"Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls: yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will …

Many people spend much of their time trying to perform religious duties. Religious duties that help them feel as though they are doing something that really obligates God to bless them, or to save them.

"Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt. And I will bring again the captivity of My people of Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, …
"My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to Me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

Daniel was praying, fighting a spiritual battle. You will be able to see that as you read the tenth chapter of Daniel. He desired to understand what he had seen and heard concerning the visions and dreams. As this "man" appears to him he is weakened, and then strengthened. We hear the messenger call Daniel …
We are looking at a recorded prayer of Daniel today. Daniel is confessing the sins of his people, his nation while they are held captive in Babylon. He has read the prophet Jeremiah (Daniel 9:2), and saw the great need for the repentance of the people. The place to begin repentance is with myself. Hear …
Whether we Christians would like to admit it or not we are strangers in a foreign land. That does not matter what part of the world we live in. We are both citizens and captives in our respective countries, and lands. We are citizens of nations, because we are in the world. We are captives …
"Then He brought me back the way of the gate of the outward sanctuary which looketh toward the east; and it was shut. Then said the LORD unto me; This gate shall be shut, it shall not be opened, and no man shall enter in by it; because the LORD, the God of Israel, hath …
There are so many who are telling us that God is finished with Israel. That they are no longer God's chosen people or nation. However, for someone to say that they are going against both the Old Testament prophecies, and the teachings of the New Testament as well. Look at this prophecy through the prophet …
There were a few times when I was a kid, that I got to use whitewash. Some may be asking, "What is whitewash?" I do not remember what the ingredients in it are, but I remember it was used by many people to put a cheap covering over a hard looking building, fence, or barn. …
There are many phrases used throughout the prophecy of Ezekiel. "Son of man" how the LORD speaks to Ezekiel, an endearing term for him; another phrase used a little less often is "They, [we],or [you] shall know that I am the LORD". That is the one to which I write today. I have noted that …
"For the sins of her prophets, and the iniquities of her priests, that have shed the blood of the just in the midst of her, they have wandered as blind men in the streets, they have polluted themselves with blood, so that men could not touch their garments. They cried unto them, Depart ye; it …
"For Israel hath not been forsaken, nor Judah of his God, of the LORD of hosts; though their land was filled with sin against the Holy One of Israel. Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and deliver every man his soul: be not cut off in her iniquity; for this is the time of …
"Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for Me?" Jeremiah 32:27 "Thus saith the LORD the maker thereof, the LORD that formed it, to establish it; the LORD is His name; call unto Me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, …
"Moreover thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD; Shall they fall, and not arise? Shall he turn away, and not return?
