Let’s open the Word of our master
In Isaiah 4 verse 1
Isaiah 4 verse 1 "And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, “We will eat our own bread and wear our own apparel; only let us be called by thy name to take away our reproach"
Hours ago I was in the car with a brother and the Lord gave me this passage and really put in my heart to share it with you.
The seven women here represent the apostate church unto sin.
As you may know it, number 7 in the Bible tells of the absolute, of perfection when it’s about God and His doings.
But when it comes to Satan or to the carnal human being, the sinner,
number 7 speaks about sin at its highest level.
So the seven women in this text tell us about the “paganized” church
the church of Laodicea, the seventh church.
Why is Laodicea the seventh church?
As I’ve taught you, in the scriptures number seven when referring to God, speaks about perfection, holiness, a finished work.
But when it is used for human beings, sinners, the Enemy, demons, or sorcerers,
number 7 tells about sin at its highest level.
Beyond this number there is number 8, renewal : something that start again.
For sinners, there is nothing beyond number 7. It is the ultimate level of evil.
So you see that Isaiah 4 speaks about 7 women and the scriptures tell also of 7 churches and the seventh is nothing else but the church of Laodicea.
A church totally alienated from God,
a church that has sacrificed her holiness for money.
And what does that church say here, in Isaiah 4?
“in that day” this expression is often used in the scriptures,
it is about the messianic times, the end of times
“in that day” when the prophet Isaiah prophesies here in the eighth century before Christ, these seven women were not yet active.
This apostate church, the church of Laodicea was not already there
and Isaiah gets a glimpse of this church and prophesies on her that way
And in that day seven women (or this church) shall take hold of one man, saying, “We will eat our own bread and wear our own apparel; only let us be called by thy name to take away our reproach”
These women or this church wants firstly, to keep her bread and secondly, to keep her clothes.
She just wants to be called by this man’s name.
Please follow the teaching brothers and sisters. I believe that God will speak to each of us because it is a prophetic message.
These 7 women do not want to eat the bread of this man at all.
They do not want to wear his clothes either.
All they want is to be called by his name. That is it.
What can we understand here?
Let’s first speak about these 7 women.
My friends, in the scriptures the woman often represents the church
and the first woman used as an image of the church is of course, Eve.
And Israel was also represented as a woman, the Lord’s spouse, Yahweh’s spouse.
2 Corinthians 11: 1 to 3.
2 Corinthians 11: 1 to 3. "I hope you will put up with me in a little foolishness. Yes, please put up with me! I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy. I promised you to one husband, to Christ, so that I might present you as a pure *** to him."
Here we have a good image of the Church.
The real church of Yehoshua has nothing to do with our buildings, our houses.
We are told that this ecclesia is promised to one husband.
We can even say to “only one man” who is Yehoshua.
We understand that the man in Isaiah 4 is no one else but Jesus-Christ, the last Adam
literally the last man according to 1 Corinthians 15
And the word says in Philippians 2 that Jesus appeared as a man.
You see that the real church is the spouse of Yehoshua
but the apostate church also wants to be called by His name, (we will see why) while eating her own bread and wearing her own garments.
(We will explain what is the bread and what is the cloth.)
Brothers, listen to the teaching. We understood that the real church is promised to Christ but not to the Pope or a pastor.
It means that all the Christians that are attached to their worship leaders or their pastors are not engaged to Christ.
Because to be promise to Christ means that we are bound up with him.
We are not attached to a building, to a house, to a group of people.
We are first attached to Christ
“from whom all the body, having nourishment ministered and knit together by joints and bands, increaseth with the increase from God” says Colossians 2.
Brothers, sisters, children of God, Christians who love the truth, open your ears tonight.
I repeat that this genuine church is not bound up with a pastor.
She may easily get attached to men but cannot do without her chief and master, Yehoshua.
What more do we learn?
We learn that there is another woman not attached to Christ, this apostate church, who also wants to get advantage of that name, Yehoshua.
Let me give you some passages the Holy Spirit is reminding me.
What are the advantages from being called by that name?
Acts 19 verse 13 (I love the Gospel and the illumination God gives us.)
Acts19 verse 13 "But certain also of the strolling Jews, exorcists, took upon them to name over them that had the evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, I adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth. And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, a chief priest, who did this"
How many were they? They were 7 ! You see my friends, the combination between, Isaiah and acts 19.
