THE SEVEN CHURCHES – LESSON 7

PHILADELPHIA

Revelation 3:7-13 tells of Jesus’ words to the sixth of the seven churches which is Philadelphia, often called the “city of brotherly love.” It was named after the king of the former Lydian empire, Attalus II Philadelphus, due to the devoted love for his brother Eumenes. The area was devastated by the 17 A.D. earthquake and 20 more years of severe aftershocks. Caesar Tiberius was generous in his support of rebuilding the area. Scholars believe that the verse 12 reference to a “new name” was about the proposal to rename the city “Neo Caesarea” (New Caesar) in honor of Tiberius. I disagree due to the future eternal context of verse 12.

Jesus had no criticism of Philadelphia. Their works were good. The church had held up in strength and had kept Jesus’ word faithfully despite living in a pagan environment.

Verse 9 speaks of the “synagogue of Satan” which relates to corrupted apostate Jews who will be brought to realize that these Jesus-followers of Philadelphia are the real children of God.

In verse 10 Jesus promises to protect and preserve them in the time of tribulation (hour of temptation) that shall come upon the entire world. This is a prophetic promise for every believer during the end time Great Tribulation.

Those who overcome in the Tribulation (v. 12) will have God’s name written on them and also the name of the New Jerusalem, and a new name from heaven that is yet to be revealed. 

Philadelphia still exists today with a Christian presence even though it is located in the southwestern region of the modern-day Islamic state of Turkey.

Revelation 3:12 speaks to the future glorious state of every believer who is faithful to the end of their earthly life. It is a precious promise.

THORN IN THE FLESH

Paul went before the throne of God and petitioned God three times to remove what he called a thorn in the flesh. So, what was this thorn in the flesh?

Many think it was a physical malady, and with all the beatings and near-death experiences Paul had his body may have suffered with pain. Yet, this was not what the thorn was.

As we read II Corinthians chapter 12, we get some light on it. Paul tells us in verse 7, “And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.”

If you study Galatians, Ephesians, Colossians, and the other epistles (letters) that Paul wrote, you will see that he constantly was dealing with religious leaders that tried to kill him because their “doctrine” of works was being threatened by his teaching of the gospel. This was his thorn. Paul had received tremendous revelation about grace, healing, and so much more that pride could easily creep in. He shows great emotion and anger in some of his writings. 

He declares that God allowed this thorn, or persecution, to come so pride would never take hold of him. This thorn followed him all the way to Rome where he was eventually executed.

Pride is the downfall of man. The scripture tells us this in Proverbs 16:18, “Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.” Paul would have known this scripture because he was a student of “the Word.” 

God did not leave him empty handed. God let Paul know that he would not remove the thorn, but he would give Paul the grace to deal with it because God’s grace is sufficient in our weaknesses. Paul goes on to rejoice when he receives this revelation. It enabled him to continue his call no matter what was said or done to him. He knew that God would be with him even when there were thorns that “irritated” him.

So, what about us? How does this apply to us? Well, we can understand that no matter what comes against us, that God is sufficient to get us through each situation.

In I Corinthians 10:13 Paul writes, “There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer (allow) you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.”

God’s grace is sufficient even when there are thorns!

PROPHETIC WORDS AND EXHORTATIONS

APOSTLE PAT MURRAY

PROPHETIC EXHORTATION

5-10-2022

Have you noticed the abundance of Goliaths in our land today? If so don’t you think it’s time for the real spirit of David to stand up, be counted and be counted on? However, the truth of the matter is there’s too many of the modern day David’s; Who’re now being silenced, shut down, lied on, betrayed, hunted, chased down and ran into the caves of this life and our land. Yes, just as it happened to the beloved David of the Bible still yet today those with the spirit and the anointing of David are experiencing much of the same. Likewise, it doesn’t take long to realize the Saul’s of our day are also acting true to the nature of the infamous Saul of the Bible; For the spirit of Saul is alive and fully operating on planet Earth today; From the Whitehouse to the courthouse, to the schoolhouse,to the workhouse, to the church house and to many homes around us. It’s not too difficult to see these places are now reproducing more Saul’s and yes, Goliath’s that are busy wrecking multiple homes and families. Don’t you think it’s pretty evident that the spirit of Saul is actively at work today with his (or hers) malicious gossip, lies, manipulation and jealousy? I’m sure you know they’re busy trying to search out, bring down, shut up, tear up and totally discredit the true David’s of our time. In the midst of all that’s going on in you, to you, through you and around you; Yes, amid Saul’s lying, boasting,controlling and manipulative ways. I ask, Where are those with the spirit of David in this critical hour? Let’s join in prayer for the real David’s to please stand up; And be prepared to take down the intimidating Goliath’s all around us. Our homes, churches, schools, workplaces and our country needs more David’s to operate in our world today. So pray, seek God’s guidance and His blessings; And in the meantime watch out for the Saul’s and their cohorts the Goliath’s.
