KNOW THIS! But the saints of the Most High shall receive the kingdom and possess the kingdom forever, forever and ever. —Daniel 7:18 As I looked, this horn made war with the saints and prevailed over them, until the Ancient of Days came, and judgment was given for the saints of the Most High, and the time came when the saints possessed the kingdom. —Daniel 7:21-22 As for the ten horns, out of this kingdom ten kings shall arise, and another shall arise after them; he shall be different from the former ones, and shall put down three kings. He shall speak words against the Most High, and shall wear out the…

ONLY ONE SOVEREIGN! I make a decree, that in all my royal dominion people are to tremble and fear before the God of Daniel, for he is the living God, enduring forever; his kingdom shall never be destroyed, and his dominion shall be to the end. He delivers and rescues; he works signs and wonders in heaven and on earth, he who has saved Daniel from the power of the lions.” —Daniel 6:26-27             There were those who hated Daniel because of the king desiring to promote him to a high leadership position.  Daniel was distinguished above all the other presidents and satraps and King Darius planned to set him over…

 FALL OF THE POWERFUL — PRIDE Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered and said to the king, “O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter. If this be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of your hand, O king.  But if not, be it known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the golden image that you have set up.” Then Nebuchadnezzar was filled with fury, and the expression of his face was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. He ordered the furnace heated seven times more than…

THE WORK IS DONE He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world. —I John 2:2 And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever. —I John 2:17             This is truly astounding— Jesus not only “is the propitiation for our sins… but also for the sins of the whole world.”  Jesus satisfied the wrath of God against us and now “Whoever calls on the Name of the Lord shall be saved” (Romans 10:13) from God’s judgment. “Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes…

HUNTER BIDEN PARDON IS THE PINNACLE OF HUMAN FAVORITISM AND DISCRIMINATION IN A TWO-TIERED LEGAL SYSTEM— GOD SHOWS NO SUCH FAVORITISM If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.  My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.  He…

WE TURN BACK OR ARE BEING TRANSFORMED For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world through the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first.  For it would have been better for them never to have known the way of righteousness than after knowing it to turn back from the holy commandment delivered to them.  What the true proverb says has happened to them: “The dog returns to its own vomit, and the sow, after washing herself, returns to wallow in the mire.” —II Peter 2:20-22 It is…

AT PEACE ON THIS THANKSGIVING DAY Peace to all of you who are in Christ. —I Peter 5:14             This Thanksgiving Day, and every day, we should be the most thankful people on the planet as followers of Jesus.  It is because of Him that “we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand” (Romans 5:1-2).  Oh, this is a marvel “For if, while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved…

GIFTED TO SERVE Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen. —I Peter 4:10-11             What gift or gifts has God given you? (Romans 12:6-8; I Corinthians 12:7-11; Ephesians 4:8-13).  How are you using the gift or gifts God has given you to…

HONOR JESUS! Now who is there to harm you if you are zealous for what is good? But even if you should suffer for righteousness’ sake, you will be blessed. Have no fear of them, nor be troubled, but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect, having a good conscience, so that, when you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame. For it is better to suffer for doing good, if that should be God’s…

SEEKERS OF THE LOST My sheep were scattered; they wandered over all the mountains and on every high hill. My sheep were scattered over all the face of the earth, with none to search or seek for them. —Ezekiel 34:6 “For thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I, I myself will search for my sheep and will seek them out. As a shepherd seeks out his flock when he is among his sheep that have been scattered, so will I seek out my sheep, and I will rescue them from all places where they have been scattered on a day of clouds and thick darkness.” —Ezekiel 34:11-12 For the Son of…
