Every woman on this planet should listen to the series ‘The Proverbs 31 Woman’. I just listened and it has changed my life. When I began to listen, I told God I am so far from this kind of Godly woman. I wanted to turn it off. But the Lord kept pushing me on! I now understand it is about the hidden man of the heart (1 Peter 3:4). The inner man. A meek and quiet spirit. One who isn’t easily provoked to anger. They will put up with injuries done to them and not retaliate. Quietly submitting all to God. Believing others better than herself (Philippians 2:3). This has not been my nature. As I always have been a fighter. Believing I had to fight for my rights. To keep people from trampling on me! Now the Lord says give that up! Stop fighting for yourself and fight for me! Fight the good fight of faith. 1 Timothy 6:12. Let me give you a meek and quiet spirit which is in my sight a great price. This is the whole adorning of a Proverbs 31 Woman. The outward beauty is esteemed by men but the inward beauty is esteemed by God! Thank you for posting this most excellent series! I have now listened many times. Every time hearing and learning more of what God’s stated word says about becoming a Godly woman!  Amen!” Karen Cochran

WHY ARE WOMEN SO UNDER ATTACK IN THIS LAST HOUR BEFORE CHRIST’S RETURN?

The reason women are so under bombardment, unrelenting attack from the enemy of souls, is due to the power of a God fearing woman!

God fearing women are pleasant, full of the love, joy, and peace of God (Galatians 5:22-23). They are the LORD’s treasure and consequently an inestimable blessing to all. Proverbs 31. Nothing replaces a God-fearing woman.

“In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; 10 But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works. 11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. 12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. 13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. 15 Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.” 1 Timothy 2:9-15

Ladies, if you don’t view your marriage as your place to humbly, quietly SERVE God by serving your husband and children, you are out of His will and in need of repentance. One pastor said “Women have the highest place in Christ’s kingdom – servant” (Matthew 23:11). Read, pour prayerfully over Philippians 2:3-5 each morning this week. Cry out to God to break you to the core of your being. Let it be dear LORD, in Jesus’ name. It’s time to get down low beloved of God… go deep into the death of Christ that He might raise you upward in His grace and for His eternal glory! HE is able! We must do things His way and no other – the way of the cross (Luke 9:23-24).

“I listened to the Proverbs 31 women series and I’m touched. Thank you for your ministry.” T.

“WOW!!! This series is EXCELLENT!!! I just finished part 3 on the Proverbs 31 series; that is EXCELLENT teaching and… my-my-my, you have really hit it on the nail about churches allowing self-proclaiming Jezebel in (pastors wife, prophetesses, intercessors, garbage, etc). It’s an excellent teaching that really exposes how apostate “churches” are! This series is an answer to PRAYER because I had been asking God to direct or connect me to this very thing. I’ve got to start reading my King James Bible now. I’ll be starting part 4 this evening. Powerful truths in this series that I’ve NEVER heard in any church, but it’s all King James Bible truth!” A. (More comments from listeners below)

The virtuous woman takes good, loving care of her husband, children, and is very industrious. In Proverbs 31 we see she sold real estate, made clothes (textiles) etc. She is a magnificent creation of a great and loving God – for HIS purposes and not her own.

“Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.” Proverbs 31:10

There is nothing in God’s creation so beautiful as HIS women, the virtuous woman. Why would any dear lady want anything less? 

The content of this video addresses our Maker’s original purpose and blessing of the female. This is a refreshing and yet resolute exploration and declaration of God-fearing womanhood that has and is transforming lives. The godly woman is irreplaceable. Satan knows this and from the Garden of Eden till today, unceasingly seeks to derail women with an alternate, iniquitous, rebellious image of what God has designed and ordained for women. Any woman not pouring prayerfully over Holy Scripture concerning the LORD’s purpose, design, mandate and will for women, is completely deceived and the prey of the wicked one.

God ordains that women are to be protected under the servant leadership of Godly men.

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THIS SERIES:

“I have enjoyed listening to this.” Penny

“We love this podcast!” (From a lady who serves in a ministry group to incarcerated women, etc.)

