I am coming soon. Hold fast what you have, so that no one may seize your crown.


Rev 3:11  I am coming soon. Hold fast what you have, so that no one may seize your crown.
Rev 3:12  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.Kingdom Worker Ministries originally shared:
WALKING BY FAITH - #KWMinistries

Walk by faith not by sight.
~
II Corinthians 5:7

Faith is seeing light with your heart when all your eyes see is darkness. This is referred to as walking by faith and not walking by sight in the sense that you are moved by what you see, by what you smell, by what you feel, by what you taste, or by what you hear.  You do not allow your sense knowledge, knowledge produced by your five senses, to over ride your faith knowledge.



Revelation 3:11
Behold, I come quickly,.... To bring on this hour of temptation on the reformed churches, which will be at the beginning of this period; to help and deliver, save and preserve the truly godly among them; to destroy antichrist, and introduce the latter day glory: 

hold that fast which thou hast; either her grace in the exercise of it, as her faith, patience, &c. or rather the doctrines of the Gospel, and the ordinances of it, which she had received, as delivered by Christ and His apostles: and which she had held in the truth and purity of them, and is now exhorted to hold them fast, since this hour of temptation would be a trying time to her faith, patience, integrity, and constancy: 

that no man take thy crown; not eternal happiness, called a crown of life, glory, and righteousness, and which was prepared for her, and promised to her, and would be certainly given her; nor was there any danger of another's taking it from her; not but that exhortations of this kind to the saints are necessary, with respect to that, to excite to diligence, care, and watchfulness; and are no ways contrary to their final perseverance, and certain salvation, but are means thereof: but either her honor for her faith and faithfulness, for her integrity, sincerity, and purity, is here meant; or the glorious things which were spoken of this church state, and to be accomplished in it, Psa_87:3; see Isa_60:1
