The Living Dead
Revelation 3:1 “And to the angel of the church in Sardis write,‘ These things says He who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars: “I know your works, that you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead.
The promise Jesus gave before He ascended to heaven was that the Father would give the Holy Spirit. Jesus was led by the Spirit. The church must be led by the Spirit. Every church would say they are alive, walking after the Spirit. Yet the reality is vastly different. This church said they were alive. They would remember previous acts of God and live currently off those. God desires our relationship to be alive, active, fresh as we seek Him daily. Saying we are alive in Jesus and actually being alive in Jesus are often two separate things. I can appreciate a denominations rich spiritual history yet that doesn't always carry over to how those in that denomination currently live their lives. If you find yourself as Sardis, thinking your alive yet the proof of your walk is dead works, listen to Jesus' words here. Ask the Holy Spirit to fill you, lead you.
