Letters

I've been reading the letters written to the churches
in the book of Revelations.
Each one is written differently and in accordance
with the strength and need of each church.

What God is saying to our church would be different than what God is saying to the church down the road. Of course, all Scripture is given to every church, but in Revelation, the letters were personally written to individual churches.

It would be easier to listen to the voice of someone we trust and apply what they tell us when they say that 'this' is what God is doing in 'the church' right now rather than to fast and pray with a few and with many and to discern the heart and mind of God for us as individuals and for our own particular body of Christ.

But this is a matter of life and death;
not about what is easier.

That is why we must prepare to make changes in our own lives
before we require change from those whose souls we must give account.

That is why must we read the Revelation letters
and discern which words are also written to us.

That is why we must repent and return and endeavor to overcome.

The price is too high if we do not do these things
and the rewards are too great to miss.
