On the Jewish calendar the Ninth of Av is recognized as a time of fasting and returning to the Lord. The Scriptures call it the fast of the fifth month (Zechariah 8:18). It is considered the saddest day on the Jewish calendar. Two of the most devastating and painful events that...

God is very powerful, and He moves in power. He moved in power when He delivered the children of Israel out of Egypt. He moved in power when He raised Christ from the dead. He is a God of miracles and a God of strength. As His sons and daughters, we must not forget that. It...

One key element in our destiny as sons of God involves the freedom of creation from futility. For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected...

Without a vision and understanding of what God is doing in the realm of spirit, the days ahead will be very difficult for us. Fear can creep in and take control of your spirit, and you can find yourself withdrawing from what God is setting before you. Yeshua (Jesus) did not...

We are to live in a state of readiness before the Lord. This is part of our growing up in God and maturing as believers. To assist us we are strengthened and covered by a great cloud of witnesses from the heavenly realm. This great company surrounding us includes those who have...

Everyone has doctrines about how the Lord is returning. Huge segments of Christianity are caught up in the idea of a rapture, and it is the focus of their belief system. They write books about the Rapture, make movies of airplanes with no pilots or cars with no drivers, and...

The source of all God’s authority and power is simply His great love. It is the root element of God's weaponry against satan, whereas the root element of satanic weaponry is the opposite of love. So you are dealing with two ends of the pendulum here. And just like any other...

Meditation is a concept seldom used in Christian fellowship or teaching. This is partially because meditation has a connotation built into it that people want to stay away from. It seems to have come out of Eastern religions and does not look like it has an application within...

Everything about God is oneness and everything about satan is division. God is always trying to bring you into a oneness with Himself. The whole point of the Shema prayer is that God is One, and everything He does revolves around oneness (Deuteronomy 6:4). Yeshua (Jesus) said,...

The Church today has almost a singular focus on evangelism and getting people saved. So for many Christians, the concept of being a “witness” means to tell people about Yeshua (Jesus) and get them saved. But when Yeshua healed people, He did not say, “Now salvation has come to...

Yeshua (Jesus) always referred to what He did as works. He said, “He who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he will do; because I go to the Father” (John 14:12).[1] But the people around Him who witnessed these works always...

Nelson Mandela was an amazing man. I want to honor him and recognize that he really tapped into a principle in God. You may not remember the events that took place in South Africa under the apartheid government from 1948 to 1994. These years saw tremendous civil unrest, and...

The prophet Daniel had a dream about the end-time. He recognized that when satan comes, “he will speak out against the Most High and wear down the saints of the Highest One” (Daniel 7:25).[1] The Hebrew name that Daniel used here for “the Most High” is Elyon. It is one of the...

When we see the news and what is transpiring around us, it is not hard to think about the end times and what we as Christians should expect in the days just before us. Yeshua (Jesus) said, “Be sure of this, that if the head of the house had known at what time of the night the...

God has always been looking to create Israel as an example of faith, righteousness, and a walk with God that the Gentile nations could observe and follow. Yet now we see the news media turning very much against Israel as they face growing anti-Semitism around the world. As a...

Generally, we repent because we did something wrong or messed up in some way. But the New Testament describes a different purpose for repentance. John the Baptist came saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand” (Matthew 3:1–2).[1] Yeshua (Jesus) also preached...
