Thyatira 5
Notwithstanding I have a
few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman
Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to
seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things
sacrificed unto idols. Rev 2:20
"... to teach and
to seduce my servants to commit fornication...." How many of us
would allow ourselves to be taught to commit fornication?
No really!
In the literalist religion world so many
think fornication is sex before marriage.
I was there once until I read--->As touching the Gentiles which believe, we have written and concluded that they observe no such thing, save only that they keep themselves from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from strangled, and from fornication. Acts 15:20,29:21:25)
I knew in my hEARt fornication was NOT what religion taught and when I stepped up to understand fornication I got attacked by religion because I was taking the eyes of many off sex and seeing it as spiritually!
So back to "... to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication...." and understanding what it means to commit fornication.

Fornication is when the soul (mind/heart)
seeks satisfaction from without instead of from within.
In a nutshell the soul's attachment to the lower emotions and flesh are more important and desired than to the higher.
The mixing of thoughts or as the Apostle James by the Spirit said--->Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. James 4:8
AND what is this double minded one showing forth? PRIDE! Yes pride as in "my choice, my will, my way"
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh come on now.
Pride is when one lifts their thoughts above the Word of Life and acts according to those thoughts as if they are right!
We now must put on the mind of Christ and NOT give in to our pride which comes from our own senses!
Idolatry is a common practice among humans. It stems from belief systems based on personal thoughts and feelings. Sometimes these thoughts and feelings are upheld from the act of literalizing spiritual-allegorical religious texts, where dogma and doctrine form the backbone of our God-notions, and more importantly, what we must do to please God.
Now I know that is a mouthful ... Just feel some need to hear from a mouthful.
To the one that hears the mouthful is the one that needs to be not a surface reader but a ear hearer!
Look at this verse--->Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. 1 Cor 6:19
Fornication is when one operates from the carnal mind rather than the Christ mind!
"...and to eat things sacrificed unto idols ..."

"...and to eat things sacrificed unto idols ..."
Again ..... the literates minded one will
think of food that was offered unto some god and won't eat it =(
Truth be .... the false thoughts that one allows into their heart/mind to rule over the Word of Life is but IDOLS!
How many times have we put our trust into what we thought and it did not work out as we thought it should ..... idol!
How many trust in worldly riches? Ohhhhhhhhhhh
How about how many trust in what a religious leader says rather than the Word of Life?
In a nutshell ... to sacrifice to idols is to give one's will to the lie and act out the false belief of that lie. It is to mix the carnal thoughts with a lie and to call it truth.
How many you know still allow themselves to be ruled over by religious lies calling the lies truth!
Being the over-comer of "Balac" who taught lies to keep the soul the servant to the lower nature now come unto "Jezebel" who also teaches the soul by emotions to be a servant to the lower nature.

How many religious services have you
attended where music and dancing is used to get one emotionally
involved? Or the famous sermon that is used to break down one's
emotions so that they would say some prayer to ask God/Jesus into
their hearts and maybe some water available!
Far to long my soul has been under Jezebel, and in doing so the Word of Life was NOT MY Lord!
