15Apr2014- The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our lord

How you doin?  I love this week.  Holy week is probably my favorite week of the year.  I'm usually off from work all this week, but this year I'm working two days.  It's been very calm so far.  I just can't help but to love Jesus in a noticeable way this week.  I love Him every week, but this week I remember what He did more then normal.  I was listening to worship music yesterday and it was striking my heart strings in a major way.  Worship is important recognition of Him.  Revelation 11 today.

I'm not sure why Revelation isn't impacting me like most books do.  This book seems to require study.  It's hard for me to just read it as a story.  There are a lot of verses that stand out to me, but they are hard for me write about in this daily email.  The Holy Ghost has not pulled out His tattoo gun and drilled verses into me through understanding.  It's ok though.  I just keep reading.

Verses 11-13, "But after the three and a half days, the breath of life from God came into them, and they stood on their feet; and great fear fell upon those who were watching them. ¹² And they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here.” Then they went up into heaven in the cloud, and their enemies watched them. ¹³ And in that hour there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell; ^[i]seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the rest were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven."  WOW!!!!!!!  What a scene this is.  Three and half days laying dead in the street being celebrated over and then resurrected.  The bottom cometary of my Bible says that these two men resemble Moses and Elijah.  I've heard others say that they were two nameless priest.  Either way, the power God is AWESOME!!!!!!!

Verses 15, "Then the seventh angel sounded; and there were loud voices in heaven, saying,“The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His ^[j]Christ; and He will reign forever and ever.”'  SO GOOD!!!!!!!  I love the power and authority of Jesus.  He does reign forever.  He conquered death and reconciled us all back to God.  WOW WOW WOW!!!!!!!  "The kingdom of the world has become the Kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ".  That's a belief we lack as followers of Jesus.  Earth is intended to be our Lords Kingdom.  We are not waiting for His return for freedom, we already have it.  Jesus taught His disciples to pray, "Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven".  I would suggest that the Holy Ghost is trying to teach us to pray, "Thank you Jesus for trading out the kingdom of the world for Your Kingdom".  COME ON!!!!!!! 
Two times in this chapter there was a loud voice from heaven heard.  God is always speaking to us through His Holy Ghost.  Listen for a loud voice from heaven today.
