Daily Devotions:
by Christina Farris

Revelation 19:9-16 KJV
9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.
10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

I like to share that though I write everyday, it only a portion of my waking hours. It not like I spend eight hours behind desk. There are times i do more studying on a particular subject then another but in general that not the case. Most of these messages are subject based meaning one take the word of God and study either a subject, a key word or one book of Scripture at a time. If I only use one subject, word, or book, anything writen from my heart comes out pretty quickly with the help of God's Spirit. It is my goaled to take every scripture and mediate on it at the heart. I am human and not perfect, accept through the blood of Jesus like all believers, meaning my sins our washed away and I am white as snow only by God's grace of his gift of his Son, who went to the cross for yours and my sin. I am still human. I still have to ask like everyone else for Christ to forgive me of my sins and ask him to come into my heart and to teach me how to live. When I look at scripture and even write I have to learn too, it is always a learn curve to writing, teaching, preaching, or anything we do for the Lord. A learning curve with no end. John in Revelation is continue to learn not to bow to angels, there are other times he bows to the angel that speaks to him, perhaps because Christ speaks to him in chapter one, telling him he is the first and the last.

It matters not how well written a message is or not written it never should replace the word of God. This angel claim to be a fellow brother that has the testimony of Jesus. He says to worship God, because of the testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of prophesy. There is time God speaks truth to the heart and it will save you from danger, or move you to victory. There is time the word of God speaks to the heart to explain scripture and to teach one the meaning of it. To teach the action of the Spirit that going forth by the word of God. It easy to be a hearer of God's word but not part of the action or spirit behind the word, going forth in action, taking root and becoming a doer of the word of God.

Sitting on a horse in the next scene of this passage we see Jesus who is faithful and true sitting on a horse, he judges to make war. His name being the Word of God. His army in heaven followed him and sword came out of his mouth to smite the nations. He will rule with rod of iron and he tread the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. His name on his thigh was King Of KIngs and Lord Of Lords. This Jesus is returning with a fierceness to destroy by the very word of God that will take flight by His Spirit to crush those in sin.

Yet right now He is the word we ready and study daily, that word that can lay as if idle in our hearts or we can put action behind the words in obedience to Christ as the army that we will one day be following him on his white horse. If you worship Jesus you do worship God. There those that have the testimony of Jesus worship God. We must define that reality of bowing in worship of King Jesus. Why if Jesus is both the Spirit of prophesy, and Word of God. Jesus is that part that came not only flesh as action to obedience to God's word, but was the word as well. We Christ in obedience even unto death and into resurrected life. We see Christ obey God's word through the horror of the cross, and then joy of the resurrection. The word being Jesus, but also the spirit of Jesus into action. To have Jesus with no action only is having a picture of Jesus hanging in our heart on the cross with no action to move in obedience to God's will for our own life, even unto death. We see not a loving Jesus but one ready to make war on the world.

This Jesus of judgment is one that will judge the world, the sinners the ones that never came to belief in God's word. To fear God and His Son. Many of us fear not God today or his word. How I know because of the sin in our world that destroys other human life, and lives of the innocent. I been watching several things take place in our nation, a nation of laws, but also laws that are sometimes inhumane as the bills that cross our President's desk. It matter not who was president in regards of any bill, we have to look an ask is the american interest being taken care of. We look to God and no his best interest is the Human race and his word does not come to his desk in regards of creation, but begins with in him, to creat laws to govern the Universe to see that it moving in one direction despite what man tries to do with God's laws. I was watching on the news a man that had some type of canon that was disturbing neighbors far and near. The canon was built to control the weather. The sonic burst would cause a shift in the air currents or something like that. Anyway, I had to smile and say what does his neighbors now think when they heard the news story, as the next shock wave of sonic blast hit the air.

Then I ask myself if God's word was like a sonic blast to our hearts would we change our course of action or would it remain as it stands. Sometimes it takes a sharp two edge sword of God's Spirit to cut away the extra stuff that has no part of God will in it for us to realize what we are doing is wrong. It takes God's word to get to the very core of our hearts, to where we say we will do it God's way despite what the world does. We have to come to terms that we want it God's way, despite our human cost of doing it God's way. His instruction coming straight from Him, in the prophetic word by His Spirit to us. Then we have to choose to listen and obey, or we find ourselves not living for God but living for his enemies and the world.

I using this end time event as allegory or a teaching tool to our current condition of our heart. How Christ will destroy enemy by who he is as being Faithful and Truth, but also the word of God, and the Spirit of prophecy. His word change the human heart. The reality of what will come is yet defined beyond a vision to John, but the allegory of that vision to what it means right now to the human soul is far greater, for as human for redeemption we must worship God and his Word to obey him and to follow his will in our life. Belief is not just saying Lord I believe and do nothing, but become part of the action as far as living in our daily life. The Presidents words and constitution has lines for rebellion and protest with in it, meaning a right way to disagree with our government by speaking out, legal protesting and so forth. We have no recourse when it comes to obey God's will, but God sometimes intervenes in our obedience like he did Abraham when he went to sacrifice his Son Isaac. Jonah rebelled against God's word and landed up in the belly of a fish, only to land up going in the direction he was sent in to preach. Choose not God's way and there will be trouble to come, and that when the judgment on the world will finally come, but God's people will be with him and behind him in the sky, in obedience to the will of God's judgment on the world. Harsh reality.

Dear Heavenly Father, help us to be not only hears of your Word but doers of your world in our life, that only the final judgment call we be with your Son, because we followed your will by your Spirit and the prophetic word being in our life. In Jesus precious name, Amen.

Continual Scripture Study: James 1:17-25 KJV
17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
18 Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
20 For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
