Daily Scripture
“They have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death.”
— Revelation 12:11
Daily Application
The ones who conquer are the ones who bleed. They don't beg for mercy; they wear their scars like crowns and carve their testimony into the bones of this dying world. The blood of the Lamb marks them for war, not safety. Death is not their enemy — silence is. Today, if fear hunts you, hunt it back. If death calls your name, roar the name of Christ louder. You weren't built for retreat.
Hell should choke on the memory of you. Every step you take drips with defiance; every breath you still draw is a sword swung against the dark. This life was never about survival — it was about slaughtering cowardice at the altar of the King. So bleed if you must. Break if you must. But never, never bow.
This makes me feel so courageous and bold!! Yet, what do I do when I have the opportunity to be bold? Usually, not much. Lord, please remind me of Isaiah 53:10 in those opportunities.
4/18/5 1 Peter 1:18–19
What a mighty portrayal of what God has done through Jesus Christ our Lord.
I pray this truth truly transforms my actions and thoughts and words. The price Jesus paid was too high for me to keep wallowing in self. You paid my ransom now help me LIVE through freedom to get Your message of ransom to the slaves of sin.
Powerful truth. Hard to apprehend. Hard to apply. Sure and constant surrender and worship..... LORD, help me
04/19/25 I really hope you keep on writing these verses and commentary. Psalm 19:14 isn’t a soft whisper—it’s a plea from the battlefield of the soul: “God, tame my tongue and purify my thoughts, because I’m not here to perform—I’m here to be transformed.” Such a powerful prayer! One I need to cry every day. This cry is one of total acknowledgement that Jesus alone can change me - transform me into His likeness! His work in this earth, His work on the cross is a complete work-He who began a good work in me will COMPLETE it. He rose from the grave, surely he can transform me. That same Holy Spirit, the breath of the living God, can bring me to life too.
BELOVED. KEPT. The apple of GOD’S eye! What?! TREASURED. DEFENDED. ACCEPTED.
Isaiah 53:5
That sure crushes my excuses for sin into dust. My forgiveness carved out of Jesus’s flesh. My peace bought by His deep distress and anguish of soul. Jesus! Forgive me for ever taking it lightly. Because of YOU I’m RANSOMED❣️
This is so good. What a blessing to have even 1 true friend. Thank God for Jesus, the Friend that sticks closer than a brother.
Ooh! Hallelujah! Death could not hold Him. In Christ, it cannot hold me.
Amen. Amen.
4/9/25 Romans 6:9 Jesus truly has conquered the grave. In Christ, we are more than conquerors. . . Lord, help us to really know this and walk it out. Live victoriously. Our Lord defeated death! He is the forerunner into life eternal. Even as Jesus ascended to the right hand of the Father, so will we. Just as Jesus was rejected by most, and had to spend much time with His Father, so must we. Let us turn our eyes upon Jesus.
