Daniel 11:32 (Daniel said) “And by smooth words he will turn to godlessness those who act wickedly toward the covenant, but the people who know their God will display strength and take action.” Days are coming on earth and may well be here when this prophecy will see fulfillment. The Antichrist will speak “smooth words” which means “flattery and fine promises” to godless ones who are irreverent and have contempt for the things of God and for God Himself. The…
Revelation 12:10 And I heard a loud voice in heaven saying, “Now the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God and the authority of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren has been thrown down, who accuses them before our God day and night.” One day, those of us who have put our faith and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ, the promised Messiah, will hear these words spoken in heaven. Jesus will throw…
I Peter 2:24 And He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness, for by His wounds you were healed. Jesus took the punishment for our wrongdoing that we might share in the inheritance of God. That we might walk blameless before Him. That we might be healed of the infirmities we experience in our bodies—our mind, soul and spirit. He came to heal that which is…
Micah 7:19 He will again have compassion on us; He will tread our iniquities underfoot. Yes, Thou wilt cast all their (our) sins into the depths of the sea. Our God is a God of compassion, of mercy. He loves us deeply with a love that never lets us go. This scripture tells us that He is going to bring our bondages, our perversity, depravity, and guilt under His foot. In other words, He captures the things that put us…
John 3:16 (Jesus said) “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life.” To adhere to the truth of this scripture is not a passing acknowledgement that Jesus lived. Our faith must go deeper than that. True faith in Jesus believes He willingly went to the cross for each one of us. He came back to life and He desires each of us to…
In the Bible God tells us, “You shall not add to the word which I am commanding you, nor take away from it, that you may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you” (Deuteronomy 4:2). In case we miss it, He tells us again in Deuteronomy 12:32, “Whatever I command you, you shall be careful to do; you shall not add to nor take away from it.” In His final instructions in Revelation, He makes…
Psalm 117:2 For His lovingkindness is great toward us, and the truth of the Lord is everlasting. Praise the Lord! In the world we live in today not much can be trusted. A person’s word used to be their bond. A handshake sealed a deal. God’s word, on the other hand, is a sure thing. His goodness, faithfulness, and kindness to us in unfailing. The Bible contains His promises, warnings, and instructions. They are true truth. We can rely on…
Psalm 18:32 The God who girds me with strength, and makes my way blameless. Left to ourselves, we are weak in body and spirit. God knows that so He gave us His Spirit to reside in us. This scripture tells us God dresses us for success. No, He doesn’t dress us in Dior gowns and Brooks Brothers suits. He dresses us for warfare. Some people would rather not think about that, but God does. He doesn’t want us to be…
Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. The Bible’s definition of faith is “the trust that God exists and that He is the creator and ruler of all things.” The meaning of faith doesn’t stop there. Biblical faith is “a deep conviction, a firm trust God gives to believers, resulting in eternal salvation through Jesus Christ.” As believers, we wait and hope with joy and a full confidence, for this…
