God promises security and protection from all evil for those who remain in close fellowship with Him. Yet, as we look around today in our society, or even in the church world, we see people who really don't have time for God or who are not much interested in pursuing or maintaining a closer walk with Him. Why is that? This study will pinpoint the cause for such unreasonable behavior.

The Cloud is speaking. It has a message for you today. Do you know what it is saying? It is speaking of the Father's love and concern for you as you travel through this worldly "wilderness." It is speaking of revival in answer to repentance from all idolatry. It is speaking of having an encounter with God...the glory coming into the Church in answer to man's obedience ...and moving with God at His...

"We would like to think that the best always win, that the deserving are always rewarded. But our experience shows that expectations are not always realized." (Nelson's New Illustrated Bible Commentary) "Hardly anything in this upside-down world comes out the way it should. Life isn't always fair! The Good Man isn't always remembered. Wise words are often ignored while foolishness is given the blu...

Do you have GIANTS in your life who are opposing you on every front? Do they mock you every time you venture forth in the purpose or plan that God has ordained for you? Did you know that the key to bringing down your GIANTS is found in your PRAISE? Seeing the Invisible God and knowing Him to be the GREAT GOD that He is - GOD ALONE and above all gods - will enable you to take down your GIANTS once...

The Father is seeking "true worshipers" who will worship Him "in spirit" and "in truth." He uses affliction to cause His people to worship Him "in spirit" - with their whole heart engaged and their will in total submission to His will. He uses the word of "reproof" - personally or through His ministers - to cause them to worship Him "in truth" - without any hypocrisy. He has ordained that all of H...

"True religion is a determined purpose to do right, and not to do wrong, whatever may be the consequences, in either case. It matters not what follows - wealth or poverty; honor or dishonor; good report or evil report; life or death; the mind is firmly fixed on doing right, and not on doing wrong...whatever may be the result in regard to us, our determination is settled." (Barnes' Notes) "Come wha...

What sort of God? Are you feeling insecure...worrying about the future... worrying about what's going to happen? What sort of God? Is He world-changing, life-changing, city-changing, or nation-changing? Is He powerful enough to save ...to change your society? If you don't believe that anything can be changed, and you feel like giving up - perhaps it is time to start wondering what God you have! Wh...

"When God's people compromise with the world and turn away from obeying God's righteous ways, He calls them to repent, confess their spiritual poverty and seek His face. Christ wants all churches to examine their spiritual state in the light of the New Testament and its standards. Like Isaiah, today's prophets should call for repentance, humility, tears, prayer, and fasting, rather than frivolity....

"...God's glory, majesty, and holiness demand that those who serve Him also must be holy. Churches today likewise need a vision of God as holy in their midst, the King and Judge, the Lord Almighty." (Life in the Spirit Study Bible) Several people - mentioned in the Bible - got a glimpse of God's terrible majesty and had a notable reaction. Isaiah was one of them. Seeing God's terrible majesty caus...

Men reach extraordinary elevations in Christ who want to. You must intend to be godly. You are what you design to be. You possess as much of Jesus as you want. You possess the character which you intend to possess. You gain only what you mean to gain. The life of a Christian is a growth. A little child becomes a young man who then becomes a father in Christ. Matthew Henry said - "Christians are ut...

Are we living in Noah's world? Do you see a similarity between our society and Noah's? Is our society wicked, violent, ungodly, and refusing to listen to the righteous word of God? Is our society denying the Lord Jesus a place - doing whatever it wants without any thought to what He wants? Is our society preached to over and over again about the need to repent and turn to God - only to ignore and...

One thing the Church needs is the power of God resting upon it in order to serve Christ effectively. The Church Needs Divine Power! The world is filled with spiritual deadness and spiritual carelessness. People's hearts are closed to the truth. The world has no desire after God. It is not eagerly waiting to hear of a Savior. We must come back to the understanding that the Power of the Church comes...

