REVELATION WARNING

REVELATION 2:1-7; PROVERBS 6:12-19:
"TO THE ANGEL OF THE CHURCH IN EPHESUS WRITE:
THESE ARE THE WORDS OF HIM WHO HOLDS THE SEVEN STARS IN HIS RIGHT HAND AND WALKS AMONG THE SEVEN GOLDEN LAMPSTANDS; 2.) I KNOW YOUR DEEDS, YOUR HARD WORK AND YOUR PERSEVERANCE, I KNOW THAT YOU CANNOT TOLERATE WICKED MEN, THAT YOU HAVE TESTED THOSE WHO CLAIM TO BE APOSTLES BUT ARE NOT, AND HAVE FOUND THEM FALSE.
YET I HOLD THIS AGAINST YOU: YOU HAVE FORSAKEN YOUR FIRST LOVE. REMEMBER THE HEIGHT FROM WHICH YOU HAVE FALLEN! REPENT AND DO
THE THINGS YOU FIRST DID. THIS I HAVE IN YOUR FAVOR; YOU HATE THE PRACTICES OF THE NICOLAITANS, WHICH I ALSO HATE, HE THAT HAS AN EAR TO HEAR, LET HIM HEAR THE SPIRIT AND WHAT HE HAS TO SAY TO THE CHURCHES."

"THERE ARE SIX THINGS THE LORD HATES, SEVEN THAT ARE DETESTABLE TO HIM; HAUGHTY EYES, A LYING TONGUE, HANDS THAT SHED INNOCENT BLOOD, A HEART THAT DEVISES WICKED SCHEMES, FEET THAT ARE QUICK TO RUSH INTO EVIL, A FALSE WITNESS WHO POURS OUT LIES AND A MAN WHO STIRS UP DISSENSION AMONG BROTHERS.:

Jesus said that leaving your "First Love," would cause you to fall from the height you were at?
He said that you do have in your favor this; "You hate the practices of the Nicolaitons," which is the 7 things that Solomon wrote about in 6:16-19; haughty eyes, lying, hands that shed blood, (hating someone) a heart that devises wickedness, feet that are quick to stir up trouble, a false witness who pours out lies, and someone who is stirring up dissension.

Let us be clear here, are you doing anything like this? Are you in Love with Jesus, serving Him with a loving attitude? Examine yourself in the Word, and by The Love of God through Christ Jesus.
