The Tragedy Of A Dead Assembly(Church).
The presence of God is with and dwells in the individual believer in Christ, in the person of the Holy Spirit. The tragedy is in believers living from day to day without any consciousness of the Holy Spirit who is with them and lives in them. An assembly of believers who do not live & walk in the consciousness of the indwelling Holy Spirit who is with them and in them, is a "dead" assembly/church. This is the very word the Lord Jesus used to describe the sad spiritual state of the assembly/church in Sardis where he revealed himself as he that has the seven Spirits of God: 👇🏽 "And to the angel of the assembly in Sardis write: These things saith he that has the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars: I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, but art dead." Revelation 3:1. A state of spiritual death/deadness found not in the world but in the assembly/church of Christ, it is thus a very abnormal condition. Imagine a dead assembly/church/candle
