But especially when I think of the church of the west
this really proves true to me and feels true to me
that we are in this age the age of the lukewarm
and friends it is the age of the lukewarm
where we come into the place of mixture
and we come into the place of compromise
and as God is restoring the altar of the Lord
as God is calling us to return to the Lord
the first thing that he's got to do to his body
is he's got to remove the mixture
all the mixture in our hearts
all the compromise in our hearts see friends
mixture isn't just the big sins that you think of
you know when really theologically
it's not even sound for us to even think that way sin is sin
there's not really like a big sin or a little sin
there's sins that damage people more than others
you know the Bible makes delineation about those things
which I'm not going to take time to teach on
but sin is sin and so mixture
what does that mean for us today
what does that mean for me and for you
wherever God does not have our full attention
wherever God does not have our full affection
wherever God does not have our full yes
wherever we are not 100% sold out to the Lord
in utter abandonment there is mixture in our lives
and we have got to ask the Lord
to cleanse us and purify us of that
in the town of Laodicea in the topography of Laodicea
there was a place up toward the left
when you're looking out
over the Amphithea of Laodicea
there's a place up toward the left
it's a place called Pamukkale
that's the modern term
Hierapolis would have been the ancient term
but Pamukkale is what they call it today
and there are there are Mineral Springs there
just like in Pagosa Springs
Colorado and other places
there are Mineral Springs there
and the hot water
from these Mineral Springs would run down
off of the high place where that was
and into the valley of Laodicea
and then if you look to your right
you'll see Colossia where we get our book of Colossians
right there was the city of Colossia
and there was a mountain spring
a cold and refreshing mountain spring from Colossia
and it would run down also
but where they would meet in the middle
in Laodicea actually the ancient
Romans believed that vomiting would make you healthy
if you were sick if you were overweight
if you were sick if you were whatever
they believe that vomiting would make you healthy
and they built vomitariums
places where people would go to vomit
in Laodicea
that is what the water of Laodicea was actually
known for and was actually used for
and that's why you read in the scripture
if we would read the
the letter to the church of Laodicea actually
some of your versions say that because you're lukewarm
the Lord says I'll spit you out of my mouth
but actually, it's not a strong enough word
in the original Greek word
it's exactly what it sounds like exactly
what the water of Laodicea was expressly used for
and it is the word vomit
I will vomit you out of my mouth
right though hot water had a purpose
the cold water had a purpose
that hot water's purpose
was to bring healing to your body
people still do that today
I'm taking a group in we're going to go there
and people are going to you know
heal their wounded muscles and everything
by bathing in the hot springs
it had a purpose that was good for the body
the cold water had a purpose that was good
to refresh the weary person who needed a drink of cold
clear water but the purpose
when they mixed together the purpose
when they came into that compromise
of both of those sources of water
was lost and the only thing that was good for any more
was to be vomited out of their mouth and friends
that is the mixture that we have in the body of Christ
today Jesus said that
if the light inside of you becomes darkness
how great is that darkness
if there is living water inside of me
and this living water inside of me is to refresh somebody
or to heal somebody or to serve an actual purpose
if that living water inside of me becomes mixed
if that living water inside of me becomes compromised
then what am I good for
that was supposed to be living water
poured out on a weary dry world
only becomes that which makes them want to vomit
Christianity out of their mouth
makes them want to vomit what I'm saying
out of their mouth
and so, we've got to remove the mixture
we've got to remove anything in us
and friends the hour demands that we align ourselves
the hour demands the hour is later than we think it is
I own wherever I go you know
some places receive me some places think man
when is that guy going to shut up
