Light over darkness.

All of us have become like one who is unclean,and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; Isaiah 64:6 (NIV)

one race all have sinned, no matter what color we are or where we come from is all distraction to all mankind we need Christ in order to stop the madness of greed, power, and mass murder, abuse the dark occult and it;s distorted ideas, get free , do not have to do perverted things to live  a life that means something.

The Lord tells them to “remember how you have received and heard; hold fast and repent.” Sardis is close to Laodicea in that they have received and heard the truth and have a name that says they are alive, but they are dead. Above all, they need to rekindle that living relationship with the Lord that they had when they first got saved. I experienced this and I know that many of you have also. The difference between death and life is the difference between “head knowledge” and “heart knowledge and relationship”. 

notice what I said about epignosis and gnosis they are nothe same often confused in shallow understanding of relational  presence- verses starring in the sky and pretending to know. He touches on the two word, differncess in a living way...


 We study about the cross but don’t experience it. We study about dying to self, but it doesn’t happen. We study about sanctification and think we are, but we aren’t.  Somebody missing???

The world intrudes on our lives and defiles us as we get caught up in day to day humdrum survival. Going to church is just one of the motions we go through. We have a name, a reputation that we are alive, but we are dead inside. I need to experience Jesus myself, “body life” and a loving community, that;s what narrowway is all about. the congrationare people not buildingsand unholy unions with  it;s forms or  the compromise.

For those who think God is all love, let’s review what He does with the five churches he isn’t too happy with:

1. Ephesus – “Repent or He takes away their lampstand.” (Rev. 2:5)

2. Pergamos – “Repent or He will come and fight against them with the sword of my mouth.” (Rev. 2:16)

3. Thyatira – “Repent … or I will cast you into tribulation and kill your children” (Rev. 2:22-23)

4. Sardis – “Repent or I will come upon you as a thief…” (Rev. 3:3)

5. Laodicea – “Repent or I will vomit you out of my mouth.” (Rev 3:16)  lot of that going on isn;t it? loads of it, luke warm no depth compromised.

 

¹⁴For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, ¹⁵from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, ¹⁶that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, ¹⁷that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, ¹⁸may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height-- ¹⁹to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

²⁰Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, ²¹to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever.” (Eph. 2:14-20

 

Satan is the one who hates and destroys. God is the one who loves and nurtures His people. JESUS SAVES.
