Christian Edification

1 Chronicles 14:11 -- "So they went up to Baal Perazim, and David defeated them there. Then David said, 'God has broken through my enemies by my hand like a breakthrough of water.' Therefore, they called the name of that place Baal Perazim [meaning Master of Breakthrough]." Breakthrough is the...

Philippians 3:14 - "I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus." A season of trials is a SEASON of promotion. You will triumph if you don't quit, because God only allows you to face what you are prepared to face with Him. That measuring line is almost...

"Arise, shine; For your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you." Isaiah 60:1 Are you hungry to see an increase in the Presence and Power of the Lord at work in your life? You can daily live in the demonstration of the Spirit and power! We serve a supernatural God who...

Jesus simply could not look upon the multitudes and not have compassion for them (Matthew 9:36, 14:14). His heart was so full of the love of the Father that He couldn't look without compassion. We are to live the same way. We should be so full of God's love that rivers of living water should...

Song of Solomon 2:4 - "He brought me into the wine-cellars and set love in order within me." -- You come from your delightful fellowship with the King (Jesus) intoxicated with love -- for you have tasted of the finest wine. The King has brought you into His wine-cellars where you will drink...

"(Abraham) contrary to hope, in hope believed, so that he became the father of many nations, according to what was spoken, 'So shall your descendants be.'" Romans 4:18 The enemy has launched a new version of an old "terrorist attack" on the Body of Christ in recent time, which contains a spirit...

These are days of DESTINY, filled with wonder and excitement. The awe of God is returning to the people of God, filling the heart of God's people with great expectation. Something new and revolutionary is at the door—but the question is not what is at the door, but Who. POINTING TO HIS PRESENCE...

"And He cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, "What, could ye not watch with Me one hour? Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak." - Matthew 26:40-41 Can you imagine Jesus in the Garden of...

"And Goliath cursed David by his gods. The Philistine also said to David, "Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the sky and the beasts of the field." - 1 Samuel 18:43,44 Goliath first used fiery darts against David (his words of negativity), believing that the negativity alone...

Looking at the Bible verses that speak specifically to men/husbands or women/wives, I believe that the Bible maintains some clearly complementarian features. I believe that the common error in those teachings is when one mate attempts to strong-arm the other into conformity to them as if the...

Allone versus Alone. "you will be one as we are one" (John 17:20-23). Although these verses seem to mean that we will be One with God/Jesus* (and will be whole), they also may mean that we will also be one with each other. If/when people are really One with Jesus/God (or if/when "touch" him...

2 Timothy 1:9, "God...who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began." The term "holy calling" could also be interpreted "sacred DESTINY." The Lord considers it a...

One of the things I don't like about christianity/messianism is that it seems to so individualistic. It is made to seem that it is all just between us and God, and it is practiced like this by many. The bible itself even seems to support this position like for example the Psalmist saying how he...

In Acts 9, when Paul went to Damascus to persecute Christians, or, the followers of "The Way" (as believers were first known as) Yeshua appeared to him as a bright light and blinded him. He was taken to the house of Ananias, and through Ananias, Paul received back his sight. What was the first...

Are our eyes toward Jesus in our prayers, praises, public, and private duties? Is there an effectual impression on the heart. Are we walking in His purpose for our life -- ie. have we picked up our cross and are following Him? Do we intercede for those who are not yet believers? Is the love...

I bless the Lord at all times, I continually declare praise to Him. (Psalm 34:1) I magnify Jesus and exalt His name as I proclaim it to others who have ears to hear and rejoice. (Psalm 34:2,3) I seek the Lord and He answers me and delivers me from all my fears. (Psalm 34:4) The angel of the...

"And this is the confidence that we have in Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, he heareth us: and if we know that he hears us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of Him." -- 1 John 5:14,15 You cannot ask with confidence until there is a...

Isaiah 40:31, "But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint." Many people have been in transition; they have been healing and they have been birthing. Many Believers...

Revelation 4:1 - "After this, I looked, and there before me was a door standing open in heaven. And the voice I had first heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, "Come up here, and I will show you..." There is a constant and continual (unbroken) communion that we have been invited into. There...

Galatians 1:16 - "To reveal his Son in me, that I might present Him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood." Many believers have lost the glory because they have been taken up with the natural. If we are going to accomplish in the Spirit the thing God has purposed...
