These things saith He that hath the seven Spirits of GOD, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead. Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before GOD. Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee. Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy. 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. (Rev 3:1-5)
We are to live the name of Christ, to be called Christian not because of ourselves, but because we truly are 'little Christs', full of the Spirit and dead to our own desires and agendas. We are to watch and be sober, guarding our hearts and His Words, holding fast to that which is good. We are to prove all things through the lens of His Word and see all for what it is and how GOD sees it. We are to walk in Christ, in His Word, showing the world of our Saviour, and their need for Him.
We seek revival and yet don't do the things that GOD requires for revival to come. We seek the Salvation of the lost, but they won't come to Christ unless the Spirit draws them when we lift up Jesus Christ, in our lives, our hearts, our behavior, and our conversations. For GOD's revival to come to GOD's Church, GOD's people must be in Christ, seeking His face and living in and through Him. His children must be repentant, acknowledging our sIn as an offense to our Holy GOD. We must be continually filled, not drunk and out of control, but controlled by the Holy Spirit. We must be broken before the Throne of GOD, useful for the Master. We must be obedient to GOD and His Word, to do all that GOD has commanded. Then He will revive His people, so they can be on mission for Him, to minister to the hurting, disciple one another, and share His message of Hope to this lost and dying world.
For GOD is not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance and the knowledge of the Truth. Jesus loves you and wants to establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal. Believe His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary was sufficient for your sIn and surrender to GOD on His terms, receiving Jesus Christ for forgiveness and Salvation and He will give you a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. Stop trusting in yourself, and let Him write your name down in the Lamb's book of Life for all eternity.
In Christ,
