Scripture: Revelations 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 Christ,
and he will reign for ever and ever.”

Observation: Wow I can’t wait until this earth becomes the kingdom of Christ instead of the devil. This world constantly is going down in morals and of God’s love. It continues to draw farther from God each day with sexual immorality, idolatry, greed, lust and hate. Only Christ can change this world.

Application: Start telling others about our new ruler now so they will be ready when he comes. Help change the heart of those that don’t know him. Allow the Holy Spirit to work through me and allow him to fulfill the purpose God has created me for.

Prayer: Dear Lord I can’t wait to see you whether it is in this world or the next. Show me how to be the man you want me to be and guide me so I may be ready for you.

Scripture: Revelation 10: [11] Then I was told, “You must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, languages and king

Observation: We are commanded to prophesy, it’s not just a request. We are created to tell others the love of God and to bring them into eternal life with the Father. The word says God wants none to perish and he is giving us this opportunity to do his will.

Application: To do what God commands me to do, to prophesy in his name. To give my testimony on any given opportunity and to spread the gospel of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Prayer: Dear Lord help me do what you have created me to do and to give me courage to be bold to spread your word in this world, to glorify your name.

Scripture: Revelations 9: 20 The rest of mankind that were not killed by these plagues still did not repent of the work of their hands; they did not stop worshiping demons, and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone and wood–idols that cannot see or hear or walk.

Observation: It is so hard to believe here is the end of the world and the people see all of this destruction and yet they still do not repent. Why is it so hard for us to say we are wrong and bow down to God? We can’t get past ourselves and our desires and give praise to the One who created us, we would rather suffer in our own decisions instead of giving God the honor He is due.

Application: I need to repent of my sins. A sin is anything that displeases God and I still do my share of that. I’m here only to serve God and to fulfill my purpose in this life. I need to be careful with my thoughts and to be patient waiting on God.

Prayer: Dear Father guide this servant and forgive me of my sins. Help me through each day to be careful of what I do, say and think and draw me nearer to you.

Scripture: Revelations 8: [4] The smoke of the incense, together with the prayers of the saints, went up before God from the angel’s hand.

Observation: I love this image of my prayers going up before God. That the creator of everything hears my prayers and I know he answers them. I don’t know why God would care to hear me, but I know he does.

Application: To continue to pray and to seek God’s will for my life. To talk with my Father and to understand what would please him. To sit still and listen to what he has to tell me and then express my love and gratitude for all he has done for me.

Prayer: Dear Lord I love to talk with you and know that you listen to me. Draw me closer and show me how to hear your voice guiding my life. I love you Father, may I draw nearer to you.

Scripture: Revelation 7:11 All the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures. They fell down on their faces before the throne and worshiped God,

Observation: I look around this world and there are not very many worshiping God and that includes me. Here all heaven is on their knees worshiping God, has it should be, He is worthy of all our worship. I live each day with a mild regard for God instead of being full of awe by his presence. I take the God who loves me for granted and yet He still loves me.

Application: I need to start giving what my Lord is due. All of my love, praise and worship. I need to spend more time with him and do things for his glory and not mine. I need to realize who I’m talking to when I pray and bow down and thank him and beg for his forgiveness for a life that falls short of what he deserves from me.

Prayer: Dear Father you are worthy of all I am and not what I have been giving you. Fill me with the Holy Spirit and guide this servant so I may honor you as you deserve. I am your child, your servant and your slave, use me as you desire. May I honor you with this life.

Scripture: Revelations 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?”

Observation: I really feel the end is coming as I look around the world and all that is happening. It’s amazing at times that God can even put up with all that happens here. The world embraces sin and ignores God more each day it seems, yet He is still working on our behalf.

Application: Live my life as if the end may come today. Live a life that can help bring others to Christ and to be different from this world. Do things each day that will build my treasures in heaven for God’s glory.

Prayer: Dear Father open the eyes that don’t know you and draw them near. May your people repent and turn to you and may I be of some use to you, showing them your love.

Scripture: Revelations 5: 14 The four living creatures said, “Amen,” and the elders fell down and worshiped.

Observation: Everything in heaven bows down and worships Jesus, so why don’t we. I hear Jesus name used so much more in profanity than in worship. I notice myself not using his name more than I should in appreciation for all he has done for me. I should be telling the world about Jesus and how we should worship him constantly.

Application: Just when I think of my Lord I should say something in praise to glorify him. I need to stop taking my Lord and savior for granted and take more time to worship him in all that I do.

Prayer: Dear Lord you are worthy of all my praise, love and obedience. Help me live a life that would show that to you and lead others to the throne of your grace.
