Blessings of the Fear of God (1) (audio) David Eells 7/9/25 Psa 111:10 The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom; A good understanding have all they that do his commandments: His praise endureth forever. The fear of the Lord is a teaching that is all over the Bible. We all need a proper reverence and awe of God, which is the beginning of true knowledge and wisdom. Without a proper respect for God's Word, we won't gain true knowledge or wisdom. When we have a holy fear of God, we get understanding, contentment, confidence, blessings, and a desire to walk in obedience to Him. It causes us to desire a right relationship with God. The fear of the Lord is not about being paralyzed by terror, but about a deep respect and submission to the Almighty God, Who is holy, righteous, merciful, but is also the author of all chastening for His children. We also need to know that the wrath of God comes to those who continue in sin and rebellion against Him. The prophets of old show us to have a deep, humble respect for God and His Words. His judgment upon willful sin and His wrath on the wicked in this world should humble us to His will. Knowing of His sovereignty in all things helps us to read the signs of His opinion of man's works. Having a holy fear of the Lord will cause us to stay within His boundaries and make good choices. Let's look at some scriptures today to help us all get a better understanding of the fear of the Lord and what it means. When I began my study of the sovereignty of God, I gained an understanding and then experience of His sovereignty, which has borne much fruit in my life in the area of rest, peace, faith, and respect for Him. It has sharpened my fear of God and removed my fear of man's conspiracies by the devil. It has given me a strong sense of the awesomeness of God. Others have shared similar stories with me. It says in (Dan.4:35) And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing; and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth; and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou? Nobody can push God's hand away and say, “What are you doing?” Nobody can stop Him from doing what He wants to do. This should give us faith, rest, and the fear of God. It is important to God that we know He is sovereign. Without this knowledge, we will not have the peace, rest, and the fear of God that we need in the midst of trials. We will always be wrestling with people and circumstances and trusting in our own strength, instead of seeing God's hand in it and trusting in His strength. Isa 43:13 Yea, since the day was I am he; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who can hinder it? Many have deceptive doctrines that appease their selfish desires such as doctrines of materialistic prosperity rather than bearing our cross, unconditional eternal security so that they may live after the flesh without fear of God's warnings, rapture without sanctification through trial, eternal life without discipleship and holiness, etc. God's people have justified just about anything to appease their flesh such as unscriptural divorces, abortion, drunkenness, drugs, lying, stealing, etc. Peace for the flesh is deception. Satan and his ministers are anxious to tell us what our flesh wants to hear. We are told in 2Co 7:1 Having therefore these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. God would not tell us to do something that we cannot do by faith in Him. He wants us to be sanctified in truth. Let me share a testimony with you.   The Fear of The Lord Anonymous A few months ago, I was looking around online for some books by Watchman Nee and I ran across your website. Being brought up by what I now know to be the apostate church, when I saw “America's Last Days”, that's something you don't want to hear about because it is never taught. I entered the site (sovereignly) and began looking at the Sovereign God book. I read one line that changed my life, doctrine, and everything I had been taught – ‘that God is in control of the evil, as well as the good.' I thought some things just happened and the devil did some things. Right then the fear of God came on me and has not left. Although I have been saved for several years, I never knew what the fear of God was until I experienced it that day. Once saved, always saved, right? Wrong. I knew then that if God had not intervened, I might be in for a surprise, should I have died in that state. God had something better for me. I walk more cautiously before the Lord and want to obey Him; I've seen what He can do. Fear of man and fear of Satan are out of the question compared to what God can do. Thanks for submitting to God and allowing the word of knowledge and wisdom to flow through you. Revelations are keys and He's given us the "Keys of David" (Eells) to unlock the treasures of God. The Name of the Lord is to be feared. When Moses asked God to see His glory Exo 33:18-23 And he said, Show me, I pray thee, thy glory. 19 And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and will proclaim the name of Jehovah before thee; and I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy. 20 And he said, Thou canst not see my face; for man shall not see me and live. 21 and Jehovah said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon the rock: 22 and it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a cleft of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand until I have passed by: 23 and I will take away my hand, and thou shalt see my back; but my face shall not be seen. Exo 34:5-7 And Jehovah descended in the cloud, and stood with him (Moses) there, and proclaimed the name of Jehovah. 6 And Jehovah passed by before him, and proclaimed, Jehovah, Jehovah, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness and truth; 7 keeping lovingkindness for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin; and that will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, upon the third and upon the fourth generation. Meaning the sins of the fathers are inherited through the blood and association by the children. Deu 10:17 For Jehovah your God, he is God of gods, and Lord of lords, the great God, the mighty, and the terrible, who regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward. Psa 47:2 For Jehovah Most High is terrible; He is a great King over all the earth. Psa 99:3 Let them praise thy great and terrible name: Holy is he. Psa 66:3-5 Say unto God, How terrible are thy works! Through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee. 4 All the earth shall worship thee, And shall sing unto thee; They shall sing to thy name. Selah. 5 Come, and see the works of God; He is terrible in his doing toward the children of men. Psa 86:11 Teach me thy way, O Jehovah; I will walk in thy truth: Unite my heart to fear thy name. Psa 102:15 So the nations shall fear the name of Jehovah, And all the kings of the earth thy glory. They saw what God did for Israel at the Red Sea and feared them. Isa 59:19 So shall they fear the name of Jehovah from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun; for he will come as a rushing stream, which the breath of Jehovah driveth. 1Ki 8:41-43 Moreover concerning the foreigner, that is not of thy people Israel, when he shall come out of a far country for thy name's sake 42 (for they shall hear of thy great name, and of thy mighty hand, and of thine outstretched arm); when he shall come and pray toward this house; 43 hear thou in heaven thy dwelling-place, and do according to all that the foreigner calleth to thee for; that all the peoples of the earth may know thy name, to fear thee, as doth thy people Israel, and that they may know that this house which I have built is called by thy name. Luk 1:49-50 For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; And holy is his name. 50 And his mercy is unto generations and generations On them that fear him. Deu 7:21 Thou shalt not be affrighted at them; for Jehovah thy God is in the midst of thee, a great God and a terrible. We need to learn the fear of God so we do not sin. It says in Exo 20:19-20 And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear; but let not God speak with us, lest we die. 20 And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before you, that ye sin not. God gave His people the Commandments and the Law and showed the curse of breaking the law so that they would fear Him. In Deu 31:11 when all Israel is come to appear before Jehovah thy God in the place which he shall choose, thou shalt read this law before all Israel in their hearing. 12 Assemble the people, the men and the women and the little ones, and thy sojourner that is within thy gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear Jehovah your God, and observe to do all the words of this law; 13 and that their children, who have not known, may hear, and learn to fear Jehovah your God, as long as ye live in the land whither ye go over the Jordan to possess it. Deu 6:1-2 Now this is the commandment, the statutes, and the ordinances, which Jehovah your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go over to possess it; 2 that thou mightest fear Jehovah thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged. (The fear of the Lord's commandments prolongs life and prosperity.) Deu 6:13 Thou shalt fear Jehovah thy God; and him shalt thou serve, and shalt swear by his name. 14 Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the peoples that are round about you; 15 for Jehovah thy God in the midst of thee is a jealous God; lest the anger of Jehovah thy God be kindled against thee, and he destroy thee from off the face of the earth. (The “other gods” we are told are demons and they rule over the lusts of the flesh. Those who fear God will not follow their lusts.) Psa 119:9-11 BETH. Wherewith shall a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed thereto according to thy word. 10 With my whole heart have I sought thee: Oh let me not wander from thy commandments. 