Revelation 3:17 Because you say, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked.
This is actually the spiritual plague afflicting persons living in Laodicea; it is not so much the proliferation of evil worldwide, it is the lack of ability to discern between the heavenly and the satanic. And because of this, many individuals are settling in for a form of righteousness that’s neither recognized or endorsed by God.
On this important, and necessary ability of persons being able to tell the difference between right and wrong, good and evil, the Scripture has very much to say, for if one cannot differentiate properly, the battle is lost, even before it is begun.
When Martha became riled up at Mary, for her not helping with the cooking and preparation, as Christ was sitting in their living room hungry, she thought that she was prioritizing her agenda properly. But lo and behold, when the issue was raised, Jesus stated that her priorities had become temporarily inverted even though she knew it not.
Revelation 3:18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness does not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eye-salve, that you may see.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
