Die Kenmerke van Sy Teenwoordigheid In Handelinge 3, kort na die opstanding, vind ons Petrus en Johannes op pad na die tempel om te gaan aanbid. Net buitekant die tempelpoort, het ‘n bedelaar, wat van sy geboorte af kruppel was, gesit. Petrus het vir die bedelaar gebid en gesê: “In die Naam van
Deur Swaarkry Leer Hy Ons die Dieptes van Sy Liefde In Jesaja 29 het die profeet Jesaja vol trane voor God se volk in Jerusalem gestaan terwyl hy 'n vreesaanjaende boodskap oorgedra het. Hy het gesê dat 'n groot en vernederende toets van geloof op hulle gewag het. Hulle sou almal eendag wakker
Die Een Ding Wat Nodig is om Staande te bly in Hierdie Tye Deur die hele Nuwe Testament word vir ons gesê dat daar in hierdie laaste dae 'n groot afvalligheid sal plaasvind. Jesus het gesê dat selfs sommige toegewyde diensknegte – “as dit moontlik was, ook die uitverkorenes” (Matthéüs 24:24, AFR53)
Ons Diepste Behoeftes Word Deur Sy Begeerte Aangespreek Ek glo dat die kerk nooit die belangrikheid van gebed sal begryp nie totdat ons een fundamentele waarheid verstaan. Eenvoudig gestel, gebed is nie net vir ons eie voordeel of verligting nie, maar eerder vir die behae van die Here. Ons gaan
Om Volkome Op God te Steun as Jou Vertroue Toe Dawid Psalm 3 geskryf het, het hy 'n dramatiese en verwoestende tyd in sy lewe beleef. Oorweldig deur ondraaglike beproewinge, het hy met angs uitgeroep: “O Here, hoe het my teëstanders vermenigvuldig! Baie staan teen my op” (Psalm 3:2, AFR53). Vir
Die Heilige Bediening van Versoening Die meeste Christene wat ek ken is goedhartig, liefdevol, bedagsaam, sorgsaam en behulpsaam. Ek glo baie min mense in die kerk dink aan hulself as nie goedhartig nie. Ek dink nie jy kan 'n ware Christen wees en nie goedhartig wees nie. Wanneer ons aan goedhartige
An Outpouring of the Holy Spirit 18Oct2021 Die Krag om Verdrukking te Verdra Begin met Ywerige Gebed Die Bybel sê vir ons dat die kerk in die laaste dae gevaarlike tye sal beleef. Goddeloosheid sal so deurdringend word dat baie afvallig van die geloof sal word en ander saam met hulle sal neem
Om Aan God Se Naam Vas te Hou in Ons Angs Elke kind van God beleef teleurstellings. Soms kan ons totaal verslae, wanhopig en dood van binne voel omdat al ons hoop, drome en vooruitsigte nie uitgewerk het nie. Ons mag dalk op iets hoop, God daarvoor soek en met verwagting daarop wag, maar ons sien
“In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will, that we who first trusted in Christ should be to the praise of His glory” (Ephesians 1:11-12, NKJV, my emphasis). We have been predestined to a
You’re going to face your own Jordan River. God wants to part those waters for you.
The more someone is with Jesus, the more that person becomes like Christ in purity, justice, holiness and love. In turn, their pure walk produces in them a great boldness for God.
You remember the story of Elijah. On Mount Carmel, he faced 850 false prophets in a life-or-death showdown over whose God would prevail. He simply called on the Lord, and supernatural fire fell from heaven.
I know all about the restraining hand of the Lord. He allows his children to go only so far but no further. In my early days of ministry, he restrained me when I was ready to quit during times of awful discouragement. At times, I felt overwhelmed by all the financial responsibilities. I felt like a failure as a husband and father as well. I would get so low about my overwhelming obligations that I thought my faith would shatter completely.
From Adam to this present day, God has been searching for a people who will entrust their lives totally to him. He desires a body of faithful believers who give him their complete trust and confidence and commit themselves wholly to his keeping.
It is clear the Lord loves his church and desires to bless it. So why does Revelation 2 present such a fearsome picture of Christ as he appears to his people?
After Jesus delivered the Sermon on the Mount, his listeners sat in awe. Scripture says, “The people were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes” (Matthew 7:28-29, NKJV). The Greek word for authority in this verse means “with mastery, power, liberty; as one in control.” Jesus’ listeners were saying, in essence, “This man knows what he’s talking about.”
His answer to your prayer is coming. Our ministry receives letters from many Christians who have somehow lost heart. These are followers of Christ who have truly been saved. They’ve tasted the mercy and goodness of the Lord and experienced joy, peace, hope and gladness of heart. Then something
