To Church That Matters,
These are the words of the One who is holy and true, who holds all authority over His Church and the keys to the Kingdom. I have seen your works, your faithfulness, and your endurance. You have been a church that matters in ways that bring Me joy.
You have crossed boundaries for the sake of My name, refusing to be confined by comfort or convention. You have not shrunk back from declaring My truth, standing firm on My Word even when it was difficult. You have been a refuge for the hurting, a place where the wounded find healing and the lost find hope. In times of crisis, you have shown up. You have taken My commission seriously, sending out those who would plant and build My Church beyond your walls. I see the growth in many of you—your understanding of My Word deepening, your faith strengthening, your prayers rising to My throne. You are not just a church of Sundays but a people who live for Me daily.
Yet I hold this against you: you have abandoned your first love. I called you to build My Church from house to house, yet you have drifted from that mission. You were once a movement multiplying disciples and leaders, but your focus has waned. You bring people to Me, but do you walk with them beyond that moment? I have called you not just to introduce them to Me, but to teach them My ways, to shape them into disciples who will carry My name forward.
I see how distraction has crept in. You have run hard after many things, but not all were from Me. Focus your steps, align your ways with My purpose, and let go of what is not yours to carry. And where is your reverence for Me? You have allowed the world to dull your awe. Cultural Christianity has crept in where holy fear should dwell. Worship is not just a song; it is a life wholly surrendered. Seek Me daily. Walk with Me closely. Love Me deeply.
I am calling you back. Repent and do the works you did at first. Strengthen what remains before it fades. I have placed before you an open door, and no one can shut it. Hold fast to what you have, so that no one may take your crown. To the one who overcomes, I will give a place in My presence, secure and unshaken. I will write upon you My new name, for you are Mine.
Let those who have ears hear what the Spirit is saying to Church That Matters.
