Transcript

Good morning. Welcome to this episode, this teaching, this message that the Lord has for you today. I'm Tammy Toney-Butler, Healing Evangelist. And on behalf of Lord Jesus, welcome to this time that we have together as we look at an Obedient Ear of Faith: A message to the Church. God has a message for his people. Today. And I'm his messenger. He's chosen to deliver it. Oh, Holy Spirit, have your way in this time that we have together. May they see you and not me. May they hear you and not me. May my words be given as you'd have me give them. May ears be open to hear, spiritual eyes to see. May the truth be revealed in this episode of Reflective Spaces Ministry podcast. We're going to dive in today. to scripture. I've made a PowerPoint, I should say, with the help of the Holy Spirit to deliver his message to his people. As we see an obedient ear of faith, a message to the church. Holy Spirit, help this to resonate in their hearts as you speak your truth to them, your rhema words of truth mixed with your logos. Oh God, help us as a church, as a body of believers, to hear your intended message. in this teaching that you've created. Glory be to Jesus. Amen. An obedient ear of faith, a message to the church. So let's look in Scripture. Who had an obedient ear of faith? Who acted when God called them? even if it seemed crazy. But you know, you heard a word from God in the Holy Spirit. You knew you were to do something. Did you wait? Or did you immediately obey? Waiting is rebellion. We're not to have rebellion. We're to submit and surrender to the Lord Jesus Christ and His will, not our own. Are you surrendered? Are you submitted? Are you hearing with spiritual ears? Are you hearing with the world's ears? That's the question God has for you today. are you hearing through your spiritual ears is your heart guiding you raise your flesh this is a season of an awakening of those with an obedient ear of faith like Abraham like Noah like Moses, like Ruth. And of course, the most obedient of all, even unto death, was Jesus. Jesus. Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, bore every strife, every beating, shed blood for us, his bride. He was obedient to the will of Father. Are you obedient? Are you like Abraham? Let's look at Genesis, twelve, one through four out of the amplified version. Abraham journeys to Egypt. Now in Haran, the Lord had said to Abram, go away from your country. and from your relatives and from your father's house to the land which I will show you. And I will make you a great nation and I will bless you abundantly and make your name great, exalted or distinguished. And you shall be a blessing, a source of good to others. And I will bless which do good benefit those who bless you. And I will curse that if subject to my wrath and judgment, the one who curses or despises or dishonors as has contempt for you. And in you all the families, nations of the earth will be blessed. So Abram departed in faithful obedience. As the Lord had directed him, and Lot his nephew left with him, Abram was seventy-five years old when he left Haran. You're never too old to be used by God. You're never too old. Now let's look at Noah. When you look at Genesis six, and the entire story of Noah, And I'm not going to read it for the sake of time. But read in Genesis six and about Noah. He built an ark. From the specifications of the Lord to the teeth. Because he did that, he was saved. And his family. Are you obeying God's by way of His Holy Spirit? Is He calling you out of a location, out of a city, and saying, move, bring your family, let me protect you? Or are you in rebellion? And we're in rebellion. We can open ourselves up. To not coming under the protective covering of our Lord Jesus. Because we're not following him. Rebellion is a sin. And we're following the world. We can't partner with sin. We have to call out sin. Jesus loved the sinner, but not the sin. You're to walk in obedience this season. Church, you must, you must listen to the promptings of the Spirit so that you can be protected from what's coming. For we all know there's darkness in the world. We are called to be the light, the light of truth, the light of truth, the light of truth. Let's continue. When we look at Moses, numbers twenty seven to twelve and Exodus thirty three, one out of the amplified version. So numbers twenty seven, twelve out of the amplified Bible. Then the Lord said to Moses, Go up to this mountain, Nebo, in the Abram range, and look at the land I have given to the sons of Israel. He had a direct command. Go up to this mountain. Many of you are being commanded by our Lord and Savior, by way of the Spirit of Christ, His Holy Spirit, to do things. But are you delayed? Delaying due to finances? Delaying due to family commitments? Put first the kingdom of God and all else shall be given unto you. Exodus thirty three one of the Amplified Bible. The journey resumed. The Lord spoke to Moses saying, depart, go up from here. You and the people whom you have brought from the land of Egypt to the land which I swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, Israel, saying to your descendants, I will give it. See that the