Thoughts on Revelation 3 :15-16
”I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other!
So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of My mouth.”
I believe in these days the Spirit is speaking to many. He’s calling many home to Himself.
Some who were in a metaphorical ‘far country’ have come to their senses and turned around, seeking the place in the Father’s House that they left many years before. They will find and are finding Him running to meet them. Others (often who seem the most unlikely) are making that turn for the first time, and finding that the Saviour rejects no one who comes with sincerity.
Many others are hardened in their rebellion and rage, their words and actions revealing the wicked content of their heart. They refuse the claims of Christ and spit in His face.
But I think there’s a third group. Or at least what seems to be a third group. The fence sitters, the half-hearted, the lukewarm.
Beloved, Christ never speaks about a third group- with Him it’s sheep or goats, wheat or tares. You’re either His or you’re not.
This post is a gentle but sincere reminder not to try to sit on the fence, not to attempt to have a foot in both camps. It won’t work.
The fence belongs to the enemy.
“Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.
For I have come to turn “ ‘a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law—
a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’
”Anyone who loves their father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; anyone who loves their son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.
Whoever does not take up their cross and follow Me is not worthy of Me.
Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for My sake will find it.”
Matthew 10: 35-39
“choose this day whom you will serve…”
