I have been hearing a lot of thought on the matter of prayer. Sometimes it sounds to me as though we always have power in prayer. No matter how we have violated God's word, His law, His ordinances, or His worship; and the way we live our lives; it has sounded to me as though …

The Great Servant Who Would Suffer
The following verses were written about 700 years previous to the birth of Jesus. They are prophetic Scripture which foretell the suffering of Jesus Christ. Hear them, hear the word of the LORD and believe. "Who hath believed our report? And to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed? For He shall grow up before …
The Learned, Hearing Servant
My daily reading was Isaiah 46 - 50. I pray some are following along. "The Lord GOD hath given Me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: He wakeneth morning by morning, He wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned. The …
The Maker and God Makers
It has been said by men, that people make god in their own image. To a certain extent that is true. If we form our view of god according to what we perceive as god, or use the view that every one else holds of god then that statement is true, and we will be …
The Wait
In our minds "waiting" is a boring, and aggravating task that we sometimes do in a dentist, doctors, or lawyers office. We wait in busy traffic when we drive in cities. My reading for today was Isaiah 39 - 42 and I chose these verses to share with any who desire to read... "Hast thou …
To Trust or to Defy the Living God
My reading for today was Isaiah 36 - 38. In these chapters the Assyrians have been on a rampage through the land of Judah, destroying and pillaging; and they have come to Jerusalem which is walled and protected by good soldiers. The king of Assyria sends his messenger to the wall with a threatening message, …
It Is In God’s Hands
I sometimes get to thinking that I have no fear in my life. When I do that something happens; a sickness in the family, a tragedy, a storm; you get the idea; is sent my way, and fear is present. It has occurred to me that when I am walking with the LORD in communion …
The Grace of the LORD
"And therefore will the LORD wait, that He may be gracious unto you, and therefore will He be exalted, that He may have mercy upon you: for the LORD is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for Him. For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem: thou shalt weep no more: …
Threshing
The Threshing “And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall beat off from the channel of the river unto the stream of Egypt, and ye shall be gathered one by one, O ye children of Israel. And it shall come to pass in that day, that the great trumpet shall …
The Valley of Vision
For the Valley of Vision “In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, shall the nail that is fastened in the sure place be removed, and be cut down, and fall; and the burden that was upon it shall be cut off: for the LORD hath spoken it.” Isaiah 22:25 (KJV) From chapter 13 of …
O, What Glory That Will Be
"And there shall come forth a Rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: and the Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon Him, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD; and shall …
The Only Word of God
"And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? For the living to the dead? To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there …
The Peril of Haughty Daughters
"Moreover the LORD saith, 'Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet: therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the LORD will discover …
A Refrain, and a Reminder
We read the Song of Solomon, sometimes called the Song of Songs this morning, chapters 1 - 8. The title reflects on what the lesson on today. I want you to note the difference between chapter 8 verse 4, and chapter 2 verse 7, and chapter 3 verse 5. These three verses are the refrain …
Embracing Aging
I believe what many of the scholars of Scripture have taught over the years, about the time Solomon would have written this book of wisdom - Ecclesiastes - that it was written in the latter years of his life. The following verses are the reason for their conclusion and mine... "Remember now thy Creator in …
