I Stand At The Door And Knock, If Anyone Hears My Voice And Opens The Door, I Will Come In And Eat With That Person, And They With Me

Here I Am

The Laodicean church had become rich and complacent, yet Christ presence was not among them; much like many churches of today, they are run like businesses and have become self-sufficient as have the people, who are the church, the body of Christ.
Christ is knocking at the door of our hearts today, as He did those of the Laodicean church, but like the people back then, many are too busy enjoying worldly pleasures that they don’t notice that Christ is calling out to them.
The temporary pleasures of this world such as money, status, material possessions, give a false sense of security, and have made many slack and complacent in regard to our eternal future. Many have forgotten we have no future without Christ.
Lockdown was an eye-opener: whether deliberate or not, world leaders and scientists took us on an evil path that was designed to bring more control over the people’s lives and bring devastation to our world. What is apparent is that the virus was man made; this was not a natural virus.
Today, many are dying and suffering, not so much of the virus, but the vaccines are damaging many people’s immune systems and we are seeing sudden death in every age group, yet we still see world leaders and the media encouraging people to take more and more untested vaccines.
Furthermore, the world economies, job losses and increasing debt is bringing poverty like never before. These are the signs of the times.
Jesus is to soon return to bring final judgment and your eternal future will be decided.
Today is the time to turn to Christ in repentance. Today is the day to pray!
Open the door of your hearts, invite Jesus in. He loves you and wants to help you. He wants no one to perish, but for all to turn to Him in repentance (PETER 3:9).
My brethren, He gave up His life that regardless of your sinful past that you might live.
Jesus said, “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.”
‭‭John‬ ‭10:10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
The “thief” is very present in our world today, his purpose is to take you from God, to destroy your eternal future with Him, indeed God’s creation and he is working very hard with anger, for he knows his days are numbered (REVELATION 12:1-12).
Give yourself to Christ today and have life more abundantly. Put your trust in Him who loves so much that He died to save you.
This life, whether in sickness and sorrows, or riches and joy is temporary. But whatever your lifestyle, for those in Christ, the best is yet to come. “And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.””
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭21‬:‭3‬-‭4‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, don’t be complacent, Jesus said to the Laodicean Church and is saying to you today, ““I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth. Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked— I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent. Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” ’ ””
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭3‬:‭15‬-‭22‬ ‭NKJV‬
If you haven’t already, commit your life to Christ today, for tomorrow may well be too late.
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.
