Proved Disastrous

But Wait, There's More

I can't take credit for this great image, it was something floating around Facebook. 

Verses 5 and 6 have been favorites of mine for many years, but don't stop reading there - continue on we have a beautiful promise that is given in verse 8 if we will just follow the directions of verse 5,6, and 7 

"It will be healing to your flesh 

and refreshment to your bones."

This is what this verse says in the NET Bible: 

"This will bring healing to your body, 

and refreshment to your inner self." 

I don't know about you, but during these uncertain times- I need refreshment for my inner self and healing for my body- I am sure that the stress of all of this mess is not good for my health. And I need to continuously remind myself to Trust in God! 

A Special Blessing, How?

"Blessed is he that read it, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand." Rev. 1:3

Did you realize there is a threefold blessing in the very first chapter of Revelations?

1. He that readeth

2. They that hear

3. And keep those things which are written therein

How to keep the words of this prophecy:

1. Abide by the principles of the book.

2. Study its prophecies and wait for them.

3 Learn its promises, and lean on them.

As you can tell I am going through a study of the book of Revelations in prayer meeting. And sometime during the last year I had been blessed to find the book -Revelations Verse by Verse by Henry Feyerbend This book has been helpful as has several other great books that share information on each verse. Revelations can be an intimidating book to read. It can be challenging to understand, but if we will ask the Holy Spirit to help us understand - He will help us. And I promise each time you study it - you will find new gems. I have been blessed with several new insights so far and we are only on Chapter 5. I can't wait to see what else I learn. Tonight is another Prayer Meeting. I am looking forward to it! :O)

Praise the Lord!

Don't Be a Stumbling Block

"Jesus responded by saying, every disciple who understands what God's kingdom is all about is like a wise homeowner who blends treasured antiques with new items of great value. In the same way my disciples know how to give new value to old truths." Matthew 13:52 (Clear Word Bible )

Perfect verse to go along with something I learned this weekend. My pastor talked about Rev. 3:16 where God says "So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth."

Why does God feel so strongly about those who are lukewarm?

Because often times they actually act as roadblocks or stumbling blocks to God.

Infinite Love of God
