FOCAL POINT PHILADELPHIA: JESUS KNOWS

⁸ “I know all the things you do, and I have opened a door for you that no one can close. You have little strength, yet you obeyed my word and did not deny me. ⁹ Look, I will force those who belong to Satan’s synagogue—those liars who say they are Jews but are not—to come and bow down at your feet. They will acknowledge that you are the ones I love.  Rev. 3:8-9



 


If anybody knew about feeling like the door was locked on them.....Jesus did.   Remember before He was to go to the cross...He went to the Father in DEEP prayer, asking if there was another way.   Only to land on the will of the FATHER that ultimately led him to endure the cross for each of us. 

See the word of GOD is true when we are reminded that we have a High Priest that totally identifies with us.  

¹⁴ So then, since we have a great High Priest who has entered heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to what we believe. ¹⁵ This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for he faced all of the same testings we do, yet he did not sin.  Hebrews 4:14-15

This is why the opening to this passage in Revelations is so necessary for us to grasp that He is faithful and true.   He knows what it is we deal with.  But He wants to draw our attention to His promises and His power over those very circumstances.

So as you will GO to GOD in prayer today, this week, etc.....remember this.....the best place for you  in prayer is to fall upon the WILL OF GOD, and may the peace of GOD, which surpasses all understanding keep your heart and mind, through Christ Jesus....as it did Him.   LGLP
