Rev 4:5
And out of the throne preceded lightings and thundering’s and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.
The next thing I think needs to really be brought in to our consideration when it comes to living our lives.
The seven Spirits of God; they are Faith, Hope, Love, wisdom, righteousness, judgement, and knowledge
We are told that the spirit of the Living God dewless in us it was given to us at the time we surrendered to Jesus and asked Him to forgive us, From that time forth we are to be living in the realm of the seven Spirits of God and our lives should at all times shine forth the attributes of the seven Spirits of God
Faith: our faith should be at all times in the Lord Not in this world or the things of this world
Hope: our hope should be grounded in Christ Jesus, Not in anyone, or anything in or of this world
Love: Our love should be as that of our Lord so that everyone we are around we are a blessing to and not a curse, ready to lay down our live for theirs.
Righteousness: if we are in Christ and He is in us and the Spirit of God is in us, and we have the spirit of Righteousness our lives should shin forth with Virtue, Morality Justice, Decency, Uprightness, Rectitude, Honesty, and Blameless
Judgement: the spirit of judgment in us is not a judgement of salvation, it I a judgment of the works of a man, the fruits his life produces.
Wisdom: the wisdom we should be running on is the wisdom of God not man, we are told to not be conformed to this world but to be life by the words of God which came from Christ Jesus
Knowledge: the Spirit of knowledge does not come from a school, it is not something you can learn it; it is a knowledge (understanding and knowing) that comes from God Him self
Are these attributes present in your life, your daily walk?
i know a lot more can and has been said about this, but for now i want to keep it simple, will say more latter.

The kingdom of God (1)
¶ Matthew 25:31 – 3
When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then will he sit upon the throne of his glory: And before him will be gathered all nations: and he will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats: And he will set the sheep on his right hand, and the goats on the left. Them will the King say to them on his right hand, Come, you blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: For I was hungry, and you gave me meat: I was thirsty, and you gave me drink: I was a stranger, and you took me in: naked, and you clothed me: I was sick, and you visited me: I was in prison, and you came to me.
¶ Matthew 25:37 - 40
Then will the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when did we see you hungry, and fed you? or thirsty, and gave you drink? When did we see you as a stranger, and took you in? or naked, and clothed you? Or when did we see you sick, or in prison, and came to you? And the King will answer and say to them, Verily I say to you, Inasmuch as you have done it to one of the least of these my brethren, you have done it unto me.
¶ Matthew25:41 – 43 Then will he say also to them on the left hand, Depart from me, you are cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: For I was hungry, and you gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and you gave me no drink: I was a stranger, and you did not take me in: naked, and you would not give me cloths: sick, and in prison, and you did not visited me.
¶ Matthew 25:44 – 46 Then will they also answer him, saying, Lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister to you? Then will he answer them, saying, Verily I say to you, Inasmuch as you did not do it for one of the least of these, you did not do it for me. And these will go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
"For I was hungry, and you gave me meat: I was thirsty, and you gave me drink: I was a stranger, and you took me in: naked, and you clothed me: I was sick, and you visited me: I was in prison, and you came to me.
Inasmuch as you have done it to one of the least of these my brethren, you have done it to me"
Take something from this and evaluate how you live your life.
Is your life centered on you and yours?
Or is your life centered on Christ?
If your life is centered on Christ the question of caring for others or not won’t even need to be asked, if your heart is in the right place your actions will also be.
Go out of our way and comfort zone and help someone today.
Do unto others as you would have them do to you.

There’s so much emphases put on trying to figure out when Christ will return.
WHY ?
After reading revelation i came to the conclusion and realization that it does not matter when He comes back, what does matter is are you ready for Him to return or not.
The people I have known who are always trying to figure out when He will return are so busy looking at when that they are missing the present. Today is the present, the present, that’s right to day is a present a present from God, and most people miss opening it up and enjoying it, or taking advantage of the time to bring others in to the flock of Christ.
Jesus said that everyone will see His return He gave us the example of the 12 virgins and the lamp oil
Mat 24:35 - Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
¶ Matthew 24:36 - 44
But of that day and hour knows no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
But know this, that if the good man of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
Therefore you also be ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
¶ Matthew 24:54 - 51
Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?
Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.
But if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delays his coming;
And shall begin to smite his fellow servants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;
The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looks not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,
And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
¶ Mathew 25:1 - 6
Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
¶ 25:6 - 11
And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
But the wise answered, saying, Not so (NO); or there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
¶ Matthew 25:11 - 12
Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
¶ Matthew 25:13
Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
The thing is be ready, it does not matter when Christ will return, you can spend all you time your life trying to get others to see it your way and you will miss out in the end or you can go about the work the Lord has given you to do (which is to love others in to His kingdom)
Not to drive them away with your miss led righteousness.
If you are one of these who are hung up on when Christ will return open your eyes, relies you have a duty to preform and it is not to figure out when He will return but to be ready for His return, and to look forward to His return. Caring for others and loving them in to the kingdom of Christ.

