“The Battle Is Mine”

by

1 Samuel 17:40-47 40 He picked up five smooth stones from a stream and put them into his shepherd’s bag. Then, armed only with his shepherd’s staff and sling, he started across the valley to fight the Philistine. 41 Goliath walked out toward David with his shield bearer ahead of him, 42 sneering in contempt at this ruddy-faced boy. 43 “Am I a dog,” he roared at David, “that you come at me with a stick?” And he cursed David by the names of his gods. 44 “Come over here, and I’ll give your flesh to the birds and wild …

Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin. Zechariah 4:10

by

  It is no small thing to be involved in the testimony of God’s glory. We should not make a virtue of smallness, as though there were something important about being despised by others, but at the same time we shall find that whenever God has called people to display His glory, He has chosen those who have no glory in themselves. God has always been obliged to strip His instruments of their own glory. A Moses, full of Egypt’s sufficiency, must go for forty years to the backside of the desert to be emptied out and made to confess …

THINGS THAT CANNOT BE SHAKEN

by

                                                 Though times seem trying, those who believe in Christ have an unshakeable dwelling place.   Hebrews 12:25-29(KJV) 25 See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven: 26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, …

Received up into glory." 1 Timothy 3:16

by

    We have seen our well-beloved Lord in the days of his flesh, humiliated and sore vexed; for he was “despised and rejected of men, a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief.” He whose brightness is as the morning, wore the sackcloth of sorrow as his daily dress: shame was his mantle, and reproach was his vesture. Yet now, inasmuch as he has triumphed over all the powers of darkness upon the bloody tree, our faith beholds our King returning with dyed garments from Edom, robed in the splendour of victory. How glorious must he have been in …

The Battle Of Man

by

  In 1972, I released a book called, Satan is Alive and Well on Planet Earth. That was a year after William Peter Blatty’s novel called The Exorcist, and a year before the film version of that book. Satan is Alive and Well sold more than 8 million copies. The Exorcist film, adjusted for inflation, is the 9th highest grossing movie of all time. In those years, interest in Satan was at a peak — partly because of a smalltime hoodlum, turned cult leader, turned mass killer named Charles Manson. With Manson, the world caught a real glimpse of the …

Genesis Message 21 Demonic Warfare To Stop The Messiah

by

Published on Jun 3, 2016 In this video Dr Woodhead discusses the demonic warfare which the apostle Paul said was taking place in the spirit world warned us that we were the objects of their wrath (Ephesians 6: 10-13). One of earliest (after Satan’s success in the Garden of Eden) attacks to prevent to coming of the messiah was the series of events recorded here in Genesis chapter six. The Lord Jesus warned His disciples that similar events would transpire when He was about to make His second advent to the earth in time and space (Matthew 24: 37). He …

Genesis Message 20 The Messianic Seed Line and Translation of Enoch

by

Published on Jun 3, 2016 In this video Dr Woodhead discusses the Toldot (generation) of Adam. It expresses the chronology of Adam to Noah. Both of these men represent significant points in the chronology of humanity on the earth. Adam was the first man made by God and Noah the only man (with his family) who survived the worldwide flood. It was the seed line of Adam through Seth that made it through the Flood. The line of Cain did not. Adam wrote portions of Genesis. This is clearly one of them as the text uses the word book to …

Genesis Message 19 The Banishment of Cain

by

Published on Jun 3, 2016 In this video Dr Woodhead discusses Cain who is now seen after the murder of his brother and his banishment from God and from his home region, which was near Eden. Eden was in Southeast Iraq near ancient Babylon or about forty miles southeast of Baghdad on the Euphrates River northwest of the Persian Gulf. Cain’s leaving God was only a departure of the physical presence of God in time and space, The Shekinah Glory. One cannot get away from God since He is omnipresent. This refers to the moving flame at the east end …

1 Samuel 17:17-39 17 Then Jesse said to his son David, “Take now for your brothers an ephah of this dried grain and these ten loaves, and run to your brothers at the camp. 18 And carry these ten cheeses to the captain of their thousand, and see how your brothers fare, and bring back news of them.” 19 Now Saul and they and all the men of Israel were in the Valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines. 20 So David rose early in the morning, left the sheep with a keeper, and took the things and went as …

Genesis Message 15 Adamic Covenant Summary

by

Published on Jun 2, 2016 In this video Dr Woodhead discusses the Adamic covenant is unconditional in which God declared to Adam what man’s life would be like now that sin is in the world. The conditions of this covenant will exist until the Kingdom Age (Romans 8:21). There is no appeal and there are no human conditions or responsibility involved. The outcome of the arrangement is entirely based on God and His sovereign control. Mankind has no personal activity immediately assigned such as if you do this then I God will do that. Elements of the covenant are the …

Genesis Message 16 The Conditions of Women after The Fall

by

Published on Jun 2, 2016 In this video Dr Woodhead discusses how God begins to address the woman and He starts with a discussion of her state during childbirth. There might have been some discomfort associated with the birth of a child in the original state, into which the woman was created but now, that would be painful. Additionally, her ability to conceive would be monthly as now indicated by her menstrual cycle. Previously that would be less frequent. Some believe that since she along with Adam were created to live forever that the need for frequent offspring to populate …

Genesis Message 17 The Post Fall Condition of Earth

by

In this video Dr Woodhead discusses Adam’s first exercise of his new dominion since the Fall is to provide a name for his wife whom he previously only called “The Woman” (Genesis 2: 23). Adam stated that the reason he called her woman was because she was taken out of man. In Hebrew and in English there is a wordplay between the words “man” (אִישׁ, ˒îšh) and “woman” (אִשָּׁה, ˒išhāh) The Hebrew words for man and woman are ish and isha. It amounts to a sort of play-on-words. Man was not made from women initially; Woman was made from man. …

Genesis Message 18 Cain and Abel

by

In this video Dr Woodhead discusses how Adam knew Chavah (Eve) a woman and she conceived and begat Cain. Because the word knew is past tense it is quite probable that the intercourse and pregnancy occurred prior to sin entering the world. The Jewish rabbis believe that both Cain and Abel were born before the sin of their parents. Because of the fact that Eve delineates a man as the child she must have had other children and some of those had to be females. We will see in our next session that Cain had a wife (Genesis 4: 17). …
