"And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write,
'These things says the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God: "I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth. Because you say, 'I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing'—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked— I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent. Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also 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
In the passage above Jesus is speaking to the church of Laodicea, the last of the 7 churches of Asia. The 7 churches of Asia that Apostle John wrote to were a type of the 7 cycles within the Piscean Church-age. The Piscean Church-age was to last a bit over 2000 years. We are now at the end of the last cycle within this prophetic period of time foreshadowed in the 7 churches of Asia.
Looking closely at the state and character of the church of Laodicea, it is undeniable that the Spirit of prophecy was speaking specifically about our time. The Believers had become lukewarm, caught up in their material wealth, spiritually blind, unloving, shameless and a miserable expression of Jesus' teachings. Even Jesus Himself, looking down through the portals of time was so disgusted with what the 21 century church had become, he became sick to the stomach. He said, "You make me want to puke".
Of course, the majority within the system can not see that something is amiss. They have been brainwashed and programmed to not be sensitive to the Holy Spirit, to not feel or think outside of what they are told to think. This programming is skillfully done through religious rhetoric, fear, manipulation, psychological triggers and reinforced by disinformation from their news media prophets. Thus, they have created semi-comatose Christians, with an IV infusion of perpetual lies and sugary watered-down sermons being dripped into their brains. Observing how many have abused and frustrated the grace of God, makes me want to puke. It has created a generation of irresponsible, flaky, carnal Believers; whose conscience are seared. Thinking they are wise, they have become intellectual powerless fools.
Christianity's schizophrenic mass personalities disorder creation of 41,000 denominations established in His name is filled with good works. "I know your works". However, the New Testament reminds us again and again that "works" alone does not save us. It is by grace that we are rescued from the carnal mind that creates the death and hell that many live in.
The Laodicean church was filled with good works, but their heart was far from God. They had no passion, no zeal for true spirituality. They thought their church works and faithfulness to a set of doctrines was what the Father wanted. This phasing Laodicean church-age has made the same mistake that ancient Israel made. The Pharisees and Sadducees were filled with good works, motivated by the ego; in error thinking that this pleased God. They too had forgotten that the Prophet Isaiah had told them their righteousness was as filthy rags. They too forgot that he also prophesied and told them, God did not want their bloody sacrifices and empty rituals; He wanted them, their heart.
Revelation 3:20 - Jesus is seen OUTSIDE the church door knocking and wants to come in with something new. Christians often use this verse to convert "sinners" to come to Jesus. Actually, it was Jesus trying to convert the Christians/church to become "disciples" and true followers of Him.
Doctrines of men, traditions, empty rituals, programs, carnality, materialism, pride and lukewarmness had taken the place of Jesus. This is the state that much of what is called Christianity today. Jesus is knocking, wanting to bring refreshing, revival, the supernatural, revelation knowledge, humility, true riches, spiritual insight and Love. They can not hear Him knocking, they are too busy with their programs and deceitful political agendas. Keep a knocking but you can't come in, is their attitude. We are too busy doing-church and not Being the church (called out ones). We can't hear the counsel of God, because we are listening to and being lullabied by the counsel of carnal men.
AWFUL SHEPHERDS
Laodicea means, justice of the people, the voice of the laity, people; power of the people.
The laity, the congregants of Christianity are not totally responsible for the miserable state they are in; especially those fairly new to the Way. Who does God hold mostly responsible? Keep in mind we are not judging unrighteously or condemning anyone, we are speaking the truth in love. He who has an ear, and not afflicted with alethophobia; let him hear what the Spirit says.
