What is the fullness of Pentecost to mean to us today? Can it mean that the Lord will take many and give them singleness of heart as He did at the beginning? You see this day that is before you, and the only thing that matters is that you have heard a Word and you… Continue reading Singleness of heart
Month: October 2022
The pierced hearts
Among the 120 gathered for the day of Pentecost was Mary, the mother of the Lord. She was typical of many today who have followed the Lord saying as Mary, “Be it done unto me according to Thy Word.” The prophet said, “A sword shall pierce your own heart,” and so we experience the devastation… Continue reading The pierced hearts
What makes a Passover succeed or what makes a Passover fail
The first Passover in Egypt failed in the sense that those delivered were not able to bear the Word of the Lord. They came out from Egypt but not into a receptivity of what God was saying. The next Passover at the Jordan River came to another generation who listened to what God said and… Continue reading What makes a Passover succeed or what makes a Passover fail
Progressive revelation
When God has a handmaiden so faithful to Him that she says, “Entreat me not to leave Thee nor from following after Thee. Whither Thou goest, I will go.” Then God moves upon a Boaz and He says, “This one seems to be gleaning in My field. Leave handfuls on purpose.” (Ruth 1:16, 2:15–16 King… Continue reading Progressive revelation
An army with banners
Many passages in the Bible speak about the end time. We read in I Timothy 4:1: But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons. Do you understand what Paul is saying? In the latter times we are going… Continue reading An army with banners
Our position and His provision
Each lesson on spiritual warfare is complete in itself, giving you specific basic Scriptural principles which will help you as you lay hold upon them. These messages have this unique quality that they are building upon one another. Satan’s tactics have to be understood. His tactics are to bluff, to roar against you as a… Continue reading Our position and His provision
Aggressively manifesting Christ’s victory in us and through us
As you read this Scripture, let it happen to you. I saw heaven opened; and behold, a white horse, and He who sat upon it is called Faithful and True; and in righteousness He judges and wages war. This is the emphasis in the book of Revelation—He judges and wages war. And His eyes are… Continue reading Aggressively manifesting Christ’s victory in us and through us
This is how He does it!
We thank You for Your Word, Lord. Where would we be without the hidden wisdom that You unveil to our hearts, without the food that feeds the part of us that is made in Your own image. We bless You. We do not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from Thy… Continue reading This is how He does it!
It’s not your sword
The sixth chapter of Ephesians gives us that wonderful picture of the armor of the Christian believer. And since the preceding chapters explain how God will manifest to principalities and powers His manifold wisdom through the Church, we understand that He is revealing the ultimate destiny of the believer. The fullness and the victory of… Continue reading It’s not your sword
Hard hats for soft heads
We have learned much of great value from this series: how to walk with the Lord, how to enter in to the best position of spiritual defense, how to get into warfare. In Ephesians 6:17, the first part of the verse, we find additional armor for soldiers of the Lord: And take the helmet of… Continue reading Hard hats for soft heads
How to put out fires
Ephesians 6:10. Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of His might. We review this Scripture each time, for we do not engage in the war against principalities and powers in our own strength. The pieces of armor are appropriated from God, and we take God’s attributes, His qualities, and use them.… Continue reading How to put out fires
Where the shinbone connects to the anklebone
Lord, our faith is constantly focused upon You, and it must be so, for Thou hast ordained to lead us through the rubble of a dying age that we may walk softly into all the requirements of a new. Our hearts are set on You. We pray that You will bless us and anoint us,… Continue reading Where the shinbone connects to the anklebone
We have a bullet proof vest
ANOINTED MEMORY Lord, we are very grateful to You for Your kindness to us. Above everything else, we want Your Word to live with that same anointing by which the Holy Spirit caused Your holy men to pen these words. So let the Holy Spirit be upon the teaching of it and upon the hearing… Continue reading We have a bullet proof vest
Be strong in the Lord
Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of His might. Put on the full armor of God, that you may be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world-forces of this… Continue reading Be strong in the Lord
We have tender loins
This series, based upon Ephesians 6:10–18 reveals what the Lord really taught about the spiritual armor. In verse 10, Be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of His might, we learn that we are not self-exhausting in our conflicts. It is not a matter of our energy, our victory, or our position; our… Continue reading We have tender loins
