I've not heard it explained like this in all my 73 years!! WHY? It's amazing how we've NOT LEARNED A THING. We're still in this predicament..... "if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways then I will hear from heaven forgive their sins." I have and am NOTHING without Jesus Christ. Thank you Voddie Bachmann...thank you. 💖 Texas Nana Psalm 91
Revelation is like any other book in Scripture and unlike any other book in Scripture. It’s much like John. Easy enough to grasp on the surface, yet deep enough to wade through for 30 lifetimes and not grasp it all. I’m only 43, and I’m blessed to have a small online ministry. If asked which book I’d recommend for brand new Christians (if just one), it’d be either John or Revelation. Why? Bc both CLEARLY state Jesus is God, both CLEARLY reveal His character, and therefore both CLEARLY demonstrate He is both the One to love AND fear - not the devil. He’s the tempter, yes. But he can’t throw our souls into hell. Christ can. And btw. Isn’t self reliance the same thing as being cold? If you have gold and belongings but know you’re still in need of EVERYTHING He offers, is that not hot? Surface meaning, deeper meaning (what Voddie touched on here), and meanings so deep my brain cannot grasp it all. I’m sure you know Revelation is the only book in the Bible that cross references you back to all 65 other books AND itself in both the future and past tense! Fascinating! And it just gets better. If you’d like the deepest dive I’ve ever encountered online (or anywhere else for that matter short of doctorate level Bible college…and even that isn’t this deep IMO( into Revelation (and every other book in Scripture), may I refer you to the late, great Dr. Chuck Missler? He has an over 24 hour study on Revelation, and reveals hidden gems within the text (every book) that are BEAUTIFUL esp to this scientific age bc they PROVE Jesus wrote the Bible! For example, refer to Genesis 5. Just a genealogy of 10 guys right? Not so fast! See, the names we have are a transliteration of Hebrew. But Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic (the 3 languages of the original Scriptures - Daniel and Ezra were both originally penned in Aramaic and the rest of the OT Hebrew, the entire NT Koine Greek), all share these peculiar characteristics. They all have a mathematical attachment to every letter in their alphabet, and every letter in their alphabet has a translatable meaning! So, let’s TRANSLATE the names in Genesis 5 and see what we get: Adam = Man Seth = Appointed Enosh = Mortal Kenan = Sorrow Mahalaleel = The Blessed God Jared = Shall Come Down (Jared is a verb) Enoch = Teaching Methuselah = His Death Shall Bring Lamech = The Despairing Noah = Comfort (or) Rest Now, let’s put that into a sentence! Man (is) Appointed Mortal Sorrow (but) The Blessed God Shall Come Down Teaching (that) His Death Shall Bring The Despairing Comfort (or Rest)! Now I’m not that smart ma’am! And Dr. Missler isn’t the only Christian throughout the ages to make this startling discovery. Why is it so important? Bc you’ll NEVER convince me a bunch of Jewish Rabbis conspired to hide what would become the summary of the Christian gospel inside a genealogy within there blessed Torah! No way! And this is just one of HUNDREDS of discoveries like it. Another is the shape of the camp in Numbers. I won’t labor you with the mathematics (you can read that in Numbers for yourself), but the camp literally forms a perfect cross! And in the very middle? The tabernacle! God Himself! So when Balaam came to curse the Israelites upon the mountain, he literally would have seen from above the shape of men in the formation of a perfectly symmetrical cross! Again, I’m not that smart ma’am. But if you’re intrigued, search TH-cam for “Chuck Missler Torah Codes (Bible).” The thumbnail for the video will have Dr. Missler’s picture in the middle of a Matrix like computer grid behind him (he didn’t design that - whoever uploaded the video did). But the most intriguing discovery of them all (in my humble opinion) is the 3rd of the 4 he will share in that video. That will give you the flavor of how he taught the Bible (he’s with the LORD now). Then, go jump into Revelation (or any other book) by simply searching for his name, the book of your choice, and “session 1” or “session 2,” etc. It’ll take you on a journey through Scripture that to this day I’m still humbled God showed me. I pray this reaches you doing well Nana! Sincerely, (A lucky son to a blessed mother and Nana like you!) Brian My apologies ahead of time. I am very wordy esp about this subject called the Bible! God bless you and yours ma’am 🙏
Amen, Praise God, I Love your Statement...2nd Chronicles 7:14. Psalm 91 is very much woth Memorizing, like so many Great Verses. Lord Jesus, Let Us All Not become Lukewarm in these Last Hours.
The reason why you haven't heard truth like this is because unqualified false teachers who don't understand the difference between symbolic, prophetic literature and biblical history began flooding churches with their emotional manipulation tactics and motivational speeches instead of truth like you hear from preachers like Voddie Baucham, RC Sproul, Sam Storms, Joel Beeke, John R Crosby, GK Beale and others who stick to historical Amillennial perspective. Voddie Baucham's God-given wisdom truly shows as he is NOT a Dispensational-futurist who parrots false teachers like John Darby & C.I. Scofield (who wrote their own Bible and pioneered the Dispensational-Zionist rapture movement), Tim LaHaye (known for his Left Behind apocalyptic fiction books and movies), John Walvoord (who will die a rich man from making billions$$$ off people who don't understand prophetic language) John Hagee (with his repeatedly failed blood-moon theories and rapture charts and books), Joel Osteen, Chuck Missler (who kept getting in trouble for copying copyrighted material to gain popularity and started the y2k craze, saying the rapture is going to happen in year 2000) and other charismaniac preachers today.
There may be things in your life that you haven't repented of. We are all sinners but some people keep doing things thinking it's not a big deal. Like enabling someone in their addiction, living with a man or woman out of wedlock, watching porn. Repent and ask for forgiveness and mean it don't go right back. It isn't easy to follow Jesus some times but the Joy I have through everything is the peace that surpasses all understanding.
On May 14, 2024 the Holy Spirit said to me, “Lukewarm is NOT Christian”. A Christian is someone that not only believes in Christ but one who also follows Jesus. We are to be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.
Voddie is so incorrect. Thinking on his own wisdom! God is telling all these churches to repent. Even though two churches don’t say to repent. However; Jesus is telling all the churches the same! Fulfilling the law of Christ!
