What The Spirit Says
Revelation 2:7 He that hath an ear, let
him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh
will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the
paradise of God. (KJV)
You know, there are certain conditions,
certain things that the Lord requires of His people if they are truly going
to be allowed access into heaven. The Lord expects His people to walk in
victory, to be overcomers and not to be overcome by the enemy any longer.
Matthew 4:1-4 Then was Jesus led up of
the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. (2) And when he
had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred. (3)
And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God,
command that these stones be made bread. (4) But he answered and said, It
is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that
proceedeth out of the mouth of God. (KJV)
How do you respond in situations that you
encounter daily; do you seek the wisdom that is from above, or are you
still wrestling with flesh and blood, and getting a bit bloodied in the
process? Jesus of Nazareth was the first man born again into the realm of
the Spirit so that He could demonstrate how we could be led by the Spirit
of Christ, and allow the Son of God to work through us also. Your victory,
your walk with the Lord, will only work if you let this same Spirit lead
and guide you also, and provide the answer that you need in order for you
to be an overcomer and not an underachiever.
Revelation 3:5-6 He that overcometh, the
same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out
of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and
before his angels. (6) He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit
saith unto the churches. (KJV)
You know, the Lord is a bit picky about
who He allows into His house. You wouldn’t let a thief into your house, let
alone a stranger who you were not familiar with and neither will our Lord.
However, when you show up some day before His great white throne of
judgment, only His people who walked His path that He ordained for them before
the foundation of the world will still be found written in His book, while
all others will be erased. I don’t care how good you started out in your
walk with the Lord, and how on fire you were for the things of His realm in
the beginning, it’s only those that continue in the faith and continue to
be overcomers that will be allowed access into their eternal reward.
1 Timothy 4:1-3 Now the Spirit speaketh
expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith,
giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; (2) Speaking lies
in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; (3)
Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath
created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the
truth. (KJV)
The Spirit is speaking, and according to
the Bible that would be now; you know, like now is the day of salvation,
now is the time to give ear to the message from above? There are a lot of
wacky doctrines, so called faiths, blowing like the wind and uprooting
those who are not grounded and settled in the Word of God. If you are
giving ear to what the Spirit is speaking now, then upon your arrival at
the day of judgment you will find your name is written and being confessed
before our Father in heaven.
Revelation 3:20-22 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. (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. (22) He that hath
an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. (KJV)
It takes spiritual ears to hear what the
Spirit is speaking; now the question becomes will you be open to the
message? What it comes down to is this, that you need to open the door and
let the Lord into your life, and let Him remain in your life if you desire
for Him to open the door and let you into His eternal realm also. What goes
around comes around, and my prayer today is that you don’t try to do an end
run around the Lord and His truth.
Romans 8:16-17 The Spirit itself beareth
witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: (17) And if
children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be
that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. (KJV)
The Spirit is speaking, are your ears
open? He is knocking so that you will let Him in to show you the victory
that you have in His realm. After all, who better could you think of to be
leading and guiding you out of this fallen realm than someone who has
already run this race victoriously, and is now seated in victory lane?
Revelation 21:7-8 He that overcometh
shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
(8) But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers,
and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have
their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the
second death. (KJV)
Quit making excuses, because there is no
excuse that will stand before our Father in heaven. With all that has been
done and made available to you this day, is there any reason or something
that you think is more important than listening to what the Spirit says?
