Church of Laodiceans, God was not pleased with

Church of Laodiceans

The church of Laodiceans, God was not pleased with the church of Laodiceans, Why?

The church of Laodiceans is the worst church, They won't even stand up for Jesus if it's hurt their cash flow.

Revelation 3:15-16 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

They flow through life trying not to step out of line, whether that step be right or wrong.

Revelation 3:17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:

Revelation 3:14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;

15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.

It's possible to fit many of the churches of today into this mold.

They are deceived by the political situation and political beast.

They flow through life trying not to step out of line, whether that step be right or wrong.
They won't even stand up for Jesus if it's hurt the cash flow.
God tells us in the next verse how He will handle these folks.
This is the worst church

16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

I will spue thee out of my mouth
Because thou art lukewarm and neither cold or hot
Meaning = They do not stand for Christ = nothing but money

17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:

They are blind to the truth
God has sent them a delusion
They think they are rich
But they are spiritually poverty stricken
They are stripped naked
Because they have not the truth.
Revelation 19:8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.

The fine linen is, your ''righteous acts'' - your works = this church doesn't have no truth = no works for God

18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.

God wants you as His own.
He gives counsel as to how you may be spiritually rich and clothed in purity.
The fine linen is, your ''righteous acts'' - your works

19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

How many times do we tell our own children that we are punishing them because we love them?
It's no difficult to understanding what our Father means in this verse.

20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

It says "when I knock at the door"
You will hear my voice
And then open the door
When He calls, you will answer
Christ doesn't stand at the door begging
Revelation 19

21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

Understand the love and tenderness in this verse
You, the first fruits, will be there with Him
As He sits down with the Father

22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

All seven churches have now been covered
It gives us a great deal to think about as we equate their problems with present day problems.
We need to be on guard
Because the time soon approaches us.
There was only two churches God was pleased with.

Revelation 3:10 and Matthew 13
