This morning Abba placed the song "WAKE UP LITTLE SUSIE" in my spirit..As I was considering the song lyrics, I heard Him say, "THE CHURCH OF PHILADELPHIA"
As many of you know, Papa has been speaking much to me in regards to the true church getting right with the Lord, awaking & taking her rightful place. This isn't a message for the USA, it's not a message to Canada or any specific country -- It's a message for the true saints of God to wake up, Arise & shine for our light is come! His light is about to shine on all who claim to be His. He is about to show us up for who we really are. Saints, I implore each one to run from pride & run from hidden sins, for His light is about to expose many things in the body of Christ. I sense to tell those of you who are seeking Him in spirit and truth to ask Papa to reveal to you any heart issues to you personally - Invite Him to do a work inside. This is necessary to rise up in these end days & enter your calling. We cannot fix ourselves, but we can submit & position ourselves before Abba and invite Him to do what needs to be done in our heart so we won't miss what He is doing in these end days. Let us prostrate our heart before Him, submit our will to His, ask Him to awaken every area to His purposes and shine His light on the hidden areas so we can deal with them now so judgement doesn't fall on us. We all have them. As we allow Him entry, He will do a great work and we will become the unblemished ones = A people without spot or wrinkle.. The world will say of us as we pass by, "There goes those people of light!"
This message for the church of Philadelphia burns continually in my heart while I myself endure a trying wilderness experience & much persecution. I feel as John the Baptist must've felt, "the voice of one crying in the wilderness" with the message of Jesus arrival - Only this is the message of Jesus impending return. We, the true body of Christ are being called to arise, wake up, trim our lamps, and walk into our calling to be a church without spot or wrinkle. The heavens are more active today than ever - As many have sensed, heaven is coming to earth - the spiritual and the physical are about to collide and although this is good for the true church who has been purged & refined, it will be terrifying for those who are not prepared or ready. Saints we must awaken and submit to Him.. It is through submitting and drawing close to Him that we will be saved from judgement or falling away into the great apostasy. Those who are not running after His heart in a close walk with Him will miss out & are in danger. I cannot stress how imperative it is that we draw near to God, in a personal one on one close relationship, not just having the appearance of one.
"Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded" - James 4:8
..Father continues to cause this message to burn on my lips.. "And he said unto them, He that has ears to hear, let him hear" Mark 4:9
God bless each reader.
Who Is The Church of Philadelphia?
Many believers fit into the Laodicean church category (lukewarm) in Revelations. There are some that are dead (Sardis) who have an outward appearance of being alive and very Christian; however, they wield no power and are spiritually dead.
The Lord wants us to ascribe to be like Philadelphia:
1.They have "a little strength ['dunamis' translated 'power']." Since this is meant as a tribute, we infer that He is talking about the power of godliness. Their possession of this power will set them apart from others in the Last Days who will have only the form of godliness (2 Tim 3:5). Through the Holy Spirit, who is the source of this power, they will exhibit a character antithetical to the character of false Christians. The terms describing them will be exact opposites of the terms Paul uses in 2 Timothy 3. Instead of being lovers of self, for example, they will be lovers of God. Yet even so, their strength will be little, no doubt in comparison with the church after Pentecost. Perhaps the Lord is suggesting also that this will not be a large church (they'll be the remnant & elect prior to raising up in full power)
2. Philadelphia will keep the Word of God. They will revere every word of it as inerrant truth. They will reject corrupt texts and versions. They will renounce hermeneutical approaches which belittle the supernatural. And they will study the Scriptures diligently as their rule of doctrine and practice.
3. Philadelphia will not deny the name of Christ. Under persecution, they will remain faithful to Him, and they will not demean His name by encouraging the unruly to believe that they can claim His salvation without submitting to His Lordship. In other words, they will live in the age of easy-believism, when many will use Christianity as a cloak for worldly and corrupt lives (sounds like right now!).
One quality not mentioned in the letter to Philadelphia must nevertheless be the most outstanding quality of this church, for the name Philadelphia means "brotherly love." Now the warning in James takes on added significance (James 5:8-9). "Grudging" here signifies absence of love. Let us therefore be diligent to make real and maintain our love for each other.
Despite the godly character of the Philadelphians, they will not be well-liked in the world. They will particularly suffer persecution from a synagogue of Satan (v. 9). It was an actual synagogue of Jews that persecuted the original church of Philadelphia. They were Jews by birth, but not Jews in God's sight, for they lacked a right relationship with God. Therefore, they had no right to consider themselves the people of God (Rom. 2:28-29). What is the synagogue of Satan that will trouble Philadelphia on the eve of Christ's return? The word "synagogue" just means "assembly." The assembly of Satan is evidently a church/people who consider themselves the people of God, but are self-deceived. In reality, they do the bidding of Satan. These false Christians will cast reproach on Philadelphia and hinder its work in every way possible, perhaps even calling it a deviant or cultic form of religion. But when the time of judgment arrives, the Lord will show His approval of Philadelphia by requiring all its detractors to bow down and kiss the feet of the saints they so viciously maligned.
I also refer readers to this end time vision of the Sleeping Giant whom the Lord is now trying to awaken: Tommy Hicks endtime prophecy
Some time ago the Lord began to speak to me using secular songs which He often has me translate using prophetic symbolism.. The song He gave me this morning is one of those:
Wake up, little Susie, wake up -- Susan means "grace" & God's grace is calling us to awaken
Wake up, little Susie, wake up
Weve both been sound asleep,
wake up, little Susie, and weep
The movies over, -- God is showing us the 'big picture' (movie)
its four oclock, -- It's time to take new territory (symbolized by the #4)
and were in trouble deep -- We're in danger
Wake up little Susie
Wake up little Susie
Whatta we gonna tell your mama -- mama: Holy spirit
Whatta we gonna tell your pa -- pa: Father God
Whatta we gonna tell our friends -- friends: the rest of the church body
when they say ooh-la-la
Wake up little Susie
Wake up little Susie, well
Told your mama youd be in by ten -- Perfection of divine order/complete development (#10)
looks like we goofed again
Wake up little Susie
Wake up little Susie,
we gotta go home -- Home: the truth & calling of Israel to return to their homeland
..The movie wasnt so hot, -- The big picture isn't pleasant
it didnt have much of a plot -- His message is simple
We fell asleep, -- the body of Christ is sleeping
our goose is cooked, -- and we're in trouble
our reputation is shot -- the world is not impressed with our witness
Wake up little Susie -- We must wake up & become God's people of light
Wake up little Susie..
