Satan Tried To Stop Messiah From Arriving As we celebrate the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ to this earth it is important that we become aware of the intense heavenly struggles that took place to block His arrival. Satan has made many attempts to stop our Lord from arriving on earth as a man to accomplish His task. Christ delivered us from Satan’s slavery to living freedom when we believe in Him as our savior. The measure of the wealth of God’s unmerited favor to every believer is the cost of Christ’s blood. It was accomplished not “out of” …

If we go with Jesus we must be content to fare as He fares; and when the waves are rough to Him, they will be …

The scenario, to some degree, could have been something like what we all have experienced. Present was a man, obviously impaired by the fact that he could not see – he was totally blind. For those who can see, there is a temptation to immediately help. We think …

Gerar was near the coast about 12 miles south of Gaza and about 50 miles south of Hebron, in the land of the Philistines (Genesis 21:34). So Gerar is located in the Gaza Strip, which has historically been the domain of the Philistines. They were from the line of Ham (Noah’s second son) while Abraham was from the line of Shem (Noah’s first and most righteous son. Abraham tells the king of Gerar that Sarah is his sister, a half-truth at best and really just another lie. The last time he did that (Genesis 12) he sought to protect himself from …
