PROPHETS AND THE PROPHETIC Prophetic Transition—Old Covenant to New Under the old Covenant the prophets represented God in the earth. They spoke His Word and did His Work. At any given time there were only a few that walked with God in this manner. If you needed something from God, you had to find the prophet of God. The way God speaks to us changed dramatically under the New Covenant. Hebrews 1:1-2 NASB (1) God, after He spoke long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways, (2) in these last days has spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the world. Now, God has spoken to us through the Son. He has become our source of supply of all that we need from God. Prophecy is even defined as it relates to Jesus. Revelation 19:10 NASB (10) Then I fell at his feet to worship him. But he *said to me, "Do not do that; I am a fellow servant of yours and your brethren who hold the testimony of

                                                                                                     LOVE THE MOST EXCELLENT WAY                                                  ( PERFECT LOVE EMBODIED IN JESUS) 1Jn 4:7   Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 1Jn 4:8   He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. THE Children of Light, who abide in the Kingdom of Heaven, see the universe, and all that it contains, as the manifestation of one Law — the Law of Love. They see Love as the moulding, sustaining, protecting, and perfecting Power immanent in all things animate and inanimate. To them Love is not merely and only a rule of life, it is the Law of Life, it is Life itself. Knowing this, they order their whole life in accordance with Love, not regarding their own personality. By thus practising obedience to the Highest, to divine Love, they become conscious partakers of the power o

2Ki 3:11  But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the LORD, that we may enquire of the LORD by him? And one of the king of Israel's servants answered and said, Here is Elisha the son of Shaphat, which poured water on the hands of Elijah.  2 Kings 3:11 Elisha . . . which poured water on the hands of Elijah. Contrast between Elijah and Elisha The resemblances between Elijah and Elisha are occasionally so great, that it is scarcely surprising the one prophet is confused with the other. They both lived in one country and in one age. They were both the messengers of God to kings. They both wrought miracles, and even the same class of miracles, multiplying the widow’s off, and raising from the dead a mother’s only child. Last of all, the life-work of both was to withstand and witness against idolatry, and restore the worship of the true God in the land of Israel. And yet to the careful reader there is no contrast in the Bible more striking or complete. What John

The Sword of the Spirit. Use it often. “And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:” (Ephesians 6:17) The sword of the Spirit is the anointed word of God. This is the weapon that puts every wicked spirit running. It is written that the word of God is alive, powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing… (Hebrews 4:12). In other words, the anointed word of God is unstoppable. Of all the parts making up the armor of God, the anointed word of God is your only offensive weapon. All the others were given for protection. Every spiritual warrior understands the anointed power of the word of God. It’s significant that Paul calls the word of God the sword of the Spirit. This is because it is the anointing on the word of God that gives it power. Paul wrote, “And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: That your faith should not stand in the w

Exo 24:1  And he said unto Moses, Come up unto the LORD, thou, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; and worship ye afar off.  Exo 24:2  And Moses alone shall come near the LORD: but they shall not come nigh; neither shall the people go up with him.  Exo 24:3  And Moses came and told the people all the words of the LORD, and all the judgments: and all the people answered with one voice, and said, All the words which the LORD hath said will we do.  Exo 24:4  And Moses wrote all the words of the LORD, and rose up early in the morning, and builded an altar under the hill, and twelve pillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel.  Exo 24:5  And he sent young men of the children of Israel, which offered burnt offerings, and sacrificed peace offerings of oxen unto the LORD.  Exo 24:6  And Moses took half of the blood, and put it in basons; and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.  Exo 24:7  And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the

                                                                                       To Be a Man After God’s Own Heart! 1 Acts 13:16-23 (cp. 1 Sam. 13:14). 16 So Paul stood up, and motioning with his hand said: “Men of Israel, and you that fear God, listen. 17 The God of this people Israel chose our fathers and made the people great during their stay in the land of Egypt, and with uplifted arm he led them out of it. 18 And for about forty years he bore with them in the wilderness. 19 And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them their land as an inheritance, for about four hundred and fifty years. 20 And after that he gave them judges until Samuel the prophet. 21 Then they asked for a king; and God gave them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years. 22 And when he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king; of whom he testified and said, ‘I have found in David the son of Jesse a man after my heart, wh
