Caution! Laodicean Syndrome

Beloved, Grace and Peace!


 Revelation 3:14-22



 The message to the church in Laodicea

14) And the angel of the church in Laodicea write: These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of God's creation:15) I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot!16) So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth.17) Because thou sayest, I am rich, and I am become rich, and have need of nothing: and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked;18) I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich, and white raiment, that thou mayest be, and does not appear that the shame of thy nakedness and anoint thine eyes with eye drops, that thou mayest see.19) I rebuke and chasten many as I love, be zealous therefore, and repent.20) Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come into him, and will sup with him, and he with me.21) To him that overcomes will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.22) He who has ears, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

         My brothers the Lord God is very clear in his words towards his Church (We) and very loving, believe me. He makes this clear in the text here (verso19).


         Now, the danger that surrounds us, is ourselves, thinking that we are "perfect" (Vers17), which are better than others and we are always right; Remember this letter was addressed to a Church thought and acted as if "the Church". And this is very serious, find that there is no problem when the waiting is the lake of fire. If you think about it, the Church of Laodicea was not a bad church, she was a middle ground church, or in other words it was impartial. One day a friend shared a story with me that this passage reminds me, Let's see: ... "There was a city with a large wall and a man on top of that wall, and the outside of the wall was the devil and his angels, and inside, Jesus and his Angels. And Jesus called His angels with man "Come down from the wall and comes with us" and the man did not care, and this scene was repeated; Jesus and his Angels calling the man: "Go down the wall and comes with us." Man turned to the outside and spoke to the devil: "Why do not you go cry to your side? Jesus is calling me on the inside and you do not worry! Why? and the devil said to him: The wall is mine. "

        Jesus corrects us because He loves us (Vers19). It gives us a chance to show us how to proceed in the face of adversity, and teaches us to overcome the enemy. See the Church of Laodicea was living a complacency, a life in the warm presence of God, and God does not expect it of us (Church), He expects us to seek him with all your heart, soul and mind.


          My beloved (a) if that person on the fence for you, Beware! Can be Laodicean Syndrome. Do not let the flame go out by Jesus, this is the time you have posture Christian, repent (Verso19) and get off the fence and go to the inside, where Jesus is waiting for you with open arms, it's time you say yes to Jesus and not to the world and change their talk, their attitudes, because your talk should be yes, yes and no, because anything beyond this is from the evil one (Mt 5:37). He is knocking on the door of your heart, waiting for you to open the door (Verso20), because His desire is to dine with you at your home, in your heart, He wants to fix up your home (heart), He wants give you new clothes, and if you win he will let you sit with Him on His throne (Verso21) on the big day, where He will reign with his Church. If you have ears then hear what the Spirit says to the Church (you, me, us).

Amen!