The schemes of the devil
The book of Ephesians seems to follow three main themes: the wealth of the believer (all the inheritance and riches of grace); the walk of the believer (walk as dear children; walk as children of light); and the warfare of the believer. It unveils the great panorama of God’s plan from eternity to eternity, and… Continue reading The schemes of the devil
Identification, transference and the boomerang
Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of His might. Ephesians 6:10. To be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might: a few words can embrace a great many ideas. If we understand the Scriptural principles involved in these three words, identification, transference, and boomerang, we will perceive everything… Continue reading Identification, transference and the boomerang
The transactions or the authority in His name
This message will present another legal aspect of our position, of our privileges in the Lord Jesus Christ, and the fantastic provisions that He has made for every need—not only things that we consider needs from a human viewpoint, but the needs that we have now as we appropriate His perfect eternal purpose to bring… Continue reading The transactions or the authority in His name
The treasury or we have the key
In considering the things that God has provided for us, it is very important that we talk about the treasury, the vault where all the resources are stored. As we enter into a Scriptural study, we will begin to understand what spiritual access really means, and we will become aware of the fact that we… Continue reading The treasury or we have the key
We will not return to our homes until
Before the children of Israel crossed the Jordan River to possess their inheritance, the tribes of Reuben and Gad asked for permission to settle on the east side of the Jordan, in the great land known as Gilead, and take that for their possession. These two tribes both had large flocks and herds and needed… Continue reading We will not return to our homes until
The pre-tribulation and post tribulation raptures
In teaching on end time events I realize that there was an initial fulfillment of them in 70 A.D. Mark 13:3- Peter, James, John and Andrew came to Jesus privately, asking him when these things shall be fulfilled. Mark 13:30 Jesus told them when they see these things come to pass, that this generation speaking… Continue reading The pre-tribulation and post tribulation raptures
Persistent prayer-for what and to whom?
And it came to pass, as he was praying in a certain place, that when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, even as John also taught his disciples. And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Father, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Give us… Continue reading Persistent prayer-for what and to whom?
A meeting with the Lord
There are sermons that give an exposition to try to exhaust a story and all the shades of meaning, but sometimes you remember more if someone takes one or two principles out of a passage of Scripture and relates it to you, where you are living. It helps to follow the example of some man… Continue reading A meeting with the Lord
Prayerlessness-the sin against the Lord
Samuel, in his address to Israel at a critical time in the war with the Philistines, says: Moreover, as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the Lord in ceasing to pray for you. I Samuel 12:23. Sin against the Lord in ceasing to pray for people? Yes! Why would… Continue reading Prayerlessness-the sin against the Lord
Objectives of prayer
The objectives of prayer—for what shall we pray? In order to establish this in your mind we will move rapidly so that the whole message is one concept rather than many individual thoughts. I want you to get a feeling rather than to be enlightened by expositions. Is travail and agony the continual, perpetual state… Continue reading Objectives of prayer
If I regard iniquity in my heart
Come, and hear, all ye that fear God, And I will declare what he hath done for my soul. I cried unto him with my mouth, And he was extolled with my tongue. If I regard (or if I had looked with favor, if I had approved), iniquity in my heart, The Lord will not… Continue reading If I regard iniquity in my heart
If thou will go not with us
In the book of Exodus the people of the Lord reached a place where their making a molten calf in the wilderness had provoked the anger of God. And the Lord spake unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy people, that thou broughtest up out of the land of Egypt, (God didn’t own them… Continue reading If thou will go not with us
What will it be-a token or a torrent
What we have received so far is not the final answer. It is better than we have seen before, but it is not enough! I pray to God, telling Him that I love Him, that I fear Him, that I reverence Him, that I worship Him—and that I am embarrassed for Him; and I say… Continue reading What will it be-a token or a torrent
The anxious
