The 7th seal
Revelations 7: 1-8
144,000 Sealed
1After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth to prevent any wind from blowing on the land or on the sea or on any tree. 2Then I saw another angel coming up from the east, having the seal of the living God. He called out in a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm the land and the sea: 3"Do not harm the land or the sea or the trees until we put a seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God." 4Then I heard the number of those who were sealed: 144,000 from all the tribes of Israel.
5From the tribe of Judah 12,000 were sealed,
from the tribe of Reuben 12,000,
from the tribe of Gad 12,000,
6from the tribe of Asher 12,000,
from the tribe of Naphtali 12,000,
from the tribe of Manasseh 12,000,
7from the tribe of Simeon 12,000,
from the tribe of Levi 12,000,
from the tribe of Issachar 12,000,
8from the tribe of Zebulun 12,000,
from the tribe of Joseph 12,000,
from the tribe of Benjamin 12,000.
4 winds symbolize the intensified Global judgement of God.
All the judgements of 7 seals died down.
Jewish Evangelists are consecrated. They are also empowered and immune by the intensified judgements and forces.
Revelations 14: 1 – Seal on the forehead
The Lamb and the 144,000
1Then I looked, and there before me was the Lamb, standing on Mount Zion, and with him 144,000 who had his name and his Father's name written on their foreheads
The mark consists of the Father’s name. It symbolises the mark of possession by God.
Revelations 22: 4 – We are going to be sealed by God.
4They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads.
Jewish people are the people of promise.
Romans 11: 25-27
V25. Every Gentile will be saved.
Zechariah 8:20-23
20 This is what the LORD Almighty says: "Many peoples and the inhabitants of many cities will yet come, 21 and the inhabitants of one city will go to another and say, 'Let us go at once to entreat the LORD and seek the LORD Almighty. I myself am going.' 22 And many peoples and powerful nations will come to Jerusalem to seek the LORD Almighty and to entreat him."
23 This is what the LORD Almighty says: "In those days ten men from all languages and nations will take firm hold of one Jew by the hem of his robe and say, 'Let us go with you, because we have heard that God is with you.'
The Jews (God’s chosen ones) is going to be wooed by God. They are the ones who will preached the gospel in great power.
Revelations 7:9-12 Result of the 144,000 Jewish Evangelists
The Great Multitude in White Robes
9After this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. 10And they cried out in a loud voice:
"Salvation belongs to our God,
who sits on the throne,
and to the Lamb." 11All the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures. They fell down on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, 12saying:
"Amen!
Praise and glory
and wisdom and thanks and honor
and power and strength
be to our God for ever and ever.
Amen!"
Matthew 24:4 All the nations will have a chance to hear the gospel.
4Jesus answered: "Watch out that no one deceives you.
Revelation 7:13-17 (New International Version)
13Then one of the elders asked me, "These in white robes—who are they, and where did they come from?"
14 I answered, "Sir, you know."
And he said, "These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 15Therefore,
"they are before the throne of God
and serve him day and night in his temple;
and he who sits on the throne will spread his tent over them.
16 Never again will they hunger;
never again will they thirst.
The sun will not beat upon them,
nor any scorching heat.
17 For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd;
he will lead them to springs of living water.
And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."
A group of people did not go through the Great Tribulation but instead came out of the Great Tribulation, they did not die. They are supernaturally removed by the Angels.
The 7th Seal
Revelations 8 : 1-6
Revelation 8
The Seventh Seal and the Golden Censer
1When he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.
2And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and to them were given seven trumpets.
3Another angel, who had a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense to offer, with the prayers of all the saints, on the golden altar before the throne. 4The smoke of the incense, together with the prayers of the saints, went up before God from the angel's hand. 5Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and hurled it on the earth; and there came peals of thunder, rumblings, flashes of lightning and an earthquake.
The Trumpets
6Then the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared to sound them
When the 7th seal is broken, there is a moment of silence for half-an-hour in Heaven and on Earth.
Censer is a fire pan. The angels offer prayers to God with the incense. The prayers of the saints go to the prayers of the Father.
Unbelievable calamities are going to fall to the earth.
Faith-filled prayers are going to God. They are prayers that are not disappointed. So do not give up hope.
Keep a prayer journal.
We need to overcome our lousy feeling.
Your actions will motivate your mood.

