Here are the latest messages we've been hearing on the first book of Corinthians and how it relates to our conference:
Study of Corinthians - I: Study of Corinthians - II: Study of Corinthians - III: Study of Corinthians - IV: Study of Corinthians - V: Study of Corinthians - VI: Study of Corinthians - VII: Study of Corinthians - VIII:
When the winds blow, when the storm comes, what shall I do? What shall I pray? Am I going to pick a daisy flower and say, “He heals me, heals menot, heals me, heals me not”? Shall I open my Bible randomly and try to figure out what would the Lord answer? Or should I weep bitterly like the king Hezekiah and turn my face to the wall and pray, “Remember Oh Lord, how I have walked before you faithfully and I have done what is good in your eyes”? Or maybe pray hopelessly like Elijah, “Lord I have had enough, take my life”? Maybe at last I can pray bravely like Daniel’s young friends,
“Lord even if you don’t heal me I will not serve other gods or worship the Image of gold the enemy has set up”.
Then I shift my mind from a self-centered thinking onto Him who is sitting on the throne of the Universe and claim Psalm 31: But I trust in you, O LORD; I say you are my God. My times are in your hands. If it is possible may this cup be taken from me, yet not as I will but as You will.
Please don’t get me wrong, I am not trying to touch your human emotions, and I’m not trying to tell you a sad story about an unfortunate ill woman. This is a testimony of a soldier who was wounded while he was on duty during a severe attack from the enemy against the church of God and the saints of the most high.
It is a final war between two kingdoms, what are we waiting for?
The prophet Joel said in 3:9: “Proclaim this among the nations, prepare for war, rouse the warriors! Let all the fighting men draw near and attack. Beat your plowshares into swords and your pruning hooks into spears. Let the weakling say I am strong.” Am I gonna flee like a bird or face the enemy in the gate? (Psalm 77) Come; let us return to the Lord. He has torn us to pieces but will heal us. He has injured us but He will build up our wounds. After two days He will revive us, on the third day He will restore us that we may live in His presence. Let us acknowledge the Lord, let us press on to acknowledge Him. As surely as the sun rises, He will appear. He will come to us like the winter rains, like the spring rains that water the earth. (Hosea chapter 6) Come, let’s wake up and put the full armour of God, let’s take our places in the battle, facing the enemy, looking into His eyes and say spirit of cancer I am not afraid of you in the name of Jesus, name above all names, I bound you and curse you, The Lord has conquered you by his blood and defeated death by His death and resurrection. If God is with us, who are you to be against us? All things, including you, work together for good, to those who love God. Father God, I pray that Your will, be done in my life, for... Your will is good, pleasing and perfect, and we know that it’s not about us, it is all about You and Your coming kingdom. I pray, Lord, that You keep us standing firm in faith. Give us boldness, and bind us in your love, for perfect love drives out all fear.
I lift up the banner, that You are good, and Your mercies are renewed every morning. I believe that Your glory will be shown over us... I exalt Your holy name forever and ever.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains, You raise me up to soar like an eagle, You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas.
Chapter 3:"The Seed of the Woman" is now complete. Brother Edwin's latest chapter of his book "The Woman and the Serpent" is now available on Acts13.com ,
"God . . . hath quickened us together with
Christ and hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly
places in Christ Jesus" (Ephesians 2:4-6).
What is our attitude concerning our needs in the
Christian life and warfare? Are we outside the armory, struggling and pleading
for supplies? Or are we inside the arsenal, ready to be fully supplied and
armed as our daily needs require? "Be strong in
the Lord--be empowered through your union with Him; draw your strength from Him"
(Ephesians 6:10, Amp.).
"It has come these days with new light and power that
the first thing we have to see to as we draw near to God day by day is that our
fellowship is with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ. If we listen in
the stillness till our hearts begin to respond to what He is thinking and
feeling about the matter in question, whether it concerns ourselves or others,
we can, from that moment, begin praying downwards from the Throne, instead of
praying upwards from ourselves." -L.T.
"We must not think the revelation as to the will of God
is an end in itself; it is but the first phase of a prayer ministry. When
Daniel had prayed through to an understanding of the ways of the Lord, he then
set himself three times a day to persevere in prayer for the fulfillment. His
prayer ministry took him into the lion's den, but it also brought him out
again, and he was able to see the things through to the glorious end."
-H.F.
"Let us therefore come boldly unto the
throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of
need" (Hebrews 4:16).