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. That is the word, “Be anxious for nothing.” There is a great need for this. The next verse informs us, And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, shall guard your hearts and… Continue reading The anxious
That fig tree
This is not the hour that thou shalt stand before the Lord with fears and reluctance in thy heart to press forward. Truly as thou art worshipers of the Lord thou shalt set thy heart to wholly follow after Him with all that is within thee. This is not a day in which thou shalt… Continue reading That fig tree
It has been loosed
Matthew 16:19, “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you shall bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever you shall loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven.” We will dwell on the finality with which things have been accomplished in the spirit realm.… Continue reading It has been loosed
Authority
And Jesus came up and spoke to them saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations…” Matthew 28:18, 19a. Nothing is said about the difficulty of the job or about the disciples’ own resources or abilities to do it. Nothing is said… Continue reading Authority
And keep on asking
Chapters 11 and 18 in the Gospel of Luke are dedicated to the principles of prayer, especially the principles that are most effective in the end time. They give the basis for the change we are approaching. We are going to change—physically, mentally, spiritually, economically—in every way. We can claim things and believe for them… Continue reading And keep on asking
Victory
From the time that Christians are converted, they are never in a position where they do not have victory. They may sometimes accept defeat, but they never fail to have the victory. This sounds like a paradox. What does it mean? The victory was won for us and given to us by Jesus Christ. We… Continue reading Victory
What God cannot do
This may seem to be a lesson on theology because it speaks about God; but theology is usually a dead study, filled with the intricate hairsplitting doctrines of men who are devoid of deep spirituality and are only concerned about things academically. This is actually not a teaching on theology, though it deals with the… Continue reading What God cannot do
He is willing and able
If you have a God, it is important for you to know what He has said He will do for you. And after you review what He has said He will do for you, it is good to determine whether He is able to do it. And after you have established that He is able… Continue reading He is willing and able
Bones, come alive!
The hand of the Lord was upon me, and He brought me out by the Spirit of the Lord and set me down in the middle of the valley; and it was full of bones. And He caused me to pass among them round about, and behold, there were very many on the surface of… Continue reading Bones, come alive!
Hope- to dream
Neurosis, the plague of this age, has resulted in the loss of hope. Neurosis could be described as a disorder characterized by anxiety, depression, or hypochondria. Surveys have shown that one out of four people suffer one of these symptoms. We live in a world where humanism has eroded the one thing humankind needs to… Continue reading Hope- to dream
The search for reality
The prophetic writer CS Lewis once said “If I find in myself desires which nothing in this world can satisfy, the only logical explanation is that I was made for another world. This is so true; we are beginning to awaken as a species. The current world philosophies do not satisfy or come near to… Continue reading The search for reality
Running the race and the purpose of the journey
ROMANS 8:17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and jointheirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. 18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.… Continue reading Running the race and the purpose of the journey
Awakenings
Reformation has the thought of reforming, rebuilding, or remodelling back to the original pattern or state. The great spiritual reformation of the 16th century restored truths that had been lost, such as justification by faith in the shed blood of Jesus. These were not new truths, they were restored truths. In reality, the reformation that… Continue reading Awakenings
The fire is coming
There has been much teaching on the role and position of the bondservant, which is necessary and good. However, this level of dedication and service to God must mature to another level, to that of “Friends of God”. This relationship is very different to that of a bondservant. There are those in the Bible that… Continue reading The fire is coming
Expand like the universe
We now know that the universe continues to expand. Growth is a biblical principle that has ever-increasing implications. We begin our earthly life as a fetus in the womb and we continue to grow both physically as well as intellectually. This is also true spiritually, as the Apostle Paul wrote: 1 CORINTHIANS 3:1 And I,… Continue reading Expand like the universe
The journey