Forget the Past
Forget the Past
By Greg Laurie
I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 3:14
Everyone who has run a race knows that you can break your stride by looking over your shoulder to see how your opponents are doing. Many races have been lost when the leader looked back. When you see that finish line, you are supposed to give it everything you have, because sometimes it is mere inches that separate one runner from another. You must stay focused.
This is the idea behind Paul's statement in Philippians 3:13: "Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead." Paul was saying, "Don't look back. Don't look behind you."
When God promises, "I, even I, am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake; and I will not remember your sins" (Isaiah 43:25), He is not predicting a lapse in His memory. God is saying. "I am no longer going to hold your sin against you, because my Son has paid for it at the cross."
Therefore, we need to do what God does: forget our past. We need to learn from our mistakes and remember some of the bitter lessons we have learned. But we no longer need to be controlled by our past.
That is what Paul meant by "forgetting those things which are behind. . . . " Think about the horrible things Paul had done. He was responsible for the death of Stephen and had to carry that in his conscience until his final day. He knew that he was responsible for some terrible things. But he was able to put his past in the past. And we need to do the same.

Forgive Your Offenders!
Forgive Your Offenders!
Bill Gothard
Jim could not understand why his sons were reacting to him. Although he was sometimes hard on them if they failed to keep their word, he reasoned that responsibility was an important character quality that they should develop.
Responsibility is an important quality for children to learn, but why was Jim so harsh in teaching it to his sons? The reason could be traced back to a time when Jim was a boy and his father failed to keep an important promise to him. One day Jim’s father had informed Jim that he would be going to summer camp. At first, Jim was hesitant to leave, because he was raising pigeons and there would be no one to take care of them while he was gone. However, his father assured Jim that he would take personal responsibility for the care of the pigeons while Jim was gone.
When Jim returned from camp, he rushed out to see his pigeons. To his horror, they were all dead! His father had failed to care for them. The pain of the situation grew even worse when his father flippantly said, “Oh, I forgot, but they were just a bunch of pigeons. You can get some more.” Jim developed a deep resentment toward his father, and this resentment was now affecting the way he responded to his sons and others.
The need to fully forgive offenders from the heart is clearly given in this important command:
“Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.” (Matthew 18:21-22)
It is possible that Peter’s concern in asking this question was that an offender be properly punished. Jesus knew that such a perspective would never allow Peter to experience the power of the Holy Spirit. Peter needed a bigger perspective—one that would change his heart from self-centeredness to self-examination, from vindictiveness to viewing all of his sins that God had forgiven.
The principles of forgiveness that Jesus taught Peter are vital for us to understand as well. The Book of I Peter is like a “handbook for the hurting” and gives practical instruction on how to respond to offenses.
When we do not forgive, we are hindered from being the people God intends for us to be.
If we fail to fully forgive those who have hurt us, we will develop reactionary and defensive spirits that will damage other relationships in our lives. We may not even be aware of our negative attitudes, but those around us will notice them. Some will learn to live with them, concluding that “this is just the way we are.” Others will react to our attitudes, which will cause new hurts.
How have we responded to offenses in the past? Have we become angry and bitter, or have we shown forgiveness and love? Let’s ask God to teach us the keys to forgiveness and to give us the grace needed to obey this vital command.
Through Christ our Lord,
Bill Gothard

