The seventh and final church in the Revelation of The Lord Jesus Christ became lukewarm. In one sense, this church is tied to the first church, the one who lost its first Love. Those of you who watch Brian Williams’ videos may have noted his multiple comments about Helen, his first love. Brian mentioned her frequently on this trip and recounted the fact that he lost his first love. It was clear to me that this elder of Pentecost was conveying the message of the first church in the Fifth Gospel.
His focus on this trip centered around non-judgmental Love and that it is the pathway to Spiritual cognition in full waking consciousness. Conscious of what? True innocent perception of how FATHER works within His Divine Intent. We must set aside our past experiences and awaken the passion for walking in FATHER’S Love. We must not become lukewarm in our walk but press on toward full waking consciousness. Brian was showing us the Promised Land just as Moses could view it from a distance.
Revelation 3:
14 “And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write,
‘These things says the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God:
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.
The purpose of vomiting is to quickly and violently remove something that was in the body. The seventh church which represents the final phase of the maturing process had an issue. They lost their fervor, their lack of patience caused them to wane from the Path. They became complacent. Many were called to become the Body of Christ but few will make the cut. Some who appeared to be fully qualified are then vomited out at the end because they became lukewarm. Let us press on toward the high calling.
All of creation expresses FATHER’S Plan, Will , and Purpose yet mankind continues down its path of death and destruction, often centered around greed and entitlement. The ego would have us believe in scarcity yet you only have to look through a telescope to begin to comprehend the vastness of the universe. 80% of the earth is covered with water yet California continues its severe drought. Where is the disconnect? Surely there is a way to economically access pure water from saltwater. It is in FATHER’S knowledge and understanding but HE will not release that and other revelations so that man can package it up and greedily exploit it.
When the finish line is in sight, we must not slow down or stop. Let us keep ascending toward the full maturity IN HIM. I believe we are in a time of transition of Ages and those who press in will be called upon to minister to the rest of mankind. Let us not orient ourselves to laws and formulas causing us to be estranged from Christ as Paul wrote in Galatians Chapter 5:
1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.
2 Indeed I, Paul, say to you that if you become circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing.
3 And I testify again to every man who becomes circumcised that he is a debtor to keep the whole law.
4 You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace.
5 For we through the Spirit eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness by faith. 6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but faith working through love.
The Age of Pentecost lacked the revelation of Love to go with its revelation of faith. We must embrace those words Paul wrote without exception. If you Love enough, you can let go of those earthly possessions you could not live without. If you Love enough, you truly have no enemies. If you Love enough, you will be chosen to be empowered to be a blessing to all mankind and there will be no grounds for rejection.
