March through books of the Bible and meditate on the promise, prayer, and song of the day to help strengthen your faith and personal relationship with Jesus Christ, our Savior. Loving people with compassionate care and pointing them to "Christ, the Way, the Truth, & the Life" is how you will be a soul winner and bring glory to God.
"You [Lord Jesus] have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God, and they will reign upon the earth.” Revelation 5:10
Prayer & Praise:
Serving You, Lord Jesus Christ, as a priest in Your eternal Kingdom is the greatest honor I could ever receive. Today, I humbly dedicate myself to You as a priest—interceding, praying, and guiding the broken-hearted and lost to You. Holy Spirit, please lead me to someone whose heart is overwhelmed with despair and feels spiritually dead. Use me as Your instrument to encourage them to place their faith in our Victorious King, Christ Jesus, so they may be inspired to believe and surrender to serving God. I pray for their redemption in the holy and mighty name of Jesus, our Savior. Amen.
And they [24 Elders] sang a new song, saying: “You [Lamb of God; Christ Jesus] are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, because you were slain, and with Your blood you purchased for God persons from every tribe and language and people and nation." Revelation 5:9
ETERNAL TRUTH:
"For you know that it was not with perishable things like silver or gold that you have been ransomed from the worthless way of life handed down to you by your ancestors, but with the precious blood of the Messiah, like that of a lamb without blemish or defect." 1 Peter 1:18-19
"Much more, then, being now justified [declared righteous; accepted] by His blood, we will be saved from God's wrath through Him." Romans 5:9
Poem: "OH, THE PRECIOUS BLOOD" by Deborah Ann Belka

Praise & Prayer: I join the Elders and angels in heaven, Loving Father, in singing anthems of eternal praise to Your beloved Son, the Lamb of God, who purchased me with His precious blood. I confess that only the blood of Christ has the power to atone, redeem, forgive, cleanse, justify, save, and restore my relationship with You! Thank You, Lord Jesus, for purchasing me and making me a child of God through Your unblemished and sinless blood. I worship and exalt Your glorious name. Amen.
And I saw a mighty angel, who announced in a loud voice, “Who is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll?” But there was no one in heaven or on earth or in the world below who could open the scroll and look inside it. I cried bitterly because no one could be found who was worthy to open the scroll or look inside it. Then one of the elders said to me, “Don't cry. Look! The Lion from Judah's tribe, the Root of David, has won the victory, and He can break the seven seals and open the scroll.” Revelation 5:2-5
ETERNAL TRUTH:
"When He [Christ] had disarmed the rulers and authorities [those supernatural forces of evil operating against us], He made a public example of them exhibiting them as captives in His triumphal procession, having triumphed over them through the cross." Colossians 2:15
"I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have perfect peace. In the world, you will have tribulation and distress and suffering, but be courageous, be confident, be undaunted, be filled with joy; I have overcome the world. My conquest is accomplished, My victory abiding." John 16:33
Worship and Praise:
My crying has stopped, and my heart is filled with praise, Loving Father, as I look at the Lion of Judah and Root of David, who has won the victory! I kneel in worship, Lord Jesus, and thank You for being the worthy One who broke the powers of Satan, sin, death, and hell at the cross for me and all who believe in You. Thank You, thank You, thank You, for taking on the form of a Man and sacrificing Your life on the cross so that I might be saved by grace [undeserved favor] through faith in Your victory and glorious resurrection. Please receive all glory, honor, and majesty. Hallelujah and amen.
"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.
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.
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.
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.
