Come Lord Jesus

This is the prayer at the end of the Bible. It is the last prayer in the whole Bible. It is the second to the last verse of the Bible. It is the last prayer and almost the last verse in the book of Revelation. It is the finale, the last prayer made by God in the Bible. The final prayer “Come Lord Jesus”. What a conclusion to invite the Lord Lesus into everything in our life. Not just for Him to come again, as He will one day in His second coming, but to actually let Him be Lord in our lives. So let Him come in and bring our lives back to what He wants to do in us and through us.

God is real, a living person, the creator of the universe, the designer of the atom and DNA. He designed every solar system and every living thing on the earth. So He has plans for our life and what we do. So just pray this final prayer in the Bible from Revelation 22:2o  “Come Lord Jesus”

Revelation 22:20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. 21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

His Love

“The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing.”  Zephaniah 3:17

Don’t think that God is not for you. He created you with a purpose. So you have purpose. That fact should get us going every day. But He loves us.  I am trying to think of any religion where God is a lover. I think only in Judaism and Christianity is the phrase used “God loves us”. So rejoice in the fact that God is a God of love. So receive His love by believing in Jesus.

Asking as a Partner

In John 15:7 it says:   If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatsoever ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

Asking is almost demanding, but we do not demand in tones of arrogance, but as a partner.  If there is an issue we lay the case before the Lord, and let Him deal with it.

What is Prayer

Prayer is joining forces with God. Prayer is fellowship with God in carrying our His will on the earth. Remember what Jesus taught us to pray “Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven”. There is no issue with God’s will in heaven, just on the earth.

The Deer Desires and Longs

Two Deer Below Tree – only God satisfies

Psalm 42:1-2 As the deer panteth after the water-brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God. 2 My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?  Wow, in this verse the deer is a picture of people longing and desiring something that’s really satisfies. The only thing that truly satisfies is God and His presence.

In John 4 we have a women asking Jesus about worship.  Jesus talks about Himself being the living water that really satisfies.  The only thing that truly satisfies is God and His presence.

The apostles let go of kitchen duty; this is called delegation.  Apostles let go of kitchen and assigned it to seven men to manage so they could focus on the word and ministry.  Acts 6:1 Now in these days, when the number of the disciples was multiplying, there arose a murmuring of the Grecian Jews against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration. 2 And the twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto them, and said, It is not fit that we should forsake the word of God, and serve tables. 3 Look ye out therefore, brethren, from among you seven men of good report, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business. 4 But we will continue stedfastly in prayer, and in the ministry of the word.
