First Apostolic Church

Often it seems the finish line is pushed another mile in front of us. But there are times God shows up and says I'm here to deliver you right now.

It was a Samaritan that returned to give praise for the healing of his leprosy. It was a stranger to the Jewish heritage but one that knew what he had experienced in his body.

Revelation - Part 15b: We look further into this harlot that is carried by the beast with seven heads and ten horns. She eventually will be overthrown by the ten horns and destroyed.

Judas did not betray the Lord in the temple or around the table as they were eating. He betrayed the Lord in the garden... in the place of prayer.

An eagle is among the many creatures God created that we can learn from.

Satisfaction can lull us into remaining where we are when we should be advancing forward. The hardship of satisfaction is the immobility it can gender.

Everyone has a story... we can't escape from being born into sin. Two words can change the rest of our lives... "but God." There is hope for the most dismal cases. Our past will always mock our future if we allow it to and not everything that happens to us is a consequence of our past. What we really need is a "but God" moment. Surrender to that moment and what it has in store for your future.

Revelation - Part 15a: Chapter 17 focuses on one aspect of Babylon... the religious aspect. One false religion will appear to be supported by the one world government. The roots of this false church reach all the way back to Babel--the mother of harlots.

The plea is not always "come up" sometimes it must be "come down." The tops of extremely high mountains may be wonderful to visit and exciting to scale but you can't live there. You must come down. It is at the base of those mountains we are able to live under more pressure with the abiding presence of the Lord.

It appears the scriptures indicate those who called on the Lord were labeled saints. Furthermore, the Holy Spirit we have received is a praying spirit. When we know not what we ought to pray it intercedes for us. The Lord asks us to call on him.

Let not this phrase be the words of a Christian. Issue in doubt means that, in all likelihood, victory is impossible and defeat is imminent. The things we are fighting for, issues, are worth fighting for. Let not doubt creep in and persuade us otherwise. If we do not see victory in this life, we will in the life to come.

A good name is better than riches. We have been given an good name in the person Jesus Christ.

Revelation - Part 14: An explanation is given about each of the final vials of God's wrath.

For fear, two and one half tribes built an altar that would have no function except to be seen in order to give the appearance that they were in relationship with God to the same degree as those that passed over Jordan into the Land of Promise.

The mind of God from the very beginning had the church in mind. He created a small scale visible model in the marriage dynamic of the family to represent the intangible and invisible forethought of a future reality he had--Christ and the church.

Revelation - Part 13c: Two aspects of the end time harvest are view in the closing verses of chapter 14. Chapter 15 is an introduction of the vials that will be poured out in the next chapter.

God told Abram that he was his exceeding great reward and often spoke of blessing him. Abram wanted to know what God would give him being that he didn't have a child. No matter how blessed Abram could get if profited little if he didn't have an offspring--a future to inherit the blessings of God.

Revelation - Part 13b: We meet three angels in this portion of John's vision. The items mentioned here are spoken of as finished events yet to take place.

The love relationship God posed to Moses was to be propagated first and foremost by the family rather than the church. It was to be taught to the children at their house with tokens of remembrance at their posts and their gates. We must aspire to retreat to the original design of the family... family driven faith.