Our Christian life is a journey which Scripture portrays as a progressive journey that has unimaginable rewards for those who finish the JOURNEY. This journey finishes at a spiritual or inner place called Zion. It is a place of manifest glory, power, and the realization of the goal. This all takes place while you are… Continue reading The journey
Focusing on the Lord
No worship or praise to the Lord is ever wasted; however, when a service does not have clear-cut guidance, then everyone is going in his own direction, and that is a sure guarantee that nothing will happen in the service. Every minute should count. Every moment should be effective in going some place in the… Continue reading Focusing on the Lord
Be sensitive to God
Cornelius was a centurion, an officer in the Roman army, a professional soldier. However, we are not as interested in this phase of his life as in the fact that he was a devout man, and one who feared God with all his household, and gave many alms to the Jewish people, and prayed to… Continue reading Be sensitive to God
The submission of kings and priests
Our worship must be with a definite element of submission, based upon the divine order that God is restoring. Our test will come in the absolute, total submission to God as He restores divine order, the Church, and His Kingdom. This brings the work of the cross to the old flesh. We do not want… Continue reading The submission of kings and priests
The song of Moses and the Lamb
In Exodus 15, we find the song of Moses which is one of the earliest of the songs found in the Scriptures. These early songs were always songs of victory. As civilization deteriorated (from the head of gold down through the silver and the other symbolic stages depicted in Nebuchadnezzar’s vision in Daniel 2:31–35), we… Continue reading The song of Moses and the Lamb
Circumcision before conquest
For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and Marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. Hebrews 4:12. The Lord has a way of bringing a ministry of the… Continue reading Circumcision before conquest
Mere men or men of destiny
And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual men, but as to men of flesh, as to babes in Christ. I gave you milk to drink, not solid food; for you were not yet able to receive it. Indeed, even now you are not yet able, for you are still fleshly. For… Continue reading Mere men or men of destiny
Cutting away the old to walk in the new
How many things hath the Lord set before thee in these days? He hath not allowed thee to walk in yesterday’s blessings, but He hath brought all of the wonders of tomorrow and made them available unto thee that you should walk in them. He hath said unto thee, “Behold, separate thyself from the chains… Continue reading Cutting away the old to walk in the new
Feast of first fruits
I want to explain a principle to you, using both the Old and the New Testaments. Let us go to the Word for the scriptural foundation of this principle. You shall not delay the offering from your harvest and your vintage (this means the firstfruits). The first-born of your sons you shall give to Me.… Continue reading Feast of first fruits
Do you have a false image of God?
Behold, when the Prophet Joel did speak of the days in which you are entering now, he spoke of how the Lord would pour out His Spirit and the vats should overflow with wine and oil, that there should be no scarcity, for the people of the Lord would eat in abundance and be satisfied… Continue reading Do you have a false image of God?
Filled with all the fullness of God
I am in Christ; Christ is in me. I can be in the Spirit and the Spirit in me. Being filled with the Spirit requires an understanding of our own spirits and of our spiritual nature. This message should help anyone who has ever had a problem with the Holy Spirit, the baptism of the… Continue reading Filled with all the fullness of God
The dragon’s jaws
In some ways, I think we have overestimated what sermons can do. They are more limited than we realize. We think, “Boy, that was a good sermon; it ought to have changed the world!” But the Living Word, as it is coming now, can change the world. God could bring one word and change the… Continue reading The dragon’s jaws
Broken
A walk with God becomes our whole life. God has invaded us. He hasn’t left any peace in our heart. He keeps bothering us, tapping us on the shoulder, and saying, “There’s something more that I want.” Soon He will even have that last thing we hang on to. Even the right to give Him… Continue reading Broken
Swiftly
There is a liberation and a release coming every time the pastors come together. You know you are liberated and you know there is more liberty to come, but you do not dare sit down and wait for the liberty to come; it comes while you are in motion. We can’t just sit and wait… Continue reading Swiftly
Together
Then the jealousy of Ephraim (double) will depart, and those who harass Judah will be cut off; Ephraim will not be jealous of Judah, and Judah will not harass Ephraim. And they will sweep down on the slopes of the Philistines on the west; together they will plunder the sons of the east; they will… Continue reading Together
Accountability
Remember those who led you, who spoke the word of God to you; and considering the outcome of their way of life, imitate their faith. Obey your leaders, and submit to them; for they keep watch over your souls, as those who will give an account. Let them do this with joy and not with… Continue reading Accountability
