Conclusion for Now in Revelation of the Study of the 7 Churches
We must always Watch, Strengthen, Hold Fast, Repent and Overcome!
Good morning to all.
To begin, if you would like to keep this all together in one place, here are the other 4 Parts on HKP of the study of the 7 Churches in Revelation.
Part 1 — “Horse Head, EPiStLeS and Further Understanding“
Part 2 — “‘EPiStLeS’ — Let’s Study for Now Five of the 7 Churches in Revelation“
Part 3 — “The Remaining Two Churches in Revelation Recorded“
Part 4 — “Continuing on to Study the 7 Churches in Revelation“
This is Part 5, with specifically the Last 3 Churches in Revelation 3, referred to.
On January 11, 2022 I saw a Vision of a small “l” with the Word ‘Key’ attached to it. Like “IKey“. I do believe the small l stood for the church at ‘Laodicea’ in verse 14 near the end here.
Next, this Article on HKP seems very pertinent to this study! I hope and pray Elaine does not mind me inserting it here. I feel the enemy may have caused many not to see, or at least respond to that precious, needed Word!
If you will take the time to read her Word, that is the ‘l key‘, I saw. The Word she gave speaks enough about what must be done!
“Come Back to Your First Love“
Moving on, I heard the word in the Spirit ‘Knock’, while listening to my Audio Bible in Chapter 3. (verse 20 Chapter 3)
I then saw a Vision of a ‘white’ joint’ piece’ like used in plumbing. The scripture that came to me clearly and immediately as I prayed was Ephesians 4:16.
“From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.”
The time I saw the vision was precisely at 10:37. It seemed relevant.
( To note as before, while I am ‘not’ into ‘numerology’, sometimes I do feel to look up numbers through Strong’s Concordance. )
In Hebrew H1037 — Beth Millo, the name of two citadels-house of Millo. In Greek G1037 — the bottom, the depth.
God bless you all as we always seek to study and to rightly divide the word of truth. Closing with a song at the end.
“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15.
“And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.
Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God.
Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.
Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.
He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth; I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.
Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
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; I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.” Revelation 3:1-22.
“Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.” Ecclesiastes 12:13.
“Jesus said unto him, “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.” Matthew 22:37-40.

~ Joyce D. McGuire
My name is Joyce D. McGuire, called to work in and for the Kingdom of God! To lead we must try to follow Jesus Christ closely. That is my heart. I am a Chaplain to the prisons; prophetic intercessor by His grace; author; and a Mother in the Kingdom of God. To many I am simply Mama Joyce. Some favorite verses of mine are Matthew 11:28-30.
I return to the “l”. This letter is pronounced “el”, which is the first syllable and also the common factor of the name Elijah, Ēlīyyāhū in Hebrew and Elias in Greek. [“El” alone is translated as “God”, which may explain why the “l” for Elijah is given only as a lower-case letter.] If this indeed relates to Elijah, it may throw more light on the significance of the vision of the connecting “joint”, since Elijah’s ministry may be described as one of “joining” the generations,
“Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet
Before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.
And he will turn
The hearts of the fathers to the children,
And the hearts of the children to their fathers,
Lest I come and strike the earth with a curse.” [Malachi 4:5-6]
This interpretation stands on the fact that the Lord also prophesied that Elijah would come:
“Jesus answered and said to them, “Indeed, Elijah is coming first and will restore all things.” [Matthew 17:11],
and that the fulfilment must surely be seen in the context of the other events prophesied in the book of Revelation.
And, the church at Laodicea? Their problem is that they are “neither hot nor cold” [Revelation 3:16] – or neither one thing nor another. Their state is remarkably similar to the earlier state of Israel, which – again – Elijah – was called to address:
“And Elijah came to all the people, and said, “How long will you falter between two opinions? If the LORD is God, follow Him; but if Baal, follow him.” But the people answered him not a word.” [1 Kings 18:21]
There is another similarity in that Elijah also prayed down fire onto the altar, while the Laodicean church is offered refining fire.
I believe that a desire for worldly prosperity was instrumental to the Baal worship that Elijah confronted. We also know that the material wealth of the Laodicean church is associated with her spiritual poverty. Thus. I believe the refining ministry of Elijah is coming to the Laodicean church – and particularly to the prophetic.
Thank you Mark. It makes sense and does fit. Both your responses here.
It seemed as I kept looking at both comments, this stood out.
