20 points displays of Laodicea is the church-state that prevails within its Christianity in Norway that allows the church Smyrna-Oslo is required!
Jan Kåre Christensen, founder and preacher of Smyrna Oslo
John. Obvious. 2. 8 And to the angel of the church in Smyrna: These things saith the first and the last, he who was dead and is alive: 9 I know your tribulation and your poverty - yet you are rich - and bigotry, from those who say they are Jews, and are not, but the synagogue of Satan. 10 Fear not for what you are going to suffer! Behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye will be tried, and ye shall have tribulation ten days. Be faithful until death, I will give thee the crown of life! 11 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches: He that overcomes shall not be hurt of the second death.
Here are the antithesis of Smyrna, the church!
John. Obvious. 3. 14 And to the angel of the church in Laodicea: These things saith he that is the Amen, the faithful and true grape witness, the origin of God's creation: 15 I know thy works, that you are neither cold nor hot, I wish you were cold or hot! 16 Therefore, since you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I utspy you of my mouth. 17 Because you say I am rich and have abundance and made nothing, and you do not know that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked, 18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold, glowed in the fire, that you can be rich and white garments, that you may clothe yourself in them and your shameful nakedness not be revealed, and eye-salve to anoint your eyes with, that you can see! 19 All the people I love, rebuke and chasten them I: be zealous therefore and repent thee! 20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock, if any man hear my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will sup with him, and he with me. 21 He who overcomes, to him will I grant to sit with me on my throne, as I overcame and sat down with my Father on his throne. 22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches! (End of quote).
We want to engage in Smyrna, the church here in Oslo as a counterweight and alternative to the Christianity that is becoming more and more councils within its Christian Norway. Obviously and thankfully is not all negative, black and warm. But all too much and more and more it becomes. Want to give some eye opening to many why it is Laodicea condition as is the advice. And Smyrna and Philadelphia state that is the advice and as it should have been. Of the seven churches were sending five of them warning, rebuke, and judgment message of Jesus which Laodicea was the worst! While it was Smyrna and Philadelphia congregation that received the message that they were faithful even unto death! Something better and stronger than it can hardly be said. Which form of Christianity and Christian life you choose, in many ways, even, that do not choose God for you. You should and need to make your own choices. If you go to a community or church here in Norway that is such that the average here, so I am afraid for you if you reach the New Jerusalem and receive full pay. And if you decide to go ahead with the Lord, we all need a community or a church. Smyrna Oslo and want to be one such option.
20 points tell us that we live in Laodicea condition in Norway and the rest of the western world!
1) mediocrity is the advice, one can not tolerate those who live radically and wholeheartedly to the Lord and take the word of God as it is written in God's word. We live not perfect with the Lord, nor "completely" with the world. God's church is "slightly" better than the world, but always come limping behind in everything. But further and further from the standard of God's word!
2) Narcissistic traits among believers, especially among the leaders, no one will admit that they are leaders and pastors in the church of God has really driven the church into the ditch! Narcissistic is the way that one thinks are always so good about themselves rather than others. One does not see things straight, healthy and normal. It is common among believers that do not really have contact with themselves and their own feelings, thoughts and will. We as believers should eg. be exalted above the world's children in the morals and ethics had been normal. But the fact is that there is no distinction between believers and non believers today. Leste, among other things that in the U.S., divorce and remarriage rate is not the greatest in the world, but in the faith movement! Narcissistic people find a far more among Protestants an example. Katolikere where the confessional. Teacher one not to confess their sins so narcissistic people will breed more of the same category and type!
3) Christian people of Norway, especially the youth are Western, self-absorbed and have really enough with themselves. Herd mentality and rock concerts with dance and drama are the youth served in many parishes, especially the largest bymenighetene.
4) The traditions are the word of God to many. Eg. then it will be communicated belief in a triune God, this triune God to torment, harass and burn those who do not believe in forever. Scripture teaches not at this! Word of God teaches that there are two exits on life. One is for those who do not believe that they will be destroyed like Sodom and Gomarra. But the true believers will live in a newly created earth and new heavens where justice prevails and reigns for ever and ever!
5) One is that the unfaithful servants who do not give God's people the right foods at the right time, this is especially true preachers! That God's people need to hear, it will be omitted. What one has heard a thousand times before getting a serve once again as with the diluted soup.
6) Evangelism that is so necessary is not emphasized as the word of God teaches! We will win the world but it's the world that has "won" the faithful. We will put the mark on the world and the environment, but it's the world and the environment that puts their mark on us all for a great degree and extent.