I’m currently listening to this series. I love it. There are lots of gems that I can apply to my own life that I did not know before. Everything mentioned is backed up with scriptures…. (later) Loved the Proverbs 31 podcast series. A must for every woman.” Maureen Lundie

“Awesome I think God is getting ready to move on a Bible study in my home. I’m praying that He sends the right women and this Proverbs 31 audio series is what I’m going to use to help us be what The Lord created us to be biblically! Your ministry is such a magnificent gift and blessings to my family! I’m praying my daughter joins in this study.” Cassandra

EXCELLENT and beautiful truth that was well said. Sad to say we don’t see enough of this truth due to the loss of reverent fear of God in the churches due to pride. That overflows into marriages, and the children seemed to had to pay the price for this lack of obedience. Thanks for posting this!” Nancy Cote

I’ve been listening to these podcasts all week, love this teaching, even sent it to another friend.” Laurie Cox

I just finished listening to your audio on women who fear God, Proverbs 31 Women. Amazing! How the devil keeps women in bondage to the lie that he tells us! So glad I listened again. This is so helpful and freeing. Keep standing your ground. God is in this mightily.” CB

“Hallelujah I got to listen to your podcast on the Proverbs 31 virtuous woman ???❤️❤️❤️❤️! What a wonderful magnificent blessed gift of God to be a virtuous woman”” Cassandra

“This series was a real blessing. It was an excellent teaching. Honestly, it changed my life and my marriage. Now I realize many of the problems in my marriage were actually being caused by my not being fully submitted to God’s Word in this area. I have always sought to please the Lord, but we are unable to do that unless we are willing to deny ourselves and heed the full counsel of God’s Word and sound instruction. After completing this series on the family, Jezebel was broken in me! I wept for days in repentance and sorrow for my sin. I had a renewed sense of purpose and regained the joy of my calling to being a godly wife, a mother and a keeper of the home. Praise God!!!! Our mother’s sold us into the slavery of feminism and the lie of seeking self-esteem instead of the Savior and we as women who fear God are having to break free from these false gods of self. The Lord is able to deliver if we will simply humble ourselves, listen, and obey.” S.T.


“This teaching is very good. Great to know you’ve got a backbone. Great truth that the family came before the church. The family is our greatest ministry.” Jeni N.


“This is so good!!” Gina Mondello


“God is so kind and merciful, brother, it’s beyond adequate words, I cannot fully express his kindness and mercy towards me, a sinner. I used to have a horrific… and I mean HORRIFIC Jezebel spirit in my life… and I made my married life miserable. I admit it and I’m so sorry I did! It was in 2008 that God opened my eyes to Jezebel and I repented… and in the process I had to apologize to my husband several times and remind him several times that he leads this family with Christ as his head. It’s a process… and God has done a lot of cleaning inside me… it’s not over, but I have to tell you… our married life is running so much better now! It is very relaxing and enjoyable.” A.


“This is a needed message and right on the mark. Listening was time very well spent. Thanks.” Chris S.


“It’s wonderful.” Gayle


“You have just freed me of my role in the woman’s place in the Church.” Carol B.


“Very good teaching!!” Stephanie P.


“It was such a blessing to listen through – Very good study! Fresh inspiration and encouragement! It made me very happy to hear the truth of the Word and also God’s heart behind it being expressed! (Oh how that can drastically change the view when that is understood!) I also appreciated the balance of the message. It reveals the wicked woman’s ways. It causes God fearing men and women alike to tremble at the thought of ever being ensnared by the likes or ever becoming like her! To my joy and inspiration, you were very expressive of God’s heart about godly women also! How encouraging it was to hear the godly woman spoken of so lovingly and her nature and works so esteemed, making obvious that she was considered as equally valuable and loved. Yet, not changing her role to try to prove it.” Michelle M.


“People don’t know what “shamefacedness” is anymore. I had to look it up, myself (in summa theologica). But it’s really based on fear of God; fear of disappointing Him by allowing immoral thoughts or deeds (or perhaps the perception of them, of being identified with them) in our lives. The ability to blush. An innocence of heart that wants no part with evil.” Jane Clark


“Excellent. What a wonderful encouragement to women today who don’t hear this Scripture taught and don’t see much of it lived out around them. We are blasted on every side, and at every turn, by the world and its ways of thinking which are NOT according to God’s Word and will … and therefore are Antichrist. God has called us to “come out from among them” (2 Corinthians 6:17). Christ is our only true “Liberator” and has set us free from the bondage of darkness — Satan and his power that is so evident in our world today — to embrace fully all of what God created us for and who He calls us to be.” Debbie L.


“This podcast changed my life. I realized I am not naturally a Proverbs women. And need to be taught by the Lord. The only way to become a Proverbs 31 woman is to be totally surrendered to Jesus. It’s about the hidden man of the heart. 1 Peter 3:4. The inner man that only God can change. The Lord can give us a meek and quiet spirit. Total opposite of my nature. As I learned while I listened to this podcast.” Karen Cochran

The Communication of Thy Faith

Excerpt from the book Revolutionary Evangelism

“That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.” Philemon 1:6

Is God concerned how much we sweat or hurt ourselves in order to communicate His truth? I think not. I believe that He is simply desirous that we communicate His Word, no matter what available legitimate method(s) we might choose. The key in the LORD’s economy is “the communication of thy faith.”

