Smyrna 1

And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive; ... Rev 2:8

ALL GLOW-RAY unto Our Light, Life and LOVE.

Smyrna .... Truth welcomes us to Smyrna which means 'Myrrh.' Now 'myrrh' was used for embalming and an oil for anointing which was presented to the child in the flesh (Matt 2:11) and to the one IN the grave (John 19:39).

Myrrh is indeed a double sided coin, but it is one coin with one purpose!


The voice that was DEAD and is ALIVE!  ahhhhhhh Smyrna .... a city that was destroyed (DEAD) and rebuilt again (ALIVE).

And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam a quickening spirit. 1 Cor 15:45 (was made is added  to the verse).

For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. .... Luke 15:24 (Psssst Look in the mirror of Truth and behold the son that was dead and lost).

Before moving on we MUST see that
Smyrna has NO rebuke from the Word of Life, ONLY encouragement for the disciple to move ON!

I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich)  ... Rev 2:9

Let us see and KNOW that tribulation has great importance to the disciple in their journey to the throne room.

Without tribulation one would NOT have oil for oil comes forth by pressing (tribulation).

No longer on the path of self, but placed again on the path of the Shepherd.

Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Matt 7:13,14

The pressing only comes about to them that hungry and thirst after righteousness.

Ohhhhhhhhhhh many will say "LORD ... LORD" .... But few will be chosen!

The chosen are they that are on the journey to the throne room rather than they who abide in the carnal minded desires and lusts.

Yes ... I skipped "works" and I did that for I feel it will need a moment on its own so that one will know the Truth--->For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

Poverty, is not being in need of something .... Poverty is losing much in the world because we are on a journey to the throne room.

I know thy ... poverty, (but thou art rich)  ... Rev 2:9

There was a time I tell myself and anyone else listening that I would NOT deny the Word of Life.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh hmmmmmmmm wonder which disciple said that and saw the wrong action!

After sometime I saw I was nothing more than a word person, rather than a action person. To be a action person means to act from the hEARt and that action is what will make one RICH!

He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God? Micah 6:8; Pro 4:23

I have met many that acted from the carnal mind and much harm came forth.  I don't hold any ill towards them, but know I saw so I can be matured in this journey to the throne room!

"...and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan."

Ready to allow Deep to take your hEARt deeper into Truth?

Jews ..... what is a Jew?

Now I know in this world today we have an nation where many dwell that call themselves Jews. HOWEVER--->For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

In a nutshell ... A Jew is not one that follows opinions/beliefs of others (letter) but one is a Jew INWARDLY.

Why?

A Jew of the lower nature (carnal mind) is one that judges others by moral laws (religion/doctrines/beliefs/opinions). That type of Jew is not yet made free from the moral laws and as so goes about talking the walk rather than being set into the walk by the Truth!

In a nutshell "... Jews of the external (body) symbolize religious thoughts and the Jews of the internal symbolize spirit awareness."

I have encountered may that were Jews of the external and was one at one time.

Now let us NOT point fingers at religion .... Let us understand Truth--->Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world: But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. Gal 4:1-8

Satan .... Ohhhhhhhhhh yea I know some bells and whistles just went off when the carnal mind read "SATAN."

What does the Word of Life have to say concerning 'Satan?"

But he turned, and said unto Peter (Soul servant to lower nature), Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men. Matt 16:23

S
avourest ... Savourest implies one prefers a lie over the Truth! It is one who is asleep (dead) to the Truth (Life).

So the false Jew is one that is of the lower nature (synagogue of Satan) and NOT ONE CIRCUMCISED BY THE Spirit to the higher nature!

The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. Our fathers worshipped in this mountain (synagogue of Satan); and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. .... But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.

God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship in spirit and in truth. John 4:19-24

A Jew is one that is is made WHOLE and upon the altar of their hEARt is their soul. The false Jew is guilty of blasphemy because they refuse the Word of Life to lift them to the higher state of BEING!

So the blasphemous Jew is one that talks the walk but does not WALK THE TALK!

To worship LOVE is to worship WITHIN! One that walks the talk no matter what tribulation comes their way!
