Last Days

Read these verses and follow along.: Matthew 16:13-18 13 “When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? 14 ¶ And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. 15 ¶ He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? 16 ¶ And Simon Peter answered and said, Th...

The Lord has a purpose, He has a good pleasure and it culminates in His church. The church is Christ. His Body. His hearts desire. 12 For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. 13 For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body-Jews or Greeks, slaves or free-and all were made to drink of one Spirit. 14 Fo...

An example of how the Lord desires to take us on even in the little things that we might be conformed to the image of his Son. How is your experience in the “all things” of your life?

Are you according to God‘s purpose? Did you know that God is governed, controlled by his own good pleasure? Throughout history it is his good pleasure that has got us into these last days. And here we are able to join in with him day by day. Be challenged by his Example! (Actually a six minute challenge rather than five , I tried :-) )

Do you love God enough? Are you called? Yes! You are if you have the Son. Listen to hear More about this purpose of God for you. Romans 8:28b-29 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among...

Romans 8:28 says “we know that all things work together for good”. What is the good? Compare this to Ephesians chapter 1:4-5. The good is the good pleasure of God determined before the foundation of the world. In Genesis chapter 1 during creation, at the end of each day God said “and it was good”. Yet according to these verses in Ephesians his first declaration of good was before creation. The tri...

Romans 8:28 and 29 reveals the basic ingredients to God’s eternal purpose for your life. We may know these verses but do we see them? This was Paul’s burden for the church, “And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery”, (Ephesians 3:9)and that “The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling” (Ephesians 1:18 )Here the purpose of...

Understanding these two trees in the garden of Eden will set us up to comprehend God‘s eternal purpose for our lives. The tree of discerning good and evil is just another source of life. It’s the default source of living that we are subject to unless we know the Good Shepherd I Peter 2:25 says “For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.” Lis...

Listen to this song…Song on Living by the Tree of life: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=seaFedUt_gk There are Three words for life in Scriptures: -Bios (physical or external life) -Pseuke (soul or natural life comprised of your mind, will, and emotions) -Zoe (Gods life displayed on the earth by Jesus Christ Who became the life-giving spirit. This is the innermost Abundant life) Did you know the tr...

That is certainly the question of the day. What is truth? That’s what Pilate said to Jesus before he released him to the mob to be crucified. What is truth? Jesus didn’t answer. Pilate was asking philosophically and rhetorically as if to say “what do You have to offer the people in this day of chaos and pandemonium? If he only knew, truth is not a teaching but truth is a Person. The Person standin...

The Bible does not say much about Enoch but Scripture uses him to explain how that it is impossible to please God unless we have faith. Judgment, the flood, was coming. Enoch was Raptured. May that be our experience And may we have faith in these last days. Hebrews 11. . 5 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his...

Your love for the Lord is evidenced by your time spent with the Lord especially in his word. Loving the Lord by spending time with him in his word is crucial In demonstrating to our children the reality of the Christian life. Read these verses in Deuteronomy: Deuteronomy 6: 5 You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. 6 And these words that...

Not are you studying the word of God, not are you reading the word of God, not are you are having devotions, but are you spending time with Jesus when you are in the word. This is the way we feed up on the word of God when we pray and read the word with him in our spirit..John 6;63 The words which I have spoken unto you are spirit and are life. Jeremiah 15:6 Thy words were found, and I did eat the...

Are you excited about these last days? At the end of revelation there is mutual excitement on the part of the Spirit and the bride. This excitement can stir up the world around us and cause unbelievers who see this excitement to turn to Christ for hope. Revelation 22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that hears say, Come. And let him that is athirst come; he that will, let him...

How is your time in the word of God? Did you know that what you read this morning freshly came out of the mouth of God? Spending time with the Lord In his word is your refuge from your self and from all the turmoil going on in these last days. We desperately need to learn how to enjoy the word of God ***Remember the Christian life is not a life that you live, it has already been lived out! Christ...

The most natural way to spend time with God is through prayer. May our prayers be more than simply learned behaviors and phrases but Simply praying in the realm of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is a realm, just like our flesh is another realm. What’s in the realm of the Spirit in our spirit ? His love is there! This means his intentions toward us are there, his thoughts about us are there and o...

If we’re not spending time with the Lord, We are probably not enjoying the unconditional love of God. Read: Romans 5:1-5 “Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God…and hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our he...

The world certainly wants to get ahold of your children. May the Lord reveal to us in these last days how to Bring our kids to Him that He might lay hold of them instead! “And they were bringing children to him that he might touch them, and the disciples rebuked them. But when Jesus saw it, he was indignant and said to them, "Let the children come to me; do not hinder them, for to such belongs the...

Redeeming the time because the days are evil. Ephesians 5:16. What’s the first thing you turn to in the morning? What’s the last thing you turn to before you go to sleep? All too often we are turning to something other than the Lord himself. Consider these verses: Now in the morning, having risen a long while before daylight, He went out and departed to a solitary place; and there He prayed" (Mark...

Revelation 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. Ephesians 5:15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, 16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. 17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. 18 And be not drunk with wine...

Mary chose the very best and most needful thing that one could possibly do if Jesus was in their home. Is Jesus in your home? Yes he’s in your spirit now! Don’t let today’s activities wrap you up like Martha. Learn to sit at Jesus’ feet. Luke 10:38-42 “And it came to pass as they went that he entered into a certain village; and a certain woman, Martha by name, received him into her house. And she...

Is Jesus real? Can we actually interact with him 24/7 for anything and everything? Of course! In these last days It behooves us to help our children find Jesus more and more. Teach them to call on His name of the Lord. Jeremiah 33:3 call upon me and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things that you do not know.

How do you practically draw water from this living river inside of you? One of the simplest ways I know is to call on his name. Colossians 2:6 says As ye have received Christ Jesus the Lord, (when you first called on Him) so continue to walk in him.” Romans 10:13 says Whoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved Verse 12 also says the same Lord is rich to all who call upon his name. I...

John 4:24 “God is Spirit , and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth.” This is a pivotal verse in God’s plan. It’s important to know who Jesus spoke it to, what “worship”means, discover where we worship Him, and find out what it means to do it in spirit and in truth. Don’t pass up this challenging episode. Psalm 2:12. “Kiss the Son lest He be angry…”

As a Christian there is a river flowing from your innermost being. We need to know what this river is and how to access this water. Read John 7:37 “In the last, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried saying, If any one thirst, let him come to me and drink. 38 He that believes on me, as the scripture has said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. 39 But this he said concer...
