Fellowship that Fuels

Yesterday was a day of our LORD showing just how much HIS grace is sufficient and working in His people, His body, to bring forth His good fruit (1 Corinthians 15:10) …

“But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet NOT I, BUT THE GRACE OF GOD which was with me.” 1 Corinthians 15:10

Did you see that? Do we realize that God’s grace—His divine influence upon our hearts and empowerment in our lives—is working in us, in you, as you are seeking and obeying God? Read that verse above again, real closely. Mega divine revelation.

When we have exerted labor, when we are tired, are worn out, Jesus Christ our LORD, the very “Almighty” God of all that is, is still working mightily! (Revelation 1:8)

God always fuels, works in and through His saints as they worshipfully abide in Him, obey Him.

“And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.” 2 Corinthians 12:9-10

Okay. Wait. If the power of God works mightily in and through us when we are “weak” …. perhaps a biblical prayer could be:

Holy Father, please make me weak the way You define it – that the power of Christ might reign in this Your vessel, for Your eternal glory. Please do it dear LORD. Make me weak that Your grace in Christ might overpower this Your vessel. In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen!

It was obvious that brother Daniel was greatly edified after the fellowship he and I enjoyed last week, which included an unplanned call from brother Bill Wegener and lengthy conversation between Bill and Daniel.

“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.” Colossians 3:16

When we honor God by letting HIS Word dwell richly, abundantly among us, as His people, great things happen, every time.

In addition to the Word being shared together, brother Daniel was inspired by a brother in Christ who called and spoke with him. Daniel told me that reading the Scriptures and praying the prayer each morning through the Moments with Our Master book has truly bolstered his life in Christ, fueling him into daily Gospel action.

(Keep in mind that the Moments book states in the very front that NOTHING takes the place of Bible reading.)

The goal of the vast majority of “pastors” operating out of official church buildings in the modern church world is not the feeding, the equipping of Christ’s saints but rather to build their church business. This is unlike what we see amongst the earliest followers of Jesus (John 21:15-17; Acts 4:11-16; 1 Peter 5:1-6; Hebrews 13:7, 17).

Any person not living a Great Commission life, is living a wasted life.
They are out of the will of God.
Read that again.

MAY God grant repentance to any who claim to be Christ’s and aren’t executing HIS Great Commission mandate – they prove to be cross-less, to have reject Jesus as their “first love” in this brief life, and to be all about their own life, business, and not the “Father’s business” (Luke 2:49; Revelation 2:4-5). Repentance needed or irrevocable damnation awaits.

Anyone claiming to be saved and not participating in Christ’s Great Commission is deceived (Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 16:15-20).

We know those who have truly repented and are truly right with God, ready for Heaven …. by those obeying the cross and Great Commission commands Jesus gave us. ALL other professing “Christians” are lukewarm at best and ready to be spued, vomited, rejected (Revelation 3:15-16).

The true fellowship of the early church consisted of four things. Can you find them here in the first verse of this amazing passage?

“And they continued stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. 43 And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles. 44 And all that believed were together, and had all things common; 45 And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need. 46 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, 47 Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.” Acts 2:42-47

True fellowship, and Christian living (lifestyle) does not increase allegiance to a certain church or pastor but rather to Christ Himself—“In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge” (Colossians 2:1-19).

In the end of Acts 2 we see that these new saints in Christ “continued stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers” (Acts 2:42). It was immediately after the birth of our LORD’s church at Pentecost and so there was no time to yet have a pastoral bureaucracy. Paul feared, and warned us of such with tears (Acts 20:20-32). There is no mention of a “head pastor” controlling the gold and the bureaucracy. The fellowship was clean and simple—so that Christ could be magnified. It consisted of:

“the apostles’ doctrine” (Word)
“fellowship”
“breaking of bread”
“prayers”

As we see in the ensuing chapters of the Book of Acts, that such Christ-glorifying fellowship fueled the saints to do great exploits.

“Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word.” Acts 8:4

Speaking of religious bureaucracy, recently I was made aware of a local church, pastor in the Dallas area, who is raising 16 million dollars to build a pickle ball court. And to think just how dark and lost such a congregation is to even put up with much less fund such a fraud. A basketball or pickle ball court will lead ZERO people to Christ, ever. No such thing as a disciple of Jesus participating or even fellowship with such abomination.

Let me get this straight ….
the wolf you call “pastor” is collecting money to build a new building, to build a basketball court, to increase his real estate portfolio, etc. ….. and you still don’t see he’s a fraud?

WHERE did Jesus or His holy apostles collect one penny to build any building to further Christ’s kingdom? Chapters and verses please.