Bonded
In his letter to the Ephesians, Paul talks about the unity of the Spirit. I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, entreat you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, showing forbearance to one another in love, being diligent to… Continue reading Bonded
ILLUSION
This message deals with the basic thought of what it is to have no illusions in this Walk with God. Dedication with illusions is dangerous, for somewhere down the line someone is going to stick a pin in your balloon. There will be someone dedicated to rain on your parade. If your dedication is not… Continue reading ILLUSION
Delight
Lord, we thank You and we praise Your name together for all that we see unfolding; the unity we perceive Thou hast wrought among us, the delightful fellowship we have, the way we are delighting in one another with such a supreme rejoicing. We thank You for what is coming, Lord: this breaking of our… Continue reading Delight
All joy
In the second chapter of Philippians there is a very simple passage that is often overlooked. It illustrates the attitude of ministries toward one another, and the attitude of the flock toward the ministries and their shepherds. I rejoice in the reality of what is coming forth among the people. When we come together, we… Continue reading All joy
Meaning
There are three principal feasts: Passover (which includes the Feast of Unleavened Bread), Pentecost (the Feast of Weeks or Firstfruits), and at the end of the year a combination of feasts including the Feast of Trumpets (Shofar), the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur), and the Feast of Tabernacles (Succoth). Each of the feasts is an… Continue reading Meaning
Fulfilled
God is bringing forth an interrelationship of true New Testament churches without creating a denomination, but with tremendous effectiveness in their ministry. We are entering into the year of the explosion. Things will happen so fast. We are exploding in every direction. We are entering into unity among the brothers. It is a matter of… Continue reading Fulfilled
I’ll take twice as much
Elijah was the prophet of fire and rain. He brought fire from heaven on the sacrifices and rain to end the drought (I Kings 18:30–46). Elisha was the prophet of the double portion. Elijah’s and Elisha’s ministry had much in common. They were able to smite waters and part them; they brought water in times… Continue reading I’ll take twice as much
The chariots of Israel
Elisha ministered mostly to the ten northern tribes of Israel, who shortly after his ministry were taken into captivity by Syria. Many of the people were destroyed because of their idolatry, for the judgments of God were upon them. Both Elisha and Elijah were a counteracting force in stopping the apostasy in Israel for a… Continue reading The chariots of Israel
Why have you torn your clothes?
In the days of Elijah and Elisha life was rather cheap. Countries which were not very productive preyed on their neighbors. They would raid a neighboring country and steal people to make them their slaves. One little girl who had been kidnapped this way played a significant part in a deliverance God wished to bring.… Continue reading Why have you torn your clothes?
Chariots of fire all around
The underlying theme in the stories of Elisha is the priority and superiority of the spiritual over the natural. This is emphasized in the story of the chariots of fire. To understand life in that day, we must realize that the productivity was not very high. People preyed upon one another in a manner that… Continue reading Chariots of fire all around
Don’t get trampled to death
The stories of Elijah and Elisha give us a picture of what it will be like in the days to come. Elijah and Elisha lived in days of famine, days when people had problems surviving. Elisha dealt more with kings than did Elijah: the king of Syria, the king of Israel, and the king of… Continue reading Don’t get trampled to death
The problems of prophets
In the fourth and the sixth chapters of II Kings are three brief stories of miracles—three problems of the sons of the prophets. The first story is found in II Kings 4:38–41. When Elisha returned to Gilgal, there was a famine in the land. As the sons of the prophets were sitting before him, he… Continue reading The problems of prophets
The problems of prophets
In the fourth and the sixth chapters of II Kings are three brief stories of miracles—three problems of the sons of the prophets. The first story is found in II Kings 4:38–41. When Elisha returned to Gilgal, there was a famine in the land. As the sons of the prophets were sitting before him, he… Continue reading The problems of prophets
The prophets mantel
In I Kings 19, we read how the anointing came upon Elisha. Learning this is basic to the walk that God is bringing to His people in the earth. Elijah found Elisha the son of Shaphat, while he was plowing with twelve pairs of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth. And Elijah passed… Continue reading The prophets mantel
What are you doing here?
