SCRIPTURE READING: Revelations 12: 1-16
1 Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars. 2 Then being with child, she cried out in labor and in pain to give birth.
3 And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great, fiery red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems on his heads. 4 His tail drew a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to give birth, to devour her Child as soon as it was born.
5 She bore a male Child who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron. And her Child was caught up to God and His throne. 6 Then the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that they should feed her there one thousand two hundred and sixty days.
7 And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, 8 but they [a]did not prevail, nor was a place found for [b]them in heaven any longer. 9 So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
10 Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, “Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down. 11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.
12 Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time.”
13 Now when the dragon saw that he had been cast to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male Child. 14 But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent.
15 So the serpent spewed water out of his mouth like a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away by the flood. 16 But the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the flood which the dragon had spewed out of his mouth.
FOCUS VERSE: “And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.” (Revelations 12: 4)

Prior to our Focal Scripture, the woman was in tears and in travail, waiting to bring forth her child. The dragon was also waiting for the woman to birth her child so that it could be devoured. If the dragon succeeded in devouring the child, it would have been a case of crying in pain because she was about to be delivered of her child, and then, crying because she lost her child. She would have moved from tears to more tears.
Friend, hear me as I hear the Lord: you will not cry bitter tears. You will not move from tears to more tears. You will not move from tears arising from your efforts, to another set of tears arising from what the enemy has done successfully against you. You will not be the victim of misfortunes that will lead to tears and more tears. You will not be a victim of tragedies that will lead to bitter tears. You won’t suffer experiences that birth bitter tears.
That woman cried in pain while trying to give birth to her child, but she did not cry again afterwards. Hear me as I hear the Lord: whatever you have already cried about, you will not cry about it again. Whatever has already made you cry will not make you cry again. Powers that want you to cry again and again, I decree, you are not their candidate. Powers that say you will move from tears to more tears, I decree, they will not prevail.
Jesus did not redeem you into a covenant of perpetual tears. Jesus did not redeem you so that you can cry every day. The redemption by the blood of Jesus shuts the doors on negativity. If it is not of God, don’t just cry about it in pain and pity; cry to God about it. Don’t excite and entertain the enemy with your tears. Don’t accept to cry bitter tears. Don’t allow the doors of bitter tears to be opened in your life. Say no to bitter tears.
It may be okay to shed tears of pain when you are travailing in the course of birth, but it is not okay to still shed bitter tears after you have brought forth.
Philippians 2: 27 says: “For indeed he was sick nigh unto death: but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow.”
DECLARATION: I will not move from tears to tears, in Jesus’ name!
