2. Lectio (eat the scroll)

When the Spirit of Truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth… and he will declare to you the things that are to come. He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you.” (John 16:13–14)

Holy Spirit is here to release revelation to your Spirit. Nothing matters more than what He has planned for this time.

Read the below scripture portion slowly and out loud.

Use your imagination to picture yourself as part of the setting.

Resist the temptation to analyze or judge the text or use the text to develop a message for someone else.

Listen as if God were speaking directly to you. He is.

The one sitting on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war. His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems, and he has a name written that no one knows but himself. He is clothed in a robe dipped in blood, and the name by which he is called is The Word of God. And the armies of heaven, arrayed in fine linen, white and pure, were following him on white horses. From his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and he will rule them with a rod of iron. He will tread the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty. On his robe and on his thigh he has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords. Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, and with a loud voice he called to all the birds that fly directly overhead, “Come, gather for the great supper of God, to eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all men, both free and slave, both small and great.” And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth with their armies gathered to make war against him who was sitting on the horse and against his army. And the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who in its presence had done the signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped its image. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur. And the rest were slain by the sword that came from the mouth of him who was sitting on the horse, and all the birds were gorged with their flesh. (Re 19:11–21)

Read the first portion again, slowly, pausing to let the words sink deeply into your mind and heart.

Ruminate on this Word. God has an appointed hour when Jesus will return in great glory with the armies of heaven. Every eye will see Him coming on the clouds of heaven. He will defeat the forces of evil with a single word and consummate God’s kingdom on earth forever. How does this knowledge influence your perspective on your present circumstances?

As His living Word flows, give your attention to it.

Without overspiritualizing, what does God seem to be saying to you?

Ask and listen for more of what He’s saying.

Linger quietly, patiently in His Presence.

As He speaks, yield fully to him. If you notice resistance, rebellion, defiance, or trepidation in your heart, repent of these things and yield your heart without reservation to Him. Ask for His help.

Entrust your past, present, and future to the Lord in light of what he has spoken.
