The Lamb Who Would Be King - Resolved 2010: Al Mohler

"Jesus will reign! Jesus is King! And all the royal imagery of Revelation 19 is a reminder to us that God will vindicate His Name and holiness and will satisfy His righteousness. He will pour out His wrath upon scoffers, rejecters, deniers, unbelievers of the Cross, persecutors of the faithful, those who murdered the martyrs, the subverters of His truth, those who attacked and rejected His church, those who perverted His Gospel, and seduced His people, the devil, Satan, demons, the beast! All these will be destroyed! The arch enemies of God, but not only they, also the small as well as the great! The victory of God in Christ over sin and death and the curse will be fully revealed, and all will be defeated. There will be war! This is the one who rides a horse, who comes to judge and to make war!

And all of this is a reminder to us that history is not headed toward some indefinite end, but under the sovereignty of God is headed toward this. As you think of Jesus the King, and as the kingship of Jesus comes in this horrifying picture, the picture we are given by the grace and mercy of God so that we will know it and we will fear it." - Al Mohler, "The Lamb Who Would Be King" - Resolved 2010 : Jesus

By David Campbell in "Heart Cries to Heaven"

Our great and Gracious God,

As we come to the close of another year, we would indeed make it the prayer of our hearts that you would abide with us.

We thank you that you have been with us through the days of this past year.

Perhaps many a day we have not felt you near,
Perhaps at times we have even felt that you have
forsaken us and forgotten us but we thank you
that it has never been so.

We thank you that you are constantly with your people, and that you have enabled us to persevere in grace,
You have comforted our hearts,
You have heard our prayers,
You have come so often to our aid.
We pray that you will go with us into this new year.


There is none of us who knows what the new year will hold, but we thank you that every moment of that year is in your hands, and you will be with your people.
We thank you that with that promise girding us, we can go forward with confidence and in your peace. We pray that you will help us to walk with you in this new year better than we have ever done before. Forgive us, Lord, for our sins and our backslidings of this past year.


Grant to us, as the days of the new year unfold, an ever closer walk with you.
Help us to put sin to death,
Help us gladly yield our lives unreservedly to Jesus Christ, our Savior, and God that we may regard ourselves entirely at his disposal to be, to go, to do, as he would wish

We pray that it may be our privilege to serve him,
to bring glory to him, to help others to know him better, and to help some, indeed, to come to know him for the first time.


Have mercy, we pray, upon those connected with us who come to the end of this year and their hearts are still closed against you, still hardening their hearts against you.

Spare them, O God, we pray; spare them! Grant that this new year would mark the beginning of new life in Jesus Christ. We are so thankful for the almighty Holy Sprit, for his limitless power
to bring conviction of sin,
to give new birth,
and to draw those who are away from you
to faith and to repentance.
We pray, Lord, that you would do that in the hearts and lives of all who are upon our hearts.

For Jesus’ sake,
Amen.
