THE SPIRIT OF LAODICEA

“Loadicea” means “ruled by the people” and is the common thread of the last days where people in general have turned rebellious against any type of authority and are self-willed and full of pride. In Revelations 3 from verse 14 we read about the messenger that wrote to the congregation of Laodicea and of all seven letters, the Laodiceans got the strongest rebuke from Yahshua.

“And to the messenger of the congregation of Laodicea, write: These things says the Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the Head of the creation of Elohim: I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I would that you were cold, or hot. So, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I am about to vomit you out of My mouth.

Because you say, I am rich, and I am made rich, and I have need of nothing, and do not know that you are miserable and a wanderer and poor and blind and naked. I advise you to buy from Me gold having been fired by fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, and your shame and nakedness may not be revealed. And anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see. “I, as many as I love, I rebuke and I chasten.” Be zealous, then, and repent.

Behold, I stand at the door “and knock:” If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will enter to him, and I will dine with him, and he with Me. The one overcoming, I will give to him to sit with Me in My throne, as I also overcame and sat with My Father in His throne. The one who has an ear, hear what the Spirit says to the congregations.” (Revelation 3:14-22)

The spirit of Laodicean, due to his physical life of money and pleasures, is blinded to his spiritual condition of being void of the Holy Spirit and not having any congregational roots and never being spiritually fulfilled or satisfied. The most dangerous aspect of the spirit of the Laodicean is that they think they are so spiritually superior and cannot see their miserable spiritual state, they refuse to take any correction and will not repent. Sadly, this describes much of western society today.

Cold water is useful to quench one’s thirst, as where hot water is useful in bathing and warming one with tea etc, however lukewarm water is only good for one thing: inducing vomiting. The main characteristic that the half-hearted Laodicean lacks is zeal and fervour for YHWH and His work.

In these final last minutes of the last hour, we need to be HOT for Yahweh and His statutes. We need to be on fire and spreading the fire of the Holy Spirit nonstop, because the sand in the hourglass is running out fast. Let’s repent and stop being rebellious against any type of authority and stop being self-willed and full of pride.

If we decided to follow and worship the Elohim of Abraham, Izac and Jacob, then we need to worship Him in Spirit and in Truth. We may not bend His rules to satisfy our own selfish needs. We may not change His feasts into our own feasts because it’s how we want to celebrate it. We may not move His Shabbat from one day to another as it pleases us because it’s more convenient for our fleshly desires.

If we want to be HOT for Yahweh, we need to stand in agreement with His covenant, with His rules, with His commandments, with His feast dates, with His Shabbat rest appointments and with His Word. There is no other way we can be HOT and be pleasing Him in our lifestyles if we are not prepared to stand in agreement with what He ordained us to be.

Nothing must be more important than your intimacy relationship with Abba Father and your covenant agreement lifestyle because at the end of Revelation Chapter 3 there is an amazing blessing locked up for the overcomer: “The one overcoming, I will give to him to sit with Me in My throne, as I also overcame and sat with My Father in His throne.” (Rev3:21) This is an everlasting promise and will be an everlasting position which is much more important than this mortal, temporary life we are living in now.

Your victory today, is your vacancy to be filled eternally.

It is worth it to fight for it!

ISRAEL HOSTAGE FEEDBACK

Israel’s President in an interview with the BBC: The 3 hostages who were released Saturday were held in tunnels throughout the entire period. They had no contact with the outside world, and they hardly ate. They suffered from a huge number of bruises, pain and wounds.

The 3 hostages released from Hamas on Saturday February 8th was:

1. ELIYAHU SHARABIE (53)

Palestinians killed his wife, both of his daughters, his brother, and even his dog. They starved and tortured him for 491 days. They paraded and humiliated him at their last opportunity, forcing him to read lines in some sadistic show they put on.

When Eli Sharabi returned after 16 months in Hamas captivity, he founded out that his wife Lian and his two daughters, Noya and Yahel, were murdered on October 7, and that the body of his brother Yossi is being held captive by Hamas.

Eli Sharabi didn’t know what happened to his family until he was released Saturday. His only relatives left are his mom and sister.

Eli Sharabi doesn’t look like the same person. He was starved for 16 months. On Saturday he was released, returning to the empty home. His wife and teenage daughters were slaughtered by Hamas, their bodies found huddled together. His brother was kidnapped and murdered in captivity by the sadistic barbarians.

2. OHAD BEN AMI (56)

Ohad was kidnapped from Kibbutz Be’eri and his famous photo of him being led to captivity in his underwear and surrounded by armed men became one of the famous images of the October massacre.

3. OR LEVI (34).

On October 7, Or Levy watched as his wife was murdered before he was abducted to Gaza. Since then, their three-year-old son, Almog, has been in the care of relatives. On Saturday they finally got to tell Almog that his father is coming home.

Amjad Taha, a journalist from the UAE posted this photo and text on X:

“Hamas treated hostages the same way the Nazis treated Jews, starving them and keeping them in uniform, just as Hitler did to Holocaust survivors. Our hearts and prayers are with the families who have witnessed this in Israel. This inhumane act in Gaza in 2025 is beyond condemnation. May God bless you.”

There are 76 hostages still held by Gazans monsters. Many of the hostages held by so called “uninvolved civilians” or in UNRWA facilities. Red Cross are collaborators.

Sadistic Gaza society has to be defeated and de-nazified, exactly like Germans were in WW2. Trump’s plan to let them leave voluntarily, as refugees, is unbelievably generous present for murderous indoctrinated cruel Palestinians. (lelemSLP on X)

This is where the three hostages were kept until minutes before their release. A terror tunnel!

Only 9 out of the 17 hostages that are left to be released during phase 1 are still alive.

My heart is bleeding from the horrific stories of the October 7th victims and hostages. The emotional roller coaster ride isn’t over yet. The soft heart of Israelis towards life in general, and the hostages in particular, causes them all to pay unimaginable prices for their return, a fact that their enemy is well aware of and takes advantage of.

More than ever, Israel needs these days to be comforted by its newly grafted-in family. They will emerge victorious from this time. Israel’s future has been clearly communicated by Yahweh in His Word. The best is yet to come!

FRESH NEWS FROM TRUMP’S OFFICE

Trump to New York Post: “I’m interested in a nuclear deal with Iran. I’d rather have that than bomb their faces. They don’t want to die; nobody wants to die. If we make the deal, Israel won’t bomb them.” Trump is essentially giving Iran two choices – either give up your nuclear program or Israel will attack.

“Hamas has been a disaster… I watched the hostages come back today. And they looked like Holocaust survivors, they were in horrible condition. They were emaciated… I don’t know how much longer we can take that.” –President Trump Hamas is about to learn, Trump is not Biden.

Trump: “We are committed to buying Gaza and taking ownership of it. We may give parts of the territory to other countries in the Middle East to build on. We will make Gaza a good site for future development.” Trump also said that applications from Gazans who want to immigrate to the US will be reviewed individually.

What a season we are living in? What a timeline as watchman to take note of? It surreally is very exciting and such a privilege to be part of this end time generation. Let’s keep on praying for Israel and her people and get ourselves ready for the coming of the King.

And the Spirit and the Bride say COME!

REVIVE, REPENT, RESTORE AND ROAR

Shalom, Mattaniah