“Thus I believe the refining ministry of Elijah is coming to the Laodicean church – and particularly to the prophetic.”
Just to share here I know there is an Elijah Ministry. I will never forget like in 1999 a vision I had of ‘Elijah the prophet’.
He was standing by my ‘mantle’ in my bedroom of my house. He stamped ‘777’ on my forehead. It was so real, it felt I actually met him, although a vision.
Still since then the Lord has told me that if we have ‘His number’ on us, which is ‘777’ being the ‘fullness’ we won’t take no mark of the beast which is the number of a man.. ‘666’. Thanks my brother. I want to get still and study on all you shared. God bless.
Joyce, Thank you. I believe there are some for whom the Father predetermined before the foundation of the world that they would not take the mark of the beast.
Regarding the 777, I recently had a short dream about the number 343. I have a head for numbers, and, while not understanding the significance of this dream, nor knowing if it even was significant, do know that 343 is the cube of 7 or 7x7x7, another form of three sevens.
Another thought I leave with you: there is a claim that the book of Revelation – and Matthew – was first written in Hebrew and later translated into the Greek from which we get the English versions.
Soon after my posting, I discovered this message from Mary Ann Peluso McGahan [https://jimbakkershow.com/watch/?guid=4305]. I am now careful to whom I listen, and listen to fewer people than I did before, but I sense a holiness upon this woman who used to minister alongside David Wilkerson. She gave a confirmation about a cleaning up of the prophetic, to which you also witness.
God bless you!
Thank you, Mark. Interesting the 343 and all you spoke!
I wish to check this out, the message by Mary Ann.
I understand that…
We have to be very careful and try the spirits constantly with everyone…
David Wilkerson was so very instrumental to sowing into my life when maybe 33 or so . The Book “The Cross and the Switchblade” impacted me.
I read it over and over and knew he was the real deal!
God bless you and thank you again.
Thank you as always for your response Shelley.
To just pull one quote from Elaine’s note above:
“He’s calling you to come back to your first love. He wants to reignite the fire and rekindle the flame.”
The church of ‘Laodecia’ was lacking the love you so mentioned.
So the ‘key’ I see for the ‘Laodecia’ church is to come back and return!
Jesus is speaking for us to RETURN to our beginning experience of where we loved Him with all our heart, soul and mind! Then the 2nd commandmandment to love our neighbor as ourselves.
I wondered but felt that was why the Holy Spirit had me
exiting the note with Ecc 12:13 and Mat.22:37-40.
Love will conquer all. Love will Win! As you spoke faith, hope and love but love is the greatest!
Thank you again precious Shelley! Hugs
Philippians 1:9-10 tPt
I continue to pray for your love to grow and increase beyond measure, bringing you into the rich revelation of spiritual insight in all things.
This will enable you to choose the most excellent way of all —becoming pure and without offense until the unveiling of Christ.
1 Corinthians 13:4-7, 8a, 10
Love is large and incredibly patient. Love is gentle and consistently kind to all. It refuses to be jealous when blessing comes to someone else. Love does not brag about one’s achievements nor inflate its own importance. Love does not traffic in shame and disrespect, nor selfishly seek its own honor. Love is not easily irritated or quick to take offense. Love joyfully celebrates honesty and finds no delight in what is wrong. Love is a safe place of shelter, for it never stops believing the best for others. Love never takes failure as defeat, for it never gives up….
Love never stops loving
but when love’s perfection arrives, the partial will fade away.
2 Timothy 2:1 tPt
Grace to Overcome
Timothy, my dear son, live your life empowered by God’s free-flowing grace, which is your true strength, found in the anointing of Jesus and your union with him!
Overcome every form of evil as a victorious soldier of Jesus the Anointed One. For every soldier called to active duty must divorce himself from the distractions of this world so that he may fully satisfy the one who chose him.(2 Timothy 2:3-4)
ahhh yes. Mama Joyce…The WHOLE body perfectly joined together/ fit together in love…THATS what supplies “fat n health” to the “marrow”… in the bones…
Without it we are hardened and diseased…like “arthritis”…
1 Corinthians 13:8a, 10 tPt
8a Love never stops loving….
…but when love’s perfection arrives, the partial will fade away.
Until then, there are three things that remain: faith, hope, and love—yet love surpasses them all. So above all else, let love be the beautiful prize for which you run.
(1Corinthians 13:13 tPt)
