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. Philadelphia and Laodicea are a pair: Philadelphia is the orthodoxy of the church, […]
Not Denying the Lord’s Name but Calling on His Name to Enjoy and be Filled with Him
To the church in Philadelphia, the recovered church, the Lord has given an open door which no one can shut, because they have a little power and have kept His word and have not denied His name; they are not spectacular Christians but normal believers who do the best they can with the little power […]

Having a Daily Walk and Living Unspotted by Death and Approved in Life by the Lord
Even though the church in Sardis is dead, dying, and incomplete in her works, the Lord still has some in there that have not defiled their garments; these will walk with Him in white because they are unspotted by death and are approved in life by the Lord (Rev. 3:4).