Any person claiming to be a child of God and yet is not involved in the “Fathers business” of the Great Commission, is a counterfeit. Such a person proves they are not saved, do not care about Jesus and the Father who sent His “little flock” to preach and teach the Word of the Gospel (Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 16:15; Luke 2:49; 23:12; 24:27; Book of Acts; 2 Timothy 4:2, etc.).

Brother Daniel was calling all excited, etc., and I couldn’t answer his calls till later…. only to see how God was using him later as we spoke. He took it upon himself to hear and be fueled by, and answer God’s call to go minister. And he did just that – just him and Jesus! Imagine that! This type of Gospel action and fruit doesn’t happen when people are told by other Christians, by religious dupes, to “go find a church” or “come to our church” (country club). We all know people who have been “in church” life and are leading no one to Jesus, don’t even have enough fear of God to get up each morning and seek the face of the LORD in the Word and prayer, etc. They aren’t even lukewarm, they are “trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots.”

“These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;” Jude 12

Years ago, I ceased to even hint of “going to find a church” to any born again saints, especially new ones. No. Such is a trap and we’ve all seen the fruit it’s produced. Stop. Step back. WHY do you think America, on the brink of destruction has progressively become so apostate, departed from the truth, from decency, from that which is right in the eyes of God? It’s happened at the hands of a perverted priesthood of seminarian and greedy frauds perpetrating a false Jesus, a false gospel, fueled by “another spirit” (2 Corinthians 11:2-5; Galatians 1:6-9).

Recently I was blessed to meet and have now fellowshipped with a dear man named Jorge. During our time of fellowship together, brother Jorge informed me that he’s never been part of a local church gathering for the last 42 years after Jesus saved him. He fellowships daily with Jesus and the Father and other of His saints. Jorge told me that he was saved one night 42 years ago on the streets of Mexico at the bless-ed preaching of a disciple of Jesus who was from America and had come down to preach in Mexico. What a beautiful story.

God teaches us “fellowship” is His stated will and that doesn’t mean, that doesn’t equal joining a man’s “church” club to become a member and incubated into hell bound lukewarmness (Revelation 3:14-22).

Haven’t we stopped to see that something is amiss in the waiting till Sunday to “fellowship”? That is, but one day per week, to “fellowship” (if you can call it that)?

The fellowship of the earliest followers of Jesus was “daily” and was not limited to a “temple” but was done everywhere, “in every house,” etc.

“And DAILY in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.” Acts 5:42

Our walk and fellowship with Christ and His people is “daily” and not weekly (Luke 9:23-24).

See if you can find a “church building” in the following verse:

“But exhort one another DAILY, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.” Hebrews 3:13

This kind of teaching, from God’s Word, helps enlighten His saints and defund the wolves Jesus and His holy apostles so often warned us about (Matthew 7:15; 24:11; 2 Peter 2:1-3; 1 John 4:1, etc.).

Here we have a modern witness of a man, a new disciple of Jesus, Daniel, having never once attended an official church meeting. Here he is, shortly after Jesus saving him, seeking the face of our LORD daily, evangelizing, spreading Christ’s Gospel on the streets – bringing the Good News to the people. Sound like the Book of Acts? Yes.

Now, how many “good church goers/attenders” do you personally know who have ever witnessed to a sinner, much less early after being saved? In so many cases, they are told to “go find a church” and their lives, time, God-given talents, energy, presence, and finances, are being wasted, exploited. And they shall give full account to God for serving men and not God (Galatians 1:10).

“Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men.” 1 Corinthians 7:23

To put it lightly, they are in big trouble unless they repent.

“But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. 2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. 3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.” 2 Peter 2:1-3

Challenge: Stop. Think about what you have personally witnessed in this matter. Honestly, how many “good church attenders/members” do you know who daily seek the LORD and are fruitful in making Christ known, ministering to the lost and edifying the members of body of Christ.

Honestly, I doubt many of us know 3-5 people who are truly following Jesus, true disciples, who daily worship and serve Him.

Is it any wonder that Jesus calls His flock, a “little flock”? (Luke 12:32)

All who truly Love Jesus Labor for His Eternal Glory

Those who labor for Christ prove they love Him. They are about the “Father’s business” and not their own. Jesus said:

“Wist (knew) ye not that I must be about my Father’s business?” Luke 2:49

With these truths in mind, read Matthew 9:35-38 and the Book of Acts.

Each of us is blessed to be surrounded by good ministries. They feed us and they are winning souls (street preachers, God-called Bible teachers, etc). Please pray for and support them saints (Galatians 6:6; Philippians 1:19, etc.). This way we are all, each member of Christ’s body, participating in the Great Commission mandate He gave us—and is coming back to take account of the stewardship of our lives—time, talent, treasure, etc. (Ephesians 4:11-16, etc.). Let’s roll saints. Jesus is coming.