11 Thy word have I laid up in my heart, That I might not sin against thee. Pro 2:1-8 My son, if thou wilt receive my words, And lay up my commandments with thee; 2 So as to incline thine ear unto wisdom, And apply thy heart to understanding; 3 Yea, if thou cry after discernment, And lift up thy voice for understanding; 4 If thou seek her as silver, And search for her as for hid treasures: 5 Then shalt thou understand the fear of Jehovah, And find the knowledge of God. 6 For Jehovah giveth wisdom; Out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding: 7 He layeth up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a shield to them that walk in integrity; 8 That he may guard the paths of justice, And preserve the way of his saints. (Seeking wisdom and understanding brings the fear of the Lord.) Pro 1:7 The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of knowledge; But the foolish despise wisdom and instruction. Psa 2:11 Serve Jehovah with fear, And rejoice with trembling. Psa 33:8 Let all the earth fear Jehovah: Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him. Psa 34:11 Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of Jehovah. Psa 66:16 Come, and hear, all ye that fear God, And I will declare what he hath done for my soul. Psa 19:9 The fear of Jehovah is clean, enduring forever: The ordinances of Jehovah are true, and righteous altogether Psa 96:9 Oh worship Jehovah in holy array: Tremble before him, all the earth. Psa 99:1 Jehovah reigneth; let the peoples tremble: He sitteth above the cherubim; let the earth be moved. Pro 8:13 The fear of Jehovah is to hate evil: Pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, And the perverse mouth, do I hate. Pro 16:6 By mercy and truth iniquity is atoned for; And by the fear of Jehovah men depart from evil. Pro 1:24-30 Because I have called, and ye have refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man hath regarded; 25 But ye have set at nought all my counsel, And would none of my reproof: 26 I also will laugh in the day of your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; 27 When your fear cometh as a storm, And your calamity cometh on as a whirlwind; When distress and anguish come upon you. 28 Then will they call upon me, but I will not answer; They will seek me diligently, but they shall not find me: 29 For that they hated knowledge, And did not choose the fear of Jehovah: 30 They would none of my counsel; They despised all my reproof. Pro 23:17 Let not thy heart envy sinners; But be thou in the fear of Jehovah all the day long: Job 1:1 There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and turned away from evil. 8-9 And Jehovah said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job? for there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and turneth away from evil. 9 Then Satan answered Jehovah, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought? Scriptural humility is to humble ourselves to the Word and will of God. Do you want to be honored of the Lord, the angels, and man? Humility needs to come first before we can receive the blessings of God, all those great promises we are believing Him for. Pro 15:33 The fear of Jehovah is the instruction of wisdom; And before honor goeth humility. And Pro 22:4 The reward of humility and the fear of Jehovah Is riches, and honor, and life. How many people have lost their lives, spiritual or physical or both, because they didn't humble themselves to God's Word? Isa 66:2 For all these things hath my hand made, and so all these things came to be, saith Jehovah: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and that trembleth at my word. Eph 5:15 Look therefore carefully how ye walk, not as unwise, but as wise; 16 redeeming the time, because the days are evil. 17 Wherefore be ye not foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. (We are told His will is to walk in sanctification) 18 And be not drunken with wine, wherein is riot, but be filled with the Spirit; 19 speaking one to another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord; 20 giving thanks always for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God, even the Father; 21 subjecting yourselves one to another in the fear of Christ. (I.e., Humility to one another.) Blessings come with the fear of God. Isa 33:6 And there shall be stability in thy times, abundance of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge: the fear of Jehovah is thy treasure. Psa 25:12 What man is he that feareth Jehovah? Him shall he instruct in the way that he shall choose. Psa 31:19-20 Oh how great is thy goodness, Which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee, Which thou hast wrought for them that take refuge in thee, Before the sons of men! 20 In the covert of thy presence wilt thou hide them from the plottings of man: Thou wilt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues. Psa 34:9 Oh fear Jehovah, ye his saints; For there is no want to them that fear him. Psa 85:9 Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him, That glory may dwell in our land. Psa 103:11 For as the heavens are high above the earth, So great is his lovingkindness toward them that fear him. 17 But the lovingkindness of Jehovah is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, And his righteousness unto children's children; 18 To such as keep his covenant, And to those that remember his precepts to do them. Psa 112:1-3 Praise ye Jehovah. Blessed is the man that feareth Jehovah, That delighteth greatly in his commandments. 2 His seed shall be mighty upon earth: The generation of the upright shall be blessed. 3 Wealth and riches are in his house; And his righteousness endureth forever. Psa 115:9-13 O Israel, trust thou in Jehovah: He is their help and their shield. 10 O house of Aaron, trust ye in Jehovah: He is their help and their shield. 11 Ye that fear Jehovah, trust in Jehovah: He is their help and their shield. 12 Jehovah hath been mindful of us; he will bless us: He will bless the house of Israel; He will bless the house of Aaron. 13 He will bless them that fear Jehovah, Both small and great. Psa 128:1-6 Blessed is every one that feareth Jehovah, That walketh in his ways. 2 For thou shalt eat the labor of thy hands: Happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee. 3 Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine, In the innermost parts of thy house; Thy children like olive plants, Round about thy table. 4 Behold, thus shall the man be blessed That feareth Jehovah. 5 Jehovah bless thee out of Zion: And see thou the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life. 6 Yea, see thou thy children's children. Peace be upon Israel. Psa 145:18-20 Jehovah is nigh unto all them that call upon him, To all that call upon him in truth. 19 He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him; He also will hear their cry and will save them. 20 Jehovah preserveth all them that love him; But all the wicked will he destroy. Psa 147:11 Jehovah taketh pleasure in them that fear him, In those that hope in his lovingkindness. Pro 10:27 The fear of Jehovah prolongeth days; But the years of the wicked shall be shortened. Pro 19:23 The fear of Jehovah tendeth to life, And he that hath it shall abide satisfied; He shall not be visited with evil. Pro 3:7 Be not wise in thine own eyes; Fear Jehovah, and depart from evil: 8 It will be health to thy navel, And marrow to thy bones. Pro 14:26-27 In the fear of Jehovah is strong confidence; And his children shall have a place of refuge. 27 The fear of Jehovah is a fountain of life, That one may depart from the snares of death. (You can escape death.) Mal 3:16-18 Then they that feared Jehovah spake one with another; and Jehovah hearkened, and heard, and a book of remembrance was written before him, for them that feared Jehovah, and that thought upon his name. 17 And they shall be mine, saith Jehovah of hosts, even mine own possession, in the day that I make; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him. 18 Then shall ye return and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not. Ecc 8:12 Though a sinner do evil a hundred times, and prolong his days, yet surely I know that it shall be well with them that fear God, that fear before him: 13 This is the end of the matter; all hath been heard: Fear God, and keep his commandments; for this is the whole duty of man. Judgment/Wrath of God Throughout the Scriptures, God gathered the nations against His people when they were in apostasy, and it was for the purpose of bringing a crucifixion and death to the old man. God is in absolute control; there's nothing left to chance down here concerning His children. We know the judgments that are coming upon the world will restore the fear of the Lord, and many will depart from evil. They will run to Zion, which is a place of safety, but Zion is a place of holiness, too, a place of separation from the world. When the Man-child comes as the white horse rider in Revelation 6, he will come with the latter rain anointing and the judgments of God. We see Jesus in the Man-child in Isa 11:2-3 And the Spirit of Jehovah shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of Jehovah. 3 And his delight shall be in the fear of Jehovah; and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither decide after the hearing of his ears; Isa 50:10 Who is among you that feareth Jehovah, that obeyeth the voice of his servant? he that walketh in darkness, and hath no light, let him trust in the name of Jehovah, and rely upon his God. Hag 1:12-13 Then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, with all the remnant of the people, obeyed the voice of Jehovah their God, and the words of Haggai the prophet, as Jehovah their God had sent him; and the people did fear before Jehovah. 13 Then spake Haggai Jehovah's messenger in Jehovah's message unto the people, saying, I am with you, saith Jehovah. Isa 8:13 Jehovah of hosts, him shall ye sanctify; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread. Jer 5:21-26 Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; that have eyes, and see not; that have ears, and hear not: 22 Fear ye not me? saith Jehovah: will ye not tremble at my presence, who have placed the sand for the bound of the sea, by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it? and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it. 23 But this people hath a revolting and a rebellious heart; they are revolted and gone. 24 Neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear Jehovah our God, that giveth rain, both the former and the latter, in its season; that preserveth unto us the appointed weeks of the harvest. 