Let it Go!

Let it Go! Luke 9:57-62 (KJV) 57 And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain man said unto him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. 58 And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. 59 And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. 60 Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom …

How’s Your Heart? 1 Samuel 13:1-14 13 Saul was {forty] years old when he began to reign; and when he had reigned two years over Israel, 2 Saul chose him three thousand men of Israel, whereof two thousand were with Saul in Michmash and in the mount of Beth-el, and a thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin: and the rest of the people he sent every man to his tent. 3 And Jonathan smote the garrison of the Philistines that was in Geba; and the Philistines heard of it.

The Importance of Prayer Partners

We’ll never succeed through self-reliance, because God created us to need others in our faith journey. The Importance of Prayer Partners ECCLESIASTES 4:9-12 9 Two are better than one because they have a good return for their labor. 10 For if either of them falls, the one will lift up his companion. But woe to the one who falls when there is not another to lift him up. 11 Furthermore, if two lie down together they keep warm, but how can one be warm alone? 12 And if one can overpower him who is alone, two can resist him. A …

The Watered Lilies

The Watered Lilies The MASTER stood in His garden, Among the lilies fair, Which His own right hand had planted,  And trained with tend’rest care. He looked at their snowy blossoms, And marked with observant eye That the flowers were sadly drooping, For their leaves were parched and dry. “My lilies need to be watered,” The Heavenly Master said; “Wherein shall I draw it for them, And raise each drooping head?” Close to his feet on the pathway, Empty, and frail, and small, An earthen vessel was lying, Which seemed no use at all; But the Master saw, and raised …

Tabernacle Made Without Hand

The Law was a mere foreshadow of better things which were to come. Jesus is called the high-priest of them (Levitical High Priests), to distinguish him from the high-priests under the law, who could not bring in these good things, or make the worshippers coming to the Temple perfect. Jesus Christ is the author and administrator of them all. His body and the Heavenly Tabernacle from where He came is a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; meaning the human body of Christ, and the Heavenly Tabernacle which, are …

THE ATTITUDE OF A BELIEVER

THE ATTITUDE OF A BELIEVER 1 Corinthians 15:9-11 9 For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10 But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not found vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. 11 Whether then it be I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed. The apostle Paul had a certain mindset that …

YOU NEVER GET more than one day’s journey from Christ if you come to Him every morning. Shut the world out. Get closeted with God and you will learn His secrets.

YOU NEVER GET more than one day’s journey from Christ if you come to Him every morning. Shut the world out. Get closeted with God and you will learn His secrets. I like to get up at five o’clock in the morning and turn the key and be alone, and let God talk with me. Some people say, “l cannot concentrate my thoughts. My mind just goes all over the world.” Well, that is true. There is no bigger tramp on the earth than human mind. Some of you are off in Africa now; some of you may be going …

Defense minister slams investigation ordered by UN’s top human rights body following weeks of violence along Gaza fence 05/19/2018 Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman on Saturday accused the UN Human Rights Council of becoming a “cheerleader for terrorists,” after the UN’s top human rights body ordered an investigation into the deadly violence along the Gaza border fence this week.

“And he requested for himself that he might die.” 1 Kings 19:4

“And he requested for himself that he might die.” 1 Kings 19:4 It was a remarkable thing that the man who was never to die, for whom God had ordained an infinitely better lot, the man who should be carried to heaven in a chariot of fire, and be translated, that he should not see death–should thus pray, “Let me die, I am no better than my fathers.” We have here a memorable proof that God does not always answer prayer in kind, though he always does in effect. He gave Elias something better than that which he asked for, …
