A Mighty Engine in Thy Hand

Intercessory prayer is the sweetest God ever hears, for the prayer of Jesus Christ is of this Spirit. In all the incense which our Great High Priest now puts into the golden censer, there is not a single grain for Himself. His intercession must be the most acceptable of all supplications. Moreover, the more like our prayer is to Christ’s, the sweeter it will be; thus while petitions for ourselves will be accepted, our pleadings for others, having in them more of the fruits of the Spirit, more love, more faith, more brotherly kindness, will be. Through the precious merits of Jesus, the sweetest oblation that we can offer to God, the very fat of our sacrifice.

Believer, thou hast a mighty engine in thy hand, use it well, use it constantly, use it with faith, and thou shalt surely be a benefactor to thy brethren. When thou hast the King’s ear, speak to Him for the suffering members of His body. When thou art favoured to draw very near to His throne, and the King saith to thee, “Ask, and I will give thee what thou wilt,” let thy petitions be, not for thyself alone, but for the many who need His aid. If thou hast grace at all, and art not an intercessor, that grace must be small as a grain of mustard seed. Thou hast just enough grace to float thy soul clear from the quicksand, but thou hast no deep floods of grace, or else thou wouldst carry in thy joyous bark a weighty cargo of the wants of others, and thou wouldst bring back from thy Lord, for them, rich blessings which but for thee they might not have obtained

Father, we stand in our authority as Your children and ready to push back the powers of darkness. We belong to You by the virtue of the price Jesus paid. Your Word says, “. . . Upon this rock (Petra) I will building my church; and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it.” We are a majority here, because Jesus Christ and just one person is more powerful than all the powers of darkness. Jesus gave us this promise: “For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.” In Jesus’ name means that it is for His glory and to carry out His purpose.

End time Salvation- Are you ready to meet the Lord?

The end times are upon us! We must make sure of our salvation before the coming of the Lord. We also must keep our loved ones and friends in mind that are saved and ones that are not saved. The Bible says: that whom God “predestined, these He also called; and whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified” (Rom. 8:30).

Women and Salvation

Can, “salvation” be as a real and practical experience for a woman equal to a man? Is she redeemed from her past equally as a man? Do you truly believe that the original sin of a woman is still held against her after she commits her life to Jesus, while the original sin of a man is forgiven? Can you believe that women are truly equal in Jesus Christ or just an appendage to the men of the church? “It was for freedom that Christ set us free … do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery.” (Gal. 5:1). I am persuaded that new life, joy, blessing will be experienced by the Church when every follower of Jesus can enter the liberty to understand who he or she is in Christ.”

The story of creation in Genesis recounts, “The curse” woman’s “fall from grace” in the eyes of God and men. Though Jesus’ redemption of all humans, women continue to labor under such a curse throughout the ages that has been imposed upon her by Christian men. Traditionally, the church world has gone beyond the curse in its subjugation of women to her husband by severely limiting the roles scripturally available to them in the ministry and placing them under the subjection of all men.Do you really believe that women are inferior to men? Does the creation story imply that man, is in some sense, higher or better than women? What biblical evidence shows that women have equality with men? In what sense are they equal to men and they are not?

Does Paul Object to Women Prophesying or Praying Pt. 3

That Paul is but quoting the language of the Judaizers in I Corinthians 14:34-35 is in harmony with previous parts of the epistle. Again and again from chapter 5 on to end of chapter 14, it can be seen that he is replying to a letter of questions sent to him by the Corinthian Church. As can be clearly seen in the Conybeare-Howson translation, in instance after instance it can be detected that the reference to the questions is repeated whenever a new point is taken up. We need to remember that in the Greek manuscripts there were no capital letters to words, no quotation marks, and no punctuation such as we have in our English versions of the Bible. Professor Sir William Ramsey, the most widely accepted authority on St. Paul in the early 1900’s says “we should be ready to suspect Paul is making a quotation from the letter addressed to him by the Corinthians whenever he alludes to their knowledge, or when any statement stands in marked contrast either with the immediate context or with Paul’s known views.” Considering Paul’s views on the ministries of Priscilla, Phoebe and others referred to earlier, it is clear that Paul believed in equality of women in ministry.
