Prov. 25:2 ¶ It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, But the glory of kings is to search out a matter. I heard Bill Johnson say, in explaining this verse, that God doesn’t hide things from us, but He does hide things for us. To not understand something, especially if it’s critical, […]

Psalm 27:4-6 4 One thing I have asked from the Lord, that I shall seek: That I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, To behold the beauty of the Lord And to meditate in His temple. 5 For in the day of trouble He will conceal me

Sadly, I hear so many Christians talk about the devil and warfare way too much. Rev. 6 says that Jesus came conquering and to conquer. Col. 2 says that Jesus defeated the enemy and made a public display of his defeat when He disarmed him. Satan loves for our focus, and conversation to be on

Matt. 4:1 ¶ Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. Jesus came to declare the reign of a new Kingdom. His message was the same as John the Baptist’s message when He announced that the Kingdom of God was here. 1 john 5:19 says that

John 5:44 “How can you believe, when you receive glory from one another and you do not seek glory from God only? This is an amazing verse. To live for God’s glory involves giving Him all the honor in everything, but it also means to live for His affirmation and praise alone, over your life
