The Bible does not specifically give this information. However, for the natural man, God has associated Himself with a northerly direction. Consider Psalm 75:6,7 , "Promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south, but God is the Judge. He putteth down one, and setteth up another." Following this reasoning, [...]
A person's self-discovery may be different from God's direction. We walk with God by praying for opportunities of service. If you are sincere and humble, the Lord will open your eyes to the needs of others. Daily, we will begin to see ways to aid others, both spiritually and naturally. Most of the time, we help in small ways. We offer a warm smile [...]
First, we need to examine our hearts. Have we completely given up our wills with all of our human hopes, desires, dreams, and ambitions to God? Have we consecrated our lives to do His will? “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable [...]
The birthright belonged naturally to the eldest son of a family. In the case of Isaac, the father of Jacob and Esau, it included not only personal possessions, but also the covenant blessing that God promised to Abraham (Genesis 12:3) and passed on to Isaac. The Abrahamic Covenant was to be transmitted to Isaac’s son. [...]
Revelation is a book of symbols. For hundreds of years, God has hidden their symbolic meaning until it becomes time for them to be understood. To appreciate the book of Revelation, a good foundational understanding of the Old Testament is necessary. Romans 15:4 (CSB), “For whatever was written in the past was written for our [...]
Many today believe that the dead are not dead, but are really more alive than ever. They do not realize that they are believing the original lie taught by the Serpent, “that you will not die, but you will be like God” Genesis 3:4-5. Satan uses scriptural parables and dark sayings, taken out of context, [...]
The nation of Israel received the Law Covenant fifty days after the Passover in Egypt. Thus, historically, Pentecost (meaning 50) was very important. However, Pentecost in the New Testament is even more significant. At 30 years of age, Jesus became Christ (meaning Anointed) when He was anointed with the holy Spirit at His baptism. [...]
No. Dead people are really dead. The vision that the woman medium saw and spoke with was not the prophet Samuel. It was a demon pretending to be Samuel. Remember, a few years earlier, Samuel had said to Saul, “The LORD has torn the kingdom of Israel from you today and has given it to [...]
King Solomon, while dedicating the Temple, considered the greatness of God. 1 Kings 8:27, “But will God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain You. How much less this temple which I have built!” God’s greatness is beyond our comprehension. Isaiah 55: 8, 9 “For my thoughts are [...]
1 Corinthians 14:32-36 (NLT) 32 Remember that people who prophesy are in control of their spirit and can take turns. 33 For God is not a God of disorder but of peace, as in all the meetings of God’s holy people. 34 Women should be silent during the church meetings. It is not proper for [...]
