Revelation 3 from Hidden Secrets in Revelation Revealed

by Rose

I'm going through Revelation 3 from my book again. This is what your people need, Lord.

God speaking: Yes, it is. I chose your for a specific purpose. Now that purpose will come to fruition.

You want to publish it on the website. Yes, that is part of what I want you to do for me.

Your wilderness is almost over now.

I am now waiting on you until you find the gems that I want published yet.

Continue on with Revelation 3. Yes, I want it included.

I have my reasons for everything that we do together from now on.

You are closer to starting to recruit than you realize. Then we'll talk about our approach.

I need to help you with that, because you are a NO NAME.

Proceed with due speed now, so that we can proceed to the next step.

Revelation 3 is very important.

I was FEELING GOD'S PRESENCE all the while I was reading about the PHILADELPHIA CHURCH!

The following is a chapter from my book HIDDEN SECRETS IN REVELATION REVEALED.

REVELATION 3

 

OVERVIEW OF CHAPTER 

1. John writes to the church in Sardis

2. John writes to the church in Philadelphia

3. John writes to the church in Laodicea

4. Different stages of the church throughout history

JOHN WRITES TO THE CHURCH IN SARDIS 

Sardis is 30 miles south of Thyatira. It’s the capital of Lydia and one of the oldest and most important cities in Asia. 

An earthquake destroyed the city in 17 A.D. and was rebuilt by Tiberius Caesar. They became financially indebted to Rome, and as a result had to promote emperor worship. That led to eventual compromise by the church.  

Temples of the moon goddess Cybele (Diana) and the sun god Apollo were located in Sardis. These two gods were sister and brother.  

I don’t see anything positive, Lord, other than you had a remnant who remained faithful to you. 

Sardis represents the REFORMATION PERIOD in the history of the church. This covers the time period from 1517 A.D. until approximately 1800 A.D. This period began when Martin Luther nailed his famous ’95 Thesis’ on the door of the chapel of the church in Wittenberg, Germany. 

Things the church needs to improve 

3:1 And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write. These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars. I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead. 2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God. 3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.

When Jesus (he that hath the 7 Spirits of God) returned to heaven after he rose from the grave, he sent the Holy Spirit to earth to be with man. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Jesus.

The church in Sardis was probably very religious. They had their rituals and way of doing things. The bottom line is this. Where is Jesus in all of this?

There is a difference in having a religion and a personal relationship with our Savior. Christ is the life, and if they leave him out, then they are spiritually dead.

That is why John stated that they are ready to die. They have a religion but they are almost dead spiritually. They are not dead yet. There is still a little life left.

What are they to do? They are told to repent. They need the same message that was given to the church of Ephesus. Return to your first love and that is Jesus.

They were told to watch, or Jesus will come as a thief in the night and they won’t be ready.

We never know when we will draw our last breath. Be ready to meet your creator at any time, because we never know when we will leave this earth.

This also sounds like Matthew 25 to me. Half the virgins aren’t ready when Jesus comes for his bride.

Now let’s fast-forward to the time of the Reformation. The Roman Catholic Church was steeped in the same sins as the church of Sardis. It became a religion of ritual, but had little spiritual life left. The little life that they still had was ready to die.  

Emperor worship was replaced by a special reverence for the Pope. Too many times people honored the Pope or their priest more than our Lord. That too can be an idol. 

Could this also relate to the Protestant movement during the Reformation?  

Leaders of the reformation wanted to clean up the sins and corruption in the church. When they couldn’t accomplish that, they broke away and the Reformation began. These people then went to the Bible to search for the will of God.  

These verses could also apply to the Reformation church. Yes, they walked away from many of the false teachings and corrupt practices of the mother church, but they never did get back to the Apostolic church of the 1st century.  

There was a little life left, and that flame grew with the Reformation Church, but what they lacked was the literal presence of the Holy Spirit. They had a religion, but lacked the true life and that is Jesus, the Spirit of Jesus. Man had his way of doing things and was not allowing the Holy Spirit to lead.  

I’m asking for your comments on this, Lord.  

God speaking: You are correct in the fact that both the first century church and the Catholic Institution went through the ritual of religion, but were spiritually dead. What you forgot to mention is that… (long pause) … Are you thinking Lord? Yes I am. I’m just debating whether or not to include certain information in this book at this time… (another long pause) I’ve decided to wait Rose. I have my reasons, and yes I do want you to leave these comments as is and not delete them. I have my reasons for that also.  

This is now later when I am editing this manuscript. Do you have anything more to say about this? If not, then I can simply delete this comment.  

No, leave it, Rose. I now want to comment on this. You opened the door when you added the information about including the denominations.  

The denominations were trying to do my will. They had been too programmed by the way that things were being done back then. They made mega corrections and adjustments. They didn’t go far enough. That is all.  

Their hearts were for me for the most part. What they lacked was my Spirit, because my Spirit is their teacher.

They were trying to figure out what we meant in our Word on their own, and didn’t rely on the teachings of our Spirit. 

That is why there were so many differences of opinions on what our Word truly meant. I am not condemning them for that.  

They did much for my children by breaking away from the Roman Institution, but... like you stated, they never did get back to the way that my original Apostolic Church did things.

That is now where I want my children to go, full circle back to my original church. That is next on the agenda now.

My Spirit will soon return. This will be my 21st century Pentecost that will kick off the final harvest of souls before my Son comes for his bride.

My denominations today are still lacking in many things. They have their agenda. I am knocking and want to come in and lead my children, but they are too structured to allow me to do what I want.

My modern church has now gone in the other direction too far and has literally brought the world into my houses.

I want the enemy kicked out and now, but that won’t happen until I show man what I originally intended.

Then many will come back to me and do things the way that I want them done.

4 Thou hast a few names even in Sardis, which have not defiled their garments, and they shall walk with me in white, for they are worthy.