Lord spoke to Moses saying, depart, go up from here. He was speaking. Moses had an obedient ear of faith. And he went. You have to obey in this season, even if you can't see the end. Even if you have no idea, that's what faith is. Faith is walking in the invisible. It's not seeing and not knowing it in the natural, seeing it first. No, no, no. You have to walk it out in faith first. You have to step. The man with the withered hand had to reach it out for healing. The woman with the issue of blood had to grab the hem of his garment. You have to follow and obey this season. It's vital to your walk as Christians. To our walk. as Christians, as believers, as a body under the head, which is Christ. For he's coming for his bride. We must be ready with oil in our lamps. Ready to do his will above all else. Let's keep reading. Now when we look at Ruth, I love Ruth. Ruth one, fourteen to eighteen. And then Ruth two, eleven to twelve out of the Amplified Bible. So first Ruth one, fourteen to eighteen out of the Amplified Bible. Then they wept aloud again and Orpah kissed her mother-in-law goodbye. But Ruth clung to her. Then Naomi said, look, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and to her gods, plural, turn back and follow your sister-in-law. But Ruth said, do not urge me to leave you or turn back from following you for where you go, I will go. And where you lodge, I will lodge. Your people will be my people and your God, my God. Where you die, I will die. And there I will be buried. May the Lord do the same to me as he has done to you. And more also, if anything but death separates me from you. When Naomi saw that Ruth was determined to go with her, she said nothing more. That's obedience. She trusted the God of Naomi and went to a foreign land and was used mightily by God. Let's keep reading. Ruth two, eleven to twelve out of the Amplified Bible. Boaz answered her, I have been made fully aware of everything that you have done for your mother in law since the death of your husband and how you have left your father and mother and the land of your birth and have come to a people that you did not know before. What courage. May the Lord repay you for your kindness and may your reward be full from the Lord, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge. When you obey, you are protected under his wings. You have refuge from the storms of life. You have refuge. You have refuge. Now, let's look at Jesus. Oh, let's look at Jesus. Matthew twenty-six, thirty-six to forty-two out of the Amplified Bible. The Garden of Gethsemane. Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, also known as like the olive press. Wow. And when you press olives, they get crushed, right? How many of us have been crushed? Grapes, grapes get crushed. And he told his disciples, sit here while I go over there and pray. And taking with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, James and John, he began to be grieved and greatly distressed. How many of you have been grieved and greatly distressed? And you heard the whisper, knowing you were being asked to do something that was so powerful for the kingdom of God that you had a hard time even believing. and your flesh wanted to scream. But you're to subdue your flesh. Your flesh is not to guide you. You have to put it under submission, under the authority of the spirit. You have to let the spirit guide you. The spirit is life. You have to subdue the flesh so the spirit can grow in you and move in you freely without hindrance. You have to truly die to your old self to flesh. And let the spirit rise up and seek out that spiritual food that sustains you in that relationship with Abba Father, Lord Jesus Christ, by the way of the Holy Spirit, Spirit of Truth, Spirit of Christ. Then he said to them, my soul is deeply grieved so that I am almost dying of sorrow. Many of you It felt like you've been dying of sorrow. Many of you have lost loved ones. You've lost a way of life. You've lost your material possessions. So many things. But to die is gain and to live is Christ. Stay here and stay awake and keep watch with me. Stay here and stay awake and keep watch with me. Make sure you're not sleeping. on the watch this season. You need to be praying like never before. You need to use your sword like never before. We have the authority as believers. Walk in it. Walk. And after going a little farther, he fell face down and prayed saying, my father, if it is possible, that is consistent with your will let this cup pass from me yet not as I will but as you will that's what we have to say but not as I will but as you will we have to let go of ourselves deny self and say yes to the spirit guiding us and leading us And he came to the disciples and found them sleeping and said to Peter, so you men could not stay awake and keep watch with me for one hour. Keep actively watching and praying that you may not come into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak. We have to be watchful and pray. We have to pray. We have to be intercessors. so that we will not succumb to temptation or the testing that's coming to the body of believers. He went away a second time and prayed, saying, My