Wondrous Love

John 17:20 “I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who believe in Me through their word.” _____________________________________________________________ In the very opening of this verse one feels inexpressibly delighted to hear of the wondrous love that our Savior has toward us, His people. He promises here that He will intercede for every one of us before His Father’s throne and not only us, but also those who will in the future believe; those who are yet uncalled, unconverted, and unregenerated. When we consider this, His exceeding grace and affection, it is more than we can comprehend. I …

Genesis Msg 5 God Divides The Lights

In this video Dr Woodhead discusses one of the reasons for making the stars in the heavens was for a sign. A sign signifies or represents something. Signs therefore, are meant to lead one to something else. The sign itself is not the end destination. It is the method employed to direct our attention to something else. In the stars God is the direct object the signs point to. We should realize that His entire creation which theologians call “general revelation,” speak to Him and coming from Him. In fact God charges all mankind to know Him through the ‘signs” …

Genesis Message 70 The Genealogy of Esau (Edom)

There is a parallel passage to this in I Chronicles 1:36, 37. Both describe what became of Esau and the Edomites. Esau’s Sons and Grandsons became the Fathers of Tribes. It is important to remember that individual names become clans then tribes and later nations in the Bible. Any of these entities might still be referred to by the progenitor’s name. Through them he became the father of Edom, i.e., the founder of the Edomite nation on the mountains of Seir. Mount Seir is the mountainous region between the Dead Sea and the Gulf of Aquaba, the northern half of …

“All that believe are justified.”—Acts 13:39.

THE believer in Christ receives a present justification. Faith does not produce this fruit by-and-by, but now. So far as justification is the result of faith, it is given to the soul in the moment when it closes with Christ, and accepts Him as its all in all. Are they who stand before the throne of God justified now?—so are we, as truly and as clearly justified as they who walk in white and sing melodious praises to celestial harps. The thief upon the cross was justified the moment that he turned the eye of faith to Jesus; and Paul, …

SEEKING GUIDANCE: THE PATTERN

We often want to know God’s plan, but there’s a process to seeking His guidance. Matthew 7:7-8(KJV) 7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. There’s a pattern we should follow in seeking God’s guidance, and the first step involves cleansing. Sin can strangle the Holy Spirit’s power in us and cloud judgment, so we must ask God to reveal and then forgive anything that might …

Genesis Msg 4 Dry Land, Seas, & Vegetation

In this video Dr Woodhead discusses how just as in day one the energizing agency was the Word of God (John 1: 3). Now the dry land was separated from the lower waters. The cataclysmic action of creation yeekavoo caused the materials to arrange themselves isostatically (gravitational equilibrium) with heaver materials sinking and lighter materials floating. Lots of matter remained suspended in the waters below as the dry earth began to clear. As the solid surface began to appear the waters simultaneously began a twisting current network of channels that descended into substrata reservoirs. The earth opened up its crust …

THE GOG & MAGOG INVASION PART III 83 The Latter Days – Times of Gentiles

May 14, 2017 Daniel E. Woodhead WHEN WILL INVASION THIS HAPPEN? THE BEGINNING OF THE LAST DAYS: Only the Biblically illiterate fail to see that we are in the “Last Days.” The Last Days began with the First World War as Christ said in the Olivet Discourse. Nation rising against Nation and Kingdom against Kingdom” is a Jewish idiomatic phrase, which means a conflict in the total region under discussion. In the Olivet Discourse He was discussing the events surrounding His Second Coming, which pertain to the entire world. Matthew records our Lord’s words with respect to the beginning of …

From “Christ in You,” by T. Austin Sparks:

Christ is not a second personality or power, to come along to reinforce US, to vivify US, to strengthen US, for us to use in life and in service, and that He should make US something. That is not the thought, and that is not the angle of Scripture at all. And yet, how almost universally, perhaps largely unconsciously, that is what is happening. Christians are wanting to be made something, even as Christians; and Christian workers and the Lord’s servants are, though perhaps unwittingly, wanting to be made something as workers; and they want Christ to reinforce THEM, come …

Jesus’ Path From Hades to Heaven

FROM HADES TO HEAVEN By Tom McCall, Th.D. What happened to the saints of the Old Testament when they died? What happened when Christ died and “descended in to Hades”? What happened between the time the risen Christ appeared to Mary Magdalene and the time He appeared to the disciples later that Sunday evening? What does the Scripture mean that Christ led “captivity captive?” Where do believers go today when they die? The purpose of this article is to find the answer to these questions in the Word of God. When Christ died, His body was in the tomb, but …

“He shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom.” Isaiah 40:11

Who is he of whom such gracious words are spoken? He is the Good Shepherd. Why doth he carry the lambs in his bosom? Because He hath a tender heart, and any weakness at once melts his heart. The sighs, the ignorance, the feebleness of the little ones of his flock draw forth his compassion. It is his office, as a faithful High Priest, to consider the weak. Besides, he purchased them with blood, they are his property: he must and will care for that which cost him so dear. Then he is responsible for each lamb, bound by covenant …

The Lord wants each of us to experience His great love in a personal and intimate way Ephesians 3:14-19 For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, 15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, 16 that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length …
