Correct.
'I know your deeds. Behold, I have put before you an open door which no
one can shut, because you have a little power, and have kept My word, and have
not denied My name. Revelation 3:8 (NAS)
Do you ever feel that you have little power or
energy left...that you cannot make it on your own?
The reality is that none of us can make it on our
own. We depend on God for all that we have;
the rain...the sunshine...the air we breath...the
food we eat.
As the churches of our Lord faced ongoing
persecution in those days, many of them had little
power on their own against their oppressors.
But Jesus walks in the midst of His people and has
left an open door for those that have little power,
who keep His word and have not denied His name.