Captured in the verse below, seems like the beloved Job is referring also to the refreshment that comes from opening our lips and testifying of our LORD’s great goodness!

“I will speak, that I may be refreshed: I will open my lips and answer.” Job 32:20 

With this truth in mind does it not behoove each and every believer to find ways to confess Christ to others who need Him?

OSWALD J. SMITH stated: ”For more than thirty years I have prayerfully considered the problem: How can we evangelise the world in the space of one generation? I do not believe we ever can send out enough missionaries; but there must be a way. After travel and study in fifty-three countries, I have come to the conclusion, the only way we are going to be able to carry out the Great Commission – ‘Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature’ (Mark 16:15) – will be by means of the printed page.”

The end is near. What seed have you sown to reach the lost? What will you tell the Master in the end about how you spent your life on this earth (the life He gave you)?

“I believe our Gospel literature is having a greater impact for Christ on Africa than the coming of five thousand new missionaries.” Dr. Guy Playfield – Sudan Interior Mission

For nearly 500 years now, Gospel tracts have been used to reach the lost with the message of the Good News. No doubt that salvation tracts, also referred to as Gospel or silent messengers, are ordained by God as one of the primary methods/tools to evangelize the world.

“Unquestionably the most economical and effective method of world evangelism is the printed page. Ninety percent of the reported conversions to Christianity in Latin America are the result of sound Gospel literature. One good Gospel tract or Bible study booklet given careful, prayerful, wide distribution may easily reach more people than all the sermons one could preach in a lifetime. And after we are gone, they remain, like Longfellow’s ‘Footprints on the Sands of Time’ streams of blessing that will flow on forever.” J.E. McKEE

By divine inspiration, the modern printing press was invented about the time of the great reformation in order to communicate the grace of Jesus Christ to the world. As a result, in the 16th century, the Gospel message blazed across Europe, evangelizing those who were previously locked up by the devil in the dark ages of false religion. The great reformer stated:

    “Printing is God’s latest and best work to spread true religion throughout the whole world.” Martin Luther

Today, more Word tracts are printed and distributed in the world than any previous time in human history. Could this be as a result of the orchestrating of the Holy Spirit due to Christ’s soon return?

“The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.” Proverbs 11:30 

Are you a soul winner? Do you have a systematic program to distribute God’s Word via the printed page? Do you have a willing heart? Need Gospel literature?

The message of salvation through Christ, printed in a brief format and easy to distribute, makes it more than feasible for every true Christian to “confess” Christ (Lk. 12:8-9) while communicating His message. With this in mind, will there be any excuse on Judgment Day for having ignored the Great Commission command and the precious lost souls for whom Christ died?

Good News for the disciple: Gospel tracts, which contain the salvation message of holy Scripture, make it possible for every believer to “Do the work of an evangelist.” (2 Timothy 4:5) Good tracts are available to those who desire to be about their Father’s business in winning the lost. Beware of tracts without the direct life or death message Jesus and His original apostles presented (Lk 13:3,5; Mk 16:16, 2 Cor. 2:16, etc.).

You can order Gospel tracts on this site which present the most important elements of Scripture to the lost; Holiness of God, sinfulness of men in breaking His holy law, the necessity of repentance and being born again into the body of Christ through Jesus Christ alone.

PRAYER: God, in the name of Jesus we ask You now to grant this world more Gospel workers (Matt. 9:37-38). Cause each of us to be obedient in this matter LORD. Forgive our coldness and selfishness in disobeying your Great Commission command and for not being considerate to those who don’t yet know you by hiding You from them in not sharing Your message with them. Forgive us for the excuses we have made up and how we have been ashamed of You towards those who need Your love so desperately. I am Yours LORD, please use me, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

The Weapons of Our Warfare [podcast]


Fighting Vertically (seeking His face continually) Guarantees that God will take care of the Horizontal

Your ground game will never work until you push praise to the One who made and saved you. Today is your day to train upward. The outward will follow. Verticaly praise to our LORD guarantees horizonal victory. The cross.

“Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds. 6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a twoedged sword in their hand; 7 To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people; 8 To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron; 9 To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD.” Psalms 149:5-9 

Dealing a crushing blow to your enemies – sin and Satan – requires kisses blown to Jesus Christ, the “first love” of your life! (Revelation 2:4-5) Like David, it will be the worshippers who will be God’s warriors!

“Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.” Psalms 2:12

Seeking the face of the LORD is to be “continually.” The victory Jesus died to procure for you, to bless you to walk in, will evade all who do not “seek his face continually.”

“Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually.” 1 Chronicles 16:11 

The only way to get up swinging, get up winning, is to set your heart to seek the face of your Savior! Simple prescription. Do it. Your plan is set in stone. You arise each morning with joyful praise, hands and heart and tongue pointed, aimed at Heaven, lifting the name of Jesus Christ!

Now set your heart and your soul to seek the LORD your God; arise therefore, and build ye the sanctuary of the LORD God, to bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and the holy vessels of God, into the house that is to be built to the name of the LORD.” 1 Chronicles 16:22

The only ones the LORD is going to powerfully use to “build” His kingdom in the hearts of men, are those who “set” their soul to seek His holy face.

Is your obedience being fulfilled? Are you filled with love and therefore obedience to the Savior?

The “weapons of our warfare” are:

  • The Word of God (Ephesians 6:17).
  • Prayer and persistence in prayer (Luke 18:1-8; 1 Thessalonians 5:17).
  • The name of Jesus (Acts 14:13-14; 16:23-24; Acts 3:16, etc.).

OUR GREATEST WEAPON IS THE WRITTEN WORD, PRAYER, AND THE NAME OF JESUS SAINTS. FRET NOT.

In the wilderness Jesus defeated the enemy by speaking forth the Word (Luke 4). He pulled out specific ammo for the enemy to address specific attacks, On all points, against every weapon of the enemy, Jesus had ammo with the devil’s evil name on it. And in doing so, He gave us the knowledge and example of how the enemy is defeated in our own lives. The Word of God is “mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds” and is “sharper than any twoedged sword” (2 Corinthians 10:4; Hebrews 4:12).

Studying, knowing the Word of God is like building the military, the arsenal of your life, in order to defeat the enemy. Without a strong arsenal of weapons and ammo, and the expert ability to use those weapons, you will be naked in the battle and lose. God’s Word is your arsenal – that which you have in you – the knowledge and performance thereof. Nothing is more important to your life today than seeking God in His Word and prayer. Jesus is Heaven’s Mighty Warrior, He is “a man of war” and is coming back “in flaming fire…” (2 Thessalonians 1:7-10; Revelation 19:11-16, etc.).

“Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.” 1 Timothy 6:12

We are in a war and must fight to win! “FIGHT the good fight….”

“For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: 4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.” 2 Corinthians 10:3-6 

Jesus demonstrated exactly what “the weapons of our warfare” are when He faced Satan in the wilderness. That weapon is the Word of God.

David, who was first a worshipper, was also an expert warrior. His life is a great example to the New Testament saint. David was learning to walk with the LORD, faithfully seeking Him in the pasture as he tended to sheep. He was building up his arsenal. And because he truly knew and sought the LORD, having been diligently training for warfare, the LORD, who is “a man of war,” directed him in choosing the specific ammo from His arsenal to take out Goliath (Exodus 15:3).

The “good soldier of Jesus Christ” is entrenched in the business of war, of winning the war. His Master, Jesus Christ, has never lost – and never will. Yet that blessing is reserved exclusively to those of His saints, His holy soldiers, who “strive lawfully.”

“Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. 4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. 5 And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.” 2 Timothy 2:3-5 

Striving “lawfully” simply means striving or working God’s way, according to His instructions and wishes, and not your own. Such includes to:

  • “endure hardness.”
  • realize you are a “soldier” which means you are in a war.
  • not be entangled with this world.
  • seek to please the LORD, who is “a man of war” and has chosen you to be His “soldier,” waging His war.

The LORD has and is bringing His true disciples to the understanding that this truly is a WAR, a fight to the death. You must “FIGHT the good fight of faith” or you will be a needless casualty of war! (1 Timothy 6:12) And so a military, a militant stance, posture, must be assumed by the disciple who will endure to the end (Matthew 10:22; 24:10-14, etc.).

A Fresh Look at Jesus’ 7 Letters to the Churches [podcast]


Did Jesus tell even one of the seven churches He addressed that they are as sure for Heaven as if they were already there due to being initially saved by Him?

Did Jesus give conditions for being with Him in eternal glory?

Can someone please help me figure out where un-conditional eternal security/OSAS fits in with the 7 letters of Jesus to the churches of Asia? Is it anywhere mentioned? No.

Can anyone find OSAS/eternal security in Jesus’ 7 letters to CHURCHES in Revelation 2 and 3? No. No such thing. Instead He gives conditions to overcome, to endure to the end, to abide, remain, and continue in Christ, in faith and obedience.

