hallelujah so i said you all pray with me and pray for me amen thank you so much revelation chapter 3 verses 14 through 22 reads and unto the angel of the church of the laodiceans right these things saith the amen the faithful and true witness the beginning of the creation of god i know thy works that thou art neither cold nor hot i would thou work cold or hot so then because thou art lukewarm and neither cold nor hot i will spew thee out of my mouth because thou says i am rich and increase with goods and have need of nothing and know us not that thou art wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked i counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire that thou mayest be rich and white raiment that thou mayest be clothed and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear and anoint thine eyes with eyes out that they may that thou mayest see and as many as i love i rebuke and chasten be zealous therefore and repent behold i stand at the door and and knock if any man hear my voice and open the door i will come into him and will suck with him and he with me to him that overcometh will i grant to sit with me in my throne even as i also overcame and am set down with my father in his throne last verse he that hath it let him hear what the spirit saith unto the churches may have your cease in the presence of the lord i want to talk from the topic a dangerous misconception a dangerous misconception revelation or the apocalypse is the last book of our bible it is written by john who also gives us a gospel and three epistles as well this book is addressed to the seven churches of asia minor and before john gets into telling us about the time of the end god gives john specific messages for these seven churches specifically for the angel or the pastor of these churches ephesus had abandoned their love for christ they were the careless church smyrna was faithful in persecution they were the crown church pergamos compromised their beliefs they were the compromising church thyatira followed the false prophet they were the corrupted church sardis was spiritually dead they were the feeble church philadelphia was patient and endurance they had they were the faithful church but now we see the church of laodicea they were the foolish church uh they're named after the syrian king solutions his wife laotis uh laodicea means justice of the people or people ruling they were uh they were a culture that was centered around and focused heavily on human rights they viewed themselves as fair decent and good people and many people would suggest that we are living in a laodicean age time and church culture this church was prosperous and the sin that they had was called human rights uh this church represents the unbelieving and materialistic church of all ages uh we like the laodicean church we see that a lot of times our services and what we call worship to god is nothing more than entertainment or a cover-up for how we are really living in our day-to-day lives churchy they the laodicean church was churchy but not christ-like they were more invested in their flesh than they were their faith god wanted them to be hotter cold but because they would look warm god says he will spit them out he says you literally make me vomit they had misjudged their status they had misjudged their resources and they had mishandled their prosperity they had become proud of their church and their accomplishments and began to measure themselves by man's standards instead of god's standards and so much that the message bible says i know you inside and out god tells this church i know you inside and out and i find little to my liking he calls them stale he calls them stagnant and he calls them superficial so much that he says i see what you're doing down there on earth and it makes me literally want to vomit it makes me sick it makes my stomach twist and turn uh he says you're like the water that you receive because you gotta understand that uh the church of laodicea didn't have their own water source water was delivered via aqueducts and had to travel five miles from either direction water traveling from the hot mineral springs would become lukewarm and bitter by the time it arrived to laodicea and water that was cold and refreshing would become lukewarm as well by the time it got to them too because we got to understand that cold water and hot water because people in the church they they mishandle this test because they say quarter hop means got to be on fire for god no this text is talking about water cold water and hot water both have benefits amen cold water is refreshing and invigorating but hot water is healing and therapeutic he says he says the way you are now is it makes me sick because you are mixed you're tapping into other sources and now because you tapped into some things you shouldn't have tapped into you have not become unproductive and useless uh a bit of water to me sounds a lot like matthew 5-13 where he says ye are the salt of the earth but if the salt has lost his savior wherewith shall it be salted he says it is thenceforth good for nothing but to be cast out and to be tried and under the foot of man could it be that the church today is ineffective because we've allowed our prosperity to make us lose our effectiveness we trusted our money and our resources and our positions and our works more than god we trusted our own wisdom and our own judgment over the judgment and the wisdom of god we still profess him we still preach him we still sing about him but everything we're doing in the church on sunday morning makes god sick because god doesn't really get the glory out of our lives because our service to him stops as soon as we say in man and walk out that door god says the laodicean church has a dangerous misconception and in order to break away from the misconception there are three great contrasts of how god sees them and how they see themselves they were so focused on the natural but god was showing them that they needed a spiritual change first thing they got to change brothers and sisters is their value verse 17 god speaks to them let's know uh he says i know your heart and he says in your heart you're saying you're rich and you're increased with goods but god says to them you think you're rich but you're really poor they allowed their economic prosperity to make them spiritually bankrupt they were more focused on having material wealth than true spiritual