Revelation 5:5-10
5:5 But one of the elders said to me, "Do not weep. Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the scroll and to loose its seven seals."
5:6 And I looked, and behold, in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as though it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent out into all the earth.
5:7 Then He came and took the scroll out of the right hand of Him who sat on the throne.
5:8 Now when He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.
5:9 And they sang a new song, saying: "You are worthy to take the scroll, And to open its seals; For You were slain, And have redeemed us to God by Your blood Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation,
5:10 And have made us kings and priests to our God;And we shall reign on the earth."

Who can receive the revelation of the Word of God?

Revelation 5:6

52:11 Depart! Depart! Go out from there,Touch no unclean thing;Go out from the midst of her,Be clean,You who bear the vessels of the Lord.
52:12 For you shall not go out with haste,Nor go by flight;For the Lord will go before you,And the God of Israel will beyour rear guard.

Daniel 6:19-20
6:19 Then the king arose very early in the morning and went in haste to the den of lions.
6:20 And when he came to the den, he cried out with a lamenting voice to Daniel. The king spoke, saying to Daniel, "Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God, whom you serve continually, been able to deliver you from the lions?"

The proof is that we confess that we are just as the clay. We confess that we are unworthy and have many weaknessess. We confess that we are small and powerless, so we only depend on God's great merciful and faithful hands. It will encourage us to always kneel before His feet. We worship God with a contrite heart. We only cry out and surrender to Him, so He will be merciful to stretch out His hands to us.

15:25 Then she came and worshiped Him, saying, "Lord, help me!"
15:26 But He answered and said, "It is not good to take the children's bread and throw itto the little dogs."
15:27 And she said, "Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters' table."
15:28 Then Jesus answered and said to her, "O woman, great isyour faith! Let it be to you as you desire." And her daughter was healed from that very hour.
