The Bible tells us the story of Samuel who did not recognize the Voice of the Lord until Eli instructed him to say “Speak, Lord, for Your servant hears”. 1 Sam. 3:9 Jesus said His sheep hear His Voice—but how many of us do not always discern the Voice of Our Lord? The Scriptures […]

  The Old Testament tells of the Israelites turning their worship of God into a meaningless ritual. They continued offering their sacrifices that fore-shadowed the coming of Christ, but in their hearts, they loved false gods. Therefore they lost their relationship with the Almighty God! Perhaps we could compare this to a married couple who […]

  Jacob wrestled with God to obtain favor with his brother. It lasted through a whole night until Jacob cried out–not just for his own will to be done, but for the necessity of the blessing of God to be imparted in his entire life! God has ordained for His people to have a very […]

OF WHAT WILL WE PARTAKE? We are in a world of many choices—in fact, every day we must choose with what we will unite! The things of which we partake will (without question) become a part of us! The surrounding culture clamors for us to be like them in their pursuit of many material possessions […]

  In the beginning the earth was without form and void. Into this darkness God strategically spoke light!

  Spiritual darkness and deception have risen in our present time. As we look at the culture and how far it has drifted from the will of God, we wonder what can turn it around and how great is the battle? Then we consider the creation when the face of the earth was covered in […]

  Israel was placed in a land surrounded by idol worshippers–not to be conformed to their idolatry but to manifest the true God to those who did not know Him! Even so, we ourselves are immersed in a culture of unrighteousness that is endeavoring to mold us into their likeness–but we must be Light in […]

  Elijah prayed earnestly that it would not rain–and rain ceased! After three and a half years of drought, he prayed again and the heavens poured down rain! The Bible’s comment in James 5:16 is “The effective fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.” It also explains that Elijah had a nature like ours–lest […]

When Jesus was here on earth He said He did only what He heard the Father say or do! Now He is in the place of Authority—to work through “His Body”–His true disciples in the earth–and fulfill His sovereign plan! As we pray, perhaps our first thought should be “What is God’s present will–that His […]
