“And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the LORD. And, behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the LORD; but the LORD was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the LORD was not in the earthquake: And after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not…
“Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.” II Peter 1:4 KJV Throughout His Word, God has given us innumerable and invaluable promises that transcends all of our expectations. Those important promises allow us to share in His divine nature. The word nature means “a person’s…
“For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;” II Corinthians 10:3-5 KJV Whether or not we believe it,…
“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28 KJV All things work together for good. Now I like all good things. (Who doesn’t?) But we usually deal with uncomfortable situations or bad circumstances, financial dilemmas or career challenges, natural catastrophes or physical tragedies; and as far as we’re concerned, none of…
“And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.” Matthew 28:18 KJV We serve a mighty and all-powerful Christ. Is there anything that God can do that Jesus cannot do? No, because Jesus is God (John 1:1), the Creator of all things (John 1:3), the Son of God (I John 4:15), the Savior of the world (I John 4:14), our…
Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me? Jeremiah 32:27 KJV God asked Israel if there was anything too hard for Him. Job 42:2 says, “I know that thou canst do every thing, and that no thought can be withholden from thee.” Nothing is too hard for God. He can do anything. He is all powerful. He created the heaven, the…
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. John 10:27 KJV Do you recognize the voice of your daughter when she calls to you? How about your son? If you have more than one child, can you distinguish between their voices? Of course you can. And you also know the voices of other close family members – your grandchildren, parents, and siblings; or cousins who…
For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. Proverbs 2:6 KJV God desires that His children think like He does. But He knows that apart from Him that is impossible. I Corinthians 3:19 says, “For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God.” That means that only genuine believers will ever experience true wisdom – God’s wisdom. Because for us to think like God,…
Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the Lord understand all things. Proverbs 28:5 KJV To understand judgment means to recognize that there’s a consequence for sin. Sin comes with a price, and sometimes it’s a hefty price. Galatians 6:7 says that each individual reaps what they sow. A farmer doesn’t plant corn and expect to harvest wheat. No one can plant seeds of hate and bitterness and…
We have all heard the phrase “a man of his word.” When someone is a man (or woman) of their word, we know that they always keep their word. They don’t have to declare, “I promise it’ll get done…” or “I swear I’ll pay you back…” If they give their word on something, it’s as good as done. And that’s the way of God. Isaiah 55:11 says, “So shall my…
