Today, we step into the most misunderstood, most avoided, and yet most powerful prophetic book in the Bible—Revelation. It’s not about dragons and doom. It’s a revealing of Jesus Christ in His full glory. And it was written for us, not to confuse us.

Our springboard for today’s discussion is:“Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear, and who keep what is written in it, for the time is near.” — Revelation 1:3 (ESV)

This book isn’t a puzzle meant to paralyze you. It’s a prophecy meant to prepare you. Revelation means “unveiling.” It’s the pulling back of the curtain so we can see Jesus—not just as Savior—but as King, Judge, and Victorious Warrior.

Yes, there are symbols. Yes, there’s mystery. But this isn’t a horror novel. It’s a divine battle plan. And those who press in—those who read, hear, and obey—are blessed.

The dragon, the beast, the scrolls, the bowls—they all point to one central truth: Jesus wins.

So why do so many believers ignore this book? Fear. Confusion. Disinterest. But now’s not the time to look away. Now’s the time to let Revelation build endurance, urgency, and awe in your soul.

You don’t need a theology degree to understand Revelation. You need humility, the Holy Spirit, and a heart that’s willing to listen.

Don’t let the enemy rob you of this blessing. Read it. Speak it aloud. Let it shape your prayers and sharpen your discernment.

Question of the Day:What emotions surface when you read Revelation—and what might God be asking you to do with them?

Mini Call to Action:Today, read Revelation chapter 1. Read it slowly. Ask God to speak. Then write down one truth about Jesus you see in that chapter.

Let’s Pray:Jesus, open my eyes to the power and beauty of Revelation. Help me not to fear the unknown but to embrace the revealing of Your victory. Make me ready. In Your name, amen.

Let’s Get To Work!The enemy wants to scare you away from Revelation. God wants to show you your role in the end. So open the book. Lean in. Let it change you.

Today, we’re diving into a topic that’s been on the minds of many believers, especially those who study biblical prophecy: the signs of Jesus’ return and their role in today’s world. What does the Bible say about these signs? How do current events align with prophetic Scripture?

Our springboard for today’s discussion is:“So also, when you see all these things, you know that he is near, at the very gates.” — Matthew 24:33 (ESV)

Jesus never told us to guess the day of His return. But He did command us to watch. And not just watch—but understand. Just like leaves on a fig tree reveal summer is near, the signs we’re seeing today are no coincidence.

Earthquakes. Wars. Nations rising against nations. False messiahs. Global unrest. Jesus wasn’t giving us headlines—He was giving us a heartbeat. A rhythm. A signal that the end is not random—it’s purposeful.

You see, prophecy isn’t about fear—it’s about preparation. God doesn’t reveal the end to scare His people but to prepare His bride. We’re not called to look away—we’re called to stay alert, grounded, and full of faith.

If the signs are everywhere—and they are—then the real question is: Are we listening?

Some mock. Some yawn. Some scroll past prophecy like it’s background noise. But the spiritually awake will recognize the hour. They will tune out the noise of fear and tune in to the whisper of the Spirit.

Question of the Day:What signs around you seem to echo Jesus’ words in Matthew 24?

Mini Call to Action:Today, open your Bible and read all of Matthew 24 aloud. Then ask the Holy Spirit to show you how those words apply to what’s happening around you right now.

Let’s Pray:Lord, help me not to fall asleep in this prophetic hour. Help me to recognize the signs, not with fear, but with holy anticipation. Make me watchful, ready, and full of faith. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Let’s Get To Work!God’s not hiding His plan—He’s revealing it. The question is, are your eyes open?

Scripture: “The Lord your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness; He will quiet you by his love; He will exult over you with loud singing.” — Zephaniah 3:17 (ESV)

My beloved,

Come close. Lay down your striving. Stop trying to earn what I’ve already given. I love you. Not in theory. Not in some distant, impersonal way. I love you—right here, right now, completely.

I saw you before you were born. I knew every detail of your life before you ever took a breath. Nothing surprises Me. Not your pain. Not your doubt. Not even your sin. And still—I call you Beloved.

You’ve looked in mirrors that lied to you. You’ve chased approval that never filled you. You’ve listened to voices that said you were too broken, too much, or not enough.

But here is My truth:You are not forgotten.You are not invisible.You are not disqualified.

I rejoice over you with gladness.I quiet your anxious heart with My love.I sing over you with joy.

When others walk away—I remain. When your heart falters—I hold fast. My love is not fragile. My promises do not crack under pressure.

I see your scars, and I still say, “You’re Mine.”I see your questions, and I whisper, “I’m still here.”

Your identity is not built on what you’ve done—it’s built on what My Son has finished.

You are My child.You are My delight.You are My beloved.

So come back to Me. Rest in Me. Let My love be louder than every lie. Let My Word define you more than your past.

You don’t have to prove anything.Just receive Me.Just be with Me.

I have called you by name.You. Are. Mine.

— Your Father
