Agents of change will never include those who (1) profit from, (2) are comfortable with (3) feel secured and (4) are dependent on the status quo.

THE VERDICT (Revelation 3:20-22, Amp.) Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears and listens to and heeds My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will eat with him, and he [will eat] with Me. He who overcomes (is victorious), I will grant him to sit beside Me on My throne, as I Myself overcame (was victorious) and sat down beside My Father on His throne. He who is able to hear, let him listen to and heed what the [Holy] Spirit says to the assemblies (churches).
