In Revelation 5:5, John followed the instructions of the elder to behold the Lion of the tribe of Judah…. But John saw a Lamb as though it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the Seven Spirits of God sent out into all the earth. Why did the Spirit of God show the Lamb and not the Lion of Judah to John?

So is this book from the past talking about the future or is it written from the past concerning our present days? Or could this book of Revelation be for both?

I have question for you again, do we walk on this earth as kings and priests to God now? Do we really believe we have the kingdom of God within us now?

Lo and behold, there is the Lamb of God, the King of all kings in our midst. Do we live that in our hearts that the Lover of our souls is here…. always!?

Final question, the Word of God is Jesus Christ and knowing this…. do we really live out what the word of God says?  Believing what the Word says as our living truth and foundation for the church?

If so, where are the men and women that Jesus gave us as gifts as spoken in Ephesians 4:8-11, Therefore He says: “When He ascended on high, He led captivity captive, and gave gifts to men.” (Now this, He ascended- what does it mean but that He also first descended into the lower parts of the earth? He who descended is also the One who ascended far above all the heavens, that He might fill all things.) And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists,  and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.

Did Jesus quit giving these gifts of men and women to the body of Christ? I do not think so because Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today,  and forever, as written in Hebrews 13:8.

Is our western church living out the plan of God as written in Ephesians?  God is a God of increase and are we His Light beaming brightly from the Mount  Zion, as His bride  spotless and blameless in a dark place?

If Jesus Christ returns today, how will He see His gifts of men and women (all five of them) working  in the body of Christ?  Did Jesus or John the Baptist fit the description for the “church of Jesus’ day”? Or even Paul, formerly known Saul of Tarsus?  Who was Paul’s Teacher in the knowledge of God’s heart that is found in Jesus Christ? If the Holy Spirit taught Paul, then did the Holy Spirit stop teaching the Lamb’s redeemed now?

Remember in Matthew 11:7-8, As they departed, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John: What did you go out to see? A reed shaken by the wind? But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft garments? Indeed, those who wear soft clothing are in kings houses. But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and more than a prophet.

Then Paul also abounds on the life of an apostle in 2 Corinthians 6:4-6, But in all things we commend ourselves as ministers of God: in much patience, in tribulations, in needs, in distresses, in stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labors, in sleeplessness, in fastings; by purity, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Spirit, by sincere love.—etc. 

The Holy Spirit brings to us the remembrance of the Words of Jesus, (John 14:26). Jesus also said in John 15:20, Remember the word that I said to you, A servant is not greater than his master. If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word, they will keep yours also.

There should be a distinction between the world’s kids and God’s.  Our song that we sing for all eternity( NOW) is celebrating the Lamb and His great cost to redeem us….. In reading any part of the new testament there is a cost for His ministers.   Just like our light bill, if we lighting up our surroundings, there will be a high cost….. if we are not lighting up or our light is covered with the business of the world, there will be a low cost.  That is because we are no threat to the evil one……… How are we plugged in to the Light of the World, our Power Plant today?

I hear the joyful and powerful song of the redeemed of the Lamb of God surrounding His throne……There is none ever like our Great God and His Son Jesus Christ…. AMEN AND AMEN!!!   Be a strong light, but remember it will cost alot!

What does the Gospel of John 16 and Revelation 4 have in common?

Let’s see, Jesus is speaking to us in both chapters, but what is He preparing our heart to receive?

What does that open door mean to us spiritually in Revelation 4:1? Paul had witnessed the presence of new life in Christ Jesus,           ( Ephesians 4:24), as well as the witnessing that we have now the mind of Christ in  1 Corinthians 2:16.

I believe that I am safe in saying that Paul who was once Saul of Tarsus is experiencing the effects of his new life in Christ Jesus and witnessing to us to grasp and apprehend this Promise of our Heavenly Father to us NOW.

The next chapter of my book, Jesus Christ, The King Of All Kings And Lord Of All Lords, Judge Of His Creation,  we are surrounding the throne of God. We can learn what  is opened to us now while we are here on this earth.

It will take an eternity to know the height, the depth, the length and width of the love of God that we have now in Christ Jesus.

Let me know if you found the connection between the two chapters! Happy exploring as we keep growing in our understanding of our inheritance in Christ Jesus.

