Revelation – Jesus is Coming Back!
We joke with each other when one of us attempts a haughty attitude in life. We remind them that “we know where you live” or “we see where you live”! Your prideful words don’t match what or where you came from. You’re exposed by those who know you well. You are no better than us who grew up with you, many think. Do we think that of some of our peers and friends?

Revelation 2, The Message
To Pergamum
12 Write this to Pergamum, to the Angel of the church. The One with the sharp-biting sword draws from the sheath of his mouth—out come the sword words:
13 “I see where you live, right under the shadow of Satan’s throne. But you continue boldly in my Name; you never once denied my Name, even when the pressure was worst, when they martyred Antipas, my witness who stayed faithful to me on Satan’s turf.
14-15 “But why do you indulge that Balaam crowd? Don’t you remember that Balaam was an enemy agent, seducing Balak and sabotaging Israel’s holy pilgrimage by throwing unholy parties? And why do you put up with the Nicolaitans, who do the same thing?

17 “Are your ears awake? Listen. Listen to the Wind Words, the Spirit blowing through the churches. I’ll give the sacred manna to every conqueror; I’ll also give a clear, smooth stone inscribed with your new name, your secret new name.”
When will He be “fed up”? God only knows. Be ready. Stay awake. Listen. God sees where we live. Don’t give in to those who follow the opposition.
Dear Heavenly Father,
We indulge in silly little social interactions that lead nowhere sometimes. Sometimes our words are questionable and even hurt. Help us to be ready with Your right thinking, saying and doing. Yes, you know where we live. Help us to live life to the fullest, even more abundant and free, giving You all glory and praise. Guide our every thought and action today.
In Jesus Name, Amen
