“For the thing which I greatly fear is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me”. JOB 3:25 Many have erroneously thought it was God who permitted Satan to buffet Job and make him suffer so he would be humble. That’s not true! Jobs fear was his undoing! He…
So also faith, if it does not have works (deeds and actions of obedience to back it up), by itself is destitute of power (inoperative, dead) (James 2:17 AMPC). Let’s consider the example of the man in Acts 3:1-16, who was lame from birth and begged for alms at the gate of the temple called…
In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. I CORINTHIANS 15:52 At the Rapture, not everyone will hear the sound of the trumpet. It’ll be audible only to the Christians who died in…

For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 2 TIMOTHY 1:7 In our opening verse, it’s clear what God hasn’t given to us, and what He has given us: He’s not given us the spirit of fear, cowardice or timidity. Rather, He’s…
But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty. 1 CORINTHIANS 1:27 Many years ago, the Lord spoke to me as a young teenager. This was my very first time of hearing personally…