The ministry of Elijah seems to fall into two categories. One ends under a juniper tree (or broom-tree), and the other begins there. The story of this change in Elijah’s ministry is recorded in I Kings 19. Now Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and how he had killed all the prophets with… Continue reading What are you doing here?
Give me you son
Today there is much fear in the hearts of people, and they wonder what will happen in the world. The righteous know that the world situation will become much worse before it gets better because God is dealing in the earth. We are about to see the greatest visitation of the Lord that has ever… Continue reading Give me you son
The will of God is a state of heart
One thing that is so necessary in order to overcome in this walk is an adequate motivation. There are many good motives you could give for doing things for the Lord, but unless you have the right, perfect motivation, you break down in a time of test. If you worship for what you can receive,… Continue reading The will of God is a state of heart
Away we go
Now we will review, in summary form, a number of instances recorded in the Word where the Feast of Passover was observed. Exodus 12 gives the account of the first Passover which took place in Egypt, when the children of Israel were slaves, living in the land of Goshen. God gave them a Word, which… Continue reading Away we go
Again, the word became flesh!
It was at Passover that Joshua prepared to go into battle. The Captain of the host of Israel, standing on the plains of Jordan, confronted Joshua before he was to lead the army against Jericho, saying, “As Captain of the host of the Lord am I now come” (Joshua 5:14), Joshua bowed down and worshiped… Continue reading Again, the word became flesh!
In the place in which the Lord chooses
Have you ever wondered why God seems to repeat the accounts of certain events in the Bible? The story of the first Passover is recorded in Exodus 12. We find the second account of a Passover in Leviticus 23; it describes the various feasts and the directions concerning their observance. The ninth chapter of Numbers… Continue reading In the place in which the Lord chooses
Give them more than a lamb bone
The books of the Bible which tell of the restoration after the exile in Babylon are precious for us, because they so closely parallel today’s time when God’s people are being restored after leaving Babylon. As we have observed the keeping of the Feast of Passover in recent years, the Lord has given us wonderful… Continue reading Give them more than a lamb bone
A deal is a deal
The twelfth chapter of Exodus is a well-known chapter on the Passover. It is filled with familiar facts concerning that fateful night. It tells about the blood being put on the doorpost and about the eating of the lamb which had been roasted. It recounts how, at God’s command, the Israelites ate that lamb with… Continue reading A deal is a deal
It shall belong to His sons
When Ezekiel was taken captive into Babylon, Daniel had already been there for nine years. Ezekiel and Daniel were probably very close, even though Daniel was related more to the life in the palace, and Ezekiel spent much of his time in the country by a river bank. Frequently he was caught up in the… Continue reading It shall belong to His sons
Where did you lose Him?
Several outstanding occasions of the Passover I found in the Scriptures. One that took place when Jesus was growing up is found in Luke 2:39–52. And when they had performed everything according to the Law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their own city of Nazareth. And the Child continued to grow and… Continue reading Where did you lose Him?
