God’s Word says we people are all made of one blood, (Acts 17:26). If that is true, why are we always fighting each other? If our blood proves that we are all alike, we need to get over ourselves. There have always been stupid people that believe they are better, and those who believe they are less. There have always been the elite, and the poor, the educated, and those who are not so fortunate. Look around, you could have…..
We are nearing the beginning of a New Age in the earth. We who are here were chosen by God to be here at this time, and Jesus warned us many times to “not fear.” He said in Matthew 24:1-14: “The time is coming when you will hear the noise of battle near at hand and the news of battles far away; see that you are not alarmed. Such things are bound to happen; but the end is still to…..
The word defer means to to put off an action until a future time, or to show respect or to go in a different direction (dictionary.com). We can defer to God. We can decide to show honor to Him, and not do what our flesh wants or needs, but to do what God has shown us in our hearts is right. Isaiah 45:13 speaks prophetically of Jesus, “I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will direct all his…..
Nobody wants to wait. I want my Whopper and fries within 5 minutes, and I don’t want to wait in line at the grocery store. I sometimes even go through the self-checkouts just to avoid the lines with the real human checkers at the registers. Our time is precious to us we think, but there are times when we just have to wait. One is when a baby is born. It takes 9 months, whether we like it or not……
Jesus told His disciples immediately before He went to the cross, that He had a choice. He could have called 12 armies of angels to come and rescue Him, if He desired. (Matthew 26:53 & 54). But, He said, the scriptures had to be fulfilled. For thousands of years, the prophets had prophesied that the Messiah would be tortured and killed, and that He would take our sins and sicknesses by His sacrifice. Isaiah 53 foretells this explicitly. Jesus knew…..
Nebuchadnezzar had been warned in a dream that something was going to happen to him if he didn’t honor God. Sure enough, he was standing on his balcony one day and when looking out over Babylon, he spouted out that all that grandeur was brought about by HIS OWN hand. A voice came out of heaven and spoke that his kingdom would be taken from him for 7 years. Imagine that! But it was too late. He spent the next…..
You can counsel all day and all night, but if you are not using the Word of God, your words are fruitless and full of air. Only God’s Word does not, “come back empty, but accomplishes what the Lord desires and gets the will of God done. (Isaiah 55:11). You may think it is antiquated, out of date, nonessential, non-applicable, but you had better look again. There is no book more relevant or more necessary than the Bible. Living water…..
Sisera was a great general in the King of Hazor’s army. After he was slain by a woman, the Bible states, “So let all thine enemies perish, O LORD: but let them that love him [the Lord] be as the sun when he goeth forth in his might” (Judges 5:31, KJV). This does not say that we who serve the Lord will shine like the sun coming up, or the sun going down, but HIGH NOON! Proverbs 4:18 states: “But…..
We all know there were two trees in the garden of Eden that were of interest. One was the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, and the other was the tree of life. God gave permission for Adam and Eve to eat from any of the many trees in the garden EXCEPT for the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. He gave them a choice to obey, and they had plenty of other interesting fruits to…..
Do you think we might be in the latter days? Are things confusing, and are many without conscience and full of evil? Here is good news. “But from there you will seek the LORD your God, and you will find Him if you search for Him with all your heart and all your soul” (Deuteronomy 4:29-30, NAS). The Lord is available, and willing to show Himself to you, but you must do the searching and you must put out effort……
