RECEIVE THE MARK OF MERCY

Read Revelations 9
Revelation 7:3 NCV - He said to them, “Do not harm the land or the sea or the trees until we MARK WITH A SIGN THE FOREHEADS OF THE PEOPLE WHO SERVE OUR GOD.”
Revelation 9:3-4 NCV - Then locusts came down to the earth out of the smoke, and they were given the power to sting like scorpions. 4 They were told not to harm the grass on the earth or any plant or tree. They could harm only THE PEOPLE WHO DID NOT HAVE THE SIGN OF GOD ON THEIR FOREHEADS.
Revelation 13:13-17 MSG
This second Beast worked magical signs, dazzling people by making fire come down from Heaven. It used the magic it got from the Beast to dupe earth dwellers, getting them to make an image of the Beast that received the deathblow and lived. It was able to animate the image of the Beast so that it talked, and then arrange that anyone not worshiping the Beast would be killed. It forced all people, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to have a mark on the right hand or forehead. WITHOUT THE MARK OF THE NAME OF THE BEAST OR THE NUMBER OF ITS NAME, IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO BUY OR SELL ANYTHING.
Many have heard of the “ MARK OF THE BEAST”(without which there will be no buying or selling in the last days, and with which many will be led to hell, but not many have been told of the MARK OF GOD’S MERCY( also known as the sign of God which spares those who humbly serve Him- ). Just as unrepentance from sin and evil can easily justify and qualify people to receive the mark of satan and eternal damnation, repentance and a change of heart can justify and qualify people to receive the mark of God’s mercy.
You see, the wrath of God is coming. It is evidenced by the many deadly diseases, plagues and expensive sicknesses that are killing people these days. God’s wrath is coming upon all those who do not fear Him nor obey and do His will. But to those who receive His teachings and wisdom, evidenced by a change of heart and ways, He will show mercy and spare from evil.
Ask to receive the mark of God’s mercy today. He loves you and wants to ensure your escape from torture in this life and in the world to come. You don’t have to subscribe to the mark of the beast before you can be assured of your daily bread. God’s mark of mercy can insure you so well that even in a world of so much hardship and difficulty, you can be well catered for as you love and serve God. Asking to receive the mark of God’s mercy will position you for a journey of obedience to God, one that will lead you into the freedom of enjoying God’s promises for your life.
Job 36:11 AMPC - If they obey and serve Him, they shall spend their days in prosperity and their years in pleasantness and joy.
Prayer: Dear God, thank You. I have often heard about the mark of the beast, but not so much about the mark of Your mercy. I’m so glad to find out that you can actually choose me and put a mark in my body, signifying that I belong to You. Please Lord, help me to obey and serve you always, in Jesus name, as I receive the mark of Your mercy. Amen.
