P#211A. The SEVENTH STAGE of The TOTAL Development of THE finally-accumulated CORRUPTIONS ... COMING FROM ... WITHIN THE CHURCH & continuing to the present time ... FOR ... GETTING OVERCOMED!

THE MESSAGE

In Reference To

THE SEVENTH

(ultimate)

STAGE

OF THE TOTAL

• Development of 

   THE CORRUPTIONS

>>REVELATION
3:14-22

• COMING FROM WITHIN

• THE CHURCH HERSELF

• .... continuing to the present time

• ....... for THE LEADERS

• & MEMBERS OF THE DIFFERENT DENOMINATIONS,

• RELIGIOUS GROUPS, & OF RELIGIOUS AFFILIATIONS

• & UMBRELLA ORGANIZATIONS

• for THE WHOSOEVER among THEM WILL REPENT

  • [dili gyud i-PAMUGOS]

and OVERCOME!

v14 “And care/of THE MESSENGER

• to THE CHURCH described as

• IN THE OPINIONS OF MEN

• write:

• THE AMEN, THE FAITHFUL and TRUE WITNESS,

• THE BEGINNING of THE CREATION of GOD, says this:

THE JUDGE - CHIEF-PRIEST -
KING - SAVIOR - OWNER -
BOSS - COMMANDER

• speaks of HIMSELF to them

• as “THE AMEN”, THE ALL RIGHT, THE SO-LET-IT-BE,

• THE ONE WHO will fulfill everything at the end

according to HIS PLANNED THEOCRACY

• which HE conceived since the beginning

• should-be-without human entrepreneurship 

• --- to be on individualized and personal basis!

HE is THE ONE

WHO is about

to say to them

• who continue with their own concepts of what

• THE CHURCH is according to them:

• Tapos ka gyud dili na madugay!

They have turned to

the pattern of taking

to the opinions,
discernments, and
judgments of

• their leaders and forebears and

• publications / shows / rituals / activities

• instead of just THE BIBLE –

• (>>2nd Timothy 2:15)

• rightly applied

• for our time!!!

THE BIBLE has become

  their AUTHORITY

by lip-service only.

• Their authority is actually in their majority,

• making "their" churchES often a democracy

• BUT at times when their Pastor wields his POWER,

• it becomes his dictatorship.

They advocate
for unity
--- but

• only as long as their MAJORITY is in favor.

• Their minority is encouraged and on occasions told by their Pastor

• it is all right for them to leave His church

• when they cannot agree with THEM!!!

• They are zealous for more members but

• they care less for the souls that have become “theirs” already

• BUT are expressing reluctance to go all out with them!!!

Many of them

go to being

mistakenly proud to

announce themselves

• as exclusivists and separatists

• THE LORD did not want anyone in HIS CHURCH to be.

• (>>>T#045 ~ John 17:20-21 Kind of Unity & Strategy to Achievement).

• THE LORD knows all these facts obtaining in our midst!

v15 ‘I know your deeds,

• that you are neither hot nor cold;

• I would rather that you were cold or hot.

THE JUDGE
CHIEF PRIEST-LORD

is very categorical in

saying to them

• HE knows their deeds and

• declares what exactly HE wants of them.

• It’s a pity how they contradict HIM

• even as they openly continue to declare it is 

“their” church

• and therefore CLEARLY

not HIS; 

• and claiming they are doing right for THE LORD

• despite THE LORD is not with them 

• IN their behaviors, teachings, rituals, and methodologies!!!

Although

they are hot

in their evangelization
efforts

• “winning souls” and

• “planting their own churches” with

• --- their own schemes & methodologies, behaviors, words and teachings which are CONTRARY

• to the ways & means exemplified by THE eldering APOSTLES

• and are all in accordance to what are called

• to be overcome earlier and up to now!

Averaging then,

they are to HIM

neither hot nor cold.

v16 ‘SO, because you are lukewarm,

• and neither hot nor cold,

• I will spit you out of MY mouth.

