You have guarded and kept My Word.

"Because you have guarded and kept My word of patient endurance [have held fast the lesson of My patience with the expectant endurance that I give you], I also will keep you [safe] from the hour of trial (testing) which is coming on the whole world to try those who dwell upon the earth" (Revelation 3:10 AMP). In this scripture, Jesus is speaking to the church at Philadelphia. He spoke to them about how they have kept the Word of God, how they have endured through the storms, and how they have patiently waited and have done what is right in the sight of our Lord. Jesus said He will open doors that no man can shut and He will shut doors that no man can open. This is so powerful. The Lord has spoken unto us, the Body of Christ. He has promised us that He will take care of us all, all the way till the end. Even when the storms come in and even when all seems and feels like hell is surrounding us, our Savior will never give up on us. Christ Jesus will open the doors to the church house and open the doors to men's hearts to go and proclaim the Gospel to the entire world. He will also shut the doors to the wicked. He will shut the doors of the hearts of those who do not want to hear the Truth of God. If we stand in the Word of God, keep His Word true to our hearts, and hold fast under every strain and pull of this religious age, He will keep us from the hour of temptation which will come upon all the world. For Christ says, "I will come quick". So, hold fast to the faith and let no man take your crown or deceive you from the faith. God bless you. Amen.
