Greetings to All
Ok, let's start with this:
8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, says the LORD.
9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
10 For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, and returns not there, but waters the earth, and makes it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
11 So shall my word be that goes forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.
What will LIFE find WRONG in your CHURCH (heart and mind)?
What will HE "allow" to happen to cause to CHANGE in your heart and mind that will cause Positive (GOOD / PRODUCTIVE ) actions, thoughts, words & deeds or Negative (EVIL / UNPRODUCTIVE ) actions, thoughts, words & deeds?

King James 2000
Letter to the Church of Ephesus
1) Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things says he that holds the seven stars in his right hand, who walks in the midst of the seven golden lampstands;
2) I know your works, and your labor, and your patience, and how you can not bear them who are evil: and you have tried them who say they are apostles, and are not, and have found them liars:
3) And have endured, and have patience, and for my name's sake have labored, and have not fainted.
4) Nevertheless I have somewhat against you, because you have left your first love.
5) Remember therefore from where you are fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto you quickly, and will remove your lampstand out of its place, except you repent.
6) But this you have, that you hate the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
7) He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says unto the churches; To him that overcomes will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.
Letter to the Church in Smyrna
8) And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things says the first and the last, who was dead, and is alive;
9) I know your works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but you are rich) and I know the blasphemy of them who say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
10) Fear none of those things which you will suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that you may be tried; and you shall have tribulation ten days: be faithful unto death, and I will give you a crown of life.
11) He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says unto the churches; He that overcomes shall not be hurt of the second death.
Letter to the Church in Pergamum
12) And to the angel of the church in Pergamum write; These things says he who has the sharp sword with two edges;
13) I know your works and where you dwell, even where Satan's throne is: and you hold fast my name, and have not denied my faith, even in those days when Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwells.
14) But I have a few things against you, because you have there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to cast a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.
15) So have you also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate.
16) Repent; or else I will come unto you quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.
17) He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says unto the churches; To him that overcomes will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knows except him who receives it.
Letter to the Church in Thyatira
18) And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things says the Son of God, who has his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine bronze;
19) I know your works, and love, and service, and faith, and your patience, and your works; and the last to be more than the first.
20) Nevertheless I have a few things against you, because you allow that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.
21) And I gave her time to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.
22) Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.
23) And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he who searches the minds and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.
24) But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and who have not known the depths of Satan, as they say; I will put upon you no other burden.
25) But that which you have already hold fast till I come.
26) And he that overcomes, and keeps my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:
27) And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to pieces: even as I received of my Father.
28) And I will give him the morning star.
29) He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says unto the churches.
These are not just physical/figurative places, these are a collective mindsets & heart issues that are grouped into these categories. Which Category does your "religious organization" fall into? You have you "united" and adjoined your WAY OF THINKING to? Which "church" has captured your heart and have formatted your mind to think in a manner that doesn't UNIFY your way of thinking into LOVE, LIFE & TRUTH? Why does retaliation, segregation, degradation, frustration, fear, doubt, disbelief & prejudices have to REIGN supreme?
LIFE is UNITY & unfortunately until EVERY sect, denomination, creed, religion, race, culture, being, etc., "GETS" this, there will ALWAYS be SEPARATION, & THAT is the issue LIFE has, not only with the churches aforementioned above, but those around the globe. The CHURCH is the COLLECTIVE of UNITED "LIFE-MINDED" people who are MATURED in the ART of UNCONDITIONAL LOVE & FORGIVENESS, forged together by COURAGE to introduce, inoculate, empower, produce, nourish & cultivate LOVE, LIFE & TRUTH to and into every thing that has breath, in order to acknowledge the LIFE in all.
As with ANYTHING, Cop Killings, Child Molestations, Church Shootings, Lottery Winners, to self made millionaires, LIFE wants to see if you going to turn to SELF or turn to LOVE that will PRODUCE LIFE within one another to "GROW" and "PRODUCE".
"The Collective of Everyone consists of a Whole ... Even "waste" is in your body until it is Expelled" ~ Mrs. RGTG ... #LOVELIFETRUTH
Everything is needed for the operation and the process of WHOLENESS, after all, E-V-I-L is L-I-V-E backwards - it's according to one's perception. If LOVE is "failing" in you, then the question that should be asked "Was there any LOVE in your heart in the first place?" The TRUTH about LOVE is that HE is NOT a "feeling", HE is an Eternal Being, Life force, Energy, Power that lives inside of the hearts and minds of those who BELIEVE in LOVE "UNCONDITIONALLY"... the NO MATTER WHAT you do, I LOVE YOU... such as in the case of ALL that is going on in the WORLD... can we EMMIT "positive" energy in the mist of a sea of negativity or are we so consumed by "how I feel", "what I think", "what about me", or are we just concerned with the color of the Earth Suits that we wear, that we don't even focus on the "person" INSIDE of the "threads of DNA" woven to secure and protect us form the elements of nature and not supposingly from each other. When are we going to LOOK PAST the "outer hull" and start focusing on the heart & the mind of the being within?
Humans of Earth... We DO NOT have it right... LIFE is created to be GIVEN and NOT TAKEN... If you want to "TAKE" something... take the LOVE test & see if YOU would get 100%. Will you be able to HONESTLY and TRUTHFULLY check off each and every one on the list below? If not, are you willing to WORK ON those areas that YOU are lacking WITHOUT looking at someone else as to what they may need to work on? Nine times out of ten, LIFE is so STRATEGIC that HE puts people with the SAME issues that WE need to work on directly in our paths and in our faces so that we can SEE ourselves in them. So, before looking at the areas someone else need to focus on, look inside to "self" first.
Regardless to POPULAR BELIEF, there is a HIGHER FORCE in operation here, regardless to WHATEVER "NAME/TITLE" that you attach to the ENERGY SOURCE, "HE" is in CONTROL... the only "CONTROL" that humans have is over THEMSELVES, and how they "allow" the POSITIVE or NEGATIVE energy, force, GOD, spirit, etc. EFFECT them within.
If you cannot check off ALL of these, then LOVE is NOT PERFECTED in you!
