Prepared for the Times, Part 26

I am often given trade and news journal subscriptions from groups that I sometimes cannot understand why they think I would have an interest in them, but nonetheless, I appreciate them reaching out. Lately these different journals, from unrelated industries or groups, have been taking on a common theme. Now there seems to be a continuous cry from all sectors of society to help save their freedoms. This is a revelation.

Day 18 - The Sabbath

       Thus the heavens and the earth were completed, and all their hosts.
       And by the seventh day God completed His work which He had done;
       and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done.
 
       Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it,
       because in it He rested from all His wo

Unrighteous Judgment - The Great Commission, Part 43

        This week we will briefly cover an issue that has many Christians in confusion and has been a major stumbling block to keep them from fulfilling the purpose of God in their lives. In Luke 6:37 the Lord said, “Do not judge, and you will not be judged; and do not condemn, and you will not be condemned; pardon, and you will be pardoned.” From this text, believers and non-believers have assumed that Jesus told us not to judge others, but that is not what He said or meant.   

An Extraordinary Person

On July 20, when Tammy Faye Messener passed away at age sixty-five, it was on international news because she was considered one of the interesting and extraordinary people of these times. As the wife of Jim Bakker, she was a co-founder of Heritage USA, and one of the pioneers of Christian television. After the failure of the PTL ministry, Tammy Faye continued to surface in the news, and drew continual interest from millions because she was such an interesting person.

Sheep and Goat Nations - The Great Commission, Part 4

         You do not need to be a prophet to see that we are in the times that the apostles and prophets spoke of when the kingdoms of this world would be collapsing and the kingdom of God growing. However, even many Christians who see how shaky the governments of this world are becoming do not yet see the signs of the coming kingdom. To understand the times, we must become increasingly discerning of these two kingdoms. Now there is one more factor we must consider as a basis for this study, which is declared in Revelation 11:15:

Where Do We Go From Here?

Last November I began a series of bulletins on "The Worst That Can Happen," which I intended to follow by "The Best That Can Happen." I postponed doing these for one main reason—I felt that events were about to take place, and decisions made, that were going to give us a clearer indication of the course to which we are headed. I think that this has been true.

Maturing in the Prophetic

     We have begun to discuss the levels of prophetic revelation from impressions to being caught up into heaven such as Paul and John did in the New Testament. Generally, it makes sense that the more dramatic, or high level the revelation, the more important it is. Others seem to think that the more high level the revelation, the greater the ministry of the prophet, but neither of these may be the case.
