The days in which we live are pressing days, with the demands of life and the concerns of the world around us weighing heavily upon us. The spirit of the age would entice us to be so focused on these things that our spiritual infrared vision is blocked; this in turn becomes a blocking mechanism […]
This week we conclude our mini series on “Have you been robbed?” Once again we emphasize from John 10:10 that our enemy, Satan, has a threefold agenda, which is to steal, to kill, and to destroy! Robbing us of health and vitality is another of his key targets. Some physical afflictions are directly attributable to […]
Once again we are reminded that we have a common enemy that is out to rob us of everything God intended and has planned for us, (John 10:10). Satan’s first hatred is against God Himself, originally trying to dethrone Him, according to Isaiah 14:12-15; failing in this, his next attack comes against God’s prime creation, […]
Today we begin a three-part prophetic exhortation that the Lord gave to Rose that we have entitled “Have you been robbed?” The truth of the matter is that we have a common enemy, called Satan, whose goal it is to steal everything God has given and made available to us, because he is a thief […]
Peter, in the midst of portraying to his readers the inheritance that is reserved for them in heaven, points out that they too, like the inheritance, are being kept (guarded over) by the power of God, for that day when salvation will be fully disclosed, 1 Peter 1:5-6. Peter says we are being “kept […]

In 1 Peter 1:3-5 we are told that “the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven […]
“I will arise and go to my father,” Luke 15:18. This son known as “the prodigal” had wondered far away from the security, the safety, and the abundant provisions of home just like mankind had “wondered” far away from God and the abundance He had provided; this son was “living it up” in the “night […]
The disciples were going to have to face life without the physical presence of Jesus in the near future. This was very devastating to Peter, and likely to the other disciples as well. Facing life and the world without His physical presence would be difficult indeed. The same hostilities that He had sustained them […]
Hebrews 4:9 states “There remains therefore a rest for the people of God”. This verse from the Bible uses as a backdrop the unbelieving Israelites who failed to enter the “promised land” rest in Numbers 14, and it also brings us to view God’s rest following His creation in Genesis 2:1-3. The historical event of […]
