Where am I doing _____________ in my walk with Jesus and
where do I ___________________?
The ______________________.
“To the angel of the church in Smyrna write: These are the words of
him who is the First and the Last, who died and came to life again.”
“I know your afflictions and your poverty-- yet you are rich! I know
the slander of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a
synagogue of Satan.”
Jesus is watching ___________________, he’s watching you
and ________.
How are you doing with _____________?
10 Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer. I tell you, the
devil will put some of you in prison to test you, and you will suffer
persecution for ten days. Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I
will give you the crown of life. 11
He who has an ear, let him hear

hurt at all by the second death.”
