THE NAME OF JESUS IN THE OLD TESTAMENT



I WROTE ABOUT THIS BEFORE BUT I THOUGHT I WOULD DO IT AGAIN SINCE SOME OF YOU MIGHT HAVE MISSED SEEING IT.  I THINK IT IS A VERY GOOD ARTICLE AND IMPORTANT TO OUR JEWISH FRIENDS.  SO, LET ME ASK YOU THE QUESTION AGAIN, HAVE YOU EVER TRIED TO CONVINCE ONE OF YOUR JEWISH FRIENDS THAT JESUS WAS THE PROMISED MESSIAH?  THE USUAL QUESTION THEY ASK IS THAT IF JESUS WAS THE PROMISED MESSIAH, WHY DIDN'T IT SAY SO IN THE OLD TESTAMENT AND WHY IN ALL THE PROPHESIES THE NAME "JESUS"  WAS NEVER MENTIONED.  HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED ABOUT THIS?  I GOT THE FOLLOWING...

"WALK IN THE LIGHT" BY ANDREW WOMMACK


By DAVID A. MCMILLEN, 2020-08-08


Walk In The Light




John 11:9 'Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.'



JOHN 11:9-10



Jesus compares His decision to return to Judaea to a man traveling during the day. Daytime travel doesn't guarantee a hazard-free trip but the light does allow us to see the hazards. At nighttime, it's inevitable that we will stumble. Likewise, walking in the light of God's direction doesn't mean that there won't be problems, but the alternative of 'doing our own thing' (that is walking in darkness) is guaranteed to get us into trouble.

Jesus was obeying the leading of His Father to return to Judaea. He could see exactly what was going to...

"DO YOU WANT REVIVAL?" BY DAVID MCMILLEN


By DAVID A. MCMILLEN, 2020-08-08

DO YOU WANT REVIVAL?




HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED WHY JESUS' MINISTRY SPREAD SO QUICKLY?  YES, HE WAS GOD BUT THE BIBLE SAYS HE PUT AWAY HIS DIVINITY.  HE WAS A GOOD TEACHER BUT HE ALSO  HEALED THE SICK AND CAST OUT UNCLEAN SPIRITS.  LOOK WHAT MARK WRITES IN MARK 1:25-28 AND IT WILL GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT.  THIS WAS IN THE VERY BEGINNING OF HIS MINISTRY.  HE HAD BEEN BAPTIZED BY JOHN, BEEN TEMPTED BY SATAN, AND CALLED SIMON, ANDREW, JAMES AND JOHN TO BE THE FIRST FOUR OF HIS DISCIPLES.  HE THEN WENT INTO THE SYNAGOGUE AND YOU CAN READ THE REST.

"DO YOU EVER BIND EVIL SPIRITS?" BY DAVID MCMILLEN


By DAVID A. MCMILLEN, 2020-08-07

DO YOU EVER BIND EVIL SPIRITS?


WHEN SOMETHING IS BOUND, IT IS MADE HARMLESS.  WHEN YOU ARE HURTING, DO YOU BIND THAT PAIN AND CAST IF OUT OF YOUR BODY?  WHEN YOU ARE HAVING FINANCIAL PROBLEMS, DO YOU BIND THE DEVIL AND CAST HIM OUT OF YOUR FINANCES?  WE HAVE THE POWER TO DO THIS, YOU KNOW?  IF WE DIDN'T, JESUS WOULD NOT HAVE TOLD US IT COULD BE DONE.  LOOK WHAT HE SAYS IN MATTHEW 18 "Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven".  BIND THOSE THINGS IN YOUR LIFE THAT ARE TROUBLING YOU AND CAST THEM OUT OF YOUR LIFE.  JESUS ALSO TELLS US TO CAST OUT THE DEVILS IN MATTHEW 10:8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give. SO, WHEN YOU BIND THEM, CAST THEM OUT.

