PUT YOUR FAITH, INTO PRATICE!


 ITS LONG OVERDUE, THAT WE PUT INTO PRACTICE, WHAT WE BELIEVE & PREACH:

Attention this is very important, I'm a National, International Global representative of our Lord Jesus Christ and this is His Ministry, ( So, whether you don't believe or trust or follow me, that's unfortunate on your part, But, I thank the Lord Jesus Christ for all of you who do support me, I'm your Senior God-Ordained Chosen Apostle & Messenger and He sent me to serve all of His spiritual Kingdom sons and daughters in the faith of the Lord Jesus Christ. )
Luke 11:49

In Revelation 3:14–21, the Lord manifested by their deeds. The Laodiceans were neither cold nor hot about God, just lukewarm. Hot water can cleanse and purify; cold water can refresh and enliven. But lukewarm water carries no similar value. The Laodiceans understood the Lord’s analogy because their city drinking water came over an aqueduct from a spring six miles to the south, and it arrived disgustingly lukewarm. Laodicean water was not hot like the nearby hot springs people bathed in, nor was it refreshingly cold for drinking. It was lukewarm, good for nothing. It was nauseating, and that was the Lord’s response to the Laodiceans, they sickened Him, and He said, “I Am about to spit you out of My Mouth” (verse 16).

The letter to the Church at Laodicea is the harshest of the seven letters to the Churches in Asia Minor. By His indictment of their “deeds” (Revelation 3:15), Jesus clarifies that this is a dead Church. The members of this Church see themselves as “rich” and self-sufficient, but the Lord sees them as “wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked” (verse 17). Their lukewarm faith was hypocritical; their Church was full of unconverted, pretend Christians.

Jesus frequently equates deeds with a person’s true spiritual state: “By their fruit you will recognize them,” and “Every good tree bears good fruit” (Matthew 7:16–17). The lukewarm deeds of the Laodiceans were not in keeping with true salvation. The deeds of the true believer will be “hot” or “cold”, that is, they will benefit the world in some way and reflect the spiritual passion of a life transformed into the likeness of Christ. Lukewarm deeds, however, those done without joy, without love, and the fire of the Holy Spirit, harm the watching world. The lukewarm are those who claim to know God but live as though He doesn’t exist. They may go to a man-built religious building and practice a form of religion, but their inner state is one of self-righteous complacency. They claim to be Christians, but their hearts are unchanged, and their hypocrisy is sickening to God.

The fact that the lukewarm individuals to whom Christ speaks are not saved is seen in the picture of Jesus standing outside of the Believer (Revelation 3:20). He has not yet been welcomed into their midst. In love, the Lord rebukes and disciplines them, commanding them to repent (verse 19). He sees their lukewarm attitudes as “shameful nakedness” that needs to be clothed in the white garments of true righteousness (verse 18). He urges them to be earnest, or zealous, and commit themselves totally to Him. Our Lord is gracious and long-suffering and gives the lukewarm time to repent.

The Laodiceans enjoyed material prosperity that, coupled with a semblance of true faith, led them to a false sense of security and independence (see Mark 10:23). The expression “I am rich; I have acquired wealth” (Revelation 3:17) stresses that the wealth attained came through self-exertion. Spiritually, they had great needs. A self-sufficient attitude and lukewarm faith are constant dangers when people live lives of ease and prosperity. Amen.

Yes, We will, and Yes We will obey God's Word and Voice.
1 Corinthians 12:28
And God Has Appointed these in The Church: First Apostles, Second Prophets, Third Teachers, after, that Miracles, then Gifts of Healings, Helps, Administrations, Varieties of Tongues. Amen.
Sincerely, God's Honarable Serving Senior Apostle & Messenger, Elder James R Winfree Sr.
Yes, I Dare you to be Free, But Most Importantly, The Lord Jesus Christ DARES you to Be, Stay, and, Remain, FREE.
I Do Love you!
