This is the second death, the lake of fire. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to what they had done. And when they have finished their testimony, the beast that rises from the bottomless pit will make war on them and conquer them and kill them,. And I will grant authority to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1, days, clothed in sackcloth.
And if anyone would harm them, fire pours from their mouth and consumes their foes. If anyone would harm them, this is how he is doomed to be killed. When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the witness they had borne.
And its rider had a bow, and a crown was given to him, and he came out conquering, and to conquer. Its rider was permitted to take peace from the earth, so that people should slay one another, and he was given a great sword.
And its rider had a pair of scales in his hand. Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.
For by it the people of old received their commendation. By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible. By faith Abel offered to God a more acceptable sacrifice than Cain, through which he was commended as righteous, God commending him by accepting his gifts. And through his faith, though he died, he still speaks. By faith Enoch was taken up so that he should not see death, and he was not found, because God had taken him.
Now before he was taken he was commended as having pleased God. For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. Therefore do not pronounce judgment before the time, before the Lord comes, who will bring to light the things now hidden in darkness and will disclose the purposes of the heart.
Then each one will receive his commendation from God. I am speaking the truth in Christ—I am not lying; my conscience bears me witness in the Holy Spirit— that I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart.
For I could wish that I myself were accursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my brothers, my kinsmen according to the flesh. They are Israelites, and to them belong the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the worship, and the promises. To them belong the patriarchs, and from their race, according to the flesh, is the Christ who is God over all, blessed forever. What then shall we say was gained by Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh?
For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God. For what does the Scripture say? And to the one who does not work but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness, For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Inasmuch as many have undertaken to compile a narrative of the things that have been accomplished among us, just as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word have delivered them to us, it seemed good to me also, having followed all things closely for some time past, to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, that you may have certainty concerning the things you have been taught.
In the days of Herod, king of Judea, there was a priest named Zechariah, of the division of Abijah. And he had a wife from the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. Then will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

I was a man, and it was time for me to put away childish things. I enrolled in a remedial writing course, English A. This course was the beginning of my career as a writer.
My instructor's name was Tracy Church-Guzzio. I was introduced to the writing process while enrolled in her course. I passed the class. I took two more English courses and met Dr. I even enrolled in a course titled, "Critical Analysis of Shakespeare. I successfully passed all of my English course work with the support of my wife. What I did not know at the time was that all of my university professors were writing project fellows.
I felt comfortable writing but I didn't feel confident. My feelings were confirmed when I failed the P. Pre-Professional Skills Test—This is a test pre-service teachers take to enroll in a teacher credential program. I failed the writing portion not once, but twice, each time by one point. This was devastating to me.
Not because I failed; it was because I failed and I had a wife that believed in me and a daughter depending on me to provide for them. I decided to consult and appeal to a higher authority. I practiced and I prayed. I asked God to help me fulfill my destiny. I gave up my own plan for my life and asked for His. It was during this time that I was able to re-write the plan for my life. I replaced my plan with His vision for me. I am far from perfect, but God continues to work on me and to reveal His plan day by day.
As you take control of the atmosphere around you, may I encourage you to be silent to see what the Lord will impress on your heart? As you sit in His presence, God-inspired thoughts will fill your mind. He will give you brilliant God-ideas that you could not come up with on your own. This is what you need to write. It may take some time to develop this new discipline of being still before God and writing the vision.
It does not happen overnight, but God blesses us in our consistency. Small consistent steps toward Him will steadily move you closer.
