In Isaiah 41 is found a promise to God’s chosen people, Israel, which is now the church, the temple of God; Christ’s holy bride. God is promising those who are his that he has chosen us, he has not rejected us, so we don’t need to be afraid or alarmed when things begin to go … Continue reading I Will Uphold You

He Touched My Mouth
Isaiah and Jeremiah were prophets of God in Old Testament times. When they spoke in the name of the Lord God Almighty, they spoke the exact words of God for his people, i.e. they were the word of God. All the law and the prophets were fulfilled in Jesus Christ. Jesus is the Word (see … Continue reading He Touched My Mouth
Your Grace Divine
All that I have was given to me by the Lord Jesus. John 1:12 says that, to those who receive Jesus Christ; to those who believe on his name, he gives the right to become children of God.

They twisted and distorted the word of God … Continue reading Seven Woes
To My Beloved

We are to submit ourselves to God. We are to be self-controlled and alert, because our enemy … Continue reading To My Beloved
Teach Them
I was praying for various people I love who are still blinded by sin’s deceitfulness. My heart was heavy with care and concern for their lives. I began praying this first verse to the Lord, which is actually Jesus’ commission to Paul as recorded in Acts 26:16-18, before it actually became the first verse to … Continue reading Teach Them
Walking in The Light
If you ever want to know what it truly means to be saved and to be in Christ, and whether or not repentance and obedience to Christ are really required by God for salvation, then read the book of 1 John.

Broken and Contrite
5/13/12: I was praying and crying through some situations in my life, seeking the Lord’s wisdom, counsel and direction, and asking him to cleanse me of all impurities.
