Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because you allowed that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce My servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not. Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds. And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am He who searches the reins and hearts: and I will give to every one of you according to your works. But to you I say, and to the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you none other burden. But that which you have already hold fast till I come. And he that overcomes, and keeps My works to the end, to him will I give power over the nations: And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of My Father. And I will give him the morning star. He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

[Revelation 2:20-29]

So Whatcha Gonna Do?

Good Afternoon Beloved,

This is one of those days. I woke up thinking about so many situations that the saints of the most High God are dealing with. Some, granted we get ourselves into . Others just low-down sneak attacks from the enemy of our souls. What caught my attention in this verse was when He said,“..And he that overcomes, and keeps My works to the end, to him will I give power over the nations…”. That was interesting to me because looking at the nations right now, they seem to be in control of everything. This and many other passages of scripture, let us know that not only are the not in ultimate control, but what control they think they have will be given into our hands. Could that be the reason so many are ‘going through’ so much? Is it possible that we are in ‘boot camp’? Let’s say you owned and operated a Fortune 500 business. Would you turn over the reigns to your two year old? I hope not! But after they have matured and become educated, and you have worked with them that is a different story. When you see that their character has grown to the level where they will respect and build upon what you’ve done, then you could proudly turn it over to them. We gain invaluable insight with everything that we go through. We mature. We acquire more patience and become more gracious. We can choose to become better or bitter…. but the choice is ours. Remember, He said that NO good thing will he withhold from those who love Him.
