Revelation 11 - Praying God's Word

 

Please read Revelation 11.

www.blueletterbible.org/nasb/rev/11/1/s_1178001

Meditate on verses 3-4.

 

And I will grant authority to my two witnesses,

 and they will prophesy for twelve

hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth. 

These are the two olive trees

and the two lampstands that

 stand before the LORD of the earth.

 

You may have learned the two witnesses in Revelation are perhaps Moses, Elijah, and/or Enoch.  Ponder for a moment the possibility of the two witnesses being the church.  Jesus said at the beginning of His revelation the lampstands are churches (Revelation 1:20).  And, the psalmist declared that he was like an olive tree in God’s house (Psalm 52:8).

 

Reread this chapter, picturing yourself as one of the witnesses because that is who Jesus declared you to be:

 

You will receive power when the Holy Spirit has

come upon you, and you shall be My witnesses

both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria,

and even to the remotest part of the earth.

—Acts 1:8

 

Ask the LORD to make you His bold witness and pray Revelation 11:15-18 as His faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

 

“LORD, the kingdom of the world has become

Your Kingdom, the Kingdom of Christ, and

You will reign forever and ever.

 I fall on my face and worship You!

 I give You thanks, O LORD God, the Almighty, who

 are and who were because You have taken Your

 great power and have begun to reign. 

LORD, the time is coming for the dead to be judged

and for Your bond-servants, the prophets and the saints

 and those who fear Your name, the small

and the great, to be rewarded.

 Please let _________ become your saint and bond-servant

 before You destroy those who destroy the earth. 

In Your name, Jesus~”
