LIFE: You are created by God, who gives you life through Christ alone - Revelation 4:11

"Our Lord and God! You are worthy to receive glory, honor, and power. For You created all things, and by Your will they were given existence and life." Revelation 4:11

INFALLIBLE TRUTH:

• "The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For everything was created by Him, in heaven and on earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities— all things have been created through Him and for Him." Colossians 1:15-16 
• "For in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also His offspring." Acts 17:28
• "I Am the vine, and you are the branches. The one abiding in Me, and I in them, the same bears much fruit: because you are not able to do anything without Me." John 15:5

Prayer:

I was created by God, and only in Christ can I find meaning in life. Only You, Lord Jesus, fill the voids and holes in my life. I'm so grateful that You created me and gave me a new life filled with eternal purpose and living hope. I confess You as my LORD and SAVIOR, in whom I find my being. Almighty and Sovereign Lord, I join all the voices of heaven and earth to proclaim: "You are worthy to receive glory and honor and power." I lift Your Name on high and praise the mighty name of Your beloved Son, Jesus Christ.

ALMIGHTY: Never stop saying, the Lord God Almighty - Revelation 4:8

Also in front of the throne, there was what looked like a sea of glass, clear as crystal. In the center, around the throne, were four living creatures, and they were covered with eyes, in front and in back. The first living creature was like a lion, the second was like an ox, the third had a face like a man, the fourth was like a flying eagle. Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under its wings. Day and night, they never stop saying: “‘Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty,’ who was, and is, and is to come.” Revelation 4:6-8

ETERNAL TRUTH:
Jesus answered, “I AM the Way and the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. If you had known Me, you would know My Father as well. From now on you do know Him and have seen Him.” Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us.” Jesus replied, “Philip, I have been with you all this time, and still you do not know Me? Anyone who has seen Me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? Do you not believe that I AM in the Father and the Father is in Me? The words I say to you, I do not speak on My own. Instead, it is the Father dwelling in Me, performing His works. Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me—or at least believe on account of the works themselves." John 14:6-11

Worship:
I stand in awe of Your glorious magnificence, Heavenly Father. I join the four living creatures and the myriads in heaven, and I will never stop singing, ‘Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come.' I praise and thank You, Lord Jesus, for showing us the greatness of God to me and to all humanity. May I grow in reverence and fear of the Lord my God forever and ever. Amen.

COME: Jesus invites you to come up - Revelation 4:1

After this I [John] looked, and there before me was a door standing open in heaven. And the voice I had first heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.” Revelation 4:1

LIVING TRUTH:

• "COME TO ME, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28
• "On the last and most important day of the festival, Jesus was standing in the temple courtyard. He said loudly, "Whoever is thirsty must COME TO ME to drink. As Scripture says, 'Streams of living water will flow from deep within the person who believes in Me.'" John 7:37-3
• "Jesus said, “Let the little children COME TO ME, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” Matthew 19:14

Prayer:
I hear Your gracious invitation, as John did, Lord Jesus, to come up. Thank You for opening the door to Heaven for lost sinners like me who repent and turn to follow You. Let me hear Your voice this day, calling me into a deeper relationship with You. Please reveal to me Your will for my life and what will take place so I am ready for Your return. I ask in Your mighty name. Amen. 

VICTORIOUS: The one who is victorious will sit with Jesus - Revelation 3:21

To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to sit with Me on my throne, just as I was victorious and sat down with my Father on His throne. Revelation 3:21

Prayer
My Lord Jesus will never fail me. I love You, LORD, and will continue to press toward the goal of being victorious, just as You were, until the day You call me home. May my life be a witness to Your sacrificial love for broken people whom the devil tells, "you are a total loser." Holy Spirit, please guide someone across my path today whose faith is shattered by the devil and lives in his citadel of despair. Use me to lift their spirits by pointing them to faith in Christ, our Victorious Savior. I pray for their salvation in Jesus' mighty name.

DINE: Open the door to Jesus, and he will come in - Revelation 3:20

Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in and dine with them, and they with Me. Revelation 3:20

Prayer

I hear Your knock, Lord Jesus, and open the door to my heart. Please come in and dine with me. As a deer pants for streams of water, so my heart yearns for You. I believe in You, receive You, and confess You as the LORD of my life. Thank You for making me a child of God. I praise and glorify Your holy name.

Living Truth:

• "Ask and it will be given to you; Seek and you will find; Knock and the door will be opened to you." Matthew 7:7 "He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him. But to all who did receive Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God—children born not of blood, nor of the desire or will of man, but born of God." John 1:11-13
• "Jesus replied, “If anyone loves Me, they will keep My word. My Father will love them, and We will come to them and make Our home with them." John 14:23
• "If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." Romans 10:9

RICH: Buy Jesus' gold that makes you rich - Revelation 3:18

“To the angel of the church in Laodicea write: These are the words of the Amen, the Faithful and True witness, the Ruler of God’s creation. I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see." Revelation 3:14,18

Living Truth:

• "For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sake He became poor, so that you through His poverty might become rich." 2 Corinthians 8:9
• "Yes, everything else is worthless when compared with the infinite value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For His sake I have discarded everything else, counting it all as garbage, so that I could gain Christ." Philippians 3:8
• "In Him [Christ] we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace." Ephesians 1:7 

Prayer:
I'm humbled, Lord Jesus, by Your willingness to become poor so I might be made rich. I'm here to buy the inestimable gold and priceless treasures of Your amazing grace, boundless mercy, and eternal love, with a heart of surrender. I praise You for covering my shame and redeeming me with Your precious blood. Lead me, Holy Spirit, to someone today who is impoverished by disbelief and feels hopeless. Open their heart to believe this promise and to buy the incredible riches of Christ's gold by confessing Him as their Ruler and LORD.

CROWN: Hold on and let no one take your crown - Revelation 3:11

"I Am coming soon. So hold firmly to what you have, and no one will take away the crown you will be given as your reward." Revelation 3:11

• THORNS = CURSE: "But Christ has rescued us from the curse pronounced by the law. When He was hung on the cross, He took upon Himself the curse for our wrongdoing. For it is written in the Scriptures, “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.”
• CROWN = ROYALTY: " But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, now crowned with glory and honor because He suffered death, so that by the grace of God He might taste death for everyone." Hebrews 2:9
• Jesus wore the crown of thorns for our transgressions so that we could wear the crown of royalty,

Prayer
I am holding on to You, Lord Jesus, and will not let go, for You are my crown of glory! Help me, Holy Spirit, to be a light for our King to people who sit in darkness and have no future. Use me to impact the lives of family members, friends, and people in the marketplace who are asleep and unprepared for the coming of our Conqueror and Victor. Grant me an opportunity this day to share this wonderful promise of a crowning reward to those who hold on to Jesus until the end. I pray for their salvation in Jesus' mighty name.
