, they work, but they will not do them for with their mouths. They show much love, but the heart after impeachment me. Lord Lord shall enter into the kingdom of heaven, but he's not doing the will of My Father, which is in heaven. Titus 1:16 said they profess that. They know God but in work, they did not him being a Bominable and disobedient and a good word reprobate, it. When a tortie comes responsibility and accountability, I've minister of God, we will answer to him for our decision and action. It got advanced advanced the evil that citizen committed. How much more willing Advan the evil that goes in at already committed, do that homework for him. Because sometime we think that the church belong to men and it does not the church belong to God. The church is God is God, business is business. He do what he wants to do with his church. So we see they would get. Instant, God alone has the power to raise the dead and bring dry bones to life. Proverbs 21:16 said the man that that wondering out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the Dead. Inside The Fortunes of wick for. He said, awake do that sleepest and arise from the dead in Christ shall give thee light.
Proverbs 20 say Be watchful and strengthen the things which remain that are ready to die for. I have not found that guy work. Perfect before God. So the church has Flat Line. It is time for a spiritual overall.
The one thing that I love about God when it comes to his business is that he won? It gives warning after warning after warning. But there comes a point when you have to do something about it because of what his words that Corrector.
Jesus told the church, wake up. And stay awake. He told him that there were certain aspect of their faith and practice that were still alive, but they needed to be more serious about their worship study and Ministry. He was calling on them to renew their relationship with God. The step that they had already taken was good, but they have not yet, reach got standard. It is not enough for a church before, right? Are to go through ritual, our form of worship for the church to have a valid relationship with God. It month back up its Doctrine and word with devotion and work. We cannot just say we're coming to church and we have been coming for years and still can't find anything in the church to do. Now, there's something wrong with that and I'm quite sure. God is not pleased. When John receive revelation of Jesus Christ, it was not for his own personal knowledge, he was told to write it down, but others, what our relationship to Christ is personal God never intended to be private. When we receive Revelation from God, we have to put that Revelation into practice. If it doesn't, it will die out first, Peter 5. And I said, be sober. Be diligent because your adversary the devil as a roaring lion walketh about seeking whom he may devour
The problem with the Enemy. He wants to go and play the church. Yes, and sometimes we allow him to because we let the word into the church. And that's what he wants to do sometime. We cannot even see the separation. You know, because we are so wrapped up in the things of the world.
Revelation 3, Jesus said to them. Remember, therefore how how do I as received and heard and hold? And with pens, if there is, therefore Thou shalt not watch. I will come on the as a feed and thou shalt not know what, what hour I will on TV.
I would come on to be is President reference, not to the second coming but to a spiritual coming in blessing or in judgment. Because we think that it's when we go to heaven that we going to be judge but that's there is judgment on this Earth. There is Judgment especially when we are messing with God's business.
