He Prevails

 

Do not weep
that none were found
for I was sent
to prevail

and all will fall down
before Me with
their harps and bowls
of prayers.

Jesus establishes my prevailing.

“So I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open and read the scroll, or to look at it. But one of the elders said to me, ‘Do not weep. Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the scroll and to loose its seven seals.’ Now when He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.” Revelation 5:4,5,8 NKJV

Breath of Life

“Now when they finish their testimony, the beast that ascends out of the bottomless pit will make war against them, overcome them and kill them.”  Revelation 11:7 NKJV

“Now after the three and a half days, the breath of life from God entered them, and they stood on their feet, and great fear fell on those who saw them.”  Revelation 11:10 NKJV

I’m reminded of the utter shock and devastation the apostles must have felt seeing Jesus nailed to a cross and placed in a tomb.

Thank You, Lord, for breathing life into what appears to have died.  And here’s a simple poem . . .

When it looks
the darkest
and prayer has seemed
to fail

that’s when God says
“Come close to Me
and watch how I
prevail.”

God bless you as He breathes life into what seems hopeless today!

Growing and Prevailing

“So the word of the Lord grew mightily and prevailed.” Acts 19:20

The word of the Lord, being alive, is growing . . .and being true, is overcoming all which is false.

Thank You Lord, for Your mighty prevailing word! And here’s a simple poem . . .

The Growing Word

The word grows mightily
and prevails

a double-edged sword
it’s truth foretells

strength and encouragement
for the weary and weak

the Way and the Life
for all those who seek.