Oh, what

a terrible thing for them

to have been in GOD's
mind already added to

THE CHURCH as those who
were being saved
(>>Acts 2:47)

• but to be spit out by HIM.

• Oh, because of their spiritual conceit and/or "superiority"

• emanating from their faith

• on their continuing insisted teachings, among others

• of "INSTANT" (>>>MENU #044) SALVATION

• and ETERNAL "SECURITY" (>>>T#039) !!!

• They are most proud with their acquired knowledge

• and claimed enjoyment

• resulting from those religious entrepreneurs'

• most sincere efforts at evangelization and teaching.

You give them biblical
articles and treatises

to read

not authored by

their accepted writers,

• they arrogantly ask

• what new things there are in them for them.

• Worst, they don’t even read them.

• They behave like they lack nothing

• that others like you can give.

v17 ‘Because you say,

• “I am rich,

• and have become wealthy,

• and have need of nothing,”

• and you do not know

• that you are wretched

• and miserable

• and poor

• and blind

• and naked,

They do not realize

the fact of
material and spiritual

things:

• that if a man boasts of his material riches,

• his bank account, his paper bills, and treasures do not fly away

• and their value do not decrease.

• SADLY, that is how they think of their “knowledge” of THE BIBLE

• and of their church

• ---- their supposed riches and enjoyment.

Yet, when it comes
to spiritual things,

• once you boast of them

• --- they vanish away in an instant.

• And because despite this truth they continue to cling on

to their
high estimate of
themselves,

• (bride-in-waiting of JESUS already they claim to be)

• PLEASE let them READ

• (>>>T#073)

so that they
will understand
with ease

• why THE LORD JESUS,

• their claimed BRIDEGROOM

• found fit to frankly and categorically tell them

• here and NOW(!)

• to procure from HIM a substitute thereof. 

v18 I advise you to buy from ME

• gold refined by fire,

• that you may become rich,

• and white garments,

• that you may clothe yourself,

• and that the shame of your nakedness

• may not be revealed;

• and eyesalve to anoint your eyes,

• that you may see.

THE JUDGE-LORD sees their

POVERTY

as needing much to be desired

of

• THE FAITH IN & TOWARDS HIM

• >>>T#003

• that comes from hearing further THE WORD of GOD.

They have yet to realize

• that their faith is not

• IN & TOWARDS

• THE LORDSHIP & THE CHRISTHOOD of JESUS as should be (>>Acts 2:14-36)

• --- but was a result of their hearing

• and answering the question cum invitation

• from their leaders;

• thereafter,

• obeying their leaders’

• and accepted authors’ doctrines.

They ought to have
that faith that comes from
having heard

THE WORD of GOD
instead !!

(>>Romans 10:17).

• They are deceived believing

• their leaders'-made-and-imposed doctrines

• as THE WORD of GOD

• they innocently believed and

• repeatedly say AMEN to even phrase by phrase

• wrongly as the faith on trial.

As regards to their

NAKEDNESS,

• THE LORD tells them to procure from HIM,

• (pay the price of humility to HIM --- >>James 4:10)

• “white raiment,

• that they may be clothe and

• that the shame of their nakedness

• do not appear.”

>>2nd Corinthians 5:3
tells us all

“if so be that being
clothe

we shall not be found
naked.”

• BUT for them, let them not be deceived up to the end of their respective times.

• For they have not really put on THE CHRIST

• in their BAPTISM (>>Galatians 3:27, >>>T#004)

• for their purpose in getting baptized

was not

for the remission of

their sinnings

• but for membership to their local church

• as a testimony to the world around them

and consequently

where they are required

to give

• their tithes & offerings. (>>>T#015 and >>>T#016)

• and the rest of their intentions and behaviors

• have not been pure and uncorrupted before THE LORD.

THE LORD JESUS
says in >>Matthew 10:42,

 “And whosoever shall give
to drink unto one of these
little ones
a cup of cold
water only, in the
name of a disciple,
verily I say unto you
he shall in no wise
lose his reward.”

