Only Overcomers Written in Revelation Part 4

SF, Stagecoach, NV

Dear Brothers & Sisters,

     Happily this will be the last segment how important it is to overcome and what Abba says about this to the churches [Christians].  I also hope this will help you draw closer to our Lord and Savior, Jesus.  He has such good plans for your life, now and for eternity. 

     His blood does cover a great many of our sins, but Paul also states in Romans 6:1-2  “What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin so that grace may increase?  (2) May it never be! How shall we who died to sin still live in it?”

     So lets continue…

THYATIRIA: Revelation 2:18-27

[NKJV] 18 "And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write, 'These things says the Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and His feet like fine brass:
AT-A-BOY: 9 "I know your works, love, service, faith, and your patience; and [as] for your works, the last [are] more than the first.
PROBLEM: 20 "Nevertheless I have a few things against you, because you allow that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and seduce My servants to commit sexual immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols. 21 "And I gave her time to repent of her sexual immorality, and she did not repent. 22 "Indeed I will cast her into a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of their deeds. 23a "I will kill her children with death, and all the churches shall know that I am He who searches the minds and hearts.
HOPE: 23b And I will give to each one of you according to your works. 24 "Now to you I say, and to the rest in Thyatira, as many as do not have this doctrine,
OVERCOME: 23c who have not known the depths of Satan, as they say, I will put on you no other burden. 25 "But hold fast what you have till I come.
26 "And he who overcomes, and keeps My works until the end, to him I will give power over the nations-- 27 'He shall rule them with a rod of iron; They shall be dashed to pieces like the potter's vessels'--as I also have received from My Father; and I will give him the morning star. 29 "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches."

SARDIS: Revelation 3:1-6

[NKJV] 1a "And to the angel of the church in Sardis write, 'These things says He who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars:
AT-A-BOY: "I know your works, that you have a name that you are alive,
PROBLEM: 1b but you are dead. 2 "Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die, for I have not found your works perfect before God.
HOPE: 3a "Remember therefore how you have received and heard; hold fast

OVERCOME: 3b and repent. Therefore if you will not watch, I will come upon you as a thief, and you will not know what hour I will come upon you. 4 "You have a few names even in Sardis who have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with Me in white, for they are worthy. 5 "He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels. 6 "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches."

PHILIDELPHIA:  Revelation 3:7-13

[NKJV] 7 "And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write, 'These things says He who is holy, He who is true, "He who has the key of David, He who opens and no one shuts, and shuts and no one opens":

AT-A-BOY: 8 "I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name. 9 "Indeed I will make [those] of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews and are not, but lie--indeed I will make them come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you. 10 "Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.
NO PROBLEM:
OVERCOME: 11 "Behold, I am coming quickly! Hold fast what you have, that no one may take your crown. 12 "He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall go out no more. I will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God. And [I will write on him] My new name. 13 "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches."

LAODICEA: Revelation 3:14-21

[NKJV] 14 "And to the angel of the church of the Laodicea write, 'These things says the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God:

NO AT-A-BOY:

PROBLEM: 15 "I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. 16 "So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth. 17 "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—

HOPE: 18a "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
OVERCOME: 18b anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see. 19 "As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent. 20 "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. 21 "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.

     In Revelation 4:1-2 we’re out of here. PTL! 

 RAPTURED: 1 After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven, and the first voice which I had heard, like the sound of a trumpet speaking with me, said, "Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after these things." 2 Immediately I was in the Spirit; and behold, a throne was standing in heaven, and One sitting on the throne.

     Please note, “After these things” what are these things?  Revelation chapters 2-3.  The door to Heaven will stand open and a trumpet of actually Jesus' voice calling us to come up and like John said in vs. 2, we will immediately be with Jesus seeing Heaven.  Also, we have the promise of being blessed if we read ALL the book of revelation.  I could always use an extra blessing, how about you?  But FEAR NOT, we will not be here after 4:2 as many Christians believe.  Oh, WHAT A DAY THAT WILL BE – PTL!!!!

     Keep in mind, I want to make this VERY CLEAR I DO NOT believe we should judge anyone – that’s not our job, only Abba can, yet we can see it and bless them, asking the Holy Spirit to reveal the truth to them, before Jesus comes!  Better yet, see what we may need to change in our own lives.

     I hope you enjoyed this study, I truly believe the churches (Christians) are going thru trials now, like never before, because we’re being tested to see IF WE WILL STAND with ABBA [God].  Hang in there Jesus is coming soon.

     Please email me and let me know what you thought of this study.  Adding as much scripture as I did made it rather lengthy, I know, but I do that for those who may not have a BIBLE of their own.

Blessings to all who read the Blogs
