Rear Revelation chapter 19 VERSE: Revelation 19:5–Then a voice came from the throne saying, “Praise our God, all you his servants, you who fear him, both great and small!” TRUTH: So much of the book of Revelation discusses the praise of God. He is indeed worthy of all that we can do to praise and lift Him up. It doesn’t matter whether we have much to be able to praise Him or a little to be able to praise Him. Whatever we have, we are to lift Him up and praise God. We should never allow anything to get in our way of lifting up and praising God. RESPONSE: Father,…

Read Revelation chapter 18 VERSE: Revelation 18:14–“They will say, ‘The fruit you longed for is gone from you. All your luxury and splendor have vanished never to be recovered.'” TRUTH: As Babylon is destroyed, they are reminded that all the luxury and splendor that had once been part of Babylon are gone. We must be careful not to judge things by their appearances. Just because something or someone looks successful on the outside doesn’t mean that they will last or that they are built on a solid foundation. Are we building our lives on the correct foundation? Do we base our lives on following Jesus Christ, or are we solely…

Read Revelation chapter 17 VERSE: Revelation 17:14–They will wage war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will triumph over them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings–and with him will be his called, chosen, and faithful followers. TRUTH: Even with Christ having the position of authority over all else as King of kings and Lord of lords, evil will still wage war and fight against them. Even though evil knows it will ultimately be defeated, that doesn’t stop it from trying to take as many people down with him as possible. The Lamb will triumph! RESPONSE: Father, I know that You are victorious over evil, both now…

Read Revelation chapter 16 VERSE: Revelation 16:7–And I heard the altar respond: “Yes, Lord God Almighty, true and just are your judgments.” TRUTH: Even as God is pouring out His judgments on the world, the statement is made that the Lord’s judgments are just and true. We may not understand His judgment, but we can trust it. We don’t have to wonder about it, we can wait and realize that God’s judgment are always exactly what is best. RESPONSE: Father, Your judgments are true and just. You are the Lord Almighty and I will praise You through all that happens. I will wait on You and trust all that You…

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.…