25 Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withholden good from you. 26 For among my people are found wicked men: they watch, as fowlers lie in wait; they set a trap, they catch men. Psa 119:120 My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; And I am afraid of thy judgments. Jer 10:10 But Jehovah is the true God; he is the living God, and an everlasting King: at his wrath the earth trembleth, and the nations are not able to abide his indignation. Mic 7:17 They shall lick the dust like a serpent; like crawling things of the earth they shall come trembling out of their close places; they shall come with fear unto Jehovah our God, and shall be afraid because of thee. Mal 1:6 A son honoreth his father, and a servant his master: if then I am a father, where is mine honor? and if I am a master, where is my fear? saith Jehovah of hosts unto you, O priests, that despise my name. And ye say, Wherein have we despised thy name? 6 For I, Jehovah, change not; therefore ye, O sons of Jacob, are not consumed. Psa 76:6 At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, Both chariot and horse are cast into a deep sleep. 7 Thou, even thou, art to be feared; And who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry? 8 Thou didst cause sentence to be heard from heaven; The earth feared, and was still, 9 When God arose to judgment, To save all the meek of the earth. Selah. 10 Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: The residue of wrath shalt thou gird upon thee. 11 Vow, and pay unto Jehovah your God: Let all that are round about him bring presents unto him that ought to be feared. 12 He will cut off the spirit of princes: He is terrible to the kings of the earth. Mat 10:28 And be not afraid of them that kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Heb 10:30 For we know him that said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense. And again, The Lord shall judge his people. 31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. Dan 6:26 I make a decree, that in all the dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel; for he is the living God, and stedfast forever, And his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed; and his dominion shall be even unto the end. Heb 12:28 Wherefore, receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us have grace, whereby we may offer service well-pleasing to God with reverence and awe: 29 for our God is a consuming fire. Paul's instruction to Timothy in 1Ti 5:20 Them that sin reprove in the sight of all, that the rest also may be in fear. And our example of how fear came on everyone in Act 5:1 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, 2 and kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles' feet. 3 But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thy heart to lie to the Holy Spirit, and to keep back part of the price of the land? 4 While it remained, did it not remain thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thy power? How is it that thou hast conceived this thing in thy heart? thou has not lied unto men, but unto God. Act 5:5 And Ananias hearing these words fell down and gave up the ghost: and great fear came upon all that heard it. 6 And the young men arose and wrapped him round, and they carried him out and buried him. 7 And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in. 8 And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much. And she said, Yea, for so much. 9 But Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to try the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them that have buried thy husband are at the door, and they shall carry thee out. 10 And she fell down immediately at his feet, and gave up the ghost: and the young men came in and found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her by her husband. 11 And great fear came upon the whole church, and upon all that heard these things. Rom 13:1-4 Let every soul be in subjection to the higher powers: for there is no power but of God; and the powers that be are ordained of God. 2 Therefore he that resisteth the power, withstandeth the ordinance of God: and they that withstand shall receive to themselves judgment. 3 For rulers are not a terror to the good work, but to the evil. And wouldest thou have no fear of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise from the same: 4 for he is a minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is a minister of God, an avenger for wrath to him that doeth evil. 1Pe 2:17 Honor all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king. Rom 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hinder the truth in unrighteousness; Rom 12:19 Avenge not yourselves, beloved, but give place unto the wrath of God: for it is written, Vengeance belongeth unto me; I will recompense, saith the Lord. Rev 6:15-17 And the kings of the earth, and the princes, and the chief captains, and the rich, and the strong, and every bondman and freeman, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains; 16 and they say to the mountains and to the rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: 17 for the great day of their wrath is come; and who is able to stand? Rev 14:6-7 And I saw another angel flying in mid heaven, having eternal good tidings to proclaim unto them that dwell on the earth, and unto every nation and tribe and tongue and people; and he saith with a great voice, Fear God, and give him glory; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made the heaven and the earth and sea and fountains of waters. Rev 14:10 he also shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is prepared unmixed in the cup of his anger; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: 19 And the angel cast his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vintage of the earth, and cast it into the winepress, the great winepress, of the wrath of God. Rev 15:1 And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvelous, seven angels having seven plagues, which are the last, for in them is finished the wrath of God. 7 And one of the four living creatures gave unto the seven angels seven golden bowls full of the wrath of God, who liveth for ever and ever. Rev 16:1 And I heard a great voice out of the temple, saying to the seven angels, Go ye, and pour out the seven bowls of the wrath of God into the earth. Rev 19:15 And out of his mouth proceedeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness of the wrath of God, the Almighty.   Truth Poured Forth from My Anointed Is Bringing the Dead to Life Debbie Fenske 6/29/23 I want to share a word Jesus shared with me early this morning as I was sitting before Him, praying, and just waiting on Him. I heard Him speak a couple of thoughts to me. After writing down the second thought, Jesus just kept speaking this encouraging word. “Many, so many who have, in the past, been a part of UBM, are beginning now to understand the evil, and the dangers of faction. The truth that they are receiving from Me is instilling a holy fear within them. This is why I rise up in David, My servant, moving within him to keep talking and warning about this. It has been imperative for him to do so, for faction is a disease killing many. So many who have not understood this are now finally listening, and repenting, and many will return to My ministry of UBM to receive truth once again. For they are aware of the great deadness of their spiritual womb. My truth, and a holy fear of Me will produce life in them once again.” “My servant, David, must not stop speaking about these things, for I will have My way, which is revealing to all I have chosen, the true condition of their hearts. My truth will break out again like a wildfire through the mouth of My servant, for My anointing will not leave him. And My anointed chosen will soon be revealed, and many, many blind eyes will be opened, and the deaf ears will hear. Hearts will be healed, and they will rush under the presence of My anointing, and will grow, and will with much Joy, and spiritual vigor, produce much fruit which will come forth from My life within them.” “My provision, in every way, will flow once again. Press in, and I will give abundant blessings. Receive them now, as you press into Me, that I may make them manifest to you. For My Spirit is moving, stirring hearts to come back to Me, and My anointing. They are coming back to the truth. Trust Me, and wait on Me, and you will see, soon, the outpouring of My Spirit, and My great supply of provision for my people, as the unleavened bread continues to go forth from My anointed, and spoken forth from all who have received, and believe, and are walking the unleavened walk.” “The time is set for My Life received to pour forth from you, a flowing stream of Life. Remain faithful, humble, and pure. I have not, and will not fail of any of My good promises to My unleavened bread ministry.” Before I got on the Zoom meeting this morning, I prayed that God would somehow, someway, confirm this word. And I believe that He did that through some verses that were shared this morning. Deb Horton's scripture she shared was Jeremiah 32:6-15. The confirming verse is the second part of verse 8. “Then I knew that this was the word of the Lord.” I also felt confirmation was received in verse 15 of her scripture verses. “For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel. Houses, and fields, and vineyards will again be bought in this land.” Shay shared Philippians 4:19-23. Verses 19-20: “And my God will supply all your needs, according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. 20 Now to our God, and Father glory forever and ever. Amen.” Amen! Yes, Lord. All glory belongs to You! Thank You, faithful Father, for delivering and rescuing those who You will from the evil faction, and opening the eyes of those who just could not see to receive the awful truth about faction, and so gave up and set aside Your truth. Thank You for Your blessings now, and those You are about to abundantly bestow upon UBM, and for Your faithfulness to all, all over the world, who are faithful to You in giving out the unleavened truth of Your Word. Amen!