I had never seen this that way before, I’m just receiving it.
We have been told about the 7 women who wanted to be called by the name of Jesus. And here we are being told about the 7 sons of Sceva, chief priest who as well, wished to be called by the name of Jesus.
Why?
Because they saw the spouse of Jesus using that glorious name to cast out demons.
They saw Paul who was a member of the body of Christ using that name against demons and it worked.
And they wanted to do the same, they were priests, so from a false church, they thought to use the same name while eating their own bread which was Moses, and their own apparel that was their own justice.
Yet, you cannot cast demons by eating Moses and keeping your own apparel.
Then they tried to invoke that name on the possessed people they called from everywhere but it did not work. We know what happened next.
“And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and mastered both of them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.”
They said we cast you out in the name of Jesus whom Paul preaches.
Only let us be called by your name.
Most of your pastors are called by the name of Jesus without eating His bread or wearing His clothes.
Today, the majority of Christian singers with wonderful voices do not want to eat the bread of Jesus or to wear His clothes, they only want his name.
Because Yehoshua said, you will obtain whatever you ask in my name.
They think that the Name of Jesus Christ is a talisman.
This is why it is written in Matthew 7: 22 “Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy by thy name, and by thy name cast out demons, and by thy name do many mighty works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you:”
We are living in a time when all the Christian you meet are called by the name of Jesus.
They all claim to be Christians, which means “Like Christ “ but only a small core eats the bread of Jesus and wears his apparel.
I’m receiving it from God at the same time as you .
In Isaiah 4, the seven women are the ones who took the initiative to go see Jesus to tell him “we shall eat our own bread, we shall wear our own clothes, as for you, just give us your name”
just give us your name and that’s it.
This is what the seven sons of Sceva chief priest did. This is what most of our pastors do.
See the Catholics, they have the name of Jesus, but they have their own garments and their own bread.
See the protestants, they have the name of Jesus but they have their clothes and their bread.
See today’s Christian singers , the so called Christian musicians. They sing Jesus half-heartedly but they do not eat the bread of Jesus and they do not wear his cloth.
We are first describing the 7 women who are the church of Laodicea.
We will later develop the bread and the garment. May God enlighten us tonight.
Let’s read Revelation chapter 3 verse 14
“To the angel of the church in Laodicea write: These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of God’s creation.
I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth.
You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked.
I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see.
You see (all of you who love the truth) The seventh church, the church of Laodicea represents the seven women of Isaiah 4.
And what do we learn here? We learn that this church was eating another bread, she had her own apparel and the Lord saw her as naked.
The first church that has fallen was Adam and Eve and they found themselves naked, without any clothe.
They had refused the bread of God to eat another one, the tree of knowledge of good and evil and their clothes were fig-leaves.
When God came to them after their sin, his Glory was such that the fig-leaves might have fragmented. That is why Adam will say I’m naked though the Bible says he had fig-leaves.
The 7 women represents the church of Laodicea :
the Christians organizations, today Christianity, The Jehovah Witnesses , the Catholics, the Protestants, the evangelicals, the independent churches, the Methodists, the Presbyterians, the Pentecostals , the Adventists,
all kind of Christian groups, they are all in the same basket, the Christianity “paganized”
They all claim to be of Jesus.
All these singers, who do not want the bread of Jesus. We are going to see what this bread is.
All these people, this big mixture represent the big religion, the church of Lucifer;
This church is represented by the 7 women and by the church of Laodicea with material and financial wealth but the Lord defines her as poor, blind and naked. What does the bread mean ?
1 Corinthians chapter 10 verses 15 to 22
"I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say. The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not a communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not a communion of the body of Christ? seeing that we, who are many, are one bread, one body "
The bread is the image of our communion with Christ.
When the women in Isaiah say that they will eat their own bread, it means that they refused relation and communion with God.
Adam did the same.
We are told that there is one bread, only one, not two, not three. It literary means that there is only one message, not two.
It means that if you are a Christian and I’m a Christian, we must have the same message. We have to agree.
While there may be some differences, we must agree on the essential because it is the same spirit that gives the same message.
There is only one bread. It is the true Gospel.
Christian, open your ears and listen.
