Keep The Faith

✦ The First Whisper of Love August 03, 2020 Have you ever tried to put a description or a meaning to this word ‘LOVE’ ? Every time I think about this word, love, I have a hard time putting a concrete definition to it in my mind. How would you describe to someone what love is? ✦ 1 Corinthians 13:1–3 · New International Version If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing. The Greek word for love is ‘agape’ — affection or benevolence; a love that gives freely without condition. What is it about this word? There seems to be great power in it — but how… why? Do...

How do we, you and I know that God really exists? It can only happen when we personally witness something extradentary, something that is imposable to explain away, a miracle. It is kind of like 'doubting Thomas' in the Bible. When Jesus came back from the dead after being in the grave three days, Thomas couldn't/wouldn't believe that Jesus was alive until he personally saw him and was able to touch His wounds ( John 20:24-31 ). There are people today who have personally witnessed a miracle. They can tell you without a doubt that there is a God. There are a number of examples in the Bible where a whole group of people all witnessed a miracle, something that could not be explained away, it was evident to them that God exists and that He does as He pleases.  ( Exodus chapter 14 ) When the Israelites were released from bondage out of Egypt (A miracle in itself), God led them to the edge of the Red sea. There was no direction that they could escape from the approa...

I've been studying about this day in the future known as "the great day of the Lord". This is what I've discovered: All peoples, everyone, will know Who it is coming  (the Lord Jesus Christ). Everyone will mourn. All tears will be wiped away. Matthew 24:30 King James Version (KJV) 30  And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. Revelation 1:7 Common English Bible (CEB) 7  Look, he is coming with the clouds! Every eye will see him, including those who pierced him, and all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of him. This is so. Amen. Why is everyone morning? I believe it is because it is at this moment that everyone sees or comes to know that person Jesus died for; the true self. Isaiah 45:21-25 Common English Bible (CEB) 21  Announce! Approach! Confer together!   ...

In my previous post, “God Will BE All in All” , I talked about those people, the nations, living outside the new Holy city, Jerusalem. One of the groups are called “dogs”. I didn't know if this was a group of people or a reference to the actual animal, dog. Here is what I've found in my studies: To an Israelite, dogs were not well loved, and they were associated with evil and low status and unclean. In Jesus' time and before, the gentiles (non-Israelite) were called or referenced as dogs by the Jews. 11-3-15 - I am a gentile and knowing that I may be considered or called a dog by anyone, be it Jew or Muslim or anyone does not bother me. I am in God's eyes perfectly judged. I trust Him in His thoughts of me. I hope I have not built up more animosity towards the Jews by what I've said here. It is not my intention to do so. I only want to shed light on the "dogs" reference in Revelation.   I found the reference in the Bible where I remembered Jesu...
