For The Essence

Of Prophecy

Is To Give A Clear Witness For Jesus

Scripture

Revelation 19

10b … For the essence of prophecy is to give a clear witness for Jesus.”

The Rider on the White Horse

¹¹ Then I saw heaven opened, and a white horse was standing there. Its rider was named Faithful and True, for he judges fairly and wages a righteous war.
 
¹² His eyes were like flames of fire, and on his head were many crowns. A name was written on him that no one understood except himself.
 
¹³ He wore a robe dipped in blood, and his title was the Word of God.
 
¹⁴ The armies of heaven, dressed in the finest of pure white linen, followed him on white horses.
 
¹⁵ From his mouth came a sharp sword to strike down the nations. He will rule them with an iron rod. He will release the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty, like juice flowing from a winepress.
 
¹⁶ On his robe at his thigh was written this title: King of all kings and Lord of all lords.

Observation

The goal of preaching is to give a clear witness for Jesus. Next week I am joining a group of believers on a mission trip to Long Island to be a part of the Sandy Rebuild project. Even though we are going to help rebuild houses that were damaged or destroyed by hurricane Sandy our primary task will be to give a clear witness for Jesus.

My prayer for Pastor Bruce Moore is that tomorrow he gives a clear witness of Jesus and that people would be saved.

It is the essence of who we are! We are Christ followers! We are believers in the Lord Jesus Christ and the whole world needs to hear our message. It is their only hope.

This past Monday Kathy had the opportunity to lead a young man named Sean to faith in Christ. Hopefully he will join us at church tomorrow. When we arrived at Mission Tampa this past Monday before we got out of the car we prayed that God would open the mind and the heart of someone to the Gospel message. God did. Sean said “Yes” to Jesus.

Application

As I take care of my grandchildren today while Kathy goes to my daughter Debby’s baby shower I will try to plant seeds of the Gospel in their young hearts!

Prayer

Heavenly Father, I pray for Pastor Bruce that as he prepares today for tomorrow’s message that You give him just the right words to share. I pray that Your Holy Spirit work through him in a mighty way to bring people to a personal relationship with Jesus. I pray that he is able to give a clear witness for Jesus.
