Are you Hot, Cold or Lukewarm?
~ Revelation 3:15-16 - I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! 16 So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth.
This is the state of the "Laodicea Church" in Revelation. (Lukewarm) (Endtime church)
This should seriously make us take a look at our walk with the Lord! I kept seeing this scripture. At Bible Study at Church, on a Newsletter from David Wilkerson, ect... Three or more times I believe and it was getting my attention! I was neither Hot nor Cold, I was Lukewarm.... He was letting me know that my walk with Him was "Lukewarm"... I didn't want to be "on the Fence/Lukewarm"... I thought I was doing ok. So I am putting Him first in my life, more talking w/Him, bible reading/studying, praying ect.. and letting go of the things of this World! The Lord Jesus has to be first and foremost in our lives, period! (Hot). And letting go of things in this World, which will make us.. (Cold or Lukewarm). Who would really want a "lukewarm" relationship with your friend/spouse? We want something special! And so does He! And so should we with Him! Not half-hearted but full-hearted, hot, fire and on the move, moving forward!
He wants our FULL attention, not just a little bit of talking with Him, praying, reading, only calling on Him in times of trouble, living and doing what we want and just putting a little bit of Him in there ect... He wants us to be on FIRE for Him! Our hearts! Relationship! If we continue to live our lives in the "Flesh and our own desires", living on the Fence/Lukewarm, He will do as He says. Spit us out!
Lukewarm 1.moderately warm; tepid. 2.having or showing little ardor, zeal, or enthusiasm; indifferent: lukewarm applause.
The Lord is calling to all of us that are Lukewarm to wake up, before it is to late! (I am very thankful for the Lord showing me this in myself! Praise the Lord!)
* I encourage who reads this to examine their hearts and talk with the Lord..don't wait!! * I encourage you above all to READ THE WORD OF GOD/BIBLE to see if what I am saying is the truth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Note: As I have been writing this at the end here I stopped to pray , asking the Lord & Holy Spirit to help me with what to write and how to say it. I kept hearing... Tell them I am coming soon, tell them I am coming soon, tell them I am coming soon!
Scriptures:

To the Church in Laodicea: Rev.3:14 - "To the angel of the church in Laodicea write:These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of God’s creation. 15 I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! 16 So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth. 17 You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked. 18 I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see. 19 Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent. 20 Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me. 21 To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I was victorious and sat down with my Father on his throne. 22 Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches."
