IF YOU HAVE BEEN READING MY MORNING MESSAGES YOU KNOW THAT I REALLY ENJOY STUDYING THE BIBLE. I STARTED ENJOYING IT A LOT MORE WHEN I LEARNED TO FIND OUT WHO WAS SPEAKING AND WHO WERE THEY SPEAKING TO. IT WAS ALSO HELPFUL TO KNOW WHERE THEY WERE.
The physical nation of Israel still has a very important part to play in God's plan. They have a prominent role in end-time prophecy. However, the physical nation of Israel has been displaced in importance by the spiritual seed of Abraham, that is the church of Jesus Christ.
Christians are the true circumcised people of God. In Romans 2:28-29, Paul reveals that true circumcision is a matter of the heart, not the flesh, and that true Judaism is through new birth, not physical birth.
In Colossians 2:11, Paul says that spiritual circumcision was done by God without the hands of man. This circumcision, that was made without hands, proves that it was not done in the physical. Paul is referring to the spiritual circumcision of the heart. The sins of...
WHEN YOU ARE IN CHURCH LISTENING TO THE PREACHER OR TEACHER, OR A MINISTER ON RADIO OR TELEVISION, ARE YOU REALLY LISTENING TO LEARN ABOUT GOD'S WORD OR ARE YOU TRYING TO FIND FAULT IN WHAT THEY ARE SAYING? I KNOW PEOPLE WHO DO THIS. I KNOW WE ARE SUPPOSED TO SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES TO MAKE SURE WHAT WE ARE BEING TAUGHT LINES UP WITH THE WORD, BUT TO TRY TO FIND FAULT WITH A TEACHING WITHOUT CHECKING IT OUT IS WRONG, I BELIEVE. THERE ARE FALSE TEACHERS OUT THERE AND WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL BUT DON'T DISMISS SOMEONE JUST BECAUSE HE GETS A PASSAGE OF SCRIPTURE WRONG. WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES.
It is the apostle John who reveals Peter as the one who cut off the servant's ear and also identifies the servant. It is very doubtful that Peter was aiming for Malchus' ear. It is more probable that he was making a horizontal swing at the servant's head and as the man ducked, Peter cut off his ear.
Peter was very vocal about never denying the Lord, and his actions proved that he meant what he said. There were only two swords among the disciples, yet Peter was willing to take on these six hundred soldiers. This spelled certain death or imprisonment.
Peter wanted to stand with the Lord, but he was not prepared spiritually. He was still strong in his own ability. If the battle would have been in the physical...
It is evident that it was the power of God that made these six hundred men fall backwards to the ground, but why did it happen when He said, "I am he"?
In this verse, and also in verse eight, the word "he" is italicized. That means that the word "he" was not in the original text but was added by the translators to make the sentence grammatically correct. This serves a useful purpose and is very helpful in most cases. However, the translators put these additions in italics so that we could be aware of what the text literally said.
In this instance, Jesus literally said, "I am." Since Jesus was God manifest in the flesh, His statement of "I am," carried just as much weight as when He expressed it to Moses (Ex. 3:14). This is nothing less than the Almighty God...
Jesus often healed people by touching them, and others received their healing as they touched Jesus. You can transmit the power or the anointing of God through the laying on of hands (Mk. 16:18; Heb. 6:2). The virtue of God can even be transmitted to objects and then brought to the person who needs healing or deliverance.
Jesus provided physical healing as well as forgiveness of sins. Many scriptures mention the healing of our bodies in conjunction with the forgiveness of our sins. Healing is an expression of God's love and compassion for our physical man. Healing miracles also draw men to God to get their spiritual needs met. Physical healing acts like a bell to get man's attention so that the Lord can minister to the inner man as well.
Healing has been purchased for us...
THIS IS JUST A BRIEF MESSAGE THIS MORNING TO TELL ALL OF YOU THAT GOD REALLY LOVES YOU. MOST OF YOU KNOW THIS BUT THERE ARE SOME OUT THERE, EVEN CHRISTIANS, THAT THINK GOD IS JUST SITTING ON HIS THRONE WATCHING TO SEE IF WE SIN SO HE CAN PUNISH US. WHETHER YOU ARE A CHRISTIAN OR NOT, THIS IS NOT TRUE. FOR US CHRISTIANS, WE KNOW HE LOVES US BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT HE SENT JESUS, HIS SON, TO DIE ON A CROSS AND TAKE ALL OF OUR SINS SO WE CAN HAVE A CLOSE RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM.
