Inner Qualities   1 Samuel 16:11 11 Then Samuel asked, “Are these all the sons you have?” “There is still the youngest,” Jesse replied. “But he’s out in the fields watching the sheep and goats.” “Send for him at once,” Samuel said. “We will not sit down to eat until he arrives.” 1 Samuel 17:34-35 34 But David persisted. “I have been taking care of my father’s sheep and goats,” he said. “When a lion or a bear comes to steal a lamb from the flock, 35 I go after it with a club and rescue the lamb from its …

[“Men indeed swear by the greater, and an oath for confirmation is for them an end of all dispute. Thus God, determining to show more abundantly to the heirs of promise the immutability of His counsel, confirmed by an oath, that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us. This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters the Presence behind the veil, where the forerunner has entered …

Here is a precious truth for thee, believer. Thou mayest be poor, or in suffering, or unknown, but for thine encouragement take a review of thy “calling” and the consequences that flow from it, and especially that blessed result here spoken of. As surely as thou art God’s child today, so surely shall all thy trials soon be at an end, and thou shalt be rich to all the intents of bliss. Wait awhile, and that weary head shall wear the crown of glory, and that hand of labour shall grasp the palm-branch of victory. Lament not thy troubles, but …

In this 28th message of the book of Revelation Dr. Woodhead explains the nature of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse and each of their roles. One is the Antichrist, One is taking all peace from the earth, One is bring disease, and One brings famine and economic collapse. The tribulation saints who lost their lives ask, “How Long Lord?”    

from “According to Christ,” by T. Austin-Sparks   What, in the thought of God do Christians exist for? What does the Church exist for? What do local churches exist for? There is only one answer. The existence and the function is to be an expression of Christ. There is nothing less and nothing more than that. Christ is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end, and all between! Let that be the starting-point; let that be the governing rule and reality in ALL MATTERS of life and work, and see at once the nature and vocation of …

By Dr. Tony Garland SpiritandTruth.org Q. Could you comment on this article by Jack Kelley which maintains that only the Church has been promised eternal security [such that believers of other ages can lose their salvation]? This is a question that I’ve struggled with. A. Before discussing the matter of security, I’d like to comment on aspects of the interpretation of the two parables in the article. Concerning the parable of the Wedding Feast (Mat. 22:1-14) Kelley holds that the man found without a wedding garment originally had one, but lost it: “…the guest who was escorted out had been …

In this video Dr Woodhead discusses Jesus opening the first seal on the scroll which brings the rider on the white horse into the earth. This is the coming world leader commonly called the Antichrist, the treaty he makes with the leaders of Israel and how God views it.  

Reflections                                    If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, you shall ask what you will, and it shall be done unto you. (John 15:7) You will note that this promise begins with the word, “IF.” Jesus promised that, “IF we abide in Him, and HIS words abide in us, THEN, you shall ask what you will, and it shall be done unto you.” Well, if the words of Christ abide in us – which means His Truth is living in …

1 Samuel 16:1-11(KJV) 16 And the Lord said unto Samuel, How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? fill thine horn with oil, and go, I will send thee to Jesse the Bethlehemite: for I have provided me a king among his sons. 2 And Samuel said, How can I go? if Saul hear it, he will kill me. And the Lord said, Take an heifer with thee, and say, I am come to sacrifice to the Lord. 3 And call Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will shew thee what thou …

  As we all know, ALL is inclusive of everything with not one thing left out. All lacks nothing. It is complete. With that in mind, I saw how in Colossians 1:15-23, the word ALL appears nine times referring to the Lord Jesus Christ. Can there be any doubt as to the place and supremacy of Christ alone! 1:15&16 “…firstborn of ALL creation because in Him were created ALL things..” 1:16 “…ALL things through Him and for Him have been created.” 1:17 “And He is before ALL things and in Him ALL things consist” 1:18 “… so that in ALL …

Reflections   I am the vine, you are the branches: He that abides in me, and I in him, the same brings forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. (John 15:5)   To ABIDE in Christ as a branch is possible only if I am first IN HIM. But once that is so, I have to live FROM HIM – I have to live drawing upon His life. Of course this is done by faith. But it also requires that I lose my life. Christ cannot be my life if I am still alive in myself. Jesus …

Reflections   But you shall receive power because the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and you shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. (Acts 1:8) What did Jesus say, in John chap.14- 16, would be the work of the Holy Spirit? The work of the Holy Spirit is to reveal Jesus Christ TO us, IN us, and through us. In other words, once Christ dwells in us by joining us to Himself through the Holy Spirit, the work of that Spirit is to …