The secret is that THE DEVIL IS DEFEATED!!!!! I pray that we as the body of Christ are living with that knowledge. The devil wants us to be in the dark about his great loss to our Lord Jesus Christ. We live from the  victory that we have in faith in our King Christ Jesus as written in 1 John 5:4.

So when the devil comes and tries to huff and bluff at us- we can stand strong in our faith. Our reply should be 1 John 4:4,  (paraphrase), He who is in me is greater than you that is in the world.  So be bound and go into the sea by the name of Jesus Christ!!!!

There is a great vision of our Father in heaven, Jesus has done His part and is interceding for us to complete ours.  We are heavenly equipped for the battle before us,but the great secret for us is that we fight from victory not to get it….. We already have it…..

The next chapter of my book , Jesus Christ, The King Of All Kings And Lord Of All Lords, The Judge Of His Creation, helps us to understand the vision of our Heavenly Father…. He has got an adventure for all of us…… Are you ready for  a wonderful supernatural life flowing from you?

Come on, let’s go for it…For it is written in Zechariah 4:6, So he answered and said to me, ” This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ says the Lord of hosts.

Do you have the ears to hear the Lion of Judah’s roar?  If not, do not feel bad, ask the Lord…. For it is written in Matthew 7:8, Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.  

Thank you Father, that Your great Love for us, never ever fails.  Come on brothers and sisters let us please beyond pleasure our Heavenly Father’s heart and believe the unbelievable and live the inconceivable life in the His Spirit with no bounds and limits! For it is also written in 1 Corinthians 3:17, Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is there is liberty.   It is written in Revelation 21:5, Then He who sat down on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And He said, “Write, for these words are true and faithful.” 

So let us walk in the newness of life that has been given to us as written in Romans 6:4 and serve in the newness of the Spirit as written in Romans 7:6. Check out these scriptures!  They are life giving to our inner man!!!!!

Amen and Amen, thank You Lord!

The above word is from Isaiah 33:17, Your eyes will see the King in His beauty. They will see the land that is very far off.

We are now ready to finish the last of the love letters from our King Jesus Christ. This letter is to the Laodiceans.

The land in the Isaiah scripture represents the promises of God that are available to us in Jesus Christ. I know our inheritance is great and beyond our comprehension. For our inheritance is Jesus Christ and we are His. We cannot exhaust all of eternity to explore the uniqueness of our God in Christ Jesus that we are called to in our inheritance.

I wrote in chapter 8 how to  check our hearts to make sure that they are beating in rhythm and living to the sounds of heaven.

What did Jesus mean when He said- you say you are rich and have become wealthy and have need of nothing in Revelation chapter 3:17? What does the eye salve mean?  What is the gold refined in the fire mean to us?

In my book, Jesus Christ, The King Of Kings And Lord Of All Lords, The Judge Of His Creation, chapter 8 goes into detail that we may receive Jesus Christ’s exhortation with understanding. Then we may turn and obey the discipline.

In Chapter 3:7 in the Book of Revelation, starts another love letter from Jesus Christ.   Jesus Christ in this church encourages Philadelphia. Did you notice there is no rebuke? He even says they already have crowns….. hmmm.

What does He mean that we are to hold on to what we have so we do not loose our crown?  We already have crowns?

What does all this mean for us now, here everyday? What is our responsibility towards Jesus Christ in holding fast???? What does the Lord mean when He has set an open door before us?

Get my book, Jesus Christ, The King Of Kings And Lord of Lords, The Judge of Creation.       Some of your questions may get answered…. Not all of them. Hey, when I get one answer, there are many more that I am still seeking from the Holy Spirit. He is a Great Teacher. I am still so grateful for Him, I am sure you are too.  I pray it will help you understand our Great Father’s plan in this day for you as a member of  His Body of Christ!

In John 10:10, Jesus said- I came that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

In Hebrews there is a prayer in 12:20-21, Now may the God of peace who brought up our Lord Jesus from the dead, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make you complete (perfect) in every good work to do His will, working in you what is well pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.

Now we already know and realize that the Lord’s intention on perfection for us is not that we won’t make mistakes.  The word complete or perfect in our Father’s eyes means to have the completeness returned to us that was lost in the natural man.  Again, in our flesh the scripture says there is no good thing. That is why spiritually we have been crucified with Christ.

