Who speaks to us today?

Who speaks to our heart today? 

The One who is holy and true. The One who has the key of David.

~~~

Are we burdened by our past?  He closes it.

Are we anxious about our future?  He opens it! 

“Write this letter to the angel of the church in Philadelphia.  This is the message from the one who is holy and true, the one who has the key of David.  What he opens, no one can close; and what he closes, no one can open...  ~Revelation 3:7

Sometimes, we don't feel strong enough in our faith to be called God's children.  Some days we don't feel strength at all.

Is it today?

Listen to what the Lord says to us today.  Listen to what God sees in us today.  Listen to what God promises and prophesy's into us today and for tomorrow--because we are obeying His word and not denying Him.

“I know all the things you do, and I have opened a door for you that no one can close. 

You have little strength, yet you obeyed my word and did not deny me. 

(9) Look, I will force those who belong to Satan’s synagogue—those liars who say they are Jews but are not—to come and bow down at your feet. They will acknowledge that you are the ones I love. 

(10) “Because you have obeyed my command to persevere, I will protect you from the great time of testing that will come upon the whole world to test those who belong to this world. 

(11) I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take away your crown. (12) All who are victorious will become pillars in the Temple of my God, and they will never have to leave it.  And I will write on them the name of my God, and they will be citizens in the city of my God—the new Jerusalem that comes down from heaven from my God. And I will also write on them my new name. 

(13) “Anyone with ears to hear must listen to the Spirit and understand what he is saying to the churches.  ~Revelation 3:8-13

Christ is coming soon, Everyone!  He told the people of Israel this so that they might ready their hearts for Him, over two thousand years ago.  How much closer must the time of His coming be for us today?  

Hear Him today!
“Anyone with ears to hear must listen to the Spirit and understand what he is saying to the churches.  ~Revelation 3:13

Jesus says that He knows all of the things we do.  (For Him.  In Him.  Because of Him.  Because of our faith in Him.)  And because of that--He has opened a door of salvation and eternity to us...that no one can close.

“I know all the things you do, and I have opened a door for you that no one can close.  ~Revelation 3:8

Period.  

We are in, Brothers and Sisters in Christ! 

God knows the things we do in faith, and He knows everything about us.  
You have searched me, Lord, and you know me. (2) You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. (3) You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. (4) Before a word is on my tongue you, Lord, know it completely. (5) You hem me in behind and before, and you lay your hand upon me.  ~Psalm 139:1-5

 God knows us!  And He has opened a door for us.

 “I know all the things you do, and I have opened a door for you that no one can close.  ~Revelation 3:8

~~~

God knows us today.

You have little strength, yet you obeyed my word and did not deny me.  ~Revelation 3:8

How many of us can echo an "Amen" to this (You have little strength) today?

Fellow Believers...ye of little strength.... the Lord breathes His word, and His hope, and His promise into us today...to strengthen those of little strength.

His strength and power covers us and blesses us.  Even those of us with little strength.  

Keep pursuing Him today, and keep persevering in His Name today.

“Because you have obeyed my command to persevere... ~Revelation 3:10

We must hold on to what we have in Christ and in faith today, Friends! 

The promises of Jesus for us today are outstanding.  Are we standing-out for Him today?  Are we persevering to be one-day-at-a-time victorious for Him? 

The promises of Jesus for us today are outstanding: 

All who are victorious will become pillars in the Temple of my God, and they will never have to leave it.  And I will write on them the name of my God, and they will be citizens in the city of my God—the new Jerusalem that comes down from heaven from my God. And I will also write on them my new name.  ~Revelation 3:12

Do we believe this (Wow!).
I do.
Our God is amazing!  And he is holy and true, and so is His Word.

Yes, we may have little strength today, but God gives us His strength through His Word today.  Can we feel it?  Are we listening?

“Anyone with ears to hear must listen to the Spirit and understand what he is saying to the churches.  ~Revelation 3:13

Stand out for Jesus today!  Persevere(!) and be victorious in His holy and true Name. 

Blessings,

It’s never too late to turn to the Lord.   And--it’s never too late to turn back to the Lord.   Do we GET IT?   King Hezekiah GOT IT.   The people in his area (Israel) had not been following the Lord, and they had fallen away from the (God-ordained) traditions that the Lord had designed to connect His people with Himself,  like going to church (Temple), and like celebrating the festival of Passover.  So they sent a proclamation throughout all Israel...inviting everyone to come to Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover of the  Lord , the God of Israel. The people had not been celebrating it in great numbers as required in the Law ( 2 Chronicles 30:5). Hezekiah  invited the people back to church!  But how to get the word out? He  wrote letters of invitation to the people (2 Chronicles 30:1), but letters without delivery are dead messages.  Hezekiah needed to get the letters ... to God's people! At the king’s command, runners were...

Ever been around boys (of any age)?  They don't concern themselves with talking about   other  boys...they are not (usually) comparative that way, and would prefer to be competitive instead.  They are often contented with jokes and sounds, rather than defaming other guys or discussing their shortfalls. But...ever been around women ( of any age )?  For some sinful reason, our conversations often seem to p ick-a-little, talk-a-little, pick some more and talk, talk, talk about other women.  We  simmer into a boil as we digress and regress into unbecoming chatter about   other  women.   It's a terrible habit and yet girls in elementary school don't need to be taught how and even elderly church biddies can't quite fully withdraw.  We all still fall to condemning others  from time to time.  We have this sinful draw to make ourselves feel good by chirping back and forth and making someone   else   feel bad. It's na...

The earth is the   Lord ’s, and everything in it.   The world and all its people belong to him.   (2)  For he laid the earth’s foundation on the seas  and built it on the ocean depths.   ~Psalm 24:1-2 We belong to Him, but also…our world belongs to Him: and  everything in it .   Everything.   Every tree and flower, every person, every pelican, everything. How are we responding to that glorious Truth today?   Can we praise Him today?  Can we acknowledge and absorb (and respond!) to the awesome Truth that we belong to Him :  the Creator of all things, and our Creator?   He laid the earth’s foundation ...and (even)  the earth  knows that it belongs to him ... Do we? Are we choosing to respond to Him today?   The trees do.    Looking out my window as I read these words of God, I saw these words  proven by God as n aked tree-branch arms were raised in praise of their Creat...