Have you ever felt like you had to earn your worth—your place, your purpose, even your salvation? This message from Ephesians 2 is a reminder that you don't have to earn what God gives freely. We look at the story of Watchman Nee, who gave his life for the gospel, and how God's grace made him—and makes us—alive, raised up, and seated with Christ. In a world that rewards performance, God offers grace first. No proving. No striving. Just receiving. And then He invites us into a life of good work—not to get saved, but because we are saved. If you've been struggling to believe you're enough or wondering what your purpose is, this message is for you.

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank shares the impact of how one man can have upon a culture, noting the examples of the influence Confucius and Watchman Nee had upon China and the West.Hank answers the following questions:If the mark of the Beast is a parody of the mark of the Lamb, how do we explain the inability to buy or sell in Revelation 13:17? Roger - Modesto, CA (6:03)Does Isaiah 53:2 teach that Christ's physical appearance is homely and unattractive? Clark - Kerrville, TX (15:46)When we have our new bodies in the new earth, will the law of entropy be repealed so that things will not wear out? Debra - New Haven, MO (19:16)Do you believe that those who go to hell will consciously suffer for eternity? Is the morality of laws on Earth different than God's morality? Tim - Calgary, AB (21:55)

In this episode I reference Watchman Nee's book, “Spiritual Authority.”