From our Heavenly Father’s view we were not perfect or complete without Him( to me that is a no brainer!).We were bankrupt morally and spiritually.

However our Great Prince of Peace came to fix the huge divide. In Colossians 2:9-10, For in Him ( Christ Jesus) dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; and you are complete in Him, who is head of all principality and power.

Paul goes on to tell us how to live this out in five verses: Colossians 3:12-17, Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness and longsuffering; bearing with one another, if anyone has a complaint against another, even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do. But above all these things, put  on love, which is the bond of perfection. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts , to which you were called in one body; and be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

Jesus is our Prince of Peace for in Him we have peace with our Heavenly Father. We also have that special peace that goes beyond understanding when all around us is chaos. We have Jesus Christ and in Him, we have the great opportunity to pray( talk) with our Heavenly Father by the presence within us of His Holy Spirit.  Guess what, He hears and answers us too!  Talk about Peace! Amen!!!

What a day to celebrate our Lord Jesus! Hey, we don’t have to wait until next Wednesday to celebrate, we can rejoice today—- For with Christ, we have the good news everyday. Praise God everyone!

Have a Blessed and Merry Christmas and Safe, Healthy and Peaceful 2014.  You are precious in His sight, look for His touch of love in your days.

The song is announcing the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. That He is here…. Do you hear what I hear?

The good news is when the Christmas song is put away until next year, we still have our King! In Revelation chapter 1:13, and in the midst of the seven lampstands One like the Son of Man, clothed with a garment down to the feet and girded about the chest with a golden band. 

Also in Revelation 2:1, To the angel of the church of Ephesus write, ‘These things says He who holds the seven stars in His right hand, who walks in the midst of the seven golden lampstands.’ In my book and this blog I have written that as a reminder…. He is here with us and in us! Christ in us hope of glory, Colossians 1:27, my paraphrase.

How awesome is that! I get so excited when I meditate on that scripture. The strength I have is His, the love I have to give is His. Anything good in me is His. But I get to share in His glory. Nothing in this life beats that!!!!!

In John 10:14, by I am the Good Shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My own. Also in John 10:27, My sheep hear My voice and I know them, and they follow Me.

I have to ask how we are to follow Jesus Christ if we cannot hear His voice? Yes, I know He has to give us ears to hear. If you can not hear His still small beautiful Voice…. ask Him for help!!!!! We have the word of God as our solid foundation, but His Spirit guides in most wonderful ways when we have ears to hear.

It is okay to make mistakes, so do not let fear hinder us. He is God and can fix anything! He is a Great God. But do not miss hearing and seeing what the Spirit of God is speaking to you today!  If it was not an issue, then this scripture would not have been written in Hebrews! Hebrews 3:15, while it is said:” Today, if you will hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as in the day of rebellion.”  

Verse 3:19 of Hebrews also exhorts us to: So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.

Let us continue to follow our Lord and receive from the Lover of our soul- the inconceivable and live the unbelievable. ( The song written by Stephen Curtis Chapman- Great Expectations). I pray we go into 2014 with ears to hear Him and eyes to see what He is doing by the Spirit of God and the courage and boldness to obey.

Did you ever ask the Holy Spirit what does that mean in the letters of Paul? I have…. many, many times!

In the beginning of 2013, I wrote to join me in the quest of the upward high calling of God in Christ Jesus as written by Paul in chapter three in Philippians.

In Colossians 1:24, Paul writes, I rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up in my flesh what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ, for the sake of His body, which is the church.  

In Ephesians 3:13, Therefore I ask that you do not lose heart at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.

Was Paul stumbling on the high calling of God in Christ Jesus in his sufferings, afflictions or tribulations? He was taking his own cross that the Holy Spirit gave him in following our Lord Jesus Christ.  He somehow saw the filling up or completing the body of Christ in his “thorns in his side.”

In Corinthians, Paul was asking for the removal of these thorns in his side. Now as time went on he started to see the purpose of God in having them.

It has to be the cross of Christ before us. What does the message of the cross mean to us?  Yes, it should mean our salvation which we are very grateful for…… but there is more……

In Revelation 6:9, When He (Jesus Christ) opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held.

