The battle between the truth of God and the lies of the devil ...

"Say to those who prophesy out of their own imagination: ‘Hear the Word of the Lord!" (Ezekiel 13:2)

The battle between the truth of God and the lies of the devil - It's been going on for a long time, and it keeps on going on and on. There will come a time when the devil will be completely defeated (Revelation 20:10) - but that time is not yet. For now, the devil "is filled with fury, because he knows that his time is short " (Revelation 12:12). While, we affirm, by faith, the Lord's final victory over the devil, we must not, while we are here on earth, take the devil lightly. He's working overtime, desperately trying to draw people away from the Lord. Those who know the Lord must never forget this. The world may close its ears to the Word of the Lord, but we must keep on saying, "Hear the Word of the Lord." Take away the Word of the Lord, and things will only get worse and worse. Without the Word of the Lord, people will never be brought to the Saviour. Let us keep on speaking the Word of the Lord, and let us keep on praying that people will come to Christ and be saved.

Sometimes, Lord, our lights are switched off.

Exodus 27:20-29:9   Sometimes, Lord, our lights are switched off. Sometimes, they're switched on. The light of Your love is never switched off. It's always switched on. Your love is 'all the time' love. There is no love like Your love for us. It's the only 'always and forever' love. Thank You, Lord, for the light that never stops shining - the light of Your undying love. This is the only light that is always shining.

Are we listening to the Lord - or are we listening to the world?

"Someone in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to give me my share of the inheritance that our father left us.” 14  Jesus said to him, “Who appointed me to be your judge or to divide your inheritance ?” 15  He told the people, “Be careful to guard yourselves from every kind of greed. Life is not about having a lot of material possessions.” 16  Then he used this illustration. He said, “A rich man had land that produced good crops. 17  He thought, ‘What should I do? I don’t have enough room to store my crops.’ 18  He said, ‘I know what I’ll do. I’ll tear down my barns and build bigger ones so that I can store all my grain and goods in them. 19  Then I’ll say to myself, “You’ve stored up a lot of good things for years to come. Take life easy, eat, drink, and enjoy yourself.”’ 20  “But God said to him, ‘You fool! I will demand your life from you tonight! Now who will get what you’ve accumulated?’ 21  That’s how it ...

Teach Us, Lord, To Live For You.

"I am filled with the power of the Lord's Spirit" (Micah 3:8). This is what makes true ministry of God's Word so different from 'prophecy' that doesn't come from the Lord. Without the power of the Lord, there can be no Word from the Lord. We need the Word, and we need the power. "Let's go to the mountain of the Lord ...He will teach us His ways so that we may live by them" (Micah 4:2). We are taught by the Lord so that we might live for Him. Teaching and living - they belong together. We do not learn from God's Word so that we can amass more head-knowledge. We pray for a saving knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ - a life-changing knowledge that gives us the strength that we need to live for the glory of God.
