Revelation 1-3 – Day 20

This sounds like good news for those who have not been taken in by Jezebel. God is telling us today that she was operating as a witch. That sort of person needs to be kept out of our churches. Because there are always vulnerable people who succumb to their temptations.

Revelation 2:24-25

Now I say to the rest of you in Thyatira, to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets, “I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.”

The Thought

That sounds like good news for those who have not been taken in by Jezebel. God is really telling us today that she was operating as a witch. That sort of person needs to be kept out of our churches. Because there are always vulnerable people who will succumb to their temptations.

The prize for those who use their Christian authority wisely there is an impressive reward. To the one who is victorious and does My will to the end, I will give authority over the nations (verse 26).

There is much in the Bible about the authority we have as practicing Christians, and many churches are teaching the subject of “the believer’s authority”. But sadly many are not.

When Jesus sent out his disciples on their first mission, He gave them the authority they would need. Here in speaking to the Thyatira church, that same Jesus gives that same authority to believers. Just as I have received authority from my Father. I will also give that one the morning star. Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches (Revelation 2:27-28). He gives that same authority to us today. Our choice is to use it or not!

Action

Read Matthew 10 today and note the orders that Jesus gave to His disciples. Some are really appropriate to our day, some are not! Be determined to share your faith in Jesus with someone new today.

Pray for yourself asking for conviction on just how you should pray when you pray for others.
