10/28 1 Corinthians 15:9-11
9 For I am the least of all the apostles, and I am not worthy to be called an apostle after the way I persecuted the church of God. 10 But whatever I am now, it is all because God poured out his special favor on me — and not without results. For I have worked harder than all the other apostles, yet it was not I but God who was working through me by his grace. 11 So it makes no difference whether I preach or they preach. The important thing is that you believed what we preached to you.
FAVOR
Today you have favor with God. Not based on what you have done or will do but simply by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Christ is the reason we have favor. He gave us life and His promise that He would never leave us. Speak to the Lord. He will hear you. You have favor with God in Christ.

10/27 1 Corinthians 15:1-8
1 Now let me remind you, dear brothers and sisters, of the Good News I preached to you before. You welcomed it then and still do now, for your faith is built on this wonderful message. 2 And it is this Good News that saves you if you firmly believe it — unless, of course, you believed something that was never true in the first place. 3 I passed on to you what was most important and what had also been passed on to me — that Christ died for our sins, just as the Scriptures said. 4 He was buried, and he was raised from the dead on the third day, as the Scriptures said. 5 He was seen by Peter and then by the twelve apostles. 6 After that, he was seen by more than five hundred of his followers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have died by now. 7 Then he was seen by James and later by all the apostles. 8 Last of all, I saw him, too, long after the others, as though I had been born at the wrong time.
SAVIOR
Jesus is our Savior. There is no other way to the Father. Ask Him to forgive you of your sin, surrender your life to Him and Jesus will save you. By faith we believe that Jesus will do exactly what He says He will do and that is to save us forever. Jesus is Lord.
10/26 Revelation 22:10-21
10 Then he instructed me, “Do not seal up the prophetic words you have written, for the time is near. 11 Let the one who is doing wrong continue to do wrong; the one who is vile, continue to be vile; the one who is good, continue to do good; and the one who is holy, continue in holiness.” 12 “See, I am coming soon, and my reward is with me, to repay all according to their deeds. 13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.” 14 Blessed are those who wash their robes so they can enter through the gates of the city and eat the fruit from the tree of life. 15 Outside the city are the dogs — the sorcerers, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idol worshipers, and all who love to live a lie. 16 “I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this message for the churches. I am both the source of David and the heir to his throne. I am the bright morning star.” 17 The Spirit and the bride say, “Come.” Let each one who hears them say, “Come.” Let the thirsty ones come — anyone who wants to. Let them come and drink the water of life without charge. 18 And I solemnly declare to everyone who hears the prophetic words of this book: If anyone adds anything to what is written here, God will add to that person the plagues described in this book. 19 And if anyone removes any of the words of this prophetic book, God will remove that person’s share in the tree of life and in the holy city that are described in this book. 20 He who is the faithful witness to all these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon!” Amen! Come, Lord Jesus! 21 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you all.
SOON
The Lord is coming back soon. It may seem like never to us for we are locked into time. The Lord has His plan worked out and He knows when He is coming back and it is soon. Be ready. Watch and pray. Jesus is coming soon.
10/25 Revelation 22:1-9
1 And the angel showed me a pure river with the water of life, clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb, 2 coursing down the center of the main street. On each side of the river grew a tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, with a fresh crop each month. The leaves were used for medicine to heal the nations. 3 No longer will anything be cursed. For the throne of God and of the Lamb will be there, and his servants will worship him. 4 And they will see his face, and his name will be written on their foreheads. 5 And there will be no night there — no need for lamps or sun — for the Lord God will shine on them. And they will reign forever and ever. 6 Then the angel said to me, “These words are trustworthy and true: ‘The Lord God, who tells his prophets what the future holds, has sent his angel to tell you what will happen soon.'” 7 “Look, I am coming soon! Blessed are those who obey the prophecy written in this scroll.” 8 I, John, am the one who saw and heard all these things. And when I saw and heard these things, I fell down to worship the angel who showed them to me. 9 But again he said, “No, don’t worship me. I am a servant of God, just like you and your brothers the prophets, as well as all who obey what is written in this scroll. Worship God!”