• This is the white raiment.

• They may treat others with love feasts, feeding programs and not just cold water; yet,

• it may not be "white"

• as when they do things

• FOR THE GLORY of their group and

• their financial sponsors

• ---- and not FOR THE GLORY OF THE CHRIST

• IN WHOSE BEHALF WE ARE TO BE GIVING

• AS HIS DISCIPLES!

• GOD is not deceived,

• those cannot be counted.

But the root of all their

spiritual POVERTY and
NAKEDNESS

is actually their BLINDNESS.

• THE CHIEF-PRIEST - LORD - JUDGE tells them

• here and NOW(!)

• to anoint their eyes with eyesalve

• that they may see.

• They must have

• THE INDWELLING of The Holy Spirit first (>>>T#029)

• and the consequent revelation of The Holy Spirit

• leading them (>>>T#030)

• and not anymore stick

• to what they and their leaders

• have agreed upon among themselves.

They are merely walking
in the light of

THOSE NICOLAITANS
>>> T#026

they are following.

• In their preachings,

• the people they are beholden to

• are more often and in fact more cautiously quoted in accuracy

• than they do to THE SCRIPTURES.

• They have yet to realize

• the people they are beholden to

• actually have followed some of the teachings

• of those their predecessors split with in the past and

• not having come to know of them and those prior developments,

• they and their members have become ignorant of the following facts:

• + Although JESUS offered HIS body on the cross once and for all in Calvary in A.D. 33 yet ---- as a substitute for all sinners who ought to die in their sinnings (>>Hebrews 10:10),

HIS redeeming blood
was shed

only for the many

(not all)

whose sinnings
have been forgiven

(>>Matthew 26:28)

• under THE New COVENANT's GRAND AMNESTY GRANT

• of which HE is THE MEDIATOR (>>Hebrews 8:6)

• that started to be made available for our availment

• that PENTECOST DAY of A.D. 33!!!!

• when HE started to officially reign

• as announced by Peter >>Acts 2:32-35

• and later reinforced by Paul in 1st Corinthians 15:25-26

• + and that 10 days after THE LORD JESUS in bodily form ascended to heaven ---- since that PARTICULAR DAY

HE spoke
(>>Hebrews 1:1-2)
through

the apostles ---

and now(!) for us
these are already compiled
and in written form

in
THE New COVENANT

(>>2nd Peter 3:2)

• + as the words to remember as commandments to get obeyed by us from THE LORD and THE CHRIST

spoken by Peter on that DAY
of PENTECOST of A.D. 33

for all believers
JEWS & GENTILES
in our time

to do

(>>Acts 2:37)

• to “repent and

• to each one be baptized

• in the name of or by the authority of ----

(according to what is

already written in

THE NEW COVENANT)

• ---- THE LORD JESUS THE CHRIST

for the forgiveness of
(our individual)
sinnings”

(>>Acts 2:38)

• + and only then are we believers INDIVIDUALLY INDWELT by The Holy Spirit

Who is given as a pledge

• of our inheritance with a view

• to our redemption (>>Acts 2:38, >>Ephesians 4:30)!!!

That there are 4
just-as-important
and
to be all obeyed
commands we have

to obey one
after
another!

[the first three] commands---

• to bring us to

• the summary forgiveness of

• our sinnings,

• as GOD’s INSTRUCTIONS HOW TO DEAL with sin

• under THE GRAND AMNESTY GRANT of THE LORD JESUS THE CHRIST

• detailed in full in ----
  
  >>> THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD

[ 1st] >>John 8:24,

 [ 2nd] >>Luke 13:3, 5; and

[ 3rd] >>2nd Thessalonians 1:8-9 (>>1st Corinthians 15:1-4)

  and since after
THIS SUMMARY
FORGIVENESS for
our SINNINGS

committed during all
those years we still have
not as yet then believed

in JESUS as
THE LORD & THE
CHRIST,

we still now and then sin ---

 we are to obey ---  

[4th]>>1st John 1:9, >>Matthew 10:32-33 and
>>Romans 10:9-11

 
 
v19 “Those whom I love,

• I reprove and discipline;

• be zealous therefore, and repent.

