Understanding why Jesus is called the Son of Man will give us invaluable knowledge in how to move in the power of God. Jesus as the Son of God, we are learning the bible teaches that Holy Spirit conceived Jesus, and the Father was there for His birth. Jesus was always the Word of God… Continue reading Jesus the Son of Man

The Manifest Presence of God – Part 1 Walter Beuttler
Several years ago, the Lord asked me to shut myself in with Him. I found a place where I could be totally alone with the Lord, in fasting and prayer. Sunday afternoon, I realized that I had spent 48 hours in prayer, fasting, and seeking the Lord, with no results. I had neither felt nor… Continue reading The Manifest Presence of God – Part 1 Walter Beuttler
Judgment seat of Christ
Some people may not fully live out their intended destiny, but encounter purification at the Judgment Seat of Christ, where that which is of lasting value is distinguished from what is not. The Lake of Fire symbolises purification rather than eternal damnation, a place of refining in God’s presence, not the end of the world… Continue reading Judgment seat of Christ
Eliminate the complicated
In this generation it is easy to wish for many things. But you will have to choose between a luxurious life of enjoying all of life’s pleasures, and a life in which you do the perfect will of God. Perhaps you are wondering, “Why must I choose? Why is it such an issue? As long… Continue reading Eliminate the complicated
30 Traits of the Jezebel Spirit
Jezebel is a spirit, but it finds access through uncrucified flesh. Although the Jezebel spirit is described in the Bible as being a woman, it does not actually have a gender. There is no doubt that it functions just as proficiently through men. 1. The Jezebel spirit refuses to admit guilt or wrong A Jezebel… Continue reading 30 Traits of the Jezebel Spirit
Trading floors
We have Legitimate desires of our heart, inbuilt by God – but we may have tried to meet these needs through other sources. When we do so we offer the enemy a sacrifice. We need to be aware of what these trading floors are, the are falling principalities. All counterfeit methods we use for giving… Continue reading Trading floors
Who Made Satan?
Most Christians believe the answer to that question is obvious: “God created Satan.” But that is not really true. God created Lucifer. That may seem like a small distinction at first glance, but once you understand who really made Satan, it will change your perspective of him forever. You will never again doubt your authority… Continue reading Who Made Satan?
Where Did I Come From?
Life’s three biggest questions are: where did I come from? who am I? and where am I going? I have found that most people have never answered these questions satisfactorily. In this message I will not attempt to answer all three, but I will begin with “where did I come from?” Although the most important… Continue reading Where Did I Come From?
What Is a Christian?
“For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly… Continue reading What Is a Christian?
Sovereignty of God
Some people have come to believe that it was the Lord that caused all their problems. They have resigned themselves to the “sovereignty of God.” I believe this is the worst doctrine in the church today. I know that this is a shocking statement and is near blasphemy to some people, but the way sovereignty”… Continue reading Sovereignty of God
Psychology vs. Christianity
Psychology has its roots in ancient philosophers like Socrates, Aristotle, and Plato. None of these men were worshipers of the true and living God. At best, they believed in a god that was not involved in the affairs of men, and at worse they worshiped multiple pagan gods. Modern psychology was brought to the forefront… Continue reading Psychology vs. Christianity
Lessons from the Christmas Story
Christmas is an awesome time of the year. As I began to seek the Lord, I became aware of all the pagan practices incorporated into the Christmas season, and I became disillusioned with the whole thing. But as I’ve grow older, I’ve come to appreciate the positive side of Christmas much more. In a culture… Continue reading Lessons from the Christmas Story
Lessons from Joseph
How many of life’s lessons have you learned through the “school of hard knocks”? I’ve certainly learned a few that way. They make great testimonies—if you survive them, but I don’t recommend it. There’s a better way! God’s Word is full of the good and bad experiences of men and women of old, placed there as examples for you… Continue reading Lessons from Joseph
Lessons from David
Whatever problem you’re facing today—whether in your finances, in your health, in your marriage, or wherever—your problem is not bigger than what David faced. He had to deal with a real, live giant. And the qualities God instilled in David that enabled him to succeed will work for you too. You’ve probably heard the story of David… Continue reading Lessons from David
Holy and His
How shall we think about God, about His people? What should be the attitude of a man of God, and what is God’s attitude toward His people and toward the man He chooses to lead them? Two passages in the book of Exodus will help us to understand what God is seeking. Then the Lord… Continue reading Holy and His
I was not known as Jehovah
God was not known as Jehovah to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. He revealed Himself by other names, such as Elohim and El Shaddai. Just before the first Passover of judgment on Egypt, He called Himself Jehovah. Whenever He does business with His people in a present manifestation, He reveals Himself as Jehovah (YHVH), which means,… Continue reading I was not known as Jehovah
When God becomes our boundries
