THE SEVEN CHURCHES – LESSON 5

THATIRA

Thyatira (Revelation 2:18-29) was an inland city that was located on a great Roman highway located between two river valleys. It was a center of commerce with many trade guilds (forerunners of our trade unions). It served over several centuries as a location for a garrison of Roman soldiers. This corresponded to an Anatolian deity armed with a battle axe. The city also had (like Ephesus) a magnificent Temple of the pagan god Artemis (Diana).

Thyatira was also the home of Lydia whom Paul encountered in Macedonia at Philippi. Lydia was a seller of purple who Pastored the first Philippian church at her house. Jesus complimented this church in verse 19 on their works, their love, service, faith, and patience. He was especially proud of their works which were now greater than they were in its early years.

He was, however, highly critical of them for allowing “that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach.” (Verse 20.) This led many she taught into the sexual sin of fornication. (Sex without marriage.) She also promoted the meat offered to idols as being good food for the church, just like Pergamos (Pergamum) had done. Jesus said he would cast her and her followers into great tribulation, even to death. Only repentance could save them. Repentance from what? From sexual sin of all kinds.

We today often encounter the powerful and seductive demon spirit of Jezebel, who takes its name from King Ahab’s evil queen. Yes, all demons, including Jezebel, are male, but how does he operate? 

Jezebel is frequently found in churches with the purpose of dividing the church and destroying its leadership. Jezebel comes in like a “wolf in sheep’s clothing” appearing to be good. It often slips into leadership or teaching positions. He is so convincing that many in the church gravitate toward the person with this spirit as their real leader. Rumors are started about the leadership designed to bring them down. It is a well-hidden spirit, but very strong and quite subtle and divisive.

Jezebel is also about control. This spirit can also be found in individuals as a controlling spirit. It is often only discovered in churches or individuals by discernment from Holy Spirit. It is one of the strongest of demons.

Jesus made a promise to the overcomers who maintained His works in Thyatira in verses 26-28, “To him will I give power over the nations.” This is presumably in the millennial kingdom. Jesus also said He would give them the “morning star” which is Jesus Himself. It’s a great reward as they will rule and reign as one with Jesus. This shows us that for the overcomer, heaven is only a temporary home. God has far greater plans than just heaven for us (wonderful that it is) for our eternal future, where we shall reign as Kings and Priests (priestly Kings) with Him.

GOD’S HATE LIST

In Proverbs 6:16-19 it lists the seven things that God hates. Included in this list are feet that be swift in running to mischief and a false witness that speaketh lies. 

God hates gossip. Some people cannot wait to share the “dirt” on someone even if what they are sharing is not true. It seems to give them power. 

Years ago, we had moved from the city I am in now and moved to the Orlando area. One day I got a letter from someone telling me about the “sins” of my former Pastor. None of what this person said was true. It was all hearsay and gossip. Sadly, these lies being spread came from someone that worked in a different ministry. I called this individual and told them it was not true, and the false information should not be passed about. Sadly, it did no good. It ruined this Pastor’s reputation because of feet that were swift to mischief spreading lies.

You will notice in that list it does not talk about drunkenness, although God is against being drunk. You will also notice it does not talk about prostitution, but God is against that also. You see, each thing in that list represents small things that are big in God’s eyes. 

It mentions a “proud look.” I see that as someone looking down on someone else that has less than themselves. God hates that.  Then it speaks of a lying tongue. How many lies does it take to make a liar? Only one. God hates it when we even tell a “half-truth” because it is still a lie.

Then there is the heart that devises wicked imaginations. This person can become a reprobate if they continue with this. The evil things that are happening in the world right now are so beyond what I could have ever imagined, because someone listened to Satan as he poured evil thoughts into them and they fell for his trap, manifesting it in the natural.

Then there are hands that shed innocent blood. Now most think of that as being someone killing someone, but it goes beyond that. Innocent blood is being shed every day when a baby in the womb (innocent unborn child) is aborted. God hates it. If one repents then there is no condemnation, but a nation that supports full-term and beyond abortion will be judged by God since it is one of the things that he hates and calls an abomination.

Then there is the one that sows discord among the brethren. You know this type. No matter what you do they are going to oppose it. You say look, it is sunny, and they will say they see clouds. They are always trying to agitate situations. They never follow leadership. They think they know more than the Pastor and others. God hates that kind of situation. If you have done this, then repent before he judges you for it.

Someone left our church years ago when these verses were preached upon because they said that God could not hate anything. Yet here it is plain as can be right in the scriptures. We need to take these four verses to heart and never be found doing anything that God hates. 

Yes, God hates. He hates sin. Yes, he loves the sinner, but loves that sinner enough to judge them with the purpose of bringing them to repentance. How sad it would be to stand before God and be judged for being a gossip. Sadder yet is the one doing it that knows better.

PROPHETIC WORDS AND EXHORTATIONS

APOSTLE PAT MURRAY

PROPHETIC EXHORTATION

Just imagine David out in the pasture alone and far away from everyone and everything. On the surface it appeared as if he didn’t have a lot going for him. No, it didn’t look as if David had a prestigious career going on at all; Instead he had the menial job of tending to a bunch of stinking sheep. Oh, but David had something much bigger on his mind. For you see he had a dream and he knew in his heart that he was destined by God to do something great. In all reality David was destined for the throne; And no doubt he’d daydream about it when he was out there alone waiting on God to move on his behalf. I’m sure there were times when David would sit back and do some heavy thinking about where he WAS…And where he knew in his heart that he SHOULD be. I can almost hear David saying to the sheep which was his only audience; Don’t judge me yet dudes. Just because THIS is what I'm IN...Does NOT mean THIS is what’s IN me. Today I wonder how many others are fighting off those same kind of feelings? Whether you’d admit it or not; I'm sure we’ve all had similar feelings at some point in time. However, there in the heat of your battle wherever you are and whatever you’re going through; I dare you to be a David and just begin praising God where you ARE... While on the way to where you’re GOING! Now...Decree it...Believe it...Receive it...And walk it on out in Jesus Name!
