Exodus 12:13 - "The blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you live; and when I see the blood I will pass over you, and no plague will befall you..."
It is the blood of Jesus alone that delivers you. If you think that it is because of your faith, then you will always be wondering "Do...
Colossians 1:27 - "To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory."
When God made you in His likeness, He did not make you to look like Him. He made you to function like Him. That's what...
Revelation Chapter 8
The First Trumpet
VERSE 7 (NAU) “The first sounded, and there came hail and fire, mixed with blood, and they were thrown to the earth; and a third of the earth was burned up, and a third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was burned up.”
The one symbol...
Revelation Chapter 8
One Third of the Trees Burned Up
So how do we apply what we have learned to the symbols of the first trumpet?
We find that one of the results of the truth being cast into the earth, or being misused to gain power over others resulted in the burning up of a third of the...
Despite ‘Decoupling’ Narrative, Companies Continue Flocking to China

Commentary by Fan Yu

“Decoupling” from China seems easier said than done.
Despite signals from U.S. political leaders to reduce economic and...
Go to your meditations of Heaven, and keep there a while. The children of that Kingdom above, have no taste for trifles, and especially when they are employed in the affairs of the Kingdom. No more will a soul that is taking a survey of Heaven and heavenly things, fix his eyes on such poor...
Colossians 2:10 - "And you have been given full life in union with him..."
Ephesians 2:10 - "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them."

Romans 6:12 - "Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, to make you obey its passions."
God did not intend the body to relate to the spiritual or supernatural world. It is essential, then, that we do not judge our true potential by the abilities or limitations of our physical bodies...
Habakkuk 2:1-2: "I will stand on my guard post and station myself on the rampart; and I will keep watch to see what He will speak to me...Then the Lord answered me and said, 'Record the vision...'"
Ways to be sure what you're hearing is from Him:
TEST THE ORIGIN (1 John 4:1)

Revelation Chapter 8
The First Trumpet
As we had briefly outlined in our previous posts the early church had the beginnings of the wrong attitude which eventually led to the oppressive false church state system, composed of the beast and the image. So for that reason we think that the very...
Revelation Chapter 8
The First Trumpet
VERSE 7 (NAU) “The first sounded, and there came hail and fire, mixed with blood, and they were thrown to the earth; and a third of the earth was burned up, and a third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was burned up.”

John 15:16 - "You did not choose Me but I chose you, and appointed you that you would go and bear fruit, and that your fruit would remain, so that whatever you ask of the Father in My name He may give to you."

From Coronavirus Crisis to Economic Crisis
July 10, 2020 | By Yiming (Minghui.org)
The coronavirus (Wuhan pneumonia) crisis is not yet over, and the people in China are already being hit with an even more severe crisis—the economy. Housing prices and rental incomes have fallen, but monthly...
Romans 8:11 - "But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you."
As the dead body of Christ was given life and brought out by the Holy Spirit, may we be...
In this present season, the Body is experiencing, they are crossing the Red Sea. But some are too tired to cross the Red Sea, because they have exalted themselves, and they have left themselves weary. Others will run across the Red Sea, because they have exalted Him, and have refreshed...
Have as little to do with the world as you possibly can. Things of the world have a glutinous quality; if you let the heart lie any while amongst them, it will be enslaved to them. Be more and better acquainted with Jesus Christ; get nearer to Him, be more in communion with Him -- get more...
Revelation Chapter 8
The First Trumpet
One Third Taken Away = .666 etc.
Another reason for the conclusion that this trumpet is showing us something bad, was an interesting observation that was made in regard to the adjective “one third”, that this and the next three trumpets have as a part of...
Revelation Chapter 8
The First Trumpet
Having taken a brief look at the first interpretive viewpoint we would now like to examine the second interpretive viewpoint, which interprets the trumpets as showing how the false church was corrupting the truth.
VERSE 7 (NAU) “The first sounded, and...
1 Timothy 2:1 - "I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. Ask God to help them; intercede on their behalf, and give thanks for them." Luke 6:28 -"bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you."
When we bless someone, we are, in essence, saying, "May all of God's good plan...
When we made Jesus the Lord of our life, we were reborn from death to life. First John 5:1 says, "Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God." Being born of God entitles us to citizenship in the kingdom of God. In Luke 12:32, Jesus said, "Fear not, little flock; for it is your...
