A True Revelation

Buildings have doors primarily because the person who owns the building wants to control who or what comes in and out. Some doors are securely locked; others just swing open when you push on them.

You have a door. A door that leads to your heart, mind, and spirit. You, and only you, can control what comes in and out. Many people or opportunities may knock at your door, but only you can open it.

In Revelation 3:20, Jesus says, “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.”

Today, many people are searching for significance, or for purpose. Young people are sometimes just looking for something to do. Here’s a revelation out of the book of Revelation: Jesus is knocking at the door of your heart, will you let Him in? If you’re reading these words, there is a great chance that you have already accepted Him as Lord. So what more does Jesus want? In the verses before this, Jesus was explaining that if a person is lukewarm in the faith, He will vomit them out of His mouth.

So how does one become “hot” and not lukewarm or cold as a Christian? Read the Bible and pray every day? That just keeps you spiritually breathing, unless, it is hours of intercession for the lost. Your body gets hot when you DO something. Jesus wants to draw all people to Himself. They will not find Him on their own. We must go. We must tell people about Jesus and His love. We must go to countries where people do not have virtually unlimited access to the Gospel. You can pray, you can give, and you can go. What will you do today?
