The Revelation of Jesus Christ Part 38

The Church at Pergamos All the gods of the pagans were overcome by the gospel of Jesus Christ. They are all in ruins today. They could not withstand the power and authority of the name of Jesus Christ!

The Revelation of Jesus Christ Part 37

The Church at Smyrna continued: To die to any reality is to withdraw correspondence with it - to cut ourselves off from all communication with it. Regeneration of the spirit must be followed by the degeneration of the flesh. This death process is the second death - the Death of death!

The Revelation of Jesus Christ Part 36

Church at Smyrna Satan never comes as some hideous, fire breathing monster with a pitchfork. He doesn't yell through a loud speaker at you. He speaks in your own thoughts, understanding, perceptions, intuitions, feelings, emotions and desires, even as an angel of light. The battle rages in the mind! God is mightily moving in our lives in this day to smash that synagogue of Satan within us by the hammer of Truth!

The Revelation of Jesus Christ Part 35

The Church at Smyrna Jesus brought a new and revolutionary way of life! It was a way of believing and not a way of doing. It was faith in Christ and his righteousness. It was simplicity in the highest degree set up against organized worship of the highest degree.

The Revelation of Jesus Christ Part 34

The Church at Smyrna Some teach the great mark of the resurrection was the empty tomb. The disciples never referred to it. They didn't need an empty tomb for they themselves were the proof and witnesses. Christ was Alive in Them!

The Revelation of Jesus Christ Part 33

In one sense man was the garden and yet man was in the garden. It was a garden within a garden - man both in a state of being and in an environment, the two corresponding. It's in this Paradise that the overcomer eats of the Tree of Life!

The Revelation of Jesus Christ Part 32

The church cries out to the world to repent and believe the gospel, but the living Christ is crying out to the church to repent! Should we fail to repent he will pull down the shade of heaven upon us and no more light will be forthcoming until we experience what we have received. He will remove our candlestick!

The Revelation of Jesus Christ Part 31

Relationship begins with communication/prayer. Prayer is not designed primarily for asking or petitioning God for things. Prayer is communication and communion with God. Prayer is seeking after the presence of God, the voice of God, the knowledge of God. We are being saved, changed, matured and transformed by relationship, not by knowledge or laws.

The Revelation of Jesus Christ Part 30

The thing God is after is an Essence ministry! The outflow of Christ from those equipped to breathe the breath of life into the souls of men. This ministry will have nothing to do with any of the church order ministries we have known. Jesus simply was the essence of the Father in the earth at all time, in all places and in all power. He was the fragrance of the knowledge of God!

The Revelation of Jesus Christ Part 29

The revelation of the Lord Jesus in this Holy Place is always calling us onward. The revelation of the Lord within ourselves will never leave us in the same position where we receive it. He is calling us onward; he is drawing us.
