Revelation 2 - Praying God's Word

 

Please read Revelation 2.

www.blueletterbible.org/nasb/rev/2/1/s_1169001

Meditate on verse 29.

 

He who has an ear, let him hear

what the Spirit says to the churches.

 

John recorded seven messages to seven churches, and we are commanded to hear what the Spirit said.  Consider reading the messages three times: observing Jesus, repenting of sin, and noticing the reward for overcoming.

 

As you fix your eyes on Jesus, you see He is:

 

·      The One holding the seven stars in His right hand and walking among the seven golden lampstands (v. 1).

·      The first and the last, who was dead, and has come to life (v. 8).

·      The One with the sharp two-edged sword (v. 12).

·      The Son of God, with eyes like a flame of fire and feet like burnished bronze (v. 18).

 

Ask the LORD to convict you of sins listed in this chapter.  Have you lost your first love for Jesus (v. 4)?  Do you hold to the teaching of false teachers, denying God’s truth (vs. 14-15, 20)? 

 

Repent and pray to be an overcomer.  Pray Revelation 2:7, 10, 17, and 26 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

 

“LORD, let __________ and me hear what Your

Spirit says to the churches.  Let us overcome and eat

 of the tree of life in the Paradise of God.  Make us faithful until

death and give us the crown of life.  Help us

overcome and give us some of Your hidden manna

 and a white stone with a new name written on it.

 LORD, let us overcome and keep Your deeds until the end.

 Give us authority over the nations.

For the sake of Your name, Jesus~”