This is the reason why the true children of God, when they hear the message we preach (and which is also preached all around the world by other brothers we do not know,)
they can only accept it because it is the bread that is already in their heart
We all eat the same bread, you and I my friends, this is why there is the large gathering of the elected.
Because the trumpet is sounding, and as there is only one bread everyone says this is the true, this is the Word, this is the message, God had told me about, God had shown it to me, because there is only one bread.
Paul goes on
"seeing that we, who are many, are one bread, one body: for we are all partake of the one bread. "
It means that we eat the same bread, we the true Christian. So when I hear a person preaching this message I acknowledge : this is the true because we eat the same bread.
"seeing that we, who are many, are one bread, one body: for we are all partake of the one bread. Behold Israel after the flesh: have not they that eat the sacrifices communion with the altar? What say I then? that a thing sacrificed to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything?
But [I say], that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God: and I would not that you should have communion with demons.
You cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of demons:
you cannot partake of the table of the Lord, and of the table of demons.
Brothers and sisters, there is a table prepared for the Christians around the world; They share the same bread. It is the principle of the Lord’s supper.
When the Lord called the twelve for that supper, he took one bread and broke it because it was the same bread for all of them.
As soon as Judah who was not predestined for heaven ate the bread, the Devil entered him.
When those who are not of God try to eat this bread, the devil takes place in their heart because they are not of God.
Consequently they become furious when they hear this message, like Judah who became more wicked.
Satan entered him.
When religious people hear this message, it is as if the devil enters them and they want our death.
You understand now? Because the bread we eat brings life to the children of the kingdom but brings death to others. This is why we are hated.
The Lord said they hate me because of my word. You see, the bread of God causes hatred in the children of hell.
So do not be troubled when people hate you because of the bread you have begun to eat.
The genuine Word. The bread of life.
What did the Lord say my friends? The bread of life. Paul said that there is a table prepared for the Christians and we eat the bread of the Lord
This bread is the Lord’s supper. This bread is the Passover.
This is why during the Passover, the Hebrews used to eat the Azim bread, the bread without leaven.
When the women in Isaiah 4 said to Yehoshua “we want to eat our own bread” it is because they were refusing the cross, the Passover is the Cross.
Because on the Cross, the bread has been broken, Jesus’ body has been broken, this is why we are a new batch of dough as said in 1Corinthians 5. This is the message.
There is something glorious tonight, the heavens are open, the true children of God will be delivered by the pure Word, by pure water.
The apostate church refuses the Cross so they no longer preach on the Cross.
The cross, repentance, conversion, sanctification, holiness, exposure of sin.
What is the Cross ? The Cross is the tree of life that Adam refused to eat in order to eat the bread of death: the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
The bread is the body of Christ, His Word, the cross, the Passover.
What is the most important feast for the Hebrews? It is the Passover.
What is the feast for the deliverance that protected the Hebrews from death? The Passover.
You see that there is the bread and there is the cup. In the cup there is the blood. This is the Passover.
So the seven women, the apostate church refuses the Passover, the sacrifice of Yehoshua so they focus on work: “you must pay the tithe to be blessed, you must fast in order to be blessed or be healed.”
But the Bible says that it is not by our fasting that people are healed but we are healed by the wounds of Jesus. (Isaiah 53)
It is not because of our prayers that God heals people. He had already healed them from eternity when he sacrificed his son. This is the Gospel, the bread of life, the pure word to be preached, brother and sisters.
This Word that breaks the chains of religion. I love the Word brothers. Let’s see the scriptures.
We saw in 1 Corinthians 10 that the bread is the body of Christ, the Lord’s supper, the Passover.
Then Melchizedek will appear to Abraham the father of faith, with bread and wine. Abraham tasted the bread and the wine.
The Passover did not begin with Moses but from all eternity and was first revealed to Abraham. He saw the Most High, El Elyon.
Let’s take John 6 verse 48. "I am the bread of life". The apostate church wants to bear the name of Jesus but they don’t want the life of Jesus.
Knowing that there is no life without death, there is no death without the cross. You must first go through the cross to die. To be resurrected, you must first die;
Jesus says “I’m the bread of life Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. "This is the bread which comes down out of heaven, so that one may eat of it and not die. …”
This is the reason why all those churches are dead.
