Revelation 2:24: Now to you I say, and to the rest in Thyatira, as many as do not have this doctrine, who have not known the depths of Satan, as they say, I will put on you no other burden.
Jesus and His Word
Not everyone in the assembly was unfaithful to the Lord, and He had a special word for them. They had separated themselves from the false doctrine and compromising practices of Jezebel and her followers, which Christ denounces as “the depths of Satan.” The Lord had no special demands to make; He simply wanted them to hold fast in their resistance to evil. 1
Jesus and His Ways
- Jesus, please defend me from the subtle attacks of the devil. May I seek your forgiveness every night, before I sleep. – “Be angry, and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your wrath, nor give place to the devil.” Ephesians 4:26–27
- Jesus, please make me suit up every morning when I awake. May I be ready and prepared, before I get out of bed. – “Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” Ephesians 6:11–12
- Jesus, please train me to become a disciplined and diligent solider. May I experience the daily victories of my Victorious King. – “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.” 1 Peter 5:8
