Door Knocking
by turtle(Christina Farris)
Revelation 3:19-22 KJV (19) As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. (20) Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. (21) To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. (22) He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
Knocking at the door, a stranger to me I meet. The stranger wants me to believe, but I can not. A fire is burning, he says but I smell no smoke. A fire is burning but I see no flames. The man persist a burning is coming. I shut the door with no sign of smoke, no sign of flames and not a cloud in the air. Only the next to find a man persistent once again knocking on my door telling me a fire is coming. This time I call the cop and say sir a man is persistent a fire is coming. The cop says there is my friend. The next week a fire is coming. I say finally say where is this fire that you keep telling me is coming. He tells me it coming when I die.
I ask what do you mean by a fire when I die, that something new to me. You trying to threaten me, are you planning to burn my house. No, No, I plan not to burn your house. God will do that if you do not repent. Whoa! Man I don’t believe like you, but the man persist there is away out of the pit. Okay I say hoping to hush the man once in for all, what is the way out of this fire pit. The man says Jesus is the way out, He is knocking at the door of your heart. He desires you not to die in the fiery pit called hell. I say whoa you mean what you believe is salvation. Yes, Yes! Tell me more, tell me more. Are you telling me this fire is stoppable. Yes it only takes belief said the man. I only have to look to the cross. I only have to look and repent of my sins.
Whoa! An escalator right out of hell. If I do this will I be secure, will I ever have to worry about this pit called hell. No my friend. Jesus is the way the truth and the life. No one can go to God but by me. Who is this Jesus? He is the word of God. The Word of God. Yes my friend the truth is the Word of God. See the cross it was sacrifice for you and me. We no longer have to spend eternity separated from God. We are sealed by the Holy Spirit. A sign that says we are a child of God.
How do I pray, how do I let Jesus in the door. Just pray this prayer with me. Dear Heavenly Father I am a sinner, I know your Son died for me and His name is Jesus. I believe that He has the power to forgive me of my sins and that He will seal my heart upon belief. In Jesus precious name, Amen.
