  The Judgment of the World II The primary scriptures we are dealing with is “John 12:31 Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out. 32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.” In this, we are looking at the judgement of the world as it relates to the Lord Jesus Christ. His judgement at the cross, must become a judgment that is rea...

The Judgement of the Cross – The Judgement of the World In John Chapter 12, Jesus makes a statement that should challenge the hearts of all believers. “John 12:31 Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out. 32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.” NOW was now over two thousand years ago. In Christ it is still now to us who come...

The Judgement of the Cross – He Shall Bring Forth Judgement Unto Victory   In Matthew’s Gospel, Chapter 12:20 the scripture reads, “A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory. With the idea of judgement in much of the Christian Church, what does this mean?  How would Jesus send forth judgement to victory?   To understand this,...

 The Great High Priest - He Tasted Death For Every Man One in the midst of the seven candlesticks clothed with a garment down to the feet and girt about the Paps with a golden girdle.  Our Great High Priest.  Seeing Jesus and His Priesthood is one of the most glorious realities I have ever began to see.   In our relationship with God, He is our Priest.    In the simplicity of that understanding we...

A Lamb for a House III – Light of the New Day   When Israel departed Egypt heading to the promise land, they went out the blood-stained door in the light of a new day.  For 430 years they had been kept in Egyptian bondage.  This day was a new day for them.  In regarding this day, natural daylight had not changed.  Natural light had not changed but everything around the day had changed.  The percep...

The Revelation Series – The Son of Man in the Seven Golden Candlesticks, Girt about the Paps with a Golden Girdle   Have you ever noticed the detail in scripture?  When you read through the Books of Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy vivid detail is given to the instructions of the building of the Tabernacle, the Priests Garments, the Feast Days, the Trumpets, etc.  Why such detail?  Reme...

A Lamb for a House II Many Christians want to know how to live right, or how to have a greater relationship with Jesus Christ.  If I could tell any Christians what they should do, I would tell them to go in, close the door and eat the Lamb.  This picture was painted in Israel.  On the first Passover Israel was commanded to slay a Lamb, put the blood of the Lamb on the door post and eat it all, sav...

A Lamb for a House In Exodus 12 we can read the story of the first Passover.  The Children of Israel were instructed to kill a Lamb, place its blood on the door post and enter the House to eat the Lamb.  This was a new beginning for Israel.  Israel was coming out of Egyptian bondage.  The bitter years of slavery and bondage were over.   That night death passed through Egypt taking the life of the...

The Revelation Series – The Son of Man in the Seven Golden Candlesticks                                The High Priest Garments   For months now, I have been caught up in John’s seeing of Christ in the Seven Golden Candlesticks (Revelation 1:9-20).  Of His fullness and completion, we have received of His Grace.  Here, the picture of Him in the Candlesticks speaks of His fullness.  Walking, being r...

The Grace Series - Shall We Sin That Grace May Abound Let me begin by saying I am a preacher and teacher of Grace. It is s God’s Grace that saves us, and not our own works. However, many seem to believe that God was simply satisfied with us like we were, and Grace came to show us that. This idea is not true. God created man for His Own reflection and Identity in the earth. Man, in himself, became...

Grace Defined  What is the Grace of God and how do we define it?  Strong’s defines grace as "Graciousness (as gratifying), of manner or act (abstract or concrete; literal, figurative or spiritual; especially the divine influence upon the heart, and its reflection in the life; including gratitude)".  Some may like this definition some may not.  I do as it deals with the divine influence on the hear...

Two-Edged Sword V Hebrews 4:12 “For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.”   For the last few months we have been looking at the Son of Man in the seven golden candlesticks, declared of John in the Book of Revelation.  O...

Two-Edged Sword IV Revelation 1:16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth proceeded a sharp two-edged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.  Out of His mouth proceeds the sharp two-edged sword which is the Word of God.  In the Book of Hebrews, the writer says that the Word of God is quick and powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword.  This...

Two-Edged Sword III John 6:53-63 “It is the spirit that giveth life; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I have spoken unto you are spirit, and are life.” Out of His mouth comes a sharp two-edged sword, John writes in Revelation 1:16.  This two-edged sword is the Word of God.  This two-edged sword is Spirit and Life.  When we say it is the Word of God, does it simply mean it is the written...

In the appearance of the Son of Man the Apostle John writes.  Revelations 1:16  “And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth proceeded a sharp two-edged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.”  To bring this into context the two-edged sword coming out of His mouth was in the seven golden candlesticks.   In other words, the word of God that is sharper...

Beware that you be not spoiled of man Colossians 2:6-10 “As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: 7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. 8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ....

Two-Edged Sword  Revelation 1:16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth proceeded a sharp two-edged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.    Most Christians would believe that the description of the sword coming out of the mouth of the Lord is the word of God. As recorded in Matthew 4, Jesus said “Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every...

Hair White as Wool II  In our continual pursuit of Christ Jesus our Lord, we are looking at His Hair White as Wool, as John describes in Revelation 1.  Proverbs 20:29 “The glory of young men is their strength; and the splendor of elders is their gray hair.”  The grey or white hair is said to be the splendor of the elder man.  This word splendor speaks of beauty and majesty.  Throughout scripture,...

Hair White as Wool In Revelation Chapter 1, in the vision of the Son of Man in the Candlesticks, the scripture says His hair was white as wool and His eyes as a flame of fire.  Why is His hair white like wool, as white as snow?  Does this mean that Jesus simply aged and he had grey hair?  No, not at all.  We could say he is full aged, which would be a good start.  His hair being white as wool is s...

The Revelation Series - His Hair White as Wool and Eyes as a Flame of Fire II Revelation 1:14 “And his head and his hair were white as white wool, white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;” Over the last three weeks we have been looking at the description of the Son of Man as His Eyes as a Flame of Fire.  We have seen in scripture that it is declared there were seven lamps of fire befor...

The Revelation Series - Eyes as a Flame of Fire II Revelation 1:14 “And his head and his hair were white as white wool, white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;” In Revelation Chapter 5 John sees the Lamb of God having seven horns and seven eyes.  These seven horns and seven eyes are the seven Spirits of God.  In Chapter 1 and Chapter 4 the seven Spirits of God are called seven lamps o...

The Revelation Series - His Hair White as Wool and Eyes as a Flame of Fire Revelation 1:14 “And his head and his hair were white as white wool, white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;” His eyes were as a flame of fire.  If you explore the Greek words for flame and fire they mean just what they say.  So how could his eyes be as fire and how can I understand that?  We that are His shoul...

Revelation 3 Because you think you are rich and increased with goods, but you need to Buy of ME Dr. Lynn Hiles In Revelation Chapter 3 the Lord Jesus rebukes the church of Laodicea to buy of Him gold tried in the fire, and white raiment and be clothed that you would not dwell in shame.  Dr. Hiles deals with a people moving from their own self righteousness to the righteousness of God in Christ Jes...

His Countenance as the Sun III In the third sharing on His Countenance as the sun from the Book of Revelation Chapter 1, we continued to look at the day where the sun and moon would not be the light.   This day and the seeing in this day are found only in Christ.  He is the light we see by here, not of the sun or the moon, but Christ Himself is the light.  What do we see in His light? In three of...

His Countenance as the Sun II We are continuing our study of the Son of Man in the seven golden candlesticks.  We are looking at His countenance as the sun.  In the natural we see by sun light.  Our eyes have no sight without light.  Jesus is the sun we see by in the Spirit. Without Him there is no light.  John 1:4 “In him was life; and the life was the light of men.”  Isaiah 60:19 spoke of a day...
