The Gospel story. He wasn't famous there. First of all, the building
now, which was in Shiloh.

For I set my name at the first, and see what I did to you. And now,
because you have done all these works, saith the Lord, and I spake unto
you, rising up early and speaking, but you heard not. And I called you,
but you answered not.

Therefore, welcome to unto this place, wherein you trust, and unto the
place which I gave you. If I had cast out all your brother, and even the
host, you would have lived up there. Cry not.

Behold, your house, and verily I say unto you, shun not. But you know,
he says again, that you are not. Have you said no? Trust in the line of
the Lord.

And walk ye not. He was with God. But this being commanded by the Lord.

He knows what this is. But in Revelation chapter 2, there is a review to
these people. There is a review of the church one day.

A review of how they were strong in the church. And how God was praising
them for their strength. And then he is reviewing them, because they
have lost that first love.

In Revelation chapter 2. Remember therefore. Pour it out to the Father.
Or else it will never come.

He says, it can't happen. Do you understand? He says, he is not acting
like Peter. This is just judgment.

You can go to Damascus, and Capernaum, and all these things. But this
now happens. He, to him the overcomer, will I give it to you.

His overcomers. To those who once all have died. To those who are
willing to look at their own sins.

To those who are able to humble their pride. And let God take down our
self-pride. Our institutional pride.

Our denominational pride. Our theology pride. God will show us the good
point of our need to sing again.

And receive the healing. Justification of this blood. If we are able to
get to that point.

If we are able then to see that God wants to pour out his blood. That he
is willing. That God speaks to us.

That we will leave this place. We will go back to our local churches.