Because they eat a rotten bread , the bread of financial prosperity, the bread of the tithe, the bread of pastoral coverage, the bread of Christian federations in order to be protected.
The bread of the fear of the pastor, the bread of church buildings, temples called churches, false teachings, the bread of the law of Moses, all this leads to death.
and the Lord said “Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died” It is terrible.
The manna is Moses.
In most of our churches, Moses is more announced than Christ. They speak about temples like Salomon, they dedicate temples built by men while we are already the temple of the Holy Spirit.
They focus on the Sabbath, some adopt rites of Judaism and go on pilgrimage in Israel, they eat a false bread, a bread that produces death in them.
They preach on men; “the man of God, the man of God” saying “put your confidence in the man of God and you shall have success”. They distort the scriptures.
A teaching focused on men instead of the Lord. A bread that produces death.
John 6 verse 51 " and the bread also which I will give for the life of the world is My flesh. Then the Jews began to argue with one another, saying, "How can this man give us His flesh to eat?"
"So Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in yourselves."
"He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.For My flesh is true food, and My blood is true drink."
"He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him."
He said on verse 58 : "This is the bread which came down out of heaven; not as the fathers ate and died; he who eats this bread will live forever.These things He said in the synagogue as He taught in Capernaum."
He delivered this message in the synagogue where people were eating another bread.
And Jesus brings another message in a synagogue. To follow his example, we need to bring another message to the synagogues today. Christians drank dirty water so they need another message.
Verse 66 : "As a result of this many of His disciples withdrew and were not walking with Him anymore. So Jesus said to the twelve, "You do not want to go away also, do you?" Simon Peter answered Him, Lord, to whom shall we go? You have words of eternal life "
Verse 64 "But there are some of you who do not believe. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who it was that would betray Him."
"And He was saying, For this reason I have said to you, that no one can come to Me unless it has been granted him from the Father"
Look at verse 60 "Therefore many of His disciples, when they heard this said, This is a difficult statement; who can listen to it?"
You understand why the 7 women in Isaiah 4 do not want the bread? Because the Word, this bread is hard; It is the Cross;
This is why most of the Christians in our church today do not want the Gospel. They prefer to have their ears tickled as it is written in 2 timothy 4.
Many false doctors come with their false teachings and tickle their ears. Because the true word is difficult, it is written. I’m not the one who states it.
People criticize me saying “Shora is hard, he is not sweet” There are so many words to discourage me. I will never be silent; The word is clear, it is the Sword, this is the Gospel, it is the separation from sin. We must proclaim this Word in the name of Yehoshua.
I was telling to a singer how can you associate with other singers who are living in sin, divorced, remarried… and she told me not to touch this subject.
People do not want the truth, that is why there is nothing more to do for some for they have chosen hell.
This statement is difficult who can hear it ?
The bread is the Passover. 1 Corinthians 5 says that Christ is our Passover. We are a new batch of dough and we must avoid leaven, because it can make you leaven to death.
You are the results of the teachings you receive. Yes, your future depends on the teachings you receive, on the word you listen to. Your faith also depends on the word planted in your heart.
If you receive false teachings from men, teachings based on philosophy, on the basic principles of this world as written in Colossians 2 , you will have a weak faith.
The bread is the pure gospel, the true word, the water of life, the body of Christ, and above all things: it is the Cross;
My friends, look for teachings on the Cross, complete dependence upon God, faith, sanctification, these teachings are increasingly rare!
These 7 women also said “we want to wear our own apparel.” What is the meaning of apparel ? Let’s go to Isaiah 64 verse 6, thank you Lord for your Word, The Lord teaches us, the Gospel is glorious.
Isaiah 64 verse 6 : "We have all become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous deeds are like a polluted garment. We all fade like a leaf, and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away."
All our righteous deeds are like a polluted garment; In the scriptures, garments represent righteousness , God’s righteousness as well as human righteousness.
God’s righteousness as well as human righteousness.
And these women who wanted to wear their own clothes wanted in fact to keep their own righteousness, their own works. They refused God’s justice.
The Lord said to the apostles, “unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees, you will not be saved.”
What was the Pharisees righteousness ? : it was necessary to observe the Sabbath, observe the days, to be circumcised, pay the tithe, that was their righteousness, totally human, fleshly.
