One day, Yahweh spoke to a man named Abram. Abram lived in Ur, which was the largest city in the plain of Shinar, which is the area in which Babel was built by Nimrod’s followers. Abram was a descendant of Noah’s son Shem. Abram is not mentioned as having accomplished anything great at the time Yahweh called him from Ur. […]
When we learn that faith is a fruit of the Spirit of Jesus and not just a desire to believe something, we have opened a Door through which we can access Heaven’s resources and give Heaven’s purposes access to the earth. By faith, believing is not just wishing something will prove true. By faith, things become true, or things that […]
Jesus used the cross to save us from sin and death. He then transformed the cross into a throne of grace. He will change our crosses into thrones also. He will not change our own works, whether Sunday morning services or holy Roman empires, into preparation to join Him in ruling the universes, but you have been given a Kingdom. […]
Therefore having such a hope, we use great boldness—not like Moses, who used to put a veil over his face so that the sons of Israel could not look at the end of what was fading away. But their minds were closed. For to this day, at the reading of the old covenant, the same veil remains; it is not […]
Now if the ministry of death, chiseled in letters on stones, came with glory, so that the sons of Israel were not able to look directly at Moses’ face because of the glory from his face—a fading glory—how will the ministry of the Spirit not be more glorious? For if the ministry of condemnation had glory, the ministry of righteousness […]

He has made us competent to be ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter, but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit produces life.(2 Corinthians […]
For although I am free from all people, I have made myself a slave to all, in order to win more people. To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win Jews; to those under the law, like one under the law—though I myself am not under the law—to win those under the law. To those who are outside […]
Now, when I went to Troas to spread good news about Messiah, because a door had been opened to me by the Lord, I could not rest, because I could not find my brother Titus. So I left the people there and went on to Macedonia. But thanks be to God, Who always leads us in a procession of victory, […]
Hiding from Jesus is always a mistake. To be protected from the Giver of Life is a terribly unsafe place. When we gather with people in hopes of spending time with Jesus and being influenced by His Spirit, the atmosphere is improved when we are all on the front row, and when we are all involved in the possibility of […]
E. Stanley Jones, servant of Jesus in India and many other places, said that the motto he held for life was, “Not able to do it, but enabled.” We need to work out our salvation. We are not, however able to. We are, however enabled to, because it is the Spirit of Jesus Who works in us to be able […]
