Luke 1:45, "And blessed [is] she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord."
There are many reasons why God's blessings don't always come to pass in a person's life, but the most frequent cause is simply unbelief on our part. There are no limitations on God's part. He is willing and able to do anything He has...
I HAVE MENTIONED ANGELS A LOT IN MY WRITINGS BUT MOST OF IT HAS BEEN ABOUT GOD'S ANGLES. THIS MORNING I WANT TO TALK ABOUT SATAN'S ANGELS. IT IS COMMONLY THOUGHT THAT SATAN TOOK A THIRD OF THE ANGELS IN HEAVEN WITH HIM WHEN HE WAS CAST OUT. I AM NOT SURE ABOUT THIS BUT I WILL SHOW YOU WHERE THIS COMES FROM AND TRY TO SHOW YOU WHERE THESE ANGELS ARE NOW ACCORDING TO GOD'S WORD.
Luke 1:41, "And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost."
Upon hearing the greeting of Mary, John the Baptist leaped for joy inside his mother's womb (v. 44). A six month old fetus experienced unbridled emotion, voluntarily leaped for joy and was actually filled...
I NEVER GET TIRED OF WRITING ABOUT ANGER BECAUSE IT IS SO PREVALENT IN OUR WORLD TODAY. DO YOU THINK IT IS BAD TO GET ANGRY? JESUS GOT ANGRY. THE PASSOVER WAS AT HAND AND IN THE TEMPLE, THE MONEY CHANGERS WERE GATHERED. THESE WERE JEWS WHO SOLD THE OXEN, SHEEP AND DOVES TO THE PEOPLE WHO HAD COME TO MAKE AN OFFERING TO GOD. A LOT OF WORSHIPERS HAD COME FROM MILES AWAY AND INSTEAD OF BRINGING THEIR OFFERINGS, THEY BOUGHT THEM IN THE TEMPLE.
ARE YOU DOING SOMETHING THAT YOU KNOW JESUS DOES NOT APPROVE OF? MY ADVISE TO YOU IS TO STOP WHATEVER IT IS. JESUS MAKES REFERENCE TO THIS IN MATTHEW 5:29-30 WHERE HE SAYS "And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. And if thy right hand offend thee, cut...
Luke 1:34, "Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?"
Contrast Mary's question and Gabriel's response with the question that Zacharias asked Gabriel and the response that he received (Luke 1:18-20). You will find the questions are similar but the responses are totally different.
HOW IS YOUR WEATHER THIS MORNING? I AM IN FLORIDA AND IT IS 51 DEGREES THIS MORNING. THAT IS VERY CHILLY FOR ME. NOW LET ME ASK YOU HOW YOUR SPIRITUAL WEATHER IS. WHAT I AM GETTING AT IS WHEN WE HAVE COLD WEATHER WE DRESS IN SOMETHING WARM AND WHEN IT IS RAINING WE PUT ON SOMETHING THAT WILL KEEP US DRY. WELL, SPIRITUAL WEATHER CAN BE GOOD OR BAD ACCORDING TO YOUR WALK WITH THE LORD BUT WE NEVER KNOW WHEN THAT WEATHER...
Luke 1:18, "And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years."
Zacharias and Elisabeth were righteous people (v. 6) who prayed for a child for many years. They felt the same disappointments and frustrations that any of us would feel and yet they kept believing God. The Lord finally answered their...
HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT ABOUT YOUR RESURRECTED BODY? WE ALL WILL HAVE ONE AND WITH OUR LITTLE MINDS WE CANNOT CONCEIVE WHAT IT WILL BE LIKE. I HEARD SOMEONE SAY ONCE THAT GOD WOULD NOT SERVE DESSERT FIRST SO IF THESE EARTHLY BODIES ARE THIS WONDERFULLY MADE, THEN OUR RESURRECTED BODIES WILL BE OUT OF THIS WORLD...LITERALLY. I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO WANDERING AROUND THE UNIVERSE SEEING ALL THE WORLDS THAT GOD CREATED. IT IS GOING TO BE GLORIOUS.
