Reflections From the Psalms

by

The End Times Help, Lord; for the godly man ceases; for the faithful fail from among the children of men. They speak vanity every one with his neighbor: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak. (Ps. 12:1-2) In these last days, we are seeing the infiltration of the spirit of the enemy as never before. Among those who are not in Christ there is increasing violence, hatred, and lying. There is little restraint of evil. Indeed, more and more we are seeing the celebration of it. We might expect such things of the world. But in …

“I have exalted one chosen out of the people.”—Psalm 89:19.

by

“I have exalted one chosen out of the people.”—Psalm 89:19. WHY was Christ chosen out of the people? Speak, my heart, for heart-thoughts are best. Was it not that He might be able to be our brother, in the blest tie of kindred blood? Oh, what relationship there is between Christ and the believer! The believer can say, “I have a Brother in heaven; I may be poor, but I have a Brother who is rich, and is a King, and will He suffer me to want while He is on His throne? Oh, no! He loves me; He is my …

Trump: God’s Man of the Hour

by

Trump: God’s Man of the Hour     Pete Garcia     Unlike Barack Obama’s meteoric rise from obscurity to international stardom seemingly overnight, Donald J. Trump has been on the global stage for decades. Well-known for his global real estate empire, the Miss Universe pageants, and his hit television show “The Apprentice,” then-candidate Trump’s announcement to run for the highest political office in the United States still came as a surprise to many. Even more surprising was his seemingly impossible victory over the queen of the deep-state swamp-things. Many rightly attribute Trump’s miracle victory as just that, a miracle. …

The Great I AM

by

By David A. DePra Nine times in the gospel of John Jesus says, “I am…….” These statements are familiar to most believers. He said: I am the Way. I am the Truth. I am the Life. I am the Resurrection. I am the True Vine. I am the Bread of Life. I am the Door. I am the Good Shepherd. I am the Light. There are also numerous other, “I am….,” statements in scripture, such as, “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” etc. Each of these statements point out a particular dimension of the nature and character of Jesus …

A NEW RACE OF HUMAN…COMMENTARY ON EPHESIANS, (PT. 1)

by

A NEW RACE OF HUMAN…COMMENTARY ON EPHESIANS, (PT. 1) His (Jesus’) purpose was to make in Himself one new man (the Church) out of the two (Jew and Gentile), thus making peace and in this one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross by which He put to death their hostility. (Eph 2:15-16) The history makes it so clear. God and man simply could not dwell together. When they tried, man’s sin eventually drove God away, lest He destroy man. For a time He could allow some personal visitation as long as He kept Himself locked …

HOW TO SERVE GOD

by

Titus 3:5-8(KJV) 5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; 6 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; 7 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. 8 This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men. When …

Ephesians 1

by

Ephesians 1   1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus:   2 Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.   3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:   4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in …

“He was sore athirst, and called on the Lord, and said, thou hast given this great deliverance into the hand of thy servant: and now shall I die for thirst?” Judges 15:18

by

“He was sore athirst, and called on the Lord, and said, thou hast given this great deliverance into the hand of thy servant: and now shall I die for thirst?” Judges 15:18 Samson was thirsty and ready to die. The difficulty was totally different from any which the hero had met before. Merely to get thirst assuaged is nothing like so great a matter as to be delivered from a thousand Philistines! but when the thirst was upon him, Samson felt that little present difficulty more weighty than the great past difficulty out of which he had so specially been …

One Mediator

by

Reflections One Mediator For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus. (1 Tim 2:5) A, “mediator,” is a proxy; one who connects two parties. Jesus Christ is the sole Mediator between the believer and God. If Christ is in us, then by His very presence in us, we are joined to both Him and the Father. Now, notice what this means: It means that there must NEVER be anyone or anything introduced into our relationship with God who acts as ANOTHER mediator. There are no mediators in addition to Christ – there …

Revelation Message 60 All Who Enter The Kingdom are Saved

by

Now when the population enter the Messianic Kingdom each one will have experienced true regeneration. Not easy beliefism. There is a major distinction. One is simply lip service and the other is a fully changed heart toward God coupled with repentance. In fact when the entire Nation Israel is “Saved” there will be a national confession of their sins, which will last for two days (Hosea 6:1-3)! So the entire Nation of Israelites who confess their sins and believe that Jesus is who He said He was go into the Kingdom. All others die and some even by their own family’s …

In Your Anger Do Not Sin

by

A Bible Study by Jack Kelley “In your anger do not sin. Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold (Ephesians 4:26).” This is the verse the Lord impressed upon my heart as I was asking for a topic for this article. It’s familiar to anyone who has ever experienced any Christian counseling, and like many Bible verses it bears closer examination. Translations differ slightly in rendering this passage and the Greek contains some interesting insights, but Paul was quoting from Psalm 4 where the intent of the …

The Trial of Faith

by

Reflections From the Psalms Why standest thou afar off, O Lord? why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble? (Ps. 10:1) One of the traits of any trial of faith is that it will seem as if God is indeed, “afar off.” It will often seem like He is indifferent. Perhaps the greatest trauma in any trial of faith is the sense that, for reasons unknown to us, God has forsaken us. We may cry, “Why are you hiding Yourself from me, Lord?” Of course, God has not forsaken us. Neither is He hiding Himself from us. The problem, therefore, …
