I certainly would center my life around God

Salvation in Jesus Christ comes through faith by the grace of God our Father. Right living cannot come through effort; it can only be done with the unmerited favor of God working in us through His Holy Spirit. Sin cannot face God because He is Holy (period)! We must be holy if we want to see Him. As we work out our salvation in fear and trembling, we draw on the grace and power of the Holy Spirit who is working in us to sanctify, purifies and transform us into the image of God. Holiness is who God is, it is a facet of His personality and He cannot be separated from it! When we live holy lives we bring glory to His name and represent our God to a lost world.

Jesus sees His church as a pure, unblemished, spotless bride. She will be sanctified, sinless, purified and ready to receive her Bridegroom when He appears in all His splendor and glory! Her holiness and righteousness will allow her to truly

The water of life represents the life giving salvation and eternal life that comes only from God because it flows out of Him. It is the truth of God that leads to eternal life and salvation. It represents His fullness, wholeness, completeness and when we drink of it, we become one with Him and partake of the eternal blessings that comprised in it. The Lord gives us this free choice, it is a call to those who are thirsty and desire the true gift of life. It is free because it is God

God will not just be in us, as His Spirit dwells in us

The Word of God says that those who call upon Him in truth will be saved. Also we confess with our mouth and believe in our heart that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father, we receive salvation. God is the ultimate judge of mankind, who gets to enter and stay out rests in His hands solely. I believe in Jesus and the Holy Spirit in me takes me from glory to glory in the image of Him who created me. I am a partaker in His divine nature, and when I follow and abide in His word I have assurance beyond measure that I will realize salvation through Christ Jesus!

The scene of final judgment is frightening because everything will be final. We will not be able to take back our mistakes/sins. They will arrayed before us as a finality of our choices (no matter how big or small the sin/mistake). We will be judged for everything that was done, said, thought- even a stray, careless thought will be scrutinized and brought to light in the presence of God. Repentance will cease and judgment in all equity will be administered, although God

King of Kings implies His Kingship is better and more sovereign that any earthly king that ever existed or will exist. He is above all; the one and only King who will administer justice and righteousness for those are the foundations of His throne. It also means that He is in control of our lives. He is the

I am encouraged in the fact that God wants us for Himself and with that He has promised to never leave nor forsake us! He has planned great and marvelous things for His children. He has chosen us through and betrothed us to His Son Jesus Christ. This means He is in and with us, and is committed to leading, guiding and preparing us for His great feast! We are admonished that we cannot take God for granted. We must persevere in Him and prepare ourselves to be beautiful, unblemished brides to the Bridegroom. As He goes to prepare a place for us, we must wait with hopeful expectation, cleansing ourselves from all unrighteousness and walking in the works He prepared for us before time. Interestingly, one of Jesus

The balance lies in Jesus Christ as our role model and guide. Not only did Jesus choose to associate with sinners but the light within Him transformed their lives! However, He didn

Worship comes as a natural response in adoration of our God as we experience His love, faithfulness and glory. Appropriate praise and worship stems from God being who He is and our relation to Him. It revolves and centers around Him and only Him, everything (ourselves included) fade into the background, He is magnified and glorified with our praises (be enthroned in the praises of your people). We must worship Him in spirit and in truth. In the book of revelation, we see all the host of heaven bowing down before Him in allegiance and humility to His greatness and personhood. Constant praise comes forth from their mouths to honor the Almighty God for there is none more worthy than Him of all praise and worship. Blessings, glory and honor/ I exalt thee/ Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord/ Worship you in spirit and in truth/ Worthy is the Lamb/ Revelation Song/ You are worthy Lord/ Hallelujah/ Be glorified/ I adore You/ Lord, I lift your name on high/ He Reigns/ El Shaddai/ Shout to Lord/ Agnus Dei/ Everlasting God, etc. etc.

This subject has plagued my mind for a long time! However, in the past few years, I have been gaining perspective of God

Christians should be blameless and spotless before our God, through whose blood we have been made His righteousness. We should be a people who are true to the Lord and who will follow Jesus- spiritually faithful, heart focused and undivided totally to our Father God in every aspect of our lives. A people of truth who stray from sin and unrighteousness and hate every form of it. When we cleanse ourselves from all sins and impurities we become part of the 144,000! We become overcomers of this world and satan, and enjoy the unfathomable joy of being in the presence of GOD Almighty- singing new songs to the Lord (the fact is, only a true follower of Christ will understand and be able to sing such a wondrous song, for they will sing it with all their heart, might and soul).

