GOD IS STILL ON THE THRONE
By Pastor Darryl Woodson
Revelation
4:1-2_...
2Immediately I was in the Spirit; and behold, a throne set in
heaven, and One sat on the throne.
Verses
9-10_9Whenever
the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to Him who sits on the
throne, who lives forever and ever, 10the twenty-four elders fall
down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and
ever, and cast their crowns before the throne,
The
book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ as to His servant John comprises of the
seven letters to the seven churches in Asia, the vision of the Throne room of
Heaven and of future things to come. This book comes with blessings to the one
who reads and hears the words of prophecy written therein, and keeps those
things which are written.
Nothing
on earth compares to anything in heaven, no beauty, no sight, no smell, no
sound…
The
One who sits on the Throne in appearance like jasper and sardius stone, the
light of the Glory of Him fills the place and the colours of the emerald-like
rainbow around the Throne, with the lightnings, thunderings and voices that
proceed from the Throne.
Revelation
4:5_5…Seven
lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are seven Spirits of God.
The
book of Revelation is full of sevens, as is evident to the one who reads this
precious book. These seven Spirits of God are found mentioned by Isaiah, a
prophet in Judah, in;
Isaiah
11:2_2The
Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him, The Spirit of wisdom and understanding,
The Spirit of counsel and might, The Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the
Lord.
Despite
the things that go on around us, the murders, the bombings, nations fighting
nations or family instabilities, God is still on the Throne. He created all
things and reigns and rules over all things. By His Will they exist and were
created not by the will of any other.
These
end of days require us to live in wisdom and not out of fear of anything as
this symbolizes that God is not on the Throne, especially on the throne of our
hearts.
Let
us live daily by taking ourselves off the throne of our hearts and let God take
His rightful place! This is the time the Church has to shine brightly for all
peoples and nations to see and come to the knowledge of God. This cannot happen
if God is not on His Throne in our lives.
Hebrews
4:16_16Let
us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and
find grace to help in time of need.
Mercy
is at the throne of grace, come boldly in faith that mercy is ready to be
poured out on you and grace you will find thereupon.