And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, "Son of man, prophesy against the prophets (religious leaders) that prophesy, and say thou unto them that prophesy out of their own hearts, Hear ye the word of the LORD; Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe unto the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing! ...You prophets are like the foxes in the deserts. You have not gone up into the gaps, neither made up the hedge ...to stand in the battle in the day of the LORD. They have seen vanity and lying divination, saying, The LORD saith: and the LORD hath not sent them: and they have made [others] to hope that they would confirm the word...They have seduced my people, saying, Peace; and [there was] no peace; and one built up a wall, and, lo, others daubed it with untempered [mortar]..." Ezekiel 13
"Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD unto the shepherds; Woe [be] to the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves! Should not the shepherds feed the flocks? Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool, ye kill them that are fed: [but] ye feed not the flock. The diseased have ye not strengthened, neither have ye healed that which was sick, neither have ye bound up [that which was] broken, neither have ye brought again that which was driven away, neither have ye sought that which was lost; but with force and with cruelty have ye ruled them. Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I [am] against the shepherds; and I will require my flock at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the flock; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; for I will deliver my flock from their mouth, that they may not be meat for them. I will feed them in a good pasture, and upon the high mountains of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie in a good fold, and [in] a fat pasture shall they feed upon the mountains of Israel." Ezekiel 34
In Part 1 of this message June 27, 2013, the Word of the Lord came prophetically showing us the soon "Hypocrisy in high places being exposed, arrest and prosecution of religious leaders." Within 24 hours the Lord began to validate His word.
Normal Rodriguez in Chula Vista, CA sent us this article below. We do not rejoice in the stumbling of our brother, Monsignor Nunzio Scarano for trying to smuggle $26 million. We mention this to only show you the word of the Lord being spoken and fulfilled within hours-that your faith may be increased. VATICAN OFFICIAL ARRESTED IN CORRUPTION PLOT June 28, 2013. ** (This is only the beginning of a series of high profile arrests and prosecutions involving both Catholic Christians & Protestant Christians).**
LAITY PROTEST
Laodicea means justice and voice of the people.
Christianity today is divided and consist of mass personalities disorder. We are only stating the present status, but there is tomorrow.. that will soon be today. The fragmented split mass 41,000 personalities will be reconciled into one, the One. Jesus came 2000 years ago and asked the then religious denominations (Pharisees, Sadducess, Herodians, etc), "Do you want to be made whole?" The Voice is echoing throughout the 41,000 personalities of this current insane version of Christianity. Do you want to be made whole and brought back to your "right" mind?!
"Eye see a divine tipping point is about to take place. It will be like a trigger has been pulled and it will seem to affect people globally. There will be a righteous uprising and rebellion against the established religious system. The hypnotic spell will be broken and many of the semi-comatose Believers shall be awakened and disconnect themselves from the watered-down IV infusions and hysteria. They will seek solid food.
Eye see coming Mass Protest of Christians demanding Change, Accountability, etc and many just dissatisfied. It will be likened unto a reformation."
"To him who overcomes..." Revelation 3:22 God has always had Overcomers that are willing to step outside the box and be persecuted for righteousness sake. In Revelation 3:20, Jesus is outside the church-age door knocking. Revelation 4, the church-age has ended. Hallelujah! The Awakened Church is no longer called a "church" based on 21st century understanding, they are a Kingdom. We must make the transition from limited, non-inclusive, man-controlled church-age mentality; to unlimited, all-inclusive, Spirit-led Kingdom consciousness. There is a difference, a big difference. It will require leaders being secure enough to not be intimidated by the Holy Spirit. It will require leaders giving up control to the Chief Shepherd and the Holy Spirit.
Revelation 3 ends with a closed, locked door. Jesus is no longer doing the familiar church things, but He's outside with an offer of spiritual solid food that will bring us into union (communion) with Him. Revelation 4 - Da'let begins with an unlocked open door and the focus is on the heavens. "Lift up your heads, oh you gates and everlasting doors and the King of glory shall come in." Psalms 24
The divided house of modern Christianity shall crash and fall... But out of the fall shall arise a generation that will seek the Lord. They will not be satisfied until they are completely AWAKEN with the fullness of His likeness. Though you have bore the image and likeness of man, you shall bear the image and likeness of God. ARE YOU AWAKE YET??!!
