Our Prayers Are Effective
We are seeing spiritual battle come against us in this age that is set to destroy the Kingdom of God and to destroy mankind. We know our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the forces of wickedness in the heavenly places (Ephesians 6:12). And we could wonder,...
A Nation Whose God Is the Lord
In 1863 during the American Civil War, Senator James Harlan of Iowa introduced a resolution in the US Senate requesting that President Abraham Lincoln proclaim a National Day of Prayer and Fasting. Realizing the dire situation facing our country, Lincoln agreed and wrote the...
Our Daily Bread
Yeshua (Jesus) taught us to pray. “Give us this day our daily bread” (Matthew 6:11).1 In the Greek, this verse uses the aorist imperative tense of the verb; it is a demand: “Give me!” According to the Scripture we are to “come boldly unto the throne of grace” (Hebrews 4:16,...
Holocaust Martyrs’ and Heroes’ Remembrance Day
This year marks eighty years since the Warsaw ghetto uprising in Poland that began on the eve of Passover in April 1943. In commemoration of this event and the six million Jews murdered in the Holocaust, Israel established the Holocaust Martyrs’ and Heroes’ Remembrance Day,...
Walk in the Pattern of Christ
Yeshua (Jesus) was the fullness of God in the earth. God’s Spirit was in Him without measure (John 3:34). It could not be measured because the Holy Spirit was always descending and pouring out on Him. It was an ongoing experience for Christ. God could pour nothing more of...
Aggressively Search for the Leaven
In both Judaism and Christianity, the concept of leaven generally refers to sin—that which pollutes or corrupts us. In preparation for Passover, the Jews aggressively search for chametz or leaven. They go through the house to dust out the cracks and corners, even to the point...
I Will Be an Enemy to Your Enemies
When God talked about leading the children of Israel into the land of promise, He said, “Behold, I am going to send an angel before you to guard you along the way and to bring you into the place which I have prepared. Be on your guard before him and obey his voice; do not be...
Learn the Lessons of the Bible
The lessons in the Bible are contained in events that happened to people as an example for us. “And they were written for our instruction, upon whom the ends of the ages have come” (1 Corinthians 10:11).1 We need to follow the Bible and its teachings. Most of the defeat that...
Can the Church Be God’s Instrument of Change?
Peter is probably one of the most radical figures in the New Testament. Often we focus on Paul because he wrote so much of the Greek Scriptures. But the most explosive, radical changes that came in that generation came through Peter. We read in Acts 10 that Peter opened the...
A Love Relationship with the King
Most of what happens in the story of Esther (Hadassah) takes place in the throne room with the king. When you read the story, you see how honestly and deeply King Ahasuerus loved Esther. She was not supposed to go before the king without following certain protocols, yet he...
Hide in the Secret Place
The tangible presence of the Lord surrounding us will be necessary as we walk through the days of trouble ahead. When an angry crowd was coming to take Yeshua (Jesus) and throw Him down a cliff, He walked through their midst and was gone (Luke 4:28–30). Yeshua was able to pass...
Knowing the God of Promise
We will walk like the men and women in the Bible walked (Hebrews 11:8–40). God gave them promises that in many ways did not seem to happen, so they could have felt mistreated. Consider what Moses and Joshua went through. They were told to lead the people from Egypt into the...
Judgment Is Not Victory
Many Christians believe that we are in the last days preparatory to the return of Christ as King to the world. Part of the reality of His return is the judgments that are to come. One problem is that many Christian groups look for judgment as though it is a positive thing, but...
Blessed with Every Spiritual Blessing
What God says, He means. Not only does He mean it, but He is actually doing it and making it available to us. Paul writes to the faithful saints at Ephesus, “Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ” (Ephesians 1:1–2).1 This impartation of grace and...
You Must Appropriate Him
We are blessed “with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ” (Ephesians 1:3).1 We are heirs of the riches of His inheritance. God has given us everything; yet there seems to be so little of it available to us. Paul reminds us that when the heir is a child, he...
Plug Into His Power
God is emanating a power towards you. It is the same exact power that He used when He raised Yeshua (Jesus) from the dead; it is the power of resurrection. Like a laser beam, the Father focused this unbelievable power of God on the dead body of Yeshua and brought Him to life....
God Accepts You
If you can see that God accepts you and will never reject you, you will stand in His presence and be changed. God understands you and is aware of everything about you. Yet there is an inability in our carnal minds to really believe that the Lord accepts us. O Lord, You...
Finding the Real You
If there is a unique you that was created in the image of God, where does it exist? The teaching of spirit, soul, and body leads some Christians to say, “I’m a triune being like God, and so my spirit is in the image of God.” But that does not work for me. One of the biggest...