The Lord’s justice is the one we received thanks to the work of the Cross.
Romans chapter 5 verse 1 "Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ
By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope. "
The word says that we are justified by faith through the sacrifice of Christ. It means that no one can be saved unless he receives God’s righteousness.
By the sacrifice of his son, God made us right, he is the one to declare that we are right, not our works
yet the seven women in Isaiah 4, refused the Lord’s righteousness, they gave preference to their own righteousness
, examples : requiring tithing to people so that they will be blessed in return when in fact Ephesians 1: 3 affirms that we have been blessed in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing.
This is why most of the churches focus on works, works, works. The more money you give, the more you’ll be pastors’ friends,
the more money you give, the more you’ll be considered.
Everything is about human righteousness, and people glorify themselves because they give a lot of money to the church.
They glorify themselves because they have beautiful clothes, suits, ties, cassocks, They think such is the righteousness of God.
They call each other Majesty as it is done in some churches here in Paris, especially one Church where financial prosperity is thoroughly preached.
People think that they will be protected because they have joined a federation.
They believe that their safety will come from men so they quickly join federations to be sure that their church building will not be closed one day by the administration.
This kind of behavior proves the refusal on their part to let God justify them.
But the Lord says in Mark 10 that it is impossible to men to save themselves. It is impossible to reach salvation by our own means.
Isaiah 64: 6, says that all our righteous acts are like filthy rags. Brothers, it is terrible.
It means that you cannot be accepted by God because you fast a lot, you cannot be healed by the Lord because you prayed a lot, you cannot be blessed financially by the Lord because you gave a lot.
No! Of course there is a principle about the more you give the more you are blessed but we must understand that if we have money, it is because God allows it !
What do you have that you did not receive? And if you did receive it, why do you boast as though you did not?
And God says in Job 41: 11 Who has a claim against me that I must pay?
So everything comes from God. Everything !
When I see on the web, women (from Kinshasa) preaching that God heals people because they (these women) make one hundred days of fasting, I think “what an insult!”
They spit on the finished work of the Cross.
In reality, God has healed us before the beginning of the world. It is written in Isaiah 53 that we have been healed by his wounds.
People are not healed and delivered because of our fasting or prayer. Far from it !
When Peter prayed for the man who was lame from birth, people were astonished;
And Peter said why does this surprise you? It is not by our own power or godliness that we had made this man walk.
It is because someone paid the price on the cross. This is the message to be preached.
I hear pastors saying to Christians “I prayed for you and you have been healed but you gave me nothing”,
they need recognition, they demand rewards, they demand thanksgiving. But thanksgiving is to the Lord!
We are not supposed to receive thanks. When people are healed, they do not have to thank us. We are only unworthy servants. It is said in Luke 17: 10.
So when people are healed during the programs we organized, I have nothing to do with it.
It is not because I pray or fast a lot. It is not because God called me, it is because God has already healed us, on the Cross Christ healed us.
Christians, this is the Gospel !
You can fast during one hundred days, you who teaches this, repent woman! You lead people to Hell with your false doctrine.
It is the Word of God that heals. And our God’s name is Yahweh Rapha, do not forget it and he does not share his glory with anyone. No one !
we must return to the biblical message, to the apostolic message;
We hear pastors complain “I prayed for this woman, she was healed and now she has left the church. She is not grateful”;
But people are free, you have not healed her, people are free.
So you also, when you have done everything you were told to do, should say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty. It is written in the word.
The church of Laodicea, refuses the bread, the cross, the Passover, the bread of life, the genuine Gospel, the Lord’s righteousness that is to accept that we are unworthy servants.
Many pastors have become arrogant to the point of refusing to repent when the Lord asks them to share the truth.
Some of them know the truth but don’t want to share it with the brothers and sisters. This is serious.
They only want the name of Jesus. The name of Jesus has become a business.
They will allow a pagan who is not even converted to join a local church, to sing in the choir.
The person is a pagan, she lies, she runs after married man, she goes from house to house, she refuses to get married while all men want to sleep with her,
and this person who is a genuine pagan, will be called Christian, will bear the name of Christ, will go from church to church to sow confusion.
And we have this kind of cases in our churches.
