Grace N Truth

And ere the lamp of God went out in the temple of the LORD, where the ark of God was, and Samuel was laid down to sleep; ... 1 Samuel 3:3 "ere" what a word. I have never heard any use it in word or a sentence and yet I read it in the bible. "ere" = properly, meaning to glisten. So we would than read "And glisten of the lamp of God went out in the temple of the LORD, where the ark of God was, and Samuel was laid down to sleep;" ... 1 Samuel 3:3 So the lamp or fire of God did not go out but the glisten of it did! MY MY MY.... I have trouble trying to find the meaning of "ere" but I think what it is saying is that they were letting the lamp go out at night. HMMMMMMMMmmmmm brings much to hEARt. Before the lamp of God had gone out, Samuel was lying down in the temple of the LORD, where the ark of God was located.  1 Samuel 3:3 Much Deep there MUCH. There no mention of a veil between the Holy room and the Most Holy room and yet Samuel made his bed in t...

The Journey of the Soul by Des Walter INTRODUCTION The question of man’s IDENTITY is one of the stumbling blocks keeping us from enjoying life as God intended. It is no secret that everyone of us develops our own sense of identity, out of which we actually live our lives. The problem is that the information we use to arrive at our understanding of ourselves quite often is incorrect, so that what we believe we are, can create further difficulties for us. Many Christians seek to discover themselves, based upon inflexible religious notions, that produce a "faith" which cannot stand the test of living proof, and so our anxiety and uncertainty increases. It was Billy Graham who used to quote many times in his preaching, that within MAN there is a GOD SHAPED BLANK, and only GOD can fill it!! Ever since Adam found himself outside the Garden of Eden, mankind has been searching to discover himself and to find his way back. Eastern religion has seen a renaissance in recent years beca...

In my baby days I would have fired this verse at Brother Frankie's post on second coming. So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Hebrews 9:28 That was the day I stood outside of the tabernacle. But the day I went into the holy place I would have looked at Hebrews 9:28 IN context and would have looked at other bible versions and even a Greek bible. Now by His Spirit I like to look at His appear the SECOND TIME ..... For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us: Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others; For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. Hebrews...

Bless the Lord for His Spirit that leads and guides one into Truth. Second coming, gosh I use to parrot that as one under the wing of MYSTERY, BABYLON! See when one hears it over and over they just attach the word "second" to "coming" which the ear of the hearer only hears that Christ came once and will return a second time. Lets look to His word and allow His Spirit to open our eyes to behold the Truth. Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man COMING in his kingdom. Mat 16:28 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy COMING, and of the end of the world? Mat 24:3 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the COMING of the Son of man be. Matt 24:7 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribe...

QUOTE = Most Christians seem to think that the time the Christ of God left the glory above was when He was conceived in the womb of the virgin of Nazareth and born a babe in Bethlehem’s stable, laying down that life that He had with the Father, birthed into our life which is a life of death, separated from the eternal glory of the Father for a mere 33 years, then laying aside that robe which was of flesh to return to the Father and take again that glory which He had with the Father until that wonderful day when the angel Gabriel was dispatched by God to Mary in Nazareth. But a close inspection of the scriptures will give us a different idea. In that wonderful prayer Jesus prayed on the night before His crucifixion, He said, “I have finished the work which Thou gavest Me to do.” Then He went on to ask, “And now, O Father, glorify Thou Me with Thine own self, with the glory I had with Thee before the world (cosmos) was” (Jn. 17:4-5). These words certainly indicate that Christ had been aw...

The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. Revelation 17:8 Or The beast (carnal ego) that thou sawest was (past tense), and is not (doesn’t exist); and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit (no foundation to stand upon), and go into perdition (destruction): and they that dwell ON the earth (lived for their affections and lusts) shall wonder, whose names (false nature/not His) were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. See, for John the beast that he saw within himself was and is not for John had on the mind of Christ and believed in the nature (name) of Christ. See the nature (name) of Christ is the Word of life that is the Father! That which ...

Now was Pharaoh called and raised for God's purpose? Romans 9:17 sure points to that truth--->For the Scripture says to Pharaoh: “I raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display My power in you, and that My name might be proclaimed in all the earth.” So 'Scripture' says Pharaoh was raised up by God for God's very purpose of displaying His power IN Pharaoh and that the character (name) of God be proclaimed IN all the earth! Well that one verse sure knocks out a lot of doctrine in many churches, it also rebukes many that say God only saves ones that follow certain Scriptures that is presented by A church. I never base Truth upon one verse for there are them one verse teacher that proclaim they are God's called when in truth they just present the dead letter. I desire to have the Holy Spirit guide me throughout the Scriptures to see and know the truth. Back to Pharaoh, whom God raised for a purpose. And he...
