FAITHFUL: Remain faithful to Jesus, just as He remains faithful to you - Revelation 13:10

And all the people who belong to this world worshiped the beast. They are the ones whose names were not written in the Book of Life that belongs to the Lamb who was slaughtered before the world was made. Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand. Anyone who is destined for prison will be taken to prison. Anyone destined to die by the sword will die by the sword. This means that God’s holy people must endure persecution patiently and remain faithful.  Revelation 13:8-10

Living Truth:

• "You will be hated by everyone because of Me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved." Matthew 10:22 "If the world hates you, understand that it hated Me first. If you were of the world, it would love you as its own. Instead, the world hates you, because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world." John 15:18-21 
• "Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison to test you, and you will suffer tribulation for ten days. Be faithful even unto death, and I will give you the crown of life." Revelation 2:10
• "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor principalities, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 8:38-39

Prayer:
Lord Jesus, because You remained faithful even to death for me, I have hope of eternal life in God's everlasting Kingdom. Because of Your faithfulness, nothing can ever separate me from God's love, which He continually pours out through You. Teach me, Holy Spirit, how to have a brave and fearless heart like my Lord Jesus so that I stay true to His name until death and have my name written in the Book of Life. Loving Father, I pray this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, my Savior.

VICTORIOUS: You are victorious by the blood of The Lamb - Revelation 12:11

“And they were victorious over him [the devil] by the blood of The Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives unto death.” Revelation 12:11

INFALLIBLE TRUTH:

• "Realize that you weren't set free from the worthless life handed down to you from your ancestors by a payment of silver or gold, which can be destroyed. Rather, the payment that freed you was the precious blood of Christ, The Lamb with no defects or imperfections." 1 Peter 1:18-1 9
• "The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!" John 1:29
• “For God loved the world in this way: He gave His One and Only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16

Praise & Prayer:
Thanks be to God, who gives me the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ! I realize, Lord Jesus, that only through Your blood can a loser like me find victory in life. I praise and worship You for sacrificing Your sinless life on the cross for my sins. Only Your precious blood can cleanse and wash away all of my filth, guilt, and shame. I loudly confess that only through Your blood am I freed from a worthless life and the sentence of eternal condemnation. Empower me, Holy Spirit, to be a brave witness who is unashamed to testify about the great things the Lamb of God has done for me, even if it costs me my life. Receive, O LORD, the glory, honor, majesty, and dominion forever and ever!

SALVATION: The salvation, power, and kingdom of God have come - Revelation 12:10

Then I heard a loud voice in heaven saying, "The salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the ruling authority of His Christ, have now come, because the accuser [Satan] of our brothers and sisters, the one who accuses them day and night before our God, has been thrown down. Revelation 12:10

Eternal Truth:
"When you were dead in your trespasses and in the uncircumcision of your sinful nature, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our trespasses, having canceled the debt ascribed to us in the decrees that stood against us. He took it away, nailing it to the cross! And having disarmed the powers and authorities, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross." Colossians 2:13-15

Praise & Prayer:

I recall from the holy scriptures, Lord Jesus, the constant accusations, malicious lies, undeserved hate, and torturous death You endured from the devil, religious leaders, and Your own people. I praise and worship You, Mighty Savior, for taking all of my sinful accusations and nailing them to the cross. I am filled with joy as I hear the loud voice in heaven saying, salvation, power, and the kingdom of God have come. Please guide me, Holy Spirit, to a family member or friend who is imprisoned in the pit of self-condemnation, hearing the accusations of the devil that says, "you are a wretched sinner who is going to hell." Use me to help pull them out of their dark pit of accusation by sharing the wonderful gift of salvation from our God through faith in His Messiah, Jesus, our Lord and Savior.

