IS YOUR NAME IN THE BOOK?

 

Revelation 21:27

 

"But nothing unclean will ever enter it, nor anyone who does what is detestable or false, but only those who are written in the Lamb's book of life." ESV 

 

The belief system of the world leaves out the reality of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This world philosophy seems to make sense. It is surely comfortable. However, it is total deception. Those who follow it are lost. Those who believe in the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ and walk in it have their names written in the Lamb's book of life.

 

Lord, how we thank You for making the way for us to spend eternity with You. Help us to tell this wonderful Gospel everywhere we go. Prepare the hearts and minds of those we will encounter so that they will receive and believe, having their names written in Your book. In Your precious name we pray, Amen.

THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS IF WE OVERCOME?

 

 

Revelation 3:5

 

"The one who conquers will be clothed thus in white garments, and I will never blot his name out of the book of life. I will confess his name before my Father and before his angels." ESV

 

To overcome is to overpower and defeat the enemy. If we endure the struggle with God's help and overcome the inferior power of Satan, we have the promise and reward of eternity in the presence of our Lord and His angels.

 

Heavenly Father, we know we can only be overcomers with Your grace and power. Help us to always look to You and seek to be filled with the Power of Your Holy Spirit so that we will be overcomers in Your Kingdom. We pray in Jesus' name, Amen.

REJOICE IN THIS!

 

Luke 10:20

"However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven." NIV

"Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven." KJV

Once we have repented of our sins and accepted the sacrifice Christ made for us on the cross, it is natural that as newborn creatures in Him that we grow. During this time of growth, there is a danger that we will become enamored and distracted with the power He has given us through His name to take authority over evil forces. We may relish in sharing these experiences of how we were used in situations to make Satan flee. That in itself is not wrong. Where we get amiss is when this becomes our focus of the life of God in us. His Word tells us to not get caught up in the power He gives us, but to get enamored and caught up, rejoicingly, that our name is written in the book of life. That is the joy that is set before us.

Heavenly Father, we ask Your forgiveness when we get sidetracked at the things You do through us and put the real joy of our eternal life with You on the back burner. Help us Lord to always rejoice in that eternal joy as we share the mighty works You are doing through us and in our lives. We ask in Jesus' name, Amen.

OVERCOMING

To overcome is to overpower and defeat the enemy. If we endure the
struggle with God's help and overcome Satan, we are promised the
greatest reward of eternity in the presence of our Lord and His angels.

Read Revelation 3:5

"He who overcomes will, like them, be dressed in white. I will never
blot out his name from the book of life, but will acknowledge his name
before my Father and his angels." (NIV)

"He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will
not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name
before my Father, and before his angels." (KJV)
