My dear brothers and sisters, dedicating your lives to singing for Jesus: I am Jesus YOUR Savior, who, having died for all mankind; and now being raised from the dead I SHALL DIE NO MORE, the great sacrifice has been completed. And I HAVE THE KEYS of death and the grave, so that I can destroy the living and raise the dead. This key signifies the power and authority over life, death, and the grave.
“I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I AM ALIVE FOR EVERMORE, amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.” (Rev. 1:18)
These visions and prophecies are for our general instruction, and so every situation must be faithfully detailed. That’s why we received this word!
“Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear, and who keep what is written in it, for the time is near.” (Rev. 1:3)
What John saw was to be written; what John was about to see, concerning the seven Churches, must be also written. That’s why Jesus said:
“Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter;” (Rev. 1:19)
Let me stop a minute and say something about this, I have heard many people say ‘I don’t read the book of Revelation. It’s too hard to understand!’ Remember John said above, about this book. Our Abba Father is anxious to reveal (show) His word to us!
“Now we have received…the spirit which is of God; that WE MIGHT KNOW the things that are FREELY GIVEN TO US OF GOD…For who hath known the mind of the Lord…WE HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST.” (1 Corin. 2:12, 16)
No more excuses, let’s prayerfully dive into the word of God, He will give us understanding of His word.
GOD WILL REVEAL HIS WORD TO US BY HIS SPIRIT!
FaithLine, the bible says: “that WE MIGHT KNOW the things that are FREELY GIVEN TO US OF GOD…”
