Rev 22:16 - 21, I, Jesus, have sent My angel to
testify to you these things in the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the
Bright and Morning Star.
17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come! And let him who hears say,
Come! And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of
life freely.
18 For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone
adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book;
19 and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take
away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are
written in this book.
20 He who testifies to these things says, Surely I am coming quickly. Amen.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
* "The Spirit and the bride say, 'come!'" - May you be
so one with the Holy Spirit that whatever He says you say, whatever He does you do, and
whatever He desires you desire!
Are you obeying the Great Commission and speak to others about
their souls and invite them to Christ as the Holy Spirit invites them? Are things settled
between you and God so that He can work through you? Has He been able to work through you
during this past year?
If you do not win others to the Lord it is doubtful that you are a
Christian yourself.
If you know the fellowship of the Holy Spirit you will be able to
discern. The Holy Spirit has no fellowship with sin. You cannot claim to have fellowship
with the Holy Spirit or love God while you hold on to grudges against your brother, or
live in sexual promiscuity.
Your fire for God and His Kingdom should also have grown over the
past year, otherwise your salt has lost its saltiness and you are in grave danger.
* "Amen. Even so come Lord Jesus" - These phrases are
not to be used indiscriminately and irreverently.
Jesus' return is imminent. We are alread 2007 years closer to His
second coming.
We should live as if Jesus would return today. It would be
terrible if Jesus should return and find you idle or still busy with your sin. Get right
with God today.
