Perfectly Imperfect Together

In Revelation 21, the New Jerusalem is revealed and it is utterly glorious - greater and more magnificent than we can humanly comprehend. If you repent from sin and turn to Jesus as Lord and Savior, humbly surrendering all to Him, you are the victor who will inherit these things for all eternity. You will reign victoriously in heaven forever with Jesus and drink from His springs of life forever. Y...

In Revelation 20, we learn about the coming Millennial Reign of Jesus on the earth. After the Millennial Period, before God ushers in His New Heavens and New Earth, He will deal with sin once and for all at the Great White Throne. If you choose to repent and surrender your life to Jesus, heart and soul, this judgment does not include you. You are held safe and covered by the atoning Blood of Jesus...

In Revelation 19, we learn that Jesus doesn't just want us to "get to heaven," He wants us to be present and experience His presence. He wants a real and personal relationship with us. He shed His Blood out of passionate love for us and He's not returning for a Bride who shows up once a week to hold doors and play dress-up. He's returning for a Bride who is head over heels in...

(Genesis 4) God sent Jesus to die on the cross for our sins, and He rose from that grave so we could be restored and made right with God again. However, we aren't restored unless we honestly confess and sincerely surrender to Jesus. We all blow it, but we need to be honest about it. Jesus has us covered, He has forgiven us, but if we don't repent and confess our sins, we can't receive...

Revelation 18 reveals the fall of Babylon. We need to choose every day to stand firm in faith in Jesus. We don't belong in Babylon and we will never fit in with Babylon. We are to be a witness for God's glory by remaining wholeheartedly and completely faithful to Him. God cares for us. He loves us more than we can humanly comprehend, while Satan wants to deceive us, use us, and abuse us. W...

In Revelation 17, the Babylonian system collapses on itself. Babylon is a force and a mindset against God and His Holy City - against God's eternity. God will judge Satan and his evil forces. Jesus, the Savior of the world, reigns victorious over all kingdoms. Jesus brings purpose and sovereignty, and works all things together for His good and for those who are faithful to Him. Do not fear in...

(Genesis 3) When we sin, our natural response is to try to hide. However, God wants us to bring it to His light, to repent, confess, and fess up. We don't try to clean up before stepping into the Light of Jesus. We confess and repent. The moment we do, His Light covers us. His Light cleanses us. His Light redeems and restores us.

In Revelation 16, it is evident that God does not provide us a way out of judgment, He provides a way into Him. There is refuge in Jesus. If we choose to repent and surrender all to Him, His will, and His authority, there will be no judgment for us. He's already taken the judgment to come for us. His goodness and mercies will be with us all the days of our lives if we are willing to surrender...

In Revelation 15, there is another pause, a pause of worship throughout the heavens. A song of victory and deliverance is sung in adoration and worship of the Lamb of God, Jesus. If we choose to stand firm in unwavering, unshakable, even if, no matter what radical faith in Jesus, we have nothing to worry about or fear on this earth. God refines His people for something better that is coming. Follo...

In Revelation 14, we see judgment is coming. We are living in the season of grace, the season of salvation. Now is the time to choose to repent from sin and surrender all to Jesus. If we intentionally choose every single day to persevere for Jesus and endure faithfully for Him, we will be blessed. It will be worth it in the end - for all eternity. Endure, be faithful, and be wise. Grace is central...

In Revelation 13, we are reminded that the enemy may have his mark, but praise God, we have ours. We are marked as children of the Most High God by the Holy Spirit within us. It is not visible physically on our skin, but it is seen in the physical marks on Jesus from His crucifixion. We know where we are headed and we can choose to stand firm in "no matter what" radical faith. Our hope l...

(Genesis 1:26-2:25) Jesus gave us His exhale. He breathed His life into us. We are God's creation and He is the only One who is allowed to define us, not the world around us. Only God gets that honor. God created us to trust Him and bear His image throughout the earth. We are given the responsibility to steward His creation for His glory, to spread and multiply His glory to the ends of the ear...