treasure uh they were focused on exterior possessions that could not bring about an interior change uh god god says in order to really get some wealth in order to really get some value he says what you need to do is buy of me some gold god why do they have to buy gold to get real spiritual value because gold represents relationship he says buy me gold that has been tried in the fire this gold brothers and sisters is gold that has been put through the test and has been purified says he says the only way you're going to sustain is the only way you're going to get true spiritual wealth the only way you're going to stop yourselves from being poor is if you get a relationship with me that has been tried and purified through some fire pro tried and purified through some testing tried and purified through some suffering tried and purified by some struggle god says if you want to get real spiritual wealth you ought to have a relationship with me that can handle going through some things you can't tell me you got a real relationship with god and you can't handle no testing you can't tell me that you have a real relationship with god and you turn to the bottle before you turn to him you turn to we before you turn to him you turn to sex before you turn to him you turn to the ah yes god you can't tell me you have a real relationship with god whenever time you go through you turn to something else and turn away from god god says you need a real relationship with me that's been tried in the fire and the reason you keep going through the same thing the reason you keep having the same battle the reason you keep dealing with the same struggle is because god is saying you keep turning away from me when you should be turning to me you need a relationship like gold that's been tried in the fire because what does fire do to go fire removes the mixtures and it removes the impurities you get in your test and you get in your struggle and you become dirty when you become mixed up in more things but god says i sent the test and i sent the struggle and i sent the suffering so i could purify you and pull some things out of you there are some things that god wants to change there are some things that god wants us to break out of there are some things that god wants us to break free from so god sends a struggle god sends suffering so we can truly test our faith how do i know it come on job job was a righteous man the bible says he was a perfect man but god sent suffering to test his faith because it's your faith in me because i've been good to you is your faith in me because you're in good health is your faith in me because you've got prosperity it's your faith in me because you got stuff it's your faith in me because of your material possesses original faith in me because you love me in spite of what you're going through he says get a relationship that can be tried and that's a problem in the church today that's a problem in the world today can't nobody handle being tried in a relationship as soon as a test comes we run away god is saying i'm sending some fire into your life so i can remove the impurities i'm sending the fire into your life to make you stronger i'm sending the fire into your life to make you better because not only does it purify but what happens when gold is purified its value is increased god is sending the fire to increase your spiritual value to increase your spiritual capacity to increase your spiritual way so let the fire burn but let the impurities be removed let the fire burn but increase your value let the fire burn but get your wealth let the fire burn but get your wisdom god says learn the lesson right this time so when you go through the fire it makes you better and not bitter [Music] you need a relationship with me that can handle the fire because the fire makes us more like our god the fire some things and i hate to say it like this because job says a man's days are showing that filled with trouble but there are some things we can only learn about god there are some things we can only learn about ourselves if we go through god says you got to use your suffering in the correct way he says you need a relationship buy of me he says get it from me god is the source of this goal he says buy it of me a gold gold that is that has been tried in the fight get a real relationship with me that can handle some testing get a real relationship with me that allows you to be purified get a real relationship with me that allows you to be delivered get a real relationship with me that allows you to be healed because god doesn't want us to have a surface level relationship because watch this what happens when fire hits gold is the impurities come to the surface when gold is put in the fire the impurities come to the surface that's why when you go through you want to turn to that thing you want to turn to that man you want to turn in that battle because your impurities are coming to the surface but god says you don't need to turn two of your impurities you need to let me scrape the impurities away so i can make you better that's what god wants to do today he wants to wash some things the way he wants to wipe the slate clean he wants to purify you he wants to scrape the dirt off the top so he can get to the real value the real gold the real maturity the real anointing the real glory that he has for your life try me and get a real relationship that can handle some testing he says to them i don't want you to have any more mixtures and i don't want you to have any more impurities let god appear hallelujah let god purify you that's what a yes does when you hide hallelujah you gotta let god purify you because you're coming to church week after week with dirty hands you're coming to church week out the week with dirty feet you're coming to church we got the week with dirty lips you're coming to church we got the week with a dirty heart but god says if you get in the fire and let me scrape those things away he'll purify you he'll cleanse you he'll won't he make you clean inside [Applause] god is trying to purify us and we keep trying to get ourselves dirty you can't have dirty hands and truly serve a clean god get in the fire and let him wipe those things away i won't be alone god says hi yes god god says you got to get your value back because the problem is some of us have had our value but we lost it some of us really never had any value at all speaking in tongues no value rolling all