Revelation 3.15-17

In nature these three states refer to the intensity with which an object or liquid is measured or valued, and according to this we can determine if it is useful or not. For example: in a place where it is too cold or we are in that state we crave something hot (a coffee, a fire or a blanket, etc.), on the contrary if we are in a place too hot, we crave something cold. As you will notice in the passage that we are seeing, this is what the Lord Jesus was referring to in relation to the church of those times and that today the same church (the believers) are living; a state of spiritual warmth, where man only has his eyes fixed on the material, without caring about the spiritual, because for him what really has value is what he possesses (house, car, bank accounts, etc.), in this type of people it is possible to ask the following question: Where is God in you? Of course, He is very distant or definitely does not exist, since material riches fill your whole heart; because remember that the Holy Word of God says << Because where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Matthew 6.21

I ask you, is this your case? Because if it is, then you are a warm person; and a lukewarm Christian Faith is an incredulous and mediocre who has not yet given himself to Christ, and is compared to the waters that came from the mountains and traveled 10 km in an aqueduct and that reached the warm city and did not cool, they caused vomiting. This is why the Lord addresses the lukewarm believers and tells them that he will vomit them, that is, that he abhors them, repudiates them, rejects them, that they are not pleasing to Him; and even more he calls them MISERABLE, WORTHY, POOR, BLIND AND NAKED. Now do you think that because you have a little wealth you do not need God? Please!! Let me get you out of your mistake; you are what you are and what you have thanks to the goodness of God, to his mercy, that if it were not like that you would not have absolutely anything, it is more or you would not exist, because what you have He has given you (your family, your children, your health, life itself), then to boast if we are not worthy of anything; no matter how great the material wealth that you have accumulated up to the present day, it will help if the day you leave will not take you away, since everything material is temporary, it does not last forever, and many times as one day it goes away . My friend does not serve to be prosperous in the material and poor in the spiritual, because it is not the same to walk with Christ than without Him, since the emptiness that many times we feel in the soul nobody can fill, even when all our loved ones are together with us, because that joy will only last as long as they remain by our side, then comes the loneliness and sadness, and that is when the promise of Jesus takes on great significance and is fulfilled in those true believers as he wrote us "I will not leave you nor forsake you, behold, I will be with you every day until the end of the world" that beautiful promise, that with the simple act of reading it and believing it with the heart, captivates you, it gives you the courage and strength to continue and not stop; He lifts you up and makes you smile with hope and assurance that only with the help of God can you be victorious, because only the power of God can make everything that seems impossible to you, He can do it for you.

God does not want to see you as miserable, nor does he want to see you poor, much less cause pity, because that is not what He wants for his children; God wants strong, courageous, confident and confident children; true warriors willing to give even life itself if necessary by the Holy Name of Jesus. That they are able to face the adversities convinced that they will be victorious only with the help of the Lord. This can only be achieved by going from the state of TIBIEZA in which you are to the HOT, since the cold is about to freeze and in the waiting room of death. Remember that in ancient times the greatest discovery that the man of the caves made was fire, because through it he got warm, learned to cook his food, served to scare the beasts and then gave him many uses. In the Faith the fire is the synonym of the Holy Spirit, because that was what Moses saw in the bush. THE FIRE OF GOD !!

Today you have the opportunity to move from a lamenting state to a triumphant one; from you it depends on no one else that you are accepted in the eyes of God or that you are rejected, because He is waiting for you to recognize that you are a miserable before Him, that you are a needy, a leper, that you need only a touch of the Master, so that you may be transformed by the GRACE OF YOUR SAVIOR AND LORD.

you can not be in half temperatures, God does not like that we are warm, this means that our delivery must be complete.