Father, if this cannot pass away unless I drink it, your will be done. Your will be done. Now that's obedient faith. That's having the obedient ear of faith, which means it's faith in action. When you hear the whisper, even if you don't understand and you know that knowing, that internal compass that's due north, true north, then you need to act. You need to act and you need to move. This is the season to move. This is the season to awaken to the voice of God, church, to the spirit moving in the church. Let the spirit lead the assembly, not timetables, not schedules. Let the spirit flow freely and move in the assembly. And the awakening will come. And revival will come. That's the message I have for you, my sheep. Are you listening? Listen. Listen. Let's keep going. Genesis six, nine. Amplified Bible. These are the records of the generations. Family history of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, one who was just and who had right standing with God, blameless in his evil generation. Noah walked, lived in habitual fellowship with God. We're in an evil generation, just like the days of Noah. You have to keep watch. You have to keep watch. You have to be in constant fellowship. In a relationship with Jesus. Lord Jesus. A relationship where you sit still. You wait on him and that voice to guide you. That compass, that note. That only Lord Jesus can bring. Matthew eleven fifteen. Amplified Bible. He who has ears to hear, let him hear and heed my words. He who has ears to hear, let him hear and heed my words. This is a message for the church. It's a warning. We must heed it. We must heed it. We must heed it. Now when we look at Revelation three six, The Amplified Bible. The message to the church of Cyrus. He who has an ear, let him hear and heed what the Spirit says to the churches. There it is again. He who has an ear, let him hear and heed what the Spirit says to the churches. I think we need to take notice how many times it's mentioned in scriptures. He who has an ear to hear. Do you have an obedient ear of faith, church? You must awaken. I implore you to awaken. I implore you to awaken. I implore you to awaken. Revelation three, thirteen, the amplified Bible, a message to the church of Philadelphia. He who has an ear, let him hear and heed what the spirit says to the churches. There it is again. He who has an ear, let him hear and heed what the Spirit says to the churches. Next slide. Revelation three, twenty-two, amplified Bible. Message to the church of Laodicea. He who has an ear, let him hear and heed what the Spirit says to the churches. Do you think a point is being made here? We need to listen. We need to obey. We need to wake up from the spirit of slumber and the spirit of deception that's running rampant in the church. Wake up, wake up, wake up. He who has an ear, let him hear and heed what the spirit is saying to the churches. Galatians three, five out of the Jubilee Bible, two thousand. He therefore. that gives unto you the spirit and does works of power among you, does he do it by the works of the law or by the obedient ear of faith? Let me read that again. Galatians three, five, Jubilee Bible, two thousand. He therefore that gives unto you the spirit and does works of power among you, does he do it by the works of the law or by the obedient ear of faith? Galatians three, five out of the message Bible. Answer this question. Does the God who lavishly provides you with his own presence, his Holy Spirit, working things in your lives you could never do for yourselves, does he do these things because of your strenuous moral striving or because you trust him to do them in you? Wow, that's powerful. Galatians five, one out of the amplified Bible walk by the spirit. It was for this freedom that Christ set us free, completely liberating us. Therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery, which you once removed. Let's look at that again. It was for this freedom that Christ set us free, completely liberating us. We have completely been liberated because we're in Christ. We wear Christ as a garment. We're clothed with Christ. Therefore, keep standing firm and do not be subject again to the yoke of slavery, which you once removed. Don't have one foot in the past. It takes two feet to be present in today and to step into all God has called you to be. Get out of your past, out of the old you. Step into the new you. Step into the new season. This is your season. This is your year. This is the year of the church. This is the year of the bride. This is the year. This is the year. This is the year. Get ready. Get ready, get ready, get ready. This is our year. Use your authority, church. Pray without ceasing. Know that I'm with you. I will never leave you. I will never forsake you. I see your suffering. I see your tears. I'm with you. You're infirmary. I came to give you life. By his stripes, you were healed. Sickness is not our portion. Poverty is not our portion. God is a God of abundance. Bountiful blessings of love, of freedom, total freedom. And peace is the greatest thing that we have. That was the greatest thing that God gave me when Jesus set me free was peace. It was the greatest