Luke 12:48 ~ nlt ~
Much is required from those to whom much is given
Dear friends:
Do not give up on someone you have a burden for to receive Christ. God works in mysterious ways to bring people into His kingdom.
An example occurred shortly after we began the Campus Crusade for Christ ministry. A mother called me one day and told me about her son, a non-Christian, but who had been making contributions to this ministry through her. She asked me to witness to him. I learned that the son owned five newspapers. He was a man of great means, who had it all.
After several days I did call him and said, "Your mother tells me that you're the one who's giving this money. I want to thank you for what you're doing." He interrupted me and bluntly said, "I'm not a Christian. You know I'm not a Christian."
I replied, "Is there any reason?"
After a long silence, he said, "I can't think of any."
I said, "Come out to the university and join me in meeting with the students." To my surprise, he did come. It was a big fraternity house filled with excited college students, mostly new Christians and others who were seeking God. He looked around the room in awe.
"Are these people Christians?" he said. He had never seen anything like this. He later came to several meetings, but did not receive Christ. One night he went with me to a church service where I gave the invitation to receive our Lord. He and his wife slipped out the side door during my invitation to receive Christ.
They were pacing the sidewalk outside the church when I came out. As we were driving away, he said, "When you gave the invitation, we slipped out. We didn't want to be a part of that." But he added, "Is it too late for us to receive Christ."
When we returned home, we got on our knees and they received Christ. That night he and his wife read the Bible for hours, and even though an alcoholic, he never took another drink, as far as I know. For a couple of years I discipled him by taking him to skid row missions and prisons to witness. And he began giving his wealth to help promote the cause of Christ.
One day I said to him, "You know a lot of people who could do what you are doing at the prisons and on skid row. Somebody needs to go to the executives. Go to your peers and tell them what has happened." He did, and for many years had an impact on thousands of leading businessmen and women.
"If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature" (2 Corinthians 5:17 - KJV).

“From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked.” Luke 12:48b (NIV)
Devotion:
Okay, I’ll admit I’m no spring chicken, but I’m still full of life; so I decided that I would spend this year doing 51 things I’ve never done before (yes, that’s one thing for every birthday I’ve had). I wanted to do things I’ve always talked about doing, but somehow just never got around to doing.
It’s been fun to use the good china & crystal everyday, as well as the nice towels. I light my favorite candle each evening when I get home from work and I even drove a Jet Ski in the Atlantic Ocean while dolphins raced beside me. I’ve checked off many things from my list this year but there are still things to do before the year is done. Not to give the impression that I’ve only been doing things for myself this year, I also have a few items on my list that will allow me to “give back” to our community. For instance, I’ve always wanted to make dinner for the firemen at our local fire station.
When a neighbor’s home recently caught fire I was so impressed with the firemen who put out the fire and the care they gave to the gentleman living in the home who needed some minor medical attention. After the hoses were rolled up and the ladders stowed I spoke to the shift captain and volunteered to cook dinner for the men of the fire station. He replied “Thank you mam, people are always dropping off cookies; but no one has ever volunteered to feed all thirty-one of us”.
Thirty-one hungry firemen, oh my goodness! What have I gotten myself into? Oh well... numbers aside I said I wanted to do this and do it I will. I think a Thanksgiving dinner would be an appropriate way to say thanks and one way to give back to the men and women who serve my community.
As Thanksgiving approaches and thoughts turn to the food and the whirlwind of details associated with that holiday, I’m reminded that my blessings are too numerous to count or even measure. So this year as the turkey roasts and the marshmallows melt on top of the yams I will rejoice in this new Thanksgiving tradition. I indeed have been given so very much and now I want to find ways to give thanks to those who give of themselves everyday. I hope my list of fifty-one things to do will inspire you to find a way to give thanks to those who serve your community. I can’t think of a better time of year to do just that.
Dear Lord, You continue to lavish your blessings upon me and I am grateful. Help me to find ways to give thanks to those who serve and protect my community. Bless them and their families with Your grace and protection. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Keep No Record
Keep No Record
Today's Scripture
“…Love keeps no record of wrong done to it” (I Corinthians 13:5).
Today's Word from Joel and Victoria
The Bible says that God is love. He doesn’t just have love, He is love. The love we have is an extension of Him. When you invite Jesus to be the Lord of your life, the Bible says that He actually makes His home in your heart. Think about that for a minute. The Creator of the universe, who cannot be contained by anything, chose to make His home on the inside of your heart. That means that perfect love is on the inside of you. When you cooperate with God and submit your will to His, you are allowing His perfect love to flow through you. First Corinthians 13 tells us what that looks like. When we are walking in God’s love, we are patient. We are kind. Verse 5 says that love keeps no record of wrong. That’s simply forgiveness. Love always forgives. That doesn’t mean that the other person was right, it only means that you are choosing to let go of the bitterness, hurt, and anger. If you have a mental list of all the people who have hurt or offended you, let it go today. Cooperate with God and let His love work through you. As you do, you’ll see His power flow through you, and you’ll experience the life of victory God has promised!
A Prayer for Today
Heavenly Father, thank You for loving and setting me free. Thank You for choosing to live on the inside of my heart. Show me if I am holding on to unforgiveness in any area so that I can forgive and walk in peace and victory today. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

