Christian Devotional – February 15, 2014
Read Revelation chapter 15 VERSE: Revelation 15:4–“Who will not fear you, Lord, and bring glory to your name? For you alone are holy. All nations will come and worship before you, for your righteous acts have been revealed.” TRUTH: As those saints who have patiently endured the difficulties that God allowed them to go through, they sing a song of praise to God. Al God’s righteous acts have been revealed, so that if there was any doubt about the reason we are to praise God, that will be gone. God is holy and worthy of all the praise. RESPONSE: Father, You alone are worthy and holy. I pray You will…

Read Revelation chapter 14 VERSE: Revelation 14:12–This calls for patient endurance on the part of the people of God who keep his commands and remain faithful to Jesus. TRUTH: Patience and endurance: two words that many people dislike and try to stay away from. However, during this time, the Lord indicates that things will be difficult for those who are followers of Christ. Will we remain faithful to Jesus even through the difficult and hard times? Will we be willing to patiently endure what He allows us to go through? RESPONSE: Father, I pray that You will help me to patiently endure whatever You allow me to go through. I…

Read Revelation chapter 13 VERSE: Revelation 13:8–All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast–all whose names have not been written in the Lamb’s book of life, the Lamb who was slain from the creation of the world. TRUTH: There is no middle ground. Either we will worship and follow God or we will worship and follow Satan. As we are going through our life, do our actions reflect what we say is our choice? Everyone who has received Jesus Christ has had their name written in the book of life. Do we? RESPONSE: Father, You have a plan and I must either serve You or I will be serving Satan. I…

Read Revelation chapter 12 VERSE: Revelation 12:9–The great dragon was hurled down–that wicked serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him. TRUTH: Despite what some people say or would like to believe, Satan and demons are very real. He is not just some idea or thought that people use to scare others. He is real and true and dangerous. He delights in leading the whole world astray. We make a mistake if we discount Him, for He is our true adversary. He will be looking for a way today to deceive us and lead us…

Read Revelation chapter 11 VERSE: Revelation 11:15–The seventh angel sounded his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, which said, “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Messiah, and he will reign for ever and ever.” TRUTH: It can be so easy to go through life trying to build our own kingdoms, and enhance ourselves and the countries that we live in. However, this verse explains that in the end, there will be only one kingdom: God’s kingdom. Jesus Christ will reign over this kingdom forever and ever. Are we doing things to build up our own kingdoms or His kingdom?…

Read Revelation chapter 10 VERSE: Revelation 10:11–Then I was told, “You must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, languages, and kings.” TRUTH: When we are sharing the good news of Jesus Christ, sometimes we think that sharing one time with a person is enough. Regardless of the response, we are to share again and again with people. We must tell the people all that God tells us to, so that they may know and have every opportunity to repent. Are we sharing again and again? RESPONSE: Father, You are over all peoples, nations, languages, and kings, so Your message is important enough to be shared time after time with them.…

Christian Devotional – February 9, 2014
Read Revelation chapter 9 VERSE: Revelation 9:20–The rest of mankind who were not killed by these plagues still did not repent of the work of their hands, they did not stop worshipping demons, and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone, and wood–idols that cannot see or hear or walk. TRUTH: So much destruction and devastation comes on the earth, yet even in the midst of this, the people are not willing to repent and turn back to God. When we are doing something against God, what does it take to get our attention and push us toward repentance? RESPONSE: Father, You desire for all to come to repentance, yet some…

Christian Devotional – February 8, 2014
Read Revelation chapter 8 VERSE: Revelation 8:13–As I watched, I heard an eagle that was flying in midair call out in a loud voice: “Woe! Woe! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth, because of the trumpet blasts about to be sounded by the other three angels.” TRUTH: As John details the judgment that comes to the earth with the first four of the trumpets, it is hard to realize that judgment from the next three will be even worse. The depth of the disobedience to God is hard to understand and as a result, it is hard to fathom the judgment that will come. However, even in the midst of…

Read Revelation chapter 7 VERSE: Revelation 7:17–“For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd; he will lead them to springs of living water. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.” TRUTH: All those who believe in Jesus Christ will one day be clothed in white, gathered around the throne of God. He will lead us. He will care for us and all our physical needs and emotional needs. We can trust Him completely. He is our Savior and through Him is all that we need and desire. RESPONSE: Father, one day I will see You face to face, yet even now, You…

Christian Devotional – February 6, 2014
Read Revelation chapter 6 VERSE: Revelation 6:10–They called out in a loud voice, “How long Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until you judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood?” TRUTH: Millions of believers have been killed throughout the centuries because of their belief in Jesus Christ. God knows and remembers every single one of them. In the final days, as these saints look on, God indicates to them that He will avenge their blood, but in the meantime, they are asked to wait. Many have waited for a long time and yet God is moving in His perfect time for everything. Are we willing to wait on…
