Everyone was burned by this blast of heat, and they cursed the name of God, who had control over all these plagues. They did not repent of their sins and turn to God and give him glory.
They cursed God because of the terrible plague of the hailstorm.
The kings of the world have committed adultery with her, and the people who belong to this world have been made drunk by the wine of her immorality.”
For your merchants were the greatest in the world,
and you deceived the nations with your sorceries.
Worship only God. For the essence of prophecy is to give a clear witness for Jesus.
And the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who did mighty miracles on behalf of the beast—miracles that deceived all who had accepted the mark of the beast and who worshiped his statue.
Outside the city are the dogs—the sorcerers, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idol worshipers, and all who love to live a lie.
May the grace of the Lord Jesus be with God’s holy people.
Lord God,
May I only curse the evil which is around me and only give you glory, glory of your love for me, a love that disciplines and makes me aware of the wrong that lives in me. Lord God, have your way with me and purify me so I may live in your glory, not the so called glory of this world. Protect me and keep me under your authority, not the authority of this world.
In Jesus name,
Amen
