Revelation 16 - Praying God's Word

 

Please read Revelation 16.

Meditate on verses 5-7.

 

And I heard the angel of the waters saying,

 "Righteous are You, who are and who were, O

Holy One, because You judged these things;

for they poured out the blood of saints

and prophets, and You have given them

 blood to drink. They deserve it."

And I heard the altar saying, "Yes, O LORD God, the

Almighty, true and righteous are Your judgments."

 

Seven seals, seven trumpets, seven bowls—God’s judgment poured out on mankind who refuse to be covered by the blood of the Lamb.  Since the beginning of time, Satan’s desire is to delude the minds of humans, so they question and deny the authority of God.  “Did God really say…” (Genesis 3:1).  And, now you see the end results of the devil’s schemes: humans, the crown of God’s creation, covered in His wrath, blaspheming Him instead of repenting so as to give the Almighty glory (v. 9).

 

Genesis 3 and Revelation 16, tragic bookends of God’s Word for those who believe Satan’s lies and follow the created rather than the Creator.  Let these chapters motivate you to tell others the truth about Jesus.  Pray for God to give them ears to hear. 

 

Do you know people who already behave like those in Revelation 16, blaspheming God when things are bad?  Pray for them to repent before it is too late, using Revelation 16:9, 11, and 21 as their faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

 

“LORD, please let _____________ stop blaspheming

 Your name.  Let them repent and give You glory. 

Let them stop blaspheming You, God of heaven,

because of their pains and sores.  May they

repent of their deeds.  Let them stop

 blaspheming You, God, before the

plague becomes extremely severe.

For the sake of Your name, Jesus~”
