The Revelation study for this past week is going amazing tonight. I really am so excited about the book of Revelation, it was a big part of my first steps in Christ. I remember skimming through and randomly stopping and certain scripture and just feeling so much JOY and FEAR for this nation that I could not sleep that night. I don't understand how certain churches refuse to not even open this book or how anyone can ignore it because it truly is a blessing to read. Revelation !:3 "Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it; for the time is near". The promise is not just a saying God himself gave us that promise within the first three verses of the amazing Prophecy of Jesus Christ given by an angel to his beloved disciple John.
I love how John hears Gods voice and knows it is his and turns around after The Son of Man had spoken. I love how he describes the voice our Lord like that of a trumpet. A powerful and very loud instrument. That is the natural voice of our Savior!? How much he humbled himself to make himself like that of man while he was here on earth. Imagine how crazy it would have been to have Jesus walking around teaching and preaching with a piercing voice like a trumpet? Who would have denied a man like that? Or with a countenance that shines like the sun. No one. For the Devil himself knows Jesus is Lord but Jesus came to die so that we might be saved and he came to save those who were lost. He was not here to boast favoritism.
I am so unlike you Jesus. I want Glory. I want people to like me and the thought of them not liking me really does make me sad sometimes. I Know you are lord above all and that All Glory is yours but I still am struggling with these things. Thankfully I know that surrendering these things to you daily will bring me to a place where I no longer have to struggle with them. Thank you for hearing me in all my cries!
Well, I still have a bit more work to do So I'm going to go. I wish I could have my family turn the t.v down and just focus 100% on His word and this study but it is a blessing all on its own to Study the Word of God at all. amen
