First Love

First Love

I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience . . .

Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks…

First Love

First Love as seen in Revelation 2:1-7

I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:

…First Love… -Revelation 2:4

And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name’s sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.

Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.

Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.

But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.

…Tree of Life… -Revelation 2:7

He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.

First Love – 3 Keys:

1. First Love

2. Hate Evil

3. Hear the Spirit

Truckers are returning to their First Love – Jesus Christ!

First Love – 3 Attributes:

1. Works

2. Labor

3. Patience

“To the person that overcomes, will the Spirit give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God. -Revelation 2:7 KJV”

First Love – 3 Action Steps:

1. Remember your story before you were saved.

2. Repent

3. Do the first works

 
 
As a footnote: Please go over and read The Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Ephesians. It’s a short read, it’s the book just after Galatians. This should give more understanding of why the Spirit spoke here in Revelation 2:1-7. Ephesus -Wikipedia.

 
 

Respectfully in JESUS,

First Love

Yes… I have a life vision of one million people in heaven because I lived. As a preacher, minister and missionary; along with my thirty-nine year career as a professional driver; I am consistently looking for ways to touch people for heaven. Because to be saved through Jesus Christ is REAL. -Read Acts 2:21

About JOHN CHOQUE.

THANK YOU for your faith. I preach, minister, and build from a perspective of living on the road as a trucker for most of my life, forty years and well over three million miles. The road is a hard lifestyle and thus builds a hard preaching style. Being direct and having a mindset that says, I may never see you again, puts grit into my ministry. People either like it or they don't. Turn onto JESUS! Because, this may be your last chance! We just don't know what's around the next bend in the road... or in our life, is that right? Now, simply call out to JESUS like the Holy Bible says in Acts 2:21 KJB.
—JC.

    This word came to me first thing this morning when I started my morning prayer time. Why? I have no idea, other than Revelation 2:1-7 seems to resonate with my heart. So I filmed a short video and penned a short post. Cheers!

    This is one of those unknown post or rather bible reading that one doesn’t have a clear reason why the Spirit led me to read Revelation 2:1-7. My mind is really working overtime and thinking about those seven verses. God is amazing!

DISCLAIMER. This entire missionary church street ministry website is in a constant state of updating, refreshing, revision, and polishing. Our attempt is to be current in the word of truth and to be touching people for heaven in our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Things which are not seen are eternal. The content in this website is based upon Preacher John Choque's life with God. Your life with God may be completely different. The one and only source of absolute truth is the word of God; specifically the English translation as authorized by King James I, the Authorized Version 1611, the Holy Bible, now commonly called, the King James Bible. I, Preacher John Choque, completely do not agree with any other English bible other than the Authorized King James Bible, KJB. Perfectly understand, that my experiences and my knowledge of ministry is based upon about fifty years of life as a minister of the Lord Jesus Christ, my Saviour. I am baptized with the Holy Ghost. I speak with new tongues. I have witnessed all signs following as per the gospel of Mark, Sixteen: Fifteen to Twenty. I have witnessed the spiritual gifts of the Holy Ghost as per First Corinthians, Twelve, in my ministry over the decades. The common Christian will generally not have the same results as I do. Why? I think it is because of the peculiar call of God on each Minister's life and Christian's life. Now, this Disclaimer will adjust as greater clarity is gained. Nothing on JohnChoque.org website, nor any of our other associated websites, including but not limited to the church portion of this website, platform, or services, nor any portion thereof constitutes actual or implied physical, personal, spiritual, psychological, legal, health, financial, or regulatory advice, opinion, or recommendation by JohnChoque.org, or Robert John Choque, and/or all persons associated with this church and ministry.
