 Prayer According to Jesus, His House is to be a house of Prayer. You can read this for yourself in Matthew 21:13 Jesus said to them, “It is written [in Scripture], ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer’; but you are making it a robbers’ den.” He was quoting from  Isaiah 56:7 All these I will bring to My holy mountain And make them joyful in My house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be accepted on My altar; For My house will be called a house of prayer for all the peoples.” The Apostle Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 6:19 Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is within you, whom you have [received as a gift] from God, and that you are not your own [property]? When you accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour your body becomes the house "temple" of the Lord. He says that his house shall be called a house of prayer.  In 1 Thessalonians 5:17 it says "be unceasing and persistent in prayer;" in the Amplified Bible. In...

Creation Week (From Genesis chapter 1) Day 1 God said, "Let there be light" and there was light. He then divided the light from the darkness. Even from the beginning, God made a distinction between light and darkness.  Day 2 God divided the waters from the waters. In other words, he put in the firmament (sky). This means that at one time there was water above the sky.  Day 3 On this day God caused the water on earth to be gathered together so that dry land could appear. At this time God gave boundaries to the water. "And marked for it My [appointed] boundary  And set bars and doors [defining the shorelines],  And said, ‘This far you shall come, but no farther.  And here your proud waves shall stop’?" Job 38:10-11 Day 4 This rest of the solar system was created on this day. God created the sun, moon, stars, and what we now call planets. However, he even had a purpose for creating all of this. In Genesis  1:14-18 it says, "Then God said, “Let there be light-b...

  In the Beginning God created the Heavens and the Earth.  This literal creation was done in 7 literal days with God resting on the 7th day as an example for us to follow.  One of the 10 commandments tells us to remember the Sabbath and keep it holy.  Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:  For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. Exodus 20:8-11 This commandment is just as relevant now as it was then. The Israelites had a problem remembering their creator. We have a problem remembering that our creator made the earth just as he said that he did. We have allowed th...

  Introduction to the Old Testament Time Periods In the Old Testament there are 4 major time periods. These 4 time periods span a time period of around 3600 years.  Innocence Conscience The Patriarchs Law and Prophets 1. The time of Innocence was the time that Adam and Eve lived in the garden of Eden.  2. The time of the Conscience spans the time from the fall of man to Abraham. 3. The time of the Patriarchs goes from Abraham to Moses. 4. The time of the Law and Prophets goes from Moses to Abraham.  Every event in the Old Testament can be placed into one of these 4 big time periods.  Knowing these time periods can help us to organize everything that we are learning into a logical order.  Books of the Old Testament There are 36 books in the Old Testament. They are organized into the books of the law, history, poetry, and prophecy.  Inspired by God But understand this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is  a matter  of  or  c...

  The world has gone crazy. I look around and don't understand all of what is going on anymore. Things that used to be more or less written in stone is being questioned and, in some cases, throw out like yesterday's garbage.  This is sad on many levels. It shows just how many people are not rooted and grounded in the word of God. It shows that insanity that is taking place. It shows that we are closer to the return of Jesus than we were a few years ago.  However, everything taken place is only a symptom of the real problem. The majority of the people stopped reading the Word of God. They started just relying what the preacher said on Sunday. Now instead of the people needing and getting meat they need milk again. The milk and the meat symbolize different levels of knowledge. Jesus said that "... Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God." ( Matthew 4:4). In order to grow strong and be able to stand against the insanit...