over the floor no value pulling back and grabbing our ear but no value sinking and doing runs but no value we got nice footwork but coming to church week after week getting church famous but no value you got a position of leadership in the church but you really don't have any god is saying i don't want you to just show and tell i don't want you to be gold-plated i want you to have some real value [Music] god there are different levels to go the carrots represent how much heat the gold could handle the carrots on the go represent how much fire the gold has been through and god says some of you have no value so you have some value and he has to put you back in the fire so he can get some more value out of you he says you need to change your value next thing we see brothers and sisters in the text he says got to change your virtue laodicea was a city that was they were famous for three things they were famous for their wealth they were famous for their uh their black wool and they were famous for their medicinal advancements says he says that they got to change their virtue they were famous for their black wool they were a fashionable city they were a high-end city they were a trendy city they were a church that dressed to impress god however was not concerned with their fancy clothes i know it wasn't because he tells him in spite of the fine wools you are known for he says you need to buy me a white raymond he says again buy of me that's a you're going to deal with that phrase later buy of me a white arraignment not only does god tell them what to buy but he tells them why to buy it says you need my white raymond because you think you got it going on you think you're suited to boot it you think you're clean but he says you're naked and you better be careful before the the shame of your nakedness appears uh but god is saying when he calls them naked he's not saying that they are fully naked as in they don't have any clothes at all uh the word naked here means to be half-naked to be destitute it implies poverty he says they're not just naked though he says you're shamefully naked huh god what do you mean that's shamefully naked he he says although you're not fully covered what he's saying is the wrong parts are covered and the wrong parts are exposed the wrong parts are covered and the wrong parts are exposed it literally means that your parts of shame your private areas are hanging out it means you are uncovered he says laodicea you've got some indecent exposure going on he says layer this here you're experiencing a wardrobe malfunction your your private areas are out and it's about to cause you some shame and the problem in the church today is we have people that are serving god but their private things are exposed you're preaching but you are exposed you're singing but you are exposed you're jumping around the stage but you are exposed you're playing only instruments but you are supposed to shouting but you are exposed you come to church every sunday but you got some private things that are exposed that should not be hanging out pull it back in they were so puffed up with pride and they were content with having church without change and they could not see that their sin was exposed iniquity was exposed their wickedness was exposed and the ungodly lifestyle was exposed yeah you got us full but god says really in the spirit you're exposed [Music] the lick is still on your breath when you come up to preach your eyes are low and red when you get on the organ [Music] you are exposed you are exposed you still smell like last night you are exposed god says you are exposed the wrong things are showing you got lifted hands but your private areas are hanging out your private sin will bring you public shame if you don't handle your exposure in the spirit he says you've worn out the garments of sin and it's time to put on something else later to see it so he offers them a white raiment why does he offer them a white raiment in exchange for the black world they're famous for white represents purity and righteousness god says the only way you're going to be covered up is if you put on my righteousness because man discovers shame but only god can cover your shame somebody misses so i'll say it again man discovers your shame but only god can cover your shame he says i need y'all to move to the next step of this process i need you to move from salvation to sanctification because salvation is christ righteousness imputed to us but sanctification is christ's righteousness imparted to us you missed it i'ma say it again salvation is christ's righteousness imputed to us but sanctification is christ's righteousness imparted unto us in other words what he's saying is salvation is what god has done for you but sanctification is you putting on christ and acting the way he would act doing what he would do he says yes i'll cover you but he says i need you to live holy if i'm going to cover you because guess what happens when you put dirt on white the dirt shows he is covering you in a white raven but you're still dirty unless you get sanctified god says you need to go from imputed righteousness to imparted righteousness you need to learn how to be holy you need to learn how to be righteous and i thank god that he covers us in the midst of our shame he covers us in the midst of our nakedness he covers us in the midst of our going through he covers us in the midst of our flaws he covers us in the midst of our thoughts but god says ah you can't be satisfied with me covering you he says now you've got to be satisfied but leaving a clean life while i cover you it is always christ that is seen but behind the scenes you can't have the other side be dirty he says move from salvation to sanctification put on the white raiment because your old garments that you take off the garment take off the spirit of heaviness and put on the garment of praise he says put on christ put on my righteousness and now now that you put it on you need to wear it you need to operate in it and you need to live and you need to change your virtue god covering you ain't taking his grace for granted because you don't want to leave nothing god covering you and you think it's okay because you haven't been exposed yet god is covering you and he says you need to be careful because yes i'm covering you but eventually the shame of your nakedness can be exposed buy me a white raiment so that my righteousness can become your righteousness