(a chapter from my book, Authority To Proceed: With Righteousness)
[Isaiah 22:22 NLT, Revelation 3:7 NLT]
Jesus has the key of David – the highest position in the royal court. What He opens, no one can close; and what He closes, no one can open.
… To everyone who is victorious I will give fruit from the tree of life in the paradise of God. [Revelation 2:1-7 NLT]
… if you remain faithful even when facing death, I will give you the crown of life. … Whoever is victorious will not be harmed by the second death. [Revelation 2:8-11 NLT]
… Anyone with ears to hear must listen to the Spirit and understand what he is saying to the churches. To everyone who is victorious I will give some of the manna that has been hidden away in heaven. And I will give to each one a white stone, and on the stone will be engraved a new name that no one understands except the one who receives it. [Revelation 2:12-17 NLT]
… To all who are victorious, who obey me to the very end, To them I will give authority over all the nations. They will rule the nations with an iron rod and smash them like clay pots. They will have the same authority I received from my Father, and I will also give them the morning star! Anyone with ears to hear must listen to the Spirit and understand what he is saying to the churches. [Revelation 2:18-29 NLT]
… All who are victorious will be clothed in white. I will never erase their names from the Book of Life, but I will announce before my Father and his angels that they are mine. Anyone with ears to hear must listen to the Spirit and understand what he is saying to the churches. [Revelation 3:1-6 NLT]
… Because you have obeyed my command to persevere, I will protect you from the great time of testing that will come upon the whole world to test those who belong to this world. I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take away your crown. All who are victorious will become pillars in the Temple of my God, and they will never have to leave it. And I will write on them the name of my God, and they will be citizens in the city of my God—the new Jerusalem that comes down from heaven from my God. And I will also write on them my new name. Anyone with ears to hear must listen to the Spirit and understand what he is saying to the churches. [Revelation 3:7-13 NLT]
… Look! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal together as friends. Those who are victorious will sit with me on my throne, just as I was victorious and sat with my Father on his throne. Anyone with ears to hear must listen to the Spirit and understand what he is saying to the churches. [Revelation 3:14-22 NLT]
Let the one who is doing harm continue to do harm; let the one who is vile continue to be vile; let the one who is righteous continue to live righteously; let the one who is holy continue to be holy. [Revelation 22:11 NLT]
Read the whole Book of Revelation. It will bless you.
In the Mighty Name of Jesus, Amen.
Thank You, LORD GOD, in the Mighty Name of Jesus.
