John 3:31. He who comes from above is above all; he who is of the earth is earthly and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all. There is a multitude of Bible teachers who embody the notion of an earthly man that speaks of the earth while failing to lay hold of The Spirit of Truth. A perfect example is the many teachings that refer to the early monarchy in Israel, as represented by Kings David and Solomon, being the “Golden Age” Of Israel. This view from the earth fails to...

"For God has done what the Law could not do, [its power] being weakened by the flesh [the entire nature of man without the Holy Spirit]. Sending His own Son in the guise of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, [God] condemned sin in the flesh [subdued, overcame, deprived it of its power over all who accept that sacrifice]," (Romans 8:3 AMPC) Everything the law commanded are right but due to the weakness of human nature, the law becomes ineffective. It lacks the capacity to help people...

A man who failed every Lenten Season (Saying the Chaplet of Mercy) One day a few years ago, one of the retreatants here approached me and asked to see me. He looked somewhat distraught. As we sat down he told me how frustrated he was with himself over his weakness and inability to live out his resolution for Lent. “I have never had a good Lent,” he told me. I thought to myself, this might not be the best time to let him know that I am pretty much in the same boat as he is. As he...

Armageddon The call goes out for the climax of the ages when the Lord gathers the rebellious together and deals with them. The details of this event are throughout God`s word. `Then I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice to all the birds that fly in the midst of heaven, “Come and gather together for the supper of the great God, that you may eat the flesh of...

The Army The Lord comes with His army to judge and make war against all rebellious mankind. `And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses.` (Rev. 19: 14) Who are these heavenly armies? There has been much confusion & error concerning them....

A message for those who may be offended by something I have said (either to you or to someone else): send me a private message and let me know. I am not a mind reader and cannot determine who is and who isn't offended through a computer screen. But I'm also not a monster. If you come to me and are genuinely upset by something I said, it's very likely that I will be happy to oblige and either change the offending remark(s) or delete them. Of course, this is within reason. If you supposedly...

Psalm 51:19 Then You shall be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, With burnt offering and whole burnt offering; Then they shall offer bulls on Your altar. Unlike the burnt (smoke ascending) offering, no part of the kaleel sacrifice could be eaten. [H3632] kaleel=entire, perfect; from [3634] kalal=perfected H3632 - kālîl - Strong's Hebrew Lexicon (KJV) Leviticus 6: 22 The priest from among his sons, who is anointed in his place, shall offer it. It is a statute forever to the...

[H6565] parar=nullified, voided, broken, severed To render a contract or covenant null and void Genesis 17:14 But the uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin—that person will be cut off from his people; he has broken My covenant. Leviticus 26: 14 But if you will not listen to Me, nor carry out all these commandments, 15 and if you reject My statutes and if your soul abhors My ordinances, so that you do not keep all My commandments, but instead break My...

The Deliverer The Lord Jesus Christ, Israel`s deliverer, is now seen coming from heaven in power and great glory. He comes in full array of His majesty and authority. We are given a wonderful description of Him revealing His Holy character and great authority over all principalities and powers in the unseen and upon earth. `Then I saw heaven opened, & behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True,...

For true disciples of Christ, koinonia (fellowship) is essential in our walk with Him in this world. Throughout the gospels we learn that Jesus set for us the example of this during His earthly ministry. The Lord made it a point to spend special time away from the crowds and this world to meet intimately with His chosen disciples for the purpose of sharing love and fellowship (koinonia). It was during these intimate meetings that Jesus would teach, encourage, correct, direct, and bond with...

"THEREFORE, [there is] now no condemnation (no adjudging guilty of wrong) for those who are in Christ Jesus, who live [and] walk not after the dictates of the flesh, but after the dictates of the Spirit." (Romans 8:1 AMPC) Jesus did not come into the world to condemn anyone but to justify as many that believe in Him (John 3:17-19). Everyone that chose not to believe in Jesus is under condemnation. He thereby rejected the Light of God that came into the world, such fellow will abide in...

Israel waiting deliverance. Israel is the `wife,` of Jehovah. He is called her `husband.` This is a symbolic picture of the relationship God has with His people, Israel. He is joined to them in a covenant purpose, and although they had turned from Him, God is bringing them back to Himself through the Lord Jesus, their Messiah. `your Maker is your husband, the Lord of hosts is His name; and your Redeemer is the Holy...

BABYLON TO JERUSALEM When the city of Babylon has been destroyed then all of heaven resounds with the praises and acclamation to God. There is the great multitude of people, the 24 elders (representing the Body of Christ) and Christ`s living ministries; all acclaim that God`s judgments are true and righteous, all acclaim salvation and glory, honour and power be unto the Lord God. `After these things I heard a loud voice of a...

The knowledge of sin is something no one can bear.

`The merchants of these things, who became rich by her, will stand at a distance for fear of her torment, weeping and wailing, and saying, “Alas, alas, that great city that was clothed in fine linen, purple, and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls! For is one hour such great riches came to nothing”...