God always has a remnant. God had many faithful servants during this Reformation Period also. We should be thankful for what men like Luther, Calvin, and Wesley did for our Lord. There were many like them.

God also had a faithful following within the Catholic Institution. Their hearts were right, but they had simply been fed too much FALSE INFORMATION.

Walking in white with Jesus means that they were washed by his blood and made clean.

Religion or a church cannot make you clean. Only the cleansing blood of our Savior can accomplish that.

These are the blessings they will receive if they obey God

5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment, and I will not blot out his name out of the Book of Life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.

These are the people who make it into heaven.

Jesus is the only way that we can get into heaven and the Book of Life. If we leave him out of the equation we are dead spiritually, like the church of Sardis.

You can go through all forms of ritual, but without Christ, you will not be written in the Book of Life.

The only way that we can become part of God’s family is through Jesus. He paid the price for our sins. There is no other way.

When we accept Jesus as our Lord and Master, then he confesses us before Father and the angels.

Jesus is our ONLY MEDIATOR!

I am going to repeat that.

Jesus is our ONLY MEDIATOR!

1 Timothy 2:5

For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.

God speaking: My Son is what gives life. Without him, you are dead spiritually. That is where I wanted you to go.

Didn’t I say that, Lord?

Yes, you did. I wanted it stated twice, and you know what that means from all the messages I gave you over the last few years.

When God states something twice, it is really important and we need to pay special attention to what he says. It’s something like the verily, verily…in the Bible.

I have another question, Lord. It states you will NOT BLOT HIS NAME OUT OF THE BOOK OF LIFE. I can see two possibilities. I thought that our name is written in the Book of Life when we accept your Son as our Lord and Savior.

This statement would have to mean that our name can be removed if we don’t remain faithful or for other reasons. That does away with the ‘once saved always saved’ theory that some believe.

The only other option would be that we all start out with our names written in the Book of Life. Then if we refuse to accept Christ, our names are removed. I don’t agree with that theory.

God speaking: I’m still here, Rose. Yes, that is a good question.

No, you don’t start out with your name in the Book of Life. You are correct. You come into this world as sinners belonging to Satan. You can only come back into my family through my Son.

When you truly commit yourself to him, then your name is written in the Book of Life.

Notice that I said, MAKE A COMMITMENT TO HIM, and not just know who he is. There is a difference.

Even the demons and many of the people in hell know that he is my Son. There is more to it than that.

He must become #1 in your life over Satan.

You must make a commitment to try to get the sin out of your life. If you want to cling to your sins, then you are still clinging to Satan, as he is sin.

I will not allow sin in my Kingdom, so if you refuse to get rid of your sins, then don’t expect to live with me. It’s that simple.

Yes, your name can be removed IF you go back into the world of willful sin.

My Son’s blood does NOT cover willful sin.

It removes any confessed sin. I’m not talking about becoming legalistic and naming every little thing that you do wrong. No! No! No! I see the heart.

I like to keep things simple for my people. I see if you are trying to do what is right and pleasing to me, or if you don’t care what I want and just continue doing your own thing.

I could use a clarification about the following passages then, Lord. This might be where some people come up with the ‘once saved always saved’ belief.

John 10:27-30

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. I and my Father are one. KJV

I do want to comment on this also. This passage has caused much confusion in my body. This is what generally happens.

What did I tell you in some of the messages that you received over the last years? My Word consists of examples only. This is the norm, but there are exceptions.

An example of this would be MY SON HEALING ALL. Yes, he was capable of healing all, but there were some that he chose not to heal.

I’ve told you many times that there are times when my Word shouldn’t be taken quite so literally. I treat all my children differently; therefore, my Word can have a slightly different meaning for some.

I know that some of you will get very upset by these words, because that is not what you have been taught.

Isn’t that what happened with the denominations? They should have asked our Spirit what we meant when we penned those words through our servants. Instead of doing that, they started arguing amongst themselves what we meant.

No man or no institution has all the answers. They are all some right and some wrong.

That is why I sent my Spirit to be your teacher.

He is the only one who knows what we mean.

That is what my Reformation churches lacked. They didn’t allow my Spirit to teach them.

Satan loves it. His goal has always been to keep my body divided, because he knows what could happen if my children would ever unite and become as one.

We now have many denominations with a variety of beliefs. Satan won that battle.

Don’t allow him to continue winning in the future.

Become one, my children, and set aside your differences. You don’t all have to agree on all the facts. If I accept your differences of opinions, then I want you to accept them also.

I don’t make clones, and I don’t want you to either.

You must come through my Son in order to enter my Kingdom, however. That teaching is set in stone, as the world says.

6 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

JOHN WRITES TO THE CHURCH IN PHILADELPHIA

Philadelphia was a missionary church and called the ‘city of brotherly love’. Missionary work in the early church reached as far as India.

Philadelphia is located over 125 miles inland southwest of Sardis and east of Smyrna.

Philadelphia was also almost destroyed by an earthquake in 17 A.D. Emperor Tiberius rebuilt these cities that were destroyed by the earthquake.

Philadelphia became a haven for Christianity when the Muslims invaded Asia Minor in the 14th century A.D.

Today it is called Alashehir.

The church today is persecuted and must go underground.

The Philadelphia Church represents, not only the MISSIONARY CHURCH starting around 1800 A. D., but also God’s ‘true church’ throughout the ages.

God ALWAYS has a remnant who remain faithful to him.

More characteristics of Jesus

7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write. These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth.

The things they are doing good

8 I know thy works. Behold, I have set before thee an open door and no man can shut it. For thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.

Jesus is the head of this church and is given his rightful position. He will open doors for us that no man can shut. He will do this IF we keep his Word and commandments and keep our faith in our Savior Jesus.