OPENED: God's temple in heaven has been opened - Revelation 11:19

Then God’s temple in heaven was opened, and within His temple was seen the ark of His covenant. And there came flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, an earthquake, and a severe hailstorm. Revelation 11:19

ETERNAL TRUTH:

• "And so, dear brothers and sisters, we can boldly enter heaven’s Most Holy Place because of the blood of Jesus. By His death, Jesus opened a new and life-giving way through the curtain into the Most Holy Place." Hebrews 10:19-20
• "Jesus therefore said unto them again, truly, truly, I say unto you, I AM the door of the sheep." John 10:7 
• “Lord,” said Thomas, “we do not know where You are going, so how can we know the way?” Jesus answered, “I AM the Way and the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." John 14:5-6

Praise & Worship:
I enter Your holy temple with reverence, Almighty God, because of the blood of Jesus, who opened the door to Your presence in heaven by a new and living way. I praise and worship You for sending Your beloved Son to be the door to salvation that leads me into Your "sheepfold." I openly declare that Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and I exalt the mighty name of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

REWARD: The time to reward God's people is coming - Revelation 11:18

"The nations were filled with rage, because the time for Your anger has come, the time for the dead to be judged. The time has come to reward Your servants, the prophets, and all your people, all who have reverence for you, great and small alike. The time has come to destroy those who destroy the earth!" Revelation 11:18

Prayer & Praise:
My greatest and highest reward is You, Lord Jesus. Almighty Father, I bow in reverence to worship and praise You for Your beloved Son, my Wonderful Savior, who is enough. Apart from Christ, I have nothing and am nothing. Because of Jesus, who took my place at the cross of death, I have a personal relationship with You—a priceless reward far beyond any earthly treasure this world can offer me. I place my trust in Jesus Christ alone, my eternal reward, and exalt His glorious name. Hallelujah and Amen!

REIGN: The Lord and Messiah will reign for ever and ever - Revelation 11:15

The seventh angel sounded his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, which said: "The kingdoms of this world have become the Kingdom of our Lord and of His Messiah, and He will reign for ever and ever.” Revelation 11:15

Poem: JESUS IS LORD! HE REIGNS - by Ed Ostrom
Jesus, Lord of lords, wondrous Kings of kings
truly to You now my heart joyfully sings,
In my heart reign without rival I pray
Lord Jesus, come now in my life, have Your own way.

Every mouth, Jesus, to You will confess
that by You their King, they are so richly blessed,
Everyone will acknowledge who You are
all mankind will truly worship You from afar.

Lord Jesus, on the altar of my heart
rule and reign in me; from evil I depart,
I want to spend my life serving in love
bringing glory and honor to My Lord above.

Worship & Prayer:

I lift my voice and join the loud voices in heaven, Almighty God, to worship You and to proclaim that Your Messiah, Christ Jesus, will reign forever and ever. Come, Lord Jesus, into my heart and reign within me. Holy Spirit, please guide someone across my path today who is a captive in darkness and being ruled by an evil spirit. Convict their heart of sin and stir them to confess Jesus as their Lord so they can be brought into His Kingdom of righteousness, peace, and joy. I pray in the name that is above all names, JESUS!

LIFE: God breathed the breath of life in you - Revelation 11:11

But after the three and a half days the breath of life from God entered them, and they stood on their feet, and terror struck those who saw them. Then they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here.” And they went up to heaven in a cloud, while their enemies looked on. Revelation 11:11-12

Infallible Truth:

• "The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life." Job 33:4
• "Then the LORD God formed the man from the dust of the ground. He breathed the breath of life into the man’s nostrils, and the man became a living person." Genesis 2:7
• “Don’t be afraid of those who want to kill your body; they cannot touch your soul. Fear only God, who can destroy both soul and body in hell." Matthew 10:28

Prayer

I praise You, Almighty God, for the breath of life and the life-giving Spirit You have poured into me through Jesus Christ. Please strengthen my faith, Holy Spirit, so I can be a bold and courageous witness for God and the good news of salvation to my family and those around me. Deliver me from being afraid of those who can harm my body but cannot destroy my soul. Teach me to fear only God, who will raise me from the dead through Jesus, my Risen Savior.