In the Old Testament, David’s greatest sin against the Lord was not his sin with Bathsheba. The sin that brought the greatest trouble to Israel occurred when David numbered the children of Israel (II Samuel 24). From a human viewpoint, that action can be easily understood—he wanted to know how many men he could depend… Continue reading When God becomes our boundries
The hands are a channel
Take a look at your hands. Are you aware of the great significance God has attached to the hands? Concerning the hands, the psalmist David sang, Who may ascend into the hill of the Lord? And who may stand in His holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who has not… Continue reading The hands are a channel
The lifted hand of covenant
What is the scriptural meaning of the lifting up of the hands? Ezekiel 20 gives us several examples of the Lord lifting up His hand when He made a covenant with His people. We read in the following verses that He “sware unto them,” which meant in the original Hebrew that He lifted up His… Continue reading The lifted hand of covenant
The “now” remnant
Young people, as well as those in their middle years, are always looking forward to tomorrow, while old people live in yesterdays of the past. Can’t anyone ever live in the present? Paul said of David, “By the will of God he served his generation and slept with his fathers” (Acts 13:36). In other words,… Continue reading The “now” remnant
The delightful bride
Have you ever heard about select companies that come out of the remnant? What is the Church? Is the Church a part of the Kingdom, or is the Kingdom something that comes out of the Church? Who are the sons of God? Do the sons of God come out of the Kingdom or out of… Continue reading The delightful bride
Always abounding
There is nothing in us that holds back from the Word, but it frightens us at times when we hear it, for we know there cannot be a performance of it unless it be by the Lord’s endowment of grace. We have learned, day by day and moment by moment, to appropriate God’s fullness for… Continue reading Always abounding
A bag with holes
The word of the Lord has come unto the prophet, and the Lord did speak unto him and give him this word that he should speak it to the people, that they had looked for much and so the Lord brought it to nought. They did earn wages and put them in a bag full… Continue reading A bag with holes
Where is your emphasis?
The third chapter of the book of Philippians is good to apply as we approach the end of one year and the beginning of a new year, and more particularly as we are facing the end of one era of existence and the golden era of fulfillment that is coming. From it we can draw… Continue reading Where is your emphasis?
The bruised reed and the smoldering wick
Something that has intrigued me in chapter 42 of Isaiah, which is a particular chapter of prophecy on the Messiah, is the contrast of the things our Lord is to do. “Behold, My Servant, whom I uphold; My chosen one in whom My soul delights. I have put My Spirit upon Him; He will bring… Continue reading The bruised reed and the smoldering wick
Disturbing yourself
We are glad for the visitors who come in our midst. The services we have may differ from what they are accustomed but we can’t apologize because if we tried to calm this down so people wouldn’t be offended, neither would we win anyone. We are not a glorified denominational church but actually are spearheading… Continue reading Disturbing yourself
Compulsion to talk
In the book of Matthew are at least five instances where the Lord commanded those whom He had blessed to silence: “Go and tell no man.” There are three other occasions in the book of Mark, and another in the book of Luke where the Lord commanded men to be silent. The compulsion to talk,… Continue reading Compulsion to talk
The relentless rock
The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner. This is the Lord’s doing; It is marvellous in our eyes. This is the day which the Lord hath made; We will rejoice and be glad in it. Save now, we beseech thee, O Lord: O Lord, we beseech thee, send now… Continue reading The relentless rock
And let fall some of the handfuls
The book of Ruth begins with disaster. It tells the story of three widows, Naomi, Orpah, and Ruth, and the bereavement they suffered. Orpah and Ruth were Moabite women who had married Naomi’s sons in the land of Moab, where they had fled during a time of famine. Naomi and her sons were natives of… Continue reading And let fall some of the handfuls
Operation: bushel basket
Neither do men light a lamp, and put it under the bushel, but on the stand; and it shineth unto all that are in the house. Even so let your light shine before men; that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven. Matthew 5:15, 16. You don’t light… Continue reading Operation: bushel basket
The right-now God
It’s human nature to drift into a rut and become passive and withdrawn. Frequently people need someone to jar them because they tend to live in some other world rather than in the present world where God wants to meet their life. As people grow older, they tend to live in the past; when they’re… Continue reading The right-now God
Things new
Every passage in the book of Revelation has a unique timeless quality. In a sense it has taken place, it is taking place right now, and it will take place in fullness in the days to come. Let’s imagine that we’re not going to witness all the terrors of a dying age, and realize in… Continue reading Things new
Prepare today for tomorrow’s miracles
Until we are precisely where God wants us, we will not move into what He has for us. When the Israelites were ready to go over into the land of Canaan with their battle strategy all planned out, God said, “Wait—sanctify yourselves today, for tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you.” The promises of… Continue reading Prepare today for tomorrow’s miracles
That thou mayest behave thyself in the house of God
That thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God. I Timothy 3:15b. We are the house of God. It is not the building that is so significant, for God has made us living stones to build up the house of God (I Peter 2:5). But it is important that… Continue reading That thou mayest behave thyself in the house of God
What we should be anticipating now
Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, He began asking His disciples, saying, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” And they said, “Some say John the Baptist; some, Elijah; and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.” He said to them, “But who do you say that I… Continue reading What we should be anticipating now
Don’t muzzle the Ox
Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out the grain. Deuteronomy 25:4. (“The grain” was not in the original Hebrew text.) This same Scripture was quoted by Paul when he wrote about supporting himself in the ministry: Or I only and Barnabas, have we not a right to forbear working? What soldier ever… Continue reading Don’t muzzle the Ox
Underneath are the everlasting arms
Critics say that the books of Moses were not written by Moses because the thirty-fourth chapter of Deuteronomy describes his death; and no man could recount the story of his own death. But the book ends this way, And there hath not arisen a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses, whom the Lord knew… Continue reading Underneath are the everlasting arms
The power God is beaming to us
The first chapter of Ephesians expresses two glorious spiritual concepts which belong to the church right now. Verse 10 mentions how God is going to sum up all things in Christ: the things in the heavens and the things upon the earth are to be summed up in Him. Then it says in verse 11a:… Continue reading The power God is beaming to us
Beyond our understanding
Paul, a bond-servant of Christ Jesus, called as an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God, Romans 1:1. That is a salutation; yet it is one of the most conclusive things you can ever see, because it shows the prime relationship upon which we are basing all of our warfare, all of our walk… Continue reading Beyond our understanding
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
The passing and the permanent
The cry of every heart is to have a philosophy to live by, not a philosophy of man that is deceitful, but God’s way of thinking, given to us so that we can adjust to it. One of the unhappy things about the human frame of mind is that people do not seem to know… Continue reading The passing and the permanent
God’s viewpoint
Viewpoint means a lot, depending on whose viewpoint you are thinking of—our viewpoint sometimes looks one way, and God looks at the thing a little bit differently. It’s like a woman doing embroidery work: when you are little and your mom or grandmother does it you cannot see the outcome, you just think it is… Continue reading God’s viewpoint
I was glad when they said unto me
I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go unto the house of the Lord. Our feet are standing within thy gates, O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that art builded as a city that is compact together. As Galatians says, we’re come to the heavenly Jerusalem. It’s a spiritual thing, built of lively stones. Whither… Continue reading I was glad when they said unto me
The song of Solomon
Some of the great church fathers contended that the book, “The Song of Solomon” should not be in the Bible. It had a bitter struggle for its place because it’s really an erotic poem, toned down a great deal by the King James translation and American Standard version. The story, of course, has to be… Continue reading The song of Solomon
Serving the Lord with an excellent spirit
It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom a hundred and twenty satraps, who should be throughout the whole kingdom; and over them three presidents, of whom Daniel was one; that these satraps might give account unto them, and that the king should have no damage. Then this Daniel was distinguished above the presidents and… Continue reading Serving the Lord with an excellent spirit
The covering
Man is a body, soul and spirit and God has dealt with mankind on the levels of the body or the natural, the soul and the spirit. God first manifested Himself to man through the natural realm. Man’s access to God was a natural one. To make atonement for certain sins, certain sacrifices were made.… Continue reading The covering
New thinking for a new day
The Body of Christ will need a number of things in the days to come. One of them is the need to constantly push the young people. They are sincere and grasp hold of the teachings; they just need direction. They are ready to run, but they must be told which direction to run. We… Continue reading New thinking for a new day
The mystery of suffering
New believers need to have a balance regarding redemption and suffering. Why do bad things happen to good people? While I believe the bible clearly teaches that healing is the children’s bread and that healing was purchased for us at the cross, why is it that many who love the Lord and seek to do… Continue reading The mystery of suffering
His kingdom of priests
As we approach the days of the Kingdom, the teaching that the Holy Spirit is bringing to us deals to a great extent with the priesthood. This is not new teaching. To Him who ever loves us and once for all released us from our sins by His blood, and has made us a kingdom… Continue reading His kingdom of priests
The warriors-priests that God has chosen
It is good to give thy praise unto the Lord and to magnify Him together. Let thy heart be lifted in faith to contemplate the things that thy God hath declared. It will be even in advance that thou shalt behold the footprints that the Lord shall order for thee, the path in which thy… Continue reading The warriors-priests that God has chosen
