The word of God is a sword; it is a weapon both offensive and defensive, it is, in the hand of God, able to slay both sin and sinners. The lord says, “I have a few things against you”.  You see, this church of Pergamos had not only opened its doors to all comers but got blind sided with false doctrines that had invaded the church and the church allowed it to happen.

A call to widespread attention, that all men, in all the world, should hear what passes between Christ and his churches—how he commends them, how he comforts them, how he reproves their failures, how he rewards their fidelity. It alarms all the inhabitants of the world to observe God’s dealings with his own people; all the world may learn instruction and wisdom thus, with a gracious promise to the conquering Christian

How important is this term “Overcome” to be understood? My friends just this word Overcome indicates there is an obstacle, a difficulty, a mountain.  Why are so many leaders and teachers avoiding this warfare preparation?  We’re talking about reaching people for Christ and mankind’s Salvation.  The armor of God is to be worn daily as this world Hates the Followers of Christ. Matthew 10:22 “And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved”.

 “Fix this picture firmly in your mind: Jesus, descended from the line of David, raised from the dead. It’s what you’ve heard from me all along. It’s what I’m sitting in jail for right now—but God’s Word isn’t in jail! That’s why I stick it out here—so that everyone God calls will get in on the salvation of Christ in all its glory. This is a sure thing: If we die with him, we’ll live with him; If we stick it out with him, we’ll rule with him; If we turn our backs on him, he’ll turn his back on us; If we give up on him, he does not give up— for there’s no way he can be false to himself.”

2 Timothy 2:12

We need to intentionally help people not only learn the knowledge they need but also help them live out what they learn. We teach and instruct those we disciple so they can, in turn, disciple others. Our goal for sheepherding is spiritual maturity, which means that those we disciple are growing in their ability to Love God and others.  They are learning to live out their calling to make other disciples and use the gifts God has given them within the Body of Christ.

The insecurities of mankind are the most compelling aspect of his lostness. And with that said mankind is moving through this life, on planet earth, in a state of confusion as to what they are to be accomplishing, with their day-to-day existence of living in this life. 

Ecclesiastes 3:11 “Yet God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God’s work from beginning to end.”

James, a bondservant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ.  To the twelve [Hebrew] tribes [scattered abroad among the Gentiles] in the dispersion: Greetings (rejoice)! Consider it nothing but joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you fall into various trials.  Be assured that the testing of your faith [through experience] produces endurance [leading to spiritual maturity, and inner peace].  And let endurance have its perfect result and do a thorough work, so that you may be perfect and completely developed [in your faith], lacking in nothing.  James 1:1-4

The Brides Focus is all about farming the Garden of Spiritual Hearts, that Jesus has given her, in regard to plowing, cultivating and sewing seed into fertile hearts producing bursting appetites for more of Him.

 Later, Jesus appeared to the eleven [disciples] themselves as they were reclining at the table; and He called them to account for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they had not believed those who had seen Him after He had risen [from death].  And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.  He who has believed [in Me] and has been baptized will be saved [from the penalty of God’s wrath and judgment]; but he who has not believed will be condemned.  Mark 16:14-16

The Bride remembers her little sister instead of forgetting her as she, the Bride, moves on to deeper things.  Immature believers are under the responsibility the Bride.  The “little” sister is little in faith and thus, easily loses her courage in difficulties. She quickly gives up in pressure. The daughters of Jerusalem were in this same condition as this little sister

It takes God to Love God. We need the Spirit’s supernatural help to love God with all of our heart. The anointing to love God is the greatest gift that the spirit imparts to a believer. The Holy Spirit is the “All Consuming Fire” and the “Living Flame” that baptize us with His Fiery Love. “He will baptize you [who truly repent] with the Holy Spirit and [you who remain unrepentant] with fire.”  (Luke 3:16)
