Summary
As we wrap up our week on God’s heart to meet with man, today we’ll look at the encouraging story of John on the island of Patmos. Right when we think we’re unusable, a season is too dry or we’re past our prime, God comes and speaks fresh life and vision. If you find yourself like John on Patmos today, I pray God brings a new word of courage and life to you despite your season.
Our Scripture for today comes from Revelation 1:17-19, and today's worship is Communion by Bryan McCleery.

Faith doesn’t happen on its own. It’s a byproduct of time spent experiencing the faithfulness of our God. It’s a gift given to us by the Giver of good gifts, himself.
It was a supernatural faith that allowed Paul to sing even while in chains. It was supernatural faith that allowed Peter to proclaim the gospel, even unto death. And it’s supernatural faith that will carry you to and through the greatest gospel opportunities in front of you.
We pray our printed devotionals, Faith and Trust, help people like you experience the life changing reality that faith and trust have on your everyday life.
With Faith you’ll:
- Discover a Biblical framework for living faithfully
- Study powerful moments of God’s faithfulness in scripture
- Tear down personal strongholds in your life where you struggle with faith
- Develop a lifestyle of faith, that weathers the storms of life
And every dollar you give today goes to help more people like you experience the nearness and love of our God.
Everything changes when we learn to trust and become filled with faith in our good, good God. Get your copy at supportfirst15.org!

| 0:44.8 | The scripture for today comes from Revelation 1 verses 17 through 19. God's word says, |
| 0:52.1 | When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead, but he laid his right hand on me saying, |
| 0:59.1 | fear not, I am the first in the last in the living one. I died and behold I am alive forever |

| 1:15.1 | those that are and those that are to take place after this. |
| 1:22.1 | The story of John receiving the book of Revelation from Jesus brings tears to my eyes. I imagine |
| 1:29.3 | an isolated, weary and lonely John on Patmos, spending his days waiting until he gets to be |
| 1:37.1 | with his beloved Jesus again. I imagine his heart yearning just to see his friend and |

| 2:05.2 | saying, Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking to me and on turning I saw seven |
| 2:11.8 | golden lamestands. And in the midst of the lamestands, one like a son of man, clothed with |
| 2:18.0 | a long robe and with a golden sash around his chest. The hairs of his head were white |
| 2:24.3 | like wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire. His feet were like burnished |
