Paying the Price to Buy Gold Refined by Fire: the Living Faith, Christ living in us

December 29, 2016 by aGodMan 12 Comments

1 Pet. 1:7 So that the proving of your faith, much more precious than of gold which perishes though it is proved by fire, may be found unto praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

Because the Lord sees Laodicea as wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked, He counsels her to buy from Him gold refined by fire; there's the need for paying the price to gain more Christ and have the living, practical faith, which is to partake … [Continue reading]

Not being Proud but being Hot for the Lord so He Won’t Spew us out of His Mouth

December 28, 2016 by aGodMan 5 Comments

1 Pet. 5:5 ...All of you gird yourselves with humility toward one another, because God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble.

The Lord's word to Laodicea is a warning to us today - if we are proud in following the Lord, considering ourselves as rich and in need of nothing, the Lord will spew us out of His mouth, for we are lukewarm in His eyes. The Lord knows our works: He … [Continue reading]

Being Saved from Lukewarmness and Spiritual Pride, the Characteristics of Laodicea

December 27, 2016 by aGodMan 14 Comments

Laodicea means to know everything but, in reality, to be fervent about nothing; in name it has everything, but it cannot sacrifice its life for anything; it remembers its former glory but forgets its present condition before God; formerly, it was Philadelphia, but today it is Laodicea. Watchman Nee

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. … [Continue reading]

Holding Fast what we Have and Not Letting it Go so that No one take our Crown!

December 26, 2016 by aGodMan 6 Comments

When brotherly love is gone, the opinion of the majority is the accepted opinion; as long as the majority is in favor, it is all right. When brotherly love is lost, the Body relationship and consciousness are lost. The fellowship of life is cut off as well, leaving only the opinions of men. 2016 fall ITERO, outline 8

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 … [Continue reading]

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

December 24, 2016 by aGodMan 11 Comments

The deviation from the word to heresies and the exaltation of so many names other than that of Christ are the most striking signs of degraded Christianity (Rev. 2:14-15, 20). The return to the pure word from all heresies and traditions and the exaltation of the Lord’s name by abandoning every other name are the most inspiring testimony in the recovered church (3:8). Witness Lee

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 … [Continue reading]

Having an Opened Door and Keeping the Lord’s Word with the Little Power we Have

December 23, 2016 by aGodMan 10 Comments

We should not regard the church in Philadelphia as being strong, powerful, and prevailing; the Lord said that she had “a little power.” What pleases the Lord is not that we are strong but that we use our little power to do the best we can. 2016 fall ITERO, outline 7

The church in Philadelphia is not made up of super-spiritual Christians who do great works for God, but rather, in the Lord's eyes they are those who have a little power and have kept His word and have not denied His name, therefore the Lord has put … [Continue reading]

Col. 1:18 And He is the Head of the Body, the church; He is the beginning, the Firstborn from the dead, that He Himself might have the first place in all things.

To the church in Philadelphia the Lord introduces Himself as the Holy One, the true One, the One who has the key of David, the One who opens and no one will shut, and shuts and no one opens (Rev. 3:4); the fact that Christ has the key of David is … [Continue reading]
