Left WANTING MORE…S27E95 Rev 22: 18
Do not Add. Do not Subtract. This is a math equation. How can we respond positively to our inclination to want more?.
18 I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book, 19 and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.
20 He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!
21 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all. Amen.
Exactly all of His events recorded in Revelation are exactly what He wants us to hear about, think about, know about and respond to.
There is nothing He wishes added that is not true—obviously wants no falsehood
No non-accurate additions. Non-heavenly, non-true
There is nothing He wishes added that is true
Truth: there are TRUE things about heaven, that are not recorded here.*******
It is not all here, There is enough here: *********
if you want to know what happens at the end of the world…its here ENOUGHis
if you want to know what happens when Jesus comes back…its here
If you want to know what happens to death and Satan…its here
If you want to know about how powerful God is, it’s here.
There is nothing that God wanted you to know about the end times
that He forgot to put in the Book of Revelation
That John missed
I know there IS MORE—there is glory upon glory that John didn’t put here
And God didn’t put here
LONGING
HUMANS long for more revelation, more of Him, more of His
Show me your ways. Show me your glory ex 33 moses
I WANT MORE of You. ********
If you ask, “I wonder what else there is…
Who will I associate with in Heaven
How will God associate with all who follow Him there?
These are good inclinations. There are at their essence
These questions, curiosities, concern over your sin,
************DESIRE FOR GOD HIMSELF;
He has put ETERNITY into mans heart Eccl 3:11
I am inclined to think that WANTING more is a Good thing*****
If you are left with revelation with WANTING MORE
He made us that way, left us that way****revel and appreciate your createdness
Flip side: if you are grieving THIS WORLD, that is a godly thing.
You were built to WANT MORE**********
We may WANT more, but we have Enough. Here to respond in faith, openheart
Enough here to know the heart of God—purpose that involves people
Permanently, intimately, even unexpectedly
Enough here to know the PLANS of God-even his archetecture
Enough here to know the Power of God-Armageddon over in a sentance
Enough here to know about place He prepared for HIMSELF and ourselves
There is nothing not here that you should know about
Didn’t forget something
Didn’t get cut off before He said…”and just one more thing…”
CAUTIONS
Ends with a warning
If you hear anybody ADDING to these words, RUN from her, him
Classic cult technique: God had more to say, so my so called prophet received another testament, more revelation
If there are more authoritative books that aren’t the Bbible: run
To those persons: Added plagues
Added revelation=added plagues
If you hear of anybody TAKING AWAY, RUN from her, him. Satan’s word in the garden of Eden to eve: did God really say? He didn’t mean that. He misspoke
Conclusion
If you are left WANTING MORE, good thing, godly thing
if you are grieving THIS WORLD, that is a godly thing.
You were built to WANT MORE
look HERE ; look to HIM
Look again here harder, more intently, carefully, look again here frequently, more expectantly
If you are left want more, look to HIM, look only to Him
there are TRUE things about heaven, that are not recorded here.*******
It is not all here, There is enough here: *********
I WANT MORE of You. ********
You were built to WANT MORE**********
