In Revelation 2, each one receives a new name.

To him that overcomes will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knows except he that receives it.

A name is what others call you but this name is known only to you and your Lord. So, God knows your unique name now. He has been building you into that name for your whole life.

It says to “him that overcomes”. The overcoming is the overcoming of self. Self is enticed by devil, the world system and the flesh.

How do we do it?

Only by the more powerful can we overcome the power of the self. God is most powerful. And to be filled with his Holy Spirit without any dark corners in our soul and for our hearts to become pure is the only way.

Jesus would not say “pure in heart” if there were no chance of it. Pure in heart means only one thing is in your heart. Only one love. Clear out all other loves. Jesus is so lovable, we can fill our hearts with that love, casting other loves out.

If we cast off evil desires, how light our hearts and souls will become. We will walk lightly on the earth. The pull of riches will weaken and fame and power can be left to Jesus.
