40 – New Jerusalem, Mediator of New Covenant
The blessings that come to the New-Covenant people are more blessed since they are heavenly. This is the heavenly city. This is the city in Heaven that will be the place where we will live. This is the place of dwelling of all the redeemed. John the apostle recorded what Jesus spoke about this city in two places. First, where Jesus is now preparing a place. John 14:2–3 2 In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare …
God’s Faithfulness and Provision – by Hal Lindsey
God’s Faithfulness and Provision – by Hal Lindsey We have now produced more than 700 editions of “The Hal Lindsey Report.” We have been on the air, worldwide, for almost 13 years. There is no doubt that God miraculously raised up “The Hal Lindsey Report” for these times. We launched “The Hal Lindsey Report” in February, 2006. At the end of 2005, through circumstances beyond my control, I found myself without a weekly television program for the first time in almost a decade. I had produced “The International Intelligence Briefing” at Trinity Broadcasting Network since the mid-’90s. But now, I …
Understanding Your Call
Understanding Your Call Mark 8:34-35 34 And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. 35 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel’s, the same shall save it. I like to use the word believer when talking about God’s children, as it specifically refers to those who have trusted Jesus Christ as Savior. That is a much smaller population than those …
Just As I Am ~ Hymn Story
In 1828, at the age of 32, Charlotte Elliott suffered a serious illness that left her an invalid. This caused depression, and a severe spiritual crisis. A Swiss evangelist was visiting her family, and she told him that she didn’t know how to come to Christ. He told her, “Come to him just as you are.” Her depression continued, however. Twelve years later, she was still distressed by her uselessness as an invalid. She decided she needed to meet her spiritual troubles head on and conquer them by the grace of God. She wrote down her own formula of faith, …
A Lot of Grace
A Lot of Grace Job 17 Job Continues to Defend His Innocence 17 “My spirit is crushed, and my life is nearly snuffed out. The grave is ready to receive me. 2 I am surrounded by mockers. I watch how bitterly they taunt me. 3 “You must defend my innocence, O God, since no one else will stand up for me. 4 You have closed their minds to understanding, but do not let them triumph. 5 They betray their friends for their own advantage, so let their children faint with hunger. 6 “God has made a mockery of me among …
Godly sorrow worketh repentance.” 2 Corinthians 7:10
Godly sorrow worketh repentance.” 2 Corinthians 7:10 Genuine, spiritual mourning for sin is the work of the Spirit of God. Repentance is too choice a flower to grow in nature’s garden. Pearls grow naturally in oysters, but penitence never shows itself in sinners except divine grace works it in them. If thou hast one particle of real hatred for sin, God must have given it thee, for human nature’s thorns never produced a single fig. “That which is born of the flesh is flesh.” True repentance has a distinct reference to the Saviour. When we repent of sin, we must …
Simple Kind Of Man
Dr. Mike Murphy “It made me greatly ashamed of the vileness of my former life, and confounded me with the sense of mine own ignorance; for there never came thought into mine heart before now that showed me so the beauty of Jesus Christ. It made me love a holy life, and long to do something for the honour and glory of the name of the Lord Jesus. Yea, I thought that had I now a thousand gallons of blood in my body, I could spill it all for the sake of the Lord Jesus.“ Who do you think wrote …
The Coalition Invasion of Israel
The Bible is not explicit regarding the precise dates upon which most future end time events will occur. It does however give the observant student of the Scriptures a sequential chronology of those events. Christ for example, wanted His followers to know certain aspects of the end time events so they would not be caught unaware of them if they unfolded during their lifetime. He did not tell exactly when they would take place. In fact he clearly stated that the exact date would not be known (Matt 24:36). Christ clearly explained the events leading up to the great final …
Letting Go to God
Letting Go to God Jacob was left alone; and a man wrestled with him until the breaking of the day. And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob’s thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him. (Gen. 32:24-25) Jacob would not let go – he would not abandon himself, or lose himself to God by faith. He relied on his natural strength. So God broke his natural strength. For us, this means that God will NEVER allow our natural man to succeed in wrestling …
The Meaning of the Cross
The Meaning of the Cross Matthew 27:11-26 Jesus before Pilate 11 Now Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor questioned Him, saying, “Are You the King of the Jews?” And Jesus said to him, “It is as you say.” 12 And while He was being accused by the chief priests and elders, He did not answer. 13 Then Pilate *said to Him, “Do You not hear how many things they testify against You?” 14 And He did not answer him with regard to even a single charge, so the governor was quite amazed. 15 Now at the feast the …
“Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens.” Lamentations 3:41
“Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens.” Lamentations 3:41 The act of prayer teaches us our unworthiness, which is a very salutary lesson for such proud beings as we are. If God gave us favours without constraining us to pray for them we should never know how poor we are, but a true prayer is an inventory of wants, a catalogue of necessities, a revelation of hidden poverty. While it is an application to divine wealth, it is a confession of human emptiness. The most healthy state of a Christian is to be …
The Rapture
“For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words.” – 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 In the passage above, Paul spells out the chronological sequence of the Rapture in seven stages. First, “the Lord Himself will descend from heaven.” At …
