LOVE, FORGIVE, PRAY

“And now, just as you accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord, you must continue to follow him, and let your lives be built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness. Colossians 2:6-7 But when you are praying, first forgive anyone you are holding a grudge against, so that your Father in heaven will forgive your sins, too. Mark 11:25 You cannot be a product of heaven being a product of contemporary culture.

Three ways to become a product of Heaven:

1. Love Am I loving God the way He wants to be loved? Loving from my uniqueness. Who I am. Being authentic. Am I pursuing the power to love or the love of power?

2. Forgive Forgive 7 x 70 You can never move far enough away for God to forgive.

3. Prayer Prayer may not be answered because of a lack of forgiveness. You do not have to allow your heart to be trampled. You are unable to live life fully when you are wounded. You are able to live life scarred. Scar tissue is 7 times stronger. Come from your scars instead of your wounds. Give your heart to Him. God is the great I Am and healer.

REVELATION

The Time Is Near Revelation 1:3 is the first of seven beatitudes in the book. It says, "Blessed is the one who reads the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it because the time is near.” There are several things at work here in this verse. The word blessed is more than just being happy. It is not an emotion, it is a state of BEING. The only truly blessed person is one who humbles himself before the Lord. So the blessed people here are the believers who take to heart the things written in it. There is a great emphasis in Revelation on the church’s response to Jesus and to the prophecy. We are to not only read it but to hear it and take it to heart. Take note that this book is called prophecy (1:3, 22:7,10,18, and 19). This prophecy is straight from the heart of God to His church, the body of Christ. What is one test of true proph ecy? One test is whether it holds true to Scripture or not. You’ll be interested to know that there are over 400 allusions to the Old Testament in this book. The Book of Revelation is a revelation of Jesus Christ Himself.

This can refer to the following three things:

1. Things to know about Jesus Christ Himself;

2. The event in which He comes to this earth;

3. The information He gives to John and to us about what is going to take place in the future. The book of Daniel is very closely related to the events in Revelation.

However, in Daniel 12:8-9 it says, “Although I heard, I did not understand. Then I said, “My lord, what shall be the end of these things?” And he said, “Go your way, Daniel, for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.” Yet in Revelation 22:10 we read: “And he said to me, “Do not seal the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is at hand.”

The time is Near.

REVELATION

Fact, not Fiction The Book of Revelation in the Bible is not a fairytale , although for those who believe in Jesus, it does have a happy ending. In the first three verses, there are seven things we can learn about the book to help us with a better perspective about the book. 1. It PRESENTS Jesus Christ in all His glory – 1:1 2. It PROCLAIMS the glorious return of Christ to the earth! 3. It PROPHESIES events in the future that will take place within a short period of time. 4. It PICTURES future events with unique symbolism. 5. It PUTS heavy emphasis on the role and ministry of angels 6. It PLACES great emphasis upon the church and its response to Christ – 1:1 7. It POURS great blessing to believers – 1:3 It is a book that “reveals” the power and nature of Jesus from the one who was the closest to Him while on earth - John, the Beloved. It is also a book that describes the Trials and Tribulations that will ensue before the devil - our enemy - will give up. What do we do while we are awaiting Jesus’ return? We can see that in Romans 13: 8-14... 8 Owe nothing to anyone—except for your obligation to love one another. If you love your neighbor, you will fulfill the requirements of God’s law. 9 For the commandments say, “You must not commit adultery. You must not murder. You must not steal. You must not covet.”[a] These—and other such commandments—are summed up in this one commandment: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”[b] 10 Love does no wrong to others, so love fulfills the requirements of God’s law. 11 This is all the more urgent, for you know how late it is; time is running out. Wake up, for our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. 12 The night is almost gone; the day of salvation will soon be here. So remove your dark deeds like dirty clothes, and put on the shining armor of right living. 13 Because we belong to the day, we must live decent lives for all to see. Don’t participate in the darkness of wild parties and drunkenness, or in sexual promiscuity and immoral living, or in quarreling and jealousy. 14 Instead, clothe yourself with the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ. And don’t let yourself think about ways to indulge your evil desires. Romans 13:8-14

PERSEVERING THROUGH TRIAL

The Bible makes this very clear. In Scripture, God gave us seven specific promises about how He helps us persevere through trials. (This excerpt was taken from an email from Jimmy Evans and his Tipping Point email.) 1. He rewards courage Rewards will be yours when you stand strong and do not let your faith waver: “But you, be strong and do not let your hands be weak, for your work shall be rewarded!”—2 Chronicles 15:7 2.

