Note:
This is a follow up email what I sent on my Salvation Beliefs. I wrote this when I was a CHRISTIAN MOTORCYCLISTS ASSOCIATION Chaplain. Again I must emphasis that when I see the Holy Spirit is working in a person, that person is in one of these churches. If a person wants the Holy Spirit reside in their vessel instead upon their vessel, and then I highly recommend they should become a member of the Philadelphia Church. They will wear Jesus’ new name when the there is a new Heaven and Earth. How to acquire the new name is by faith dying with Jesus and then you shall rise with Him in faith. This will happen when you believe in what Acts 2:38 says and do it!
Angels of the Seven Churches
6/10/2004
By Bart Henderson
Revelations
001:020
The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches.
002:001
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;
002:002
I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:
002:003
And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.
002:004
Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.
002:005
Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.
002:006
But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hate.
002:007
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.
002:008
And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive;
002:009
I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
002:010
Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.
002:011
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.
002:012
And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges;
002:013
I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.
002:014
But I have a few things against thee, because thou 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.
002:015
So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes, which thing I hate.
002:016
Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.
002:017
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.
002:018
And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass;
002:019
I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first.
002:020
Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.
002:021
And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.
002:022
Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.
002:023
And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.
002:024
But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you none other burden.
002:025
But that which ye have already hold fast till I come.
002:026
And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:
002:027
And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.
002:028
And I will give him the morning star.
002:029
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
003:001
And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.
003:002
Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God.
003:003
Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.
003:004
Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.
003:005
He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
003:006
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
003:007
And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;
003:008
I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.
003:009
Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie (a) ; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee (b)(c) .
003:010
Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
003:011
Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
003:012
Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God (d) , and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name (e).
003:013
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
003:014
And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;
003:015
I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
003:016
So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
003:017
Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
003:018
I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
003:019
As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
003:020
Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
003:021
To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
003:022
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
(a) Matthew 007:021-023 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
(b) Revelations 022:016, 017 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star. And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
(c) 1 Corinthians 006:002 Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? 006:003 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?
(d) Revelations 022:003, 004 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.
(e) Zechariah 014:009 And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.
(A very good verse to share!) Revelations 021:007 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
