The blood of the Lamb {Faith in the Cross}
Understand, believe and stand firm in the message of the Cross, for it is power to those who believe
1. Crown of thorns:- Jesus wore the crown of thorns and thistles and His blood has destroyed all the curses on Adam (Gen 3:17-19), Jesus bore all your hurts, rejections, bitterness, etc. on the cross (Matt 27:29-30)
2. Sweat of Blood:- Jesus suffered great agony and sweated blood to destroy the curse on Adam (Gen 3:17-19) so that your needs and provision will be fulfilled. God will supply all your need if you trust and serve Him. (Luke 22:44)
3. Stipes by Whipping:- Jesus was whipped so that by His stripes you are healed. He bore your sins of hatred, unforgiveness, jealousy, wickedness, and pride. Even your physical body is healed if you do not sin anymore. (1 Pet 2:24)
4. Hung on the Cross:- Jesus died on the tree (Cross) so that His blood can redeem you from all your curses including those caused by the sins of your forefathers. (Gal 3:13)
5. Poured our Blood:- Jesus poured out His blood after His death so that all your sins, iniquities, and transgressions are forgiven when you believe that He is the Son of God.
6. Obedient to the Death:- Jesus was obedient to the point of death, therefore God made Him Lord and exalted His name above all names (Phi 2:8-11). He has given you the authority of His name to cast out demons, to heal the sick, to set captives free, etc.
7. Jesus tasted Death:- Jesus died so that His victory over the power of death, sets you free from the bondage of the fear of death. (Heb 2:14-15)

The word of his testimony {Faith in the Word of God}
|
|
You should abide by the Word of God and live a life-style of complete faith and trust in the Lord. e.g. Lay not treasure on earth but lay up treasure in heaven means giving your money to the poor without any hesitation or excuse. The Holy Spirit will teach, guide, and lead you into all Truth (obedience to the word of God). You will be able to testify His faithfulness in healing your sicknesses, deliverance of your financial problems, annointed you to cast out demons, heal the sick, perform signs and wonders, etc. and empowered you to be tranformed to be Christ's like in accordance to the Word of God.. Today, you are like Paul, Hudson Taylor, Mother Theresa, etc. who had given up their lives to serve the Almighty God in loving the unloved, wicked and sinful fellow human.
...whom having not seen you love.. receiving the end of your faith -- the salvation of your soul. 1 Pet 1:6-9

Love not his life to the death {Faith in the Promises of God}
|
|
These are Christians who have decided to follow Jesus at all cost. They have crucified their flesh and are death to this world and the things therein. The love of God that abides in them has transformed them so that their only care in this world is for the salvation and rewards of their sheep and the unbelievers. Their eyes are only looking at heaven and they live to please God. Their only rewards that they desire, is the Lord's approval.

You rejoice in being partakers of His sufferings and death that you too may be glorified with Him. Give your body as a living sacrifice to God. Rom 12:1-2
if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together. For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God. Rom 8:17b-19
For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory. 2 Cor 4:17
For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain. Phil 1:21
All those who live their lives according to the instruction of the Lord will overcome the deception and wicked schemes of the evil one. He will be able to discern and overcome the deceptive heresies and wrong teachings found rampant in the churches today. (Read more on Destructive Heresies)

The Male Child
|
|
Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars. Then being with child, she cried out in labour and in pain to give birth..... And the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to give birth, to devour her Child as soon as it was born. She bore a male Child,who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron. Rev 12:1-5
|
|
She bore a male Child,who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron.
|
"And he who overcomes, and keeps My works until the end, to him I will give power over the nations-- 'He shall rule them with a rod of iron;...." Rev 2:26-27
|
And her Child was caught up to God and His throne.
|
"To him who overcomes, I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne." Rev 3:21
|
From this verse (Rev 2:18-28), it can be seen that the male Child is an overcomer in the Thyatira church. This shows how you too can be an overcomer and receive the reward of a king to rule in the Kingdom of heaven, with our Lord Jesus as the King of kings. This verse (Rev 3:14-22) tells us that he is also an overcomer in the Laodicean church, and he will be granted the privilege to sit on the throne of Jesus to rule with Him. Only His bride will be given this privilege.
Therefore, the male Child represents the overcomers
Then, the glorious woman in Rev 12 will represent the glorious Church of our Lord Jesus Christ in the End-time (possibly after the 4th Seal) just before the martyrdom of the 5th Seal. However, when the male Child (representing the overcoming Christians, who are proven by the testings with trials and tribulations, temptations, persecutions and even martyrdom when on earth) is born at Rapture, our Lord takes them to His throne in heaven.

But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction. And many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed. By covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words; for a long time their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction does not slumber. 2 Pet 2:1-3
