When Jesus makes the statement, "Heaven and Earth shall pass away, but my words shall abide forever," what is He speaking of?  Is it the literal Heaven and Earth?  Many believe the literal, physical earth will pass away, and new literal physical earth shall come.   However, if we look at the scripture when Jesus makes the statement, "Heaven and Earth shall pass away, but my words shall abide forev...

What does Jesus mean when He says Heaven and Earth shall pass away, but my words shall not, Matthew 24:35?  In my early years, walking with the Lord, I would have believed or understood this to mean some day the literal Heaven and Earth will pass and a new one will be established.  Something to that effect.  However, if that is what is true to this statement, does it mean the physical heavens or t...

Jesus said, as recorded in Matthew 24 the gospel shall be preached in all the world then the end shall come.  If we consider this with the beginning questions the disciples asked, we may have a different view of the end of the world.  When Jesus told them they there shall not be one stone left on another, the disciples asked when shall this be, what is the sign of your coming and the end of the ag...

Much of the time when we consider scriptures referring to the end of the world we think of the end of the physical earth and all the inhabitants within.  It could be thought of as a complete cosmic destruction of planet earth and the physical heavens.  However, many of the words in the scripture interpreted world are from a Greek word aion and means a period of time or an age. So when the disciple...

For many years many believers believe they are the generation declared in Matthew 24.  "This generation shall not pass away until all these things be fulfilled."  However, I would suggest that if you are in Christ, you are a different generation.  In Psalms 22:30, the LORD spoke through the Psalmist that He would have a seed for a generation.  The Apostle Peter calls the believer a Holy Generation...

What is the End of the World that is declared in the Bible?  How does it come?  Jesus declared Himself to be the Sign of the End.  Luke 11:  29 As the crowds were increasing, He began to say, “This generation is a wicked generation; it seeks for a sign, and yet no sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah.  30 “For just as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so will the Son of Man be to thi...

There is no greater sign than Christ Himself.  Jesus said there would be no sign given but Jonah the Prophet.  He was three days in the belly of the whale signifying the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ our Lord.  He was the sign who was given to Israel.  All the other events were a result of THE SIGN.  They were compassed with the Army of Rome, the sun did not give her light, and th...

Acts 2:16 "But this is that which hath been spoken through the prophet Joel:         17 And it shall be in the last days, saith God, I will pour forth of my Spirit upon all flesh: And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, And your young men shall see visions, And your old men shall dream dreams: 18 Yea and on my [ b ]servants and on my [ c ]handmaidens in those days Will I pour forth of my...

What is the sign of the Coming of the Lord?  This is a question we should answer. Just a thought the Apostle Paul said in 1 Corinthians that tongues was for a sign, which comes out of Isaiah. God saying, he would speak to them in other tongues.  Is the Spirit dwelling in us the sign? I know there may be natural signs, but we now have the in dwelling Christ. Glory to God.  1 Corinthians 14:22Wheref...

In the believer's hearts the NEW must be established.  It is tragic that many today live after the Old Covenant and the Old House.  Many believe, as I once did myself, when we come into a building we call the Church are coming in the House of God.  We come in hoping that the power of God's presence and glory cloud may come down in our midst to see Him work among us.  Yes my heart yearns that God w...

2 Corinthians 6:16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.  We as believers are built up in the knowledge of Christ as the very Temple of the Living God!  Glory to God.

Matthew 24:1 "And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. 2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down." Jesus told Hs disciples not one stone would be left upon another that all would be thrown down. ...

These sharing's are intended to build you up in Christ.  It is my heart that we would come to the end of the old man, that Jesus put to death at Calvary, and be renewed in the Spirit of our mind.  In the renewing, we would live in the New Man that is brought forth in His resurrection.  From these renewing, we would view all things as it is in Christ.  Glory to God!

If we consider the Old Covenant Temple, and the Glory.  We had a house that was filled with God's Glory.  Jesus is the Glory of God.   We are His house.  He is the Glory that fills the house!  Glory to God!

Most of spend our time in some kind of labor.  It can be success, having a great home, a super family or a successful business.  All of these things can be good and noble and used for the Kingdom of God.  However, Jesus said to labor for the meat that brings life.  He then says that He is the Bread of Heaven.  He is the meat of God.  We are to eat of Christ.  This is not a once a week event.   In...

When we come to see that He is all in all, our hearts cry to be filled with Him.  This should be the desire and mind of those in Ministry for themselves and for the Church.  "That I may know Him and the power of His resurrection."     Ephesians 3:14 "For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, 16 That he would gr...

To Abide in Him and in His Word.  This is of the greater desire of my heart.  That may come to a place in Christ where I abide.  Where is my sunshine.  He is my desire.  He is my LIFE!  Glory to God!

What is the law of life in Christ Jesus that Paul refers to in the Book of Romans?  In the Person of Jesus Christ, we have life and have it abundantly.  This life is in us and is made known through Him.  As Christ is made known or revealed we begin to see and experience His life.  It is His Life that is to be manifested into the earth!  Glory to God!

We who are in the New Covenant, who are in Christ, and have come to an understanding that we are not under the Mosaic law may not fully comprehend what we are under.  We who are married or joined to the Lord are One Spirit.  We are in and under that of Him who lives in us.  Glory to God!

From Sinai we have a word given that was the Law.  From Christ we have a Word given that is Life.  It is this Life and living Word that is now within us.  The New Covenant is simply Christ Living in us, and the fullness He brings to our hearts!  Glory to God!

What is the New Covenant?  Can you find the words written in your Bible that spells out the Covenant like you do in the Old Covenant?  I don't believe we can.  Jesus said His blood is the blood of the New Covenant.  He is the Covenant of God.  Christ in you is the Word of Covenant.  As He is revealed and known by you by the Spirit of God you come to understand and live in the New Covenant.  Glory...

John 1:1 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men."  Here it is.  Out from this statement, I believe flows ALL THINGS!  The thought, the intent, the purpose was in the WORD.  All t...

1Jn 1:1 "That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; 2 (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;) 3 That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that...

We find in Ephesians 1, God has gathered all things in Christ and in the administration of the fullness of time the Holy Spirit is showing us all things He has gathered.  Glory to God!

In the beginning of creation God created the heavens and the earth.  And God said let there be light.  This was before he created the sun, moon and stars.  What is the Light from the beginning?  Jesus said I am the Light of the world.  This is the answer. When Jesus came into the world, He brought the Light of God's plan and purpose to man.  This was God living in man.  God was in Christ as we hav...
