Today, is what we in our family call miracle day.
22 years ago I was healed from paralysis. Just before my 12th birthday I was diagnosed with a rare neurological condition that left me paralyzed from the waist down (a 🧵).
Jonah's story is one of the most fascinating in the Bible, filled with adventure, reluctance, repentance, and divine mercy.
Did you know that Jonah's ministry was a foreshadowing to Jesus Christ's ministry?

Why Read The Bible In Hebrew?
Let's talk about Rahab in the Book of Joshua.
How does a Canaanite harlot end up as the hero of the Israelites’ journey into the Promised Land?

Why Read The Bible In Hebrew?
So, remember how Joseph gets sold into slavery in Egypt and eventually rises to become Pharaoh's second-in-command?
Well...why doesn't Joseph ever write home to his father to tell him that he's alive?

For those rejoicing in election results & those who are heartbroken, Psalm 146 is great reminder that God is on the throne, regardless of who's in White House. We put far too much stock in politicians

Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up all those who are battling blood disorders. We ask for Your healing touch to flow through their bodies, restoring balance and health to every cell, tissue, and organ. Strengthen their immune systems, and guide the hands and minds of the doctors and medical teams treating them.
Lord, we know that You are the Great Physician, and nothing is beyond Your power. Grant peace to those who are anxious, comfort to those who are in pain, and hope to those who feel weary. May Your love and presence be a source of strength during this time, and may healing come according to Your perfect will.
In Your mighty name, we pray. Amen.
“I would rather die than end up unfaithful to my wife;
I would rather die than deny by a profligate life what I have taught in my books;
I would rather die than deny or disown the gospel.”
The book of Revelation uses a chiastic structure. Unless someone is aware of this it is highly likely whatever they deduce from the text is incorrect. Not only Rev, but many other verses, passages, chapters, are written in the same manner.
A chiasmus involves presenting a sequence of ideas and then repeating them in reverse order, creating a "mirror" effect. This reflection is achieved through the repetition of a word, often in a similar form, connecting each idea to its counterpart. The term chiasmus derives from the Greek letter chi, which resembles our letter X.
Let's not forget that the entry into the end times will come unexpectedly, there will be no special hour, day, or month, everything will start as a surprise for those who do not read the Word, for those who hate God, and have no fear of Him.
Here's a preview of my upcoming video exposing (I do not use that term lightly) Benny Hinn.
I'll have sections on his miracles, teachings, targeting the poor, documented lies, false prophecies and more.
Hypno-Hinn (sound on)
Why didn't God the Father or the Holy Spirit take the form of a human being to redeem mankind? Could someone provide inputs and any reference material. Thanks
The Hebrew Background of “Take My Yoke Upon You”
The Hebrew word for “yoke” is עֹל (ʿōl). This wooden crosspiece on the neck of oxen for pulling or plowing is a common Old Testament metaphor for human bondage or hard labor.
For example, God broke Israel’s yoke of slavery in Egypt (Lev. 26:13). Jeremiah acted out Judah’s coming thralldom to Babylon by wearing a yoke (27:1–28:17). In one of the chapters we read today in “Bible in One Year” (https://t.co/XxNvEtNH7e ), God says that Babylon made their “yoke exceedingly heavy” even upon the elderly (Isa. 47:6).
Bearing a yoke was therefore largely a negative image, like today we speak of “bearing a heavy burden” or “carrying a heavy load.” Or we say, “He’s got a lot on his shoulders.”
Around the time of the 1st century, some rabbis spoke positively of a yoke. They described living according to the laws of the Torah as taking on “the yoke of the kingdom of heaven.”
Jesus the Messiah came as both a yoke-breaker and a yoke-lightener.
Isaiah says he will break “the yoke of [Israel’s] burden” (9:4). To those who labor and are heavy laden, he says, “Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light” (Matt. 11:28–30).
To wear the yoke of Jesus is to serve in freedom; in freedom to rest; and in rest to find peace under this gracious King. Place on us, Lord Jesus, your light yoke of freedom that we may joyfully serve you.
