let us go to the best-selling book of all times the word of god itself the spirit of the word gives life revelations chapter 3 verse 1-6 amen amen amen love you too revelations three verse one through six y’all sound like you’re ready this morning here we get to read a personal letter pinned or actually articulated through the pen of john but they are the words of christ in resurrection to the church and sardis let us read together to the angel of the church in sardis write these are the
words of him who holds the seven spirits of god and the seven stars i know your deeds you have a reputation of being alive but you are dead yeah wake up strengthen what remains strengthen what remains and is about to die for i have found your deeds unfinished in the sight of my god remember therefore what you have received and heard and hold it fast and repent but if you do not wake up i will come like a thief and you will not know at what time i will come to you yet you have a few yet you have a few people yet you have a few people
yet you have a few people in sardis who have not soiled their clothes they will walk with me dressed in white for they are worthy the one who is victorious will like them be dressed in white i will never blot out the name of that person from the book of life but will acknowledge that name before my father and his angels whoever has ears let them hear what the spirit says to the church go back to verse one again for just a moment go back to the angel of the church in sardis right these are the words of him who holds the seven spirits of god and the seven stars
i know your deeds you have a reputation of being alive but you are dead go on wake up strengthen what remains not what you lost not what you hope to gain strengthen what remains look at your neighbor and say strengthen what remains go to john for just a moment after this you can sit the rest of the day you can sit all day amen we’ll get a chair and roll you out john 6 60 through 69 here we hear the words of jesus i will cross pollinate these two texts together that we might extrapolate from it a truth that the holy spirit has planted in my heart for you i have the sense in my
spirit that i am speaking directly and specifically to somebody’s life today and a bit prophetically as it were and god has used these two scriptures to cohabitate together to give an answer to something you have been praying about and if you will bear with me as i attempt to coordinate and knit the text together that we might have the profundity of thought to understand what god is saying at this moment and all of the noise that we’re hearing in the world today it’s coming at us through our phones it’s coming at us through our ipads to our television says we’re bombarded with opinions today
