1. This is revelation from Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants the events that must soon take place. He sent an angel to present this revelation to his servant John,
2. who faithfully reported everything he saw. This is his report of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ.

3. God blesses the one who reads the words of this prophecy to the church, and he blesses all who listen to its message and obey what it says, for the time is near.

John's Greeting to the Seven Churches

4. This letter is from John to the seven churches in the province of Asia.

Grace and peace to you from the one who is, who always was, and who is still to come; from the seven-fold Spirit before his throne;
5. and from Jesus Christ. He is the faithful witness to these things, the first to rise from the dead, and the ruler of all the kings of world.

All glory to him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by shedding his blood for us.
6. He has made us a Kingdom of priests for God his Father. All glory and power to him forever and ever! Amen.

7. Look! He comes with the clouds of heaven. And everyone will see him ⏤ even those who pierced him. And all the nations of the world will mourn for him. Yes! Amen!

8. "I am the Alpha and the Omega ⏤the beginning and the end," says the LORD God. "I am the one who is, who always was, and who is still to come ⏤
the Almighty One."

12th strategy.
History -
Oh wow, that is where it comes from.

God wants you to know how His story happened.
How He created the earth, made his children, and how traditions became interwoven into his family.

• Open your heart. Begin with confession.
• Ask God to prompt you to hear Him and what He wants you to come away with.
• Read the passage.
• Does this passage answer questions or lay down foundations of traditions you have often wondered about?
• Read the passage again.
• Take a moment to highlight the verses that answer a question you have often wondered about.
• Has a particular spiritual practice been born out these particular passages. If so, write the spiritual practice down, and then the scripture book and numbers corresponding to it.
• You might consider writing this in the margin of your bible. or even in the inside cover for future reference.
• End by asking God to reveal to you the reasons for His traditions. Is there a meaning that applies to you today?
• Don't forget to thank God for being with you right where you are, right now.
