HE KNOWS YOUR WORKS

REVELATION 2: 1 - 2a

WHILE THE ENTIRE BURDEN OF THIS MESSAGE IS NOT ON THE OUTLINE, IT IS MY PRAYER THAT THERE IS ENOUGH HERE TO ENCOURAGE YOU TO KEEP FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH

WE UNDERSTAND THAT THE BOOK OF REVELATION IS AN APOCALYPTIC WRITING

OFTEN WE THINK THAT THIS ONLY DEALS WITH CHAPTERS 4 THROUGH 22, BUT WE FORGET THAT CHAPTER TWO AND THREE ARE APOCALYPTIC AS WELL

IF THERE EVER WAS A TIME THESE CHAPTERS SPEAK VOLUMES IT IS TODAY

CHAPTER TWO AND THREE SPEAK DIRECTLY TO THE MODERN DAY PASTOR

BEFORE I READ MY TEXT I WANT TO ASK YOU TO NOT ALLOW YOUR MINDS TO RUN AHEAD OF ME

I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS NOT ANY VERSE I COULD USE THAT MOST OF YOU HAVE NOT PREACHED FROM BEFORE MUCH BETTER THAN I EVER WILL

I DON’T COME TO YOU AS A DENOMINATIONAL SUPERSTAR, BUT AS A FELLOW LABOR IN CHRIST JESUS

BUT I FEEL THAT I HAVE A WORD FROM THE LORD FOR YOU TODAY PASTOR THAT COMES DIRECTLY FROM THE HEART OF GOD

Revelation 2

Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks; 2I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience,

THE FIRST POINT I WANT TO MAKE IS TO WHOM THIS LETTER IS WRITTEN 1Unto the angel of the church

THIS WORD ANGEL ALSO MEANS MESSANGER, PASTOR YOU ARE GOD’S MODERN DAY ANGEL TO HIS CHURCH

YOU HAVE THE RESPONSIBILTY TO HEAR THE VOICE OF GOD AND TO PROCLAIM THE WORD OF GOD TO YOUR CHURCH

THE LORD WANTS YOU TO KNOW TODAY 2I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience,

PASTOR HEAR THE VOICE OF GOD TODAY HE KNOWS YOUR WORKS

IN A DAY WHEN SO MANY PASTORS ARE BECOMING DISCOURAGED AND LEAVING THE MINISTRY THE SPIRIT OF THE LIVING GOD IS CRYING OUT TO HIS ANOINTED HANG IN THERE I AM WITH YOU

RECENTLY MY WIFE CAME HOME FROM A LADIES CONFERENCE WHERE THEY PULLED THE PASTORS WIVES ASIDE TO MINISTER TO THEM PRIVATELY. SHE HANDED ME A HAND OUT THAT WAS GIVEN TO THE PASTORS WIVES, AND I WAS SOCKED AT THE HIGH % OF PASTORS WIVES THAT FELT THAT THE WORST DAY OF THEIR MARRIED LIFE WAS THE DAS THEIR HUSBAND ENTERED THE MINISTRY

ANOINTED OF GOD HERE THE HEART OF GOD TODAY THE LORD KNOWS WHERE YOU ARE 13I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan’s seat is:

HE KNOWS RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE AND THE STRUGGLES THAT YOU FACE

HE SEES THE SPIRITUAL ATTACK YOU ARE UNDER, HE KNOWS THAT FORCES OF EVIL THAT ARE AGAINST YOU

PASTOR YOU ARE NOT THE ONLY ONE FACING THESE STRUGGLES, MOST EVERY PASTOR IS FACING THINGS THAT A FEW YEARS AGO THOUGHT THEY NEVER WOULD FACE

HE KNOWS thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:

THOSE WHO SAY THEY ARE FOR YOU – THEY SAY THEY ARE ON YOUR TEAM – BUT THEY HAVE PROVEN TO BE LIARS – ALL THE WHILE THEY HAVE A HIDDEN AGENDA

THEY TELL YOU THEY HAVE YOUR BACK, BUT YOU HAVE FOUND THAT IT IS SO THEY CAN FIND THE PLACE TO PLACE THE DAGGER

REST ASSURED DEAR PASTOR GOD IS THE RECORD KEEPER, HE IS THE ONE WHO REWARDS ACORDING TO THEIR DEEDS

PASTOR THE LORD SAYS 2: 9I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty,

I AM HERE TO TELL YOU PASTOR GOD KNOWS HOW YOU HAVE GIVEN ALL YOU HAVE FOR HIS WORD

THE LORD KNOWS YOUR HURT AND FRUSTRATION THAT YOU CANNOT HAVE A PRIVITE LIFE BECAUSE OF THE DEMANDS OF MINISTRY

HE KNOWS THAT YOU OFTEN FEEL TRAPED BY THE SACRIFICES THAT YOU ARE MAKING

THERE IS NOT ONE COPPER PENNEY THAT GOD WILL NOT REPAY YOU MANY TIMES OVER

HEAR THE WORD OF THE LORD and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.

THOSE WHO SAY THEY ARE GOD’S CHILDREN, BUT IN FACT HAVE BEEN PROVRN TO BE OF THE HOUSEHOLD OF SATAN

HE KNOWS THAT YOU hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.

THESE ARE THOSE WHO WORK TO BE CLEAVER IN THEIR ACTIONS, TRYING TO SEE HOW CLOSE TO THE EDGE OF SIN THEY CAN WALK – AND THEN TEACH OTHERS TO DO THE SAME

10Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer:

THE LORD WANTS YOU TO KNOW THAT HE HAS EVERYTHING UNDER CONTROL