The attraction of righteousness
Righteousness is an attribute of the lord and has a tremendous force of attraction on it. All of heaven is attracted to the righteousness of God when it is active inside of us. Math6: 31Therefore take no thought (to be anxious, troubled), saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall… Continue reading The attraction of righteousness
Dogs
The Lord is speaking that we draw up our battle lines against Babylon and spare no arrows against her (Jeremiah 50:14). This message is one of those arrows. Philippians chapter 3 is one of the great chapters of the New Testament. In verse 1 we read: Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write… Continue reading Dogs
Sitting in the cell with the door open
During these days when the Lord is proclaiming such liberty to believers, the last thing we want to do is sit in a prison cell with the door open. Why are we so conditioned to bondages that we accept them, even when the Lord has proclaimed our freedom? He declared through Isaiah that the year… Continue reading Sitting in the cell with the door open
The instant crop
In this hour, the Lord is opening up the Word and revealing truths which believers never really understood before. One such portion of Scripture is found in the eighth and ninth chapters of the book of Amos. Amos prophesied to the northern ten tribes of Israel. At the time when he made his appearance to… Continue reading The instant crop
Clean house again Lord
The second chapter of John records the account of 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 showing us that there will be exploits, and there will also be judgments visited… Continue reading Clean house again Lord
The journey from yesterday to tomorrow
We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not despairing; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying about in the body the dying of Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body. For we who live are constantly being delivered over to death… Continue reading The journey from yesterday to tomorrow
We’re not dead fish
There are people who come into a Spirit-led worship service who are not very sympathetic to the worship. It seems strange to them. We should respect their opinion. They may feel that they want more dignity, which in their minds is the kind of reverence that is quiet in the worship services. They are perfectly… Continue reading We’re not dead fish
I will awaken the dawn
God wants to give us an immunity for the days ahead, and He wants us to understand the nature of that immunity. It is not an immunity from the battle or from assault, but from the vulnerable position that we normally are in. God does not want us to be vulnerable, but He does not… Continue reading I will awaken the dawn
I’m an immovable mountain
Those who trust in the Lord are as Mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abides forever. Psalm 125:1. Do you want to be like a mountain that cannot be moved—a mountain not in size, but in spirit? When the Scripture says that God’s people are as Mount Zion, it does not mean that they… Continue reading I’m an immovable mountain
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!
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
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?
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
The field of blood
Matthew 27:1Now when morning had come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put Him to death; and they bound Him, and led Him away, and delivered Him to Pilate the governor. Then when Judas, who had betrayed Him, saw that He had been condemned, he felt… Continue reading The field of blood
THE COCKEYED CHRISTIAN
The Ninety-fifth Psalm is our meditation, but we will first read another passage to which it refers—a story from Exodus 17. And all the congregation of the children of Israel journeyed from the wilderness of Sin, by their journeys, according to the commandment of the Lord, and encamped in Rephidim: and there was no water… Continue reading THE COCKEYED CHRISTIAN
WHY METHUSELAH WAS THE OLDEST MAN?
God is long suffering and not willing that any person perish. He is love and that is Who He is, but most people do not know the nature of God. Enoch began to walk with God, because God revealed mysteries to him. Enoch began his walk with God when He was sixty five years old.… Continue reading WHY METHUSELAH WAS THE OLDEST MAN?
What’s happening to time?
Time presents two problems that we must cope with in these last days. One, Satan knows that he has but a short time, and therefore he rages against the inhabitants of the earth (Revelation 12:12); two, unless these days are shortened, no flesh will be saved alive (Matthew 24:22). Because of this, Ephesians 5:16 urges… Continue reading What’s happening to time?
Our Focus
In order to walk with the Lord in victory, it is always important to remember where to focus your consciousness. A person in great pain can go to a hypnotherapist and be put under hypnosis so that the pain can be borne or completely forgotten. Persons with terminal cases of cancer in extreme pain, can,… Continue reading Our Focus
To be a CHRISTIAN
To be a Christian, as I understand Christ, means the acceptance of the absolute authority of Jesus in all of my life. It means that in everything that I am and do when I eat and drink, when I buy and sell, when I work and play, when I read and think—that I take Jesus… Continue reading To be a CHRISTIAN
Did the Father forsake Jesus on the cross?
Why did Jesus die? Who killed him? What was his death really about? What did Jesus say about it? Jesus knew he was going to the cross, so what was he expecting? Did he say he was going to suffer the just punishment for our sins from his father? Was Jesus expecting abandonment and rejection… Continue reading Did the Father forsake Jesus on the cross?
