I STAND AT THE DOOR AND KNOCK!

REVELATION 3: 20

"Look! I STAND AT THE DOOR AND KNOCK. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in and we will share a meal together as friends."

Can you visualize our One Truth Today? The Lord is standing outside the door to your heart right now. What is more important, He is knocking and if you can hear His voice and you come and open the door and invite Him in, He will come in and dwell with you and share a meal with you and you will become friends. Have you ever heard the voice of Jesus Christ the Lord God and heard Him knocking on the door to your heart? Have you ignored the Lord? LOOK, I STAND AT THE DOOR AND KNOCK! If you have that empty feeling in your life and you somehow know that you are incomplete, maybe you should listen a little closer! Remember the Lord said, I stand at the door and knock, He did not say He would knock the door down! It is up to you to hear His voice and open the door, so that He can come in and dwell in your heart!

The Lord gave all of us a free will and the ability to make our own choices. Jesus Christ will not force His way into your life. Will you hear Him and respect Him and invite Him to be a part of you life, or will you ignore Him and reject Him. If you reject Him and cover your ears, you will condemn yourself and be separated from Him forever. Your choice, your consequence and the result will be eternal. You can make the right choice today, right now! When you hear the voice of the Lord and hear Him knocking at the door to your heart you must voluntarily open the door and invite Him in. The Lord wants to come and fill your heart with the Holy Spirit and He wants to dwell with you. He wants to share your life and your love and to be with you until the end of time. LOOK, I STAND AT THE DOOR AND KNOCK!

The Lord's knock is gentle and full of love, inviting a relationship with anyone who will listen and heed His Words! Are you listening? Are you to busy, or too bright and sophisticated, or so well educated by the world that the sound is muffled and disturbed? It is the still small voice that can be heard, if you will only listen. Your heart must be opened by you personally and that is the choice that determines life or death. Jesus will give you life, and that abundantly if you invite Him in to dwell with you. You two will join together forever. Listen carefully and think about all the other times there was a gentle knock at the door of your heart. What did you do? If you hear His Voice and His knock and realize that He is at the door to your heart right now, you can be Saved! LOOK I STAND AT THE DOOR AND KNOCK!
