Eye Witness II
John 20:25 “They told him, “We have seen the Lord!” But he replied, “I won’t believe it unless I see the nail wounds in his hands, put my fingers into them, and place my hand into the wound in his side.”
One of the striking things about God is that He is committed to record the whole truth about everyone in His Word. Like Peter, Thomas was not going to stick his neck out for Jesus without a hundred percent proof. Read the rest of this entry
Eye Witness I
Rev.12:11 (AMPC) “And they have overcome (conquered) him by means of the blood of the Lamb and by the utterance of their testimony, for they did not love and cling to life even when faced with death [holding their lives cheap till they had to die for their witnessing].”
Yesterday, we established that not many people would argue with the fact that Jesus actually walked on earth. We also answered the question about His resurrection based on scriptural witnesses. Read the rest of this entry
Witness
Acts 1:3 “During the forty days after he suffered and died, he appeared to the apostles from time to time, and he proved to them in many ways that he was actually alive. And he talked to them about the Kingdom of God.”

Love So Amazing!
John 10:17 “Don’t cling to me,” Jesus said, “for I haven’t yet ascended to the Father. But go find my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’”
“It is finished!” Jesus said and He took the key to death and hell from satan and bruised his head. He was taking the Blood, the atoning sacrifice to the altar in heaven and he was leading captivity captive. This was the most crucial part of the assignment. Read the rest of this entry
The Beauty
Ps. 27:1 “The Lord is my light and my salvation—so why should I be afraid? The Lord is my fortress, protecting me from danger, so why should I tremble? 4 The one thing I ask of the Lord—the thing I seek most— is to live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life…”
The grave is empty. Jesus is risen and alive! The beauty of the entire Christian experience is that our God is alive and well. The beauty of The Cross is that we were enemies of God but we have now been brought close to God and we can have fellowship with God. Jesus is alive! Read the rest of this entry
How?
Eph.3:11 “This was his eternal plan, which he carried out through Christ Jesus our Lord. 12 Because of Christ and our faith in him, we can now come boldly and confidently into God’s presence” [with emphasis].
Today’s Scripture reference answers the question posed by today’s topic, the question of how? How are we to show up before God? The Bible tells us, boldly and confidently because of Christ and our faith in Him. Read the rest of this entry
Amazing Grace!
Col.2:14 “He cancelled the record of the charges against us and took it away by nailing it to the cross. 15 In this way, he disarmed the spiritual rulers and authorities. He shamed them publicly by his victory over them on the cross” [with emphasis].
You are FREE from satan and his demonic hosts. You are EMPOWERED to destroy the works of satan and his demonic hosts. And you are FREE to walk with God. Jesus shamed the devil publicly so that you can be free to serve God. Read the rest of this entry
Do You Believe?
Mark 16:17 “These miraculous signs will accompany those who believe: They will cast out demons in my name, and they will speak in new languages. 18 They will be able to handle snakes with safety, and if they drink anything poisonous, it won’t hurt them…”
“These miraculous signs will accompany those who believe…” [with emphasis]. The Bible does not say that the miraculous signs will accompany those that are in doubt or those that are afraid. You have to hinge your confidence on Jesus and in the Word of God. Read the rest of this entry
