Matthew 5:39 - "But I say unto you, That you resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also." These verses reveal the humiliation of being a Christian. When you are insulted, you must not only not resent it, but make it an occasion to exhibit the Son of God. To the saint personal insult becomes the occasion of revealing the incredible love of the Lord Jesus. The teaching of the Sermon on the Mount is not -- Do your duty, but -- Do what is not...

"And Goliath cursed David by his gods. The Philistine also said to David, "Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the sky and the beasts of the field." - 1 Samuel 18:43,44 Goliath first used fiery darts against David (his words of negativity), believing that the negativity alone would cause David to cower down! Yes, Goliath's negative words were meant to be a "first-blow" against David to weaken him so that Goliath could move in quickly for the kill! For us today, a...

Conclusion In the long course of history, mankind has seen an abundance of splendor and glory, but has also endured countless episodes of tragedy and disaster. Looking back, we find that moral rectitude ushers in clean governance, economic strength, cultural brilliance, and national prosperity; moral degeneracy portends the fall of nations and the extinction of entire civilizations. Today, mankind has reached a zenith in material wealth, yet it faces unprecedented challenges caused by the...

All other things , in comparison to Christ, are not worth a look -- they are but as vile things, as under things, as poor and low and mean and base things, in comparison to Christ. (Philippians 8:8) MEDITATION: We are to be continually taking ground for the Kingdom of God as we position ourselves in the place that He has called us to. As we continually experience His person our eyes are opened to see from His heavenly perspective. If we choose not to heed the leading of the Spirit and...

Colossians 2:9,10 - "For in Christ lives all the fullness of God in a human body. So you also are complete through your union with Christ, who is the head over every ruler and authority." Does that sound like a description of some pitiful, poor weakling that can barely make ends meet? No!. It's a description of the child of the King. God is moving all over the Earth. Stay with Him. Stay in the Word. Every day affirm and meditate on those scriptures that show us our inheritance in Jesus'...

Luke 9:23 - "If anyone wishes to come after Me; he must deny himself, and take up his cross daily and follow Me." When the Cross is alive, it burns up the flesh – dreams of the flesh, ambitions of the flesh – all of the flesh. All of the flesh it consumes. It consumed man's flesh beyond recognition, and so it is with His own. So when the Father looks down, He sees the reflection of His Son and then there becomes recognition. Let the Cross have its work. Let the grave contain what is...

As qigong became trendy in the 1990s, Falun Gong, an ancient spiritual and meditation discipline based on the principles of “Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance,” quickly stood out from thousands of...

Christ is never precious in man's apprehension, so long as the world seems glorious to him. As we begin to relish sweetness in Christ, so the world begins to be bitter to us. (1 John 1:2) MEDITATION: Are you tired of going around the same old mountain hoping to get to the top, but the obstacles hold you back? It is time to shake off the old and get ready for the new and for receiving the workings of Christ in you, for new beginnings - for the rich oil of His anointing. John 11:25 - "Jesus...

Habakkuk Chapter 1 continued VERSE 12 “Are you not from everlasting, O Lord my God, my Holy One? We shall not die. O Lord, You have appointed them for judgment; O Rock, You have marked them for correction.” Verse 12, a paragraph break, starts to express thoughts of the Great Company, a righteous class who will be puzzled over the events transpiring. These thoughts continue through Verse 17. In seeing the Lord’s Great Army, an irreligious and powerful force, tear down government and...

The Great Time of Trouble Habakkuk Chapter 1 continued VERSE 9 “They all come for violence (destruction, anarchy); their faces are set like the east wind. They gather captives like sand.” The New Living Translation states it thusly: “On they come, all bent on violence. Their hordes advance like a desert wind, sweeping captives ahead of them like sand.” “Their faces will be set in opposition to the east.” (The east is the direction of the suns rising, and here represents the dawn of the...

Morality, the CCP’s Global Threat, and the Coronavirus Pandemic June 28, 2020 | By a Minghui correspondent in China A short film titled “Bus 44” sent shock waves through the audience at the 2001 Venice Film Festival. The film won the “Special Jury Award” in Venice and, later on, a number of other film festival awards. The film was based on something that actually happened in a mountainous region in China. On the day of the incident, a female driver was steering a medium bus on a winding...

The following is VERY IMPORTANT to all who are awake and can see (the eyes of their understanding having been opened). The events mentioned in Habakkuk’s prophecy are not far off in fact some of these events are even now in the works as the Lord gathers his great army for what is to come. Pray that you are not inadvertently influenced and taken in to this army, led astray by emotions. Habakkuk Chapter 1 continued VERSE 8 “Their horses also are swifter than leopards, And more fierce than...

Habakkuk Chapter 1 continued VERSE 6 “For indeed I am raising up the Chaldeans, A bitter and hasty nation which marches through the breadth of the earth, To possess dwelling places that are not theirs.” In the type the destruction by the Chaldeans from the north was a pending situation. Verses 6–11 give insight into the characteristics of the enemy. The antitypical “Chaldeans” were described by the Pastor as communists, anarchists, nihilists, and socialists, discontents; that is, the...

A move of God by definition involves God moving. Which means we may not "find" Him exactly where (or how) we have in the past – because He is doing a new thing. He is not changing, God never changes (Malachi 3:6 and Hebrews 13:8). But He loves to reveal more of Himself to us in greater and greater depths and dimensions so that we can know more of Him (and thus make more of Him known to the world around us). He woos us into a greater revelation of all He is by leading us from the comfort...
