This message is going to be quite contradictory
to what is taught and tolerated in the Western Church today. Honestly, I don't even want to speak it. But the Lord is pressing on my heart that I must share what He has revealed to me through the same message that He gave to the church in Thyatira. I pray people will not despise me for what I am about to say. Here goes. “Write this letter to the angel of the church in Thyatira." Thyatira was another city of Asia Minor. It was south of Istanbul, east of Athens, and about 50 miles from the Aegean Sea. It was another city influenced by the gods of Greece. It’s the city where Lydia came from. Lydia was a woman who Silas and Paul met on their journey to Macedonia. She and other women were praying at the riverbank. Lydia was a merchant of expensive purple cloth, who worshiped God. As Paul spoke to her, she listened with great intent and the Lord opened her heart. She accepted and received what Paul had to say. GOD - I HOPE THAT IS HOW PEOPLE RECEIVE THIS MESSAGE TODAY With the knowledge of Jesus Christ, Lydia and her household were baptized, And then she asked Paul & Silas to be her guests. She said, “If you agree that I am a true believer in the Lord come and stay at my home. She urged them until they agreed.” You can read more about Lydia and their exchange in the Acts of the Apostles, Chapter 16 verses 13-15. Back to the message - Jesus said, “This is the message from the Son of God, whose eyes are like flames of fire, whose feet are like polished bronze:” His eyes match the Ancient of Days, as described by Daniel from his vision found in Chapter 7 verse 10. And this is where the message gets hard! Jesus said, “I know all the things you do. I have seen your love, your faith, your service, and your patient endurance. And I can see your constant improvement in all these things. “But I have this complaint against you. You are permitting that woman - that Jezebel who calls herself a prophet - to lead my servants astray.” Now listen closely to what Jesus says next - “She teaches them to commit sexual sin and to eat food offered to idols. I gave her time to repent, but she does not want to turn away from her immorality.” Oh my God - this is the church today! Pastors who are not willing to teach what the Bible says! They want to bend and teach love, without addressing the truth about what the Word says! And we wonder why our youth are led astray! It’s because their parents have been conditioned to submit to a culture of compassion and human love rather than obeying God for what His Word says. People want to blame parents, but I blame the church for not reflecting the light in a true sight! There are many Jezebel spirits in the pulpit today! Most pastors are either condemning and not loving, or bending and twisting - where are the true servants of God who will stand on the truth in love? They are like a pendulum that swings from the left or the right. Where are the ones who reflect plumb line faith? Honestly right now - I can only think of one man of God who speaks the truth in love and that man is Pastor Brian Broadway! “Therefore, I will throw her on a bed of suffering, and those who commit adultery with her will suffer greatly unless they repent and turn away from her evil deeds.” I wonder - how many pastors are willing to receive this message and change their evil ways? Church members - what about you? Do you choose to follow a false teacher and bend to their desires, or do you follow Jesus and keep His Word? Are you more afraid of God or of humans? Jesus said, “I will strike her children dead. Then all the churches will know that I am the one who searches out the thoughts and intentions of every person. And I will give to each of you whatever you deserve.” Let me tell you, Jesus does not play! Even if you love, have great faith, offer unfailing service, and exhibit patient endurance, you will still be thrown into the fire for omitting the truth and leading God’s children astray! “But I also have a message for the rest of you in Thyatira who have not followed this false teaching (‘deeper truths,’ as they call them - depths of Satan, actually). I will ask nothing more of you except that you hold tightly to what you have until I come.” Thank you Jesus! I will stand on your truth no matter what! I will not bend to the ‘deeper truths of Satan’ and rationalized behaviors of men that many in the church teach today! Church - I give this warning! If your pastor tolerates sexual sin, and they are not willing to stand on the written Word of God - then you are standing on the same ground as Korah’s rebellion - as found in Numbers 16. You may not see the earth opening up, and eating all the men and their families as the Israeilites did, but I’m here to warn you, it will happen when the temporary death takes them away. Body of Christ - “Move away from the tents of these evil men. Don’t touch anything that belongs to them! If you do, you will be destroyed because of their sins.” I wish it was like the time of Moses, when the prophet would say what was revealed to them, and God would immediately deliver His intent. Then people would know it was not a show. It is really a warning from the Holy Spirit; an act of kindness to repent for your sins; a desire to love you and help you turn away. If the earth opened up and took the false teachers, and all of their families then people would know, without a shadow of a doubt, that this message was sent in love. But those days are gone - and now we stand on faith alone. We either believe God's Word or we don’t. It's really that simple. I can say for myself, there is no place in my heart for Jezebel to dwell. That spirit was finally expelled. Brethren - I can’t truly love you without standing on God’s truth. I'm sorry it these words hurt. Unfortunately many pastors today move the plumb line, and are comfortable standing on fault lines. And in the process, they take down the members who stand beside them, including the children and youth they promised to love - all because they were not willing to share the truth of God's Word. “To all who are victorious, who obey me to the very end, To them I will give authority over all the nations. They will rule the nations with an iron rod and smash them like clay pots. They will have the same authority I received from my Father, and I will also give them the morning star! Anyone with ears to hear must listen to the Spirit and understand what he is saying to the churches.” Revelation 2:18-29 Thank you Lord for allowing me to hear your message, and for giving me the boldness to reveal the truth about sexual sin as the food of idols and the false pastors who are teaching or tolerating it.
