Revelation 3:9 TPT “Watch how I deal with those of the synagogue of Satan who say that they are Jews but are not, for they’re lying. I will make them come and bow down at your feet and acknowledge how much I’ve loved you.“
Jesus is speaking to the church of Philadelphia. HE is speaking on how HE will deal with those who come against or disrespect them. Those who say they are Jews but are not may be you at times. It is when you act like a nominal Christian and do not respect the office of this church or ministry. In the times before, God’s people were called Jews. Now, we are called Christians or Spiritual Jews.
I have experienced many of our people, whether you are a lay believer or in leadership with us. I have experienced on both sides of the spectrum how people lie and deceive us due to their offense with no fear of consequences. But at the end of the day, all knees will bow before the Lord, one way or the other, and you will know who are the ones vindicated.
If you resist fully surrendering and submitting to the Holy Spirit, you will be brought to your knees through your suffering. This is very biblical and truth. It is mercy, not punishment.
