18 “And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write:
Revelation 2:18-29 NASB
The Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and feet like burnished bronze, says this:
19 ‘I know your deeds, and your love and faith, and service and perseverance, and that your deeds of late are greater than at first. 20 But I have this against you, that you tolerate the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, and she teaches and leads My bond-servants astray so that they commit sexual immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols. 21 I gave her time to repent, and she does not want to repent of her sexual immorality. 22 Behold, I will throw her on a bed of sickness, and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of her deeds. 23 And I will kill her children with plague, and all the churches will know that I am He who searches the minds and hearts; and I will give to each one of you according to your deeds. 24 But I say to you, the rest who are in Thyatira, who do not hold this teaching, who have not known the deep things of Satan, as they call them—I place no other burden on you. 25 Nevertheless what you have, hold firmly until I come. 26 The one who overcomes, and the one who keeps My deeds until the end, I will give him authority over the nations; 27 and he shall rule them with a rod of iron, as the vessels of the potter are shattered, as I also have received authority from My Father; 28 and I will give him the morning star. 29 The one who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
There are signs of Jezebel leading a person. The number one sign is false doctrine. The second is idolatry (extreme admiration, love, or reverence for something or someone). The third is immorality (wickedness). If you have been listening to anyone who has this spirit, you must repent or be judged because all who follow the lies will be judged. It is imperative that we hold fast to that which is true and refrain from the very appearance of evil (2 Timothy 2:14-18 & 1 Thessalonians 5:22). We are promised a great reward. Can You imagine the eternal presence of Christ? What a day that will be when our Jesus we shall see!
Father God,
Thank You for Your great mercy. Help us to continually hold on that which we know is right according to Your word. Our reward of life eternal with You is worth any trials we have in this world. The great thing is that You do not leave us alone to face anything. You are with us. You love us. You empower us. We have nothing to fear for You are with us! How amazing You are. How great is Your faithfulness. What mercy You have on Your children. Please keep us on the straight and narrow. You are the only hope and peace that we have. We love You and want to live out our lives for Your glory. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
I thank you God, for Donna and her utter devotion to you. Please bless her abundantly today. Amen.
