Isaiah 57:13-15 (KJV) “[13] … but he that putteth his trust in Me shall possess the land, and shall inherit My holy mountain; [14] And shall say, Cast ye up, cast ye up, prepare the way, take up the stumblingblock out of the way of My people. [15] For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with…

When thinking of the word Patience, it’s common to assume a state of waiting with little to no action. Romans 2:7 puts an interesting twist to this understanding by using the phrase “patient continuance in well-doing”. The verse is pretty much saying that those who patiently continue in well-doing, seeking for the glory, honour and immortality that come from God alone are…

Joel 2:1-11 speaks of a great and terrible army in the day of the Lord. These men run like mighty men, climb walls, and do not break their rank. This prophetically speaks of the end-time army, the Eklessia that the Lord Himself is raising. An army of ordinary men who have learned to move as one man.

Let your roots grow down into Him and draw up nourishment from Him. See that you go on growing in the Lord, and become strong and vigorous in the truth you were taught. Let your lives overflow with joy and thanksgiving for all He has done. Colossians 2:7 TLB If you have ever had a garden, or if you have grown a tomato plant, for the first time, you may notice how…

Hebrews 11:1 “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” (KJV) In this passage, faith is linked to “things hoped for” and “things not seen”. A dictionary definition of hope is that hope is “a feeling of expectation and desire for a certain thing to happen”.…

Luke 18:8 “… Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall He find faith on the earth?” (KJV) Upon reading this verse, where it says “… when the Son of man cometh …”, you probably thought of the Lord’s second coming at the end of the world. But beyond that, the question in this verse is relevant every day, because Jesus is Emmanuel (which means: God with us). In other…

A Roman tribune, though a servant of the emperor was always clothed with honor and dignity befitting a tribune of Rome. Their splendor was a reflection of the wealth and glory of the Emperor. Paul said in 1 Corinthians 11:7 that the woman is the glory of the man, speaking prophetically of Christ and His bride. Because His bride bears His name, He washes her and clothes…

John 14:2-9 KJV “[2] In My Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. [3] And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto Myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. [4] And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. [5] Thomas saith unto Him, Lord, we know not whither…

It is important to note that we cannot create the unity of the Spirit. We can only guard it. David speaks prophetically of the church, in Psalm 122:3, as a city that is compact (united) together. Jesus said in John 17:21-23 that He gave us His Glory that we may be one as He and the Father are one. We are simply to defend this unity. A break in the unity affects everyone,…

We are citizens of heaven and as such, we must live by God’s way, serving the Kingdom and our King, Jesus. Godliness is reverence and piety. It is clear evidence of the love and fear of God in a person.
