“Behold, I am coming soon, and My reward is with Me, to give to each one according to what he has done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.” Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they may have the right to the tree of life and may enter the city by its gates. – Revelation 22:12-14 BSB
Warrior;
There it is! The Good News! HE IS COMING SOON, and His reward is with Him!! The Time is Now to figure out what you want! The secret to motivation is to figure out what you want. Once we can figure out what someone wants, that is the key to moving them in a better direction. Do you want this world, or do you want HIS KINGDOM? Do you want to be an influencer on social media, or do you want to be an activator of God’s Word in the hearts and minds of His children, His Warriors, His Church? Are you a friend of God, or a foe? Are you a child of the world, or a brother of the WORD? Who’s your Daddy? Is Abba Yahweh your father, or is the accuser of the breathren your daddy? It was Jesus Himself that said, You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies. (John 8:44) The wise Chaldeans wanted to see GOD, so they followed a star to the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. Abraham wanted to be with God, to find the city of GOD! What do you want so bad that you are willing to be uncomfortable on this planet? What do you want so bad, that you are willing to seek ye first this thing…and all other things are all other things?
Leader, hear the Word of the Lord; By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a place that he was to receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going. By faith he went to live in the land of promise, as in a foreign land, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, heirs with him of the same promise. For he was looking forward to the city that has foundations, whose designer and builder is God. (Hebrews 11:8-10) Revelation 22 is the conclusion of the Bible, it is the conclusion of what began in Genesis 3. It is written: 12And the man answered, “The woman whom You gave me, she gave me fruit from the tree, and I ate it.” Then the LORD God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?” “The serpent deceived me,” she replied, “and I ate.” (Genesis 3:12-13) Once we chose our separate will over the Father’s will, we were kicked out of the garden and the curse of sin was now part of our human DNA. It is written; And the LORD God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife, and He clothed them. Then the LORD God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of Us, knowing good and evil. And now, lest he reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life, and eat, and live forever…” Therefore the LORD God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken. So He drove out the man and stationed cherubim on the east side of the Garden of Eden, along with a whirling sword of flame to guard the way to the tree of life. (Genesis 3:21-24) God is bringing us full circle. God out of divine Love and DIVINE GRACE had to remove us from the presence of the Tree of Life, until…! If they had eaten from the tree of life with SIN , it would have been undesirable!!! The prevention of access to the tree is an act of divine grace, ensuring that redemption and restoration would come through God’s plan, ultimately fulfilled in Jesus Christ. This is the CONCLUSION OF IT ALL!!
Conduit, God tells us that the things we WANT the most, the desire of our heart is OUR TREASURE. Hear the Word of the Lord; “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. (Matthew 6:19-21) God started with an EDENIC VISION. God’s dwelling place in the Garden was with his Sons of God, his angelic creation, and His Sons of Man, his fleshly creatures. It was where he dwelt, it was the place of His Divine Council, it is the place he tabernacled with His creation. God is going full circle; We are going back to the Garden, back to the Tree of LIFE, back to walking, serving and supping with God in His dwelling place!! This is the glory of the Revelation of Jesus Christ, in the book with the same name! This is why this book has a promise and a curse! Hear the Word of the Lord; I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book, and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book. (Revelation 22:18-19) Isn’t that what the ‘Shiny One’, the devil, did to Eve in Genesis 3? Now the serpent was more crafty than any beast of the field that the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden?’” The woman answered the serpent, “We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden, but about the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden, God has said, ‘You must not eat of it or touch it, or you will die.’” “You will not surely die,” the serpent told the woman. “For God knows that in the day you eat of it, your eyes will be opened and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” (Genesis 3:1-5) Here the serpent changed the meaning of what God said, and was accursed. So many prideful pastors, and Bible enthusiasts want to tell others that “their knowledge’ of God’s intent is way more than yours, and their pride causes others to repel, and no longer vocalize about the Bible or study. BEWARE, for God hates man’s pride, and God thinks the wisdom of this world is foolish. Hear the Word of the Lord; “But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. He chose the lowly and despised things of the world, and the things that are not, to nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast in His presence.” (1 Corinthians 1:27-29) BE EXCITED, BE in the WORD, BE READY for our redemption is near! Immediately after the tribulation of those days: ‘The sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.’ 30 At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and all the tribes of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory.
