Message from Pastor Gedelti Gueiros
One of the questions asked refers to the promise that the
Lord made to us regarding the Work of the Holy Spirit in our day, as the remnants of Sardis.
In the answer, the prophet Habakkuk is mentioned. The text of Habakkuk reads:
“Look among the nations and watch–Be utterly astounded! For I will work a work in your days which you would not believe, though it were told to you.” Habakkuk 1:5

The Preparation of the Church for the Rapture - Revelation - Part XLVIII
“Behold, you despisers”. The Lord was saying that if it were told what He was accomplishing, no one would believe it. This same text is recorded in the book of Acts of the Apostles:
“Behold, you despisers, marvel and perish! For I work a work in your days, a work which you will by no means believe, though one were to declare it to you.”
Acts 13:41
And today, the message is the same: "Behold, you despisers”. The Holy Spirit is doing a great work. God has been doing a work in our day. You will only believe in this work if you live it. Religion has dominated minds so much that it has nullified the operation of the Holy Spirit. The despisers will continue to be despisers because they don't have an experience of revelation. Those who don't have the experience are not despised. But those who have had the experience and have despised it have become part of a Christianity that speaks of a Christ who does not exist in the lives of those who profess it. This Christianity has replaced what is spiritual with what is material. It is the bread from a bakery instead of the bread of life. It confuses people by pushing them towards materialistic things.
We must understand the history that is being described in the seven letters in the book of Revelation. The important thing is to know the prophetic aspect of the history of the church. There are names of men, governments, cities, wars, but what is important is the prophetic: the operation
of the seven Spirits of God.
“The Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord.” Isaiah 11:2
In the last letter, written to Laodicea, the parable of the dragnet from Matthew 13 applies to what is being discussed.
“Again the Kingdom of heaven is like a dragnet that was cast into the sea and gathered some of every kind, which when it was full, they drew to shore; and they sat down and gathered the good into vessels, but threw the bad away.” Matthew 13:47-48
The bad fish will return to the world. The dragnet is the Holy Spirit's operation in this last hour. Only good fish go into the vessels.
It doesn't matter to the church how many people there are. What matters is that the church is within the project of

to man. What is left of Christianity? Only the name. Revelation is the one who will lead the church, because the church is going to leave. We are fighting to remain within the mysteries. Our concern is that everyone can grow in their understanding of this mystery.
From now on, we will see the separation that will be made by the angels. It's the net that has been cast. That's why now is a time to take a stance and decide: knowledge or revelation.
May the Lord Bless us,
this prophetic moment. This project is the revelation.
So, we're going to see that the church from Philadelphia onwards is the church of revelation, where the word is revealed, the ministry is revealed, life is revealed. Because the faithful church is going to be raptured.
Christianity can give nothing
