Christian Edification

Matthew 16:19 - "Whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven." How do we know what is bound and loosed in heaven? Who tells us what heaven's reality looks like? The only way to know these things and to function...

Having looked at the first 3 horsemen of Revelation 6 we now look at the last, 4th, "Pale" Horseman. Revelation 6: "And when he opened the seal (the) 4th I heard (the) voice of the 4th living creature saying Come And I looked and behold a horse chloros ("pale") and the (one) sitting on it (the)...

Getting in touch with God's PURPOSE for our life can have the single most powerful impact on our own life after coming to know the Lord and being born again. All Christians are called to be witnesses, but we also have a CALLING in His Body that is more specific than that. The main factors that...

Matthew 4:25,5:1,2 - "And there followed Him great multitudes of people from Galilee and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judea, and from beyond Jordan. And seeing the multitudes, He went up into a mountain: and when He was set, His disciples came unto him: and He opened His...

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...

Hebrews 2:1 - "Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip." You can really slip into unbelief about the promises of God. And when you do, it will cost you dearly. Hebrews 4:11 tells us, "Let us labor, therefore...

It's essential that we as Spirit-filled Believers understand the power of our words and decrees. Isaiah 55:11 is a word in season for every hungry Believer to take advantage of. As you open your mouth and speak out your DESTINY, you will breathe life into your situations and see impossible...

"Now faith is the substance of things hoped form, the evidence of things not seen." - Hebrews 11:1 Faith is stronger than belief. To believe is to give intellectual assent; to have faith is to be inseparable from the object of your devotion. Belief can be changed or lost by a more persuasive...

The 1st, White Horse(man) of Revelation 6 is often supposed to be "conquest", and/or to be the "Antichrist", and the bow he has is often supposed to be "a covenant with Israel confirming its rights to the land of Israel/Palestine". However we are not so certain of this for various reasons...

"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...

Luke 19:12,13 - He said: "A man of noble birth went to a distant country to have himself appointed king and then to return. So he called ten of his servants and gave them ten minas. 'Put this money to work,' he said, 'until I come back.'" A mina represents the truths of God's word...

"Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set...

We have looked at the 2nd, Red Horse(man) and given 3 possible past/present/future candidate matches. We will now look at the 3rd, Black Horse(man). Revelation 6: "And when he opened the seal (the) 3rd I heard the 3rd living creature (man/angel) saying come! And I looked and behold a horse...

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 wedding where they ran out of wine. As...

In Acts 26, there is a detailed account of Paul's life-changing experience with the Lord. The light Paul encountered on the road to Damascus was in fact the "fire" of God, as this same Greek word was used in various other places in the Bible and was interpreted as fire. So this light that Saul...

Matthew 12:34,35 -- ....."For out of the fullness (the overflow, the superabundance) of the heart the mouth speaks. The good man from his inner good treasure flings forth good things, and the evil man out of his inner evil storehouse flings forth evil things." Words won't work without faith...

In our looking at prophetic events in Revelation and other biblical books we start with looking at the 4 horsemen of Revelation 6. Of the 4 horsemen the 2nd red one is the easiest one to identify and the 3rd black one the next easiest, so we will do them first rather than doing the 4 all in the...

"Go...and see what the land is, and whether the people who dwell in it are strong or weak, whether they are few or many, and whether the land that they dwell in is good or bad, and whether the cities that they dwell are camps or strongholds, and whether the land is rich or poor, and whether...

Matthew 6:13 - "And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one." There is no temptation or sin in heaven. This prayer does not imply that God wants to tempt us. We know from James 1:13 that it is impossible for God to entice us to sin. This kind of...

"He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water." - John 7:38 Many needed breakthroughs for the Body of Christ are awaiting the release of this river we carry within. Hearts clogged with unbelief, doubt, and pain through trauma will...