People who call themselves pastors, prophets, apostles, doctors, bear the name of Jesus, use his name and organized paying seminars, they published paying teachings boxes, whereas Jesus never did so.
They bear his name, they preach his name, but they do not live like the master lived.
It means that they refuse the life of Christ; As the bread is life.
He said he is the bread of life. What is the life of Jesus?
Jesus never sold his teachings, so we cannot sell our teachings.
Christ did not sell his songs, they sang in Gethsemane garden with the disciples, who paid while there were singing there ?
Nobody!
Christians, listen to me tonight. Each time you see a Christian singer organizing paying concerts or a pastor organizing paying biblical trainings, conferences, dance trainings,
brothers you must realize that they are people who are called by the name of Jesus but who refuse his bread, who refuse his garments, his righteousness.
It is written in Romans to clothe ourselves with Christ. So Christ is really a garment that we must wear.
Romans 13:14 says "Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the flesh."
Clothe yourself with the Lord Jesus-Christ. You see that these 7 women refused to clothe themselves with Christ.
Christ is our bread, Christ is our apparel. The person who is clothed with Christ, the Father will not see his nakedness because he is covered.
The garment of Christ is the one worn by the high priest when he entered the Holy of Holies.
The tiara is the helmet of salvation, the name of Jesus meaning salvation, Yahweh saves, to help us against filthy thoughts sent by the devil,
the belt worn by the high priest is Christ (Ephesians 6), his dress is Christ,
the pectoral is Christ, the shield of faith.
You see? The high priest in the holy of hollies wore the armor of the fighter described in Ephesians 6. This armor is nothing else but Christ in his many aspects.
My friends this is awesome.
You see that when a Christian refuses to clothe himself with Christ, he is naked and he cannot appear before God.
Thus is the church of Laodicea. So the Lord calls her poor, blind and naked; also miserable. It is terrible.
They prefer to wear suits and ties, cassocks, Kippah, evangelic Christians who want to live more and more as Jews begin to wear the Kippah.
This is the world upside down and they have forsaken Christ.
The Catholics also claim to bear the name of Christ, Mormons claim to belong to the name of Jesus Christ, Jehovah’s witnesses also, Protestants wants to be called by the name of Jesus Christ. You see brothers?
Even the Muslims speak about Izzah, Jesus. They say he is a prophet. You see that even in Islam they also took the name of Christ. Do you realize? It is terrible.
Everyone has that name. Even the pagans in regards to history speak about a before and after Christ. Only let us be called by your name.
Christians, the Word is true, do you realize? Now, where are the true children of God?
Those who have the bread and the apparel. Because those who have the apparel are sanctified.
They fear God, they have the nature of Christ in them, the life of Jesus.
. Today, many people want to build a church only with the name of Jesus. We can see a certain man without any unction, without the Word, without the message however he wants to lead a church.
They all want to open their own shop, their religious firms but where are the true Christians? This is serious.
Finally: Matthew chapter 7 verse 21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’
Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’
At the end, the Lord will tell all these people, this church which refused to eat the bread of the Lord and wear his clothes,
, this church that only wanted to use the name of Jesus Christ, "withdraw from me" and there will be confusion.
As I was speaking, the Lord gave me another verse in 2 Timothy 2 verse 19.
It is said in Matthew 24 “many will come in my name saying I’m the Christ”, you see, the Lord said it.
So people use the name of Jesus Christ today, and it works because many are sick and need healing so as soon a there is an eloquent preacher, they are seduced. As soon as there is a singer with a nice voice, people are seduced.
Let’s read 2 timothy 2 verse 19
Nevertheless, God’s solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription: “The Lord knows those who are his,” and, “Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness.”
The church of Laodicea, these 7 women do not want to turn away from wickedness. In those churches, focus is put on numbers of members not on quality;
The thieves, the liars, the divorced, remarried, fornicators, sorcerers, they are all in the same basket with federations etc.
It is Babylon saying “ let’s gather together in order to be strong, to avoid being dispersed.”
But there is no sanctification, sin is not exposed, they do not put out people who do not want to repent and be sanctified.
Pastors want their churches filled with people so their eyes are wide shut on sin, compromises ,
Because Pastors need big salaries, on each Christian head, on the head of each woman and man, they see banknotes
instead of souls that need to be brought to God. It is serious.
