19I know your deeds, and your love and faith and service and perseverance, and that your deeds of late are greater than at first.
20′ButI have this against you, that you tolerate the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, and she teaches and leads My bond-servants astray so that they commit acts of immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols.
21 I gave her time to repent, and she does not want to repent of her immorality.
22′Behold, I will throw her on a bed of sickness, and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of her deeds.
23′And I will kill her children with pestilence, and all the churches will know that I am He who (BI)searches the minds and hearts; and I will give to each one of you according to your deeds.
24′But I say to you, the rest who are in Thyatira, who do not hold this teaching, who have not known the (BL)deep things of Satan, as they call them–I place no other burden on you
Jesus Knows (vs19) You cannot hide your secret sins from Him, He knows
Jesus Hold our tolerance for sin against us, especially sexual sin(vs 10)
Tolerance is not, a virtue
Tolerance is for people, not principles. It is how I treat you.
Tolerance is for strangers I don’t know, not for my family or Church family
Sexual sin tolerated, brings other people into this sin (vs20)
You think it’s secret but it affects your actions, your convictions, which affect the Church Body
vs 21, God has given them time to repent, most people refuse to repent though
vs 22, sickness put upon them is a judgment, notice how the bed of pleasure becomes a bed of pain
vs 23, I will Kill her children says the Lord. How much of our actions affect others, and our children! Our children are destroyed when we tolerate this sin in our lives. Here is a story
At a mens conference this pastor was preaching on holiness, and purity. God was moving in the men, and at the end as the pastor shook hands, he noticed a man in line, who didn’t want anyone to hear his story. Finally after weighting 1 hour, the man comes to the pastor and says "my son is a missionary" but the pastor knew he wasn’t there for that. The man confessed to being a sexual addict for 30 years. The pastor asked well what changed? The man said he was on the internet, looking at a number of things, and people that he had no business looking at. He said one of the men looked at the screen
"It was my son" I was devastated. He flew across the world to talk to him, and cry with him and pray with him. The man told the pastor, "there is a way that we think that it only affects us, I came face to face with what my sin tolerated"
Sexual Immorality is anything outside of marriage btw a man and a woman. homosexuality is perversion and it only slides down to worse and worse
Sexual Immorality isn’t even to be named among us saints. It destroys emotions, people, our ability for intimacy and it leads to destruction and Hell itself
God Help us
