The one who destroys is the enemy.  He is named Abaddon in Hebrew and Apollyon in Greek.  His name means destroyer as his purpose is to slaughter and destroy the people he takes power over.  Commentary notes about him, “Satan and his demons always turn on and destroy those who are deceived by his promises of power and pleasure (see John 10:10).  The effects of his destructive work in people’s lives may not be as apparent today as the effects…..

“By this we know Him, if we keep His commandments.   Whoever says, ‘I know Him,’ and does not keep His commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him.   But whoever keeps His word truly has the love of God perfected in him.  By this we know that we are in Him.”  1 John 2:3-5 What does it mean to keep His commandments?  Here, it sounds like it means to get everything right; to have our lives line…..

“Therefore we should be more attentive to what we have heard, lest we drift away.  For if the word spoken by  angels was true, and every sin and disobedience received a just recompense, how shall we escape if we neglect such a great salvation, which was first declared by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by those who heard Him.” (Hebrews 2:1-3)   Angels is the Greek word aggelos.  It means a supernatural being that is a delegate or…..

What does it look like to walk so closely to the Lord that He dictates all our actions?  We see this in Acts as the people were filled from a baptism of the Holy Spirit.  As commentary notes, a genuine baptism in the Holy Spirit will cause us to have a more conscious awareness of the presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives. [1] “More precious than gold and silver, I want You” sings in the background.  The Holy Spirit…..

Stephen tells the spiritual leaders of the time when he was standing trial, “You stiff-necked people with uncircumcised hearts and ears! You always resist the Holy Spirit, just as your fathers did. “(Acts 7:51, BSB) To be stiff-necked means to resist or be stubborn and obstinate.   It means that we are prompted in one direction, but we go in another direction instead.   It is associated with being hard hearted. We have our own agenda and purpose and we follow this…..

With the coming of Pentecost and dancing tongues of fire, there came a move of the power of God like never before.  It came wrapped up in immense fire and passion as the Holy Spirit danced over the heads of the people who first received it. It changed them.   It equipped them with supernatural power that was inexplainable. It also gave them boldness to be witnesses.   And as they witnessed, people were cut to the heart creating a visceral response…..

“Then I saw what looked like a vast sea of glass blended with fiery flames.  Standing beside the sea were those who continually conquer the wild beast, his image and the number of his name.”   They each held the harps of God and they were singing the song of Moses.  God’s servant, and the song of the Lamb. The vast sea of glass speaks of God’s Kingdom rule and those who are walking in it with His peace and rest. …..

Over and over in the book of John, it speaks of remaining.  The disciples left John and remained with Jesus (John 1:39).  We are to remain in His word (John 8:31).  And whoever remains in Him, will bear much fruit (John 15:5) as they remain in His love (John 15:9) while those who do not remain are like a branch that withers (John 15:6).  John 15:7 (BSB) says, “If you remain in Me and My words remain in you, ask…..
