The characteristic of the overcomers in Philadelphia is their brotherly love, for they have little power but keep the Lord’s word, do not deny His name, and love prevails among them so that they shepherd people according to God; we need to humble ourselves before God and love Him to the uttermost, not looking […]

In His concluding word to the church in Laodicea the Lord tells them that He’s outside the door, knocking, and if anyone hears the Lord’s voice and opens the door, He will come in to Him and will dine with Him, and he who overcomes will reign with Him on the throne just as He overcame […]

The Lord’s word to the church in Laodicea is very enlightening and exposing, and […]