God likes to keep things simple for his children. This is a very basic and simple message.

What does our Lord keep telling us? He blesses obedience. He does not bless disobedience.

The bottom line is this. IF we want our Lord’s blessings, then we are to KEEP HIS WORD and NOT DENY HIS NAME.

9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie. Behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.

Most of the Jews still refuse to accept Jesus as their Messiah, but there will come a day when they too will come and worship him. Jesus never gives up on us, and he isn’t giving up on his nation of Israel either.

We can only be allowed to enter God’s Kingdom through Jesus. He paid the price for our sins. Too many Jews still refuse to accept Jesus as their Messiah; therefore, they still belong to Satan.

There is also a class of Jews who claim to be Jews, but are not descendants of Abraham. Read about these Khazar Jews in my book WAKE UP AMERICA-The Plot to Destroy America Revealed.

Our Lord will be sending the 144,000 and 2 witnesses during the Tribulation Period to Israel. Many will finally come and worship at the feet of Jesus.

God speaking: I want to comment on this.

I am a God of second chances, especially when it comes to my nation of Israel. They continue to refuse my Son as their Messiah, but one day will come soon when they will accept the False Prophet. Yes, I said False Prophet. We will get more into this later.

I will never give up on them, however. I will continue to give them chances, after chances, after chances.  

I am doing that for my friend Abraham. I made a covenant with him and his immediate descendants, and I never break my covenants with my people.

I also have a covenant with Rose. That is her new name. I won’t break the covenant that I made with her either.

I would like to make a covenant with many more of you also.

You must seek me, my children. You must seek me. I am not hiding. Seek me with all your heart. Commit your total being to me, and then I too might make a personal covenant with you.

This is different than the covenant I have with all my children who have come to me through my Son. This is a special one-on-one personal covenant.

You are correct, Rose. Not all modern day people who claim to be Jews are descendants of Abraham.

That is another meaning of that verse, but I do not want you to develop that line at this time. That is an order. Leave that one sentence, and that is it.

I want people supporting my nation of Israel, even though there are many modern day Pharisees amongst them.

Just like false teaching entered my apostate church, much false teaching has deceived the people of my nation of Israel. Not all is as it seems.

Go to my original Word, my people, and not the teachings or traditions of the Pharisees. I am God, your only God.

I must be more important and sovereign over your leaders in order for you to enter my Kingdom.

10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.

If you are doing God’s will, then you can expect our enemy Satan to come after you.

God’s angels are conducting spiritual warfare on our behalf in the spirit realm, but Satan also has human agents and demons that he has used throughout history to do his evil work.

The 1st century church suffered persecution at the hands of evil Roman Emperors.

God’s true church fled to the mountains after the monster Roman religious system came into power. At least 68 million people were tortured and killed by the Catholic Inquisition over the years.

It never stops. Christians throughout the world today are still being killed for their faith in Jesus.

Verse 10 seems to be talking about the coming Tribulation Period.

Jesus will come for his bride before the Tribulation Period begins, and will come again for his nation of Israel and other believers at mid-trib. That definitely is KEEPING US FROM THE HOUR OF TEMPTATION.

At mid-trib, the Antichrist will finally become a dictator over the entire world and the Holocaust will begin. God will also pour out his wrath.

God will KEEP HIS PEOPLE FROM THE HOUR OF TEMPTATION ONCE AGAIN. God has prepared a place called Petra, where he will protect his people during the second half of the Tribulation Period.

Yes, God will keep his people from the HOUR OF TEMPTATION.

11 Behold, I come quickly. Hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

No matter what happens, we are to remain faithful to our Lord and not give in to whatever Satan throws at us. This will especially hold true for what is coming during the Tribulation Period and religious inquisition.

If you remain behind after Jesus comes for his bride, never deny our Lord, no matter what happens. If you do, you will belong to Satan.

The horrors that you will be experiencing will be for a short time, but if you spend eternity with Satan, he will be tormenting you forever and ever.

Don’t allow any man to TAKE YOUR CROWN!

There is a simple solution and it is free. Commit yourself to our Lord NOW, so that you aren’t left behind!

These are the blessings to those who obey him

12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out, and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is New Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God, and I will write upon him my new name.

Jesus is referring to eternity now, after the 1000 year Millennium Period. We’ll talk about New Jerusalem later.

We already talked about the white stone and our crown.

13 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

Do you have anything that you want to say about the church of Philadelphia at this time, Lord?

God speaking: Yes, Rose, I do.

This is my true church that has always remained loyal to me and my Son throughout the centuries. They love me and spend time with me. They seek my will and do wonderful things in my name.

Notice that they said, in my name. They give my Son the credit. They have remained humble and seek no glory for themselves. This is my true church.

I always have a remnant. These are the ‘crème of the crop’, so to speak, and they are the ones who will be chosen as a bride for my Son.

This is not supposed to be about religion, but about my Son. That is it.

Man comes along and has turned my church into something that I never intended it to be. That will soon change. There is a restructuring of my church coming, and it is coming very soon now.

I am having Rose write these words on November 13, in the year 2005.

Many of the old man made religious institutions will come down, and I will replace them with many new ministries.

I will call them my end-time army. These will be my 21st century remnant.

They will start out as a remnant, but will rapidly grow into a mighty army for me.

They will no longer be a remnant, but a force to be reckoned with.

Billions of souls will come to my Son in the years ahead.

The church tried it its way for 2,000 years. Now I will do it my way. I will be in charge, and I will give the orders.

This army will reap a huge harvest that will keep coming, and coming, and coming.

When you read this, check out the website listed in this book. Join my army somewhere.

I have special blessings awaiting my end-time army. I have something very special planned in heaven for you. You will be so pleased when you get there. That is all I have to say about this now.

Yes, this is my Philadelphia Church.