Send us a textRomeine 8:26-27 Die Gees staan ons ook in ons swakheid by: ons weet nie wat en hoe ons behoort te bid nie, maar die Gees self pleit vir ons met versugtinge wat nie met woorde gesê word nie. En God, wat die harte deurgrond, weet wat die bedoeling van die Gees is, want Hy pleit, volgens die wil van God, vir die gelowiges. Navorsing toon dat ten minste 'n miljard mense tydens die afgelope maand wêreldwyd gebid het. Nouja, die statistieke vertel ons nie vir wie hulle gebid het, of waaroor hulle gebid het nie, bloot dát hulle inderdaad gebid het.Die Pew Research Centre berig dat 55% van Amerikaanse volwassenes in die afgelope 30 dae gebid het. In die Verenigde Koninkryk het byna die helfte van die bevolking ten minste een keer in hul lewe gebid en 28% van hulle het gedurende die afgelope maand gebid. In China beskou net sowat 16% van mense hulself as "godsdienstig" (wat dit ook al beteken), maar 16% van 1,4 miljard is steeds meer as tweehonderd-en-vyftig miljoen mense!Jy verstaan seker waarheen ek op pad is: So, as jy tydens die afgelope 30 dae gebid het, is jy nie die enigste een in hierdie wêreld nie.En weet jy, al wil ons dit nie erken nie, word gebed so dikwels afgeskeep wanneer dinge swaar begin gaan. Baie van die groot helde van die Christelike geloof – Martin Luther, Charles Spurgeon, Moeder Theresa, C.S. Lewis, Watchman Nee – het geskryf van tye van geestelike droogte; tye toe hulle gevoel het dat God hulle verlaat het; tye wat hulle gesukkel het om te bid.So dink jy dat God dit nie weet nie? Natuurlik weet Hy. Hy ken ons swaarkry en ons beperkings …Romeine 8:26-27 Die Gees staan ons ook in ons swakheid by: ons weet nie wat en hoe ons behoort te bid nie, maar die Gees self pleit vir ons met versugtinge wat nie met woorde gesê word nie. En God, wat die harte deurgrond, weet wat die bedoeling van die Gees is, want Hy pleit, volgens die wil van God, vir die gelowiges.So, die volgende keer wanneer jy sukkel om te bid, onthou, jy is in goeie geselskap.