He elevates us Paul wrote to Timothy that the ability to withstand hardship earns the promise of ruling with the Lord, including during the coming Millennium: If we endure hardship, we shall also reign with him. If we deny him, he also will deny us.—2 Timothy 2:12 3.

He perfects us According to the psalmist, God promises to fulfill His purpose in you, to cover you with his steadfast love, and to never abandon you: The Lord will perfect that which concerns me; Your mercy, O Lord, endures forever; Do not forsake the works of Your hands.— Psalm 138:8 4.

He gives us strength Paul encouraged the Church at Philippi by telling them that the Lord will empower His people to handle every circumstance: Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. 13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.—Philippians 4:12-13 5.

He fills us with power and joy We also pray that you will be strengthened with all his glorious power so you will have all the endurance and patience you need. May you be filled with joy, 12 always thanking the Father. He has enabled you to share in the inheritance that belongs to his people, who live in the light.—Colossians 1:11-12 (NLT) 6. He keeps us safe And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work and preserve me for His heavenly kingdom. To Him be glory forever and ever. Amen!—2 Timothy 4:18 7.

He helps us grow And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; 4 and perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5 Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.—Romans 5:3-5

The Power to Withstand

If you have given your life to Jesus, He promises to rescue you. He has prepared for you an eternity of joy, pleasure and happiness. He wants better for you than you even want for yourself. He wants to help you with anything and everything. He will always be with you and He is listening to your prayers. Jesus Christ loves you more than anyone has ever loved you, and you can always ask Him for help.

Remember: The Lord is with you.

He will always be with you. He will never leave you.

He is gracious and patient and will never give up on you.

On your worst day, He will be your best friend. And regardless of what is going on in the world or what evil people are doing,

God is above it all. He is always in control. He exists outside of time, so He is already in the future! He is also with you right now, in the present. All-knowing and all-powerful, God is bigger than any problem or enemy. Depend on Him and He will be faithful to you!

We believe in God, so we speak. “Therefore, since God in his mercy has given us this new way, we never give up. We reject all shameful deeds and underhanded methods. We don’t try to trick anyone or distort the word of God. We tell the truth before God, and all who are honest know this. If the Good News we preach is hidden behind a veil, it is hidden only from those who are perishing. Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good news. They don’t understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God. You see, we don’t go around preaching about ourselves. We preach that Jesus Christ is Lord, and we ourselves are your servants for Jesus’ sake. For God, who said, “Let there be light in the darkness,” has made this light shine in our hearts so we could know the glory of God that is seen in the face of Jesus Christ. We now have this light shining in our hearts, but we ourselves are like fragile clay jars containing this great treasure. This makes it clear that our great power is from God, not from ourselves. We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair. We are hunted down but never abandoned by God. We get knocked down, but we are not destroyed. Through suffering, our bodies continue to share in the death of Jesus so that the life of Jesus may also be seen in our bodies. … But we continue to preach because we have the same kind of faith the psalmist had when he said, “I believed in God, so I spoke.” We know that God, who raised the Lord Jesus, will also raise us with Jesus and present us to himself together with you. All of this is for your benefit. And as God’s grace reaches more and more people, there will be great thanksgiving, and Good will receive more and more glory. That is why we never give up. Though our bodies are dying, our spirits are being renewed every day. For our present troubles are small and won’t last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever! So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever.” 2 Corinthians 4:1-10,13-18 NLT
