virtues of man into the church

CHURCH.AGE.BOOK CPT.1
The word, Asia, is actually Asia Minor. It is a
small parcel of land about the size of Indiana. The
seven churches there were especially picked from
all other churches for their characteristics, which
same characteristics would be found in the
successive ages centuries later.
Spirit of the City
A City in the Bible represents a stronghold
The characteristics of each city was
prophetically accurate to the events of each
age:
1.
Church character
2.
Political conditions
3.
Social conditions
4.
Religious conditions
Every city carries a spirit – influence of the
church
How it matches our spirit...
Man was made with those 7 virtues
Virtues overcome by attributes of sin over
6000 yrs
Attributes of sin built cities – strongholds of
perverted character around those virtues
To restore the virtues:
1.
Identify the attributes of sin and separate
2.
Virtues must be revealed and tried
3.
Virtue must be established as a new stronghold
The Angel to the Church...
One sent with the revelation of the virtue
Has the Word that will reveal and restore the
virtue required for that age
Anointed to expose the attributes of sin in the
age and uncover the spirit of the anti-Christ
for that age.
Without recognizing him there is no
redemption for the divine nature of man
His character is tied to the Son of God/ Holy
Ghost character to anoint the church
Revealed mystery

Recognising the messenger

accepting him
+
accepting his message

spirit

accepting the way to
defeat the enemy spirit
