Message to 7 churches

What did Lord Jesus warn about in His revelation message to the 7 churches?

Each of the 7 assemblies had a way/belief in common in order to self justify their actions which Lord Jesus gave warning about, condemned and for which He gave command to 'overcome'.

Ephesus: they accepted the way fo the Nicolaitians ( which Jesus hated)

Smyrnea: they accepted the way of the Jews

Pergamos: they accepted teachings of Nicolaitians and worship of Balaam idols

Thyatira: they accepted the religion of Jezebel and idol worship

Sardis: their love for Jesus was dead...replaced by love for another way

Philadelphia: accepted the corruption of the Jewish religion (synagogue of satan)

Laodicea: accepted to be religiously self righteous

Each assembly had to justify their actions according to "their will" for their spiritual desires.

Each had to believe in their right to live this way.

Each had to believe that the 'Lord's way is not right'.

Each had to redefine these acts of disobedience as being instead wisdom in their own eyes.

Each had to claim the "FREEDOM" of religions for "their religion" .

Each had to embrace "FREEDOM" on their forehead and hand.

To each of the assemblies Lord Jesus said to OVERCOME.

...to overcome the way of self justified self-will to serve and magnify oneself, the way of the devil.

My will or to do the Creator's Will?

 John 5:30...Lord Jesus said...“I can do nothing on My own initiative. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is just, because I do not seek My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me."

Lord Jesus said "..I do not seek My own will...".

Judgement is just ONLY when it is done according to and in submission to the Will of the 1 Creator God, He Who is Good and Existence.