I am so very proud of you. I will never forget what you have done and will continue to do for me. I have spoken.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Let me ask you a question. What would you do if somebody kidnapped one of your children?

You’d seek all the help that you could get to help you bring your lost child home. It would become a massive effort by as many of the citizens in your community as you could find to help you.

How would you feel towards these people who helped you, once your child is found? You would be eternally grateful to them.

Don’t you think that our Lord feels the same way?

We are created in his image. That should tell you more about what our Lord is really like.

That is what this harvest is really about, bringing God’s kidnapped children home from Satan’s POW camps.

Now I think you’ll be able to understand why our Lord has rewards in heaven for all those who join his end-time army and help him bring in this massive harvest of souls.

Our Lord told us in the last chapter that we will receive rewards for everything that we do for him on this earth.

That includes rewards for helping bring his lost children home during the harvest.

I have a feeling that these rewards aren’t going to be some little trinkets, but something very special.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

The following is a message I received from our Lord on January 8, 2006

A message from God to his Philadelphia Church

God speaking: Let’s now talk about my Philadelphia church, my true church.

I love you so. You have been so faithful to me. Many of the Laodicean Church will think I am talking about them, but no, I am not.

Is your ministry big business? Have you set yourself up as a king over your territory? Have you taken my tithes for yourself? Is your ministry more important than I am? Am I telling you what to do, or are you just setting your own goals?

I want to be in charge of all ministries and churches and I am not.

I can’t even enter most of them, let alone be in charge of what is said and done.

I always have a remnant, and these are the people I am soon calling forth to begin my end-time army. They will come from the 4 corners of the world.

The final race for the souls of man

Get ready, America. Get ready for something that you have never, and I repeat, never experienced before.

The WINDS have now come in the physical. I will now send my Word in the spiritual.

He is waiting at the gate, waiting for the gates to be opened. Yes, this is referring to the starting gate of a horse race now, when the final race for the souls of mankind will officially begin.

The rider of the lead horse is my Son Jesus. The Holy Spirit goes before him, preparing the way, getting rid of all competition.

There is no contest! My Son will win!

Satan’s horses will finally make it to the end, but my Son will arrive at the victory table first.

You are wondering about that term. That is what I chose to use. That is all.

My Son will receive a crown, a gold victor's crown, not only for completing the race but for winning it also.

My army will ride directly behind him. There will be crowns for these riders also.

The power of my Spirit, the WIND, will carry them to the finish. We win! We will all win!

There will be no contest, as all of Satan’s riders will be left far behind. They’ll finally come straggling in, but by that time, we will have exited the scene.

Yes, this is the final race to the day when my Son brings his church home.

Horse races last but a moment. This harvest will also be a quick work, a very quick work.

We are now at the starting gate, waiting for my Spirit to come. When he does, the gates will finally open and the race will begin.

That is what is coming to my Philadelphia Church, my true church.

You will be my army.

The role of the Laodicean Church in the race

Many of the Laodicean Church have also entered the race.

They think that they are on the right team, but it won’t take long for them to realize that they are not part of this coming move of my Spirit.

They will not be included and will have to proceed with their own power or the power of the enemy.

I am through playing games with man.

My church is in such sad shape. Too many of them don’t even realize that they are doing anything wrong, because everybody else is doing it.

More about the Philadelphia Church

No, my people, no! Not everybody.

I always have a remnant. I always have my Philadelphia Church, my true church.

They will soon rise on the scene, but people won’t know who most of these people are.

People will wonder where they come from.

They will seek no recognition for themselves, but will give my Son all the honor and all the glory. That is what I want.

I will have crowns for these people, but these crowns will be unique from all previous crowns listed.

These crowns will be one of the greatest honors that can be presented to my Son on that day. You are his bride, my church.

My Philadelphia Church is my Son’s bride.

The sad part is that you are presently small in number.

That is why we must run that race and get as many to join you as possible.

That is what is coming and what could be coming any time now. We must get started.

The enemy is also at the starting gate, waiting to make his move. We must get started. We must finally get started.

Come out of the Laodicean Church and join God's Philadelphia Church

What will you do, my church? What will you do?

Forget the traditions of man and join my army.

Come out of the Laodicean Church and join my true church, my Philadelphia Church.

I’m not talking about another denomination now.

There are no walls in my true church. We are one.

You either enter into my family through my Son or you remain behind. That is it.

I never once said you had to belong to a certain denomination to be accepted into my Kingdom.

Don’t you people have brains? Don’t you read your Bibles? Show me one place where I said anything about belonging to a certain denomination! I never created them. They are the creation of man.

I’m giving you a few more things to think about.

Globalism

Satan’s agents are promoting globalism. I am also, but in a different sense.

They want to make slaves of all people and put shackles around them.

I am coming to set you free from your enemy Satan and his agents who will soon rule the world.  

I have spoken these words through my prophet on this 8th day of January in the year 2006 at 2:30 A.M.

JOHN WRITES TO THE CHURCH IN LAODICEA

Laodicea is located about 50 miles southeast of Philadelphia. It was located at the junction of several important routes. When the Roman province of Asia was formed in 190 B.C., it became a very wealthy center of industry.

This city was almost destroyed by an earthquake in 60 A.D. They were wealthy and rebuilt the city at their own expense, and as a result were not beholden to the Romans for financing it.

Laodicea represents a lukewarm materialistic church.

Laodicea represents OUR MODERN MATERIALISTIC CHURCH!

A few more characteristics about Jesus

14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write. These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God.

How God feels about being lukewarm  

15. I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot. I would thou wert cold or hot.

16. So then, because thou are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot,

I will spew thee out of my mouth! 

That's a pretty heavy statement!!!

You cannot serve two masters. You must choose.

Lukewarm Christians straddle the fence, so to speak. They believe in Jesus but don’t totally commit themselves to our Lord. They still have one foot in the world.

