What does "Spewing out of His mouth" mean?

"To those who are indifferent at this time Christ's warning is: "Because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew thee out of My mouth." Revelation 3:16. The figure of spewing out of His mouth means that
* He cannot offer up your prayers
* or your expressions of love to God.
* He cannot endorse your teaching of His word
* or your spiritual work in anywise.
*He cannot present your religious exercises
with the request that grace be given you.

Could the curtain be rolled back, could you discern the purposes of
God and the judgments that are about to fall upon a doomed world, could you see your own attitude, you would fear and tremble for your own souls and for the souls of your fellow men. Earnest prayers of heart-rending anguish would go up to heaven. You would weep between the porch and the altar, confessing your spiritual blindness and backsliding." Testimonies for the Church vol.6,p.408 E.G.W.
