This week we look at Revelation 5 and the first thing we noticed was how many people and Angels all sang together, can you imagine millions all singing together? How amazing that must be and the sound would be so beautiful.

We then looked at the bowls of incense a pleasing offering of prayer. Do your prayers honour God or do you just cry out to Him when you want Him to do something? Will you just for 1 week stop asking and pray daily with thanksgiving and praise? He will still know what is in your heart so the missions and people we pray for will still be taken care of but just for 1 week don’t, ask don’t demand just praise and thank Him, send your love to Him.

Now we look at Jesus this chapter has him with 7 horns and after some deliberation we came to the conclusion that they represent the characteristics worthy of Him, they are Power, Wealth, Wisdom, Strength, Honour, Glory and Praise. We then looked at His role in the world when he takes the scroll from God. Jesus becomes one with Him, Jesus is given even more authority and officially becomes our redeemer, in opening a scroll nothing else in all creation can open Jesus takes His crown.

We then looked at animal logos for example here in Britain our logo is a Lion and every place we could think off has a strong or fearsome animal as it’s logo, yet Heaven chose a meek and mild Lamb. How amazing the greatest place ever, the place with the most power and strength chose something so tame, so quiet, so unthreatening. We cry out to God and our redemption, hope and salvation is given us in a Lamb.
To finish we looked at Angels and there is actually a lot of references to them in the bible I will put a list of all the ones my bible has shown me at the end of this devotional. Every Angel has it’s own job. Yes, there is even guardian Angels our group knew of four separate incidents where God has sent an Angel to the rescue.
The first was on a motorway and a car had broken down in a very dangerous spot, a stranger got out and got them going He even directed them to a garage and told them to mention His name no-one at the garage had ever heard of Him.
The second was in Switzerland again a car had broken down on a mountain and in a very dangerous place. A van stopped to help it turned out a bolt was missing from the starter motor and as some of you may be aware its incredibly tricky to find a bolt that is just the right length, thickness and thread but this stranger had just what was needed on his van, when the car was fixed the van and its occupant just disappeared.
The third a couple was walking on a mountain in Spain and became very thirsty suddenly a man appeared and told them the closest place to get water, again when they looked around the man was gone
The final one was on an empty beach an unsavoury looking person started walking toward them then a man started walking behind them and scared of the scary looking individual when they turned round no one was there.
So you see we all have a guardian Angel ready to help us when we need it the most.
We finish this week feeling inspired and very good about what our future holds and how heaven will be. Let’s see where we go next.
We leave you with this God and His Angels will minister to your needs you don’t need to ask just believe. You are loved and will be welcomed into heaven with Joy. Stay strong.
Sending you all love and blessing’s
