At tent of meeting we've been reflecting on and praying about Jesus' words to the seven churches in Revelation 2 and 3.

Yesterday I shared how I've asked many of the friends and subscribers of tent of meeting to pray about writing a prayer related to Revelation 2-3 that I might post here. Here is the first of those prayers.

Today's prayer is from biblerapture (Jim) and was originally posted here.

This prayer is based on Jesus' words to the Church at Philadelphia in Revelation 3.

And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: The words of the holy one, the true one, who has the key of David, who opens and no one will shut, who shuts and no one opens. 8 I know your works. Behold, I have set before you an open door, which no one is able to shut. I know that you have but little power, and yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name. 9 Behold, I will make those of the synagogue of Satan who say that they are Jews and are not, but lie—behold, I will make them come and bow down before your feet and they will learn that I have loved you. 10 Because you have kept my word about patient endurance, I will keep you from the hour of trial that is coming on the whole world, to try those who dwell on the earth. 11 I am coming soon. Hold fast what you have, so that no one may seize your crown. 12 The one who conquers, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God. Never shall he go out of it, and I will write on him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down from my God out of heaven, and my own new name. 13 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

A SIMPLE PRAYER

Lord God. Father God. Son of God. God the Son. Creator of the Universe. Thank You and Praise You for being so patient with us. We sin against You. We outright ignore your warnings that You Yourself laid down so many centuries ago. Your prophetic words in your Revelation although spoken to John so many years ago by your Spirit still speak to us today. We see the twofold meaning in those words.

We hold onto what You spoke to the church in Philadelphia promising that 'since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come upon the whole world to test those who live upon the earth'. You Word is spoken and is a bond not to be broken.

You are warning and warning us through so many of your people throughout this world You created that Your judgment is coming. Your wrath is coming. We see the signs you have spoken coming alive around us. We are not only in "the Last Days", we are quickly becoming part of them. We know You are warning us so we will be prepared to help others who do not know you yet. Come Lord Jesus. You and You alone are our only Hope.

In Jesus Name, Amen.
