Spiritual Growth 4

PARALLELS: GARDEN OF EDEN AND THE SEVEN CHURCHES:

1. Giving away our devotion.

2. Giving ear to someone who twists Scripture.

3. Giving room to controlling spirits.

4. Giving in to going through the motions.

5. Giving up on spiritual growth.

THE APPLICATION FOR US:

1. Remember the commendation to two of the churches: 

Endurance through tough times and persecution by exercising spiritual discernment.

Faithfulness despite having little strength.

2. Listen to the Spirit of God so that you will overcome.
