Our Declaration of Independence
On July 4, 1776, the Second Continental Congress came together in Philadelphia to officially adopt the Declaration of Independence. The idea of declaring independence against the powerful British military probably looked ludicrous, but they did it. In a sense, it was a...
What Is in Your Hand?
When you live your life for God, your labor is not in vain in the Lord (1 Corinthians 15:58, KJV). You may get directions from Him about what to do or where to go and try to follow it. But when you do not see the desired result, you may wonder, “Did I miss the Lord's leading?...
The Dynamics of Transference
We talk about salvation but many times we do not understand the actual dynamics by which it takes place. To understand salvation, we must first understand the idea of transference. God transferred onto Yeshua (Jesus) all our sin and He died on the cross under the judgments of...
Preach the Gospel to All Creation
The Great Commission is generally interpreted to mean “preach the gospel of salvation to all people.” So for two thousand years, the Church has had a drive to tell people about Yeshua (Jesus) and get them saved. But this is not how Yeshua actually stated the commission in Mark...
“It’s All About Me!”
I feel like we are living in the midst of the Me Generation. My concern lies in the fact that everything has become so much “me, me, me.” People are focused on themselves and saying, “It's all about me. What do I get? I deserve reparations. What free housing and free education...
The Word Made Flesh in You
God and His Word are one. So when the Word is implanted in you, it is in fact an appearing of the Lord being imparted to your being. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being...
Equipped and Sent!
Isaiah had a tremendous meeting with the Lord and at the end of it the Lord asked, “Whom shall I send and who will go for Us?” (Isaiah 6:8).1 And that is the challenge God is putting before us. What is our willingness to really be instruments in the hand of God to execute His...
Gird Yourself with the Truth
As we look at what is happening in the world globally, we realize that we are in a struggle. Good is being called evil and evil is being called good (Isaiah 5:20). The world is being turned upside down and righteousness is being swallowed up. On a natural plane, it appears as...
Our Prayers Are Effective
We are seeing spiritual battle come against us in this age that is set to destroy the Kingdom of God and to destroy mankind. We know our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the forces of wickedness in the heavenly places (Ephesians 6:12). And we could wonder,...
A Nation Whose God Is the Lord
In 1863 during the American Civil War, Senator James Harlan of Iowa introduced a resolution in the US Senate requesting that President Abraham Lincoln proclaim a National Day of Prayer and Fasting. Realizing the dire situation facing our country, Lincoln agreed and wrote the...
Our Daily Bread
Yeshua (Jesus) taught us to pray. “Give us this day our daily bread” (Matthew 6:11).1 In the Greek, this verse uses the aorist imperative tense of the verb; it is a demand: “Give me!” According to the Scripture we are to “come boldly unto the throne of grace” (Hebrews 4:16,...
Holocaust Martyrs’ and Heroes’ Remembrance Day
This year marks eighty years since the Warsaw ghetto uprising in Poland that began on the eve of Passover in April 1943. In commemoration of this event and the six million Jews murdered in the Holocaust, Israel established the Holocaust Martyrs’ and Heroes’ Remembrance Day,...
Walk in the Pattern of Christ
Yeshua (Jesus) was the fullness of God in the earth. God’s Spirit was in Him without measure (John 3:34). It could not be measured because the Holy Spirit was always descending and pouring out on Him. It was an ongoing experience for Christ. God could pour nothing more of...
Aggressively Search for the Leaven
In both Judaism and Christianity, the concept of leaven generally refers to sin—that which pollutes or corrupts us. In preparation for Passover, the Jews aggressively search for chametz or leaven. They go through the house to dust out the cracks and corners, even to the point...
I Will Be an Enemy to Your Enemies
When God talked about leading the children of Israel into the land of promise, He said, “Behold, I am going to send an angel before you to guard you along the way and to bring you into the place which I have prepared. Be on your guard before him and obey his voice; do not be...
Learn the Lessons of the Bible
The lessons in the Bible are contained in events that happened to people as an example for us. “And they were written for our instruction, upon whom the ends of the ages have come” (1 Corinthians 10:11).1 We need to follow the Bible and its teachings. Most of the defeat that...
Can the Church Be God’s Instrument of Change?
Peter is probably one of the most radical figures in the New Testament. Often we focus on Paul because he wrote so much of the Greek Scriptures. But the most explosive, radical changes that came in that generation came through Peter. We read in Acts 10 that Peter opened the...
A Love Relationship with the King
Most of what happens in the story of Esther (Hadassah) takes place in the throne room with the king. When you read the story, you see how honestly and deeply King Ahasuerus loved Esther. She was not supposed to go before the king without following certain protocols, yet he...
