I have also spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied visions, and used similitudes, by the ministry of the prophets. Is there iniquity in Gilead? Surely they are vanity: they sacrifice bullocks in Gilgal; yea, their altars are as heaps in the furrows of the fields. And Jacob fled into the country of Syria, and Israel …

The LORD is round about His people
They that trust in the LORD shall be as Mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever. As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about His people from henceforth even for ever. For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the …
For Your Mercies Sake
O LORD, rebuke me not in Thine anger, neither chasten me in Thy hot displeasure. Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed. My soul is also sore vexed: but Thou, O LORD, how long? Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: oh save me for Thy …
If… I Should Have Denied My God
If I have made gold my hope, or have said to the fine gold, 'Thou art my confidence;' if I rejoiced because my wealth was great, and because mine hand had gotten much; if I beheld the sun when it shined, or the moon walking in brightness; and my heart hath been secretly enticed, or …
Presumption Is Deadly
"But the soul that doeth ought presumptuously, whether he be born in the land, or a stranger, the same reproacheth the LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from among his people. Because he hath despised the word of the LORD, and hath broken His commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut off; his …
The LORD Stood With Him
"And the LORD descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the LORD. And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, 'The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth, keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will …
Rebellion, Witchcraft, and Stubbornness
"Then came the word of the LORD unto Samuel, saying, 'It repents Me that I have set up Saul to be king: for he is turned back from following Me, and has not performed my commandments.' And it grieved Samuel; and he cried unto the LORD all night. And when Samuel rose early to meet …
Pleading Intercession for the People
Moses had sent twelve men into the land before them; the Promised Land; and the twelve returned with some glowing reports. Ten of them, however, only saw the obstacles, the giants in the land, and refused to see the Divine possibilities. Because of their unbelief God has given Moses a thought of giving it to …
Unrighteousness or Righteousness? – Romans 6:12-23
"Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. For sin shall not have dominion …

The Power of Prayer has a “But” Attached
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 …
They Who Trust in the LORD
"A Song of degrees. They that trust in the LORD shall be as Mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever. As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about His people from henceforth even for ever. For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the …
Will God Give Us Revival Again?
Psalms 84 and 85 are songs written for the sons of Korah. Now unless you are familiar with their story the Psalms for them will not mean too much to you. You will find their story in Numbers 16. Let me suggest that you go and read that, then the Psalms for the sons of …
What God Has Done for My Soul
"Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what He hath done for my soul. I cried unto Him with my mouth, and He was extolled with my tongue. If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me: but verily God hath heard me; He hath attended to the voice …
A Sure Foundation
Building on anything other than God’s foundation will lead to disaster; the fall of the building, and the fall of a life as well (Matthew 7:21-27). The Church as an institution, neither the individual Christian life can survive without being founded and set sure upon the foundation of God. Hear the apostle Paul… “Study to …
The LORD Will Not Do Iniquity
“Woe to her that is filthy and polluted, to the oppressing city! She obeyed not the voice; she received not correction; she trusted not in the LORD; she drew not near to her God. Her princes within her are roaring lions; her judges are evening wolves; they gnaw not the bones till the morrow. Her …