The Bible says we are to come out of the world. They might go to church on Sunday, but spend the week back in the world of sin.

The modern church has now gone one step further. They have brought the world into God’s churches, and that is making him very angry.

You must choose which God you will serve. You can’t have it both ways. You must choose.

The Laodicean Church is a materialistic church and is representative of much of our modern day church.

Money and prestige have become gods in too many cases.

God is sending warnings to this church through messages on the WFC website.

Our Lord also said that the lukewarm WILL NOT be chosen as a bride of Christ and will have to go through part of the Tribulation Period.

Make a true commitment to our Lord, people. This is not about going to a church, jumping around a little, and saying a few Amens.

This is about having a personal relationship with our Lord!

That is a requirement in order for you to be chosen as a bride!

17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked.

This church is rich in material things, but they are lacking what really is important.

What they lack is a love for our Lord and having a personal relationship with him.

Our Lord keeps telling us to love him and love one another.

Does the modern church love SELF more than our Lord or others?

You can be RICH ON THE OUTSIDE, but WRETCHED, MISERABLE, POOR, BLIND, AND NAKED on the inside.

God speaking: I want to comment on this one, Rose. Yes, my church in America is very wealthy. You have taken my tithes and spent them on things that I never intended them to be spent on.

Materialism and the ways of the world have entered my Church, and I don’t like it.

How many of you are helping the poor or those who need help in your congregations? I’m not talking about a welfare situation now, where people are too lazy to work. I am talking about the real problems that my people have.

You are to take care of my people, pastors, and too many of you are only looking out for your personal goals and how much money is coming in every week.

Do you even know the names of the people sitting in your pews? If you don’t, then you are not doing the job that you are called to do. This is not about how much money is coming into the collection plate, how fancy a car you drive, and the size of your mansion.

What are you doing for my children? That is your job. Your job is to take care of my children, and not have my children take care of you.

Some of you have set yourselves up as little gods, and when the service is over exit as fast as you can so these people won’t bother you. You are too important for that!

No! No! No! That is not what I intended my church to become. That is not the role of a pastor.

Feed my flock, pastors. Feed my flock. Get to know their names and the names of the people in their families. Get to know them. That is an order!

Then I want you to love them. You are my representative on earth. I love my children and when they come to you, I want them to see my love through you. That is an order!

This is not about you, pastors. This is about my Son. He is the only one who should be revered and honored in your services. If you are not doing that, then you are not in my will. I have spoken.

I do want to throw some of these things in, because only a percentage of my people and pastors will read the material on the website. Sometimes they probably won’t be related to the scripture that was just read. That’s ok. I am God and can do anything that I choose to do. I have spoken.

I received the following on February 14, 2008.

God speaking: Now I come again to my modern Laodicean Church. You remind me of the Pharisees, people. I have much against you.

You are leading too many of my children down the wrong road, and even to eternal damnation in too many cases.

You continue to parade around with all your pomp, as if nothing is wrong. You want to be revered as a god. No, my gatekeepers, no!

My Son is the only God, and if you try to take his place, that makes me very angry.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

The following is another message pertaining to the modern materialistic Laodicean church.

God speaking: I’m going to make a couple comments about my Laodicean Church. That is what my present church has become. It has become big business in too many cases.

The ministries, including denominations, have become super wealthy in too many cases and the leaders parade around in their finest garments, and display their accumulated wealth in a proud fashion.

I am no longer their God. Other gods have replaced me.

This quest for wealth and prestige has gotten totally out of hand.

The wealth of the Catholic Church and many denominations is almost beyond calculating.

I want the money coming into all ministries to be used to reaching the lost of the world, then educating them, and then sending them out to bring in more of the harvest.

That is what my end-time army will do for me.

I want to be number one in my church, and as of now, I am not in most cases.

You go through the rituals and motions, but I see the motivation of the leaders in charge of these ministries.

My Son is coming for a pure and holy church, and as of today, that is not what he would get.

I always have a remnant, however. What is happening is that people who have a pure heart enter ministry to serve me. Then, it doesn’t take long before they get caught up in the glitz and glitter of my modern day Laodicean Church.

Yes, you are rich in materialistic things, but you are poor and wretched in the spiritual things that really matter. You say the words, but I see your hearts. They are not in it.

I have said enough about that at this time. Check the website for more information pertaining to this subject.

Turn around before it is too late.

If my Son would come today, too many of you would be left behind, and that also includes many of my preachers.

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 clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.

What happens when gold is heated? The dross or impurities (sins) rise to the surface and you can then get rid of them. What remains is pure gold.

The problem is this.

The Holy Spirit gets the dross stirred up and gets it to rise to the surface, but then too many people cling to it and refuse to get rid of it.

White raiment represents purity. It’s only the blood of our Savior that can get rid of our sins.

We then need to hop up on that potter’s wheel and allow the Holy Spirit to transform us into a vessel of beauty.

Our Lord will soon come to earth for a pure and holy bride. As of now the church is NOT pure and holy.

Do something about it now, before it is too late and you are left behind.

Could clothed and the shame of your nakedness doesn’t appear refer to being covered with the blood of Jesus, that your sins are no longer there?

Willful sin can get you get you outside of God’s grace. We need to stay within his grace to BE CLOTHED WITH THE BLOOD OF CHRIST SO THAT THE SHAME OF OUR NAKEDNESS DOES NOT APPEAR.

Does ANOINT THINE EYES WITH EYE SALVE THAT THOU MAYEST SEE refer to removing everything that is blinding us from seeing the truth, Lord?

Satan has barriers around all his captives preventing them from receiving the Gospel.

Prayer is what breaks through these barriers and allows the Holy Spirit to enter and draw these people to Jesus.

