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.

From his presence earth and sky fled away, and no place was found for them. 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 the sea gave up the dead who were in it, Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them, and they were judged, each one of them, according to what they had done. Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. And if anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire. (Re 20:11–15)

3. Meditatio (meditate)

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

Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. From his presence earth and sky fled away, and no place was found for them. 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 if anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire. (Re 20:11–15)

Ruminate on this Word. Father God has given all judgment into the hands of Jesus (Jn. 5:22), our Redeemer. How does this knowledge shape your perspective on your life right now.

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

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

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.
