Overcomers



Scripture:

Revelations 3 v 5: "He that overcometh the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels."

- In Revelations 2 and 3 Jesus writes a letter to each of the 7 churches. These comprise of His Body to this day. He exhorts them to discern and overcome evil.

- Then the church will be pure, holy and righteous and receive its rewards. The Body of Christ is an invisible spiritual entity of overcomers that will be completed and then Raptured to meet Jesus, the Head of the Church, in the air.

- This will complete the Bridegroom and the Marriage Feast will begin. At a certain point the Bridegroom leaves the Feast taking the saints with Him to fetch His Bride. She is under severe pressure as the armies of the world try to destroy Her at the Battle of Armageddon.

- The Bridegroom, Messiah and Saviour, destroys those armies in a moment of time and is re-united with His captive Bride and takes her to continue the joyous Feast.

- However, those who do not overcome sin and evil, will be blotted out of the Lamb's Book of Life and miss the Rapture and Feast.  So make sure your life is truly right and your sins are cleansed away by the Blood of Jesus.

Prayer: Lord Jesus, how You long for that glorious day when we become united with You and your Body is whole again and then the rescue of Your Bride - O the glory. I pray we will all be ready having overcome this world as You did. Amen
