In the Lord’s eyes, the characteristics of the church in Laodicea were lukewarmness and spiritual pride; she considered that she is wealthy and rich and needing nothing, but in His eyes she was wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked (Rev. 3:15-17). The Lord’s word to the church in Laodicea is very enlightening and exposing, and […]
Holding Fast what we Have and Not Letting it Go so that No one take our Crown!
This week in our morning revival time we come to the church in Laodicea, the degraded recovered church, the church in which the opinion of the people replaces the Lord’s authority and the brotherly love is replaced by the vote of majority.

Not Denying the Lord’s Name but Calling on His Name to Enjoy and be Filled with Him

The Lord’s supreme and unique commandment was that we love one another even as […]
Loving the Brothers is a Strong Evidence that we Passed out of Death into Life
It is so encouraging to prayerfully study and consider the Lord’s word to the church in Philadelphia, the church of brotherly love, for in such a church we are those loving the brothers! The word Philadelphia means brotherly love, having affection for a brother, a love that is characterized by delight and pleasure (2 Pet. […]