Clean house again Lord
The second chapter of John tells us about the first Passover in Jesus’ ministry. It was a Passover of judgment and of miracles; and as such it applies also to the time in which we are living. The Lord is revealing to His people that there will be exploits and judgments visited upon the earth,… Continue reading Clean house again Lord
Off in a cloud of dust
The beginning of the book of Exodus records the story of Moses going down to Egypt at the command of the Lord to lead the children of Israel from bondage. The word “exodus” means “the departure” or “the way out.” The word “exit” is derived from the same root word. The Exodus was the departure… Continue reading Off in a cloud of dust
Dying in the way
So Jacob named the place where God had spoken with him, Bethel. Then they journeyed from Bethel; and when there was still some distance to go to Ephrath, Rachel began to give birth and she suffered severe labor. And it came about when she was in severe labor that the midwife said to her, “Do… Continue reading Dying in the way
This walk with God
As we walk with God, we face moments of God’s deep searching, moments in which we want things to live that were not truly born of God. Even though God is not really in them, we feel a grieving in our hearts, a reluctance to relinquish them. This is what Abraham faced with his son… Continue reading This walk with God
Obedience to spiritual revelation
A little girl from the land of Israel had been taken captive by the Syrians as a maid for the wife of Naaman. Naaman was the captain of the army of the king of Syria. He was a valiant warrior, and he was also a leper. One day the girl said to her mistress, “Would… Continue reading Obedience to spiritual revelation
God’s covenant of love
GOD’S COVENANT OF LOVE Now before the feast of the Passover, Jesus knowing that His hour had come that He should depart out of this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end. John 13:1. The Greek word implies, “He loved them to the… Continue reading God’s covenant of love
One heart and a new spirit
God led the children of Israel out of Egypt to make them a people for His own possession. He desired to enter into a marriage covenant with them and spoke to them the commandments or terms of the covenant. When the people heard the voice of the Lord, they responded: “ ‘… if we hear the… Continue reading One heart and a new spirit
The focus that brings peace
When you prophesy against the circumstances that are the evidence of futility, you are effective to some extent; but the real place where futility is conquered is in your spirit. The victory over futility starts with the sons of God and goes forth from them. God has always spoken a word which is deceptive in… Continue reading The focus that brings peace
Have I got a plan for you!
The truths in some chapters in the Bible are especially precious because they explain the present dealings of the Lord upon us and certain experiences we undergo. They also give us a picture of the future which shows us what God is working out in us and what He intends to work out through us.… Continue reading Have I got a plan for you!
It’s is the time!
And there was war in heaven, Michael and his angels waging war with the dragon. And the dragon and his angels waged war, and they were not strong enough (let us establish that point firmly in our minds: they were not strong enough), and there was no longer a place found for them in heaven.… Continue reading It’s is the time!
Shout joyfully
The Lord is giving a key that His people need in this day. When the hands hang down and the knees are feeble, it is time for the Lord to bring His strength to His people. If there is an anointing resting upon us, it is an anointing that we should use to prevail over… Continue reading Shout joyfully
Magnify the Lord-minimize what’s his name
In a walk with God you must never become devil conscious but always have your focus centered upon the Lord. If you focus on anything, let it be to obey the Word and magnify the Lord. Many religious groups become so aware of devils that they look for devils instead of the moving of the… Continue reading Magnify the Lord-minimize what’s his name
The ten commandments
When we see the 10 Commandments in terms of a marriage contract to Israel, to love the lord with all their heart, we will get a clearer understanding of God’s heart. We need to see the correct perspective of all the 10 Commandments and understand a Ketubah. Many people live under an incorrect old covenant… Continue reading The ten commandments
POWER OR AUTHORITY
In these days the subject of authority is always very important. Satan has emphasized power, and there was a time when power was an issue. Just before His ascension, Jesus told His disciples, “You shall receive power after the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you shall be witnesses unto Me” (Acts 1:8). There… Continue reading POWER OR AUTHORITY
THE MAGNIFICENT MEEK
Now it came about on one of those days, that He got into a boat, He and His disciples, and said to them, “Let us go over to the other side of the lake.” And they launched out. But as they were sailing along He fell asleep; and a fierce gale of wind descended upon… Continue reading THE MAGNIFICENT MEEK
Quicken the mortal
For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us. For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not of its own will,… Continue reading Quicken the mortal
Living in the secret place
The secret place of the most high is our spirit. How do we dwell in the secret place of the most high? How do we live there, how do we connect with that? First we need to realize is that our spirit is not of this world. It came out of heaven into our body… Continue reading Living in the secret place
Wholly sanctified