The Golden Compass Movie
Dear All,
I believe this email came in timely because i was just wondering whether it is ok to view this movie. Please forward this mail to all parents abt this so that they can tell their children abt this movie. I will also publish this in my blogpage at http://rhemalovers.blogspot.com to create awareness for all Christian families to know.
Prayer for all of you.
Father i thank you this timely email over the movie "The Golden Compass" that the evil one have been trying to cause us to denounce God... I pray all parents who receive this email will be spiritually alarmed and tell their children on the danger of this movie.I also like to pray for the children who listen to their parents have a spiritual knowing that God is protecting them from the schemes of the evil one. I emphasize on the prayer that Warring Angels to hover all over Singapore to keep all children and all adults.
2 Chronicles 7:14 (New International Version)
14 if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
Yes Lord we say that we will humble ourselves and pray for our land Singapore. Forgive us for failing to keep our eyes on You Lord. I seek your forgiveness that You will show forth Your mighty power to cleanse Singapore from any harm in the form of media, sickness, word of destruction and emails. I plead the blood of Jesus over all our families, friends, associates and children (young and old) to keep them away from the ways of destruction and purity of God to flow over their hearts, minds, souls, words and actions. Cause us to fixed our eyes for You and You alone. Take away the spiritual blindness that is preventing us from seeing the glory and mighty works of God that is happening around us. Put in us the awareness of what to look out for and strengthen us with the vigilance to read the Bible more.
All these i ask and pray in Jesus name I pray, Amen!
Do keep Singapore in prayer as well. Thanks

Title: The Golden Compass Movie
Most of you probably have already read a similar email as this. But, just in case you haven't.
These are very serious times we are living in and the enemy would love nothing better then to capture our hearts and plant a seed of doubt where ever he can.
The movie “The Golden Compass” starring Nicole Kidman is coming to theaters. It is based on the trilogy of books by atheist, Phillip Pullman, of England and is geared towards kids. He wants kids to denounce God and Heaven but he does it in a very subtle way that parents may not pick up on what his true intentions are. In a 2003 interview, Pullman said, “My books are about killing God.”
Please don’t take your kids to see this movie!! Send this to EVERYONE you know!!! We need to get the word out about this movie and make sure that no one supports it!!!
The link below gives more information about the movie and Pullman . Go check it out…

Father i thank you this timely email over the movie "The Golden Compass" that the evil one have been trying to cause us to denounce God... I pray all parents who receive this email will be spiritually alarmed and tell their children on the danger of this movie.I also like to pray for the children who listen to their parents have a spiritual knowing that God is protecting them from the schemes of the evil one. I emphasize on the prayer that Warring Angels to hover all over Singapore to keep all children and all adults.
2 Chronicles 7:14 (New International Version)
14 if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
Yes Lord we say that we will humble ourselves and pray for our land Singapore. Forgive us for failing to keep our eyes on You Lord. I seek your forgiveness that You will show forth Your mighty power to cleanse Singapore from any harm in the form of media, sickness, word of destruction and emails. I plead the blood of Jesus over all our families, friends, associates and children (young and old) to keep them away from the ways of destruction and purity of God to flow over their hearts, minds, souls, words and actions. Cause us to fixed our eyes for You and You alone. Take away the spiritual blindness that is preventing us from seeing the glory and mighty works of God that is happening around us. Put in us the awareness of what to look out for and strengthen us with the vigilance to read the Bible more.
All these i ask and pray in Jesus name I pray, Amen!
