Christ Canceled the Decree of Death
As a highly trained Jew, Paul understood how the Hebrew Scriptures pointed to Christ. Writing to the Colossians, he used the terminology of Purim from the book of Esther to describe our salvation experience. “When you were dead in your transgressions and the...
End the Threat of Death
The work of the cross and the resurrection of Christ are exactly like the Feast of Purim. In the story of Esther, the Jewish people were to be annihilated. Haman had the king’s signet ring and was completely in charge—that is, until the authority and power of that ring was...
Healings, Miracles, or a Relationship?
When Christ walked on the earth, crowds of people followed Him for the healings they needed or the miracles they wanted to see. They pursued Him for the fish and barley loaves without realizing where the flow of life was coming from (John 6:2-13). That is still true of...
The Root of Unbelief
So often we labor with a feeling of unbelief without understanding where unbelief really comes from. The disciples faced unbelief when Christ told them, “I’m going to suffer many things, be killed, and be raised up on the third day” (see Matthew 16:21). But they were not ready...
Our Response to God’s Word
When God makes His Word come alive in your heart, you must respond. Since we cannot fulfill that Word by our own energies or dead works, God has given us the tremendous outlet of worship. Like an explosion of our hearts back to Him, we can sing, “We believe Your Word!” We can...
Our Oneness – The Measure of His Glory
If you look around the landscape of Christianity today you may wonder, “How will we ever become one?” Our oneness is important because the oneness of the Body of Christ will be a sign of the Lord’s return. In His prayer to the Father, Yeshua (Jesus) said, “The glory which You...
Exchange Your Paradigm for His Truth
A paradigm is a belief or a way of looking at something. It usually includes concepts that you have developed in great detail over the years. If you are driving fast and the car in front of you suddenly stops, your mind instantly responds. You know what is going to happen, so...
The Oath
Everything in the Bible from Abraham up to the return of Christ is about an oath. God promised to bless Abraham, make his name great, and bless all the families of the earth through him (Genesis 12:2-3). Further, “the Lord appeared to Abram and said, ‘To your descendants I will...
Draw Me Into Your Arms
I have a deep cry in my heart that yearns to see a transformation and removal of my adamic nature. I know the ability to change only comes from God through His grace, but there needs to be a human hunger and pursuit of it as well. In reading the Beatitudes, one verse struck me...
What Will You Choose?
It is true that at some point you will either experience life after death in the presence of the Father, or you will face eternal death away from His presence. So the question is, “Are you prepared?” What have you chosen as your eternal life experience? I know the focus of this...
God Gave You the Gift of a Free Will
When God created man in His own image, He created a will. Your will, essentially, is you. You were born into this earth as a free will and that is what you have control over. Yeshua (Jesus) came and willed to do the will of the Father. He said, “I do not seek My own will, but...
Salvation for the World
When you think about salvation for the world, you realize that it needs to happen on a global level, and it needs to happen soon. The things of the Kingdom accelerate as they move forward. And we know that God “will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness” (Romans...
Love That Changes Your Life
Everything that is happening in the world today magnifies the absolute need for the sons of God to be manifested at this time (Romans 8:19-21). We are to mature into “the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ” (Ephesians 4:13).[1] So when we talk about...
He Is the Truth
God is truth. Yeshua (Jesus) is truth. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of truth. In contrast, satan is lie. According to John 8:44, “Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature.”[1] More than being a liar, satan is the lie. The end-time battle is a battle between...
Intercession That Moves God
Yeshua (Jesus) had a full prayer life and often went out to a solitary place to pray all night (Matthew 14:23; Mark 1:35; Luke 6:12). Prayer petitions God, but intercession is different. When Yeshua laid down His life for us on the cross, He interceded on our behalf to the...
What Will Life Be Like?
As a young adult, I believed the Kingdom of God was imminent. I thought, “Why go to college? Why prepare for anything? The Kingdom of God is coming.” And the truth is that the Kingdom of God is coming, but you will need to prepare for it if you want to be “a vessel for honor,...
Preserve the Ways of God
We know that we are not to be conformed to this world and its thinking, but to be transformed by the renewing of our minds (Romans 12:2). Yet we live in a society today that is determined to challenge our faith, move us away from our Christian values, and enculturate us into a...
The Door to God’s Heart
What opens the door to God’s heart? The answer is your thankfulness. Thanksgiving is the door to God’s presence. You simply partake of Christ’s sacrifice and wholeheartedly thank God for all the goodness He is beaming toward you. In doing so, you will continually appropriate...
