It is our position that, the scriptures clearly teach that the dead are unconscious between the moment of death and the moment of awakening to the resurrection.
If this proposition is not affirmatively true, as stated, then we must conclude:
1. That man, after death, continues mentally active...
This study was raised due to some erroneous assumptions being made on this forum concerning the whereabouts of the dead following death, with some believing they go immediately to heaven or to hell.
Excerpts for this study came from a debate entitled “Where are the Dead?”
Now both the heathen...
As Isaiah 44 says, it is the outpouring that causes people to spring up and emerge, and right now there is a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit that is healing hearts, refreshing hearts, and igniting the new that has been lying dormant and hidden, up until now.
Just like with Jesus at the Cana...
Matthew 3:13-17 - 13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan [River], to be baptized by him. 14 But John tried to prevent Him [vigorously protesting], saying, “It is I who need to be baptized by You, and do You come to me?” 15 But Jesus replied to him, “Permit it just now; for this is...
Many Believers live in fear of the powers of darkness. Many are plagued by the spirit of suicide and death, discouragement and depression, sickness, lack, poverty, and failure. Many are caught in the vicious cycle of defeat, circling around the valleys of despair and can't seem to find their way...
Psalm 63:1 - "God, you are my God; I eagerly seek you. I thirst for you; my body faints for you in a land that is dry, desolate, and without water."
He's looking for you to find Him on a deeper level. He's waiting for you to hear Him in a new way. Dust yourself off and begin to walk on your...
As Believers who are seeking to advance His Kingdom we have the right and privilege to do business with God.
Why does He need us to do business with Him?
1. God has given mankind dominion over the earth. Therefore, we have the authority to release Him to work when we pray. God has never...
Ephesians 6:10 - "Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might."
Sometimes the battle is so ingrained in us that we are constantly walking in war-mode, even before the presence of the Lord. During this very key time, there must be a walking away from the mixture and rudiments...
John 14:6,7 - "Jesus saith unto him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. If ye had known me, ye should have known My Father also: and from henceforth ye know Him, and have seen Him."'
Unless we can be corrected, unless we are seeking God for an...
2 Corinthians 6:3 - "Give no offense in anything, that our ministry may not be blamed."
There are thousands of different churches, but they are all one in the Spirit to the extent that they receive the life of Christ. If there is any division, it is always outside of the Spirit.
The spiritual...
"But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus" - (Ephesians...
2 Corinthians 5:19 - "...God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them..."
No judgment will fall on you today because it fell on Jesus 2000 years ago at Calvary. And if God was gracious enough to remove Lot and his family before the judgment fell...
Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with unrighteousness? What communion has light with darkness? What agreement has Christ with Belial? Or what part has he who believes with an unbeliever? What agreement has the temple of God with idols...
2 Corinthians 6:2 - "Behold now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation."
There are two processes of salvation. First, God helped you when the Spirit was moving you to make Jesus the Lord of your life. Second, He keeps you in the plan of His salvation. In the process of...
"I am giving you this command in keeping with the prophecies once made about you, so that by recalling them you may fight the battle well..." - 1 Timothy 1:18.
Many people have thanked God for their word at the time of receiving it but have had them stored away and have forgotten them. It is...
Luke 10:41,42 - " But the Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, but one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her.”
Meditation on God's Word and promises can help you stay focused on your spiritual...
Will the ancient worthies be in relationship with God during the millennial age?
“Yes, the ancient worthies will be in covenant relationship with God through the New Covenant, through the Mediator of the New Covenant, throughout the millennial age; but they will not be in any personal, direct...
Romans 10:10 - "For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."
Many believers try to believe for a miracle without spending enough time in the Word to change their heart and mind. They just want to confess it with their mouths and...
Philippians 2:10 - "that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,"
If you've been born again, you belong to the Lord Jesus Christ. You are a joint heir with Him. You are covenanted together with Almighty God by the blood of Jesus. You've been given...
Were the Ancient Worthies on trial for life?
“The Ancient Worthies were not on trial for life or death; they were never brought to that condition of intelligent opportunity for eternal life which would make them amenable to a sentence of death. Such a condition of knowledge and opportunity did...