last thing and i'm out of your way your value your virtue and your vision i told you that they were also known for their medical advancements they were specifically known for in isaf he says the people that have made the eyes out that is way beyond what medicine at their time could do it even could heal cataracts even that even that far back he says the people that have made the i sound need to put on in isaf because they're not seeing correctly need their eyes out to bring healing to their eyes says he needs you to see things clearly and correctly if you're going to be productive for him he says that they are not blind but they are too short-sighted he says you are too short-sighted you don't see far enough ahead you're so focused on what's right in front of you that you miss what god is trying to do further ahead that's why they got caught up in their superficial things that's why they got caught up in their clothes that's why they got caught up in their money that's why they got caught up in their titles because they could only see but so far but god says you need a sob on your eyes so that you can get out of this blurry vision so you can get out of this way of seeing things that makes you carnal and see things in a spiritual way see things in a godly way see things the way god wants you to see them god says i need to bring healing to your eyes because when you see better you'll live better when you see better you'll think better when you see better you'll move better when you see better you'll worship better when you see better your praise better when you speak you'll get better when you see better you'll serve better when you see better you'll love better when you see better you'll forget better god says put a salve on your eyes and get some healing because i need you to see correctly for where i'm trying to take you many of us we have not got the healing in our vision so we make moves based on temporary circumstances we make our moves based on temporary emotions we make moves based on temporary problems but god says i need you to see further hey yes god i need you to see beyond where you are right now hey i need you to see yourself beyond what you're going through i need you to see beyond what people are saying right now i need you to see beyond your financial situation i need you to see beyond your current relationship i need you to see beyond your current job i need you to see beyond where you are and see where i'm trying to take you it says your value your virtue and your vision but really he says they're lukewarm because they know how to code so this deals with their vigor what does lukewarm have to do with spiritual wealth what does lukewarm water have to do with spiritual wealth he says it shows uh he shows naturally how they look spiritually they were tapping into other things and relying on other things that made them sick the wells that they drew from by the time it got to them they would lukewarm and they would seek themselves they could understand the message god was sending them relying on their wealth made god sick then relying on their own judgment made god sick ah we got to break this gospel of self-reliance yeah i can do it by myself i can do it on my own i can do it my way no you can't you got to do it god's way or you won't work relying on their own ability was just as useless as relying on this lukewarm water they had resources they had aqueducts they had medical advancements they had prosperity but they were still thirsty and unsatisfied god is showing them a valuable lesson brothers and sisters that the water supply is how they look spiritually the hot water came from hieropolis but it wasn't enough the cold water came from collapse but it was not enough because by the time it got to them it was stale and everybody knows that when you drink something you want it to be hot or cold anything that has room temperature or tepid is normally flat stale and nasty this is why you don't see the drinks in the cooler for the water you set drinks in a cooler full of ice this is why when you order coffee they come back continually with fresh coffee because nobody wants to drink room temperature stale oh coffee or one definition of tepid or lukewarm is to be half-hearted god says your half-hearted christianity is no use to me your half-hearted worship you might as well save it you're half-heartedly giving you might as well say but you're half hearted praising you might as well say but you're half-hearted servant it's useless it's not valuable it does nothing for me giving me the scraps of what you have does not please our god uh the word lukewarm means it it it shows that it is marked by an absence of enthusiasm or conviction he says when you're in this lukewarm place when you tap into other sources when you've lost your usefulness to god he says you're beginning to lose your conviction the second law of thermodynamics brothers and sisters tells us that a closed system eventually moderates so that no energy is produced a closed system moderates so that no energy is produced unless something is added from the outside the system will decay and die without added fuel hot water in the boiler will become cool without electricity the refrigerant in the freezer will become warm the church was so self-indulgent and self-reliant that they had become a closed system because they looked good on the outside but had i noticed that they were decaying and dying spiritually the natural success was nothing more than a cover-up of a rotting corpse this church was dying god is telling them and telling us that we cannot allow the church to become a closed system what does the church need in order to function properly we need jesus we can't operate without christ we cannot survive without christ we cannot thrive without christ and we cannot be sustained without christ and so much that jesus says in john 15 and 5 without me you can do nothing paul says in acts 17 to 28 that it's in him that we live in him that we're moving in him that we have our being he says what you really need for me to change your virtue your value and your vision is you need to connect to the right source because uh the money was good but that could not sustain them the the the clothes were good but that could not sustain them even the medical practices that they had were good but they could not sustain the real and the main issue they had was that their water source was not correct the source