That enemy is going to work hard to make you feel worthless.. Insecure.. Defeated.. and a down right Failure.. But God takes us JUST AS WE ARE.. Broken and Lost.. Insecure and Bruised..

That someone has more or is more.. Your story is yours.. Your growth is yours.. Keep those eyes on Him.. Devote your life to honoring His Holy name.. Stand against …

93 The Millennial Temple Inner Court

The Angel of the Lord who showed Ezekiel the Temple now brings him across the outer court to the inner court by the south gate. They now enter the inner court by way of the large inner gate on the south side going out of the outer court. This gate has the same dimensions as the three on the Outer court. Once inside the inner court we see alcoves in the walls of the inner courtyard. This was also the case with the measurements of the guard-rooms, pillars, and wall-projections, and with the position of the windows, and the length and …

“The Life of Elijah”

“Faith views the One who orders our circumstances, hope looks beyond the present scene, patience gives strength to endure trials, and love delights in Him whom no circumstances affect. While Elijah set the Lord before him he feared not though a host encamped against him. But when he looked upon the creature and contemplated his peril he thought more of his own safety than of God’s cause. To be occupied with circumstances is to walk by sight, and that is fatal both to our peace and spiritual prosperity. However unpleasant or desperate be our circumstances, God is able to preserve …

Confident in the Lord’s Power

1 Kings 17:17–19 17 Some time later the woman’s son became sick. He grew worse and worse, and finally he died. 18 Then she said to Elijah, “O man of God, what have you done to me? Have you come here to point out my sins and kill my son?” 19 But Elijah replied, “Give me your son.” And he took the child’s body from her arms, carried him up the stairs to the room where he was staying, and laid the body on his bed. She stands there, tears streaming down her face, holding the body of her son …

“The Snare of Service”

“If we have not learned to worship God in the secret place, we cannot do so in public assembly. If we are not ourselves really following Christ, walking and communing with Him, it is but mockery to speak of Him to others. If our “service” for Christ is robbing us of the time so urgently needed for the cultivation of our personal “vineyard,” then it is a snare and a curse to us……Let not the reader conclude from what has been said that the writer is opposed to either public worship or the Christian’s being engaged in any good works …

Genesis Message 33 Table of Nations SHEM

In the Bible Shem is presented last in the genealogies of Noah’s sons even though he was the first-born. The Hebrew is very emphatic in stating that this line would provide a blessing (Genesis 9:26). Genesis 9: 26 And he said, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Shem; And let Canaan be his servant. With the way the Hebrew is constructed the word Barooch it implies a blessing by God with full divine strength. It means to endue with special power. Blessed is Jehovah God for keeping His promises of blessing the offspring of Shem. This is a prophetic declaration …

Blessed

Dr. Mike Murphy  As I held her with all my might, every emotion but one escaped from me. And as I got her to the ground, every instinct but one left me.  She was no longer breathing, and her pulse could not be felt.  My fears were overtaken by every action but one, to do what I could to help her.  And as I started working to revive her, I did the one thing I knew could make a difference.  I prayed.  With each action I took to get her heart beating again, I prayed.  I called out to the …

Courage in the Lonely Hour

It is in the midst of loneliness that we learn to rely exclusively on God. DEUTERONOMY 31:6-8 6 Be strong and courageous, do not be afraid or tremble at them, for the LORD your God is the one who goes with you. He will not fail you or forsake you.” 7 Then Moses called to Joshua and said to him in the sight of all Israel, Be strong and courageous, for you shall go with this people into the land which the LORD has sworn to their fathers to give them, and you shall give it to them as an …

1 Rapture,Resurrection Promise&Program

The Rapture of the church was a mystery (mystērion) in that it had not been known in the Old Testament but now was revealed. The dead in Christ will first be raised, and then the living will be translated instantaneously to our glorified resurrected bodies. The trumpet, as in the Old Testament, signaled the appearance of God (Exodus 19:16). It is the last blast for the church because this appearance shall never end (1 Corinthians 13:12). Like the dead (I Corinthians 15: 42–43), the living will exchange the natural bodies which are corrupt since the Fall in exchange for the …

“Why go I mourning?” Psalm 42:9

Psalm 42 42 As the deer pants for the water brooks, So my soul pants for You, O God. 2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God; When shall I come and appear before God? 3 My tears have been my food day and night, While they say to me all day long, “Where is your God?” 4 These things I remember and I pour out my soul within me. For I used to go along with the throng and lead them in procession to the house of God, With the voice of joy and thanksgiving, a multitude …

Contentment Through Pain

If God has given His Son to die for us, let us beware of doubting His kindness and love in any painful providence of our daily life. Let us never suppose that He can give us anything that is not really for our good. Let us remember the words of Paul, “He who spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all—how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things.” (Rom. 8:32.) Let us see in every sorrow and trouble of our earthly pilgrimage, the hand of Him who gave Christ to die for …

THE PROMISE OF THE RAPTURE

We must remember that: The more literally we take the Bible, the more fundamental our theology becomes. The less literally we take the Bible, the more liberal our theology becomes. If we go the liberal route God’s message to us is lost. THE PROMISE OF THE RAPTURE Jesus Himself promised that this even would occur. John 14:2-3 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. 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. And if I go …
