We were singing a new hymn tonight and there was a verse that was written in a way I had never heard before.

From "I'm Gonna Praise God Unceasingly."

There's a river of life in me,
Flowing so livingly,
Moving continually,
He just keeps flooding me,
He's always filling me,
His name is Jesus Christ!

Let's pray unceasingly that Christ will fill us and overflow us, flood us, with his river of life.

Revelation 3:7 And to the messenger of the church in 1Philadelphia write: These things says the 2aHoly One, the btrue One, the One who has the3ckey of David, the One who opens and no one will shut, and shuts and no one opens:

As the One who has the key of David and who opens and no one will shut, the Lord has given the recovered church an opened door, which no one can shut. In spite of much opposition, today the door is open worldwide. The key is in the hand of the Head of the church; it is not in the hand of the opposers.

Praise the Lord for opening the door worldwide.

According to Revelation 3 the ascended Christ has the key of David in order to give the church in Philadelphia, a type of the recovered  church, an opened door so that people can enter the recovered church to be transformed into pillars in the temple of God and to be built up as God's city, the New Jerusalem.

Eliakim carried a large key on his shoulder, not a small key in his pocket, but a large key that keeps the treasures of the house of God, which today are all the riches of Christ.

As those who are living in the church as the kingdom of God today, we need to know and experience Christ, the real David, as the One who has the key of David (Isa. 22:22)

David fought for God, established the kingdom, and prepared everything for the building of the holy temple; as the one who represented God in establishing his kingdom on earth, David had a key- the key of God's dominion

Isaiah 22:22 says that Jehovah would set the key of the house of David upon Eliakim's shoulder. It does not say that Eliakim holds the key but that the key is set upon his shoulder. This expression indicates that this key is a great key. A small key is merely held by someone; it is not put upon his shoulder. This expression indicates that this key is a great key. A small key is merely held by someone; it is not put upon his shoulder. The key that God has put on the shoulder of Christ is a great one. Such a big key indicates that the door which it opens is big and thick. Such a door would be a stronghold to protect and keep the treasures of the house of God.

Today, the the treasures in the house of God are all the riches of Christ which are open to all of us.