In this hour the vast majority of people alive on this earth waste their time and substance upon this fleeing world, upon obtaining more temporal trinkets. But God calls us—you and me—to pour our lives and resources into Him, into His Great Commission work. It will be forever rewarded. There will be no regrets.

“Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: 20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” Matthew 6:19-21

YOUR PRAYER: Holy Father, please forgive me for doing my own thing instead of Yours. Please convict me of all sin, of everything that defiles me in Your holy eyes. Cut off occasion from the enemy. Please don’t let this life You gave, my one life in this world, be wasted. Let it be used up daily for Your eternal glory. Bless me to live in vital abiding union with You LORD Jesus. Fill me afresh with Your Holy Ghost and use me dear LORD. Make me to become Your consummate edifier of Your saints and Your soul winner. In Jesus’ name.

What is the Great Commission? [podcast]

What is the Great Commission? Who gave it? Who was the Great Commission given to? The Great Commission is simply the spreading of Jesus’ Word by teaching it to the world. Jesus gave it. He gave it to all of His people and holds each of them personally responsible for fulfilling it. Each of us will give full account to Him in this specific matter when we stand to be judged by Him. The Great Commission “And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 Go ye therefore, and […]

His Grace is Sufficient for Thee [podcast]

“WHEN HE HAD BY HIMSELF purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high.” Hebrews 1:3 ALL “BY HIMSELF” Jesus redeemed us, bought, brought us back to God by the shedding of His precious blood on that cross. Jesus needed no help: He alone was sufficient to propitiate, expiate, atone for the sins of mankind. The grace of Christ which saved us through His perfect sacrifice is the same and only grace that keeps us and enables His perfect will in our lives! Here’s how that works in His kingdom economy: He who died, was buried, and raised […]

Top 12 Missing Essential Doctrines in the Modern Church World! [podcast]

DOES THIS SOUND LIKE YOUR “CHURCH” OR FAVORITE PREACHER? It’s real simple… if they are not preaching the cardinal doctrines of the original Gospel given to us in the New Testament, they are preaching “another gospel” and are “accursed.” (Galatians 1:6-9). “For MANY DECEIVERS ARE ENTERED INTO THE WORLD, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. 8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. 9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, […]

The Daily Cross in Prayer [podcast]

Prayer is inseparably connected with knowing God (John 17:3).

(Excerpt from the book I Die Daily)

“My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.” Psalms 5:3

Let’s isolate and dismantle these words of God a bit. Under the direct inspiration of the Holy Spirit, David says to the LORD:

That He (God) would hear his (David’s) “voice”
That “in the morning” the Psalmist would arise and seek God in prayer
Deliberately “in the morning,” he would “direct” his prayer and praying to the LORD – “in the morning … I will look up”

From this passage, we see that David planned or scheduled, in an intentional and calculated fashion, to meet with the LORD every morning. The phrase “in the morning” appears twice in this inspired transmission of the Holy Ghost. The man whose heart panted after the LORD – to behold His precious beauty – declared that he would “direct” (point) his prayer upward to the LORD “in the morning.” (Ps. 5:3; 27:4; Acts 13:22) Communing with the LORD was priority to David, and therefore occupied first place in his daily life. He sought the LORD firstly as he arose from sleep, and before he went forth into his day.

Jesus commanded that if any person will come after Him – truly follow Him – he must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Him (Luke. 9:23-24). There is no place that the cross applies more than in daily prayer. The moment one arises, he will choose either to seek God or dwell upon self-sentiments and such. He will seek Christ, or he will seek his own salvation or rescue from his troubles. We all make a “daily” choice:

“… choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.” Joshua 24:15

No different from those covenant saints the LORD spoke to in this important passage, those whom we dwell among are serving self – the flesh – and yet we are called upon by the LORD to “choose” to daily serve Him rather than self. We are called to “be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world; Holding forth the word of life.” (Phil. 2:15-16)

The LORD is calling us to purposefully declare Him as the LORD and Master of our lives, and this we do by making the premeditated decision to seek Him daily in prayer communion. Like Joshua, the way we “choose” to “serve” God must be premeditated, deliberate, daily, and in practicality. Daily, early morning, first fruit prayer is all three of these. It is the fruit of the crucified life – the life that is dead to self and in whom Christ dwells and reigns. – “Ye are dead and your life is hid with Christ in God.” (Col. 3:3)

To those who seek God and not their own devices, there are many benefits (Ps. 68:19).

“Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7

The precious peace of the “Prince of Peace” rules and reigns and makes sound the hearts of those who deny self’s ability to overcome and solve issues and problems, and instead earnestly and diligently rely upon God’s power to do such for them (Isa. 9:6; 26:3).

“Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength.” Isaiah 26:3-4

As we fix our whole being upon Jesus Christ, our thoughts will be upward to His “glorious high throne,” which is “the place of our sanctuary.” (Jer. 17:12)

God is calling each of His saints to give his whole being to Christ, and to those things that “are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things” (Php. 4:8).

So, according to Philippians 4:6-8, saints are to rely upon the LORD and not self by submitting all their requests in prayer to Him who is their Source, and to think upon those things of Christ which are “true … honest … just … pure … lovely … of good report … if there be any virtue … if there be any praise.” It is upon “these things” that we are instructed to “think on.” (Phil. 4:8)

God’s thoughts are infinitely higher than ours, and yet it is not until we become truly “crucified with Christ” that we are going to be ruled by His thoughts and peace (Isa. 55:8-9; Gal. 2:20; Phil. 4:6-7).

Changing the way one thinks is being done by millions of people who are not regenerated (not born again). New age and religious teachers hold this thought transformation teaching closely. Anyone can change the way they think for self-serving reasons – to stop smoking, to visualize and earn more money, to have more self-esteem, etc. However, hell still awaits all who are not born again, and that takes facing the living God and Judge in repentance for sin and placing all faith in Jesus Christ, the only Savior (Acts 4:12; 1 Tim. 2:5). The only renewing of the mind and thoughts that brings glory to Jesus Christ, is that which begins with one casting his whole being upon the LORD afresh – presenting himself a “living sacrifice … unto God.” Let’s look at Romans 12:

“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” Romans 12:1-2

Those who are presenting their bodies to the LORD as “living sacrifice(s)” are infused and enabled by His grace to keep their minds or thoughts stayed (fixed) upon the LORD and not self, as they look for Jesus’ soon return (Col. 3:1-4). They trust Christ and not their own strength, reasoning, whims, philosophies, or wisdom. As they give themselves over to Christ and His infinite divine power, and become weak in self and self’s abilities, Jesus’ power raises them up to trust Him and rely upon Him alone – to rest the weight of their whole beings in Him who is able. They first declare that they are not able, and that only “God is able.” (Eph. 3:20; 2 Cor. 9:8) These are they who have and are finding out in a personal way that there really is nothing impossible with the LORD!

“And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.” Mark 10:27

Abraham trusted God. He is our human example of a man who walked with God – by faith believing that God would raise up that to which he died. Concerning the promise of a son being born to him and his aged wife, the Bible records these words from the LORD to His servant Abraham:

“Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.” Genesis 18:14

If God can and will split the Red Sea for His people, and cause a 100-year-old man and his 90-year-old wife to have a child, what in your life can’t He do? (Gen. 17:17)

Here’s yet another question posed to our hearts from the LORD:

“Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?” Jeremiah 32:27

God requires that we die to self-will, self-help, and self-esteem, and lay our lives in His holy, perfect, and more-than-sufficient hands. He can then work in us and in our lives – raising up His holy standard and power to glorify Himself in and through His children. Nothing will be impossible for the LORD to perform in the lives of those who deny themselves and, like Abraham, trust God to raise up His solutions, answers, and blessings to bring Himself glory.

“(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth (makes alive) the dead, and (God) calleth those things which be not as though they were.” Romans 4:17

God called forth Isaac out of Abraham’s loins when it was an otherwise impossibility in the natural. In your life, beloved, “Is there anything too hard for the LORD?” (Gen. 18:14)

Our connection with God is all about relationship, and the quality of that relationship is exemplified in our prayer lives – or lack thereof. If a person is pursuing the LORD, he has a prayer life. He lays down his own desires and life and seeks God’s life. This is perhaps in no other scrutiny seen more clearly than in the value he assigns to his prayer life, and the heart affections and time he is willing to invest in it.

In Psalms 63, the Psalmist captures the life of the person who truly has a heart after God.

“O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is; To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary. Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee. Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name. My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips: When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches. Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice. My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.” Psalms 63:1-8

The following is an excerpt from My Utmost for His Highest, by Oswald Chambers:

“’At that day ye shall ask in My name.’ John 16:26. We are too much given to thinking of the Cross as something we have to get through; we get through it only in order to get into it. The Cross stands for one thing only for us – a complete and entire and absolute identification with the Lord Jesus Christ, and there is nothing in which this identification is realized more than in prayer.

