Don't Be Luke-warm!

and to the angel of the church laodiceans write,

These things says the Amen, the Faithful and true Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God:

I know your works, that you are niether cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, and niether cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of my mouth." (Revelation 3:14-16)

I love this quote. I have always been a spiritual person, but there has been times in my past where I have praticed other religons. In other words, I was cold. Now that I am a Christian, I have gone (or at least I have tried to do my best) to become hot (like a fire) for Jesus.

In my experience, it is often-times those who were from the occult and then become Christians who are more on fire for God than those who have lived as a Christian all of their lives. Maybe it is because they feel they have a lot to catch up on, maybe it is because of the awesome grace and mercy of God, maybe it is seeing evidence of God in peoples lives. Perhaps this is why Jesus said that he came for the sinners, and not the Pharisees.

Demons are defeated!

"I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and Death." (Revelation 1:18)

Praise God that He sent Jesus to defeat Satan, so that we as Christians can also be warriors against demons and the devil himself. If Jesus had never died and gone into Hell to defeat Satan, we would not be able to cast out demons and heal people. 

We must always remind Satan that he has already been defeated by Jesus, and because we are children of God, we have been bought by His blood and His dying and going down into "Hades", therefore Satan can't defeat us.

The Book of Revelation

Over the next few weeks I plan to write some great entries about the Book of Revelation.  I feel this is very important.

Why?

Because many people, even Non-Christians are beginning to feel as if we are living in the "End Times".  I believe that this is proof that our Lord is truly moving in the world, and that the Book of Revelation is very close to being manifested in the real, physical world.

Please keep an eye out for my next blogs.

Thanks and God Bless!
