An Extraordinary Encounter

What was it like to have a face-to-face encounter with Jesus? From the physically broken man of Mark 2, to the devoted religionist of John 3, to the promiscuous woman of John 4, Jesus personally engages each unlikely individual and the results are extraordinary. In this series, Jesus also encounters the alienated man of Luke 8, the despised tax collector of Luke 19, and the humble woman of Mark 14 and reveals their greatest need, which is not for physical healing or stature, but their need for a Savior. Not one individual walks away unchanged by their encounter with Christ. It is a spiritual transformation that Jesus offered to them then and offers to us now. When we have our own encounter with Christ, do we allow him to transform us or do we walk away unchanged?

Who Were the Nicolaitans, and What Was Their Doctrine and Deeds?

Image
But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate. Revelation 2:6 Have you ever wondered who the "Nicolaitans" were, mentioned in the book of Revelation? Whoever they were, Jesus loathed their doctrine and hated their deeds. Let's delve into this subject today to see if we can ascertain the identity of this group. What was their damnable doctrine? What deeds were they committing that elicited such a strong reaction from Jesus? Let's begin in Revelation 2:6, where Jesus told the church of Ephesus, "But this thou hast [in your favor], that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate." Jesus was proud of the church of Ephesus for their "hatred" of the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which He also "hated." The word "hate" is a strong word, so let's see exactly what it means. It comes from the Greek word miseo, which means to hate, to abhor, or to find utterly repulsive. ...

What does it mean to anger a GOD of mercy?

Image
To anger a person who is not easily angered, you have to commit a grievous crime against him or those he loves, and that doesn’t necessarily mean he will react to your foul deed. It only means he has reached a point of anger, thank GOD we have level-headed people in the world, who can forgive us for our mistakes and teach us how to improve.  Man is not known to be easy-going, history shows acts of violence to one another that would turn your stomach, we are all capable of acts of violence against each other and it’s not something new to us, as I said history has shown us. But to anger GOD, what does that mean, a GOD of mercy, compassion, understanding and everlasting sovereignty. How do we do that,  Well this post is not how to, but why we shouldn’t. Matthew 18:6-7 “If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their ...

The Power of Prayer

Image
Jesus Himself told us how to pray. Many people know the Lord’s Prayer by heart, but many times we don’t use it as a pattern for our overall prayer life. During this Bible plan, as we seek God in prayer every day, consider ways to include the ideas in this “how to pray” prayer. Today’s we will start a new devotional and it will focus on prayer and its power to move one’s life in the direction that The Lord intends, we all have dreams and aspirations, we know that GOD has His plans as well, but did you know that in His magnificence there is still room for our tiny little dreams, as long as they don’t go against His plan of divinity there is no such thing The Lord almighty won’t do you. Through prayer we commune with Him and our relationship is stronger for it, GOD never does anything with our purpose, all things are made and move for His divine plans to come to fruition we all know it because at some point He has proven Himself to you, let’s step it a bit by devoting ou...