7) Discipleship cleaning that is required is not as emphasized as the word of God teaches! Jesus will not have followers but followers. God's word speaks more about actually discipling one to win the world. First, sanctification, then evangelism. We must have balance. There, one should not exclude the other to let the other stand. Both sides belong, but first discipleship, evangelism then, when we get the biblical balance.
8) A look through the fingers of sin and heresy, if it supports the right people. I have seen that a "taking" some, while others see a blind eye to even, tragically. God's word speaks that he flaunted in one of the commandments, is guilty of all. We can for example. not be against homosexuals but accept that believers get married several times. In the same Bible says that it's a shame both to marry a divorced or divorced as a believer to marry again as to live as a homosexual or lesbian!
9) The contents of the Christian message that God will create a new heaven and a new earth where justice b9or, is an almost forgotten issue. What is our main goal has been completely gone for everything else is insignificant up against this theme!
10) If an example. make that vision Norway and Pastor Jan Hanvold to show some very poor people, so give one without shame even though Norway's Vision for heresy and Hanvold live in blatant sin. Scripture says in 1 Kor. 13. 3 And if I give food to the poor all that I own, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. It does not matter what we do when we do not live in accordance with scriptural teachings. Paul showed that his biggest and most important battle was against himself and his own flesh. Therefore, the passport he first and foremost on his own life before he did anything else. 1. Kor. 9. 27 but I subdues my body and keep it in bondage, lest I preach to others, even should be a castaway.
11) The leaders of the church loves to have control, they are as a control frikere! It's like a spiritual elite who know best and think they are above others. But scripture warns against putting any people themselves, or that lets people take God's place. Matt. 23. 8 But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your master, but you are all brothers. 9 And I will not call anyone on earth your father, for one is your Father, who art in heaven. 10 Neither shall ye called teachers, for one is your teacher, Christ. 11 But the greatest among you shall be your servant. 12 He himself exalted, to be abased, and it humbles himself shall be exalted.
12) God is the God of order, if any eg. unable to get the marriage to work so they will not be Pastors and shepherds. Or otherwise violate God's word, there is no time to be careful with themselves, and in particular if one should learn others. There are those who are careful with their own life to teach others, and they will also be called great in the kingdom of God. While those who violate God's word should be discarded without the past even if they have successfully built up a 24 hour TV channel, this is not my words but the font. Matt. 5. 19 Therefore, whoever breaks one of these least commandments and teaches men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does them and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
13) There is actually only about Jehovah's Witnesses who prioritize evangelism in such high degree and the right degree as the word of God speaks of us as believers to go out with the message. It is strange that those who claimed to be a sect rather than someone else. If "right" in two of the most important truths in God's word more than any other Christian. It is their understanding of God and the Godhead, and evangelism. I do not endorse all of the joint, but their desire to witness and to share the message they believe. It's something that we find among the first Christians who evangelized the dakjente world by sacrificing everything to spread the word. That is why we are put here to live for and with God and to spread the word.
14) Self-insight and self-realization among the vast majority of believers are just as low and as sick as the church in Laodicea? The church in Laodicea lacked, above all, eye ointment, just as today's Christianity in Norway does. John. Obvious. 3. 18b. eye-salve to anoint your eyes with, that you can see! One can live in a large self-deception by recognizing each other and think that it is spiritual. No and again a no. It is by following the word of God and be led by His Spirit that we are on the biblical path of our lives. People's favor can also be a deception, and resistance from the people is more of a normal Christian life than just good will. It's actually promise that we will both be persecuted, trampled on and lied to all of Jesus' name's sake.
15) A church member gives stones for bread. There is something oppressive and God and man and hostile to much preaching today. This is needed to explain. What I mean is that today's preaching really put people off. One might be free at some points. But the word of God speaks of us to be restored to the spirit, soul and body. In Salem, 23 states in the basic text is that he restoreth our soul, but restore our souls. We are going to be like Jesus as possible here in time, not everything will happen when we see Jesus and become like Him.
16) Remarriage takes place soon in all Protestant churches in Norway, as far as I know, only the Catholic church and Smyrna Oslo holds. This is of course a simplification, but the deterioration that has taken place within its specifically Protestant Christians, as I see it a waiver. One has prophesied and promised revivals and new revivals, but the opposite has happened. And no one grabs it, and those who try to swim against the current is suppressed, pushed away and held to be extreme and dangerous among the majority. Where will this end? I do not know, but we see that God's words coming true right before our eyes, no doubt. 2. Tim. 4. 3 For the time will come when they will not endure the sound doctrine, but after their own lusts take themselves teachers in droves, because the itching ears, 4, and they shall turn away their ears from the truth and turn to adventure.