I do agree, but remember, John15:16. Also, ALL of the disciples of Jesus DESERTED him & Paul PERSECUTED the church, and NONE of us loved him at first, the only reason why we can love him in the first place is that he loved us first(1 John 4:19). Do you love someone out of fear? God is the author and finisher of our faith hebrews 12:2. Raise your hand if you loved God first. Don’t try to instill fear in people(2 Tim 1:7) thinking that they are not meant to be saved because they are baby Christians and don’t have “HOT PASSION” for God like you may have. He wants EVERYONE to be saved (john6:40) and we can CHOOSE to serve him and receive him as our Lord (Joshua 24:15), but there is growing process (Ephesians 4:13) what you say only talks about duty out of fear NOT devotion for God, but with enough duty, devotion might follow (John 8:31-32), but without devotion it is only religion not relationship(Luke 10:41-42) like the Pharisees and seducees but God who started the good work in you will see to an end (Phil 1:6 & 1 Thes 5:24) because without the help of the Holy Spirit we can’t love(1 cor 8:1 & 1 cor 13:2 & 1 John 4:8 & mat 19:26) and know God (John 14:26 & Eph 1:17-19). When you first believed and confessed (rom 10:9-10), you were born again by God into a new spirit(creation) 2 cor5:17 and the Holy Spirit dwells in you(1 John 4:18 & 5:1) You are saved, but there still need for sanctification(john17:17) and growing in faith, but God doesn’t really want you to live in fear (Luke 1:74). God’s will is john6:40, 1 Thes 4:3, 1 Thes 5:16-24. It is YOUR personal walk with God, but he never leaves you nor forsakes you (deut 31:8) do you expect same responsibility from a child as with an adult, but if you are a parent you would want your children to grow up, I think same with God, but everyone’s phase or spiritual maturity is different. The way you become more devotional that I believe is by obeying the word of God like I mentioned above, and walk with God (reading the Bible, praying, and applying the word of God into your lives and see the fruit of it’s power in physical realm. Feat. Psalm34:8 & psalms 37:4& psalm 119) Also, by reading the Bible your understanding grows (1 Cor 14:20 & proverbs 9:10, Transformed - rom 12:2) and you start to think like him and see in his perspective (God’s- Phil 2:5) and you understand why he told you to do certain things that you didn’t know before because now that you’ve actually live through it and see the result of it, you WANT to live like that (feat. Deut. 28). And realize the Father’s love for us, that it was actually all for us and for his glory. “And now, Israel, what doth the LORD thy God require of thee, but to fear the LORD thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the LORD thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul, to keep the commandments of the LORD, and his statutes, which I command thee this day for thy good?” Deuteronomy 10:12-13 KJV bible.com/bible/1/deu.10.13.KJV “For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.” 1 John 5:3 KJV bible.com/bible/1/1jn.5.3.KJV “I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth; even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him.” Isaiah 43:6-7 KJV bible.com/bible/1/isa.43.7.KJV “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.” James 4:7-8 KJV bible.com/bible/1/jas.4.8.KJV
These verses are literally what brought me to tears and to my knees about 1 1/2 years ago and I still can’t read or hear them spoken without weeping. I was in a very bad place at that time. Jesus came to me in that moment and saved me and changed me. I will only need an eternity to thank him..
I need nothing Because I have Jesus Christ in my life as I am absolutely nothing and can do nothing without him. Praise our Hevenly Father, Glory be to God and thank you Jesus.
What he forgets to tell you is that all those 7 churches were destroyed just like Jesus said. So did Jesus come and destroy those churches back then like he said he would? Is Jesus a liar? All those 7 churches had to be dug out under 20 feet of MUD.
I confess to God in my prayers that we study the Bible but so many people have to interpret it and many people disagree on meanings. It’s not fair many will burn in hell for our intellectual shortcomings and our inability to understand scripture. The Bible is not direct enough and this sends many people to hell through our misunderstanding of the word. I ask God 8n my prayers that the Bible would be best served if there is one more testament of the Bible written called the ‘. Final Testament written in English and that Jesus appear during the Super bowl and speak audibly to the world. Too many people are guessing what is true in life. Faith and understanding are two different things.
@@wheelie642 I think it would help, if we just understand the Bible how it's written and don't over-interpret everything too much. The Bible interprets itself through cross references within the text. Read Revelation in parallel with Daniel 7, for instance. That's a good start.
God revealed this to me and I started explaining it to believers. I’m glad you spoke on this! The cold was Good for drinking and the hot was Good for purification.
Just a year ago now we were in Turkey, wading in the calcified waters of Hieropolis. Our guide mentioned that by the time the waters got to Laodicea it was no longer hot and was ineffective. The whole trip was a wonderful experience.
@charlene. . . . . . . some years ago, I spent a month touring western & southern Turkey, the many historical sites, tunnels leading to large underground communities many used to hide out, or the many amphitheaters & places Paul gave the Gospel message. . There are still many Christians there mixed in with Muslims. Hopefully Erdogan will not close the tourism in his quest to end the achievements of Mustafa Kamal .....Ataturk
And pastor Philip A Mitchell. Yeah it's a lot of false doctrine going around in these last and evils days. False teachers, and so called prophets who are deceiving. We need the Word of God
📣(3) THE GOSPEL OF THE WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD "the last age that Christ brought to purify man with His Word" How God Manages and Administers the Spiritual World. ... 3. The Cycle of Life and Death of People Who Follow God Almighty God said NEXT is the cycle of life and death of SERVANT people. We have just discussed servants; WHAT IS THEIR ORIGIN? (Some are PEOPLE who DO NOT SPEAK, some are ANIMALS.) 😪 These SERVANTS are REINCARNATED--HUMANS from UNBELIEVING PEOPLE and ANIMALS. 🔴 WHEN the LAST PHASE of WORK COMES, GOD CHOOSES from among the UNBELIEVING PEOPLE a GROUP of such PEOPLE, and it is a GROUP that is UNIQUE. God's PURPOSE in CHOOSING such PEOPLE is for them to SERVE His WORK. "Service" is not a very pleasant word to hear, nor is it something that anyone can be dedicated to, but we must SEE for WHOM it is DEDICATED. 🔴 There is a UNIQUE IMPORTANCE in the EXISTENCE of God's SERVANTS. NO ONE ELSE CAN PERFORM THEIR ROLE, because they were CHOSEN by God, and on this THE SIGNIFICANCE of their EXISTENCE DEPENDS. And WHAT is the ROLE of these SERVANTS? To SERVE GOD'S CHOSEN PEOPLE. 🔴🙏 Basically, their ROLE is to SERVE God's WORK, to HELP God's WORK, and to HELP God BUILD His CHOSEN PEOPLE. 🙏🌷 Regardless of whether they work, fulfill certain roles, or perform such duties, WHAT DOES GOD REQUIRE of these PEOPLE? He is too SERIOUS of His NEEDS of them? (He asks them to be faithful.) 🔴 SERVANTS also NEED to be FAITHFUL. Regardless of your ORIGIN, or why GOD CHOSEN you, YOU MUST be HONEST: You must be HONEST to GOD, in whatever God COMMANDS you, as well as in the work you are RESPONSIBLE for and the DUTY you PERFORM. 🙏 If the PEOPLE have the ABILITY to be FAITHFUL, and to FAIL God, then what will be their end? They can STAY. Is it a blessing to be a SERVANT who REMAINS? What does STAY MEAN? What does this BLESSING mean? In fact, they don't seem like the people CHOSEN by God, they seem strange. In REALITY, however, is what they enjoy in this life NOT the same as God's CHOSEN people? At least, in this LIFE it's just the same. 