Does anointing the eyes with eye salve refer to the anointing of the Holy Spirit?

God speaking: Once you come to me through my Son, then the purification process should begin.

You come to me as a baby Christian, and will mess up a lot in the beginning, but that is not where you should stay.

You should then be on a journey to become as much like my Son as you can.

That is where our Spirit comes in.

He is the one who must bring the dross to the surface, because he is the only who can look into your hearts.

My children must be cooperative however, or this cleansing will not take place.

This now becomes a team effort. My Spirit will do his part, but then you also need to cooperate with him and do whatever you can to get one step closer to me in the Holiest of Holies (the Most Holy Place).

The fire is to get rid of the dross, and the potter’s wheel is to mold you into a vessel of beauty.

It’s somewhat like a 1-2 punch.

Then my Spirit needs to fill you with the characteristics of my Son. That is what he does when you hop up on that potter’s wheel.

Become as much like my Son as you can, my children.

My desire is that all my children would be allowed to enter the Holiest of Holies (referring to the Jewish Tabernacle or Temple), but that is not what is happening, because most of my children want to cling to the ways of man.

My ways are not man’s ways, and man’s ways are not my ways.

Come to me, my children. Salvation is meant to be only the first step.

Yes, Rose, you are somewhat correct about the salve. That is part of the salvation process.

After you come to my Son and are allowed in my house, then the purification process should begin. You cannot do it on your own. You need our Spirit to work with you on this.

I don’t want my children to get into legalism now, with a long list of do’s and don’ts. My Son set you free from legalism.

Now allow my Spirit to work on your hearts. Learn to submit to his leadings. Allow him to work through you. He wants to make you into an image of my Son.

Then, and only then, will some of you be allowed to enter into the Holiest of Holies where I reside.

All my children should at least enter the Middle Court.

The Outer Court is meant only for baby Christians, but that is where most of my modern Laodicean Church has remained.

Many of you are even outside the Gate, and you don’t realize it.

If you cannot walk away from your sins, then you are still outside the Gate and still belong to Satan.

That is why I hate lukewarm so much. I am losing too many of my lukewarm children to Satan.

You try to serve both Satan and my Son. No!

You must choose. It’s one or the other. I will not cohabit with Satan. I have spoken.

19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Be zealous therefore, and repent.

That is the reason my judgment is coming. I am doing that to get your attention, so that you turn around and don’t miss becoming a bride for my Son.

I love each one of you dearly, but yes, now is the time to turn around and repent of your gross sins.

All parents need to discipline their children at times.

God loves all of us very much. His discipline is meant to steer us in the direction that will be best for us.

There is that word REPENT again. That means to change direction and turn around. That means that we need to get on the road that our Lord wants us on. Is that the road that the modern Laodicean Church is on?

We can’t live perfect lives. God understands that. That is where his grace comes in.

There are limits to that grace, however.

Willful sin and rebellion don’t fall within those parameters. That is when discipline or even judgment is required.

Be glad that our Lord takes time out of his busy schedule to rebuke and chasten us. That means that he loves us.

God told us in one of his messages that he has a salvation grace and a different grace for becoming a bride. The parameter for allowable sins is much larger for salvation than being chosen as a bride.

20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock. If any man hears my voice, and opens the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

Can’t you just see Jesus standing in front of you with open arms, waiting for you to come to him?

This is Jesus speaking now. I’m glad you brought that up, Rose, because that is literally what I do. I don’t force myself on any of you. I am waiting, however. I am waiting for you with open arms to come to me.

I love you. I want you to become my bride, but you must come to me. I am not here to judge you.

Look at my hands, my feet, and my side. The scars are still there. I paid the price for your sins. When you come to me, they will be removed.

Then we can enter my Father’s house together.

I must present you, however. You must come through me. I will show him the scars on my body, and he will accept them as payment for your sins. Then you will become pure and holy. No, you can’t become pure and holy on your own. I must do that for you.

There is a catch, however. You can’t bring your old sins with you. You must leave them behind. They are not allowed to enter in and pollute my Father’s clean house.

If you still cling to your sins, you are still clinging to Satan.

This is what will happen in the near future.

Our Father will scan the entire earth. He will pick and choose the people who have a personal relationship with me. He sees the heart. That is it.

He is not looking for the rich and famous, those who have big ministries or the most degrees. He is looking at your hearts.

Do you love me? That is the number one thing that he is looking for. Do you love me and want to spend time with me?

He’s not looking for people with perfect church attendance or who donate the most money.

He is looking for people who love me and have a personal relationship with me.

He is also looking to see if you are carrying a lot of baggage. If you are chained to suitcases filled with sin, then you will not be able to pass through the security checks. Suitcases full of sin won’t be allowed to enter through the pearly gates of heaven. Yes, these gates are gigantic pearls.

The suitcases of sin are not allowed to enter, so if you are still chained to them, then you will have to stay outside with them.

Outside the pearly gates is Satan’s territory. If you still belong to him, then you will also have to go through at least part of the Tribulation Period and possibly eternity with him.

That is not what I want your future to be. That is why I am standing here with open arms.

Come to me. Come to me, so that I can present you to my Father and we can enter through those pearly gates together.

Love me. Spend time with me one-on-one, and maybe my Father will choose you to become my bride.

I love each one of you dearly. I do stand here with open arms, waiting for you to come home. Come to me while you still have time. One day it will be too late.

That was beautiful, Lord. There is nothing that I can say that can top that.

21 To him that overcometh 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.

God speaking: I am a God of second chances. Come to me. Repent of your sins and I will forgive you. Turn around while you still have time.

I want to have a personal relationship with each one of my children. That is what I yearn for.

We are a family and I am your Father.

Come to my Son. Sup with him. Spend time with him one-on-one. Learn to love him as he loves you. Get to know him personally.

