CHAPTER SIXTY THREE

THE LORD SPEAKS TO THE CHURCHES

My beloved people, I speak unto you this day...

Even as I spoke with John on the island of Patmos so many centuries ago, a message for the churches, so also do I desire to speak today a message for My churches around the world.

THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST, WHICH GOD GAVE HIM TO SHOW HIS SERVANT ... THINGS WHICH MUST SHORTLY TAKE PLACE. AND HE SENT IT AND SIGNIFIED IT BY HIS ANGEL TO HIS SERVANT JOHN.
REVELATION 1:1 NKJ

O My people, I desire that you open your ears to hear what the Spirit is saying unto you...things which must shortly take place. I am raising up many servants such as John, to hear My voice today and to speak My words unto My people.

...WHO BORE WITNESS TO THE WORD OF GOD, AND TO THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS CHRIST, AND TO ALL THINGS THAT HE SAW.
REVELATION 1:2 NKJ

My servants shall bear witness to the words of My Father and to My testimony and to all things that they see.

BLESSED IS HE WHO READS AND THOSE WHO HEAR THE WORDS OF THIS PROPHECY, AND KEEP THOSE THINGS WHICH ARE WRITTEN IN IT; FOR THE TIME IS NEAR...
REVELATION 1:3 NKJ

My people, My people, indeed the time is near, even right at your doorstep and multitudes are not hearing or seeing or accepting the imminence of My coming. To those whose eyes are open and whose ears are hearing and who are obedient to My words, shall I bless exceedingly.

GRACE TO YOU AND PEACE FROM HIM WHO IS AND WHO WAS AND WHO IS TO COME, AND FROM THE SEVEN SPIRITS WHO ARE BEFORE HIS THRONE, AND FROM JESUS CHRIST, THE FAITHFUL WITNESS, THE FIRSTBORN FROM THE DEAD, AND THE RULER OVER THE KINGS OF THE EARTH. TO HIM WHO LOVED US AND WASHED US FROM OUR SINS IN HIS OWN BLOOD, AND HAS MADE US KINGS AND PRIESTS TO HIS GOD AND FATHER, TO HIM BE GLORY AND DOMINION FOREVER AND EVER. AMEN.
REVELATION 1:4-6 NKJ

O My people, how great is My love for you, how great is My desire that you become kings and priests before Me, washed from your sins by My blood.

AND IN THE MIDST OF THE SEVEN LAMPSTANDS ONE LIKE THE SON OF MAN, CLOTHED WITH A GARMENT DOWN TO THE FEET AND GIRDED ABOUT THE CHEST WITH A GOLDEN AND. HIS HEAD AND HIS HAIR WERE WHITE LIKE WOOL, AS WHITE AS SNOW, AND HIS EYES LIKE A FLAME OF FIRE; HIS FEET WERE LIKE BRASS, AS IF REFINED IN A FURNACE, AND HIS VOICE AS THE SOUND OF MANY WATERS; HE HAD IN HIS RIGHT HAND SEVEN STARS, OUT OF HIS MOUTH WENT A SHARP TWO-EDGED SWORD, AND HIS COUNTENANCE WAS LIKE THE SUN SHINING IN ITS STRENGTH.
REVELATION 1:13-16 NKJ

Beloved, you too shall see Me as did John, when I come for you in all power and glory, but you must be made ready. I shall speak to you even as I spoke to the churches through John, so long ago. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

TO THE ANGEL OF THE CHURCH OF EPHASUS WRITE, THESE THINGS SAYS HE WHO HOLDS THE SEVEN STARS IN HIS RIGHT HAND, WHO WALKS IN THE MIDST OF THE SEVEN GOLDEN LAMPSTANDS; I KNOW YOUR WORKS, YOUR LABOUR, YOUR PATIENCE, AND THAT YOU CANNOT BEAR THOSE WHO ARE EVIL. AND YOU HAVE TESTED THOSE WHO SAY THEY ARE APOSTLES AND ARE NOT, AND HAVE FOUND THEM LIARS; AND YOU HAVE PRESERVED AND HAVE PATIENCE, AND HAVE LABOURED FOR MY NAME'S SAKE AND HAVE NOT BECOME WEARY. NEVERTHELESS I HAVE THIS AGAINST YOU, THAT YOU HAVE LEFT YOU FIRST LOVE, REMEMBER THEREFORE FROM WHERE YOU HAVE FALLEN; REPENT AND DO THE FIRST WORKS, OR ELSE I WILL COME TO YOU QUICKLY AND REMOVE YOUR LAMPSTAND FROM ITS PLACE...UNLESS YOU REPENT.
REVELATION 2:1-5 NKJ