thing. And I owe him my life. I owe him my life. And I give him my life. And I'm obedient with an obedient ear of faith. I have to follow where he's leading. I have to go where he's sending me. I have to speak his truth. How can I not? He gave me life. He gave me abundant life. He set me free. of addictions that I used to cope with the shame, the guilt, the fear, the regret, the icky, the weight of the trauma in the aftermath of childhood sex trafficking. Losing my father to suicide, and we're burying him on Father's Day when I was a teenager. But I lost him to Vietnam before that, the war. He came back, but he wasn't the same. And he too coped through various addictions. and he ended up losing his battle with complex trauma. My mom died early from generational trauma and my baby sister just passed away from trauma and complications from an evil that came to her door and she didn't choose it. She was so strong and courageous even to the point of her death. I've lived this people. I'm trying to call you out of bondage. I'm trying to warn you. I'm trying to be a message, a light in a dark world. Heed the warnings. Heed the warnings. Heed the warnings. Galatians five, six, the amplified Bible. Walk by the spirit. If we are in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor earned circumcision means anything But only faith activated and expressed and working through love. And faith activated and expressed and working through love. An obedient ear faith that you hear it and you can't not act. You have to go. You have to birth it. You have to birth the promise. You have to birth it. The ministry, whatever it is he's calling you to, you have to birth it. He will provide, but you must act this season. You must act this season. You must act this season. And show his love to a world so in need of a Savior. Glory be to Jesus. Galatians five, thirteen of the Amplified Bible. Walk by the Spirit. For you, my brothers, were called to freedom. Only do not let your freedom become an opportunity for the sinful nature, worldliness, and selfishness. But through love, serve and seek the best for one another. Let me read that again. For you, my brothers, were called to freedom in Christ. Do not let your freedom in Christ, I'm adding in Christ, become an opportunity for the sinful nature, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eye, the pride of life, worldliness, selfishness, this prosperity gospel that overtakes people. You believe that material possessions mean more than peace and love. joy for your fellow man and for yourself. That's the true blessing that we have in Christ Jesus. We let go of everything and we say, we put first the kingdom of God. Heaven invades earth and we walk in our authority. And we call the things that we know are God's will into existence as his body, as having the keys of the kingdom given to us, as his reigning authority on earth, as it is in heaven. Use your keys, use your sword. Serve through love. And through love, serve and seek the best for one another. Are you your brother's keeper? Are you the keeper for the refugee, for the migrant? For the widow, for the orphan, for the oppressed, for the marginalized, the victimized. Are you speaking out for God's people? Are you rising up and saying no more, no more, no more? Enough is enough. I will not stand for this counterfeit gospel that sows seeds of hate, racism, and marginalization. I will only stand for freedom. I will only stand for love because that's the Jesus I know. That's the Jesus I know. That's the Jesus I know. He breaks the yoke of bondage off of people. He doesn't put it on people. He breaks it off. He doesn't put it on. He's not calling us to go back to Egypt. He set us free. And he who the Son sets free is free indeed. Is free indeed. Is free indeed. Is free indeed. Is free indeed. It's free indeed. It's free indeed. Walk by the Spirit. Galatians five, fourteen of the Amplified Bible. Walk by the Spirit. For the whole law concerning human relationships is fulfilled in one precept. You shall love your neighbor as yourself. That is, you shall have an unselfish concern for others and do things for their benefit. walk by the Spirit. For the whole law concerning human relationships is fulfilled in one precept. You shall love your neighbor as yourself. That is, you shall have an unselfish concern for others and do things for their benefit. Self-denial. Purging you of self. Purging you of me. I had to purge myself of me. I had to die to me and to myself so Christ could reign in my heart. Christ could live and I could have that obedient ear of faith that he's calling me to this season and you to this season. Glory be to Jesus. Galatians five, fifteen amplified Bible walk by the spirit. But if you bite and devour one another in bickering and strife, Watch out that you, along with your entire fellowship, your church congregation, your fellowship, are not consumed by one another. The body of believers. We are the church. It's outside the four walls of the building. Make sure all of us are unified as a body of believers in Christ Jesus. As long as we're preaching Christ, we need to be unified as one this season. Corporate prayer, becoming