WORSHIP
Jesus is Lord and He is the only ONE. Focus your life on Jesus. Believe in Him, follow Him and He will guide you every day of your life. Learn how to conquer trials and survive in difficulties. Jesus is Lord and He will never let you go. Trust Jesus with you life and He will give you real life.
10/24 Revelation 21:22-27
22 No temple could be seen in the city, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. 23 And the city has no need of sun or moon, for the glory of God illuminates the city, and the Lamb is its light. 24 The nations of the earth will walk in its light, and the rulers of the world will come and bring their glory to it. 25 Its gates never close at the end of day because there is no night. 26 And all the nations will bring their glory and honor into the city. 27 Nothing evil will be allowed to enter — no one who practices shameful idolatry and dishonesty — but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.
NAME
Is your name written in the Lamb’s Book of Life? Do you know how to make sure that it is? Ask Jesus to forgive you of your sin and come into your heart and save. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. Let Him give you life.
10/23 Revelation 21:17-21
17 Then he measured the walls and found them to be 216 feet thick (the angel used a standard human measure). 18 The wall was made of jasper, and the city was pure gold, as clear as glass. 19 The wall of the city was built on foundation stones inlaid with twelve gems: the first was jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald, 20 the fifth onyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, the twelfth amethyst. 21 The twelve gates were made of pearls — each gate from a single pearl! And the main street was pure gold, as clear as glass.
PEARLS
The twelve gates are truly the Gates-Beautiful. Can you imagine anything as perfect looking as a gate made from pearls? Symmetry, surface and reflection are all elements of a beautiful gate that reflect the Lord’s glory. We will see those gates. They are a part of the City of God and will be a part of what we experience there. The Lord God is beautiful.
10/22 Revelation 21:15-16
15 The angel who talked to me held in his hand a gold measuring stick to measure the city, its gates, and its wall. 16 When he measured it, he found it was a square, as wide as it was long. In fact, it was in the form of a cube, for its length and width and height were each 1,400 miles.
MEASURE
Huge is the best description of the city of God. 7,392,000 feet is a lot of feet. The surface measure is 5.464 to the 12th in square feet. Huge! The Lord has prepared a place for us where we will not be overcrowded, overworked, over extended or out of sorts. The City of God is going to be a magnificent place and you will be there.
10/21 Revelation 21:11-14
11 It was filled with the glory of God and sparkled like a precious gem, crystal clear like jasper. 12 Its walls were broad and high, with twelve gates guarded by twelve angels. And the names of the twelve tribes of Israel were written on the gates. 13 There were three gates on each side — east, north, south, and west. 14 The wall of the city had twelve foundation stones, and on them were written the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
GATES
How fabulous are the gates of the New Jerusalem? Can you imagine? Everything surrounding the Father will be spectacular. When we are with Jesus and the Father we will experience beyond what we can even think today. Beautiful gates that will reflect the beauty of the Lord and just like you as you live your life filled with Jesus you will reflect the beauty of the Lord.
10/20 Revelation 21:9-10
9 Then one of the seven angels who held the seven bowls containing the seven last plagues came and said to me, “Come with me! I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.” 10 So he took me in spirit to a great, high mountain, and he showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God.
ONE-DAY
One day every Word of the Lord God will come true. One day seems like it is a long time from us and yet a thousand days are as one day to the Lord. In eternity time is abolished. All the things that we know to be true will indeed come true. The Lord will appear and we will live with Him forever. One day we will see Jesus face to face.
10/19 Revelation 21:8
8 But cowards who turn away from me, and unbelievers, and the corrupt, and murderers, and the immoral, and those who practice witchcraft, and idol worshipers, and all liars — their doom is in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur. This is the second death.”
CHOICE
This sounds harsh and hard but it is simple and true. We can choose to follow the Lord or we can choose to go our own way. The easy way, our way ends in destruction. Listen to Jesus and give your heart to Him and live. Your choice.
