This he does in a special way and manner that he does not instruct and empower those without the churches, Rev 3:6<\/span>; Rev 3:22<\/span>; Rev 22:16-17<\/span>. It is clear in the scriptures that the Holy Spirit speaks to (addresses) both the unsaved and the saved thru the church, in this age Pro 1:22-30<\/span>; 2Co 6:2<\/span>; Heb 3:7<\/span>; Joh 16:7-11<\/span>; Joh 16:13<\/span>.<\/p>\n ‘He who has an ear let him hear, what the Spirit is saying or the churches.’<\/p>\n And once again Jesus tells us, ‘he who has an ear to hear, let him hear’. The constant repetition demonstrates how important and urgent it is.<\/p>\n 13 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n 14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; <\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n Ver. 14:.

To these Christ became a beginning of the creation of God; so the new birth is here called, as being of no less fame and wonder than the making of the world. <\/p>\n 13<\/strong> .] See above, ch.

The usual call at the close of the second group of the seven Epistles.<\/p>\n This is again the close and conclusion of this, as it was before of all the epistles, in which Christ calls upon all persons to hear and consider what he saith by his Spirit to this church, and to lay it deeply to heart for their instruction and admonition.
