CHRIST WALKING THROUGH THE CHURCHES

CHRIST WALKING THROUGH THE CHURCHES

I turned to see whose voice  it was that spoke to me. When I turned I saw seven gold lampstands,  and among the lampstands was One like the Son of Man, dressed in a long robe  and with a gold sash wrapped around His chest. - The secret  of the seven stars you saw in My right hand and of the seven gold lampstands is this: The seven stars are the angels  of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands  are the seven churches. 

REVELATION 1:12-13, 20

The picture in Revelation is of God, through the Lord Jesus Christ, literally walking through the lampstands. His churches in every single generation are His lampstands; in this dark generation. We have been chosen exactly for this generation of time before the foundation of the world; it is the generation that has been assigned to us. It matters to God what is going on inside of churches that bear His name.

He knows the difference between a praying church and a playing church; a church of the Word and a church of the world; a church that goes through the motions and another that stirs up nothing but emotions, and another of pure devotion. He knows the difference between a church that seeks His fellowship, and one that seeks big membership. He knows every church that is all about Him and every church that is all about man. It matters to Him deeply what He finds down our halls.
