Rev 3:18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and [that] the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
 

I understand that many believers today are poor, shamefully naked, and blind.  The remedy may be more literal than we have been taught.