17) exclude the Lord's true witnesses but opens up more and more for women Pastors and others. This is directly against what scripture teaches. But it's no surprise when we know what the scripture says about the end times. Then we know it to be and be hard times for those who want to live completely surrendered the Lord, His will and be faithful receive the word. Jesus himself said on several occasions warning and shaped down the words before he came back. Among other things, that there are those who endure to the end will be saved, and shall he find faith when he came back on earth, etc.
18) The church should be like a greenhouse, where church members to grow and find their place in the church community. But the climate in the church is so low that it is only the artificial plants to find their place and those who are spiritually alive is a uromoment and bother. But we need today churches that are not recognized by those who think they know better than others and that will be the established leadership. But those who will follow the Lamb wherever it goes past without the camp, the religious and secular camps. From my commentaries Hebrews 13 10 We have our own altar, and those who serve the tabernacle have no right to eat from it.
It was clear regulations and limitations in the Temple in Jerusalem. When we dedicate ourselves to Jesus, only he gives us acceptance to God that nobody else has without this name. Mosaic Law is no longer just grace in Christ leads.
John. e 1 16 From his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace. 17 For the law was given through Moses, grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. 18 No one has ever seen God, but the only begotten Son, who is God, and that is in the Father's side, he has shown us who he is. 11 The blood of sacrificial animals carrying the high priest into the sanctuary to make atonement for sin, but the body is burned outside the camp.
Here you go Paul, the comparison between the role models set in the Old Testament worship. The sacrificial service took place in the people's presence in the temple.
12 Therefore Jesus also suffered outside the gate, in order to sanctify the people through his own blood.
But what was left over, the body is burned outside the camp. So it is with Jesus, he was "permitted overs" for Israel. Was not accepted and recognized by those who controlled the religious system and had "power".
John. e 1 11 He came unto his own, but his own received him not.
13 Let us go forth to him outside the camp and bear His reproach.
When Jesus was rejected and not recognized even though he both preached the truth and the way the truth and the life. How must the true believers expect to be rejected and not recognized by the religious system and those with power. Therefore it is written: go out to him outside the camp and bear His reproach. We meet Jesus outside the accepted religious hop!
19) When Satan raises implements, such as. Todd Bentley, Jan Hanvold, Ulf Ekman, Aage Åleskjær Pentecostal and other charismatic preacher. So they are not accepted and warned against! It's something that I've seen, and that is very strange. One would rather series of brotherly hand to those who compromise the Word of God in their lives or who have foreign learning, than those on the word of God in full. It's like we see skjøgekristne collected, and the bride are united. There are at least sure that there is a lot of strange is happening today, which means that we must say that we will not accept anything that pretends to be Christian and from God. It really is true what is said that it is not gold all that glitters and it looks big to be small. And what appears to be little out great in the eyes of God and for him!
20) When a warning against the individual, then there are those who live entirely in the periphery or as not knowing if they are even born. But as such. social critics. When Karl Johan BATHS Field warns against Hanne Nabintu Herland and the religious clap your hands is a completely come back to the sandbox in kindergarten. But they really should be warned against, for example. January Hanvold and Vision Norway and others, then it is a quiet and silent as an oyster. Can you believe this? Not me! One misses the target all the time, one really can not give the right foods at the right time. But give them both wrong foods and bad foods. One has been as an unfaithful and poor servant of the Lord Jesus warned against. Matt. 24. 44 Therefore be ye also ready! for the Son of man cometh at an hour I think not. 45 Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his lord has set over his servants to give them their food in due season? 46 Blessed is that servant whom his master finds doing so when he comes. 47 Verily I say unto you, He will set him over all that he owns. 48 But if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord, give her time, 49 and then give him to beat his fellow servants and eat and drink with the drinkers, 50 then the servant's master will come a day he did not expect, and an hour he did not know, 51 and cut him asunder, and give him lots and share with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Do not go in depth here. But just as there are seasons in nature, it is also the kingdom of God and in God's church. It is therefore concerned to hear what the Spirit says to the congregation, not what it or it says. But what God himself says, and be faithful against it only in his own life. Then teach others the same. Then we will be of those whom Jesus called to be, "Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his lord has set over his servants to give them their food in due season? Blessed is that servant whom his master finds doing so when he comes. Verily I say unto you, He will set him over all that he owns. "