Let us describe briefly the condition that is in the world. In the world today we speak a great deal of the law of the jungle wherein the stronger devour the weaker. Then you remember Isaiah’s prophecy, “They will not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain. The wolf shall lie down with the… Continue reading Wholly sanctified
Intensity of desire
Very soon the hunger of people is going to be so great that they will literally demand leadership to enable them to walk with God. We can help create that demand. There’s no point in backing off because we have a few problems. The best way to get rid of problems is to be dedicated… Continue reading Intensity of desire
The dawning of His kingdom
In the days ahead of us, the spirit realm is going to become so real to the believer. There will be visitations that are not vagaries nor obscure impressions, as we walk in the things of another world. This is very Scriptural: it has been there in the Word all the time. We have not… Continue reading The dawning of His kingdom
God will be to you what you believe Him to be
May you experience this Psalm. The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer, even mine; God, my rock, in him will I take refuge; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and My saviour, thou savest me from violence. I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy… Continue reading God will be to you what you believe Him to be
Contrary winds
In these days that are so busy we should do everything we can to help and to hold up one another with all faith. Sometimes people misunderstand each other, they misunderstand God and they misunderstand themselves and what is happening to them. If it were not for the revelation and prophecy that come in this… Continue reading Contrary winds
Sitting where they sit
Sometimes people react because of pressures and circumstances that are almost unbelievable. A person ought always to be slow to condemn someone else. What is the old Indian saying? “Never judge another man until you walk in his moccasins for a week.” When Ezekiel was caught away in the Spirit, he had great criticisms. He… Continue reading Sitting where they sit
The path to grace
And Jacob their father said unto them, Me have ye bereaved of my children: Joseph is not, and Simeon is not, and ye will take Benjamin away: All these things are against me. Genesis 42:36. All things are against me—Jacob says these words when actually deliverance had been provided by the Lord: Joseph was the… Continue reading The path to grace
Active faith
Take everything that you learn of the principles of this walk, the truths that you have learned, and start putting them into action. Instead of being just one who dreams of things, learn how to bring your dreams into reality. Instead of being one who retreats or withdraws from life, enter into it, and live… Continue reading Active faith
Remember God now in the days of your youth
They shall make that joyful noise in the house of the Lord and offer up the incense of worship unto the praise of the Lord. Let there be within your heart the release, for the Lord speaketh unto thee to loose thee, to make thee a worshiper in spirit and in truth. He brings forth… Continue reading Remember God now in the days of your youth
Let there be a certainty in your heart
Let your heart be lifted with worship unto the Lord; praise ye the Lord together. Let there be in thy heart not a question of what is going to be, but a certainty within your heart that what the Lord hath spoken surely shall come to pass. What the Lord hath prophesied to thee, surely… Continue reading Let there be a certainty in your heart
True counselors and witnesses
In the multitude of counselors there is safety. The church will succeed when its counselors are ordered of God. Where there is no prophecy (no prophetic vision), the people perish. Where there is a word of revelation, not at the mouth of one, but at the mouth of many witnesses, there is safety. The church… Continue reading True counselors and witnesses
The right meditation
What we are and what the Word is to us is largely controlled by our own thinking. To the pure all things are pure: but to them that are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but both their mind and their conscience are defiled. Titus 1:15. Those who are the most influenced by their circumstances… Continue reading The right meditation
How do we change
2 Corinthians 3: 16 but whenever a person turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. 17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 18 But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same… Continue reading How do we change
The spirit of heaviness judged
The Spirit speaketh of that which the Body should engage in warfare, of a way that we can enter into victory. The Holy Spirit has brought so real the battle against the spirit of heaviness and the resentment of the enemy that has come upon the people of God until they are heavy and they… Continue reading The spirit of heaviness judged
Coming into an age of honesty
How is this story of repentance and sanctification that is coming to us now different from the old way in the days when Jonathan Edwards wrote a book on repentance? The word repentance is metanoia, the root of the word is metanoeo which consists of two words 1-close associate with.2- thoughts coming into your consciousness.… Continue reading Coming into an age of honesty
God willed to make known
Many times we read Scriptures that we do not always understand until we reach a new spiritual level. Then, suddenly everything we have been reading opens up. Luke 24:30, 31 tells how two disciples on the way to Emmaus were sitting at the table, and Jesus broke the bread. And their eyes were opened and… Continue reading God willed to make known