🔴 You will not deny it. Yes? God's utterances, God's GRACE, God's PROVIDENCE, God's blessings---who CANNOT ENJOY these THINGS? Everyone will enjoy such abundance. IDENTIFYING a SERVANT is a servant, but to God, they are one in the MIDDLE of all things He CREATED--as long as their ROLE is as that of a SERVANT. So what do you say, as one of God's CREATIONS, is there a difference BETWEEN a SERVANT and God's CHOSEN PEOPLE? There is REALLY NO DIFFERENCE. If the CONVERSATION is in the NAME, there is a difference, there is a DIFFERENCE in the SPIRIT, if the CONVERSATION is in the ROLE they PLAY there is a DIFFERENCE, BUT GOD does NOT DISTINGUISH AGAINST them. 🔴 So WHY are these PEOPLE considered SERVANTS? You MUST UNDERSTAND this. THE WONDERERS COME from the UNBELIEVING. MENTIONING people WHO do NOT BELIEVE TELLS US that their PAST is BAD: They are all ATHEISTS, in their PAST they are ATHEISTS, they DO NOT BELIEVE in GOD, and they HATE GOD, TRUTH, and POSITIVE things . 😪 They do not believe in God and they do not believe that there is a God, SO do they have the ABILITY to UNDERSTAND the WORDS of GOD? It's fair to say that, for the most part, they have NO ABILITY. Just LIKE ANIMALS CANNOT UNDERSTAND HUMAN WORDS, SERVANTS do NOT UNDERSTAND what GOD SAYS WHAT He NEEDS, Why He MAKES such REQUIREMENTS---these THINGS are HARD to UNDERSTAND to them,They REMAIN UNEXPLAINED. 🔴 And for this REASON, these people DO NOT HAVE the LIFE we are TALKING ABOUT. IF there is NO LIFE, CAN people UNDERSTAND the TRUTH? Do they have the TRUTH? Do they HAVE EXPERIENCE and KNOWLEDGE of GOD'S WORDS? Certainly not. Such is the ORIGIN of SERVANTS. But since God made these people SERVANTS, there STILL are STANDARDS in His REQUIREMENTS of them; they are NOT belittled, and He is NOT superficial to them. Although they DO NOT UNDERSTAND His WORDS, and are lifeless, God remains KIND to them, and still has rules in His requirements of them. You just said these rules: Being FAITHFUL to GOD, and DOING WHAT HE SAYS. 🙏 From "The Word Appears in the Flesh" Fulfillment of (John 1:1) and (Revelation 18:9,13) The Savior has returned and He or Christ has fulfilled His building of the kingdom/church on top of the rock or standing in the worthy holy place in the air/TH-cam! When He came He fulfilled what was prophesied in the book of Revelation and from there it is recorded that He changed a new name and the name of His city from ("THE CHURCH OF ALMIGHTY GOD" 💐) "The Epistle to the church of Philadelphia" "The one who overcomes is I will make a pillar in thetemple of my God, and he shall not be removed from it forever. I will engrave on him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem that will come down out of heaven from my God. I will also engrave him with my new name. (Revelation 3:12). ... "The Reign of the Prince of Peace" "For a baby boy is born and he will rule over us. He is the wonderful counselor, the Almighty God, the eternal Father, the Prince of peace." (Isaiah 9:6). ... "For the Lamb in the midst of the throne will be their SHEPHERD. He will lead them to springs of life-giving water; and God will wipe away the tears from their eyes." (Revelation 7:17). "They said together, "Salvation comes from the Lamb, and from our God who sits on the throne!" (Revelation 7:10). ... So God's sheep and the right people He created have come to His holy city the New Jerusalem that will only last on earth for 1,000 years "THE CHURCH OF ALMIGHTY GOD"💐
I've been praying for deliverance from painkillers. I've been tapering for a while now and had a major setback when my doctor tapered my dose too much too quickly. My body went into shock, and I'm back up to a higher dose than I was at when he made the drop. I've also been praying for healing for the pain I'm on the painkillers for. Thank you for the encouragement to keep praying.
i got a deliverance decree you could say it out loud a few times and try some CBd or even medical marijuana its in the bible the eyesalve so weed heals its part of the annointing oil recipe Moses used. Romans 8 deliverance decree There is no condemnation to me i live in Christ Jesus and He lives in me I walk in the Spirit of the Lord of Glory His face shines on me He has made me free from sin and death By sending His Son in the likeness of sinful flesh So I could be spiritually minded in life and peace The Spirit of God dwells in me I please God by offering myself a living sacrifice to Him My body is as good as dead because of being sick and sinful But the righteousness of God covers me The same Spirit living in me raised Christ from the dead Shall quicken my mortal body by the Spirit in me (why you need to be filled with the Spirit its powerful) I mortify the deeds of the flesh No longer in bondage to fear i am adopted and a child of God i can call Him Abba The Spirit of Jesus bears witness with my Spirit i am His child I suffered with Him but it is not worthy or comparable to the glory of God in me All creation groans and travails with me creatures suffered with us the earth groaned too. We groan along with creation waiting for our bodies of death to be changed We will all be delivered soon God who searches the heart knows the mind of the spirit and makes intercession for us all according to the will of God What can I say to such a beautiful gift? God is for me. Who can be against me? He freely gave me all the good gifts i needed Who can charge me with anything? God has justified me. Who can condemn me? Christ died for me nobody and nothing can separate me from Him No tribulation, or distress, persecution, famine or nakedness, or peril or sword shall ever separate me from the Lord my God. All day long i might be slandered, cast out, excluded, and killed like a slaughtered sheep But in all this i am a victorious overcoming conqueror through Him who loves me. I know no kind of doubt i can even muster up that nothing can separate me from His love. He has promised me. I will live and die, but no evil angels, principalities, powers, nor things happening now, or in the past, nothing high, nothing low, no pit of despair, nothing will separate me from the Love of Christ Jesus. I got this word of knowledge healing song for a blind homeless guy i pray for. Its a promise from God to heal him! From Isaiah 29. Holy double Glory to God! He gave me some powerful healing songs we can all sing them. Everybody needs to be healed like Israel when Moses took them out. Sing it over your sick people. in that day The deaf shall hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see The lame shall leap like a deer The dead in Christ (Isaiah 26:19) will arise awake and sing Together we will sing Come out of darkness, and see See clearly Come listen to me i have eye salve for thee The afflicted and humble shall rejoice in me and the poor and needy man He shall sing with the Holy One For the evil one is cast out, And fallen and the scorner is consumed, Like the chaff and burned and all that love sin and iniquity shall be cut off “””That make a man an offender for the word, and lay a snare for him that reproves in the gate, and turn aside the just for a thing of nought. Therefore thus saith the LORD, your God If you trust and listen to me You shall not be ashamed, neither shall you be afraid . You shall sanctify my name, and sing with the Holy One and shall fear God and glorify His name What you didn't understand will be revealed And you will learn sound doctrine and all be healed By the dew of herbs Thus says the Lord
Wow...thank you Lord for the teacher and the teaching of your word. I pray it falls on good ground. That it may be taken out and spoken to others for the glory of the Father. Thank you, man of God!🙏🏾✝️👏🏾
Context is so key, Voddie is right. Exposition is powerful here. It's the same thing where Jesus called the Samaritan woman a dog, the context was how the culture was back then, relating back to that. So the reader needs to understand context. Wow praise God.
