Revival
This is my prayer every day.
We were called and chosen to take the Word of God to the lost and to warn them of His return. The years are flying by and D Day is approaching; our souls are in agony for those who don't yet know Him.

Perseverance
Jesus reveals to the Apostle John that He holds His servants in His Hands: pastors that are at His disposal in the preaching of His Word. He says that He walks among the seven gold candlesticks - a symbol of the seven types of people that serve Him; people that were bought with His blood and are therefore priceless in value before Him. At the end, He praises those who persevere and don't give up, even in the face of difficulty.
We honour a just God, Who appreciates faithful children that persevere.

God's Dwelling Place
The verse above is the answer to those who are tired of asking God for something that they haven't received the answer to yet. If He dwells with the contrite, then that means that He is by your side - right there with you, who are in pain. The Lord Jesus Himself assures us that: "...whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours." Mark 11:24
The secret is to believe that you have already received what you have asked for in prayer.

Blood
It happened at the first Passover celebrated by the Hebrew people in Egypt. At the eating of the lamb and the painting of their doorposts with blood, their deliverance from slavery by the hand of God was seen. The Angel of Death passed from house to house - except from the houses of those who were obedient to the Word.
The Lord Jesus came to the world as the Lamb of God. He came to save and to free the captives of the devil. He determined the salvation and freedom for all. Those who accept Him as Lord are covered by His blood, which is able to deliver them from eternal death. Since that sacrifice, those who are enslaved and oppressed by devil will only be free if they have the mark of the Son’s blood imprinted on their hearts. Death is sweeping across the land and leading souls to eternal death; and you friend, do you have the mark of the blood?
"For the Lord will pass through to strike the Egyptians, and when he sees the blood on the lintel and on both doorposts, the LORD will pass over the door and will not allow the destroyer to enter your houses to strike you." Exodus 12:23
NOTE: Do not live by appearance, only looking to please other; look carefully, He said: "on both doorposts," - inside and outside the door - which means that you need to have a heart of God.
