The Power of God’s Word
Jeremiah 23: 25-29 God spoke thru Jeremiah the Prophet, noting that there were false Prophets dreaming dreams He described as “Chaff “, without power. God emphasized in v29: His Word is like”fire”and like a ”hammer that breaks the rock into pieces.“ In Hebrews 4:12 Paul calls the Word a two- edged sword that pierces through a stubborn heart to convict and through his bone marrow to mobilize him to surrender to the Word. We know modern examples. God’s Word always…
God’s Word Honored
Nehemiah 8:1-12 Our numerous experiences in life have proven that there’s a God who even the scientists have not disproved to exist. He also speaks and miraculously maintains a relationship with His Creation and human Creatures. Nehemiah completed the wall rebuilding and set up the people in Cities.Then the people gathered In Unity, asking Ezra the Priest/Scribe to read the Book of the Law. What followed?:Verse 3:They listened from morning till midday. They were attentive.Verse 5:They all stood upVerse 6:They…
Inspired By the Holy Spirit
Galatians 6: 4 Can we examine ourselves? Can we watch the Spirit: how far, how deep, how sincere is the longing and the reach out for the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in our lives? Is the Holy Spirit allowed to determine my choices and decisions in my life? My lifetimeI will give God my lifetime
Spirit-Inspired Martyr
Acts 7: 54- 60 A Martyr does not just walk or rush into danger or even death to be one. Acts 6:8 Stephen, “full of grace and power, performing wonders.” That’s the stature of the true Martyr Stephen. Not up to a few get there! His Spirit engaged the Holy Spirit in full gear as he in Acts 7:55 saw the glory of God with Jesus standing. As rocks were hurled at him, he maintained his godly posture, praying for…
SpIrit-Inspired Mother
Luke 1:39-45; 67- 79 Jewish Priest Zechariah had the same experience Abraham had: promise and birth of a son at very old age, well spaced out over centuries but Same God, same Purpose: JESUS CHRIST. Sarah and Elizabeth reacted the same way to the Angel that announced it. Elizabeth was much overwhelmed as Mary visited her. She was filled with the Holy Spirit and BURST out in praise and worship to God, naming all the great Works and fulfilled promises.…
Spirit-Inspired Prophet
Ezekiel 11:1-5 Prophecy is not solicited for by the Prophet; The Lord simply chooses the ready appropriate Vessel, time, location and related atmosphere to speak to the intended recipients. It ‘s usually for His intentions and He only commands the actions eg verse1, The Spirit “lifted him”….”brought” him …..to the intended location with the intended recipients. Ezekiel didn’t know all that. Ezekiel was always so deeply in the Spirit. His Lamentation for Israel is well recorded; no wonder God’s Spirit…
Spirit-Inspired Levite
2 Chronicles 20:14-19 A Levite was a devoted and anointed Servant that goes between God and the people of Israel. They indeed held a crucial role in the spiritual life of the people. The Levites were completely in charge of the Worship, teaching, sacrifices, and even leading the Nation to war, plus their health. So what more could he need than the Spirit of God to take over his whole heart for this overwhelming work. The Spirit of God came…
Spirit-Inspired Judge
Judges 6: 34-40 During the dispersion, as Phillip went along his way, the Angel of God told him to go “south toward the desert “and later he was told “go & overtake this chariot”. The Holy Spirit uses us to fulfill God’s mission. The WMCF Youths once emphasized “Get Connected” for that is how to get inspired by the Spirit for Power as we study the Word and be a Doer of the Word. Gideon had just finished worshipping and…