No such thing as “eternal security” in Christ’s kingdom until AFTER you are in Heaven. Such heresy is the bait of Satan as it was in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 2:17 > 3:4). Only moral cowards who make excuse for sin instead of being crucified with Christ daily as Jesus commanded. Bite on this bait (Luke 9:23-25). Eternal hell awaits. Time to repent and get “honest” (Luke 8:15).

Satan’s First Doctrine is a Lie. Yet Many Claim it’s Part of the Gospel of Jesus. Beware of these Wolves.

No such thing as a born again AND presently abiding saint who is not fruitful, who is not bearing good fruit. Otherwise why did Jesus instruct His people to know themselves and others “by their fruit”? See Matthew 7:16, 19. Such a notion as is heretical. Anyone who Jesus saves and then they don’t endure to the end, they don’t continue abiding in Christ, is no longer the LORD’s and going to hell. Read John 15:1-6 and stop believing the Devil’s very first lie—OSAS (Genesis 2:17; 3:4).

“If a man abide (continue, remain) not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.” John 15:6

WHEN YOU ARE IN YOUR MIND beginning to make excuse for sin, you KNOW it’s your un-crucified flesh and Satan that are in control. You know then that repentance, re-turning to the LORD who is Holy, is necessary.

“Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: 14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. 15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.” James 1:13-15

“He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.” Proverbs 28:13

When you are tempted to believe in the satanic heresy of “eternal security,” otherwise known as “once saved always saved (OSAS),” you know SATAN is seeking to seduce you (Genesis 2:17; 3:14).

Concerning these 7 letters of Jesus to the churches, one source notes the following:

“Revelation chapters 2 and 3 contain seven individual messages from Jesus Christ to seven historical churches in Asia Minor. The letters share a common pattern: an address to the church’s angel, a description of Christ, an evaluation of the church’s spiritual state, a call to repentance or perseverance, and a promise to those who overcome.”

Overview of the Letters

  • Ephesus, Pergamum, Sardis, and Laodicea receive direct rebukes for forsaking their first love, tolerating false teachings, dead orthodoxy, or lukewarmness, alongside urgent calls to repent.
  • Smyrna and Philadelphia face intense tribulation or persecution yet receive no rebuke, and are encouraged to hold fast to their faith. 
  • Promises to Overcomers: Each letter concludes with eternal assurances for “him that overcometh” such as the tree of life (Revelation 2:7), the crown of life (Revelation 2:10), and exemption from the second death (Revelation 2:11).

    The Notion of Eternal Security Expelled

    Some interpret the repeated conditional commands to “overcome” and “hold fast” as evidence that eternal salvation requires ongoing faithfulness and endurance to the end, suggesting that warnings against unrepentance involve real spiritual risk rather than unconditional security.”

    For Example, Jesus’ letter to the church at Sardis:

    “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.
    2  Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God.
    3  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.
    4  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.
    5  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.
    6  He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.” Revelation 3:1-6

    Also:

    “… confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.” Acts 14:22

    “And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved …. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.” Matthew 10:22; 24:13

    Concerning Jesus’ 7 Letters and OSAS, once commentator notes:

    “The seven letters of Jesus in Revelation 2-3 challenge absolute eternal security (“once saved, always saved”) by repeatedly commanding repentance, warning believers that unfaithfulness carries severe consequences, and conditioning eternal promises on actual endurance. 

    Warnings and Conditions in the Letters

    • Ephesus: Jesus warns that if the church does not repent for leaving its first love, He will “remove thy candlestick out of his place” (Revelation 2:5). [1]
    • Smyrna & Philadelphia: The promise of the crown of life and inclusion is explicitly tied to being “faithful unto death” (Revelation 2:10) and holding fast what they have “that no man take thy crown” (Revelation 3:11). 
    • Thyatira: Jesus warns He will cast those committing adultery into great tribulation and will “kill her children with death” (Revelation 2:22-23). 
    • Sardis: Jesus tells those who do not watch that He will come upon them “as a thief” (Revelation 3:3).
    • Laodicea: The lukewarm church is threatened with rejection: “I will spue thee out of my mouth” (Revelation 3:16). 

      The Promise to the Overcomer

      • In every letter, rewards like eating from the tree of life or being clothed in white raiment are promised specifically “to him that overcometh” (Revelation 2:7, 3:5).
      • Supporters of eternal security point to Christ’s assurance in Sardis—“I will not blot out his name out of the book of life” (Revelation 3:5)—as proof of permanent keeping, while critics argue the conditional phrasing implies names can be blotted out for failing to overcome.”