Context is key, so if that church was destroyed like Jesus said, that was him who did it in a day of the Lord event right? Look up the seven churches. Did Jesus come back then like he said he would (soon) or is he a liar
When teaching on the book of Revelation, it is of utmost importance to know the history of these seven churches or you will spiritualize all the texts and miss out on some rich literal meaning. I'm so blessed that a long time ago- I got a hold of John MacArthur's commentary on the book of Revelation, and he shares exactly what Voddie is saying here. These great Bible expositors are God's blessing to us for such a time! Always enjoy Voddie's teaching on anything in the Bible!
Agreed. And it's of utmost importance to know the cultural and historical context of the entire Bible. So many Western misconceptions arise from not contextualizing. The Bible was written for us, not to us.
@@keithkahley So these churches didn't exist? And if I write a work of fiction, am I likely to use my own personal, social, and cultural references in that work? Extremely low resolution comment.
@@keithkahley In actuality, those seven churches have existed in every age and place throughout history. It's certainly real. And you seem to divide the spiritual and literal so completely as to say that one doesn't inform the other. If The Revelation doesn't do that, why write it? The literal (physical) and spiritual are inextricably linked. All day, everywhere around you. (Open the eyes of my servant, Lord....Elisha). Try to avoid simplistic, one-off comments.
Just WOW. We serve an AWESOME GOD! Thank you, Pastor, for these words, for this teaching. Thank you for being a man of God and sharing His Word with all of us!
Incredible! The details and explanation of this text. I’ve never heard this explained before. I’ve only heard be either hot or cold. How deep is this theological ground❤Wow!!!
Praise God ❤. Thanks for the answer to my prayers with this confirmation and I thank God for his wisdom. May God bless you abundantly in Jesus name Amen 🙏
Thank you for this! I always felt convicted by this, that I wasn't the "right" temperature. Now that I understand, I'm confident. I try my best to fully rely on God.
Conviction and guilt are 2 separate different things. Many teachers today explain most of the NT legalistically, causing believers to stumble rather than empowering them to keep believing and walk humbly with our God, jesus Christ the LORD.
AMAZING! Have known this scripture for most of my life and always had the common, apparently erroneous interpretation. I had never heard this cultural- and geographical-based interpretation. It helps my spiritual self so much! Thank you, God, for Dr. Baucham!
2 months ago I heard the Holy Spirit tell me that I was lukewarm and I was horrified! Now at least I know how to repent! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
I have never heard of this interpretation and I am just in absolute awe of how our Lord Jesus speaks through His servants. Thank you brother Voddie for remaining to be our Lords faithful servant. Whenever I am dwindling in my faith God shows me mercy and grace yet again.
Tepid water also is a favorable growth medium for dangerous microbes. Stuff doesn't grow nearly so easily in either hot or cold water. It's a great metaphor.
Finally a faithful Bible expositor who teaches what the text says not culture or tradition. Thank you Lord for Your gift to Your church through men like Voddie Baucham. May we study, learn, obey and glorify You.
Thank you so much for explaining this verse!!!!! I’ve seen numerous videos that speak about it as intensity for the Lord. They interpret the verse exactly as you say not to interpret it! Thank you so much!!! God bless you and all you do.
Thank you SO much for explaining that. I needed it!! God Bless and please continue to send out more of those heartfelt a spirit fed messages to all of God's creatures 🙏
Got a similar revelation a few months ago, thankfully the LORD has now confirmed it for me. Cold water is refreshing, we are to be refreshing to one and other, including the unbeliever. We will be refreshing because of our kindness, generosity, love, compassion. You will know if a person is refreshing, when after you spend time with them you feel uplifted, energised, joyful etc. Hot water drink like a soup, is full of nutrients and has significant healing power. We are to bring healing to each other, such as listening to each other, giving shoulder to lean on, helping one and other greive and most importantly, sharing Jesus. You will know you've encountered a Christian with hot water by their listening, gentle and soothing presence that feels like you are drinking a nice hot soup when you have a cold or sickness. Lukewarm Christian is one who is neither. They do not provide any refreshments or revitalisation. Their presence, despite being Christian, is distasteful, bitter and unpleasant to be around.
Oh and, when the unbeliver keeps drinking our refreshing water that is our refreshing presence, they will ask...how is you do this. And we will say, thanks be to our LORD Jesus Christ. Come, meet him.
I have everything I need because I'm IN CHRIST and I love Him because HE first loved me! Jesus Christ is my ALL in ALL! Thank you MUCH, Pastor Voddie! You're a faithful servant of the Lord, a true Bible teacher! Jesus is using you to make clear about "knowing the works of Laodicea, that the assembly there was neither cold nor hot and were claiming to be rich, when they were poor & naked because HE was not with them!" God alone be praised!" ❤😊
I differ from the self-reliance statement. Even if self-reliant, gratitude to God for allowing you what you have will keep you from self-contentment. This was also Nebuchadnezzar's sin that made him a beast for seven years. He was self-content, proud of his accomplishments instead of referring them to God's grace.
Thank you Pastor for clarifying this verse. I've known that this didn't mean cold=bad and I've told people that this was a wrong interpretation because Jesus wants everyone to come to Him. He would never say that he would rather see you unsaved. No one listens. They don't argue but keep spouting the false teaching. Your message gives me a deaper understanding about the meaning of this verse that I did not have thank you.
I only heard this explained a few years ago... glad to hear Voddie sharing this. We need to dig deeper into the Word of God to understand it properly. :)
I need Thee ev'ry hour, Most gracious Lord; No tender voice like Thine Can peace afford. I need Thee ev'ry hour, Stay Thou nearby; Temptations lose their pow’r When Thou art nigh. I need Thee ev'ry hour, In joy or pain; Come quickly and abide, Or life is vain. I need Thee ev'ry hour, Teach me Thy will; And Thy rich promises In me fulfill. I need Thee, oh, I need Thee; Ev'ry hour I need Thee; Oh, bless me now, my Savior, I come to Thee. Robert Lowry & Annie S. Hawks
Who else could sit and listen to Voddie for hours on end?
He is a good shepherd who leads by example and truth he is a true servant of Jesus Christ
We all need to sit and study the word for ourselves
He's got another gospel.

Psalm 91
Revelation is like any other book in Scripture and unlike any other book in Scripture. It’s much like John. Easy enough to grasp on the surface, yet deep enough to wade through for 30 lifetimes and not grasp it all. I’m only 43, and I’m blessed to have a small online ministry. If asked which book I’d recommend for brand new Christians (if just one), it’d be either John or Revelation. Why? Bc both CLEARLY state Jesus is God, both CLEARLY reveal His character, and therefore both CLEARLY demonstrate He is both the One to love AND fear - not the devil. He’s the tempter, yes. But he can’t throw our souls into hell. Christ can.
And btw. Isn’t self reliance the same thing as being cold? If you have gold and belongings but know you’re still in need of EVERYTHING He offers, is that not hot? Surface meaning, deeper meaning (what Voddie touched on here), and meanings so deep my brain cannot grasp it all. I’m sure you know Revelation is the only book in the Bible that cross references you back to all 65 other books AND itself in both the future and past tense! Fascinating! And it just gets better.
