The Seven Churches: Thyatira

 

Write this to the angel of the church in Thyatira…

Revelation 218 

WHO IS SPEAKING:  The Son of God whose eyes blaze like fire and whose feet shine like the finest bronze – Jesus Christ.

WHAT IS GOOD:  God knows their love, loyalty, service and endurance, and that they are doing more now than they did at first.

WHAT IS NOT GOOD:  They tolerate “Jezebel,” a false prophetess, who deceives them into sexual immorality and idolatry. 

JUDGMENT: The judgments against “Jezebel” and her followers are severe.  God wants the churches to know that their deeds are as important as their words. For those who are not involved in sexual immorality and idolatry, God will place no further burden on them.   

REWARD:  The victorious will have power over the nations, and they will be given the morning star. 

LESSON:  Unfortunately, many people know how to talk the talk, but not walk the walk.  The way we live our lives is a testimony to what is in our hearts and minds.  Be sure that you are not all “talk” and no “do.”