Things to take from and hold to out of Revelations 2:1 - 3:22
This is what Christ has to say to you, about you and for you
Christ;
The One who holds the seven stars in His right hand,
The One who walks among the seven golden lampstands
The first and the last,
The one who was dead, and has come to life,
The One who has the sharp two-edged sword
The Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and His feet are like burnished bronze,
He who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars
He who is holy, who is true, who has the key of David, who opens and no one will shut, and who shuts and no one opens,
The Amen, the faithful and true Witness,
The Beginning of the creation of God
Says theses thing to you:
"I know your deeds"
"I know your tribulation and your poverty"
"I know where you dwell"
"I know your love and faith and service and perseverance"
"I know your tribulation and your poverty"
"i know that you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead.
"But I have a few things against you"
"You have left your first love"
"You tolerate faults prophetess"
"That you are neither cold nor hot; I wish that you were cold or hot, if you remain lukewarm I will spit you out of My mouth.”
"I gave you time to repent, but you do not want to repent of your immorality Repent;
Repent or else I am coming to you quickly, and I will make war against you with the sword of My mouth"
Repent and be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.
What you have in me, hold fast until I come That your deeds of late are greater than at first.
if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will come to you
""Wake up"", and strengthen the things of God that still remain in you
Remember what you have received and heard; and keep it, and repent.
He who overcomes I will not erase his name from the book of life, and I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels
If you will keep the word of My perseverance, I also will keep you from the hour of testing, that hour which is about to come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth
"I am coming quickly";
hold fast what you have
"He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he will not go out from it anymore; and I will write on him the name of My God, and I will grant to him to sit down with Me on My throne
You say, "I am rich, and have become wealthy, and have need of nothing," and you do not know that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked,
I advise you to buy from Me gold refined by fire so that you may become rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself, and that the shame of your nakedness will not be revealed;
and eye salve to anoint your eyes so that you may see.
"I say to you, the ones who do not hold faults teaching, who have not known the deep things of Satan, I place no other burden on them.
'Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline
so be zealous and repent I stand at the door and knock;
if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me
He, who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
Amen

Laodicea
Rev 3:14
"To the angel of the church in Laodicea write: The Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God, says this:
Rev 3:15
'I know your deeds! That you are neither cold nor hot; I wish that you were cold or hot.
Rev 3:16
'So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, “I will spit you out of My mouth.”
Rev 3:17
'Because you say, "I am rich, and have become wealthy, and have need of nothing," and you do not know that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked,
Rev 3:18
I advise you to buy from Me gold refined by fire so that you may become rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself, and that the shame of your nakedness will not be revealed; and eye salve to anoint your eyes so that you may see.
Rev 3:19
'Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline; therefore be zealous and repent.
Rev 3:20
'Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me.
Rev 3:21
'He who overcomes, I will grant to him to sit down with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.
Rev 3:22
'He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.' "
1. 'I know your deeds!
2. That you are neither cold nor hot; I wish that you were cold or hot.
3. because you are lukewarm
4. I will spit you out of My mouth
5. you say, "I am rich, and have become wealthy
6. but you do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind and naked,
7. buy from Me gold refined by fire
8. so that you may become rich, and white garments so the shame of your nakedness will not be revealed, and eye salve to anoint your eyes so that you may see.
9. 'Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline;
10. Be zealous and repent.
11. I stand at the door and knock;
12. if anyone hears My voice and opens the door,
13. I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me.
14. 'He who overcomes,
15. I will grant to him to sit down with Me on My throne,
16. 'He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.' "
There are so many of us who are lukewarm, with no boldness to share even what the Lord has done for us, like slugs dragging our self’s through the day with no enthusiasm for life or what Christ has done for us.
You call yourself a Christian then when you wake in the morning you should have a smile on your face joy in your heart,
a. Be in the word of God
b. Speak with Christ every day and all day
c. Be in His word to learn His life and how His life will change your life (the life He has given you)
d. Use that life to be a witness of Him (Christ) and not of yourself to each and every person Christ brings in your path
Christ tell us to be zealous (enthusiastic, passionate, fervent, eager, extreme, intense) do any of these word describe your life in Christ?
We are given so many opportunities throughout the days we are given to be the light and the salt in and to this world but instead we are more concerned about having or loosing things, and the only thing most seem to be enthusiastic about are sports, movie and music or the latest gadget on the market.
i can see why Christ could be heart broken and discussed with us and why Father God needs the filter of Christ to even tolerate us and our miserable little lives that we think we have made so great.
Sorry (no iI’m not sorry) it hearts me to see how so many who call themselves Christians but do not live for Christ. They live for self but talk as if they are doing such great things and how God has blessed them, if your miserable and are in so much debt to have that new car, home, piece of clothing, or whatever it may be ((((if you have to go in to debt to get it, it is not from God it is of your own doing)))) Don’t blame God for you being in debt, for Christ said “Owe no man nothing but love”
Clean your life up by repenting of your ways which are not Gods ways, find out who you are in Christ, then spend the rest of your days zealous for the things of God! and through your enthusiasm for Christ, other will be drawn to Him
