Having heeded the call echoed by the Apostle Paul to all believers residing within the courtyard condition, viz.
“We beseech you, brethren, by the mercies of God"—if you feel gratitude for the manifest love of God, and desire to please Him and enter into the blessings to which you are called--...
We are being presented "suddenly" moments, for such a time as this, to step into a BREAKTHROUGH that is bigger than our hope can comprehend. These might be moments that look like immense risk or require vulnerability, but we have to seize that incoming wave at the opportune time with fresh...
Back to Daily Meditations And Affirmations Discussions
John 2:3-5 - When the wine was gone, Jesus' mother said to him, "They have no more wine."
"Why do you involve me?" Jesus replied, "My time has not yet come." His mother said to the servants, "Do whatever he tells you."
Jesus attended a...
Hebrews 11:1 - "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."
Worldly hope is just a kind of wish.
Whenever we see hope in the bible, it means there is an expectation. According to Mark 11:24, when we pray, we should believe we receive.
We should expect --...
He is risen.
Revelation 1:17-18 "And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: [18] I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of...
AFTER our Lord had fully consecrated himself, surrendering his will for that of the Father’s, or as the Apostle quotes it from the Old Testament, “Lo, I come; in the volume of the Book it is written of me; I delight to do thy will, O my God” (Psa 40:7,8; Heb 10:7) he immediately went down to the...
The “SECOND STEP” entering the Tabernacle proper.
“You shall make a screen for the door of the tabernacle, woven of blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and fine woven linen, made by a weaver.” (Exod 26: 36)
This door (the “First Vail”) represents our Lord even as the “Entrance Curtain” to the...
Sometimes He draws us to the wilderness where our understanding that our abilities, our skills, our gifts can no longer get the job done.
You can choose to "rise above" things. When you do, you are going to catch a new wind from Heaven that is releasing new creative resources for you right now...
As we confidently pray according to the promises in the Bible we can expect all the promises of the Lord to be yes and amen in Christ! There are literally thousands of Scripture promises in the Bible that can be applied to our lives.
We can take the Father at His Word, because His Word is...
In our previous post we mentioned how the blind guides had deceived many into believing a mere professing of faith is all that is required of them to insure their heavenly reward, that and their membership in one of the various “pens” denominations or institutions devised by men.
The blame...
“Wolves” in the Courtyard
In our previous post we were discussing the progressive path of those (individuals’ 1, 4, 5 and 6) who whilst in the courtyard were steadily taking the proper steps leading them to the main goal or object to their justification now during the Gospel Age. Such...
Hebrews 12:3 - "Consider Jesus that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds."
THE SPIRIT OF WEARINESS IS TRYING TO WORK ITS WAY INTO OUR LIVES THESE DAYS THROUGH ALL THE PRESSURE AND BAD NEWS THAT SURROUNDS US. IT'S WORKING TO GET OUR...
Today is the day to have a total change of heart and mind. It is time to renew and to reframe your mindset and language to speak the language of Heaven.
Colossians 3:1 - "If you then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above...."
We have moved into our land of promise. Let's use...
Once again we enter the courtyard through faith in Christ as represented in the entrance curtain, the first step.
"We see, then that justification by faith, faith in Christ, our first step toward holiness, brings us into a condition of peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ (Rom 5:1)...
For the moment we should like to proceed on to individual’s 4 and 5 in our examination of the courtyard, and return to 2 and 3 a bit later as 4 and 5 represents those individuals who are making proper progress as antitypical Levites (justified believers) on their way toward the true purpose or...
"Surely the Lord God does nothing unless He reveals His secret counsel to His servants the prophets." - Amos 3:7
Along with timing, it is key to understand the role we play as workers in God's Kingdom to see prophecy come to pass. Without understanding that prophecy requires action on our part...
Let us now take a closer look at,
…condition, along with the various steps necessary for entry, for progress as antitypical or prospective Levites, and what it takes to reach the next condition, the “Holy condition” as depicted by the first chamber in the Tabernacle, the “Holy”. While we’re...
THE WEEPING AND GNASHING OF TEETH
The ultimate consequence of not responding to the call, and not putting on a wedding garment, is "weeping and gnashing of teeth." This difficult phrase appears seven times in the New Testament — six times in Matthew, once in Luke. The account in Luke provides...
THE WEDDING GARMENT
A crucial point in the parable is the absence of a wedding garment. There has been much speculation as to the source of the wedding garment. Some declare it was the custom in Jesus’ day to present wedding guests with garments. However there is little evidence to support such...
