“Blessed and holy is he, that hath part in the first resurrection: for on such the second death hath no power: but they shall be the Priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand yeere [years]” (Rev. 20:6 [1587 Geneva Version]).  Father, Your wonderous works are because of Your love. In […]

“But the rest of the dead men shall not liue again, vntill the thousand yeres [years] be finished: this is the first resurrection” (Rev. 20:5 [1587 Geneva Version]).  Father, You are the Good Great God and we are Your servants who follow hard after Your Son.

This song made me think of curcuit preacher Robert Sayers Sheffey’s time of Church revivals. So here’s the song and the front cover of the middle grade book that is slotted to publish this fall.

“And I heard like a voyce [voice] of a great multitude [converted to Christ], and as the voyce of many waters, and as the voyce of strong thundrings, saying, ‘Hallelu-iah: for the Lord that God that almightie [almighty] God hath reigned” (Rev. 19:6 [1587 Geneva Version]).  Father, the praises of Your people sing to You. How blessed is Your name. […]

“These [kings] haue one minde, and shall giue their power, and authoritie vnto the beast. These shall fight with the Lambe [Lamb/Christ], and the Lambe shall ouercome them: for he is Lorde of Lordes, and King of Kings: and they that are on his side, called, and chosen, and faithful (Rev. 17:13, 14 [1587 Geneva Version]).  Father, please […]

“And there were voyces, and thunderings, and lightnings, and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were vpon the earth, euen so mightie an earthquake” (Rev. 16:18 [1587 Geneva Version]). Father, is this first part the voices of the apostles? Is the second part the voices of the reformers such as […]

“And I sawe as it were a glassie [glassy] sea, mingled with fire, and them [Disciples/Believers] that had gotten victorie [victory] of the beast, and of his image, and of his marke, and of the number of his name, stand at the glassie sea, hauing the harpes [harps] of God” (Revelation 15:2 [1587 Geneva Version]).  Father, if we stay faithful in You and […]

“Then I looked, and lo, a Lambe [Christ] stood on mount Sion, and with him an hundreth, fourtie and foure thousand, hauing his Fathers Name written in their foreheads” (Revelation 14:1 [1587 Geneva Version]).  Father, we want Your name written in our foreheads our minds. Please help us to get back up when we stumble. […]

“If any leade [lead] [someone] into captiuitie[captivity], hee shall go into captiuitie: if any kill with a sword, he must be killed by a sword: here is the patience and the faith of the Saints” (Revelation 13:10 [1587 Geneva Version]).  Father, from this we learn no one will escape harsh punishment when they do evil […]

“Then I heard a loude [loud] voyce in heauen, saying, ‘Now is saluation [salvation], and strength, and the kingdome of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser [Satan] of our brethren is cast downe, which accused them before our God day and night. But they [Believers] ouercame him by that blood […]
