of Christ, preparing it for the rapture.
“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” Revelation 3:6
Message from pastor Gedelti Gueiros:
Before we answer the topics, we would like to point out that our main concern is to situate ourselves within what we are preaching in this project, in Sardis.
As a church, we are inserted into the letter of Sardis. It is a necessary insertion for us to understand where we are within the prophetic project for the church.
The church in Sardis is “the things which remain, that are ready to die”. When the Lord brought us to this prophetic moment we are living in, he gave us an opportunity.
The project of the early church was doctrine, the breaking of
bread, communion and prayer.
“And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers.” Acts 2:42
The church doesn’t need any more than this. This is the moment the church is living. The revival is in this. Joel prophesied:
“And it shall come to pass afterward that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, you’re your men shall see visions.” Joel 2:28
We need to understand our position in the face of the outpouring of the Spirit. We need to define our position, because we are facing a moral, material, political and spiritual mismatch in this world. There is a world immersed in madness. But there is a way. We don’t need to leave it. We just have to follow the path, walk on it.
“Your ears shall hear a word
behind you, saying, “This is the way, walk in it,” whenever you turn to the right hand or whenever you turn to the left.” Isaiah 30:21
This Christianity that is there will lead man to condemnation.
There has been a revival in several churches. But why have so

many gone astray? Today, our concern is that there should be no deviation. The worst thing that has happened in Christianity is this deviation. And the result of this deviation has led Christianity to superstition and mysticism.
We are few, we are weak, but we want to do what the Holy Spirit is commanding. The outpouring of the Holy Spirit at this time is intended to prepare the church for the rapture. The Holy Spirit wants to gather those who are scattered. That’s what we want. Those who are still far away will come near.
“So that servant came and reported these things to his master. Then the master of the house, being angry, said to his servant, ‘Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in here the poor and the maimed and the lame and the blind’.“ Luke 14:21
The lame are those who have difficulty walking. The blind can’t see: they need to be guided. The lame have no straight path. The crippled are those who only go if they are carried. The crippled, the lame and the feeble do not bow on their knees. We used to be like that. But the Lord brought us into his Work and healed us.
We came out of the rubble of a defeated Christianity, with no message and nothing to offer. This Christianity has lost its way, its path, because it doesn’t know where it’s going.
Samson’s Riddle:
“So he said to them: “Out of the eater came something to eat, and out of the strong came something sweet.” Now for three days they could not explain the riddle.” Judges 14:14
Nobody understood Samson’s riddle. The third day speaks of the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus. What is this riddle? What is its meaning?
The lion was slain. Not by Samson’s strength, but by the power of the Holy Spirit. Jesus was led to Calvary by the power of the Holy Spirit. Only on the seventh day of the wedding was the riddle revealed. It is the time of the church, at sunset. At the midnight cry, the church will leave. Samson deciphered the riddle. Jesus is an enigma. Seven ages have passed. The church, in every age, has been crying out, asking the Lord Jesus to reveal himself. And the riddle has been revealed in this hour.
“So the men of the city said to him on the seventh day before the sun went down: “What is sweeter than honey? And what is stronger than a lion?” And he said to them: “If you had not plowed with my heifer, you would not have solved my riddle!”.” Judges 14:18
From the eater came something to eat and from the strong came something sweet. What is sweeter than Jesus’ death? What is stronger than his resurrection?
When the Holy Spirit fulfills his mission, it will go up to His Father’s house.
The Book of Song of Solomon: In Song of Solomon, the whole subject refers to the history of the Church, showing the death and resurrection of Jesus and the rapture of the Church
As bodas de Caná:
At the wedding, the prophecy
is that there will be no more wine because it is the last outpouring of the Holy Spirit to prepare the church for the rapture.
May the Lord Bless us.