How does the needy church pray when - in the midst of wicked and evil days - she faces an acceleration of a departure from God within her society? David offered this prayer in Psalm 119:126, which says - "It is time for Thee, LORD, to work: for they have made void Thy law." It is so important to understand that when the Bible is discarded, a flood of wickedness always follows. Consequently, it is...

What gives you the power, strength, and courage to - withstand the king's wrath ...stand against the tide of unbelief and doubt...do your God-given duty no matter the consequences...live for God in a hostile pagan world...and keep the faith in spite of severe testing, discouragement, and much trouble? Ask Noah, Moses, Caleb, Job, the three Hebrew children, Daniel, and Paul. They each will attest t...

We need an Open Heaven! Minister of God, Pastor, Believer, Churches of the Living God, you need an Open Heaven! For when there is an Open Heaven, there is a clear vision of God, an accurate word from the Lord, a powerful anointing to minister the Word, an outpouring of God's Spirit, fresh discoveries of God's "greater things," a knowledge of future events, and a true revelation of Jesus. God has "...

Are you feeling cast down or depressed over your present circumstances? In this message, the Holy Spirit has 3 "stops" to encourage, strengthen, and build up your faith. They are found in Psalm 3 and say - "You have an Adversary"..."You have an Advocate"...and "You have the Assurance." "Selah!" Mark this! These are great truths!

What makes the times bad? The Scriptures seem to imply that the times are very bad when iniquity is abounding - when there is a general decay of piety, honesty, and virtue. In Psalm 12, David surveyed the moral landscape of the society in his times. It had so many similarities to our present-day society. Though the 'wicked' may boast of their plans and purposes, God will have the Last Word! Unlike...

God wants to take you to a higher level in your praise to Him. He deserves that nothing in His worship be little. You must not be afraid of saying too much in your praise of Him. You are to praise Him for "His mighty acts" (what He does) and according to "His excellent greatness" (what He is). That requires that He be "greatly praised." While you do so, He is going to show you His "greatness" and...

Whether things go well or everything falls apart, God will be God. He will be eternally faithful to you. You can find hope in a hopeless situation when you believe in His faithfulness. As you face storms, trials, valleys, battles, or burdens, you can be sure that He will ever prove Himself to be faithful. When discouraged, remember His faithfulness. He will always do what He has promised to do! 'H...

Where is the direction of your trust? Is it in man, yourself, the things of this world or in God? Placing your trust in God will shut out all evil from your life. Placing your trust in man or the 'arm of flesh' will shut out all good from your life. Matthew Henry said - 'Those that trust to any arm of flesh will find it no better than a broken reed; but God is the Rock of ages." Israel found that...

Did you know that - as a child of God - you have a 'treasure' in your earthen vessel? You have the 'gift of God' - the Holy Spirit - the Power of the Godhead to make you an overcomer over all that you face in this life. But you must keep alive this 'gift.' The devil will try to stop you with a 'spirit of bondage again to fear.' However, God has given you a 'spirit of power,' 'a spirit of love,' an...

We are living in a day and an hour when many are claiming to walk with Jesus, yet their lifestyle shows otherwise. It shows that they are not living in agreement with His Word. The Prophet Amos inquired - 'Can two walk together, except they be agreed?' John Gill, the Bible Commentator, said - '...to a spiritual walk with God and communion with Him, agreement is requisite.' This message will lead y...

We need God's Presence, Glory, and Favor in order to be saved from our enemies. But He will not manifest Himself in the midst of sin or a people who are looking to the world for answers. What is needed is that God by His converting grace would turn His church back to Himself through the preaching of His uncompromising Word. Then He promises to pour out His Spirit in a genuine revival.

Do you find yourself in a crisis today? Are you needing a fresh touch from the Lord? Do you desperately need to know what to do - how to deal with your crisis? Are you in need of direction? David offers your remedy in Psalm 25:1 which says - 'Unto Thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul...' If you will do this and not lift up your soul unto 'vanity' or the things of this world, then God promises to giv...