Series: Signs & GloryTitle: “What Difference Does the Resurrection Make?"Scripture: John 11:25-26John 20:19-22Bottom line: The resurrection gives us power for today and hope for tomorrow.INTRODUCTIONCONTEXTSERMON OUTLINECONCLUSIONNOTESOUTLINESQUESTIONS TO CONSIDER DISCUSSION QUESTIONSMAIN REFERENCES USEDOpening prayer: Lord God, help us grow to be and do like Jesus, while abiding in him and leading others to do the same. INTRODUCTIONHow to Pray with Power by Nicky Gumbel"I received a call from someone in our church. He wanted me to go and pray for his wife who had suddenly been admitted to hospital for an operation. As it happened, I myself had an appointment nearby to have an injection in my shoulder. I'd had a ‘frozen shoulder' for almost two years. However, in the previous couple of days, it had suddenly got better. I explained what had happened to the consultant. He looked at me and said, ‘It's a miracle!' I said, ‘Don't frozen shoulders suddenly get better?' Over and over again, he repeated, ‘No, it is a miracle.' Here was a secular doctor trying to persuade a rather faithless pastor that what had happened could only be explained by the supernatural power of God!I thanked him very much for raising my faith, as I was about to go and pray in the hospital. As I walked through the corridors, I passed a hospital porter who was singing (quite loudly!), ‘Lay your hands on the sick and they will be healed.' I said, ‘That is exactly what I am about to go and do.' He looked deeply shocked and surprised. He obviously didn't think I looked like the sort of person who could possibly believe that!I went upstairs to pray for the woman and explained why my faith was riding high. She then said she had been reading James 5 (our passage for today), which says, ‘Is any one of you sick? Call the elders of the church to pray over you… And the prayer offered in faith will make you well' (James 5:14–15). By now the Lord had given (even me!) enough signs to pray in faith. The Holy Spirit came upon her with great power. She was not immediately healed (although she is better now), but it gave me a greater understanding of ‘the prayer of faith'.Watchman Nee wrote, ‘Our prayers lay the track down which God's power can come. Like a mighty locomotive, his power is irresistible, but it cannot reach us without rails.'"Bible in One Year 2020 With Nicky Gumbel: Day 325 • DevotionalBottom line: The resurrection gives us power for today and hope for tomorrow.“What Difference Does the Resurrection Make?”Answer: It gives us power for today and hope for forever. Big Idea: The resurrection of Jesus isn't just a belief—it's power for your real life. First, Jesus reveals himself further to his disciples by announcing that he is the resurrection and the life.I. "I am the resurrection and the life" - Jesus says he's life; his power is unstoppableJesus isn't just alive--he's life itself.Death is only defeated by life.Second, Jesus appears in his resurrection body to the cowering disciples following his resurrection. He gives them his personal presence to overcome their fear, peace in the midst of chaos, their mission as the broken to the broken, and His Holy Spirit and resurrection power over darkness and evil.1. Jesus shows up helping them overcome their fear. (John 20:19)“The doors were locked where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews.”Context: The disciples were terrified—Jesus was dead, they were next.But then: Jesus enters locked rooms. Resurrection power doesn't need your permission—it comes through fear.Application:Where are you hiding? What fear is keeping you locked up?If Jesus can enter that room, He can enter yours—your anxiety, your regret, your trauma.2. Jesus Gives Peace in the midst of chaos. (John 20:19, 21)“Jesus said to them, ‘Peace be with you.'”He doesn't say “Everything's fine.” He says, “I'm here.”Peace is not the absence of trouble—it's the presence of Jesus.Application:What if peace isn't about getting out of your situation, but inviting Jesus into it?Resurrection means your circumstances don't get the last word.3. Jesus restores their mission as the broken to the broken. (John 20:21)“As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you.”These are the same guys who abandoned Him—but He still calls them.The resurrection doesn't just restore life—it restores calling.Application:Have you disqualified yourself in your own mind?Jesus doesn't just forgive your past—He commissions your future.4. Jesus Gives You His Spirit and resurrection power over darkness and evil. (John 20:22)“He breathed on them and said, ‘Receive the Holy Spirit.'”The same breath that filled Adam with life in Genesis now fills disciples with resurrection power.Application:This isn't about trying harder to live better. It's about receiving the life only He can give.The Holy Spirit is resurrection applied—personal, powerful, present.Conclusion: “Do You Believe This?” (John 11:26)Back to John 11, Jesus asks Martha, "Do you believe this?"Jesus asked Martha that question before He raised Lazarus.He's asking you the same question today.Bottom line: The resurrection gives us power for today and hope for tomorrow.In September 2019 I was in a coaching cohort led by pastor and author Mike Breen. He was challenging us to imitate Peter's last healing (Acts) where he said, "Jesus heals you." (Instead of seeing himself as the healer)In preparation for that day's cohort, I wrote the following things I think would change in my life if I lived as if the sky had opened up and the resurrection power of God was available to me like it was to Jesus:I'd teach and preach with more authority given to me by Jesus MessiahI'd rely more on the Holy Spirit believing that he connects me with heaven.I'd be more likely to pray for healing over anyone—even a stranger. I'd be more evangelistically bold. I would assume that God will be putting opportunities in front of me over and over again to lead people to Christ. I would spend more extended time in prayer early in the morning/late at night.I would take more mini-retreats.I would gather with the saints for prayer more often and less formally.I'd fast and pray more.I would find myself more in the harvest than I am. Away from the church building and amongst the people. Especially needy people. The least, last and lost.I would be less concerned with the things of this world. I would live simply and not pursue trivial pursuits.I would be more about making disciples and less about building the church (though in making disciples I will build the Church).I would be more kingdom-minded. I'd constantly be looking for people of peace.I'd live fearlessly.I'd walk in truth, wisdom and love.I'd have a spirit of power, love and self-control. (2 Tim 1:7)I'd see suffering as an opportunity to fellowship more deeply with Christ instead of the pain that it is.What about you?Peter puts it all in perspective in his first sermon:““Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah.” When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?” Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call.”” ‭‭Acts‬ ‭2‬:‭36‬-‭39‬ ‭NIV‬‬InvitationHow do we respond? Answer 2 questions:Take out a card or piece of paper right now. Write down the answer to these questions: What is God saying to me right now?What am I going to do about it? Write this down on a sheet of paper. What I hear you saying, Lord, is ___________________.[my name] is going to believe/do __________________________________________________ as a result.Finally, share this with your Home or Mission group this week when you gather as a testimony about what God is doing in your life. You don't have to get too specific to give him praise.Lord's Supper, 1 Cor 11:23-26 is good passage.Also, say something like, "Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again." (past, present, and future)PrayNOTES"Imitating Peter," Sept 2019, MMQB I wroteMike Breen asked us to consider the following in preparation for our huddle tomorrow. Here are my thoughts…Mike points to Peter's last healing in scripture in Acts where he says, “Jesus heals you.”In Mark 15:33- we see the curtain in the temple torn from top to bottom after Jesus dies on the cross. This rending is symbolic of our new, unfettered access to heaven and God. An access that Jesus enjoyed while walking among us.Jesus had direct access to heaven. If not before, he received it at his baptism when the Holy Spirit descended on him like a dove. (Mark 1:11) There the “sky is torn” demonstrating an opening of access to Jesus that ushered in his earthly and amazing public ministry culminating in the cross and resurrection.Jesus lived under this open heaven enjoying a supernatural connection to God through his Holy Spirit. This rending of the curtain signified a breaking away from the Old Testament. A New Testament is at hand.So our access is now open to heaven as well. We now seem to have the same access that Jesus had while on earth. Is this what Peter is trying to say through Mark in his gospel, Mike Breen asks?Jesus removes the barrier of the sky and curtain between us and heaven. Therefore, what Jesus experienced uniquely is generally available. Peter is explaining what Jesus' practice is all about through Mark's gospel, he thinks.This reminded me of Mark 2 and the paralytic. “Which is easier to say…”Mike can't leave the question unanswered why does Peter's last healing does he say, “Jesus Christ heals you”?Here's Mike's sermon question he's going to preach soon (Luke 3 message at Apex):“What would it be like if we left today with the actual belief that heaven is open above you and the Holy Spirit is continuously connecting to you?”So our homework is to wrestle with my ministry practice and teaching and ask what would it look like (my practice and teaching) if I started functioning like Peter was doing? I.e. Imitating Peter in Mark and ActsSo I need to re-read Mark and Acts 1-8. At first blush, I think I would say the following:I'd teach and preach with more authority given to me by Jesus MessiahI'd rely more on the Holy Spirit believing that he connects me with heaven.I'd be more likely to pray for healing over anyone—even a stranger. I'd be more evangelistically bold. I would assume that God will be putting opportunities in front of me over and over again to lead people to Christ. I would spend more extended time in prayer early in the morning/late at night.I would take more mini-retreats.I would gather with the saints for prayer more often and less formally.I'd fast and pray more.I would find myself more in the harvest than I am.

