Revelation 3: 8 - I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.

Denying the Name of the Lord is easier to do than many would like to believe. Have you ever felt a leading to help a stranger but fear gripped you instead? Have you ever been directed to give a monetary gift to someone but decided not to because it seemed too small or the person too wealthy? Have you ever felt the desire to call or visit a person but got too busy and forgot or decided that they needed to rest? Have you ever been given a word to share with someone but cowered away because you felt embarrassed?

The word “deny” means to:
Contradict – to disagree with, to say the opposite, oppose, challenge
Disavow, = give up, disown, renounce
Reject = rebuff, eliminate, throw out, decline
Negate = work against, go against, reverse
Refuse = repudiate, turn down
Jesus opened a door for the church of Brotherly Love not because they were powerful but because they used their little strength to keep His Word and His Name lifted above all things. What is your testimony today? Have you maintained a godly standard on your job, in school, in your community, before your family? If you have a desire to walk worthy of the call on your life, ask Jesus to cover you in His Blood and give you a fresh start today.

Matthew 10:33 "But he that shall deny me before men, I will also deny him before my Father who is in heaven."

And the Key is never trust yourself for the human heart is deceitful and wicked above all things the bible says.

Only the Lord himself can place with in you a heart that will not forsake him. Attempt it on your own and you will do the same as Peter did and deny him many a times.

But when the process of sanctification begins by his own work within you he will give you a heart that will stand. Our part is daily surrender to his working in us, even moment by moment surrender is necessary.

And even that surrender in us is his working as well.

Peace.
