How it matches our spirit... • Man was made with those 7 virtues • Virtues overcome by attributes of sin over 6000 yrs • Attributes of sin built cities – strongholds of perverted character around those virtues • To restore the virtues: • Identify the attributes of sin and separate • Virtues must be revealed and tried • Virtue must be established as a new stronghold

  13. The Angel to the Church... • One sent with the revelation of the virtue • Has the Word that will reveal and restore the virtue required for that age • Anointed to expose the attributes of sin in the age and uncover the spirit of the anti-Christ for that age. • Without recognizing him there is no redemption for the divine nature of man • His character is tied to the Son of God/ Holy Ghost character to anoint the church
