Posture
Rev.4:10-11 “the twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying: “You are worthy, O Lord, To receive glory and honour and power…” (NKJV]
Twice in our study of John 8, we see crowds attempt to stone Jesus. In the first instance, the wisdom that Jesus spoke confounded them and they dropped the stones and left. This same Jesus says to us in Luke 21:14-15 “So don’t worry in advance about how to answer the charges against you, for I will give you the right words and such wisdom that none of your opponents will be able to reply or refute you!” Read the rest of this entry
Citadel
Ps.91:1–2 “He who takes refuge in the shelter of the Most High will be safe in the shadow of the Almighty. He will say to the Eternal, “My shelter, my mighty fortress, my God, I place all my trust in You.” (Voice].
You need to learn to hide. This is so important, and every child must understand the weight of this truth. Hiding is not weakness; it is actually a strength. The value of your life is directly proportional to the quality of your hiding. Read the rest of this entry
Responses II
Matt.12:11-12 “Jesus said, “If any of you has a sheep and it falls into a PIT on the Sabbath, will you not take hold of it and lift it out? How much more valuable is a man than a sheep!” (NIV, emphasis added).
How do the five major world views [religions] respond if one falls into a dip pit? Yesterday, we looked at three responses. Buddha says, it is your karma. Mohammed says, you violated the law of Allah. Hindus say, the pit does not exist, it is an illusion, it is in your mind. Read the rest of this entry
Behold & Belong
1 Sam.1:10 “Hannah was in deep anguish, crying bitterly as she prayed to the Lord.” (emphasis added)
How I feel is affected by what direction I choose to face. We see from today’s scripture reference that Hannah “prayed to the Lord”. The Bible says Hannah was in deep anguish (depressed) and she turned to the Lord. Read the rest of this entry
Safe Place
Ps.16:3 (MSG) “And these God-chosen lives all around—what splendid friends they make!”
The Church is a refuge. But the painful reality is that sometimes, the last place people want to be when things do not work is the Church. For some reason, a lot of people think that the Church is a place where you go off to show off Read the rest of this entry
Tucked In
Ps.27:5-6 For he will conceal me there when troubles come; he will hide me in his sanctuary. He will place me out of reach on a high rock. 6 Then I will hold my head high above my enemies… At his sanctuary I will offer sacrifices with shouts of joy, singing and praising the Lord with music.
Prov.15:13 (GW) “… with a heartache comes depression.” (emphasis added). Sometimes, things happen that attempt to keep us down, to make us depressed. The first thing is, do not deny it. Do not push it away, Read the rest of this entry
The Difference II
Heb.12:22&24 (NIV) “But you have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem… to Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel.”
God can change His mind on a promise, but His covenant is different, and we need to understand this. With the covenant, God cannot change His mind. Let me explain. Read the rest of this entry
Fully Clad
Eph. 6:15-17 (MSG) “Truth, righteousness, peace, faith, and salvation are more than words. Learn how to apply them. You’ll need them throughout your life. God’s Word is an indispensable weapon”
Eph.6:15 For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News so that you will be fully prepared.” If you want to walk in the supernatural. If you want to see the power of the Holy Spirit Read the rest of this entry
By Him
Rom.12:2 “Don’t copy the behaviour and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.”
Today, we pick up from where we stopped yesterday, which is, it is erroneous to believe that once you are under the blood, it does not matter how you live. God shows us in His Word Read the rest of this entry
Under Cover
Ps.91:1 (NKJV) “He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 7 A thousand may fall at your side and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you”
We now know for a fact that we do not know most of the battles that God fights for us. In the place curses, God brings blessings; when we have God’s blessings Read the rest of this entry
