And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive;
-
I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
-
Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.
-
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.
My Prayer
Holy Yahushua, thank you that this scripture teaches us today how You measure riches. Thank you that there are treasures stored up for us in heaven when we suffer persecution for Your name's. Today many of our fellow believers are suffering severe persecution and Your Words warns us that much persecution awaits Your followers during the time of sorrows. Please give us all the resolve, the courage and the strength to STAND if this is the path for our lives. Thank you that You promise to never leave or forsake us and that the crown of life awaits us if we stand firm. Aman.