The Anti Christ and False Prophet get their power from satan, they join forces to replicate the Holy Trinity but fall far from it. However, God allows them to wreak havoc in the world for a limited time only! They may seem powerful: eradicating their enemies, performing many signs and wonders, centering worship around the Beast, even deceiving the nations but their powers are limited and constrained by God. The One who restrains them is still at work in the world drawing the lost into the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. And once He is removed, these agents of satan will have their way with the unrighteous and perishing for they are the only ones who will believe the lies of deception (even the most elect will be deceived)!!!

The battle between good and evil started before our knowledge of time. Throughout the ages of time, God has shown His providential care, love and protection to His children even though persecution, destruction and decimation. In Job

The two faithful witnesses are given power by God to prophecy and stand strong in the delivery of their testimony of Jesus Christ. We must stand unwavering in our solid foundation of faith and belief in Jesus Christ, ever ready to give witness for our faith and our Lord. The wearing of sackcloth refers to their commitment, obedience, humility and service to the Lord. If anyone tries to harm them, their enemies will be destroyed by fire that proceeds from their mouth. They have power to stop rain from falling from heaven in the days of their prophecy, turning waters to blood, and striking the earth with all plagues, as often as they desire. God protects His own and has given the witnesses the power to destroy their enemies as well as performs signs and wonders! What this says to me is that God is all powerful, all knowing and ever present and He gives us the power to proclaim His Word to the nations. Therefore, we must not be afraid- just obedient and ever ready to do His will! Even though the beast kills these two witnesses, after three days their bodies are resurrected to life and ascend to God in heaven while their enemies stand around watching them ascend into majestic glory! Their reward for faithfully witnessing and standing strong on the testimony of Jesus Christ is eternal life with God! Praise God!

Bitter- plagues, destruction, the wrath of God poured out, judgment of the unrepentant. Sweet-promises of those who have come out of the tribulation and protection from the great judgment. God will wipe away all our tears and we will dwell in His presence forever! We tend to reject what doesn

They are a plethora of people from every tribe, tongue and nation of the earth. They are the ones who came out of the great tribulation and are cleansed by having their robes washed in the blood of the Lamb. Their spirits cause them to cry out loudly with praise and thanksgiving to God Almighty in continual worship of Him. Amazing grace! How sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me! I once was lost, but now am found; Was blind, but now I see. Interestingly, the redeemed cry out loudly in one accord,

God is orchestrating all the events that are and will transpire until the closing of this age. He holds off on pouring out His judgment until He seals and protects His people from the impending judgment. He loves His people dearly and protects us from the enemy. You are either sealed with the mark of God or the mark of the beast. The seal protects from judgment/wrath of God. The seal symbolizes protection and ownership of His saints.

The church has remained faithful to their testimony, witness and faith in Christ as many have been martyred for their faith in Christ. The souls are in heaven below the altar, in the presence of God. Their proximity to the altar signifies their lives that were poured out as an offering and sacrifice to God, which was very pleasing to Him. They didn

The Lamb initiates the opening of the seven seals. It is directed against the unbelievers and unjust. All those who do not have willfully chosen to reject God and His gift to the world in Christ Jesus. GOD is GOD! A fact we all humans must come to terms with, while we are right sometimes and wrong most times, God is and will always be right and just ALL THE TIME! It is hard to believe the destruction and chaos this world will be plunged into when these judgments are placed but the fact is God is a just God. HE is true to His nature; He is loving and compassionate yet jealous and just! He cannot and will not allow sin to continue reigning and spreading. After all, He is the exact opposite of sin!! He has been merciful and gracious throughout the course of the world, even giving His only Son Jesus Christ to die so that we may obtain eternal life. It seems only fitting that He puts a complete end to sin and everything (everyone) unjust. How great a gift we have been bestowed upon by the Creator of the heavens and the earth! Thank You, Lord

The significance of the same quality of worship being offered both to God the Father and Jesus Christ is that they are both ONE. They represent part of the Trinity along with the Holy Spirit, and therefore, They are worthy of all the praise and glory! They are the same personhood with different and complementary roles fulfilling the same purpose ; the Father seated on the throne, created all things and by His will all things exist and were created. Whereas, Jesus was slain, redeeming lost mankind to God now seated at the right hand of the Father and fulfilling the Father

Through Jesus