‘Your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask Him.’ Then why ask? The idea of prayer is not in order to get answers from God; prayer is perfect and complete oneness with God. If we pray because we want answers, we will get huffed with God. The answers come every time, but not always in the way we expect, and our spiritual huff shows a refusal to identify ourselves with Our Lord in prayer. We are not here to prove God answers prayer; we are here to be living monuments of God’s grace.

‘I say not that I will pray the Father for you: for the Father Himself loveth you.’ Have you reached such an intimacy with God that the Lord Jesus Christ’s life of prayer is the only explanation of your life of prayer? Has Our Lord’s vicarious life become your vital life? ‘At that day’ you will be so identified with Jesus that there will be no distinction.

When prayer seems to be unanswered, beware of trying to fix the blame on someone else. That is always a snare of Satan. You will find there is a reason which is a deep instruction to you, not to anyone else.”

PRAYER: Father, please bless this life to honor You and Your will first and foremost in this life You have granted, by my being authentically crucified with Christ. Please unite my heart to fear Your holy name and to number with wisdom this short time on this earth as a gift from You. I love You, Jesus, and thank You for dying for my sins and for the resurrection power of the Holy Ghost You placed in us upon salvation, and the infilling of the Holy Spirit. You must increase but I must decrease. This moment, if never before, I declare and deliberately decide to place You first daily in my life – I am crucified with Christ. Early will I seek Thee. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

The Sanctified Cleansed Church Jesus is Returning For [podcast]

“Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.” John 15:3 When God is speaking to His obedient disciple, though the ingestion of His words, there is a continual cleansing – “with the washing of water by the word” (Ephesians 5:26). This is not happening unless one is truly continuing with Christ via His Word. Each and every abiding disciple of Jesus relishes, diligently devours, and lives by His words (John 8:31-32). “Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.” John 17:17 Christ makes it clear here that sanctification occurs in every abiding disciple of […]

He gave all of Himself freely in obedience to His Father and to redeem mankind. “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.” Romans 12:1 In His […]

Teach the Bible [podcast]

JESUS IS COMING AND THE TRUE BODY OF CHRIST IS “HOLDING FORTH (BOLDLY DECLARING) THE WORD OF LIFE” “Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.” Philippians 2:16 WHEN you speak God’s Word, you are speaking divine authority. “These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.” Titus 2:15 “And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing […]

The Majestic Eternal Word [podcast]

“We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: 20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.” 2 Peter 1:19-21 Did you know that God has magnified His Word even above His holy name? “I will […]

Current Events and the Name of Jesus Christ [podcast]

“And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.” John 14:13-14

IF we are praying God’s WORD in the name of JESUS CHRIST…. in His bless-ed humility, God is answering!

I don’t think we begin to realize the power that is in the name of Jesus Christ – and available exclusively to those who are HIS.

Memorize the word of our LORD Jesus recorded in John 14:13-14.

“I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.” Luke 13:3

One commentator notes: “The universal fascination with knowing what is going on in the world has ancient roots. Knowing that Jesus is a well-known rabbi, some ask for his take on the hot news of the day. “There were some present at that very time who told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices” (Luke 13:1). Pilate, the governor, has executed some Jews while they were in the act of offering their sacrifices, mingling their blood with the animal blood. Jewish sentiment is likely strongly against Pilate, although some seem to be critical of the people who have suffered. Maybe they deserved it.”

America is Under Divine Judgment [podcast]

Chasing the American dream all the way to hell? Are you bowing before your Maker who came and died to save you from sin and this world? Or, are you bowing before “old glory—the red, white, and blue”? “Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:” Revelation 3:17 Every person reading these very words is making his eternal bed in Heaven or in hell. “Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near […]

WHAT is the Context of Fighting the Good Fight of Faith?

What was Paul speaking of when he declared that Christ’s disciples must “Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses”? (1 Timothy 6:12) First off, it’s a “good fight” because we are going to win – yet only if we do things God’s way with no compromise. What do we fight against? What must we put under foot, conquer and reign victorious over? What did the Holy Spirit in Paul mean by fighting the good fight of faith? Think context. You have to […]

"Faith is the Substance of Things Hoped for"

If you don’t understand how your vehicle works, why do you still drive it? “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Hebrews 11:1 Is there “substance,” that which is substantial in our faith in God? The Greek word from which “substance” is derived is hupostasis. Definition: hoop-os’-tas-is From a compound of G5259 and G2476; a setting under (support), that is, (figuratively) concretely essence, or abstractly assurance (objectively or subjectively): – confidence, confident, person, substance. In the times, the seasons of testings, of attack, we are undergirded, supported by the substantial presence, the […]