of life was not correct the source that was keeping them moving keeping them breathing keeping them sustained was not correct so god says yeah you need to change those other things and the only way you're going to change it if you connect to the right source because brothers and sisters what does water represent water represents the holy spirit water represents the holy spirit and so much that jesus says in john 4 and 14 talking to the woman after the will he says if you drink from this well if you drink of this water you'll never thirst again revelation 21 21-6 says i will give unto him that a thirst of the fountain of the water of life freely jesus says in john 6 35 i am the bread of life he that cometh to me shall never hunger and he that believeth on me shall never thirst john 7 38 says if you believe on me out of your belly shall flow rivers of living water what god is telling us is today you need to connect to the right souls because when you're connected to god you will survive you will thrive you will be maintained you will be sustained and you will excel connect to god and let the water of the holy spirit wash you connect to god let the water of the holy spirit change you i need somebody in here that made up in their mind that no matter what comes my way i'm going to stay connected to the right source i'm going to stay connected to god i'm going to stay connected to his word i'm going to stay connected to his plan i'm going to stay connected to his mandate for my life says you need to connect to the right source when you connect to the right source i'll change your value i'll change your virtue and i'll change your vision and i stop by to encourage somebody in new zion temple that it's time to drink from the water again when you drink from the water of jesus he'll give you everything that you need when you drink of his water there's salvation there when you drink of his water there's a healing there when you drink of this water there's deliverance there when you drink from the well of living water everything that was dead has to come back alive and i need somebody in the church this morning that can help me praise god because when i fought i could not make it when i thought i was about to die when i fought i was not going to make it i drank from his will and got everything that i need when i drink from the water of jesus he will give me an increased value when i drink of the water of jesus he will make me holy he'll sanctify me he'll purify me and he'll wash me in his blood when i drink from the water of jesus he'll give me the vision i need to see beyond what i'm going through to see beyond my circumstances to see beyond my problem and i'm so glad today that i'm connected to the right source i hear the song say my hope is built on nothing less than jesus blood and his righteousness i dare not trust the sweetest friend but holy lean yes sir on jesus name on christ the solid rock i stained all of the ground is seeking shame i stopped by to tell somebody that jesus is the only real source jesus is the only sustainer jesus is the only comforter i hear the bible shape trust in horses trust in chariots but we will remember the name of the lord is a strong tower the righteous run in and they are saved david said i'm going to lift up mine eyes to the hills what's coming my helper my help comes from the lord i'm looking unto jesus he's the author and the finisher of my faith i'm looking unto jesus he is anonymous i'm looking unto jesus he is a problem solver i'm looking unto jesus he is a miracle worker i'm looking unto jesus but he is the source of my creation i hear paul say that it's in him that we live in him that we move in him that we have our being everything that i need can be found in jesus if you need joy guess where it is if you need peace it's in jesus if you need to be healed it's in jesus if you need to be saved it's in jesus how do i know it because on friday they hung him high stretched him wide bowed his head in the locks of his shoulder shot died till the earth rocked and rambled like a drunken man he died to the veil of the temple was ripped and twain he died to the centurion saying surely this is the son of god staying in the grave all night friday straight in the grave all day saturday but i feel real baptist now if i was in the baptist church the old preacher would say sunday morning he got up with all power in his hands and that power is what keeps me that power is what sustains me that power is what comforts me that power is what pushes me if you're looking for me you won't find me nowhere else but in god i'm in christ and he's in me yes sir because watch this when you drink from that whale not only does christ get in you what you get in christ that's what he can say out of your belly shall flow rivers of living water because what's in you it's going to come out that's what it's saying church when you're in me i'm gonna come out of you let christ change your value let christ change the virtue let christ change your vision let christ renew your thinking and god will anoint you god will equip you god will empower you to do the work he's called you to do look to jesus don't turn nowhere else don't turn to the left don't turn to the right but be like david and lift your ass to the hills from what's coming your help all my help all my help hey hey all my help comes from the lord i'm drawing from the well that will never run dry i'm drinking from the water where i'll never thirst again i'm pulling from the only source that there is and i need somebody in new zealand temple that believes the name of jesus still has power to open your mouth and give them praise that's the name that's changed that's the name that brings healing that's the name that brings deliverance when we call the name of jesus it means everything we need has to come where we are at that name every knee must bow add that name every tongue must confess had that name demon shrimp had that name yolks are destroyed tell me whose side you're on i'm on the lord's side i'm not leaning on my own wisdom i'm not leaning on my own judgment i'm not leaning to my own understanding but i hear proverbs tell me trust in the lord with all your heart lean not to your own understanding in all your ways acknowledge him and he will he will direct your path open your mouth and give god praise open your mouth and lift up the name of jesus jesus jesus jesus jesus lily of the valley jesus brought in
