By His death and resurrection, Jesus obtained the gift of the Holy Spirit for every one of us who are His disciples. Receive Christ’s Spirit who dwells in us and fills us with power for living!

In order to receive this gift:

1) We must repent & believe in Jesus Christ as Lord

2) We must surrender to Jesus Christ and confess Him publicly (Baptism is the formal public confession).

A message from the series “Revelation.” v.19 ‘Those who I love I rebuke and discipline.’

Main Point:
The Risen Lord Jesus Christ urges us to examine ourselves to see if we are lukewarm in our commitment to Him. We must move from delusion to dependence on Him!

1. The Indictment – vv.15-16 ‘You are lukewarm (neither hot nor cold) – I am about to spit you out of my mouth.’

2. The Delusion – v.17 “I am rich – have need of nothing’. Jesus says, ‘you are wretched, poor, blind, and naked.’

3. The Cure – v.19 Repent – turn from these and receive true riches from Him.

How do we receive true riches from Christ?

In so doing we open the door of our hearts that He might come in and be hot – on fire in us!
