Morning Scripture Verse – Revelation Chapter 2

Our uplifting encouraging morning Bible verse is from Revelation Chapter 2.

Rev 2:4   Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love. How important to come back to the Lord as our first love. So many other competing things come in life, but we must make the Lord Jesus Christ the number one interest in our life.

Rev 2:28  I will give him the morning star. There is something special about the morning star, the first star we see in the morning when we arise early to spend time with the Lord Jesus Christ.

Elijah Prayed Earnestly – Bible Prayers

Bible Prayers are prayers where the prayer words are in the Bible.  There are many prayers where the words of the prayer are right in the Bible.

Canon Beach Haystack Rock – Elijah Prayed

Sometime we don’t know what the words are, like when Jesus prayed all night.  We don’t know what He prayed, we just know the outcome the next day where He choose the twelve apostles.  There is a few Bible verses that are teachings on prayer, like the Lord’s Prayer.

I just love this Bible verse on prayer:  Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain; and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months. — James 5:17

Psalm 22:19 But thou, Jehovah, be not far from me; O my strength, haste thee to help me.

Consider the verse in John 15:7 where the Lord Jesus says “If you abide in me and my words abide in you, ask what ever you wish and it shall be done.”  A big part of prayer is our mind being filled with the Words of the Bible.  The more our mind is renewed with God’s Word the more prayers get answered.  His word in our thinking causes us to pray closer to His will.

Happy Ending

The Bible ends in a happy way.
Everyone loves a story with a happy ending. Some people even cheat and just read the last chapter. Well, in God’s story that He is writing, God finishes in a very positive way.  His story includes the history of humanity, the earth, and the rest of the universe.

So jump to the last book of the Bible, the book of Revelation, and see how God finishes in a happy way. At the end, all evil is conquered, all evil is thrown into the eternal trash can called the Lake of fire. Unfortunately, those that follow evil also end up in the trash can.  God is on the throne. There is a heavenly wonderful city called the New Jerusalem, and God’s people live with God in this city for eternity. So it is important to believe in Jesus to be a part of the happy ending.

Prayer that Works – Elijah Prayed

In the Bible, James talks about Elijah, who had learned how to pray “prayer that works“. God answered his prayers. But Elijah had to learn to pray. See the blog on prayer that works.

So never give up on prayer. God answers prayer. Sometimes we give up because we do not see any results, so we quit. God answers prayer in His time and in His way. Consider Abraham who waited 20 years for an answer to the prayer for a son.

House of Prayer

Wow, the best Bible verse on this is:  Isaiah 56:7   I will bring them to My holy mountain, And make them joyful in My house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and sacrifices will be accepted on My altar;  My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations.

Notice, it is a house of prayer, not a prayer room, not a place of prayer. A house is a place where we live and are comfortable. We typically live in our house almost everyday. Um, everyday is about how often we should pray.