He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

AND TO THE ANGEL OF THE CHURCH IN SMYRNA WRITE, THESE THINGS SAYS THE FIRST AND THE LAST, WHO WAS DEAD, AND CAME TO LIFE: I KNOW YOUR WORKS, TRIBULATION, AND POVERTY (BUT YOU ARE RICH); AND I KNOW THE BLASPHEMY OF THOSE WHO SAY THEY ARE JEWS AND ARE NOT, BUT ARE A SYNAGOGUE OF SATAN. DO NOT FEAR ANY OF THOSE THINGS WHICH YOU ARE ABOUT TO SUFFER. INDEED, THE DEVIL IS ABOUT TO THROW SOME OF YOU INTO PRISON, THAT YOU MAY BE TESTED, AND YOU WILL HAVE TRIBULATION TEN DAYS. BE FAITHFUL UNTO DEATH AND I WILL GIVE YOU THE CROWN OF LIFE.
REVELATION 2:8-10 NKJ

He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

AND THE ANGEL OF THE CHURCH IN PERGAMOS WRITE, THESE THINGS SAYS HE WHO HAS THE SHARP TWO-EDGED SWORD: I KNOW YOUR WORKS, AND WHERE YOU DWELL, WHERE SATAN'S THRONE IS. AND YOU HOLD FAST TO MY NAME, AND DID NOT DENY MY FAITH EVEN THE DAYS IN WHICH ANTIPAS WAS MY FAITHFUL MARTYR, WHO WAS KILLED AMONG YOU, WHERE SATAN DWELLS. BUT I HAVE A FEW THINGS AGAINST YOU, BECAUSE YOU HAVE THERE THOSE WHO HOLD THE DOCTRINE OF BALAAM, WHO TAUGHT BALAK TO PUT A STUMBLING BLOCK BEFORE THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL, TO EAT THINGS SACRIFICED TO IDOLS AND TO COMMIT SEXUAL IMMORALITY. THUS YOU ALSO HAVE THOSE WHO HOLD THE DOCTRINE OF THE NICOLAITANS, WHICH THING I HATE. REPENT, OR ELSE I WILL COME TO YOU QUICKLY AND WILL FIGHT AGAINST THEM WITH THE SWORD OF MY MOUTH.
REVELATION 2:12-16 NKJ

He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

AND TO THE ANGEL OF THE CHURCH IN THYATIRA WRITE, THESE THINGS SAYS THE SON OF GOD, WHO HAS EYES LIKE A FLAME OF FIRE, AND HIS FEET LIKE FINE BRASS; I KNOW YOUR WORKS, LOVE, SERVICE, FAITH AND YOUR PATIENCE; AND AS FOR YOUR WORKS, THE LAST ARE MORE THAN THE FIRST. NEVERTHELESS I HAVE A FEW THINGS AGAINST YOU, BECAUSE YOU ALLOW THAT WOMAN JEZEBEL, WHO CALLS HERSELF A PROPHETESS, TO TEACH AND BEGUILE MY SERVANTS TO COMMIT SEXUAL IMMORALITY AND TO EAT THINGS SACRIFICED TO IDOLS. AND I GAVE HER TIME TO REPENT OF HER SEXUAL IMMORALITY AND SHE DID NOT REPENT...AND I WILL KILL HER CHILDREN WITH DEATH. AND ALL THE CHURCHES SHALL KNOW THAT I AM HE WHO SEARCHES THE MINDS AND HEARTS. AND I WILL GIVE TO EACH ONE OF YOU ACCORDING TO YOUR WORKS. BUT TO YOU I SAY AND TO THE REST OF THYATIRA, AS MANY AS DO NOT HAVE THIS DOCTRINE, AND WHO HAVE NOT KNOWN THE DEPTHS OF SATAN, AS THEY CALL THEM, I WILL PUT ON YOU NO OTHER BURDEN. BUT HOLD FAST WHAT YOU HAVE TILL I COME. AND HE WHO OVERCOMES AND KEEPS MY WORKS UNTIL THE END, TO HIM I WILL GIVE POWER OVER THE NATIONS...HE SHALL RULE THEM WITH A ROD OF IRON; AS THE POTTER'S VESSELS SHALL BE BROKEN TO PIECES...I ALSO HAVE RECEIVED FROM MY FATHER; AND I WILL GIVE HIM THE MORNING STAR.
REVELATION 2:18-21, 23-28 NKJ

He who has ears, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

AND TO THE ANGEL OF THE CHURCH IN SARDIS WRITE, THESE THINGS SAYS HE WHO HAS THE SEVEN SPIRITS OF GOD AND THE SEVEN STARS, I KNOW YOUR WORKS, THAT YOU HAVE A NAME THAT YOU ARE ALIVE, BUT YOU ARE DEAD. BE WATCHFUL AND STRENGTHEN THE THINGS WHICH REMAIN, THAT ARE READY TO DIE, FOR I HAVE NOT FOUND YOUR WORKS PERFECT BEFORE GOD. REMEMBER THEREFORE HOW YOU HAVE RECEIVED AND HEARD; HOLD FAST AND REPENT. THEREFORE IF YOU WILL NOT WATCH I WILL COME UPON YOU AS A THIEF, AND YOU WILL NOT KNOW WHAT HOUR I WILL COME UPON YOU. YOU HAVE A FEW NAMES, EVEN IN SARDIS WHO HAVE NOT DEFILED THEIR GARMENTS; AND THEY SHALL WALK WITH ME IN WHITE, FOR THEY ARE WORTHY. HE WHO OVERCOMES SHALL BE CLOTHED IN WHITE GARMENTS, AND I WILL NOT BLOT OUT HIS NAME FROM THE BOOK OF LIFE, BUT I WILL CONFESS HIS NAME BEFORE MY FATHER AND BEFORE HIS ANGELS.
REVELATION 3:1-5 NKJ