one, walking in alignment, walking in all God has for us, walking in that obedient ear of faith so that we can fulfill our kingdom assignments and bring the kingdom to earth as it says in heaven. For the millennial kingdom is here. It's in our hearts. We carry it in us. Jesus is in us. Rain. Rain. Rain. But if you buy and devour one another, no more gossip, no more bickering, no more devouring our fellow brothers and sisters. There's no race or creed. There's no gender. There's no one that is out of the reach of Lord Jesus, his love, his redemptive love, his restoration and his healing. Don't judge. We're not the judge. We're to show love, humility and grace to our fellow man. We are to resemble Christ. As he walked the earth. And he's walking it today in each of us. As believers. As the bride. As the body. He's alive. He's innocent. Show him all. Show him all. Show him all. Show him all. Proverbs twenty-five, eleven to thirteen. As a good news translation. An idea well expressed is like a design of gold set in silver. A warning, and now we're going to move to twelve. A warning given by an experienced person to someone willing to listen is more valuable than gold rings or jewelry made of the finest gold. A warning given by an experienced person. I'm giving you a warning. I've lived this. I've overcome by the power of my testimony. By his mercy and his grace and his hand upon my life. I walk in his freedom. I walk in abundance. I walk in his truth. I walk with an obedient ear of faith. He directs every step I make. Every word I speak. He's calling you to that. He's calling you to more. He's calling you to move from milk to meat this season. To grow in spiritual understanding. Thirteen, a reliable messenger is refreshing to the one who sends him like cold water in the heat of harvest time. Like cold water in the heat of harvest time. It's harvest season. It's harvest season. It's harvest season. We need to wake up as a church, as a body, and remember that it's harvest season. It's harvest season. We need to look at Revelations three. I'm going to read it out of the Amplified Bible. I'm going to dissect it a little bit as the Spirit guides me. He has a message for you. This church, he has a message. We can let scripture interpret scripture. A message to Sardis. To the angel divine messenger of the church in Sardis write, these are the words of him who has the seven spirits of God and the seven stars. I know your deeds. You have a name, reputations. that you are alive, but in reality, you are dead. Wake up and strengthen and reaffirm what remains of your faithful commitment to me, which is about to die. For I have not found any of your deeds completed in the sight of my God or meeting his requirements. So remember and take to heart the lessons you have received and heard. Keep and obey them and repent. Change your sinful way of thinking and demonstrate your repentance with new behavior that proves a conscious decision to turn away from sin. New behavior, an obedient ear of faith that leads to action. I added that last part, of course. Picking up now that we're reading scripture. So then if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief and you will not know at what hour I will come to you. But you still have a few people in Sardis who have not soiled their clothes that is contaminated their character and personal integrity with sin. And they will walk with me dressed in white because they are worthy righteous. He who overcomes the world through believing that Jesus is the Son of God will accordingly be dressed in white clothing and I will never blot out his name from the book of life. And I will confess and openly acknowledge his name before my Father and before his angels, saying that he is one of mine. He who has an ear, let him hear and heed what the Spirit says to the churches. Now the message to Philadelphians. And to the angel, divine messenger of the church in Philadelphia writes, These are the words of the Holy One, the true one. He who has the key to the house of David. He who opens and no one will be able to shut. And he who shuts and no one opens. I know your deeds. See, I have set before you an open door which no one is able to shut. For you have a little power and have kept my word. and have not renounced or denied my name, take note. I will make those of the synagogue of Satan who say that they are Jews and are not, but lie. I will make them come and bow down at your feet and make them know without any doubt that I have loved you. Because you have kept the word of my endurance, my command to persevere, I will keep you safe from the hour of trial, that hour which is about to come on the whole inhabited world to test those who live on the earth. I am coming quickly. Hold tight what you have so that no one will take your crown by leading you to renounce the faith. He who overcomes the world through believing that Jesus is the Son of God, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God. He will most certainly never be put out of it. And I will write on him the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which descends out of heaven from my God and my own new name. He who has