PJP2 PROLOG POST 151227 - Revelation 3:7,11-13 (ESV)/(emphasis added/jaj)....“And to The Angel of the church in Philadelphia Write: ‘The Words of The Holy One, The True One, Who Has The Key of David, Who Opens (The Door) And no one Will Shut, Who Shuts (The Door) And no one Opens.....

....I Am Coming Soon.

Hold Fast What you Have, So that no one May seize your Crown.  The one who conquers, I Will Make him A Pillar In The Temple of My God.  Never Shall he Go Out Of It, And I Will Write On him The Name of My God, And The Name of the City of My God, The New Jerusalem, Which Comes Down From My God out of heaven, And My Own New Name.  He who has an Ear, Let him Hear What The Spirit Says to the churches.’"....

One of the Phrases of The Word that has ever stuck with me is what we see at the end of Revelation 3:13...."He who has an Ear, Let him Hear"....The Holy Spirit got me to pondering on this - how often do we 'hear' something, yet don't really Hear it?  I know I'm guilty of that - as I age, I know I must mentally focus myself to pay closer attention to the sounds around me, especially to those who are talking with me.  How easy it becomes to be distracted by our electronics, or any variety of 'things' that can pull us from listening to one another, BUT even more importantly from Hearing The Holy Spirit as He Offers up Guidance, Encouragement, Empowerment, Love and Grace from God The Father.

A second Thought The Holy Spirit placed in my noggin' today was that of the Impact of Revelation.  I know early on in my Walk With The Lord Jesus, my impression of Revelation was that (a) Too Hard to Understand; (b) Too Weird; (c) Relevance?; (d) God The Father would Lead me to His Word in Revelation When He Knew I was better able to be there.  Well I must admit my earlier attitude towards Revelation has CHANGED dramatically.  Thanks To The Holy Spirit, over the last several years, Crossing my path with Teachers, Preachers and Fellow Family of The Faith who The Lord has already Helped them with His Revelation.  Now, though there are still many parts of Revelation that I am pretty much clueless as to exactly What The Lord is Telling us - I have come to Enjoy Reading Revelation, much moreso than I ever did before.  In fact The Holy Spirit brought to mind 2 Corinthians 2:14-16 (ESV)/(emphasis added/jaj), as an 'overlay' of my Attitude towards studying His Revelation POWs now....."BUT Thanks Be to God, Who In Christ Always Leads us In Triumphal Procession, And Through us Spreads The Fragrance of The Knowledge of Him Everywhere.  For we Are The Aroma of Christ to God Among those who Are Being Saved And among those who are perishing....To one a Fragrance from death to death, To the other A Fragrance From Life To Life.  Who Is Sufficient For These Things?"....Revelation 3:13.....He who has an Ear, Let him Hear What The Spirit Says to the churches.’"....


For our PJP2 PROLOG POST PRAYER 151227 for us today, permit me to apply a Paraphrase of Prayer and Praise based on Revlation 1:4-6; 3:7,11-13......May God The Father's Grace be Upon you and your.  May Peace Come From Him Who Is And Who Was And Who Is To Come Be With you.  May His Holy Spirit, Who Is, as well as From God The Father's Seven Spirits Who Are Before His Throne Fill us With His Presence.  And last But Indeed not least, From our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, The Faithful Witness, The Firstborn of the dead, And The Ruler of kings on earth, May His Love and Light Surround you and your in All your ways.  Join me as we Worship and Praise Him by Saying, "To Him Who Loves us And Has Freed us from our sins By His Blood And Made us A Kingdom, priests to His God And Father, To Him Be Glory And Dominion Forever And Ever. Amen."....Lord Jesus Help us to Read and Indeed Heed Your Word as You Shared with John as he writes - “And to The Angel of the church in Philadelphia Write: ‘The Words of The Holy One, The True One, Who Has The Key of David, Who Opens (The Door) And no one Will Shut, Who Shuts (The Door) And no one Opens".....May we Grasp that You Have Opened Heaven's Door for us to Come Through to You.  Father God, May we Ever Be Prepared to Welcome You as You Once More Send Your Son, our Lord Jesus to Complete The End of Time.  Holy Spirit, Help us to Ever Be Prepared as we Hear our Lord and King Jesus Say, "I Am Coming Soon!".....Lord Jesus Strengthen and Encourage us to Hold Fast What You Have Graced us with, That is Eternal Life in You.  Father God, Continue to Empower us So that no one May seize The Crown of Grace You have Saved for us.  Holy Spirit, Help us Ever to Put On The Full Armor of God.  Lord Jesus, Guide us to Follow in Your Steps and to Be Able to conquer our tendency to fall back into sin and selfishness.  Father God we Long for Your Day and Know You Will Make us Pillars In Your Temple.  Lord Jesus we Look Forward to Your Second Advent and we Know Once You Return we Shall Never Go Out from You again.  Holy Spirit, Come and Write Upon our Hearts The Name Saved for us as Your children.  Lord Jesus, Come and Write Upon our Souls The Name of the City of God, The New Jerusalem, Which Comes Down From You, our Lord and Savior, out of heaven.  Father God, Write Upon us Your Son's Own New Name that we May Reflect and Witness That We Are His and His Alone.  Lord Jesus, Let us Be of those who has an Ear, Let us Hear What The Spirit Says.  In Your Precious and Holy Name we Ask All These Prayers....Amen/Amen....jaj
