Theme: Jesus Christ want us to get back to His business, precious lost souls.
I've observed the spiritual game going on in many brick-and-mortar buildings; it took me about 15 years to notice.
Some preachers tell you what you want to hear; they make the message a cushion to get the cash in your wallet or purse. They are very much into making merchandise of the sheep. Satan has ordained sinister ministers; the enemy of our souls learned about ordaining in heaven. Both God and Satan know how to read the room to check the temperature. The internet is a big room, and temperatures are being checked. Please believe it; thanks in advance.
A need-to-know fact is that this type of leadership, once they know that you've been woke by the Holy Spirit, won't want anything to do with you. That's the spirit within them that doesn't want anything to do with the spirit of truth.
Ezekiel 28:14 states, 'You were anointed as a guardian cherub, for so I ordained you. You were on the holy mount of God; you walked among the fiery stones.'
Story time: God ordained the guardian cherub; that's who God created. However, the guardian cherub didn't want to be who God created him to be. Satan is the one who ordains leaders that play spiritual games and false prophets. I've seen the enemy of our souls working for years, and God's people in the audience don't know that they are being put under a spell, witchcraft. They do not know how to use their fruit inspector's license; sadly, it's true. I've been down that road as well; I didn't know what a fruit inspector's license was. Our fruit is what we do and say.
Wisdom speaks: What's in the root will be in the fruit.
Matthew 7:15-20 states, 'You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore, by their fruits, you will know them.'
2 Timothy 4:3 states, 'For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but having itching ears, they shall heap to themselves teachers in accordance with their own lusts.' Apostle Paul wrote this letter to his mentee between A.D. 64 and 67. We are in 2025, and the same things are going on; it's nothing new under the sun, including the demonic.
Take note of 2 Timothy 4:3, Apostle Paul's final letter to his mentee, Timothy, charging him to hold to the true gospel and endure hardship because people would eventually reject sound doctrine in favor of teachers who cater to their desires, an attitude described as having 'itching ears.'
Apostle Peter wrote 2 Peter 2:3 mid-to-late first century A.D. (c. 60–67 A.D.); we are in 2025. These things are still going on; it's nothing new under the sun, including the demonic.
2 Peter 2:3 highlights the presence of false teachers within the early church who were motivated by greed and used false words and distorted scripture to exploit believers for personal gain.
Conclusion:
Revelation 3:16 was written around 95 or 96 A.D. We are in 2025; do you see how long people have been allowing Satan to do this to them and through them? It's nothing new under the sun, including the demonic.
Revelation 3:16 states, 'But since you are like lukewarm water, neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth!' Take note that Revelation 3:16 is spoken by Jesus to the church at Laodicea, which was known for its wealthy, self-sufficient, and complacent spiritual state. The phrase 'lukewarm' serves as a metaphor, referencing the city's lukewarm drinking water from an aqueduct, and symbolizes nominal, half-hearted Christianity that is spiritually useless and disgusting to Christ. Jesus desires fervent commitment (hot) or complete rejection (cold), but finds the lukewarm indifference of the Laodicean church so repulsive that He threatens to 'spit them out' of His mouth, a strong indication of His rejection and disgust.
In today's digital age, the spiritual landscape has expanded beyond brick-and-mortar churches into vast online communities where spiritual teachings are widely disseminated. This increased access makes it crucial for believers to sharpen their ability to discern true doctrine from falsehoods. As highlighted in the article's theme and supported by the phrase from the image OCR, "MY FaThers Business," we are reminded that Jesus entrusted us with the vital responsibility of rescuing lost souls and advancing the gospel. The Scriptures warn extensively about false teachers who exploit others for personal gain, using pleasing words to manipulate believers. For instance, 2 Peter 2:3 reveals how such individuals distort scripture through greed and falsehood, a warning that remains relevant today in both physical and online ministries. Modern believers must therefore cultivate their "fruit inspector’s license," an analogy for discerning the authenticity of spiritual leaders and the fruits of their teachings, as Matthew 7:15-20 instructs. Good fruit—such as love, humility, and truth—reflects godly leadership, whereas bad fruit indicates deception. Furthermore, Ezekiel 28:14 tells us about the anointing of the guardian cherub, showing how even divinely appointed roles can be rebelled against, mirroring Satan’s ordaining of false spiritual authorities to deceive the flock. This spiritual warfare continues intensely in our era. The mention of "reading the room" and "checking the temperature" emphasizes how both good and evil forces assess the spiritual condition of their audience, be it in churches or online gatherings. It highlights the importance of spiritual vigilance and the need for believers to be rooted firmly in truth. Revelation 3:16’s depiction of the lukewarm Laodicean church challenges believers today to avoid complacency and half-hearted faith. The metaphor of "lukewarm water" serves as a powerful reminder that Jesus desires either passionate commitment or complete rejection—but never spiritual indifference. This message is especially pertinent in a culture prone to distractions and superficial engagement with faith. As 2025 unfolds, the call to return to "My Father’s business" invites each believer to engage actively and discerningly in the mission of Christ. Whether encountering teaching in person or online, the lasting challenge is to pursue enduring sound doctrine and to share the gospel that transforms lives rather than catering to itching ears that seek comfort over truth. This ongoing commitment honors the work Jesus began and upholds the call to bring precious lost souls back to Him.
