Revelation 12:11 ” They overcome him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony.”
Sin and death were atoned for…once, for all, by the blood of the Lamb – Jesus. In doing so, we are set free…as prisoners freed of their shackles…unchained from what has bound us so long. And in this wonderful transformation, we gain our testimony…that internal and external evidence and confirmation of God’s miraculous power in us.
Revelation 7:17 ” For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their Shepherd; He will lead them to springs of living water, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”
Jesus, the Good Shepherd, will guide, guard, and lead His flock to life-giving water they need…He will lead them to eternal life. And in this beautiful place, sorrow and pain will have to flee…in this peaceful surrounding, the sound of weeping and crying will be heard no more.
Revelation 5:8 ” Each one had a harp and they were holding golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.”
Sometimes, we all feel like our prayers go up as far as the ceiling and then stop there…stuck…never to reach God. But this verse shows quite the opposite. All prayers of the saints are gathered in golden bowls, and burned as a sweet-smelling fragrance before God. And as the perfumed smoke fills His nostrils, God breathes in deeply and recognizes each prayer, utterance, and plea, from every saint who has reached out to Him.
