There is supernatural power released in the Word of God through declaration.
Jesus said (Mark 11:23) in the letter to the Hebrews (Hebrews 10:23) that we are encouraged to hold fast our confession. Once we have released our faith in the command of faith or the prayer of faith, we must continue...
The following scriptures are likewise some which are generally relied upon by some who believe in the doctrine of Hell as a place of fire and eternal torment. Let us examine such to see if this be true.
We begin with Matt 3:11, 12
"I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but he that...
The next text cited as a proof of eternal torment is Matt 25:41: “Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels.”
This is from The Parable of the Sheep and Goats and describes the fate of the...
"For our God is a consuming fire." - Hebrews 12:29
God's voice dwells in the midst of the fire! Fire consumes the sacrifice, and inRomans 12:1-2 we are told to surrender our bodies and renew our minds. As we lay our flesh upon His altar, we are consumed!
Mark 9:49 - "For everyone will be...
The day must come when we leave the wilderness and begin to take the Promised Land of God's intentions. The light of the Glory of His Presence rises upon those who have broken through in contending for the Glory -- doing exploits in His name, they have travailed with the Father and carry His...
Luke 2:44,45 - "But supposing Him to be in the company they went a day's journey, and they sought Him among their kinsfolk and acquaintances; and when they did not find Him, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking Him."
Likewise, many of us have become so consumed with our battles that we fail to...
"Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the sinful nature." --Romans 13:14
When You said, “Seek My face,” My heart said to You, “Your face, Lord, I will seek.” -- Psalm 27:8
Seek His Face at the beginning of your day. This...
“And he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb; and the smoke of their torment ascends up for ever, and ever; and they have no rest day or night.” (Rev 14:10, 11)
Now we apply another test to our texts, one which indicates...
Consider carefully the scriptures that are used to teach eternal torment. Do not imagine that a study of such scriptures is too elementary, for though convinced the doctrine of eternal torment is false, many mature Bible Students cannot readily explain the scriptures used to support the...
Matthew 9:36 - "But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd."
COMPASSION IS A DEEP YEARNING THAT RESPONDS TO THE NEEDS OF PEOPLE.
JESUS' LIFE ON EARTH WAS A PICTURE OF COMPASSION IN ACTION...
Our thoughts are actually prayers; they are living and powerful. When our thoughts are connected to the throne of God, they have the ability to create substance in our lives.
Psalm 100:4,5 - "Enter His gates with thanksgiving And His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him, bless His name...
The following is a Checklist for Interpreting Scripture
This list of tests may be applied to interpretations of scripture to help determine its real meaning. You may think of other tests also.
Does it square with the ransom?
Is it in accordance with the divine plan?
Is the scripture...
The following excerpt was taken from a discourse by Brother Robert S. Seklemian entitled, “Thus Saith the Lord”
“Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures; and said unto them, Thus it is written.”--Luke 24:45, 46
The expression, “Thus saith the Lord,” is...
In Ephesians 5 Paul is speaking about redeeming the time. We need to come into agreement with what Heaven is saying, echoing the decree. Ephesians 5:8-11 (paraphrased) says, "You were once darkness but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of the light... Have no fellowship with the...
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."
Our purpose is to utilize all of our resurrection authority that resides within us as...
OVERVIEW
This chapter is considerably long, so I decided to cut it into pieces and deal with it little bits at a time. The particular portion of the chapter I will be talking about here is mainly about the philosophy behind Christian ethics. There is such a thing a ethically right and wrong, and...
Genesis 4:3,4 - "And in the process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the Lord. And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the Lord had respect unto Abel and to his offering."
CAIN'S OFFERING WAS...
I know it has been a while, but with finishing school, I have had minimal time to actually sit down and read. But, here I am, back to take another crack at another book. This will be a bit different than my first book, as I will go more in-depth, due to the fact that the previous book was mostly...
Matthew 15:14 - "If the blind leads the blind, both will fall into a ditch."
When you start pursuing God's vision for your life, sometimes you have to change who your close friends are because you're not speaking the same language anymore.
Some people say that it doesn't really matter with...
Continued from our previous post.
And so we see that the dividing line between the earthly (or natural man), the unconsecrated believer, and that of the spiritual (the New Creature), the fully consecrated is the “First Vail” or “Vail of Consecration” the “door” to the Tabernacle. This...
