Revelation 3:21


Revelation 3:21

“To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne as I also overcome and sat down with My Father on his throne.

 “To him who overcomes” this part is talking about us Christians that overcame the power of sin. Many times, us as humans think we do it in our own power but the only way we can overcome sin is with his power. He is all power full and you see in the next part of the scripture he allows us to sit with him on his very throne. This is our loving god that we take for granted. No earthly king would allow us to sit on the very throne that he is on. Our god is so proud of us that he will allow us one day to sit on the very throne that he sits on. This verse goes on to say, “I also overcame and sat down with my father on his throne”. This is the part that amazes me Jesus came down and truly had to fight the urge to sin just like us fully man but fully Christ. But he found his power in god alone and never fell once this is truly amazing. This verse shows that the lord is all knowing and he’s walking through are struggles with us as I type. This is the god we serve and he is waiting for us to take that seat on his holy throne with him.   

Application

Pray tonight that the lord will give me the strength to overcome sin in my life.

luke 8: 22-25

Luke 8: 22-25 – “One day Jesus said to his disciples, Let us go over to the other side of the lake so they got into a boat and set out. As they sailed, he fell asleep. A squall came down on the lake, so they were in great danger. The disciples went and woke him, saying “Master, Master, we’re going to drown! He got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waters; the storm subsided and all was calm Where is your faith? He asked his disciples, in fear and amazement they asked one another “Who is this?” He commands even the winds and the water and they obey Him.” This verse makes me think about how we can’t fathom the power Jesus has. Calming a raging lake is not even able to be understood because no earthly thing can control weather. Jesus says where is your faith this made me think of what kind of faith I would have in that situation. I believe I would say exactly what they said because that is so unreal. Where is your faith, I had that line repeating in my head as I was doing this...

Revelations 14:9-10

Revelations 14:9-10 9Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand,10 “he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of god, which is poured out full strength into the cup of his indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the lamb. This verse is what I call a come to Jesus verse because it scares the people that have not excepted Jesus. This is one verse that my mom has reminded me through out my life about. This verse opens your eyes up to how descriptive the bible is and how it describes exactly what is to come. I loved hearing about this part of scripture from my mom because I felt like she was helping prepare me. The last stanza goes into detail about the wrath of the lord and how he truly tells you what will happen to those who get the mark. The mark of the beast is one thing th...

1 corinthians 9:22

1 Corinthians 9:22 To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some. This was a powerful verse for me. This changed the way I look at reaching out to people. The first thing I notice is the point of becoming weak to help the weak. My thought on it was make people feel like you’re not better than them and you both are on the same playing ground in life so you have something common with that person. Relating to someone one is a good first step in starting deep conversation with them. Relating to someone is hard if you’re wearing the newest shoes but they are wearing none. The lord calls us to make them feel at home with you and not make them uncomfortable from a feeling of being less then you. If I got 1 lesson from this verse it would try to always make people comfortable and never less then you in every situation. The last sentence something huge “I have to become all things to all people so tha...
