OUR KING And He has a name written on His robe and on His thigh: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. —Revelation 19:16                Plain and simply… Jesus has all authority (Matthew 28:18). None is greater than He. He is the Creator and sustainer of all things (John 1:2: Colossians 1:16, 17; Hebrews 1:2-3).   Ponder how awesome He is! He has created all thing— from the microscopic to the humongous of stars and all of creation! It is hard to even begin to understand His awesomeness. He is so far beyond us and yet— “When Christ came into the world, he said: “Sacrifice and offering you did not…

BE STILL AND KNOW HE IS GOD!   He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” —Psalm 46:10                Be still? Can you be still? At this time of the year, the Christmas Season, it is possible, like Martha (Luke 10:38-42), to be so busy with preparations for the Season that we are not still to ponder and spend time with the One for whom this Season is all about—- our Lord Jesus! He is the One who is to be exalted!            Be still and know that He is God! “All this…

LIFT YOUR EYES TO GOD! Vindicate me, O God, and defend my cause against an ungodly people, from the deceitful and unjust man deliver me!  For you are the God in whom I take refuge; why have you rejected me? Why do I go about mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?  Send out your light and your truth; let them lead me; let them bring me to your holy hill and to your dwelling!  Then I will go to the altar of God, to God my exceeding joy, and I will praise you with the lyre, O God, my God.  Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you…

KILLED FOR TESTIMONY ABOUT JESUS! After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. Then one of the elders asked me, “These in white robes—who are they, and where did they come from?” I answered, “Sir, you know.” And he said, “These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. —Revelation 12:9, 13-14             There are those…

THE DAY OF WRATH IS COMING! Then the kings of the earth, the princes, the generals, the rich, the mighty, and everyone else, both slave and free, hid in caves and among the rocks of the mountains.  They called to the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb!  For the great day of their wrath has come, and who can withstand it?” —Revelation 6:15-17             Judgment day is coming! Above all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. They will say, “Where…

A KINGDOM AND PRIESTS TO SERVE GOD To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood, and has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father—to him be glory and power for ever and ever! Amen. “Look, he is coming with the clouds,” and “every eye will see him, even those who pierced him”; and all peoples on earth “will mourn because of him.” So shall it be! Amen. —Revelation 1:5-7             Jesus has freed us from our sins through His finished sacrifice on the cross— one time for all! (John 19:30; Hebrews 9:26; 10:12, 14; I John…

LOVE GOD AND HIS CHILDREN By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and obey his commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome. —I John 5:2-3             How do you know that I love you as a child of God? How do I know if you love me as a child of God? The answer is straight forward from this passage. If we are loving God and being obedient to what He says to us, then we love His children. If I am being disobedient to God then that shows that I…

GOD FIRST LOVED US! We love Him because He first loved us. —I John 4:19 Beloved, let us love one another, because love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. —I John 4:7-8             If we truly love God then this type of love will be seen in our lives which are mentioned below from I Corinthians 13. If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a ringing gong or a clanging cymbal.  If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom…

A NEW EARTH AND HEAVENS ARE IN OUR FUTURE! But according to his promise we are waiting for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells. —II Peter 3:9             He promised this is going to be case and He will carry out His promise.   Beloved, think about this— there is going to be a “new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.” Evil will not exist anymore!             You and I will not have wrong thoughts anymore. We will not have wrong actions anymore. Forever we will be and do what is right in our Lord’s sight.   This is the promise He has given…