After those
rebukes, THE JUDGE -
CHIEF-PRIEST - LORD
consoles and directs.

v20 ‘Behold I stand at the door and knock;

• if anyone hears MY voice

• and opens the door,

• I will come in to him,

• and will dine with him,

• and he with ME.

This verse is addressed
by THE CHIEF-PRIEST
LORD JESUS

• to them individually

• inside those churches in their own opinions

• (believers in JESUS at that!), and

• ..... this verse should not anymore be used (>>>T#033)

• by any one of them

• TO PREACH TO UNBELIEVERS!!!!

The door here does not refer

to the door of an unbeliever’s
heart as they teach and
preach but

• ---- to the door to their church

• ---- that has become truly entirely theirs

• ---- their church door or access being

• ---- their leaders added and imposed

• requirements & standards

• ---- for their ENTRY as members and continued fellowship (>>> T#011) therein.

Because of them,

• the awful fact is revealed by THE LORD JESUS HIMSELF.

• HE is outside the doors of their churches and

• because they who are inside them do not have THE INDWELLING of The Holy Spirit in them,

• they have to open their respective church doors

• for HIS WORD to enter their respective churches

• and get HIS Holy Spirit indwell them individually

• who obey HIM (>>Acts 5:32 & >>Luke 11:32)

Oh, how repeatedly
have they pronounced
proudly

• and you heard them unmistakably and repeatedly very clearly say,

“our (their) church”

--- therefore
not HIS CHURCH.

• To them who repent --- MagBINAG-O na!

• --- by undoing all their poverty, nakedness, and blindness

• --- by opening the door of their church

• --- to HIM WHO is knocking

• FROM OUTSIDE THEIR CHURCH,

• HE will fellowship with them.

Aaarayyy!

Only then is there

FELLOWSHIP

with HIM.

• And they’d better be in a hurry.

THE CHURCH Age
is fast ending.

• The repentant member of THE CHURCH in The Opinions of People

• [and not according to THE New COVENANT of THE LORD JESUS]

• are promised as they eventually become and living as amnestied turned OVERCOMER

• to be immediately seated

• with THE CHRIST on HIS throne

• @ HIS coming.

v21 ‘He who overcomes,

• I will grant to him to sit down with ME

• on MY throne,

• as I also overcame

• and sat down with MY Father on His throne.

This is the call by

THE CHIEF-
PRIEST - JUDGE - LORD -
KING JESUS

to the INDIVIDUAL
MEMBERS of these

different kinds of churches that

they have already BECOME!!!!

• They have to overcome their pride & conceit

• to accepting they have that need to pay a price for the needed items

• --- without ado,

• --- without conferring with their fellow members,

• and in the process

get THE LORD’s
INDWELLING finally!!!

• The fact is clear: these different kinds of churches

• will continue to exist even @ THE LORD’s COMING.

• They who continue with the corruptions

• and not overcome them

• will constitute the many spoken of in >>Matthew 7:21-23.

However, they who overcome

will be seated with

THE LORD in HIS throne

• so that they will participate

• in THE LORD’s AUTHORITY IN ETERNITY

• as soon as IT starts!

 v22 ‘He Who has an ear,

• let him listen to what

• The Spirit says to the churches.’

This challenge

is for all

CLAIMANT
CHRISTIANS


Roman Catholics Protestants
 ALL Denominationalists Religionists 

• who claim to be adherents to HIS WORD;

• understand

• yet, do not spend time, effort and devotion (>>Acts 17:11)

• with determination (>>2nd Corinthians 1:13-14)

and thereafter
play their individual roles

among and with

 some of the leaders, supporters,
followers and members

of the different churches

• The Holy Spirit may get him or her to be

• in and out of (>>John 10:9-10)

• now(!) and then !!!!
