SHOUT FOR JOY
Isa 54:1 ¶ Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the LORD. The barren woman is being commanded to sing. The woman is used…
GOD HELPS THOSE WHO CAN’T HELP THEMSELVES.
Psa 107:18 Their soul abhorred all manner of food, And they drew near to the gates of death. Psa 107:19 Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, And He saved them out of their distresses. This is a vivid description of a dying man. The appetite is gone and all the desire…
ZEALOUS FOR GOD.
Joh 2:17 Then His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for Your house has eaten Me up.” This was a great statement of Jesus life.

THE SUPREMACY OF THE WORD OF GOD.
Psalm 138:2 I will bow down toward your holy temple and will praise your name for your love and your faithfulness, for you have exalted above all things your name and your word. Why has God magnified His Word and His name above all things? A name is only as good as the word from…
THE KINGDOM AUTHORITY
Luk 10:19 “Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. All authority in heaven and on earth belongs to Jesus. ( Mat 28:18). This tremendous authority is what was given to His disciples. Snakes and…
RAISING A GODLY GENERATION.
2Tim 1:5 When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also. Paul could see traces of Timothy’s faith from his family lineage. The grandmother passed on the baton to the daughter and now…
ACCESSING THE SPIRITUAL REALMS.
2Kings 6:17 And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha. When Elisha’s servant saw the host of chariots surrounding…
