“I STAND AT THE DOOR AND KNOCK. IF ANYONE HEARS MY VOICE AND OPENS THE DOOR, I WILL COME IN AND EAT WITH THAT PERSON, AND THEY WITH ME.”

Sometimes, one may feel very low and boggled by challenges that eventually bring stress and depression upon ones life. This may arise from expectations that come from our own family, friends and society at large. This may be due to a concern that weighs very heavily upon our heart, soul, spirit, mind and body. This may lead even to one losing sleep and having the so called nightmares. This may include peer pressure, family pressure, pressure from colleagues, pressure from friends, pressure from our children, pressure from our spouses, pressure from our in-laws, financial pressure, health pressure, job-related pressure, pressure from our parents, pressures from our siblings, ministry-related pressures and challenges e.t.c.

The LORD Jesus Christ always has an outstretched arm to each and everyone on the earth (the over 7 billion people) to run to Him and surrender and submit their life to Him (including all their burdens and weariness) so that they may finally have the Rest for their souls. The LORD Jesus Christ is so gentle and humble that He welcomes everyone who comes to Him, just as they are i.e. He does not discriminate or prejudice on status, colour, tribe, origin, background, age, gender etc. The LORD Jesus Christ then lifts off and takes away all the burdens and weariness causing stress and depression for they now become “His Problems”; for which He paid for it all at the cross of Calvary through His Precious Blood. Once He lifts off and takes away the burdens and the weariness from His sons and daughters who surrender and submit their burdens and weariness to Him, He then gives them rest for their soul as He now grants them a yoke who is easy and light: The power and the anointing of The Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit thus comforts them, helps them, nourishes them, counsels them, controls them, guides them and directs them. This is very powerfully captured in the book of Mathew 11: 28-30 which states as follows: Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

So The LORD Jesus Christ in His grace and mercy is always willing and seeking to help us in such situations, so that He may lift off and take away the burdens that weigh so heavily upon our soul, spirit, mind, heart and body. Some of these burdens that essentially causes “tear and wear” over our heart, soul, spirit, mind and body also includes generational sins and curses in addition to our own sins including pride. Unless and until these chains of bondage of evil and sins are broken and cut by The Precious Blood of The LORD Jesus Christ and The Holy Fire from the throne room of heaven, they hinder us from any meaningful breakthrough in whatever we do. This therefore calls for Repentance for the forgiveness of our sins in the mighty Name and Blood of The LORD Jesus Christ so that we be restored to the presence of The LORD; otherwise only fearful judgment of The LORD unfortunately awaits us. This is very powerfully captured in the book of Revelation 2:4-5 which states as follows: Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken the love you had at first. Consider how far you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first. If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place.”

This therefore means that we need to seek The LORD by humbling ourselves before Him and asking Him to create in us a New and a Pure Heart: A Heart that forgives, a repentant heart, a contrite heart, a heart of flesh that is sensitive to Repentance, Righteousness, Holiness, Truth and Complete Surrender to The LORD Jesus Christ. This then yields a heart that worships The LORD in The Spirit and in Truth. Then we ask The LORD to restore unto us the joy of salvation, such that the gloominess, the heartache, the stress, the depression, the feeling of shame, the pressure due to people’s expectations that we initially had is replaced with a joyfully spirit and heart that now worships and praises The LORD in every circumstances; knowing that in Christ Jesus we are overcomers. And that The LORD Jesus Christ is now dealing with our concerns and burdens. The LORD can then even use us to intercede for and reach out to our family, friends, colleagues, neighbours etc that they too may be purified, cleansed, washed and sanctified by The LORD. This is very beautifully captured in the book of Psalm 51: 10-13 which states as follows: Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me. Then I will teach transgressors your ways, so that sinners will turn back to you.”

The LORD Jesus Christ is always knocking at the door of the heart of everyone (including you and all the more than 7 Billion people on the earth), so that if only we will listen to His voice and accept Him and welcome Him into our lives so that He becomes our LORD, Master and Saviour; and essentially our Best Friend. The LORD Jesus Christ will then come in and nourish us with the anointing of The Holy Spirit as He washes us, cleanses us, refines us, purifies us and sanctifies us through His Precious Blood, The Holy Fire and His Word. He will thus henceforth now walk with us as we walk with Him. He will essentially watch over us and take care of us as we endevour to embrace Repentance for the forgiveness of our sins through His Blood (The Blood of The LORD Jesus Christ) and walk in Righteousness (Right before The LORD by following the ways and the requirements of The LORD), Holiness (Set apart for the glory and honour of The LORD), Truth (Without deception, falsehood or lies) and Complete Surrender to The LORD Jesus Christ (No lukewarmness; but being Only Hot for The LORD) in preparing the way for the coming of The LORD Jesus Christ. This is very powerfully captured in the book of Revelations 3: 19-22 which states as follows: ‘“Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent. Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me. To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I was victorious and sat down with my Father on his throne.  Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”

Remember, all it takes is to humble oneself before The LORD in prayer (and even fasting) and presenting and asking The LORD in a prayer petition about your concerns, requests. The LORD will answer you according to His will and perfect timing. This is very well captured in the book of Mathew 7: 7-12 which states as follows: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. “Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake?  If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.”’

SHALOM!!! SHALOM!!! SHALOM!!!

PREPARE THE WAY FOR THE COMING OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST IN ABSOLUTE REPENTANCE, RIGHTEOUSNESS, HOLINESS, TRUTH AND COMPLETE SURRENDER TO THE LORD JESUS CHRIST (YAHUSHUA HA MASHIACH). TIME IS ABSOLUTELY OVER; THE MESSIAH JESUS CHRIST IS IMMINENTLY COMING TO PICK HIS BRIDE!!!   

REPENTANCE PRAYER

Precious Jesus, 

I acknowledge today that you are LORD and savior of all mankind, 

and today I have recognized my shortfall,

I repent and turn away from all sin. 

Please cover me with your precious blood, 

and establish your word in my life,

that I may be found in righteousness and holiness 

and write my name in your book of life 

and baptize me with the power of the Holy Spirit 

in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. 

AMEN.   


Shalom!!! Shalom!!! Shalom!!!