If you’d like the deepest dive I’ve ever encountered online (or anywhere else for that matter short of doctorate level Bible college…and even that isn’t this deep IMO( into Revelation (and every other book in Scripture), may I refer you to the late, great Dr. Chuck Missler? He has an over 24 hour study on Revelation, and reveals hidden gems within the text (every book) that are BEAUTIFUL esp to this scientific age bc they PROVE Jesus wrote the Bible!
For example, refer to Genesis 5. Just a genealogy of 10 guys right? Not so fast! See, the names we have are a transliteration of Hebrew. But Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic (the 3 languages of the original Scriptures - Daniel and Ezra were both originally penned in Aramaic and the rest of the OT Hebrew, the entire NT Koine Greek), all share these peculiar characteristics. They all have a mathematical attachment to every letter in their alphabet, and every letter in their alphabet has a translatable meaning! So, let’s TRANSLATE the names in Genesis 5 and see what we get:
Adam = Man
Seth = Appointed
Enosh = Mortal
Kenan = Sorrow
Mahalaleel = The Blessed God
Jared = Shall Come Down (Jared is a verb)
Enoch = Teaching
Methuselah = His Death Shall Bring
Lamech = The Despairing
Noah = Comfort (or) Rest
Now, let’s put that into a sentence!
Man (is) Appointed Mortal Sorrow (but) The Blessed God Shall Come Down Teaching (that) His Death Shall Bring The Despairing Comfort (or Rest)!
Now I’m not that smart ma’am! And Dr. Missler isn’t the only Christian throughout the ages to make this startling discovery. Why is it so important? Bc you’ll NEVER convince me a bunch of Jewish Rabbis conspired to hide what would become the summary of the Christian gospel inside a genealogy within there blessed Torah! No way! And this is just one of HUNDREDS of discoveries like it. Another is the shape of the camp in Numbers. I won’t labor you with the mathematics (you can read that in Numbers for yourself), but the camp literally forms a perfect cross! And in the very middle? The tabernacle! God Himself! So when Balaam came to curse the Israelites upon the mountain, he literally would have seen from above the shape of men in the formation of a perfectly symmetrical cross!
Again, I’m not that smart ma’am. But if you’re intrigued, search TH-cam for “Chuck Missler Torah Codes (Bible).” The thumbnail for the video will have Dr. Missler’s picture in the middle of a Matrix like computer grid behind him (he didn’t design that - whoever uploaded the video did). But the most intriguing discovery of them all (in my humble opinion) is the 3rd of the 4 he will share in that video. That will give you the flavor of how he taught the Bible (he’s with the LORD now). Then, go jump into Revelation (or any other book) by simply searching for his name, the book of your choice, and “session 1” or “session 2,” etc. It’ll take you on a journey through Scripture that to this day I’m still humbled God showed me. I pray this reaches you doing well Nana!
Sincerely,
(A lucky son to a blessed mother and Nana like you!)

My apologies ahead of time. I am very wordy esp about this subject called the Bible! God bless you and yours ma’am 🙏
Same. Good news is, we were faithful in seeking the truth and it was revealed to us bc God is faithful in his promise 🥰
@@KinnereyB Amen, Praise God, Thank You and God Bless You...Mr. Chuck Missler was such a Blessing to my Life.
Amen, Praise God, I Love your Statement...2nd Chronicles 7:14. Psalm 91 is very much woth Memorizing, like so many Great Verses. Lord Jesus, Let Us All Not become Lukewarm in these Last Hours.
The reason why you haven't heard truth like this is because unqualified false teachers who don't understand the difference between symbolic, prophetic literature and biblical history began flooding churches with their emotional manipulation tactics and motivational speeches instead of truth like you hear from preachers like Voddie Baucham, RC Sproul, Sam Storms, Joel Beeke, John R Crosby, GK Beale and others who stick to historical Amillennial perspective. Voddie Baucham's God-given wisdom truly shows as he is NOT a Dispensational-futurist who parrots false teachers like John Darby & C.I. Scofield (who wrote their own Bible and pioneered the Dispensational-Zionist rapture movement), Tim LaHaye (known for his Left Behind apocalyptic fiction books and movies), John Walvoord (who will die a rich man from making billions$$$ off people who don't understand prophetic language) John Hagee (with his repeatedly failed blood-moon theories and rapture charts and books), Joel Osteen, Chuck Missler (who kept getting in trouble for copying copyrighted material to gain popularity and started the y2k craze, saying the rapture is going to happen in year 2000) and other charismaniac preachers today.
Distance from the source is the problem....sooooo profound! May we seek to get back to our first love, Jesus Christ.
This verse has caused me crippIng fear that I'm lost - being an introvert is really hindering to being able to join in groups etc. What a relief
There may be things in your life that you haven't repented of. We are all sinners but some people keep doing things thinking it's not a big deal. Like enabling someone in their addiction, living with a man or woman out of wedlock, watching porn. Repent and ask for forgiveness and mean it don't go right back. It isn't easy to follow Jesus some times but the Joy I have through everything is the peace that surpasses all understanding.
@@RhondaPoston I mostly suffer from apathy- not staying in my devotions, reading Bible, fear... it's troubling
We must all be on guard in case we walk away from our first love, in our affections and actions.
Me too. I was like wow. Eye opening. Been hearing about and reading that so different my whole life.
On May 14, 2024 the Holy Spirit said to me, “Lukewarm is NOT Christian”. A Christian is someone that not only believes in Christ but one who also follows Jesus. We are to be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.
Amen
Voddie is so incorrect. Thinking on his own wisdom! God is telling all these churches to repent. Even though two churches don’t say to repent. However; Jesus is telling all the churches the same!
Fulfilling the law of Christ!
I do agree, but remember, John15:16.
Also, ALL of the disciples of Jesus DESERTED him & Paul PERSECUTED the church, and NONE of us loved him at first, the only reason why we can love him in the first place is that he loved us first(1 John 4:19).
Do you love someone out of fear? God is the author and finisher of our faith hebrews 12:2.
Raise your hand if you loved God first. Don’t try to instill fear in people(2 Tim 1:7) thinking that they are not meant to be saved because they are baby Christians and don’t have “HOT PASSION” for God like you may have. He wants EVERYONE to be saved (john6:40) and we can CHOOSE to serve him and receive him as our Lord (Joshua 24:15), but there is growing process (Ephesians 4:13) what you say only talks about duty out of fear NOT devotion for God, but with enough duty, devotion might follow (John 8:31-32), but without devotion it is only religion not relationship(Luke 10:41-42) like the Pharisees and seducees but God who started the good work in you will see to an end (Phil 1:6 & 1 Thes 5:24) because without the help of the Holy Spirit we can’t love(1 cor 8:1 & 1 cor 13:2 & 1 John 4:8 & mat 19:26) and know God (John 14:26 & Eph 1:17-19).
When you first believed and confessed (rom 10:9-10), you were born again by God into a new spirit(creation) 2 cor5:17 and the Holy Spirit dwells in you(1 John 4:18 & 5:1) You are saved, but there still need for sanctification(john17:17) and growing in faith, but God doesn’t really want you to live in fear (Luke 1:74).
God’s will is john6:40, 1 Thes 4:3, 1 Thes 5:16-24.