Jesus wanted is for Oliver to recall there, better days to reflect and what they had received and heard they had received forgiveness of their sins salvation, eternal life, and future, in promised rewards in heaven. They had heard the preaching of the Gospel, the true word of God, when it's clear and correct each it. Because let me tell you, there's some teaching that's not so correct. Genius wanted them to recognize that they had back and I needed to return to prestige. It confessing personal still will bring the response of God cleansing. It's the show that hunt on two separate occasions. When enemy Army at surrounded Florida Earth careless guards fell asleep. Each time the opposing Army slip in and capture the city. Jesus seem to be using this example, to teach his church, a great truth. If we don't return to Worship in to relation to God, believing and Trust in the way we want them, we would not Not recognized the prophetic sign of his coming, the Rapture, the Rapture will come with us asleep, causing us to missed it. Don't let Jesus come suddenly and find us. Not ready. If it's too late in the day for us, not to be ready. Matthew 13 and 11 states answer instead on to them because it is given unto you to know the mystery of the kingdom of heaven. But to that it is not given to Jesus continue to say to them in in in Revelation 3:4 and 5, don't have a few name. Even in Stardust, we shall not defile their garment and they should walk with me in white for a day, or worthy. Always always got have a ram in the bush. He that overcometh the same shall be clothed in white Redman, and I will not block out his name out of the book of life. But I will confess his name before my father and before is Angel The majority of the church in Florida at foiled their garment we speak of spiritual defilement from the sin of the world. Jesus know. All his people in his church by name. Not many people inside us, were faithful, but he could identify. The ones were Ethan they were, they were the ones who refused to defy their governments. The ones who refuse to be dirty or influenced by the setting of those around them. He promised that they would walk with him in Roll of white. Why? Because they had sincerely accepted Jesus as their Savior and by the power of the Holy Spirit, live a holy life. Jesus Promised. Never to black out their name, out of The Book of Life. That kind of make me thinking so so we see it is possible that are named can be blocked out but if possible, if he stays out of the book of life, so it's possible that the name, her name could be blocked out of the book of life for Fort Benning, against God, for denying Jesus, for for taking away from the word in Revelation. Jesus also promised that knowledge, the name of the of the saved before. God, the Father And His Holy Angel. Wouldn't you like to hear your name calling Evan? I would I would Hallelujah, thank you. Jesus It would be great to hear your name called out and Evan. Matthew 10, 32 and 33 seconds are forced to confess me before men. Here would I confess also before my Father? Which is in heaven, but every shall deny me before men, Mi also denied before, before my Father, which is in heaven.
The Bible is not just Jesus, Jesus, the disciple, all them in the Bible, just not talkin to be talkin. You don't do these words are words of true. His words are word of God. We have to live by them. We have to remember that he did not give us any other instructions in his word. You know, and I don't know who come up with it, but biblical instructions before leaving Earth. So we have to live by it. Just the way, it is sure this way is sure. The foundation of Christ is very sure. It's our whole 2nd Timothy to say nevertheless the foundation of God. Standeth. Sure. Having this seals, the Lord knows that RS and let everyone that name the name of Christ depart from any quitting.
There is eternal security of True Believer. We are secure regardless of what's going on around us. We are secure So in Revelation, 3 and 60 said to them, he had a New Year's. Let him hear what the spirit stay on to the church. It is not an exit, the Jesus kept talking about hearing. We cannot begin to understand how important it is. It is the the Bible that teaches us to remember repent and to be righteous to live our life with glorification. Justification and sanctification, we must overcome holdfast and live a holy life. The great truth that that's part of the Reformation started with people hearing what the Lord has to say. From the Bible, they learn about the total depravity of man justification by faith and the authority of the Bible. When we, we hear the word we receive life, we receive light. We received truth, we learned God's commandment judgment and promise we get to know his mind and will and we find Comfort, peace and strength. He who hasn't here letting here. Aaron is of the most important.
For some of us like the Church of Sardis. We are so dead. Rick and Morty has said it. We become cross cross, like cross that refused to rest in peace. Jesus said, strengthen the things which remain if you are in a flatline State at the Holy Spirit to reset the date in want to revive to raise up, To revitalize to bring back to life.
It is time for a good old-fashioned Revival, but I'm talkin about true Revival. But Revival does not come by merely hearing one must also put into practice. The thing one has heard and shoes to obey. God word. Revivals a cold out fast out. no church or individual individual believer can ever hold experience, genuine Revival without genuine genuine,
Repentance. We have to repent for Revival to start.
The way to Revival is simple. It's all the Sleeping. Would just wake up. And all the newborn folks would just fire up and honest, folks will confess up and all the disgruntled folk will just sweeten up and all the discouraged. Pope will just tear up all the depressed. Folks would look up. An old extremes folks with makeup. And all the gossiper was shut up and all the dry bones will shake up. And all the true soldier with panda and all the church member with us to Revival. Hallelujah. God bless you.
Amen. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
Thank you. Thank you. I love you.
