14 “And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write,
‘These things says the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God: 15 “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. 16 So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth. 17 Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked— 18 I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see. 19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent. 20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. 21 To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.
22 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”
Are we this church that is so rich and has so much increase of goods and need of nothing? Is it that we do not know that we are wretched? miserable? poor? blind and naked? And that we are lukewarm, neither cold nor hot so that He will spew us out of His mouth? Is that the church of the United States today? Then we must listen to His counsel, if we agree that it is! That is to buy gold tried in the fire.That we may be rich and we will be clothed in white and thine eyes with eye salve so you may see. Repent! Behold, HE stands at the door and knocks. If anyone hears HIS voice and opens the door, HE will be there! He will come in and sup with him and he with ME! To he that overcomes it says will I grant to sit with Him in His throne, even as He also overcoame and sat with the Father. When Jesus comes to YOUR door and knocks, please answer that door! Let Him sup with you - change your heart from bitterness and hate to love and joy! Let Him save you from the terrible, terrible things of Hell, the gnashing teeth and everlasting fire! So when you hear His knock at that door, answer - He will change your heart, this very day! If you only answer the door!
