Revelation 3:1-13

To the Church in Sardis

“‘I know your works. You have the reputation of being alive, but you are dead. 2 Wake up, and strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have not found your works complete in the sight of my God. 3 Remember, then, what you received and heard. Keep it, and repent. If you will not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will come against you. 4 Yet you have still a few names in Sardis, people who have not soiled their garments, and they will walk with me in white, for they are worthy. 5 The one who conquers will be clothed thus in white garments, and I will never blot his name out of the book of life. I will confess his name before my Father and before his angels. 6 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’

3 “And to the angel of the church in Sardis write: ‘The words of him who has the seven spirits of God and the seven stars.

To the Church in Philadelphia

7 “And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: ‘The words of the holy one, the true one, who has the key of David, who opens and no one will shut, who shuts and no one opens.

8 “‘I know your works. Behold, I have set before you an open door, which no one is able to shut. I know that you have but little power, and yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name. 9 Behold, I will make those of the synagogue of Satan who say that they are Jews and are not, but lie—behold, I will make them come and bow down before your feet, and they will learn that I have loved you. 10 Because you have kept my word about patient endurance, I will keep you from the hour of trial that is coming on the whole world, to try those who dwell on the earth. 11 I am coming soon. Hold fast what you have, so that no one may seize your crown. 12 The one who conquers, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God. Never shall he go out of it, and I will write on him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down from my God out of heaven, and my own new name. 13 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’

  1. Lord Jesus
    let me hear and pay attention to what you have to say to me.
    help me to know and follow your will.
    Amen

    1. Lord I want to pay attention to you every word. I want to hear your every word. I am waiting. The Lord is alive. Hallelujah and Praise the Lord, Amen 🙌🏻💜🙏🏻✝

  2. May I hear my Lord’s instructions to me each day, do what He asks without hesitation, and proclaim His name to all who will hear and follow!!

  3. Lord, sharpen my spiritual senses. When you move, I want to see you. When you speak, I want to hear you. Every. Time.

  6. I want to be called Worthy. My Heavenly Father has made that a reality for me.

  7. Jesus alone can give access to the Father—He holds the key. He opens the door of heaven. He opens the door of life and closes death’s door (v7-8).

  8. Church let us not get so comfortable that we slack up on pleasing GOD to pleasing ourselves, being pretenders, acting like we’re alive, counterfeit believers (like Sardis) the Church of Philadelphia; the Obedient Church has little power but kept the faith, patiently endures; this Church is serious about their GOD & SAVIOR. This sounds like this Church will not go through the Tribulation. I pray that we are members of that Church body. He who has an ear let them hear to what the Spirit says.
    Amen!!!

  9. Are we this church? are we glorifying God sincerely? Will we be found trustworthy enduring and obedient when He returns. The time is now to make clear choices for God.

    Be blessed church
