THE NAME LIVES!

 YES, THE BLESSED NAME OF OUR HEAVENLY FATHER, JESUS LIVES, BUT ARE YOU DEAD?

God's World Renowned Apostle James R, Winfree, Sr, I Am Mandated By The Lord To Cultivate, Enlighten, and Empower, God's Nations Son's And Daughters In His Love. Know this, I'm Not in the Work or Ministry For Any Income, But I am in God's Work and Ministry to hear Him say, Well Done, this is the Income We are looking to receive.

The Holy Blessed Name Of Jesus Christ Lives, But most religious people and sinners who use it are spiritually lifeless and dead... In Revelation, Yeshua Yah Commanded His angel of the Churches to write, “To the angel of the Church in Sardis write:
He who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars, says this: ‘I know your deeds, that you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead. Revelation 3:1:

My Spiritual family in Christ our Blessed Savior Jesus, the message in Revelation 3:1-6 goes contrary to most of what Evangelicalism teaches today. The Church at Sardis had A Name that it was alive yet our Lord bluntly said that even so, they were ( spiritually dead.) I stand firm with what God’s Word says about what constitutes a real Christ Lifestyle and what doesn’t. When I point out that certain Beliefs and Faiths do not measure up, I am called trying to know it all, hating today's religions and their leaders, and many other ugly things, and then some of my critics resort to worldly things such as over-looked and even denial of financially help, support and fellowship. Excuse me, but how can anyone justify this and call this Christian behavior?

In my own experience, some of those same fellows stalk me on Instagram Twitter, Facebook, and my many other blogs making sure to denigrate everything I do or say, always looking to ambush my God-ordained ministry. However, in my case, most of the ugliness has been in twisting what I have written and taking those things out of context then attempting to discourage me with an attack from behind or from the side… You get the idea, you, God's true spiritual sons and daughters in the faith of our Savior Jesus Christ.

In my studies of real Christ Lifestyle and how real Christ Believers love one another as they love the Father and Christ, is what I just shared an example of that? No, it is an example of man-centered religiosity Churches based on fables that pretend to be all about Christ's Way. The thing is, they think they are Christians. They think they are the ones who are alive and everyone else is wrong. However, our Lord said that we shall know the false from the true by their fruits and how is that? How do real Christians treat each other?

Let’s look at the Church at Sardis, the dead Church ones.

(1.) “To the angel of the Church in Sardis write:
He who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars, says this: ‘I know your deeds, that you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead. (2.) Wake up, and strengthen the things that remain, which were about to die; for I have not found your deeds completed in the sight of My God. (3.) So remember what you have received and heard, and keep it, and repent.

Therefore if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will come to you. (4.) But you have a few Believers in Sardis who have not soiled their garments; and they will walk with Me in white, for they are worthy. (5.) He who overcomes will thus be clothed in white garments, and I will not erase his name from the book of life, and I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels. (6.) He who has an ear, let him hear what The Spirit says to the Churches.’ Revelation 3:1-6 Amen.

Sardis was a wealthy City and this Church had a name for being a leading mega-church, however, the Church in Sardis was dead, that is, unredeemed unregenerate people, for the most part, populated it. That does mean they were religious. They considered themselves Christians, but that was not based on Christ’s criteria. What were Christ’s criteria? We have our answer in verse 2,
“Wake up, and strengthen the things that remain, which were about to die; for Yeshua Yah have not found your deeds completed in the sight of His God. ” The Greek word that is translated as “completed” is( this is how it is written in my Greek study book>>> ( πεπληρωμένα or peplērōmena the Accusative,) Perfect, Participle of ( πληρόω or plēroō,) “fulfill, complete”. In other words, their “works” were of the flesh not of the Spirit, which they would be if they were in Him. However, notice that our Lord reminds them that they have heard the gospel and now they need to repent and obey it. Notice also that there are a few there who are found worthy. These are genuine Christ Believers so not all are dead.
You have a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they will walk with Him in white: for they are worthy. Revelation 3:4. Amen.
We may understand this to refer to justification. “They will walk in white, that is, they will enjoy a constant sense of Christ's justification by faith; they will understand that the righteousness of Christ is imputed to them, that they have all been washed and made whiter than the newly-fallen snow.

Again, it refers to joy and gladness: for white robes were holiday dresses among the Jews. They who have not defiled their garments will have their faces always bright; they will understand what King Solomon meant when he said “Go your way, eat your bread with joy, and drink your wine with a merry heart. Let your garments be always white, for God has accepted your works done in grace.
He who is accepted by God will wear white garments of joy and gladness, while they walk in sweet communion with the Lord Jesus. Whence so many doubts, so much misery, and mourning? It is because so many believers defile their garments with sin and error, and hence they lose the joy of their salvation, and the comfortable fellowship of the Lord Jesus, that they do not here below walk in white.
The Promise also refers to walking in white before the throne of God. Those who have not defiled their garments here will most certainly walk in white up yonder, where the white-robed hosts sing continually hallelujahs to the Most High. They will possess joys inconceivable, happiness beyond a dream, bliss which imagination knows not, blessedness which even the stretch of desire has not reached. The “undefiled in the way” will have all this of merit, nor of works, but of grace. They will walk with Christ in white, for He has made them “worthy.” In His sweet company, they will drink from the living fountains of water. Hallelujah!
The promise in verse 5 is not only for those found worthy but for those who are being warned if they repent and believe. Amen.

My loving Spirit-filled and anointed Brothers and Sisters, yes, the visible Church in our time is worldly and full of spiritual darkness. The world loves it so we know that it cannot be doing what is supposed to be doing. However, even in Sardis, there were a few found worthy. This is the remnant that our Lord always has no matter how bad things get. Again, look at the warning, yes those religious people were pretenders. They were unregenerate and unredeemed even though they had The Name Jesus Christ, that they were alive.
That is called hypocrisy. That is rampant in our time my heaven-going spiritual family. We tend to look at how popular a so-called well-known, wealthy, and rich Christian leader is or what their beliefs and teachings are before we look at their fruit, that is, how are they doing in the Christ Way fellowship lifestyle? Do they love you as their own family? How about how they treat you in your times of need o do they just pray for you and give you handouts that wound't give to their own families? How’s their humility doing or are they way too arrogant living in gated communities? You get the idea.
In keeping this real and truthful, We must examine ourselves first and put and keep the Lord God Jesus Christ ahead of ourselves while standing firm in the faith. Amen.
