(Hebrews 4:1-3) “[1] Therefore, let us fear, that although the promise of entering his rest remains, some of you may not be able to come. [2] Like them, we too have been preached of the gospel, [3] We who have already believed enter into that rest, as he said, as he has sworn in my wrath, that they will not enter my rest. It has been done since creation.”
5. Seven Churches
(1 John 5:4, King James Version) “For everyone who is born of God overcomes the world, and this is the victory that has overcome the world, our faith.”

② The way of the loser

(Rev 2:11, King James Version) “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches, for he who overcomes will not be harmed by the second death.”
(Rev 2:17, King James Version) “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give the hidden manna, and I will give a white stone, and a new name is written on the stone, except to the one who receives it. No one knows his name.”
(Rev 2:26, King James Version) “I will give authority over the nations to him who overcomes and keeps my works to the end.”
(Rev 3:5, King James Version) “He who overcomes will thus be clothed in white robes, and I will not blot out his name from the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father and before his angels.”

6. Paul's Two Talking People
① Spiritual person
② physical person
(Romans 8:6, King James Version) “The mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace.”
Discernment and power of angels: Discern with God's wisdom (love) and truth.
The direction of the angels of heaven - It is the direction that puts the Lord in front of you no matter which direction you turn.
Jesus in front of the center face of the angel of heaven, the center and flow of man- toward the earth
Conclusion) The victory of those who believe and go forward toward the Lord by faith
(John 14:6, New International Version) “Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through me.”
(John 8:38, King James Version) “I speak what I have seen from my Father, and you do what you heard from your father.