Dette er fjerde og siste del av taleserien om Kampen. Heather taler om beskyttelsen vi har i Gud utifra bibelteksten i Efserbrevet 6,10-18. Spørsmål til samtale Hva sitter du igjen med etter å ha hørt talen og lest bibelteksten i Efserbrevet 6,10-18. Watchman Nee sier i sin bok Sit,WalkStand: ' When you fight to GET the victory, then you have lost the battle at the very outset'. Norsk oversettelse: "Når du kjemper for å vinne seieren, så har du i utgangspunktet tapt kampen." Hvorfor er det sånn? I Efeserne 6 er åndens sverd det eneste offensive våpenet. Hvordan ser offensiv krigføring ut? På hvilken måter kan vi hjelpe hverandre til å stå i mot den onde i angrepstidene? Hvilke deler av rustningen synes du er mest utfordrende å ta på/ ta opp? Hvorfor tror du det er sånn?

“He who walks with wise men will be wise, But the companionof fools will be destroyed.” Today we are in between the chapters of Luke 10 and Luke11. I felt very impressed to take the time to tie them together with a personalspiritual discipline that has really helped me to take time to “sit at the feetof Jesus” on a daily basis over the many years of our ministry. In my very first year as a follower of Jesus, I wasprivileged to attend Lynchburg Baptist College, a brand-new Christian BibleCollege in Lynchburg Virginia that was co-founded by Dr. Jerry Falwell and Dr. ElmerTowns. It was there that I was introduced to Christian Devotional Books that wouldgreatly influence my life and ministry and give me a firm foundation to standon over the years. As a young believer I committed to reading five Psalms aday and one Proverbs that would take me through both books each month. InProverbs 13:20, I saw the great truth of “walking with wise men” that wouldkeep me from being destroyed by the devil and his fools. I asked the question, “Howcan I walk with wise men when they don't have the time to spend with a collegestudent or young pastor?” Of course, in those early years at LibertyUniversity, because there was only a handful of students, I was privileged toget to know wise men like Dr. Falwell, Dr. Towns, Dr. Hindson, Dr. Wilmington,Dr. Chapman, Dr. Dobson and many other wonderful professors on a personal andfirst name basis, but that didn't mean they had time to “walk with me” everyday and impart their wisdom into my life. But it was there that I'll never forget Dr. Falwell, inthose very first days of the college in chapel services, introducing us toChristian leaders and writer from the past. The first one I remember himmentioning was Watchman Nee and his book called “The Normal Christian Life”. Hetold how much it had influenced his life. The next one was Andrew Murray andhis book, “With Christ in the School of Prayer”.  Another author and great pastor from the pastthat He often mentioned was Charles Spurgeon. One of my professors actuallystarted each class session by reading the day's devotion from “My Utmost forHis Highest” by Oswald Chambers. It was then that I realized that these great Christian leadersand authors from the past left their wisdom and their lives in their writings.So I began the daily discipline, of not only reading the Psalms and Proverbs,memorizing verses that spoke to my heart, and reading systematically throughthe entire Bible, but also spending time with these “wise men” of pastcenturies. So today, I want to list some of the “wise men” and their dailydevotional books that you can easily find somewhere on sale on the internet.These are books that I really believe have imparted to me a greater love and knowledgeof our great God and Redeemer Jesus Christ and the ministry of the Holy Spirit. Watchman Nee –  Book:“The Normal Christian Life”; Devotionals: “The Joyful Heart” and “Table in theWilderness”.Charles Spurgeon – Devotionals: “Morning and Evening” and “Faith'sCheck Book”Andrew Murray – Books: “With Christ in the School of Prayer”and “Absolute Surrender”; “Humility”Devotionals: “Daily Thoughts on Holiness” and “God's BestSecrets”Oswald Chambers – Devotionals: “My Utmost for His Highest”and “Daily Thoughts for Disciples”Henry Blackaby – Devotional: “Experiencing God Day by Day”E. M. Bounds – One Minute Devotional: “The Power of Prayer”Elmer Towns – Devotional: “365 Ways to Know God”A. W. Tozer – Devotional: “Renewed Day by Day”Of course, this is not a complete list, but I trust it willencourage you to spend time with some “wise men” too. If we are not careful with all the television media and socialmedia that we are exposed to everyday, we can end up “becoming a companion offools” and it is no wonder that so many lives are being destroyed. God bless!

In Christ, we have everything! Continuing in Watchman Nee's Messenger of the Cross, Nancy challenges us to embrace the life we now live IN CHRIST. Everything has been done in Him! “It is not drawing out of Christ something to nourish us, but entering into Christ so as to allow what is already in him to flow in us.' - Watchman Nee if the foundation is not Him exclusively Him, we're going to get off trajectory. Will we allow Him to bring us back in Christ? Here we go! Thanks for Listening! I hope that after listening to The Tent Talk Podcast, you'll want to start discussions with your team or small group.

“God's goal is not to make evil people good. It is to make dead people alive.” It's time to buckle your seat belts! In this provoking episode of Tent Talk Podcast, Nancy McCready brings us back to the center – His name is Jesus. According to Romans 5, we were born sinners not because of our actions, but because we were 'in Adam.' The way of salvation was not in God making us good, but in His saving us out of Adam and putting us in Christ. Now all which is of Christ flows into us. Instead of begging God to change us, let's focus on what He's already accomplished in Christ. It's not about what God will do in us, but what He has done IN CHRIST. Are you ready to stop trying to get something from God, but allow Him to bring maturity and development to you? Here we go! Thanks for Listening!

