Passion 4 Him

  We don’t know at what time of day Daniel began to pray, but he was still praying at the time of the evening burnt offering, which was about 3 o’clock in the afternoon. He was living in Babylon but was still measuring time by Jewish religious practices! His body was in Babylon, but his mind and heart were in Jerusalem. Had the temple been standing and the priests still officiating, this would have been “the ninth hour” when the lamb was offered as a burnt offering (Ex. 29:38–41; Acts 3:1; 10:30). It was one of the three occasions during the day when Daniel set aside time to offer special prayer to the Lord (Dan. 6:10; Ps. 55:17). This was also the time when Ezra the scribe prayed for God to forgive the sins of the Jewish remnant that had returned to the land (Ezra 9:5). There is a sense in which prayer is seen by God as a spiritual sacrifice to Him (Ps. 141:1–2).  While Daniel was praying, the angel Gabriel came swiftly to him, interrupted his prayer, touched him, and spoke t...

1. Serve someone else.  Jesus said, "For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many" (Mark 10:45). He washed feet. He touched the untouchable. He let His "schedule" be interrupted by needy people. He gave and gave; freely pouring out His life. And since "no servant is greater than his master," we face a high calling if we endeavor to follow His example of servanthood (John 13:15-16 NIV). 2. Practice being uncomfortable. Breaking an addiction often means denying ourselves. Discipline yourself by forgoing something you crave or even take for granted. Walk instead of drive. Welcome inconvenience for the sake of blessing others (and making God smile). Stop to help someone who is homeless— or another needy person to whom the Holy Spirit directs you-realizing that your hands may be Jesus' hands for him or her. 3. Give away your stuff.  Jesus warned us to "be on your guard against every form of ...

"The people who leave the planet during the time of Earth changes do not fit in here    any longer, and they are stopping the harmony of Earth. When the time comes that perhaps 20 million people leave the planet at one time there will be   a tremendous shift in consciousness for those who are remaining."   -Barbara Marciniak,  "Bringers of the Dawn"  (a Newager) 👉🏻The disappearance of every born-again Christian in the Rapture is a real imminent Biblical event as laid out in 1 Corinthians 15:51-53 &. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18. Satan and the demonic realm are preparing humanity for a narrative contrary to the revealed Word of God! You will notice in these quotes how they twist the Scriptures!!!  What follows are some quotes from members of the New Age movement who dabble in a practice called "channeling." Channeling is a process whereby you open your mind and soul through meditation and relaxation to the influence and direction of non-human beings. T...

( Taken from: The Church in History; Stanford Murrel) “The absence of an official state church in America may be due to several considerations: The wide variety of emigration to the colonies after 1690. There were Huguenots and Quakers. There Were 200,000 Germans of Lutheran and Reformed persuasion. There were Pietists, and Presbyterians of Scotch-rish descent from Northem Ireland. By 1760 there were more than 2,500,000 people in the colonies, a third of which were bom outside the American colonies. This great diversity discouraged the establishment of an official state church over all the colonies. The effect of the proprietary colonies also hindered the establishing of a State Church. The desire to make a colony successful demanded cooperation of people from all walks of life and religious persuasions. The great revivals of the colonies discouraged the preferring of one state church over another: Denominational lines are always transcended when the love of God and the grace o...

  UFO cults are founded on the same weakness in man’s spiritual condition that inspired him in ancient times when he “changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things” (Rom. 1:23), and this rebellion remains strong today. Ideas and events that seem mysterious or unexplained are always fertile ground for all kinds of self-proclaimed religious revelators who take advantage of natural human curiosity. They stand ready to explain the unexplained through personal revelation, using clever semantics to reformulate God’s words into a recycled amalgam that resembles Christian terminology but lacks its true definition. Jesus called similar revisionists “blind guides” (Matt. 23:16), a description that unfortunately fits UFO religionists all too well. A vital clue to the UFO mystery is this: UFO theology—gained from these so-called close encounters—is diametrically opposed to Christianity. The world of the ...

All God’s Word is sweet! ( Ps. 19:10 ;  119:103 ), but especially the initial exposure to prophetic passages. Often, those who “eat” prophetic Scripture “sit on the edge of their seat” and focus on its quick fulfillment. Like a perpetual “sugar high,” it provides an initial surge of energy and motivation, but will never sustain like a balanced meal of God’s Word. The continual chasing after the latest prophetic conference, while superficially treating prophetic passages and never grasping important aspects of God’s character—His heart for the lost and His ultimate interest in restoration over judgment—is sure to lead to disillusionment and will shipwreck the faith of some. Critics of the  Rapture  rightfully point to those who continually overemphasize prophetic passages within a shallow framework of Scriptural understanding and are forever watching for  Antichrist  rather than Christ. Arnold Fruchtenbaum says in His Footsteps of the Messiah: To almost all peop...
