Because God is so glorious and radiates such marvellous light, everything around him will be darkened. All the angels and cherubs will be darkened or rendered insignificant in his brightness. God is so glorious that once we see him clearly, all the things around him, such as angels, cherubs, and even the throne, lose their glamour. Only God will fascinate us. Many people claim to see God, but their eyes are not darkened to the rest of the world...
These days lot of Christians live a life of defeat or disappointment by believing the whispers of the enemy. Our situations in life may be dead or defeated. When our situations are dead and defeated, we easily believe the words of our surroundings or friends that situations are dead and will not change. The words of doubt or unbelief that our dead situations will not change and God’s promises will not be fulfilled are the whispers of the...
This is missing in today's modern churches. A zeal for God’s name and honour produces this anger. An anger that is Holy. When the reverence or honour due to God’s name, church, or people is disrespected, then we see sudden bursts of this anger. These people with holy anger get angry when God’s name is disrespected or dishonoured. Jesus showed this anger in the temple courts when people were buying and selling items in the church. Phinehas...
Now when the people saw that Moses delayed coming down from the mountain, the people gathered together to Aaron, and said to him, “Come, make us gods that shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.” Exodus 32:1God was so lost in time, when he was speaking to Moses. God did not react when the Israelites began to make the idol, but once the idol was...
“Arise, go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and dwell there. See, I have commanded a widow there to provide for you.” 1 Kings 17:9Elijah went to the right widow, but she had no provisions to provide for the prophet. She just had a handful of flour in a bin and a little oil in a jar to make one last meal before dying. She was getting ready to eat her last meal and then die. God said He commanded the widow, but the widow was unaware of...
Woe is me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips - Isaiah 6:5When the Prophet Isaiah encountered God, he had to repent of only one type of sin – Unclean lips. For us, when we encounter God, how many sins would we need to repent before God. It can easily be many sins which we can mention like an essay. There can be many known and unknown sins. There can even be some secret sins that we are unaware of until we encounter God. Isaiah...
Joshua was in the tent of meeting when God’s Glory came, and God spoke to Moses face to face (Exodus 33:11). Joshua saw God's Glory many times but never saw the person of God who spoke to Moses in God's Glory. If Joshua had seen the person of God even once, when the commander of the army of the LORD came, he would have easily recognised that the army commander belonged to God. We might also be in the same place. We see God's Glory many times...
Thus it happened, when the king heard the words of the Law, that he tore his clothes. 20 Then the king commanded Hilkiah, Ahikam the son of Shaphan, Abdon the son of Micah, Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah a servant of the king, saying, 21 “Go, inquire of the LORD for me, and for those who are left in Israel and Judah, concerning the words of the book that is found; for great is the wrath of the LORD that is poured out on us, because our fathers...
As we are inching closer to the Lord's return, the Lord is coming closer to His people, both spiritually and physically. Spiritually, there is going to be a revival among his people, and physically, as the Lord is coming physically close to earth, there will be many physical shakings and devastations. These external devastations and plagues are not intended to make you lose hope, but rather to remove your love and affection for material...
“But on this one will I look: On him who is poor and of a contrite spirit, And who trembles at My word.” Isaiah 66:2God does not have a vessel to look upon who is poor and of a contrite spirit, and who trembles at His word. God is not able to find a vessel like Prophet Ezekiel or Evan Roberts on whom he can look upon, trust and place His power and authority on him to send His fullness of life(i.e. Revival). There are many so-called vessels,...