Now the accepted time
Paul begins the sixth chapter of II Corinthians by saying, And working together with Him… The phraseology is always so careful in Paul’s language. We have degenerated into a generation of Christians who work for the Lord and who think, “Jesus needs someone to work for Him.” He needs no one to work for Him.… Continue reading Now the accepted time
Our dedication to violence of spirit
We must become dedicated to the violent approach. Some who are older often think, “Well, I don’t know; this is good for the young people, but it’s not too good for me.” There has to be something in your spirit which rises above the spirit of the age. The children of this age have a… Continue reading Our dedication to violence of spirit
Familiar spirits
Familiar spirits are personalities without bodies and are looking for human bodies to inhabit in order to express themselves in the earth. They are called demons, or unclean spirits but they are not fallen angels. At one time they had bodies and lived on the earth but God destroyed them with the earth when Lucifer… Continue reading Familiar spirits
The need for leadership
“Any areas where we are not dependent upon Jesus are marked for trouble. The trouble will bring us back to dependence upon Him, and anything we are not using for the Kingdom of God we will eventually lose.” We need to understand that no matter what our vocation, leadership is something we need to embrace… Continue reading The need for leadership
The transitory nature of this life
HEBREWS 11:9 By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise: 10. For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God. JAMES 4:14 14. Whereas ye know not what… Continue reading The transitory nature of this life
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
Rapture
Rapture is not just a doctrine, it is an experience. I am not talking about having our body transformed but those who have been caught up into heaven. Many have experienced heaven in their spirit, also in their soul through visions and trances. But those who have been raptured have been taken up in their… Continue reading Rapture
False prophets
Math 7: 15Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening (greedy for power, gain, self) wolves. 16Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 17Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt ( comes… Continue reading False prophets
Attitudes
We need to understand that things like love, joy, peace, thanksgiving, anger, hate and jealousy and all the like are not just attitudes. They are far more than just attitudes, they are a power, they are a substance, and we need to understand this. Each of these attitudes radiates out from us as a power… Continue reading Attitudes
Focus,focus
Everything we receive from God depends upon our focus. Jesus has made a perfect provision for us, and the Holy Spirit was given to us to help us receive it. We have to focus on a promise of God, until we receive it as a revelation in our spirit. We have to meditate upon it… Continue reading Focus,focus
Attaining resurrection life
I Corinthians 15:50–58 Now I say this, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. Behold, I tell you a mystery; we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet;… Continue reading Attaining resurrection life
Bumblebees can’t fly
Bumblebees are amazing little creatures. According to the laws of aerodynamics, bumblebees should not be able to fly. When you compare the size and structure of their wings with the size and weight of their bodies, it would seem to indicate that bumblebees cannot fly. But you cannot convince a bumblebee of that. 6For to… Continue reading Bumblebees can’t fly
The prayer closet
We need to learn how to abide in the spirit under pressure. The Lord is with us always; He never leaves nor forsakes us, we have to learn how to tune into Him so that His life is flowing into us. He is an ever present help in times of trouble. He lifts us up… Continue reading The prayer closet
When all else fails
PSALMS 103:19 The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all. We live in days of constant change and nothing seems to be certain anymore. There was a time when most things in our lives were predictable, at least to a certain degree. Change is a constant factor in… Continue reading When all else fails
Fathers and sons
When Rome burned, Nero blamed the Christians; however, historians say that evidence proves that Nero was absolutely guilty. In that ignoble hour of persecution, he killed apostles and prophets and Christians. That was the climate in which Paul wrote the Epistle of II Timothy. Notice especially three verses in 2 Timothy 4 –Make every effort… Continue reading Fathers and sons
Two relationships
TWO RELATIONSHIPS We have two relationships with God, one in the time realm and one in eternity. In the time realm we have two relationships with God- now in the present moment and one in the future. Hebrews 10: 14 For by one offering he hath perfected (past-perfect tense-the finished result of the action, To complete,… Continue reading Two relationships
The seed of God
THE SEED OF GOD What happened when we were born again in the natural realm? The spirit of Christ was infused into our spirit, not our soul, but into our spirit. All that Jesus is, the whole spiritual DNA of the Lord was put into our spirit, by the seed of the Lord. Our spirit… Continue reading The seed of God
The personality of the Word
Heb 4:12 For the word of God is quick (living) and powerful (energy in the word), and sharper (fine edge-to cut in one stroke) than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder (divide into parts) of soul (self) and spirit (movement of God), and of the joints and marrow, and a discerner… Continue reading The personality of the Word
