Continued from Part Three… After teaching his listeners about meekness, Jesus went on to His next point, saying: Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled. Verse 6 Because this statement is such a crucial part of the life of a believer–much like the anchor on a boat keeps it right where the pilot […]
THE “BE” ATTITUDES Matthew 5:1-12 Part Three
Continued from Part 2… Now that Jesus showed the spiritual value of “godly mourning”, He continues on in verse 5 to speak about the meek… Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. One of the biggest mistakes people make is to incorrectly define “meekness”, as “weakness.” This is possibly because, in the original King James translation of […]
MIDEAST UPDATE 1/20/2018
The situation in the Middle East continues to be desperate, both with the weather this time of the year and of course the much worse problem of dealing with all the missile and bomb attacks. The loss of life among the civilians continues unabated. In the last few days at least 120 adult believers and 35 children from the House […]
PASTOR R–HEALTH REPORT, MIRACLES CONTINUE!
How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of them that bring good news, who proclaims peace, who brings glad tidings of good things, who proclaims salvation, who says to Zion, YOUR GOD REIGNS. ISAIAH 52:7 It was only a few days ago that I received news about Pastor R’s feet and the likelihood that the toes would have to […]
THE “BE” ATTITUDES Matthew 5:1-12 Part Two
Continued from Part 1… After choosing the need to be poor in spirit as the first of the attitudes that a true child of God should have, Jesus went on to say: Blessed are those who mourn. (verse 4) This seems like an odd thing for Jesus to say. Are those that mourn really happy? According to Jesus, godly mourning […]
THE “BE” ATTITUDES Matthew 5:1-12 Part One
Some 400 years before the Messiah’s first coming, Malachi was the last prophet to be sent to the nation of Israel. A great deal of history unfolded during those 400 years, but God did not send a prophetic voice. This means that the people of Israel, beyond being under the domination of the Roman Empire, were left with nothing more […]
DOING THE WORKS OF JESUS
A few days ago I read an article sent out by World Challenge. It was written by Gary Wilkerson, son of the late David Wilkerson. What I read impacted me enough personally that I decided to transcribe it and share with others. I pray many will also be blessed and touched by the article below. ******************* I was in Jordan […]
MIDEAST UPDATE 1/6/2017
Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of His saints. Psalm 116:15 I received several phone calls this week from Pastor R, the third one giving me the tragic news that the three House of Blessing teachers who had recently been arrested by the Syrian government for preaching about Jesus Christ, have paid the ultimate price for […]
WISE AS SERPENTS, HARMLESS AS DOVES
“Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.” Matthew 10:16 True believers and followers of the Messiah, Jesus Christ, have been given the power through God’s Spirit to deal with any situation that presents itself in our earthly life as we await His second coming. Of this […]
URGENT PRAYER NEED…MIDEAST UPDATE 12/30/2017
“Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” Hebrews 4:16 I received an urgent email from Jerusalem this morning and a few minutes later received a phone call from Pastor R in southern Syria. The email from Jerusalem contained some photos showing the reasons […]
