Now on Rumble: Sardis—A Spiritual Heart Checkup
In this lesson we continue to study the Lord’s message to Sardis—A Spiritual Heart Checkup. The purpose of the Lord’s correction is to bring us to a point of self-examination. The standard for this review is the Word of God—the only true measure that does not change with the times or culture. Although Sardis was severely lacking in the Lord’s eyes, He dealt with them in a way that was meant to draw their attention to do a spiritual heart checkup. Here is an excerpt from the video transcript to encourage you to watch the video.
The Lord’s message to the Sardis church focused on the deadness of their spiritual condition. In this message (as in all of the seven messages) the Lord gave a heart check-up to these believers. As Head of the Church it was and still is His right and duty to evaluate the spiritual condition of the members of His Body. “But the Lord said to Samuel, ‘Do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature, because I have refused him. For the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.’” (1 Samuel 16:7, NKJV).
In Matthew, the Lord teaches that the fruit of the lips (one’s conversation or manner of speech) reveals the true condition of a person’s heart. Even practiced liars and pretenders in unguarded moments reveal the true nature of their hearts through their words. All evil begins in the heart (the inner man) and then is taken up by the mind and finally acted upon by the natural body.
I respectfully ask you to please watch and share this video. It is vitally important to share what the Holy Spirit is saying to believers in this hour. A simple share to one of the groups you subscribe to will do a lot to get the videos out.
In addition, I hope you will use the references below the video as a jumping off point for your personal study. The Spirit will guide you and lead you.
