Today we are approaching a special day for the world, when we are going to deliver a Word about the mo-
ment we are living in. And the subject concerns Trumpets and Feasts.
We are seeing all the people at work. The subjects that are being brought up, in these last moments, are for everyone to appropriate the teachings and apply them to their lives.
We need to seek communion with the Lord. We are seeing the whole world moving around the Word of God. Naturally, there is a great deal of exclusion, because the world does not want God to participate in

man’s life. It’s a time when man wants to live like an animal, immersed in a reason that has no limits.
The Faithful Church is focused on the Word because it is the only way out. In our study of the letters of Revelation, we see the real situation of a church that is talking about God, Christ, about Christianity, but without any commitment to the operation of the Holy Spirit. The result of this is that God is being rejected. The theologians themselves have concluded that they don’t believe in God.
Christianity is that which accepts everything: it comprises a religion without meaning. This Christianity has a historical, cultural, and political aspect. But what does that matter if the most important thing is eternal life! So our concern is to say that
there is an eternity with God. When man is faced with the passage from this life to another, despair comes. When people see the situation the world is in, worry comes.
What we’re going to say next Sunday (Trumpets and Feasts) is what we’re saying every day: Man has created a religion for himself that no longer has any meaning.
Religion itself has taken it upon itself to show that God has no value because it has valued man, institutions, liturgies, and excluded the Holy Spirit. But the soul is not nourished by these elements, but by the presence of the living God.
“My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.
When shall I come and appear before God?” Psalms 42:2 Man was not born to die, but to live.
“[...] I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly” John 10:10
The Lord Jesus promised blessing for this life and especially for eternal life. Time passed and people didn’t want to listen.

People confuse religion with the true God. In the book of Song of Solomon there is a passage that shows people looking for Jesus in the streets, in the squares, in the movements. That’s what’s happening these days. But when he turns away from all that, he finds the Lord Jesus.
“Scarcely had I passed by them, When I found the one I love.”
Song of Solomon 3:4
The soul doesn’t thirst for religion. The soul thirsts for the living God. You don’t need to change your religion, but you do need to change your life. It’s the inner life that matters. Religion excluded God a long time ago.
Thyatira means “continual sacrifices”. The church, at this time, excluded doctrine, the sacrifice of Jesus and faith. This religion has included thousands of gods who save. But the Bible says that there is only one savior, one mediator between God and man.
“For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus,” I Timothy 2:5
Religion has already shown that it has nothing. Religion will end. And we can see that it is already ending. Temples are being abandoned. The world doesn’t want religion because the god of the ages is already being worshipped by those who have excluded the saving God, the God of life.
At the time of Thyatira, the woman put yeast in the three measures of flour. She replaced the three elements: the Word, the body and faith.
The Word we want to leave for your life is: “Come to Jesus,

because he wants to save you. He wants to remove this tangle from your mind, so that you can feel God’s presence through his Word”.
May the Lord bless us.
