Reflections When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, “Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?” And they said, “Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.” He said unto them, “But whom say ye that I am?” (Matt. 16:13-15) In the final analysis, it does not matter — to our relationship with God — what other people say about Jesus Christ. It does not matter even if they give the right answer. What matters is what WE say and …

Pastor J.D. talks about how Trump’s temporary travel ban is bringing the world to the boiling point geopolitically and as such prophetically.
For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.” 2 Corinthians 1:5 There is a blessed proportion. The Ruler of Providence bears a pair of scales–in this side he puts his people’s trials, and in that he puts their consolations. When the scale of trial is nearly empty, you will always find the scale of consolation in nearly the same condition; and when the scale of trials is full, you will find the scale of consolation just as heavy. When the black clouds gather most, the light is the more brightly revealed to …
And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. (Rom. 8:10) This is another way of describing the separation in each believer between the new creature in Christ and all that remains outside of that new creation — and remains carnal. When we are saved, we are planted into His death – and we find that our body of sin is dead because of His death for our sin. We are also planted into His resurrection, and this joining of our spirit with Christ makes us alive with …
Reflections But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. (2 Cor 4:7) This is another picture of, “Christ in us, the hope of glory.” (Col. 1:27) But it is a picture that stresses the distinction between ourselves and Christ. He is the Treasure and we are the earthen vessel. We will never be the Treasure. Indeed, even while Christ is in us, and we are one with Him in spirit, He remains distinct. He carries all of the value. We are privileged to receive and experience …
By Joe Southerland The Greek word, nikao only appears 24 times in the Bible. Of those few uses, the apostle John selected the emphatic and powerful word nikao twenty one times to weave a biblical golden thread linking the centrality of Christ with the dramatic struggles during the most pivotal end times events. Nikao means to literally or figuratively conquer, prevail, get the victory or overcome. In the KJV Bible, the most common translation of the word is “overcome.” The Greek verb nikao, from the root noun nike (victory) appears only once in the New Testament, but we shall include …
That no flesh should glory in his presence. But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: That, according as it is written, He that glories, let him glory in the Lord. (1 Cor. 1:29-31) Passages like this one are intended by God to show us that Christianity is not a matter of us being made to look like Jesus. Rather, it is a matter of us being crucified so that the Christ who is in us might be seen. God does not make us, or give …
“And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus. And he was three days without sight, and neither did eat nor drink” (Acts 9:8,9 KJV). A blind man… who can see! Saul of Tarsus, filled with religious pride and hatred, eager to persecute Messianic Jews, was heading toward Damascus. A bright light from heaven suddenly shown about him; he said many years later in Acts 22:11, “I could not see for the glory of that light.” That light was “above the …
To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. (I Pet. 5:11) Jesus Christ, through His Redemption, has won every victory that there is to win, including victory over the ultimate enemy, death. Thus, Jesus Christ has been given all dominion – over all things. This reveals to us the Truth about any possible victory that we could experience in the Christian life: In order to OVERCOME the enemy, we must COME UNDER Jesus Christ as Lord. In short, we have to surrender to the winning side. When we, “humble ourselves under the mighty hand of God,” we …
Reflections From the Psalms Have mercy upon me, O Lord; for I am weak: O Lord, heal me; for my bones are vexed. My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O Lord, how long? Return, O Lord, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies’ sake. (Ps. 6:2-4) When we are brought to the end of our rope, and come to a complete despair over ourselves, it is not because God has forsaken us. Rather, it is because God is showing us the Truth: There is no hope in ourselves. Indeed, left to ourselves, we would indeed have …
Reflections I beseech you, brethren, because of the mercies of God, that you present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. (Rom. 12:1) There is no other place God will bring us if we want to walk in the Truth and come into the fullness of Jesus Christ except what is described in Romans 12:1. However, you will note that the tone is not morbid or depressing. Rather, it is positive — Paul’s appeal is, “because of the mercies of God,” and not because of some threat of punishment if we …
In this passage of Scripture God Tells the Jews through the prophet Ezekiel that He has had enough of their sins. He goes on to tell them that doom is coming upon Jerusalem and all the land of Israel. Seeing how God only tolerates sin in a nation for so long before He brings judgment, we must ask: Can America’s judgment be coming soon? Ezekiel Told To Alert The Idolaters to What is Coming Massacre of the Innocents by Peter Paul Rubens 1610 Ezekiel 6:11 11Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Smite with thy hand, and stamp with thy foot, and say, …
When God is Silent One of the most difficult seasons in the life of a Christian is when God seems SILENT. And the fact is, those seasons when God seems silent are usually when we think we need Him to speak the most. God is usually silent to us when we are in a trial. Indeed, I have found that the silence of God, and my inability to understand Him can, in itself, become a greater trial than any circumstances. Actually, what I am describing is THE TRIAL OF FAITH. A trial of faith, when everything is said and done, …