It is YOUR personal walk with God, but he never leaves you nor forsakes you (deut 31:8) do you expect same responsibility from a child as with an adult, but if you are a parent you would want your children to grow up, I think same with God, but everyone’s phase or spiritual maturity is different.
The way you become more devotional that I believe is by obeying the word of God like I mentioned above, and walk with God (reading the Bible, praying, and applying the word of God into your lives and see the fruit of it’s power in physical realm. Feat. Psalm34:8 & psalms 37:4& psalm 119) Also, by reading the Bible your understanding grows (1 Cor 14:20 & proverbs 9:10, Transformed - rom 12:2) and you start to think like him and see in his perspective (God’s- Phil 2:5) and you understand why he told you to do certain things that you didn’t know before because now that you’ve actually live through it and see the result of it, you WANT to live like that (feat. Deut. 28). And realize the Father’s love for us, that it was actually all for us and for his glory.
“And now, Israel, what doth the LORD thy God require of thee, but to fear the LORD thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the LORD thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul, to keep the commandments of the LORD, and his statutes, which I command thee this day for thy good?”
Deuteronomy 10:12-13 KJV
bible.com/bible/1/deu.10.13.KJV
“For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.”
1 John 5:3 KJV
bible.com/bible/1/1jn.5.3.KJV
“I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth; even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him.”
Isaiah 43:6-7 KJV
bible.com/bible/1/isa.43.7.KJV
“Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.”
James 4:7-8 KJV
bible.com/bible/1/jas.4.8.KJV
These verses are literally what brought me to tears and to my knees about 1 1/2 years ago and I still can’t read or hear them spoken without weeping. I was in a very bad place at that time. Jesus came to me in that moment and saved me and changed me. I will only need an eternity to thank him..
❤

I need nothing Because I have Jesus Christ in my life as I am absolutely nothing and can do nothing without him. Praise our Hevenly Father, Glory be to God and thank you Jesus.
Amen
I definitely misinterpreted this scripture in regards to hot and cold..
Bless you brother Voddie🙏🏾
Same
Me too
What he forgets to tell you is that all those 7 churches were destroyed just like Jesus said. So did Jesus come and destroy those churches back then like he said he would? Is Jesus a liar? All those 7 churches had to be dug out under 20 feet of MUD.
Such wisdom can only be given from the father in heaven himself - no doubt about it. This brother is a relief and a blessing.
Unless it's wrong, then this wisdom would be worldly wisdom, and not from God.

BezelT3 too!
I confess to God in my prayers that we study the Bible but so many people have to interpret it and many people disagree on meanings.
It’s not fair many will burn in hell for our intellectual shortcomings and our inability to understand scripture.
The Bible is not direct enough and this sends many people to hell through our misunderstanding of the word.
I ask God 8n my prayers that the Bible would be best served if there is one more testament of the Bible written called the ‘. Final Testament written in English and that Jesus appear during the Super bowl and speak audibly to the world. Too many people are guessing what is true in life.
Faith and understanding are two different things.
@@wheelie642 I think it would help, if we just understand the Bible how it's written and don't over-interpret everything too much. The Bible interprets itself through cross references within the text. Read Revelation in parallel with Daniel 7, for instance. That's a good start.
-wisdom- indoctrination
God revealed this to me and I started explaining it to believers. I’m glad you spoke on this! The cold was Good for drinking and the hot was Good for purification.
Praise Abba Father in Heaven, 30 years as a believer and was afraid that I was lukewarm.
Just a year ago now we were in Turkey, wading in the calcified waters of Hieropolis. Our guide mentioned that by the time the waters got to Laodicea it was no longer hot and was ineffective. The whole trip was a wonderful experience.
@charlene. . . . . . . some years ago, I spent a month touring western & southern Turkey, the many historical sites, tunnels leading to large underground communities many used to hide out, or the many amphitheaters & places Paul gave the Gospel message. . There are still many Christians there mixed in with Muslims. Hopefully Erdogan will not close the tourism in his quest to end the achievements of Mustafa Kamal .....Ataturk
I did a similar trip a couple of weeks ago. It was profound. Visited the 7 churches and Patmos.

And pastor Philip A Mitchell. Yeah it's a lot of false doctrine going around in these last and evils days. False teachers, and so called prophets who are deceiving. We need the Word of God
📣(3) THE GOSPEL OF THE WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD "the last age that Christ brought to purify man with His Word"
How God Manages and Administers the Spiritual World. ... 3. The Cycle of Life and Death of People Who Follow God
Almighty God said
NEXT is the cycle of life and death of SERVANT people. We have just discussed servants; WHAT IS THEIR ORIGIN? (Some are PEOPLE who DO NOT SPEAK, some are ANIMALS.) 😪
These SERVANTS are REINCARNATED--HUMANS from UNBELIEVING PEOPLE and ANIMALS. 🔴
WHEN the LAST PHASE of WORK COMES, GOD CHOOSES from among the UNBELIEVING PEOPLE a GROUP of such PEOPLE, and it is a GROUP that is UNIQUE. God's PURPOSE in CHOOSING such PEOPLE is for them to SERVE His WORK. "Service" is not a very pleasant word to hear, nor is it something that anyone can be dedicated to, but we must SEE for WHOM it is DEDICATED. 🔴
There is a UNIQUE IMPORTANCE in the EXISTENCE of God's SERVANTS. NO ONE ELSE CAN PERFORM THEIR ROLE, because they were CHOSEN by God, and on this THE SIGNIFICANCE of their EXISTENCE DEPENDS. And WHAT is the ROLE of these SERVANTS?
To SERVE GOD'S CHOSEN PEOPLE. 🔴🙏
Basically, their ROLE is to SERVE God's WORK, to HELP God's WORK, and to HELP God BUILD His CHOSEN PEOPLE. 🙏🌷
Regardless of whether they work, fulfill certain roles, or perform such duties, WHAT DOES GOD REQUIRE of these PEOPLE? He is too SERIOUS of His NEEDS of them? (He asks them to be faithful.) 🔴
SERVANTS also NEED to be FAITHFUL. Regardless of your ORIGIN, or why GOD CHOSEN you, YOU MUST be HONEST: You must be HONEST to GOD, in whatever God COMMANDS you, as well as in the work you are RESPONSIBLE for and the DUTY you PERFORM. 🙏
If the PEOPLE have the ABILITY to be FAITHFUL, and to FAIL God, then what will be their end? They can STAY. Is it a blessing to be a SERVANT who REMAINS? What does STAY MEAN? What does this BLESSING mean? In fact, they don't seem like the people CHOSEN by God, they seem strange. In REALITY, however, is what they enjoy in this life NOT the same as God's CHOSEN people? At least, in this LIFE it's just the same. 🔴
You will not deny it. Yes? God's utterances, God's GRACE, God's PROVIDENCE, God's blessings---who CANNOT ENJOY these THINGS? Everyone will enjoy such abundance. IDENTIFYING a SERVANT is a servant, but to God, they are one in the MIDDLE of all things He CREATED--as long as their ROLE is as that of a SERVANT.
