According to Hebrews 1:1-2, in Old Testament times God spoke to His people through the prophets. In New Testament times God spoke to His people through His son, Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Upon Jesus’ return to the right hand of God, He promised to pour out the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:33). The promise of the Father is that the Holy…
After we receive Jesus, there are two things we need to become knowledgeable of: 1) how to use our faith, and 2) the Holy Spirit. Since we celebrate Pentecost next Sunday, I want to focus on the Holy Spirit. We need to understand who the Holy Spirit is, the work of the Holy Spirit, how the Holy Spirit leads us,…
Most Christians know the story of Easter by rote, but for many the full reality of it has not entered into their hearts. They have little revelation about Jesus Christ and His work on the cross. Without revelation in our hearts we end up with a sterile religion, empty of any power to change us on the inside or enable…
The morning after our son died I awoke from my sleep praying in an unknown language. Suddenly English words flowed through my mind and I knew it was God speaking to me: “You can say David died, but I want you to know that my own never die. I came and took him; I always come and take my own. Don’t…
Hello Friends, This Sunday on Radio Horeb in Europe I am speaking on the theme, “Seek the Kingdom of God.” Jesus tells us to seek first for the kingdom, but many Christian people have no idea of what the kingdom is or how to seek it. Some think it means heaven, others think it refers to their church, and others…
The following is from a recording of my talk to Women’s Aglow, Lexington, MA, 1980, just after burying our teenage son: It is good to be home with you. I want you to know that our God is a God of victory. Our God reigns today! Even though we walk through the valley of the shadow of death we need…
When I was a kid, I believed all the Bible stories. The characters were real people, they heard from God, their world—and eventually, indirectly, mine—was changed, things happened in the spiritual dimension. But that was then; God functions quite differently in the 20th century, according to the King James Bible (Scofield’s notes said so, and they were right up there…
One bright autumn morning I needed to take our son for his weekly oncology visit, but our family sedan wouldn’t start. When I turned the key, all I heard was a click. I started to react and feel sorry for myself: Here I am alone, with a tremendous responsibility on my shoulders. My husband couldn’t help me—he was on a…
Over twenty-five years ago God called me to open the eyes of the blind so “they may turn from darkness to light and from the dominion of Satan to God…” (Acts 26:18). In the years since, I understood that I am a light to many in the midst of darkness. A Romanian woman once said to me, “Your visit will…
In earlier blogs I describe some “God” moments that I’ve seen in the lives of people. I want you to know that in all these divine encounters, I didn’t do very much. I simply share my experiences with the living God. I never discuss theology, doctrine, scriptures, or church affiliation; some I never even pray with. Yet, as they listen,…