"TURN FROM SIN" BY ANDREW WOMMACK


By DAVID A. MCMILLEN, 2020-08-07


Turn From Sin




John 11:5 'Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.'




It is interesting to note that special mention is made of Jesus loving Martha. This is after the incident recorded in Luke 10:38-42 where Martha is caught up with serving instead of worshipping Jesus and her priorities are still not in order. Jesus was not rebuking Martha but rather exhorting her for her own profit. When the Lord deals with problem areas in our lives, it is always for our profit - not punishment and we should not take it as rejection. This is one way to discern God's correction from the devil's condemnation.

God convicts us of sin but He doesn't condemn us. Conviction is solely for our profit with no malice while condemnation includes punishment. Satan is...

"FAITH, DO YOU USE YOURS?" BY DAVID MCMILLEN

FAITH, DO YOU USE YOURS?

BY DAVID MCMILLEN




WHAT IS FAITH? WE KNOW WE ARE SAVED THROUGH IT AND IT IS THE GIFT OF GOD (EPHESIANS 2:8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God). WE KNOW IT IS THE SUBSTANCE OF THINGS HOPED FOR AND THE EVIDENCE OF THINGS WE CAN'T SEE (HEBREWS 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.). WE KNOW THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY IT (GALATIANS 3:11 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.). WE KNOW THAT WITH IT THAT NOTHING SHALL BE IMPOSSIBLE FOR US (MATTHEW 17:20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto...

"THE FAITH TO FORGIVE" BY ANDREW WOMMACK


By DAVID A. MCMILLEN, 2020-08-05


The Faith To Forgive




Luke 17:5 'And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.'




It is very interesting to note that the apostles asked Jesus to increase their faith after He spoke of forgiveness. They observed all of the wonderful miracles Jesus performed and yet that never inspired them to ask for greater faith. Truly, walking in love and forgiveness with each other takes as much faith as any miracle we will ever believe for.

The basis of forgiveness is the love and mercy of God. It is only because God first loved and forgave us that we can love and forgive others. If we aren't walking in the forgiveness of God, we won't minister it to others. He forgave us before we repented or asked for forgiveness.

The scriptures admonish us to...

"WILL YOU FORGIVE?" BY DAVID MCMILLEN


By DAVID A. MCMILLEN, 2020-08-05

WILL YOU FORGIVE?




I WROTE ABOUT FORGIVENESS IN THE PAST BUT THIS IS TO A SPECIAL FRIEND THAT I BELIEVE  CAN BENEFIT FROM THIS MESSAGE AS SOME OTHER MIGHT.   WHEN YOU DON'T FORGIVE, YOU HAVE TO KNOW THAT YOU ARE ONLY HURTING YOURSELF.  JESUS HAS A LOT TO SAY ABOUT FORGIVENESS.  I GUESS THE BEST ONE IS MATTHEW 6:14-15 WHERE HE SAYS " For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:  But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses."  YOU MIGHT SAY THAT YOU HAVE ALREADY BEEN FORGIVEN.  THIS IS TRUE BUT JESUS TEACHES US THAT WHEN WE SIN AND ASK FOR FORGIVENESS, GOD WILL APPLY THE FORGIVENESS THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN PROVIDED FOR US.  WALKING IN FORGIVENESS WILL STOP THE DEVIL FROM HAVING ACCESS TO US.

"VENGEANCE IS GOD'S" BY ANDREW WOMMACK


By DAVID A. MCMILLEN, 2020-08-04


Vengeance Is God's




Luke 17:2 'It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.'




God takes the persecution of His children personally. In Acts 9:4 when Jesus appeared to Saul on the road to Damascus and spoke to him about his persecution of the saints, Jesus said, 'Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?' Saul was not directly persecuting Jesus but he was persecuting His saints. Yet Jesus said, 'Why are you persecuting me?' Judgment against those who persecute God's children will not always come in time to prevent their harm but as this warning makes very clear, God will avenge His own (Rom. 12:19).

Letting God be the one who defends us is a matter of faith....
