Posted by on Jan 1, 2010 in Holiness

We shout to the Lord in our Sunday worship services. We raise our hands and praise God for all that He has done for us. What do we do between Church services? What do we do at home? What do we do when no one is looking? What do we do in our daily walk with God? Let’s look into the scriptures and see how we can get a daily refreshing in the Spirit and build a closer walk with God. Let’s look at prayer.

Judging

Posted by on Dec 28, 2009 in Holiness

Judging is a topic that many have misunderstood. We all judge, even if we don’t recognize it as judging. We make many judgments every day. Whether or not to make a judgment is in itself a judgment. Can we judge that something is right or wrong? Should we judge to words and actions of others? Most will tell you that judging is a sin. What do the scriptures say?

Everyone’s favorite verse on judging comes from Matthew chapter 7:

Matthew 7:1  Judge not, that ye be not judged.

It was prophesied in scripture that God would come in the form of a man.

Isaiah 9:6  For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

What child is this that he would be called the mighty God and the Everlasting Father? This verse is one of the most powerful statements of the Deity of Jesus. This verse describes Jesus as the Father.

Immanuel God With Us

Posted by on Dec 19, 2009 in Godhead, Salvation

The scriptures tell us that God would come in the form of a man. The Old Testament prophet Isaiah tells us His name would be called Immanuel. Matthew writes that His name would be called Emmanuel.

Isaiah 7:14  Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.

Matthew 1:22-23  22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,  23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

Healing

Posted by on Dec 17, 2009 in Gifts of the Spirit, Healing

Healing is a miracle that is seen in both the Old and the New Testaments. Healing is a restoration. God can heal any sicknesses or disease. Jesus healed many people that came to Him and we see the Apostles continuing with this Spiritual Gift. Healing is for us today.

God promised healing.

Exodus 15:26  And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee.
