What a Word God put on my heart on Friday.  

God is for us.

I know that this is a simple phrase, but with God it is an amazing thing.

Revelation 3 8 … See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name.

God knows our deeds.  But He has given us an offer.  “Whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.”  The message that is trying to take over is that Jesus allows us to think and do whatever we want.  Nothing could be a bigger lie.

The Truth is:  God offers us a way out from our sin by Loving Him, by being Born Again, by Surrendering to Him.

The devil doesn’t want us to do that so he has gone open season on standards.  While we will never meet the standard I will say this:  Everyone I know who ATTACKS Standards and the way people think has not surrendered to God.  They would know better.  He is the Lion from the Tribe of Judah and He is the one who tore up the temple.

And so I go back to the above verse.  He knows our deeds.  Even so, He has placed before us an Open Door that no one can shut.  You should choose to walk through it.  And when you do, you get three things.

  1.  He Knows You.  Revelation 3 8 I know your deeds. Even though you are broken and full of hideous sin—He accepts you.  The one who KNOWS YOU BEST is the one who LOVES YOU MOST.
  2.  He Calls You To Overcome.  Revelation 3 21 To him who overcomes, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne.  He isn’t asking us to overcome, He is COMMANDING us to overcome.  Stand up, Be accountable, and walk out the call.
  3.  You are a son or a daughter.  Galatians 3 7 So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and since you are a son, God has made you also an heir.  This is the greatest deal that you will ever get.  BECAUSE Jesus died and paid for your sin, you get to be a son or daughter of the King.  All the rights.  All the privileges.  All the blessings.  You will never get a better deal than this.

God has placed before you:

An open door  …  And no one can shut it.

Stand up and walk through it.

In The Name of the Father and the 

Son and the Holy Spirit.  Amen.
