Revelation 18 reveals the fall of Babylon. We need to choose every day to stand firm in faith in Jesus. We don't belong in Babylon and we will never fit in with Babylon. We are to be a witness for God's glory by remaining wholeheartedly and completely faithful to Him. God cares for us. He loves us more than we can humanly comprehend, while Satan wants to deceive us, use us, and abuse us. We need to intentionally choose every day to remain faithful and keep our focus on the eternal. We are citize...

In Revelation 17, the Babylonian system collapses on itself. Babylon is a force and a mindset against God and His Holy City - against God's eternity. God will judge Satan and his evil forces. Jesus, the Savior of the world, reigns victorious over all kingdoms. Jesus brings purpose and sovereignty, and works all things together for His good and for those who are faithful to Him. Do not fear in the face of battles, hardships, suffering, or any of those unknown moments in life. When you dwell in th...

(Genesis 3) When we sin, our natural response is to try to hide. However, God wants us to bring it to His light, to repent, confess, and fess up. We don't try to clean up before stepping into the Light of Jesus. We confess and repent. The moment we do, His Light covers us. His Light cleanses us. His Light redeems and restores us.

In Revelation 16, it is evident that God does not provide us a way out of judgment, He provides a way into Him. There is refuge in Jesus.

His goodness and mercies will be with us all the days of our lives if we are willing to surrender all and abide in Him.

In Revelation 15, there is another pause, a pause of worship throughout the heavens. A song of victory and deliverance is sung in adoration and worship of the Lamb of God, Jesus. If we choose to stand firm in unwavering, unshakable, even if, no matter what radical faith in Jesus, we have nothing to worry about or fear on this earth. God refines His people for something better that is coming. Following Jesus means turning away from everything but Jesus. It's a lifestyle of pursuing Jesus desperat...

In Revelation 13, we are reminded that the enemy may have his mark, but praise God, we have ours. We are marked as children of the Most High God by the Holy Spirit within us.

We know where we are headed and we can choose to stand firm in "no matter what" radical faith. Our hope lies securely in Jesus. An eternity with Jesus is worth it all.

(Genesis 1:26-2:25) Jesus gave us His exhale. He breathed His life into us. We are God's creation and He is the only One who is allowed to define us, not the world around us. Only God gets that honor. God created us to trust Him and bear His image throughout the earth. We are given the responsibility to steward His creation for His glory, to spread and multiply His glory to the ends of the earth.

In Revelation 12, a pregnant woman giving birth is revealed. This woman represents Israel. Since the very beginning Satan has opposed God's will and God's plans and he doesn't take vacations. God wants His Kingdom full, but Satan's goal is to make it empty. We need to intentionally determine that no matter what comes, we will stand faithfully firm in Jesus and cling to Him with all our guts. We need to follow His Voice, His Word, and His lead.

(Genesis 1:1-25) All that was not yet started overcame to become through the power of God and His Word, Jesus. Just one Word from God will do. His Word has all power and all authority. Everything has a beginning, except God - He has always been. He is the beginning of everything and everything in our lives should, therefore, begin with and be centered around God.

(Revelation 21 & 22) Jesus is the Light of life. He created all life in the beginning and He is the Light of all life now and will be in the end as well. We can't keep the ways of God, who is perfectly holy and marvelous, on our own. Self-righteousness says God gave His law, and I'm good at keeping it. It's the ugliness of thinking we can do life on our own If you choose to repent and surrender to the Light of life - Jesus, He will invite us into His Holy of Holies. It will be glorious in Hi...

In Jude, who was a half brother of Jesus, wrote his letter to discuss the basics, like salvation. However, he found it necessary to encourage us to contend for the faith - to remain strong, stand firm, fight on our knees, know the Word of God, and keep the faith. The enemy doesn't care about our families, our health, our marriages, our jobs - he just wants our faith shook and tore away from Jesus. Evil exists in this temporary world, temptations surround us and distraction bombard us. The forces...