He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

AND THE ANGEL OF THE CHURCH IN PHILIDELPHIA WRITE, THESE THINGS SAYS HE WHO IS HOLY, HE WHO IS TRUE, HE WHO HAS THE KEY OF DAVID, HE WHO OPENS AND NO ONE SHUTS, AND NO ONE OPENS: I KNOW YOUR WORKS. SEE, I HAVE SET BEFORE YOU AN OPEN DOOR, AND NO ONE CAN SHUT IT; FOR YOU HAVE A LITTLE STRENGTH, HAVE KEPT MY WORD, AND HAVE NOT DENIED MY NAME. INDEED I WILL MAKE THOSE OF THE SYNAGOGUE OF SATAN, WHO SAY THEY ARE JEWS AND ARE NOT, BUT LIE...INDEED I WILL MAKE THEM COME AND WORSHIP BEFORE YOUR FEET, AND TO KNOW THAT I HAVE LOVED YOU. BECAUSE YOU HAVE KEPT MY COMMAND TO PERSEVERE, I ALSO WILL KEEP YOU FROM THE HOUR OF TRIAL WHICH SHALL COME UPON THE WHOLE WORLD, TO TEST THOSE WHO DWELL ON THE EARTH. BEHOLD, I COME QUICKLY! HOLD FAST WHAT YOU HAVE, THAT NO ONE MAY TAKE YOUR CROWN. HE WHO OVERCOMES, I WILL MAKE HIM A PILLAR IN THE TEMPLE OF MY GOD, AND HE SHALL GO OUT NO MORE. AND I WILL WRITE ON HIM THE NAME OF MY GOD AND THE NAME OF THE CITY OF MY GOD, THE NEW JERUSALEM, WHICH COMES DOWN OUT OF HEAVEN FROM MY GOD, AND I WILL WRITE ON HIM MY NEW NAME.
REVELATION 3:7-12 NKJ

He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

AND THE ANGEL OF THE CHURCH OF THE LAODICIANS WRITE, THESE THINGS SAYS THE AMEN, THE FAITHFUL AND TRUE WITNESS, THE BEGINNING OF THE CREATION OF GOD; I KNOW YOUR WORKS, THAT YOU ARE NEITHER HOT NOR COLD. I COULD WISH YOU WERE COLD OR HOT. SO THEN, BECAUSE YOU ARE LUKEWARM, AND NEITHER COLD NOR HOT, I WILL SPEW YOU OUT OF MY MOUTH. BECAUSE YOU SAY, I AM RICH, HAVE BECOME WEALTHY, AND HAVE NEED OF NOTHING...AND DO NOT KNOW THAT YOU ARE WRETCHED, MISERABLE, POOR, BLIND AND NAKED...I COUNSEL YOU TO BUY FROM ME GOLD REFINED IN THE FIRE, THAT YOU MAY BE RICH; AND WHITE GARMENTS, THAT YOU MAY BE CLOTHED, THAT THE SHAME OF YOUR NAKEDNESS MAY NOT BE REVEALED; AND ANOINT YOUR EYES WITH EYE SALVE, THAT YOU MAY SEE. AS MANY AS I LOVE I REBUKE AND CHASTEN. THEREFORE BE ZEALOUS AND REPENT. BEHOLD, I STAND AT THE DOOR AND KNOCK. IF ANYONE HEARS MY VOICE AND OPENS THE DOOR, I WILL COME IN TO HIM AND DINE WITH HIM AND HE WITH ME. TO HIM WHO OVERCOMES, I WILL GRANT TO SIT WITH ME ON MY THRONE, AS I ALSO OVERCAME AND SAT DOWN WITH MY FATHER ON HIS THRONE.
REVELATION 3:14-21 NKJ

He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

Beloved, I love you with an everlasting love and even as I spoke these words to John for the churches of his day so do I speak them today for your churches. Behold, I come quickly! I need to find cleansed vessels, free of all sin in their lives and ready to labour in the end time harvest.

These words are just as relevant today as when I spoke them so long ago. Study them well and be obedient to their admonition. Pray for all shepherds everywhere that their ears might be opened to what the Spirit is saying to the churches today. Pray also that the ears of the congregations might be opened to what the Spirit is saying.
