7 things JESUS asks of us

 

The LORD JESUS said:

Revelation 3:20

King James Version

20 Behold, 

I stand at the door, and knock: 

if any man hear my voice, 

and open the door, 

I will come in to him, 

and will sup with him,

 and he with me.

In the FIRST three chapters of the BOOK of REVELATION, the LORD JESUS revealed much.

Here are SEVEN things He asks of us, in the third chapter, after having given His epistle to the seven churches of Asia, through His apostle, John:

1. Be zealous.

2. Repent.

Revelation 3:19

King James Version

19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: 

be zealous therefore, and repent.

3. Hear my voice.

4. Open the door.

5. Sup with Him.

Revelation 3:20

King James Version

20 Behold, 

I stand at the door, and knock: 

if any man hear my voice, 

and open the door, 

I will come in to him, 

and will sup with him, 

and he with me.

6. Overcome.

Revelation 3:21

King James Version

21 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.

7. Hear what the Spirit said unto the churches.

Revelation 3:22

King James Version

22 He that hath an ear, 

let him hear what the Spirit saith 

unto the churches.

The Lord truly desires to have fellowship with us, the body of His church.

The Lord knows my response.

What about you?

What is your reponse?

I agree with apostle John:

1 John 5:3

King James Version

3 For this is the love of God, 

that we keep his commandments: 

and his commandments are not grievous.

The church of THYATIRA

 

The LORD JESUS said:

Revelation 2:18

King James Version

18 And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; 

These things saith the Son of God, 

who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, 

and his feet are like fine brass;

Now, the Lord speaks to the angel of the church of Thyatira:

Revelation 2:19-25

King James Version

19 I know thy works, and charity, and service, 

and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; 

and the last to be more than the first.

20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, 

because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, 

which calleth herself a prophetess, 

to teach and to seduce my servants 

to commit fornication, 

and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.

21 And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; 

and she repented not.

22 Behold, 

I will cast her into a bed, 

and them that commit adultery with her 

into great tribulation, 

except they repent of their deeds.

23 And I will kill her children with death; 

and all the churches shall know that I am he 

which searcheth the reins and hearts: 

and I will give unto every one of you 

according to your works.

24 But unto you I say, 

and unto the rest in Thyatira, 

as many as have not this doctrine, 

and which have not known the depths of Satan, 

as they speak; 

I will put upon you none other burden.

25 But that which ye have already hold fast till I come.

The Lord spoke of Jezebel.

I also found helpful material on the contrasting Elijah Spirit and the Jezebel Spirit, which I will write about more on another blog, or post, as it seems the Holy Spirit curiously led me to a particular Elijah verse today.

The next post is on The church of SARDIS.