In Revelation 12, a pregnant woman giving birth is revealed. This woman represents Israel. Since the very beginning Satan has opposed God's will and God's plans and he doesn't take vacations. God wants His Kingdom full, but Satan's goal is to make it empty. We need to intentionally determine that no matter what comes, we will stand faithfully firm in Jesus and cling to Him with all...

In Revelation 11, the 7th trumpet is about to be blown and God's wrath is about to be poured to the earth against sin and evil. No matter what comes, this is all temporary and God's eternal Kingdom is forever. We need to intentionally pursue Jesus with all our guts and surrender all to Him. Any suffering or persecution in this temporary world will be forgotten in the glory of God's pre...

In Revelation 10, there is another pause. We are in the day of salvation right now - the 1st pause. However, the time will come when the mystery of the Gospel and of Jesus will be fully revealed. The time is coming when the wait is over, and the plan is complete. Before the wrath of God pours out, there's another pause. Another call for repentance. A call to choose to surrender to Jesus and Hi...

In Revelation 9, God releases His restraint of evil on this earth and His judgment falls. With God's judgment, however, always comes God's mercies. We all have the option to repent from sin and choose Jesus. Our choice here and now determines our eternity. Terrors will come, pain will come, and it will be more and more miserable on earth for a season. We need to share the saving mercies av...

(Genesis 1:1-25) All that was not yet started overcame to become through the power of God and His Word, Jesus. Just one Word from God will do. His Word has all power and all authority. Everything has a beginning, except God - He has always been. He is the beginning of everything and everything in our lives should, therefore, begin with and be centered around God.

In Revelation 8, silence falls and the 7th seal is opened. Following the opening of the 7th seal, the 1st four trumpets are released. Judgment against sin and wickedness begins to fall on the earth. However, with God's judgment comes His mercies. In every judgment, there is merciful restraint because God's biggest desire is that all would repent and surrender to Him for Life for all eterni...

In Revelation 7, there is a pause to zoom in on the faithful remnant who stand firm in Jesus and are spiritually secure. Even when all hell breaks out on earth, there is a faithful remnant who holds firm to Jesus and says, "I'm all in - no matter what." Being a part of the faithful remnant means you are un-shook by anything this temporary earth may bring. This is temporary, but God&#...

In Revelation 6, the Lamb of God opens 6 of the 7 seals. The Lamb of God is worthy to open the seals. No matter what may come, we can trust Jesus. This is all temporary and eternity is coming. We are declared righteous in Jesus before the Throne of God by faith in Him. Through our faith, we are justified and have peace with God. We can rejoice in the hope of glory, no matter what life on this eart...

In Revelation 5, all of heaven's praise came because the Lamb of God took the scroll from the Father's hand. God's great eternal plan will be fulfilled and all of creation will be freed from the bondage of sin and death. It's the Lamb who breaks the seals and puts into motion the events that lead to His return to earth and establishment of His Kingdom on earth. Jesus is worthy of a...

(Revelation 21 & 22) Jesus is the Light of life. He created all life in the beginning and He is the Light of all life now and will be in the end as well. We can't keep the ways of God, who is perfectly holy and marvelous, on our own. Self-righteousness says God gave His law, and I'm good at keeping it. It's the ugliness of thinking we can do life on our own If you choose to repent...

In Revelation 4, we are shown a glimpse into the heavenly Throne of God. God is the Author and Creator of all and the only One who deserves all glory, and honor, and power. We worship God because He truly is worthy of it all. This life is not about you or me on this earth. It's about the Lord and His Kingdom and pointing as many as we can to His incredible love and grace. Day and night, our pr...

In Revelation 3, we see that the need for revival in churches is not a new problem. Our lives are to be about THE Name, not our own names or anyone else's. We are to make everything about the Name of Jesus for His great glory. We are called to repent from our "selves" and return to Jesus as our 1st love. We are encouraged to wake up. Jesus is knocking at the doors of our hearts and o...

The Book of Revelation magnifies the greatness and glory of Jesus and is the Book of His Throne. It is meant to encourage us in spite of anything and everything going on around us. We are to look up at His Majesty and walk in His victory and share His saving mercy, grace, and kindness with everyone around us while we await His return. When you have assurance of the future, you have stability in th...
