Spirit Jesus

“And he said, Who art Thou, Lord?” (Acts 9:6)
By the miracle of Redemption, Saul of Tarsus was turned in one second from a strong-willed, intense Pharisee into a humble, devoted slave of the Lord Jesus.
There is nothing miraculous about the things we can explain. We command what we are able to explain, consequently it [...]

I wandered through this vale of tears
And saw men crouching in their fears.
Mid crumbling hopes they were dismayed,
Bewildered, wondering and afraid.
‘Twas then I rose and gazed afar
Beyond the clouds and farthest star.
To One whose ways are great and grand:
A thousand works o’er sea and land.
The flowers that blossom in the light
to captivate the sense of [...]

The Initiative Against Despair
‘Rise, let us be going’ - Matthew 26:46
The disciples went to sleep when they should have kept awake, and when they realized what they had done, it produced despair. The sense of the irreparable is apt to make us despair, and we say — ‘It is all up now, it is [...]

‘I am The God of Bethel’ - This title conveys a fresh lesson. Does it not mean, the God our Lord Jesus Christ? What is ‘Bethel’ but ‘the house of God.’ Brethren, I hear that term constantly applied to your buildings that are made with stone or iron, with brick and mortar, or [...]

Death Preceding Life
by Doug Gorman
As you whispered, “Forgive them Father, they know not what they do.” This agony, tearing of my heart, this unimaginable truth.
Unbearable, insufferable, and horrific pain taken for a miscreant’s expense. Passage of time and men, this still clings to my heart after generations of lights have been spent.
Forgive me, [...]

Jesus intended to heal the paralyzed man, but he did so by first of all saying, “Thy sins are forgiven thee.”
There are some in this house of prayer this morning who are spiritually paralyzed. They have eyes and they see the gospel; they have ears and they have heard it, and heard [...]

“Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?” - John 11:40 - Every time you venture out in the life of faith, you will find something in your common-sense circumstances that flatly contradicts your faith. Common sense is not faith, and faith is [...]

“And the parched ground shall become a pool.” Isaiah 35:7. We always have visions, before a thing is made real. When we realize that although the vision is real, it is not real in us, then is the time that Satan comes in with his temptations, and we are apt to say [...]

“Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in Him; and He shall bring it to pass.” Psalm 37:5 - God seems to have a delightful way of upsetting the things we have calculated on without taking Him into account. We get into circumstances which were not chosen by God, and suddenly we find [...]

“Fret not thyself, it tendeth only to evil doing” - Psalm 37:8 - Fretting means getting out at elbows mentally or spiritually. It is one thing to say “Fret not”, but a very different thing to have such a disposition that you find yourself able not to fret. It sounds so easy [...]

For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths - [...]

“That life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.” 2Cor 4:10 We have to form habits to express what God’s grace has done in us. It is not a quesiton of being saved from hell, but of being saved in order to manifest the life of the Son [...]

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard our hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. - Philippians 4:6-7
God is trying to tell you, “I want to give you peace [...]

By Spiritual Confusion - “Ye Know not what ye ask” Matthew 20:22 - There are times in spiritual life when there is confusion, and it is no way out to say that there ought not to be confusion. It is not a question of right and wrong, but a question of God taking you [...]

Christians need to recognize the reality of spiritual conflict and warfare. We are born in conflict — against the world, against our carnal natures, and against the Devil. And if you do not know the nature of your enemy — if you do not know who your foes are — [...]
