You Need To Look Again
Unlock Spiritual Vision: See God’s Unseen Power Around You! [2Ki 6:15-17 NASB95] 15 Now when the attendant of the man of God had risen early and gone out, behold, an army with horses and chariots was circling the city. And his servant said to him, “Alas, my master! What shall we do?” 16 So he answered, “Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” 17 Then Elisha prayed and said, “O…
Revival meetings are commanded.
Revival meetings are God’s idea. [Deu 16:16 NASB95] 16 “Three times in a year all your males shall appear before the LORD your God in the place which He chooses, at the Feast of Unleavened Bread and at the Feast of Weeks and at the Feast of Booths, and they shall not appear before the LORD empty-handed. God wants special times of immersion. God commanded that there be special times when His people immersed themselves in the things of God.…
Sometime we are not ok.
Sometimes, we are not ok. [1Ki 19:4 NASB95] 4 But he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree; and he requested for himself that he might die, and said, “It is enough; now, O LORD, take my life, for I am not better than my fathers.” Elijah wants to die just from calling fire from heaven and drought-ending rain. In this verse, Elijah is not ok. As a result of…
Word of Faith has an error.
Don’t quit praying and looking for your miracle. [1Ki 18:43 NASB95] 43 He said to his servant, “Go up now, look toward the sea.” So he went up and looked and said, “There is nothing.” And he said, “Go back” seven times. Here is where I part company from the Word of Faith message. The Word of Faith message is one of the most potent systematic theologies in Christianity. It has changed my life. Applying the principles of the Word…
A Message in a Mess
Sometimes, we get confused about what is happening. [1Ki 17:18 NASB95] 18 So she said to Elijah, “What do I have to do with you, O man of God? You have come to me to bring my iniquity to remembrance and to put my son to death!” A battle amid a miracle. This woman was in the middle of a provision miracle—the oil and flour were still multiplying. Things were good. Then, her son dies. What! Why? She is understandably…
It’s A Miracle
Miracles are God’s Will for You. [Jas 5:17-18 NASB95] 17 Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the earth for three years and six months. 18 Then he prayed again, and the sky poured rain and the earth produced its fruit. Elijah: A New Testament Example James uses the Old Testament prophet Elijah as an example of how God wants to work in…
A “thief” is coming.
Jesus is Coming. [1Th 5:2 NASB95] 2 For you yourselves know full well that the day of the Lord will come just like a thief in the night. [2Pe 3:10 NASB95] 10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will be burned up. Two Authors. One Description. The Apostles Paul and…
I hate sickness.
I hate sickness. [Mar 1:41 NASB95] 41 Moved with compassion, Jesus stretched out His hand and touched him, and said to him, “I am willing; be cleansed.” [Jhn 11:33 NASB95] 33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her [also] weeping, He was deeply moved in spirit and was troubled, These two verses show us a powerful aspect of the healing/miracle ministry of Jesus. He was not neutral when it comes to healing. Notice in…
Hell is healthy.
Hell is Healthy. [Mat 25:46 NASB95] 46 “These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.” Did Jesus talk about hell more than he spoke about heaven? Some people say yes. Some people say no. There is no consensus about the ratio. However, Jesus talked about hell often. Why would Jesus talk about hell? It is healthy. Understanding the reality of hell and the eternal nature of hell produces healthy Christians. It produces Christians that know…
Learn to Die… Learn to Live
Learn to Die to Learn to Live Are you ok? You might need a moment to recover from that title. Now that you have recovered, let me explain. Death Is Brutal Death is brutal for us to deal with in general. We all know that death occurs. Yet, we seem ill-equipped to deal with it when it happens. I have witnessed people in their dying moments. I have spoken with them. I have prayed with them as they deal with…
What Have You Become
What have you become? The Holy Spirit is working to make us become like Jesus. In Galatians 5:22-23, the Holy Spirit inspired the Apostle Paul to describe the result of the transforming process in a Christian’s life. These are listed as “fruit” of the Spirit. Notice it is singular. There are many opinions on why it is “fruit” and not “fruits.” I believe this passage explains what the result will be when we walk by the Spirit (v.16). The Problem…