Then you too can be chosen as a bride for my Son.

You now have a religion. I hate religion. I created man to have a family. That is what I want.

My Son stands at the door and knocks. Come to him while you still have time.

Don’t be left behind, my children!

Don’t be left behind!

22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

A RECAP OF DIFFERENT STAGES OF THE CHURCH THROUGHOUT HISTORY

John wrote these letters to these 7 representative churches that existed in his day. The following is a recap how they also relate to different stages of the church throughout history.

Ephesus represents the early apostolic church.

Smyrna represents the early church under Roman persecution.

Pergamos represents the development of priestly hierarchy and Catholicism that replaced the 5-fold ministry that Christ gave his church.

Pergamos was the center of emperor worship and home of numerous pagan gods. It was the seat of Satan, one of his strongholds.

This is what happened when Constantine made Christianity a legal religion.

This new church became a merger of the Christian religion and the old pagan religions. These people didn’t leave their gods behind. They brought them into the church and gave them new names. The pagan gods were renamed Saint so-and-so, and the worship of the Babylonian Queen Semiramis and her Son Tammuz became Mary worship.

It was almost like two vines growing together, side-by-side. They were interweaving with one another until you could no longer tell the truth from the lies.

A priestly hierarchy replaced the 5-fold ministry that Jesus gave his church.

Emperor worship during the early church times was replaced by a special reverence for the Pope. Too many times this person became more important to people than Jesus himself.

Jesus was no longer the head of his church. Man replaced him.

Many of the old pagan practices also entered the church.

Thyatira represents the church of the Dark Ages and up until the time of the Reformation.

The spirit of Jezebel led the people into false doctrine, idolatry, and immorality. If you read the history of the church during this time, you will have to agree that these things were happening. Immorality was at a low, even amongst the Popes and church leaders.

Just because you are part of this system, however, doesn’t mean that you are a lost soul. It is hard for people to be saved, however, because of all the man-made and pagan practices that exist.

God does have many loyal servants in the system, but in general, too many are lost souls and on their way to eternal damnation.

You can only come back into God’s family through Jesus. There is no other way. You must make Jesus your Lord and not your church, your Pope, or even your priest.

Jesus must be number one over these. If he is not, then even your salvation is in jeopardy.

I want to add an important fact. Jesus paid the price for our sins on the cross. The price has been paid once and for all.

It is finished! It’s a done deal!

The Veil has come down!

Please do not continue to crucify our Lord, people! The price has already been paid for our sins. It’s a done deal!!!

You can’t earn your way into heaven. You can’t buy your way into heaven. Your church can’t get you through those pearly gates into heaven, and your Pope, priest, or other religious leader can’t either.

Only the blood of Jesus can wash away your sins. It is only through Jesus that you can enter God’s Kingdom. It’s only through Jesus. There is no other way.

We also need to get on the same page when we talk about Jesus. I know what Jesus I’m talking about. What Jesus are you talking about?

My Jesus is God Almighty, the creator of the universe.

Get out your Bibles and read it for yourselves. It’s all in there.

Yes, I will get criticized for writing these things, but if only one person turns around and gets saved because of them, then it is worth all the criticism I am almost guaranteed to receive.

It’s your soul. Where will you spend eternity? Don’t take a chance of following the wrong teaching. The consequences are much too great.

Don’t trust man. Trust God. Believe what he says and not what man is telling you.

Verify what you have been taught with the Bible. Then you need to make sure that you have the original Bible, and not one that changes words to fit a particular doctrine.

Satan is the master of deceit, and he uses God’s people as much as he can to do his dirty work for him.

Sardis represents the church of the Reformation period.

Jesus speaking: I want to comment on this one, Rose. Yes, this does represent the church during the Reformation Period as you stated, but there is more.

You have no clue as to where I am going this time. I want the previous comments left as is pertaining to this church.

Many of your forefathers saw the sins of the existing church and tried to do something about them. Their hearts were pure for the most part.

I am talking about the founders of many of the modern day Protestant churches. Their motives were pure back then. I saw what they did and will be eternally grateful for what they did for me.

These churches didn’t remain pure, however.

Traditions of man have crept in.

What many of these denominations are today is not what your forefathers meant them to be. Traditions of man entered in. You have now set yourselves up as little kingdoms.

‘I am right and you are wrong’ has become a theme. The problem is that all of you are only some right and a lot wrong.

Quit judging one another and find out what I want.

Not one of you has given your life for your fellow man. I have.

Where are the stripes on your body? Where are the scars, as a reminder of the excruciating pain that I went through for each one of you, on your bodies? Where are those scars, my church? Where are those scars?

Only I gave my life for you. Not one of you has done that for your fellow man.

I am very angry at what my church has become. You are no better than the Pharisees of old.

Traditions of man entered my nation of Israel, and they have also entered my church. Get rid of them.

I need to be the number one reason that you meet! Am I? I think not.

You have your agendas and rituals, and not even the Son of God is allowed to enter and interfere with that. Yes, I am angry, very angry.

Woe to you, my church! Woe to you!

There is a restructuring of my church coming. It has already started as I send these words to you. Woe to you!

Either you repent of your gross sins and turn around, or I will literally walk away from you. I can do that.

I have been standing on the outside waiting for you to ask me into your services, but you refuse. I have been waiting, but I will no longer wait outside your doors.

I will be leaving many of you now. I will spend my time with my true church, my Philadelphia Church. They love me and have made me #1 in their lives. They are the ones who will be chosen as my bride.

(Insert)

Lord, I'm asking for clarification about your words 'leaving many of you now'. I don't think you meant it the way many of your children will interpret it.

You are correct, Rose. Many would misinterpret those words, but I want you to leave them. I'm not talking about salvation now. My Spirit won't exit your spirit either.

I am talking about spending my time with my children who are doing my will. They will be on my priority list, so to speak.  

