Whether we know it or not, we have been resting upon The LORD since birth. Since we have came out of the womb, we have been resting upon His grace and mercy. Without God's mercy, and without His help, all men are doomed. There is always grace at work, always mercy, though some do not …

Anointed With Joy
Jesus lived a perfect life. That much is obvious. Every command of God Jesus kept perfectly every second He was on earth. And He did this through the power of The Holy Spirit. Jesus Himself testified, "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me" as it was prophesied in Isaiah 61:1. The Father told us …
The Price of Water
The Rock in the wilderness, from which the Israelites got water, is a very significant miracle. As described from several Psalms, The LORD "brought streams out of the rock," He "caused waters to run down like rivers" from it; "He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places like …
The Revelation of Jesus Christ Pt 7, 2:8-11
JESUS' LETTER TO THE CHURCH AT SMYRNA Jesus' letter to Smyrna, the second of seven letters, reveals to us that our life is in Jesus, not in this world. Though we die in this life, though we are slain by persecutors, our glorious future with Christ can never be taken away. Before reviewing this letter, …

Being a Wonder to Many
We look back on Jesus' life on earth today as an awesome thing, as an inspiring thing; we look on it with the greatest amount of respect and wonder. Jesus indeed lived the most remarkable life in the history of the world. It was because He Himself was God. But have you ever thought about …
Abiding in Christ Jesus
In my experience, the phrase "abide in Christ" has turned into a catchphrase of sorts. It has lost its meaning through overuse combined with a lack of depth of understanding. Too often, phrases like this in Christianity lose their meaning. We say them, but when probed with how to actually apply them or with what …
Forsaking All
Jesus makes a bold claim in Luke. He says, "So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple." Jesus expects us to forsake everything we have in this life in order to follow Him. He gives two analogies. One of a man who does not …
Written in Heaven
We have a glorious promise from Jesus, who tells us, "He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before My Father, and before His angels." [Rev 3:5] Those who are overcoming will …
Gazing Upon Jesus
David was a man who fervently desired to dwell in The LORD's house. It was his chief desire. He says in Psalms 27, "One thing I have desired of The LORD, that will I seek after, that I may dwell in the house of The LORD all the days of my life, to behold the …
Zealous for God’s Spoken Word
The Bible tells us that we do not live by physical food alone, but by every spoken word coming from God's mouth. That is a strong statement! Have you ever considered that you would die if you did not receive The Lord's words? The Bible certainly seems to think so. "These wait all upon thee; …
