Handwritten

by

Dr. Mike Murphy MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN I can only imagine what it must of been like that night so many years ago for Daniel to see these words. The thoughts that must have come to his mind as he read those words. And the reality of what speaking those words to the king must have told him. Belshazzar had grown up in the palace, and probably thought he had seen it all. But nothing could have prepared him for what he saw that night. Belshazzar was the grandson of Nebuchadnezzar, the long ruling king of Babylon. His father, Nabonidus, …

Praying With Faith

by

Mark 11:20-24 20 And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. 21 And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away. 22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. 23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever …

Tearing Of The Temple Curtain: Why Was This Significant?

by

by JACK WELLMAN When Jesus died on the cross, the temple curtain (also known as the temple veil) was torn. Why did this happen? What was the significance of the veil being torn and why was it torn from the top down? The Temple Curtain’s Purpose The veil was a long, woven curtain that was purple, scarlet and blue. This curtain or veil was for the purpose of separating the Most Holy Place which held the Ark of the Covenant and the Mercy Seat. Sitting on top of the Ark was a gold lid. This was the place for the …

Does God Let Your Prayers Go Unanswered?

by

In my fifty years of leadership and teaching at Dallas Theological Seminary I saw many dramatic answers to prayer. But I have also seen many of my prayers go unanswered. The answered prayers have built my faith, strengthened my walk with God, and given me hope in the midst of perplexing problems. But the silence of God creates tension for me. I find God’s silence difficult or sometimes impossible to explain. Is God Really Silent? Because of this tension, I have done a great deal of thinking and a great deal of Scripture-searching. I want to know why the same …

Spirit and Truth

by

Reflections The hour comes and now is, when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeks such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. (John 4:23-24) What did Jesus mean when He said that God must be worshiped, “in Spirit and in Truth?” He was answering a question. The woman at the well had just asked Him which was the right place to worship: Samaria or Jerusalem? (John 4:20) Jesus insisted that the group to which we belong, or …

The Fullness of the Gentiles 

by

Pete Garcia   For I do not want you, brethren, to be uninformed of this mystery– so that you will not be wise in your own estimation– that a partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in;  Romans 11:25 How do we know we are living in the last days?  Aside from negative effects of sin being unleashed and amplified across the planet, there is the ‘body of Christ’ itself as a testimony to the times in which we live. Theologians and Bible scholars have long debated what exactly the ‘fullness of the Gentiles’ meant, as …

The Anointing

by

Reflections These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you. But the anointing which you have received of him abides in you, and you need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teaches you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it has taught you, ye shall abide in him. (1 John 2:26-27) Today many are teaching about, “the anointing.” They claim that this, “anointing,” is TRANSFERABLE. In other words, if you want to be touched by this anointing, you must come to them, or support their …
