I’m Writing You a Letter

On By Judy GlasserIn DecemberLeave a comment

Jesus is the author of the book of Revelation.  John was the scribe but it all came straight from Jesus in a vision.dec 27 2015 the letters

The letters Jesus wrote to the seven churches provide us some encouragement as well as warnings.  Many of these apply to you and to me today.  Whoever has ears, let them hear. (meaning – If this applies to us, we should listen and respond)

The Church at Ephesus – Great job in not tolerating the wicked!   Great job at persevering!  But you lost the passion you had for me at first.  You need to fan that flame again.  Whoever has ears, let them hear.

The Church at Smyrna – Your suffering and struggles now in myTthings.  Our needs are met and we can become oh so focused on our wants.

And we want ‘more’.

Jesus is saying to us today that we are ‘wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked” when we are serving the ‘god of more’.

Our hearts need to burn hot for God so that we become rich in him, clothed by him and our eyes are opened by him.

God wants us to have victory in him.

Eternal life.

With him.

Amen, Hallelujah!

Thank you, Abba Father!

Warnings Ignored

Hear this!June 12 Warnings Ignored

Wake up!

Mourn!

Despair!

Grieve!

Wail!

Sound the alarm!

The prophet Joel was trying to wake up the clueless people of Judah.  They had wandered back into worshipping all of the false gods that surrounded them.  They took their eyes off of the One True God and he was not going to let them ignore him very much longer.

So Joel spoke warning after warning to the people of Judah.  He pled for them rededicate their hearts to the Lord.  God promised his compassion and grace if they would return to him.  He promised to pour out his spirit upon them if they would call upon his name.

There were some sparks of rededication but they really didn’t change.  They continued down the path towards God’s punishment.

Do we receive any warnings?

What if our finances become all messed up and we’re sinking into debt.  Is that God letting us know that we need to get our finances right with Him so that he can bless us?

What if our relationships are getting all messed up and  it’s just getting worse and worse.  Is that God telling us we need to get our relationship straight with him so he can help us change and grow in our wisdom of how to deal with others?

Maybe this isn’t the right thing to do.

I don’t think I should be saying this.

What am I doing?

How did I get here?  This isn’t where I want to be.

These are some of the warnings God sends into our minds today.  He doesn’t have to speak through prophets anymore because he lives in the hearts of those who believe in him.  And he speaks these warnings into our minds…..

so we can listen…..

and respond…..

and turn back to him….

and he can pour out his love, compassion, strength and wisdom upon us.

Come, dear God.
