Laodicea -Apostasy Period 1900 - Present. This church was people driven, not Christ driven. In Rev. 3:14-22, Jesus said the Laodicea Church didn't know it was wretched, miserable, poor, blind and naked. He called them lukewarm and rather they'd be cold or hot. We are living in the Laodicea era today where people are professing Christ on Sunday, but living as if He doesn't exist Monday through Saturday. Do you know if you are lukewarm, self reliant, self-righteous and blind? Jesus is knocking, the time is short.

God's Power is Creative, Upholding, and Resurrecting. Receive a blessing in the understanding of how His power brought all things in heaven and earth into existence; how He sustains all things He created by the Word of His power; and how the Resurrection power is the highest level of His power. God does not want us to be ignorant of His Word or of His Power.

In Revelations 3:7-13, Jesus writes to the Church in Philadelphia--The Missionary Period, 1739-1900 A.D.--also meaning Brotherly Love. Like the Church in Smyrna, the letter reveals the kind of church God approves of. They received His unqualified praise and approval. As a church, we should take heed. As individuals, "He that hath an ear", should listen.

Are you demonstrating God's power when sharing the Gospel message with others? In Acts 17:22-34, as Paul set out to preach the Gospel in Athens, he tried using intellect to reach the people and the results were not as inspiring. But, in 1 Corinthians 2, when preaching the Gospel to Corinth, he went with a demonstration of the Spirit's power so that their faith would not rest on human wisdom, but on God's power.

In Revelations 3:1-6, Jesus writes to the Church in Sardis--The Reformation Period, which were known for its luxury and looseness with the reputation for apathy and immortality. They were overcome twice because of over-confidence and failing to watch. Jesus refers to these examples to encourage repentance and watchfulness. Just as today we must be watchful, remember, hold fast, repent, overcome and refuse to be defiled.

Fasting does not change God--as it says in Hebrew 13:8, Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever. It doesn't change the devil--he's mean whether we fast or not. Fasting changes us by positioning us to be used and blessed by God. Receive an understanding of the blessings of Fasting.

In Revelations 2:18-29, Jesus writes to the Church in Thyatira--Dark Ages, 538-1517 A.D., when the bishop of Rome was declared pope of the whole church. The church was commended for its works, love, service, faith and patience; but, was rebuked for its full-scale idolatry, immortality and tolerance for both. The false teachings of Jezebel were accepted by some and rejected by some. Both were addressed by Jesus.

Why do we Fast? To position ourselves to receive God's grace and because Jesus told us of the need to fast and pray. Fasting demonstrates humility,as spoken in James 4:6--God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble. When we humble ourselves before God, pray, seek His face and repent; then He will hear us, forgive us and heal us. Receive a blessing in the understanding of the importance of why we Fast.

In Revelations 2:12-17, Jesus writes to the Church in Pergamos--Age of Constantine, 313-538 A.D. Pergamos, which means mixed marriage, was also known as the Age of Compromise. This was a period of moral and doctrinal corruption--when the Church married the world, of which Jesus was sorely displeased. Receive an understanding of what He had to say of their need to repent.

Fasting is a private discipline that produces open rewards. It is the refraining from food for a specific time for a specific reason or purpose. Do you know the real meaning of fasting? Receive an understanding of Isaiah 58:6-7, teaching about God's chosen fast and Isaiah 58:8-12, teaching about the true rewards of fasting.

In Revelations 2:8-11, John writes Jesus' letter to the church of Smyrna, which is under Roman persecution during the period 100-313 A.D. Christ makes references to death--His, theirs, and the second death. He speaks on how He knows their works, tribulations and poverty, but reminds them of their reward for being faithful unto death--the Crown of Life.

In Revelations 2 & 3, John was instructed by Jesus to write to the 7 churches that were geographically arranged on a mail route in Asia Minor during First Century A.D. The link between John's day and Christ's return is a prophetic time period pictured by the 7 church eras, describing the conditions and adjustments needed by each. The first letter was to the church of Ephesus during the Apostolic Period of 31-100 A.D. Receive an understanding of what Jesus had to say to the church in order to receive their reward--the Tree of Life.
