Full Transcript

I know your works that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot, so then because you are lukewarm and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of my mouth. I know your works, whose works? The church of the Laodiceans, the apostate people, the people, the church that is living in denial of her beloved Jesus.

He says to the church of the end of times, 21st century, our time. He's talking to us now, the Lord. That's scary, isn't it? Yeah, I can tell you, Jesus can be very scary, my darling.

Yeah, it's not a joke. Don't take him as a joke ever. He's saying, I know all your works because I'm God.

Nothing is hidden from me. You may be seen as a pope, as a patriarch, as an archbishop, as a bishop, as a leader of the church before the world, but for me, I know all your works. You are neither hot nor cold.

Your deeds are neither hot nor cold. I wish if you were either hot or cold. Why? Hot means if you were really close to me, if you really loved me fervently, I wish.

And also I wish if you could not have been hot, at least I wish if you were able to be cold. But since you are neither hot or cold, cold means distant from God. Hot, close to the Lord.

Cold, distant from the Lord. He said you are neither close nor distant. You've chosen for yourself to be a lukewarm.

A lukewarm, meaning neither hot nor cold. You mix the hot with the cold, it came halfway. Lukewarm, you have a dead conscience.

Hot, your conscience is on fire for the Lord. Cold, your conscience is frozen for the Lord. But lukewarm, your conscience is dead.

When Cain was able to kill his brother Abel, when Cain was able to kill his brother Abel, the only way he was able to kill Abel, because he killed his conscience. When any, when any human being are able to kill their conscience, they will do everything evil under the sun. Everything evil.

And they will not even blink twice about it. They will throw in a party after killing so-and-so. But the problem, the Lord is talking to the church, not to the corrupt governments.

He's talking to the church, not to the Freemason. He's talking to the church, not to Bill Gates. Not to the Rothschild.

He's talking to the church, for God's sake. The only place where the conscience should be alive is the church. Now he's saying we've got a problem.

In the end of times, the 21st century, the conscience of my church is a lukewarm. Dead. He says, because you've become a lukewarm, I'm about to vomit you out of my mouth.

Now that's a very dangerous statement from Jesus Christ, who is God revealed in the flesh. Now the one who's talking is God. You know what I mean by God? He is the amen.

He is the faithful. Meaning, whatever he says, he's not going to change his mind. He's not going to go back on his word, because he is God.

And God knows what he's saying, before he even says it. And the moment he says something, it is forever. There is no comeback.

He says, if you do not wake up to yourself, I'm gonna vomit you out of my mouth. Now, when somebody, I'm sorry, but this is what's written here. When somebody vomits, do you think they go back and eat what they vomited? Only the dog does that.

Did you know that? Out of all the animals, only the dog eats its vomit. Meaning God, whatever he says, he's not going to take it back. And if God says, I'm going to vomit you, meaning I will reject you forever.

Because since I'm God and my word is forever, when I say it, there will be no comeback, you leader. So are you going to come back and be warm, hot again? Are you going to come back and at least, if you can't be hot, at least be cold, so I can warm you up and make you hot for me? Otherwise, if you don't repent, I'm going to vomit you. I will reject you forever.

I'm not going to go back on my word. What did the Lord Jesus say about the parable he gave in Matthew 25, about the 10 virgins, the five wise and the five unwise. When the unwise came and knocked at the door and they said, Lord, in your name, we preached, in your name, we did this and this and this.

He said, away with you from me, you evil doers. I do not know who you are. He has vomited them out of his mouth.

He rejected them. He said, go to hell, the place that was prepared for Satan and his fallen angels. My goodness, what a loss.

Apparently, in God's intentions, hell was only made for Satan and his fallen angels. Hell was never made for no human being. So when a human being, and more so a Christian human being, ends up in hell, there is no vacancy for you, my darling.

No room for you in hell. Your place was in the Father's house, up in heaven, not in hell. So you're going to go into a hotel with no vacancies.

So you're going to share the same room with Satan. Good luck to you and to your family. Satan has already had it and you're coming and making it more squashy for him.

He's going to get all his venom out on you. The Lord says, repent, otherwise I'm going to vomit you out of my mouth. I will reject you.

But look at this. Verse 17, because you say, oh my goodness, isn't it our time and age? Unbelievable. Do you know who wrote this book of Revelation? John the Beloved, the youngest disciple of Christ out of the 12.

And the last one who departed from this world at the age of around 100, 105 years of age. He was sentenced in exile into this little island in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea called Pedmos, which is in Greece. He wrote this around 100, 105 AD.

He wrote this book. We're living now in the 2022 and we're talking about our sweetheart John Owen. He's writing about the 21st century and you're telling you there is no God.

How did this guy know in a little island in total seclusion with no internet, no Facebook, no nothing, no TikTok, nothing, none of that. Well, they keep on bringing out new names. We lost track.

TikTok, I don't know. If it wasn't God revealed to him what's going to happen in the end. Why am I going to vomit you? Why did you end up being lukewarm, neither hot nor cold? Because, verse 17, because you say I am rich.

Well, that's the whole problem. The church today is saying we are rich. We got the power.

We got money. We got the throne. We are God on earth.

We are the thinker of Christ. We are Christ on earth. Good on you, mate.

Let's put the prawns on the barbie. I'm talking about myself as well. I'm not judging.

This is the church. This is all of us. But more so the Lord points his finger at the leaders more than the sheep, the followers.

He points his finger at the shepherds. When he came over 2,000 years ago, he embraced the sheep. He told off the shepherds.

He called the shepherds sons of a snake, broods of fire, of viper. You are nothing but broods of viper, sons of the snake. But with the followers, with the sheep, he embraced them.

Today the Lord is angry with the shepherds more than the sheep. When a church leader says this is okay, what are the sheep going to do but say, yes me Lord. He knows more than me.

Looks like he's in contact with Jesus all the time. But he's not. He's not.

He's in contact with Satan, not Jesus. He sold Jesus for 30 pieces of silver because he said you are rich. You're rich, eh? How many billions have you got in the bank account? How many properties do you have? Well, we built buildings out of brick and mortar and we forgot how to build people for Jesus Christ.

When a homeless person walked through the church, we kicked him out because I'll benefit nothing out of the homeless. He is a liability, not an asset. I need to spend money on this homeless.

I need to feed this homeless. I need to clothe this homeless. He is no use of me.

I need to be associated with those big caliber boys, prestigious dinners. Shame on such leaders. Shame.
