Getting Out of Step

by

Saul reminds us that humility is a key to receiving the fullness of God’s blessings and power.   1 SAMUEL 13:5-14 5 Now the Philistines assembled to fight with Israel, 30,000 chariots and 6,000 horsemen, and people like the sand which is on the seashore in abundance; and they came up and camped in Michmash, east of Beth-aven. 6 When the men of Israel saw that they were in a strait (for the people were hard-pressed), then the people hid themselves in caves, in thickets, in cliffs, in cellars, and in pits. 7 Also some of the Hebrews crossed the …

Divine Cultivation

by

“I the LORD do keep it; I will water it every moment: Lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day” (Isaiah 27:3). When the LORD Himself speaks in His own proper person rather than through a prophet, the word has a peculiar weight to believing minds. It is Jehovah Himself who is the keeper of His own vineyard; He does not trust it to any other, but He makes it His own personal care. Are they not well kept whom God Himself keeps? We are to receive gracious watering, not only every day and every hour “but …

Genesis Message 22 Wickedness of Man

by

In this 22nd video of the book of Genesis Dr Woodhead discusses the importance for us to to make two observations. 1. Wickedness of man was great on the earth 2. Every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually The wickedness from the line of Cain as well as the progeny of the fallen angels and promiscuous women produced people who were unrestrained in their wickedness. This is a description of their outward sinful behavior. Since our thoughts drive our behavior the second observation was descriptive regarding the degree of evil they were thinking. The Hebrew …

“Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began, ”— 2 Timothy 1:9

by

The apostle uses the perfect tense and says, “Who hath saved us.” Believers in Christ Jesus are saved. They are not looked upon as persons who are in a hopeful state, and may ultimately be saved, but they are already saved. Salvation is not a blessing to be enjoyed upon the dying bed, and to be sung of in a future state above, but a matter to be obtained, received, promised, and enjoyed now. The Christian is perfectly saved in God’s purpose; God has ordained him unto salvation, and that purpose is complete. He is saved also as to the …

GOD’S GREAT CARE

by

PSALM 42:1-2 _____________________________________________ “As the deer pants for streams of water, so pants my soul for You, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God? “     Do you know how much God cares for you? In this life we may never come to a full knowledge of just how much, but if we stop to meditate on this verse we might gain a closer understanding. The Lord has His ways of helping us see His truth. One morning, as I sat alone praying, I was surprised by …

Heaven Can Wait? Is the Doctrine of Imminence still relevant? Part II

by

Pete Garcia If you take anything away from this and last week’s article, let me sum it up by saying this; the greater the convergence, the lesser the imminence. The same is true in reverse, the greater the imminence, the lesser the convergence. It is impossible for both concepts to take up equal space on the same prophetic timeline. The only caveat to this then applies only to those who choose to remain ignorant of the signs of the times. Because the world pushed the 20th century into the modern age with advancements in just about every field of knowledge. …

Major Events Preceding the Second Coming of Christ

by

Article contributed by www.walvoord.com The Second Coming of Christ is preceded by a number of world-shaking events that must occur before Christ can return. This is in contrast to the rapture of the church, which is always presented in Scripture as an imminent event. The Second Coming, however, is a climax of what God is doing with the world to prepare it for Christ’s millennial kingdom. Many detailed prophecies relate to this period, and understanding this helps one to analyze current world affairs as shaping up in preparation for these events. The Revival of the Roman Empire In Daniel’s presentation …

God Has a Purpose for Storms

by

If you are in the midst of suffering, you can trust that God is using it for both your good and His kingdom. Psalm 119:71 71 It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes. Perhaps you’ve seen a TV show in which a distracted person is about to step in front of a moving vehicle. Then suddenly another character races onto the scene, tackling him to prevent a catastrophe. Stunned and indignant, the near-victim fumes and swats at his rescuer—that is, until realizing he has just been saved from a far worse …

A True Friend

1 Samuel 23:14–18 14 David now stayed in the strongholds of the wilderness and in the hill country of Ziph.

REASONS TO OBEY GOD

by

Daniel and his friends were in a strange land, prisoners of a king who sought to benefit from their superior skills and intellect. As he grew to manhood, Daniel managed to operate within the foreign system without compromising his belief in the heavenly Father. He did not eat forbidden foods. He did not bow to idols. He valiantly maintained his prayer times, even in the face of persecution and punishment. God honored Daniel’s faithfulness, rescuing him from the lions’ den and blessing him with great favor. At every crossroads, Daniel chose to follow the commands of the Lord. He still …

40 The Parable of the Sword

by

In Ezekiel Message 40 The nation Israel God says that He is against them. As a result of their gross sins he will bring judgment against them. He is their adversary since they turned against them. The central point in this message is that He as their antagonist will bring a sword out of its sheath and will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked. In other words when the Babylonians come for the final time acting as God’s sword unsheathed they will indiscriminately kill all that are in their path. This will include the righteous as well …