So what do you say, as one of God's CREATIONS, is there a difference BETWEEN a SERVANT and God's CHOSEN PEOPLE? There is REALLY NO DIFFERENCE. If the CONVERSATION is in the NAME, there is a difference, there is a DIFFERENCE in the SPIRIT, if the CONVERSATION is in the ROLE they PLAY there is a DIFFERENCE, BUT GOD does NOT DISTINGUISH AGAINST them. 🔴
So WHY are these PEOPLE considered SERVANTS? You MUST UNDERSTAND this. THE WONDERERS COME from the UNBELIEVING. MENTIONING people WHO do NOT BELIEVE TELLS US that their PAST is BAD: They are all ATHEISTS, in their PAST they are ATHEISTS, they DO NOT BELIEVE in GOD, and they HATE GOD, TRUTH, and POSITIVE things . 😪
They do not believe in God and they do not believe that there is a God, SO do they have the ABILITY to UNDERSTAND the WORDS of GOD? It's fair to say that, for the most part, they have NO ABILITY. Just LIKE ANIMALS CANNOT UNDERSTAND HUMAN WORDS, SERVANTS do NOT UNDERSTAND what GOD SAYS WHAT He NEEDS, Why He MAKES such REQUIREMENTS---these THINGS are HARD to UNDERSTAND to them,They REMAIN UNEXPLAINED. 🔴
And for this REASON, these people DO NOT HAVE the LIFE we are TALKING ABOUT. IF there is NO LIFE, CAN people UNDERSTAND the TRUTH? Do they have the TRUTH? Do they HAVE EXPERIENCE and KNOWLEDGE of GOD'S WORDS? Certainly not. Such is the ORIGIN of SERVANTS.
But since God made these people SERVANTS, there STILL are STANDARDS in His REQUIREMENTS of them; they are NOT belittled, and He is NOT superficial to them. Although they DO NOT UNDERSTAND His WORDS, and are lifeless, God remains KIND to them, and still has rules in His requirements of them. You just said these rules: Being FAITHFUL to GOD, and DOING WHAT HE SAYS. 🙏
From "The Word Appears in the Flesh"
Fulfillment of (John 1:1) and (Revelation 18:9,13)
The Savior has returned and He or Christ has fulfilled His building of the kingdom/church on top of the rock or standing in the worthy holy place in the air/TH-cam! When He came He fulfilled what was prophesied in the book of Revelation and from there it is recorded that He changed a new name and the name of His city from ("THE CHURCH OF ALMIGHTY GOD" 💐) "The Epistle to the church of Philadelphia" "The one who overcomes is I will make a pillar in thetemple of my God, and he shall not be removed from it forever. I will engrave on him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem that will come down out of heaven from my God. I will also engrave him with my new name. (Revelation 3:12). ... "The Reign of the Prince of Peace" "For a baby boy is born and he will rule over us. He is the wonderful counselor, the Almighty God, the eternal Father, the Prince of peace." (Isaiah 9:6). ... "For the Lamb in the midst of the throne will be their SHEPHERD. He will lead them to springs of life-giving water; and God will wipe away the tears from their eyes." (Revelation 7:17).
"They said together, "Salvation comes from the Lamb, and from our God who sits on the throne!" (Revelation 7:10). ... So God's sheep and the right people He created have come to His holy city the New Jerusalem that will only last on earth for 1,000 years "THE CHURCH OF ALMIGHTY GOD"💐

I've been praying for deliverance from painkillers. I've been tapering for a while now and had a major setback when my doctor tapered my dose too much too quickly. My body went into shock, and I'm back up to a higher dose than I was at when he made the drop. I've also been praying for healing for the pain I'm on the painkillers for. Thank you for the encouragement to keep praying.
i got a deliverance decree you could say it out loud a few times and try some CBd or even medical marijuana its in the bible the eyesalve so weed heals its part of the annointing oil recipe Moses used.
Romans 8 deliverance decree
There is no condemnation to me i live in Christ Jesus and He lives in me
I walk in the Spirit of the Lord of Glory His face shines on me
He has made me free from sin and death
By sending His Son in the likeness of sinful flesh
So I could be spiritually minded in life and peace
The Spirit of God dwells in me
I please God by offering myself a living sacrifice to Him
My body is as good as dead because of being sick and sinful
But the righteousness of God covers me
The same Spirit living in me raised Christ from the dead
Shall quicken my mortal body by the Spirit in me (why you need to be filled with the Spirit its powerful)
I mortify the deeds of the flesh
No longer in bondage to fear i am adopted and a child of God i can call Him Abba
The Spirit of Jesus bears witness with my Spirit i am His child
I suffered with Him but it is not worthy or comparable to the glory of God in me
All creation groans and travails with me creatures suffered with us the earth groaned too.
We groan along with creation waiting for our bodies of death to be changed
We will all be delivered soon
God who searches the heart knows the mind of the spirit and makes intercession for us all according to the will of God
What can I say to such a beautiful gift? God is for me. Who can be against me?
He freely gave me all the good gifts i needed
Who can charge me with anything? God has justified me. Who can condemn me? Christ died for me nobody and nothing can separate me from Him
No tribulation, or distress, persecution, famine or nakedness, or peril or sword shall ever separate me from the Lord my God.
All day long i might be slandered, cast out, excluded, and killed like a slaughtered sheep
But in all this i am a victorious overcoming conqueror through Him who loves me.
I know no kind of doubt i can even muster up that nothing can separate me from His love. He has promised me.
I will live and die, but no evil angels, principalities, powers, nor things happening now, or in the past, nothing high, nothing low, no pit of despair, nothing will separate me from the Love of Christ Jesus.
I got this word of knowledge healing song for a blind homeless guy i pray for. Its a promise from God to heal him! From Isaiah 29. Holy double Glory to God! He gave me some powerful healing songs we can all sing them. Everybody needs to be healed like Israel when Moses took them out. Sing it over your sick people.
in that day
The deaf shall hear the words of the book,
and the eyes of the blind shall see
The lame shall leap like a deer
The dead in Christ (Isaiah 26:19)
will arise awake and sing
Together we will sing
Come out of darkness, and see
See clearly
Come listen to me
i have eye salve for thee
The afflicted and humble
shall rejoice in me
and the poor and needy man
He shall sing
with the Holy One
For the evil one is cast out,
And fallen
and the scorner is consumed,
Like the chaff and burned
and all that love sin and iniquity shall be cut off
“””That make a man an offender for the word,
and lay a snare for him that reproves in the gate,
and turn aside the just for a thing of nought.
Therefore thus saith the LORD, your God
If you trust and listen to me
You shall not be ashamed,
neither shall you be afraid .
You shall sanctify my name,
and sing with the Holy One
and shall fear God and glorify His name
What you didn't understand will be revealed
And you will learn sound doctrine and all be healed
By the dew of herbs
Thus says the Lord
This reminds me of the verse, “Give unto Caesar what is Caesar’s, give unto God what is God’s.”
It all belongs to God.