There are numerous brave Christians in prison in countries where Jesus Christ’s name is forbidden. If you have a bible, you a marked man or woman for prison or death.  They are in great persecution, even unto their life….. However, the growth of Christians in hiding is growing in these countries. Jesus is appearing to many in these countries….. What are the prisoners suffering doing for the body of Christ?

This coming year, may we know more of the meaning to live a life unto God in Christ in complete abandonment to His cause.

Let us prepare our hearts this season to follow our Lord, the Lion of Judah. In Romans 5:6; For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 

America, please I pray make room for the King in your hearts this day. There was no room for the Babe Christ many years ago…… Let it be not seen by Our Heavenly Father in this day that in the hearts of His people there is no room for His King, in Jesus’s name, I ask.

Remember, Jesus Christ had not risen from the dead, yet. Jesus Christ had not ascended into heaven, yet. Jesus Christ had not been glorified, yet. The Spirit of Grace had not been sent to the earth, yet…. when Jesus Christ was born in that little town of Bethlehem….. America, there is no excuse  for  us now.  This country was founded on our belief in that Baby King born over two thousand years ago….. Clean out our hearts and make room today! Let us have ears to hear His Spirit TODAY!

Proverbs 4:5 says: Get Wisdom! Get Understanding! Do not forget, nor turn away from the words of My mouth. Proverb 4:7 says: Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding!

In all the hustle and bustle of sales advertising regarding Christmas, we can easily get caught up in jargon. However, it is Jesus’ birthday. I asked Him this morning what He wanted.  I heard the scripture John 10:10, Jesus speaking to the crowds, the thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that  they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly .

I believe that the Lord would rather we give Him to all this Christmas! It does not rack up our credit cards and we do not have to wait in the long lines. However, it does take courage to speak so simply the message of complete Hope that lasts past Christmas day… His Gift of Himself lasts forever.

In our materialistic age, Jesus Christ is STILL the best Gift. I pray that this season instead of giving gifts that perish we can share the Greatest Gift ever! JESUS CHRIST!  He never breaks down or leaves. He is here 24-7 still saying- Come to Me, all  you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest (Matthew 11:28).

I think the man that Peter and John healed in Acts chapter 3 was quite glad that they had no silver or gold. Acts 3:6, Then Peter said,  “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.”      They reached for the guy and he leaped up and walked!  His life was changed from that day on being touched by Jesus Christ.  Gold and silver could not  change or help him past when the money for food ran out. He would have to return to begging again. This man’s life is changed forever. God will honor the name of His Beloved Son, when we pray in faith for others.

Let us who know the Lord, remember to give the best Gift ever. Saying Happy Birthday! Here is my gift to You, Lord, another that chooses to believes in You, the Son of God! Emmanuel!

Pray that we may see His opportunities before us and have boldness and courage to give Jesus Christ in what may be a hostile environment.

Happy getting for Him this Christmas Season!

How can I live in perfect works before you Lord? You know me…. Sometimes my day is full of mistakes from the time I open my eyes till I close them at night.

What do you mean, Lord? What are the perfect works our Heavenly Father is seeking?

I bet you thought the same thing as I did when I read our Beloved King’s fifth love letter to us. The Letter to the Sardis Church in Revelation 3:1.

Learn what the word perfection means to our God. It is not the American standard of perfect.

What does He mean when He sees we have a name that is alive but we are dead? Hmmmm.

I have some insight into His meaning and what He seeking from us. We all want to please the Lord. It would be a horrible time to run in our race and finally  get to the finish line. Then we are told we ran the wrong race!!!

Get my book to help make the Book of Revelation easy to understand. Learn our Heavenly Father’s language of symbolism.

Jesus Christ, The King Of All Kings And Lord Of All Lords, The Judge Of His Creation ,my book  may help you along with your journey with Our Great God, The Great I AM.

Jesus told us in Matthew 5:48, Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect. 

There is an expectation from our God for us to be like Him? How can we meet these expectations?  What provision did He give us to allow us to reach this ascended state?  Do you know?

I have some solutions from these many questions that I have asked the Holy Spirit over and over again in my book.

Hey, Jesus Christ, is not looking at our mistakes. He knows our flesh! He is seeking a much greater substance from us!  Open the Bible and get my book!
