Then the angel carried me away in the Spirit to a desert. There I saw a woman sitting on a bright red beast that was covered with names that said insulting things about God. The beast had seven heads and ten horns.
On the first day of the week we met with the believers to share a meal. Paul spoke to the people, and because he was planning to leave the next day, he kept on talking until midnight.
On the first day of every week, each of you should put some money aside. The amount should be in keeping with how much you’ve made. Save up the money so you won’t have to take an offering when I come.
On the evening of that first day of the week, the disciples were gathered together. They had locked the doors because they were afraid of the Jewish leaders. Jesus came in and stood among them. He said, “May peace be with you!”
A week later, Jesus’ disciples were in the house again. This time Thomas was with them. Even though the doors were locked, Jesus came in and stood among them. He said, “May peace be with you!”
So I want you to know that anyone who’s speaking with the help of God’s Spirit never says, “May Jesus be cursed.” And without the help of the Holy Spirit, no one can say, “Jesus is Lord.”