Wow...thank you Lord for the teacher and the teaching of your word. I pray it falls on good ground. That it may be taken out and spoken to others for the glory of the Father. Thank you, man of God!🙏🏾✝️👏🏾
Thanks Voddie for Always being truthful and never Compromising GOD'S Word. 😊 2 endure until the End. 🙏🏼👑🙏🏿💖⏳️⏰️🙌
Context is so key, Voddie is right.
Exposition is powerful here. It's the same thing where Jesus called the Samaritan woman a dog, the context was how the culture was back then, relating back to that. So the reader needs to understand context.
Wow praise God.
Context is key, so if that church was destroyed like Jesus said, that was him who did it in a day of the Lord event right? Look up the seven churches. Did Jesus come back then like he said he would (soon) or is he a liar
I love me some Voddie! Maybe not for hours, but his indepth and detail messages are worth paying attention to and explor yourselves. Good stuff!
We must deny self completely so we can depend only on Christ Jesus
I love the way he dissects the word, it makes so much sense.
SYSTEMATIC APOLOGETICS ✝️
This man's hermeneutics is spot on! 👊😄
So good! Historical context is so important when reading much of the scriptures.
Wow! I needed to hear this excellent breakdown of the spiritual condition of the seven churches! Simply Edifying message!
I thank God for you brother!
When teaching on the book of Revelation, it is of utmost importance to know the history of these seven churches or you will spiritualize all the texts and miss out on some rich literal meaning. I'm so blessed that a long time ago- I got a hold of John MacArthur's commentary on the book of Revelation, and he shares exactly what Voddie is saying here. These great Bible expositors are God's blessing to us for such a time! Always enjoy Voddie's teaching on anything in the Bible!
Agreed. And it's of utmost importance to know the cultural and historical context of the entire Bible. So many Western misconceptions arise from not contextualizing. The Bible was written for us, not to us.
@@FlyinBlind Yes! Just like Jesus' title "Son of God" and also "Son of Man." It is an Eastern culture title too!
The "Revelation" is a spiritual account. There is no literal meaning.
@@keithkahley So these churches didn't exist? And if I write a work of fiction, am I likely to use my own personal, social, and cultural references in that work? Extremely low resolution comment.
@@keithkahley In actuality, those seven churches have existed in every age and place throughout history. It's certainly real. And you seem to divide the spiritual and literal so completely as to say that one doesn't inform the other. If The Revelation doesn't do that, why write it? The literal (physical) and spiritual are inextricably linked. All day, everywhere around you. (Open the eyes of my servant, Lord....Elisha). Try to avoid simplistic, one-off comments.

Conviction and guilt are 2 separate different things. Many teachers today explain most of the NT legalistically, causing believers to stumble rather than empowering them to keep believing and walk humbly with our God, jesus Christ the LORD.
That was so eye opening...

❤ this pastor. Thankful to God for sending us such a fine teacher.
Thank you sir for your service. God bless and keep you safe.
I have never heard this explained in this way. Wow. Thank you for posting.
Thank you Pastor Bachman, thought provoking message! Amen
Thank you for helping understand this passage in a different light!
We are nothing without Christ Jesus what we have belongs to Him who gave it to us
Got a similar revelation a few months ago, thankfully the LORD has now confirmed it for me.
Cold water is refreshing, we are to be refreshing to one and other, including the unbeliever. We will be refreshing because of our kindness, generosity, love, compassion. You will know if a person is refreshing, when after you spend time with them you feel uplifted, energised, joyful etc.
Hot water drink like a soup, is full of nutrients and has significant healing power. We are to bring healing to each other, such as listening to each other, giving shoulder to lean on, helping one and other greive and most importantly, sharing Jesus. You will know you've encountered a Christian with hot water by their listening, gentle and soothing presence that feels like you are drinking a nice hot soup when you have a cold or sickness.
Lukewarm Christian is one who is neither. They do not provide any refreshments or revitalisation. Their presence, despite being Christian, is distasteful, bitter and unpleasant to be around.
Oh and, when the unbeliver keeps drinking our refreshing water that is our refreshing presence, they will ask...how is you do this. And we will say, thanks be to our LORD Jesus Christ. Come, meet him.
I have everything I need because I'm IN CHRIST and I love Him because HE first loved me! Jesus Christ is my ALL in ALL! Thank you MUCH, Pastor Voddie! You're a faithful servant of the Lord, a true Bible teacher! Jesus is using you to make clear about "knowing the works of Laodicea, that the assembly there was neither cold nor hot and were claiming to be rich, when they were poor & naked because HE was not with them!" God alone be praised!" ❤😊
That smacks so deep... absolutly love this message
Excellent word! Thank you my Brother!
Never heard the hot/cold teaching like that with the history that makes it clear. Thanks!
Thank you so much I use to think wrongly about this verse 💞🔥💞
I’m not even Baptist, it this a wonderful lesson.
WOW.....
Was not expecting that!
-sinner hoping ALWAYS for the mercies and goodness of Jesus Christ ❤️
God bless you brother for your wonderful teaching. We thank our Heavenly Father for His Faithfulness 🙏💖🙏
I take it as humility,we need to be humble.
Good word. 🙏
It's my first time to hear how these passages have been greatly exegeted WOW!!!!! again I say WOW!!!!
I differ from the self-reliance statement. Even if self-reliant, gratitude to God for allowing you what you have will keep you from self-contentment. This was also Nebuchadnezzar's sin that made him a beast for seven years. He was self-content, proud of his accomplishments instead of referring them to God's grace.
So good. Thank you, Sir.
Excellent! Thank you!
This shows how important it is to understand the geography and history and put it all together with the Word of God to know the context.
I absolutely love this explanation! This makes so much historical sense!
Good Word! Amen!
Well said and I also have never really understood this until now. Great teaching Voddie Baucham.
"Fun" fact: 'lukewarm' translated in Dutch is 'lauw', resembling the name Laodicea…
Wow thank you for this enlightening info
Thank you for explaining this passage. I don’t recall ever hearing a sermon on it!
Thank you Pastor for clarifying this verse. I've known that this didn't mean cold=bad and I've told people that this was a wrong interpretation because Jesus wants everyone to come to Him. He would never say that he would rather see you unsaved. No one listens. They don't argue but keep spouting the false teaching. Your message gives me a deaper understanding about the meaning of this verse that I did not have thank you.
I only heard this explained a few years ago... glad to hear Voddie sharing this. We need to dig deeper into the Word of God to understand it properly. :)
JESUS never said we could and we cant but he said he can and always would so let him do it. GOD BLESS YOU.
I could. listen for hours
Listen to the whole sermon. You can find it in the description.
Opposite of what I’ve been taught and it makes a lot of sense.
wonderful to finally understand this verse. Thank. You!
Thanks!
Thank you
I need Thee ev'ry hour, Most gracious Lord; No tender voice like Thine Can peace afford.
I need Thee ev'ry hour, Stay Thou nearby; Temptations lose their pow’r When Thou art nigh.
I need Thee ev'ry hour, In joy or pain; Come quickly and abide, Or life is vain.
I need Thee ev'ry hour, Teach me Thy will; And Thy rich promises In me fulfill.
I need Thee, oh, I need Thee; Ev'ry hour I need Thee; Oh, bless me now, my Savior, I come to Thee.
