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)”
Discerning the Body (Eight Steps – Part 11)
Another quality that is needed to help us mature in Christ is brotherly love. The Apostle John wrote about the type of love that God expects from us. We must love God, not the world (1Jn. 2:15); we must not walk in sin (1Jn. 3:9); we must love others in the Body of Christ (1Jn.Continue reading “Discerning the Body (Eight Steps – Part 11)”

A Time of Preparation (Eight Steps – Part 8)
I recently heard a prophet of God declare that the Word of the Lord for 2020 is “Prepare!”, because starting in 2021 more difficult times will come, and the Church is not ready. I find it interesting that I started sharing articles on this website at the end of 2019 and my first article wasContinue reading “A Time of Preparation (Eight Steps – Part 8)”
Sanctifying the Spirit (Eight Steps – Part 7)
What does the Bible mean when it speaks of cleansing ourselves from all filthiness of the spirit? This topic is the source of many troubles in our lives because it is little understood. Is there a process for renewing the spirit that is different than the one for renewing the mind? The prophet David criedContinue reading “Sanctifying the Spirit (Eight Steps – Part 7)”
Staying Focused (Eight Steps Part 6)
We began this series listing eight qualities needed for spiritual maturity. With the current pandemic situation gripping the world, we need to stay focused. It does not mean that we ignore the crisis, it means that we keep our eyes on the Lord. It is a trial and we must go through it as overcomers. Continue reading “Staying Focused (Eight Steps Part 6)”
Dying Daily (Eight Steps – Part 5)
When I received Christ by faith, I was baptized into the death of our Lord, and my spirit was raised with Him to a new life. My old nature was crucified with Him, so I am no longer a slave to sin. By faith, I walk in victory. So, why then do I still sin? Continue reading “Dying Daily (Eight Steps – Part 5)”