Watchman Nee wrote,  “Spiritual advancement is measured by faithful obedience.” As we start the new year, join us as Pastor Ray shares a message on how we can live faithfully for God in 2025.

En la emisión anterior vimos cómo interactúan el cuerpo, el alma y el espíritu del hombre natural. Ahora hablaremos de esta misma interacción en el segundo grupo de personas mencionado por Pablo en 1 Corintios 2:14-3:4: los cristianos carnales. Un cristiano carnal es aquel quien ha nacido de nuevo del Espíritu Santo, tiene la vida de Dios, y su espíritu ha sido vivificado. Sin embargo, este cristiano, en su ignorancia y rebeldía, aún continúa dejándose llevar por las pasiones de su cuerpo y de su alma que lo conducen de regreso al pecado.Puede encontrar el artículo de esta emisión en el siguiente link: https://lasagradapalabra.org/el-alma-y-el-espiritu-del-cristiano-carnal-5Que Dios los bendiga

En la emisión anterior vimos lo que caracterizaba a los cristianos carnales que son nuevos en la fe, quienes aún se encuentran controlados por los deseos de su “cuerpo”. Ahora hablaremos de cristianos que han progresado en su crecimiento espiritual, pero que todavía están dominados por su alma. Es cuando el creyente continúa guiándose según su propio entendimiento. Veremos ejemplo de esto en las Escrituras, y de sus respectivas consecuencias. Puede encontrar el artículo de esta emisión en el siguiente link:https://lasagradapalabra.org/cristianos-carnales-dominados-por-el-alma-6Que Dios los bendiga.

Watchman Nee wrote, “I need forgiveness for my sins, but I need also deliverance from the power of sin... I appreciate the blessed fact of God's forgiveness, but I want something more than that: I want deliverance. I need forgiveness for what I have done, but I need also deliverance from what I am.”Pastor Ray continues his series, The Story of Jesus with a message titled “Of Pigs and People.” 

En la emisión anterior, vimos las funciones de nuestro espíritu. Ahora hablaremos de cómo interactúan el cuerpo, el alma y el espíritu dentro de los 3 diferentes grupos de personas clasificados por Pablo en 1 Corintios 2:14-3:4: el hombre natural, el cristiano carnal y el cristiano espiritual. En este estudio, primero nos enfocaremos en la interacción del cuerpo, alma y espíritu en el hombre natural. Veremos cómo un balance incorrecto entre estas partes de nuestro ser, afecta el caminar de las personas en su crecimiento espiritual. En artículos posteriores, con el favor de Dios, hablaremos de estas interacciones en cristianos carnales y en cristianos espirituales.Puede encontrar el artículo de esta emisión en el siguiente link:https://lasagradapalabra.org/el-alma-y-el-espiritu-del-hombre-natural-4Que Dios los bendiga

In this conversation, Jordon Baker shares his journey from being an associate pastor to engaging in disciple making movements. He discusses the natural progression of his ministry and the importance of prayer and community in fulfilling the Great Commission. Jordon emphasizes the need for flexibility in disciple making, the significance of abiding in Jesus, and the value of collaboration with other ministries who do church differently than us. He also highlights the global initiative of 10 Days of Prayer and the integration of prayer with disciple making efforts.

The Book of Ephesians was summed up by author Watchman Nee this way in his book by the same title: "Sit, Walk, Stand." On this final Sunday in our series on Ephesians, Pastor Chris used that phrase to recap Paul's letter. The teaching ended with a look at what Paul's admonition to "put on the armor of God" might ultimately mean.

En nuestra emisión anterior vimos la primera función del espíritu: la conciencia, basándonos en los estudios bíblicos del evangelista Watchman Nee, de su libro El Hombre Espiritual. Ahora hablaremos de las otras dos funciones del espíritu: la intuición y la comunión con Dios. Hoy en día, podemos observar que muchos cristianos no aprovechan estas formas de comunicación con Dios, necesarias para su crecimiento espiritual. Esperamos que este estudio le ayude a entender mejor cómo funcionan, y así acelere su crecimiento espiritual para estar más cerca del ETERNO.Puede encontrar el artículo de esta emisión en el siguiente link:https://lasagradapalabra.org/la-diferencia-entre-el-alma-y-el-espiritu-p3Que Dios los bendiga.

Sabemos según las Escrituras, que estamos compuestos por cuerpo, alma y espíritu. El cuerpo es fácil identificarlo, pero puede resultar más difícil diferenciar al alma del espíritu. En este estudio veremos la tremenda importancia que tiene para los creyentes, el que nos quede muy clara esta diferencia, porque el no saberlo, tiene serias repercusiones en nuestro crecimiento espiritual y nuestro caminar con el SEÑOR. Confiamos que la información que le presentaremos aquí, le será de gran utilidad para dejar de ser un cristiano carnal y convertirse en un creyente espiritual. Puede leer el artículo de esta emisión en el siguiente link:https://lasagradapalabra.org/la-diferencia-entre-el-alma-y-el-espiritu-p1Que Dios los bendiga

In this insightful work, Zacharias Tanee Fomum, drawing from a profound understanding of the Bible and a lifetime dedicated to the Lord's service, delves into three critical themes: The Challenge of Denominational Systems: Fomum dissects the issues inherent in denominational structures, providing thought-provoking insights that challenge conventional perspectives. Fellowship in the Body of Christ: Exploring the concept of one universal Body of Christ, Fomum quotes Watchman Nee, who believed that this body encompasses members found within denominational systems. The pivotal question of which church to align with is thoughtfully addressed. The Local Church: Fomum examines the relationship between God's Universal Church and local churches, scrutinizing their establishment, membership, fellowship, functioning, and leadership. The book offers a comprehensive understanding of the roles of elders, deacons, apostles, and others within the church. This book is a guiding light for anyone who has pondered the nature of the Body of Christ and the multitude of churches in existence today. We earnestly encourage every Christian to delve into these pages. May the Lord grant you a profound vision of His Body and lead you into deep fellowship with Him and His people.