(End of insert)

Your churches won’t empty out when I come for my bride. There will be a few who will be chosen, but the majority of you will remain behind.

If you want a religion over me, that is what you will get.

Either ask me to enter your services and make me the #1 God in your lives or I will exit your church.

You want to be in control of your destiny. Fine! That is what you will get.

I am asking my children to come out of you, however. I want all my children to go where I am #1, because it is only through me that you can enter my Father’s house, only through me.

You are either for me or against me, my church.

If you are not promoting me, then you are against me.

Religion will not get you into my Father’s house. You need to come through me.

I have spoken these words to you on this 14th day of January in the year 2006.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Philadelphia represents the ‘true church’ of all ages.

Laodicia represents the modern lukewarm materialistic church.

The following is a message I received from our Lord pertaining to his modern Laodicean materialistic church. He wants this message in this book and also on the website.

God speaking: I commend you for your tenacity and your drive and endurance. These are some things I have against you, however.

You too have lost your first love. You love yourselves more than me. That is putting other gods before me. You have set yourselves up as little kings over your little kingdoms.

Those kingdoms are gone now.

There is a restructuring of my church now taking place. It might take a while for the manifestation to actually occur in your case, but as of today, many of your kingdoms will start to decrease and others will begin to increase.

Today is the day when I officially begin my judgment on my church. There have been isolated cases here and there, but now is the time when I need to get the attention of my church.

You have gone the ways of the world. You have become rich financially, but you are poor in spirit and in love. I am not only talking about losing the love for my Son, but for one another also.

Too many of you pastors, and I am not even going to call you MY pastors. Too many of you pastors have sold your soul to the enemy for the sake of wealth and prestige.

You have a little clique, my church, and people are selling their souls to join it.

TV gives you the glory that you crave for. How many stations are you on? I am on more is a feather in your hat. My kingdom is bigger than your kingdom. My mansion is bigger than your mansion.

The programming has become a show. You are entertaining my children so that they turn you on, and of course send in some money.

The world is looking in disgust as to what my church has become.

I have my true servants, but they don’t fit into this clique. They don’t take my tithes and put them in their own pockets.

As a result, their clothes are plain. Their homes are average and they are thankful for a decent car that gets them from point A to point B.

I always have my true servants, but these are not the ones that the world sees.

Start watching the media. The things many of you do will become exposed to the media. Satan uses my people to do his dirty work for him in many cases.

I will now counter attack and remove my protective hand and allow the enemy to attack many of you.

Just what was I protecting, my church? What the world sees is not what I want my church to be. These are harsh words, but words that need to be spoken.

I am now raising up many new ministries. They have been waiting in the wings, waiting for the word from me to say GO! I will then pour out my Spirit on a small group of people and the harvest will officially begin in America. I have spoken.

The walls are coming down, my church. You want walls. Then you can stay alone behind your walls. It will get rather lonely for some of you.

Nobody or ministry will be exempt from my judgment!

I will do whatever is necessary to prepare a pure and holy bride for my Son!

I have spoken. I am doing this out of love.

I don’t want any of you to remain behind, but as of today...

If my Son would come today, not that many of you would be chosen as his bride!  

I love humility and hate pride.

My church has become rich and proud. You are so puffed up in yourselves that you have lost your true mission, and that is to take care of my children.

This is role reversal that is taking place.

You are having my children take care of you, giving my tithes into your coffers so that you can become very wealthy and fat. By fat, I don’t mean in the physical sense, but in the purse.

I want my money spent to bring in the harvest and not to set my church up as kings over their little kingdoms.

Those walls are coming down.

There will be no more kingdoms, only one, and that will be my Son’s Kingdom. He is the only one who deserves the honor and the glory.

Did any one of you give your life for your fellowman and go through what he did to take away the sins of mankind? No, you didn’t. You only love yourself!

What is the greatest commandment? It is to love me and love one another. It didn’t say love thy self. Reread that.

I have spoken. The manifestation of these words now begins.

Watch the news media for isolated cases. These too are birth pains of the return of my Son.

The cleansing has now begun. You can do it with or without my help, but it will be done. Those of you who refuse to be cleansed will simply be removed from your position.

You want your ministries. Fine! You can have them.

You can continue to hold onto these pieces of paper and those titles.

That is fine, but my tithes will no longer be spent to support your greed.

I will do whatever is necessary to get you to turn around. Those of you who refuse to obey me will be left behind when my Son comes.

Then, you will have to go through the coming Inquisition when you will be asked to deny my Son or be tortured and eventually killed.

Is that what you want, my church? Is that what you want? I think not!

My judgment stage has now begun.

Now is the time to turn around, my church. Now is the time.

Yes, Rose. I do want this in the book.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Our Lord loves us very much, people. He doesn't want even one of us to spend eternity with Satan or have to go through the coming Tribulation Period.

I might be risking my life to bring this information to you. I definitely won't win a popularity contest by telling you these things.

This is about SOULS, SOULS, and more SOULS. That is what is important!

I have and had many dear friends who are Catholics. Some are saved and some are not. Those who are saved probably won't be chosen as a bride and will then be required to deny our Lord when the Religious Inquisition begins.

Will you deny our Lord when that happens? If you do, then you will have to spend eternity with Satan and his demons. You don't want to go there. You definitely don't want to go there.

I'm NOT starting a bashing campaign against this Institution. I am just bringing forth some food for thought for those of you who are in this religious system.

Seek God's will in what you should do in the days ahead. Never forget how much he loves you.

Those same words can also be said for the modern Laodicean Church and other denominations.

Our Lord said that most of his church is still in the Outer Court and would not be chosen as a bride. That is sad.

If you have not read my book GO FOR THE GOLD, please do.

There is so much more that our Lord wants for us than is being taught in churches today.
