Rev. 3:15, 16
When your hands are in the indifferences of this world, everything about them is chilly as a dislike, a cold wave that keeps coming in. You know how a cold wave feels the temperature is lower than normal body temperature. There are no feelings of warmth. Until we have lacking emotions or objectives, it’s hard to impress the Spirit, because he wants us hot or cold. Today, I want to talk to you about being cold. People that are not friendly are the apple of God’s eye.
So what if your personality is refrigerated, and the people that come around you, are they uncomfortably chilled? And water is turning to ice, perhaps there’s no enthusiasm in your marriage anymore, and you have become devoid of sexual desires. Maybe Jesus is making you cold; maybe Jesus is making a color that suggest little warmth; maybe Jesus wants you to appear as if you’re dead. To be dead in this world is to maintain a body temperature lower than average.
The water at the beach is cold, when you first get into it especially when a wave comes, but after a little the water don’t seem as cold as it was when you first got in. The water has not changed temperature, but our body temperature has changed. Jesus will change our body temperature, when we get into his will. We’re going to have to endure for a little while; don’t get out before the change comes, wait on the change: present your body as a living sacrifice; he wants you to be cold.
We are built to adjust to situations critical, quite trying to warm your own life, and just be who you are in the Lord. If you’re so intense as to be almost uncontrollable, you are in a position that Jesus was willing to give his life for. Let it pass your mind, about what others say about you, because you walk unfeelingly. Your hands can be so cold with Jesus in your soul, if you invite him in. Whatever you have done in the temperature, lower than normal, Jesus, still wants to come into your heart, he will.
As God changes the temperature, we change 37% of marriages are ending in divorce, because they are not waiting for each other to adjust. It takes a little while to adjust. Your husband or wife don’t go to church or read the bible, because they say church is boring or the bible is hard to understand. If you stay in the water long enough, your body temperature will drop, and everything will be alright. Everything will be alright because God knows how to change things. It’s alright being cold.
Which means, if we don’t maintain
a state of heartlessness in this world, you’re going to warm up. When we warm up, we do things that God doesn’t approve of, because we’re not letting his faith in us be the cleaning agent. That’s right! Cleanliness is next to Godliness. If you’re cold God wants to make an investment into your life. Be cold about what you do, because it’s the best you to find the Lord through his name.
There is no condemnation to those in Jesus. We are cold.
Lay hands on no man suddenly, because you might be laying hands on a snub, a cold - shoulder. Be careful for nothing in prayer and in fasting, because God loves these kinds of people, since they are cold, even though they might not serve the Lord as faithful as you and I, but God has a plan for people that are cold. David was cold, read about some of the things that he did, and the Lord was with him. If you’re not convinced in your heat that God rather have you cold.
You must be Lukewarm.
You cannot be hot and cold at the same time
Maybe God is not the make –up in your life like his use to be, there is a chance that you are straddling the fence. Jesus is your best friend, until the right people or person comes around. If you see this more than you see his identity. You probably need to get back on the straight and narrow, a road, a way of thinking. It will lead us unto the victory of Jesus Christ.
We need his victory; you want be able to share heaven with him without Jesus. Jesus is God.
God hangs around cold people, when he is hot, and he hangs around hot people, when he is cold. Either way God will accept you. The spirit speaks, and it says I wise that you were hot or cold, but if you Lukewarm, I will spit you out of my mouth. The make- up is, we have to choose if we are going to be hot or cold.
This is how Jesus wants us to be. This is the only way it’s going to work for you. Quit being a shame of what you are; just know that Jesus is all and all forever.
Self is cold; it wants you to think that this is your world, strange and dark.
A world that is lovable, until it is made angry. People like this don’t stop and stare at you.
They might be really good to you, but when they want to do something not even a cage has what it takes to keep them from getting out doing whatever it is. Unless you love the Lord, you’re not going to do things for him. He told us what to do in his word. When I’m cold, I do things better for the Lord, because I don’t care what others think about me.
God wants us cold; he wants to take that piece of self in all of us and adjust it
Jesus can cause us to hear things
Jesus can cause us to see things
Jesus can cause all sort of things to happen
Jesus can hurt us, comfort us, and reprobate our minds, if he wants too
Men’s heart shall wax colder and colder, even though that’s the way, Jesus wants it. He’s going to make us the way he wants us, and there is nothing anyone can do about it. When the clay is marred in the making of anything, the Potter must start over. And make it right. O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? Saith the Lord. Behold, as the clay is in the potter’s hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel. (Jeremiah18:1-6)
After we wax colder in these last days, Christians are going to start doing things that don’t look Godly, but it will be what Jesus wants. Have the love of Jesus in your heart, provided that you act cold to know, because there is no deficient warmth in our serves to the Lord. Quit holding your head down and acting with false meekness, as harmless as a dove, when you know that you’re cold. Have you ever thought that maybe God made you that way?
Jesus works on both sides
Jesus is the light
Jesus is in darkness
Jesus made it all
Love will make you cold
If your cold, you might be the one God wants to do something with, because you’re the way, he likes
If you’re tired of being Lukewarm, and looking over your shoulder, wondering what other people think about you. If you’re tired of condemning yourself about things that you do, when the lord has said to thee, thou sin be forgiven, and you’re having a hard time, believing what he says. I know you’re tired of being Lukewarm. Quit being somebody else, and be who God made you, and be happy. God wants us a certain way.
Don’t let the devil fill your heart with pride, a lukewarm way of thinking more highly of oneself. Be cold, be cold, and be cold in the world.
I want to thank Sermon central, and all those who read what the Lord causes to come out my heart.
If you’re cold or hot, and you would like to talk to me be at liberty to email me at
