Hearing God In Rev 20 (Jan 2)

Being Ready for Victory Over Evil

Following judgments of the 7 vials,
John sees the doom of Babylon.
And a great multitude sings praises
ahead of the marriage of the Lamb.
A white horse emerges, mounted
by the King of Kings who destroys
the beast and the false prophet…
setting the stage for a new heaven
and new earth, where God and His
people live in intimate fellowship.

Lord, we’ll Be Ready for Judgment:
Then I saw an angel…with the key
to the bottomless pit…He seized
the dragon who is the devil & bound
him for a thousand years(Rev20:1-2)
The Devil who betrayed them was
thrown into the lake of fire… joining
the beast and the false prophetsɉ۬And I saw a great white throne, and
I saw the One…sitting on it (v10-11).
I saw the dead… standing before
God’s throne. And the books were
opened, including Book of Life (v12)

Lord, the revelation on end times
reassures us good will ultimately 
triumph over evil and gives us hope
when faithfully enduring struggles 
though we are wavering in faith.
Grant us courage and strong heart
to keep pressing on & fix our eyes
on Christ Jesus. And we will rejoice,
knowing that You Triumph Over Evil
and that You are in control. Amen.

Lord, You are sovereignly on the
throne, You have already overcome
the enemy and You are the victor.
Living in the end times, help me 
spend less time worrying about
a defeated enemy and more time
concerned about those who need
the truth. Help me remember time
is limited & help me play the game
of life to make a difference. Amen.

Lord, I pray in faith that when You
open the books, what You find will
not bring condemnation but will
be confirmation that all my dear
friends & loved ones are all Yours.
I pray that it will not be a record
of their fleshly works, but only of
the righteousness of Christ, both
imputed by grace and imparted
through the grace of the Spirit’s
sanctifying power. In His name,Amen
