“You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.” 2 Timothy 2:3

“No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier.” 2 Timothy 2:4

The image that these verses place in our mind is that of a “good soldier.” A good soldier has been trained to do one thing, perform his duty!

The word duty means “obligatory task.” [Read more…]

Each book of the Bible has its own anointing from God. I’ve had some people ask me why every book of the Bible is important, and why they should read them all. Each book is something special. The Bible as a whole is important! The following is an outline of some of the anointings in each book. In my up coming book Behold I Stand At The Door And Knock, I wrote:

“The Bible is not just one big book, but actually a collection of 66 smaller books written over a period of at least 1600 years by about 40 different authors. Everything they wrote was inspired by God. In the front of your Bible is a Table of Contents which lists the names of the books of the bible. The Bible is divided into two sections: the first section which contains three-fourths of the Bible is called the Old Testament; the second section is called the New Testament. [Read more…]

In Genesis, the Anointing is Abraham’s Visitations, Jacobs’ ladder, and Joseph’s Dreams. * In Exodus, The a Anointing is Moses’ Rod that split the Red Sea, the Pillar of Fire by night, and the Glory Cloud by day. * In Leviticus, the Anointing is the Consecration Oil poured on the Priests. * In Numbers, the Anointing is Aarons’ Rod that Budded. * In Deuteronomy, the Anointing is Manna raining down from Heaven. * In Joshua, the Anointing is the Steps that Parted the Jordan River and the Trumpet Blast that toppled Jericho’s Walls. * In Judges’ the Anointing is Samson’s Hair, Samson’s Jawbone of a Donkey, and Gideon’s Fleece.

Last night an Angel asked if I would be willing to spend an hour in Heaven. I politely said, “Yes.” As the Angel was showing me around we walked into a large room filled with Angels.

The Angel stopped in front of the first group of other Angels and said, “This is the receiving area. Here, all prayers and petitions to God are received.”

As I looked around this area, it was very busy, with Angels gliding to and fro about the room; they were sorting out the prayers and petitions from all the Christians on earth. The volumes were so large and numerous that I could never imagine God hearing them let alone answering all of them. [Read more…]

“After this there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. Now there is in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate a pool, which is called in Hebrew, Bethesda, having five porches. In these lay a great multitude of sick people, blind, lame, paralyzed, waiting for the moving of the water. For an angel went down at a certain time into the pool and stirred up the water; then whoever stepped in first, after the stirring of the water, was made well of whatever disease he had. Now a certain man was there who had an infirmity thirty-eight years. When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he already had been in that condition for a long time, He said to him, ‘Do you want to be made well [whole]?’ [Read more…]

Is your prayer life in the doldrums? Do you find it difficult to pray, and have little enthusiasm for prayer? I have also had the same problem. Many times I find prayer difficult, and simply cannot find the words to pray. Then the Lord led me in a different direction which has changed everything. Please let me share it with you.

Get yourself a bound book with blank lined pages. It is better to have a bound book so the pages cannot come out. This will be your journal. You need one for your quiet times, and one for your prayer life. (In your quiet time journal you will write down those things that the Lord shows you or promises He gives to you, so that you can go back and review and not forget them. This is very important!)

The problem with persecution is that it always comes as criticism and lies about us, and various problems. It never comes in a way that we can see it is a direct result of our being servants of Jesus Christ. In fact, Satan never accuses you of being a servant of Jesus, he always has others accuse you of serving Satan, or being a thief, or a liar, or many other things. Too often we allow such slander by others to engulf us in guilt because there is often a small grain of truth mixed in, especially if we have made a mistake of some sort, or an unwise decision. We must not allow the demons to fill our minds with thoughts of guilt, worthlessness and defeat. Just look at what God’ word has to say about such persecution: [Read more…]

From Daniel:

“The Lord is my shepherd;
I shall not want.
He makes me to lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside the still waters.
He restores my soul;
He leads me in the paths of righteousness
For His name’s sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley
Of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil;
For you are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the
Presence of my enemies;
You anoint my head with oil;
My cup runs over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days of my life;
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord
Forever. Psalm 23 [Read more…]

What does it mean to walk with God? What does walking with God involve? How does walking with God benefit me? Does it put food on my table, clothe me, protect me and bring me favor and good things? Is there any benefit in walking with God? What if I do my own thing and never walk with God’s instructions? These and many more questions will be addressed in this teaching.

God is the author of life and the creator of all humans. He made the first man and made the woman out of his ribs and gave her to him to be his wife. He blessed and empowered them to be fruitful and fill the Earth. Billions have walked on this earth from Adam and Eve. The Bible also reveals that God created man for a purpose – for God’s pleasure.

I (Rebecca) have had a struggle with fear my whole life. I was born to parents who were ruled by fear. I was raised in a legalistic church where every member was controlled by fear. Fear of the terrible consequences if we did not obey our leaders in everything. [Read more…]
