Repairers of the Breach

The watchman prophet stands on the wall and sounds the alarm when the enemy approaches.  The warrior intercessor stands in the gap and pleads the Lord to have mercy and deliver the city.  We must heed the voice of the prophets and we must respond to the Lord’s call for intercessors (Ezek. 22:30), but theContinue reading “Repairers of the Breach”

End-Time Vision – Part 2

In the book of Revelations, we read about a day when the devil and his angels are cast out of heaven, to the earth (Rev. 12:9).  This is an event that occurs later than the one at the beginning where he loses his position as an archangel.  At the fall of man, he stole man’sContinue reading “End-Time Vision – Part 2”

End-Time Vision – Part 1

When it comes to end-time events, we must admit that we only see in part and know in part (1Cor. 13:9-12).  For us to continue seeing more clearly, two things are necessary.  First, we must not be too quick to draw conclusions.  Secondly, we must be willing to hear what others are saying.  It isContinue reading “End-Time Vision – Part 1”

The Remnant

Isaiah was a prophet to the nation of Israel before she was led into captivity because of her rebellion.  He described her condition as: “The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faints.  From the sole of the foot even to the head, there is no soundness in it…” (Is. 1:5-6).  When I cameContinue reading “The Remnant”

Preparing the Way of the Lord (Updated)

There is a voice crying in the wilderness, “Prepare the way of the Lord; make straight in the desert a highway for our God” (Isa. 40:3).  Before the First Coming of the Lord, John the Baptist was such a voice.  He cleared the way for the people to receive the Messiah by preaching a messageContinue reading “Preparing the Way of the Lord (Updated)”

A High Calling

There is only one calling for the Church; it is a high calling.  The Apostle Peter said that we “as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.” (1Pe. 2:5).  We are God’s special people, a chosen generation, a royalContinue reading “A High Calling”

The Road to Zion

One of the passages in scripture that has been foundational to the message the Lord has given me is Isaiah Chapter 35.  It speaks of a road in the wilderness, the Highway of Holiness, which allows the redeemed of the Lord to return to Zion (Isa. 8-10).  The redeemed are those who have believed untoContinue reading “The Road to Zion”

Spiritual Manhood (Eight Steps – Part 12)

Are we there yet?  If not, how will we know when we get there?  Early in my Christian walk I came in possession of a little book that deeply influenced my relationship with the Lord.  Hudson Taylor’s Union and Communion uses the Song of Solomon to describe our personal relationship with Christ.  The author pointsContinue reading “Spiritual Manhood (Eight Steps – Part 12)”
