Revelation 6:1-17

What God said to me – When life is difficult and you think the adversity you are experiencing will never end, know that “I AM” in control and I have a plan that “I AM” carrying out.  Don’t look to the world for you will be overwhelmed with the sense that evil is triumphing and the faithful are struggling.  You must always look to Me – watch Me – for “I AM” at work.  As you watch this play unfolding on the stage of the earth, you only see what is happening on the stage now.  What you must realize is that I both wrote the script and I direct the play.  Not only do I know what is coming, but I know when it is coming.  “I AM” in control.  Trust me.

Revelation 4:1-5:14

What God said to me – Come up here and I will show you – that’s always the way it is.  You must come to Me with your questions and your doubts.  I will reveal Myself to you.  Walk with Me and you will see My glory – a bit here and a bit there.  You will see glimpses of Me and My hand at work as we walk together until one day you will see Me face to face in all of My glory.  Live for that day.  Long for that day.  Walk with Me like that day is today.  That is how you walk in a manner that pleases Me.  Walk through each day craning to see My glory along the way.  When you’re actively seeking My glory, you will see it more and more.

Revelation 2:1-3:22

What God said to me – I know your deeds.  I know where you live.  I know who you are, not just by reputation, but in reality.  I know your faults as well as your positive characteristics.  I know the good and the bad and I still love you.  There is nothing hidden from Me.  I see all and know all so quit pretending.  It’s as you come to Me openly and honestly that change can begin.  When you come to Me this way, with this heart, I can begin to transform you and teach you how to overcome rather than succumb.  Come now and let me begin this process in you so that you might know the blessing and receive the promises I have made to those who overcome.