an ear, let him hear and heed what the Spirit says to the churches. Now the message to Laodicea. To the angel, divine messenger of the church in Laodicea write, these are the words of the amen. He trusted and faithful, the trusted and faithful and true witness, the beginning and origin of God's creation. I know your deeds, that you are neither cold, invigorating, refreshing, nor hot, healing or therapeutic. I wish that you were cold or hot. So because you are lukewarm, spiritually useless, and neither hot nor cold, I will vomit you out of my mouth, rejecting you with disgust. Because you say, I am rich and have prospered and grown wealthy and have need of nothing. And you do not know that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked without hope and great need. without hope and in great need. Remember, those are the sections that continue to elaborate on the previous words. I'm reading out of the Amplified version. I counsel you to buy for me gold that has been heated red hot and refined by fire so that you may become truly rich. and white clothes representing righteousness, to clothe yourself so that the shame of your nakedness will not be seen, and healing salve to put on your eyes so that you may see. May we have eyes to see. Those whom I dearly and tenderly love, I rebuke and discipline, showing them their faults and instructing them. So be enthusiastic and repent. Change your inner self, your old way of thinking, your sinful behavior. Seek God's will. We need to look inward. We need to look inward. Behold, I stand at the door of the church and continually knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, restore him. Remember, all you have to do, he's knocking. You just have to say yes to Lord Jesus. Invite him in to the door of your heart and he will restore you. And he with me. So if anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, restore him. and he with me. He who overcomes the world through believing that Jesus is the Son of God, I will grant to him the privilege to sit beside me on my throne, as I also overcame and sat down beside my Father on his throne. He who has an ear, let him hear and heed what the Spirit says to the churches." that's what he's saying to the churches that's what he's saying and now as we get ready to conclude I'm going to look at the life application study bible the king james version and there's the the letters to the seven churches and remember the church at ephesus In Revelation two, one through seven is discussed hard. They were commended for their hard work and their perseverance. But they also received a review because they do not love as at first. They've forgotten their first love, Christ. Their calendars, their agendas have gotten in the way. They haven't allowed the Spirit to move in the assembly. They've forgotten their first love. Remember and repent. I'm not going to save you. Jesus is. The power of God that's in me. I need you to see Jesus, not me. Church, we need them to see Jesus. Not the pastors in the pulpit. Not the evangelists on television. We need them to see Jesus and his spirit needs to move. Spirit needs to move. Spirit needs to move. And remember the church at Smyrna in two, eight to eleven is the reference. They received a commendation. They suffered persecution and poverty. They had no rebuke. And the action is don't fear and be faithful. Don't be afraid. Perfect love casts out all fear. We have Jesus. We don't have to fear anything. As long as we have an obedient ear of faith, he will guide us and protect us. And we are tucked under his wing of protection. We seek refuge in him. Remember, we wear Christ as a garment. We're his temple. We're wearing him. So we're clothed in Christ. Christ is victorious. He wins over evil. We don't need to fear. Oh, no, no, no, no. We need to walk in our authority as believers. Pergamos, two, twelve to seventeen. Their combination, they were true to faith. Their rebuke, they tolerated compromise. They need to repent. We can't have any compromise. That doesn't mean we don't show love to the sinner. How else are we going to carry the gospel to them, the good news? If we're serving up judgment and a judgmental attitude, no. We have to have the heart posture of Christ. We love the sinner. That doesn't mean we love the sin and we call out the sin. If it's wrong, it's wrong. I mean, I've sinned. I've committed horrible things and done things. That didn't mean it wasn't a sin just because I did it. I had to face it. I had to look inward and say I was sinning and I had to repent. I had to turn. I had to ask for forgiveness. Then Thyatira, two, eighteen to twenty-nine. Commendation, love, faith, and service. Rebuke, they tolerated immorality and they need to repent. We have to repent of immorality. Sexual perversion. Dancing to bail. Dancing to bail. Dancing to bail. We have to repent of worshiping idols. What are idols? We worship material possessions. Fame. Wealth. Power. Prestige. We put our reputations and our careers before God. Nothing can come before the None. We can't make people idols. We're placing people on pedestals, political leaders on pedestals. We're serving them up like their God. There's only one God, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our precious Lord Jesus. We don't serve man. We don't serve man. We don't wrestle against flesh, remember, but evil, principalities and powers, evil in high places. It's not flesh that we wrestle with. Sardis. Reference three, one through six. Revelation three, one through six. No commendation. They were superficial. They had soiled garments. They had a reputation of doing good, but were infested with sin. They look good on the outside, but they were corrupt on the inside. They need to wake up and repent because they were spiritually dead. We need to pray for the awakening of the dead church. This is the season I decree and declare that the dead church awakens to the light and love, the truth, the healing power of Lord Jesus Christ. Philadelphia, reference Revelation three, seven through thirteen. They were faithful. They had no rebuke and they were told to hold on. You're being faithful. You're a faithful remnant. You're pure, holy in an unholy world. You see darkness everywhere. You think that it's going to consume you. I'm telling you, hold on. He's coming for his bride. Hold on. Hold on. Have daily repentance. Recognizing that you miss it daily. Repent and maintain your purity. Cleanse yourself daily like it says in Psalm. Keep yourself close to Jesus. Surrounded by his love. His protective wing. He will cover you. He will protect you. His blood covers you and protects you. He sees you. He commends you for being strong, maintaining your purity despite the temptation and the testing. Hold on. Hold on, church. Hold on, faithfulness. Hold on, believers. Stay strong, rooted in Yes, spiritual warfare can be great, but he's greater. He's bigger. Focus on the victorious Christ Jesus. Focus on the victorious Christ Jesus. Focus on the victorious Christ Jesus. Laodicea, three, fourteen to twenty-two. They had no commendation. They were lukewarm. They needed to be earnest, And repent. They needed to be earnest. And repent. This is the message. That he has for you today. His church. His body. Of believers. It's time for you to repent. Of losing your first love. Your relationship with Jesus. Letting him guide your worship services. Not theology, but relationship. Love that heals. Love that breaks the yoke of bondage off. Love that brings revival. And it starts in the heart of God's people as they show his light and love to a world that's dark. Don't be dark. Be light. Be the word of truth. Glory be to Jesus. Father, bless them and keep them this day as this word settles in their heart, marinates, is cultivated, and grows into a tree of life that branches out to nations, to the world. Glory be to Jesus. Glory be to Jesus. I'm Tammy Toney- Butler, Healing Evangelist. That's his message for his people, for his bride, for his church. That's his message for you. Remember, he loves you. And I love you. Draw strength from his peaceful well of promise. Drink of his living water, never to thirst again. Eat of his tree, of his bread of life. You'll never hunger or thirst again when you drink of the kingdom of God. Put it first and all else shall be given unto you. All else shall be given unto you. All else shall be given unto you. And Father, before I close, I want to impart the seven spirits of God and highlight them to the faithful remnant, the body, that's ready to receive them. I call forth the spirit of wisdom, the spirit of counsel, the spirit of knowledge, that healthy fear of the Lord, knowing His might, obey. When you fear the Lord, you have to obey. You have to have that obedient ear of faith. You have to carry out what you heard. I call forth the spirit of might, that holy boldness for your church, your body, O God. I call forth the spirit of understanding. And more important, may the spirit of Christ, the Holy Spirit, dwell within you. May you speak in tongues, utter spiritual truths. Know that he's with you. Pray with authority and be guided by the light of truth, the candlestick of truth. The lampstand of truth. This season. Glory be to Jesus. Glory be to Jesus. That's his message. He has for you. The sheep of his pasture. Go and prosper. Let this word. Penetrate bone and mare. And step into all. He's called you. This season. Glory be to Jesus. Glory be to Jesus. Glory. May it create new pathways of opportunity. And may it bring about a global awakening in the church. Bask in his presence. Glory be to Jesus. I never want to close out a message or anything until his presence is lifted off of me and he's given me a release. And right now I don't have a release to let you go. Some of you need to be filled back up. You need fresh oil. Drink. Drink from the well. Fresh oil. Fresh oil. Drink of his peace. That peace that surpasses all understanding. That healing. I feel the healing anointing. If you need healing in your body, claim it. Claim it now in the name of Jesus. Healing in your finances, claim it now in the name of Jesus. His presence is so thick. Lord, bask in him. Thank you, Father. Thank you, Holy Spirit. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Holy Spirit. Glory be to Jesus. Thank you, Holy Spirit. Thank you, everybody watching.
