We Shall Be Like Him

Proclamation #11 “Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God…” (Revelation 3:12a)             In the book of Job, which some believe to be the oldest book in the Bible. We find Job talking about pillars. Let us read, “The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.” (Job 26:11) This can be taken that the pillars are the sky, the mountain, heavenly host, or some other spiritual inference. No one really knows. In the book of 1st Samuel, we find “… For the pillars of the earth are the LORD’S, and he hath set the world upon them.” (1Sa 2:8) This is…

Proclamation #12 “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.” (Revelation 3:20-22)             During the time of Jesus, it was the custom if you had a guest you wished to honor; you would kiss and anoint them upon their arrival. Oil…

The Implied Proclamation! Proclamation #13 “That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, Far above…

In His Likeness, Now! “Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the Divine Nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.” (2 Peter 1:2-4)             Jesus has granted us all things pertaining to life and godliness. This will be the topic for the forthcoming chapters. We will be…

“Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.” (1 John 3:2)             It seems to me that in everything I write I am working towards a moment. A beautiful moment when I can fully understand our Fathers heart just a little better. The following chapters are just that, I believe with all that I am that these chapters are going to change your life. This information will help us to understand that Jesus did not just come to earth…

            Instantly you thought to yourself, “That’s not how you spell impossible!” This is correct. I took the opportunity to insert a deeper meaning into the word. The Hebrew word “EL” is used in the Bible to describe God as “The Almighty!” As in the book of Job, we find the word used for God is actually “EL.” Let’s take a peak: “…O Job: Standstill, and consider the wondrous works of God-EL.” (Job 37:14b). “EL” means: “almighty, mighty, and strength.”* Our Father God also uses the word “EL” to refer to Himself.  As we see here, “… the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty…

Jesus answered him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.” (John 14:6-7)             I remember when we were trying to have our first child. I came home with a bottle of orange juice and a rose. I told my wife that I was ready to have a baby. The rose was to commemorate the moment. The orange juice was to make sure she started to get her folic acid, as I heard this was important. Well, almost…

“That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.”(1 John 1:3)             We have four beautiful gifts in our life now. Daddy has blessed us with four children of God. We waited six years for the first, four years for the next one, and two years between the last two. With our last little girl, it was a big surprise blessing. Our newest edition has enjoyed a miracle birth. We did not expect to have more than one kid. Yet like all of Daddy’s blessings, He…

Jesus said to them, “Have faith in God. For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.” (Mar 11:22-24) He continues to expand on this teaching when He says, “If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and…

(Metamorphosis) “First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.” (Romans 1:8)             I can imagine the scene, the Godhead flowing in unity through five glorious days of creation. Watching the earth as it makes its full rotation, the evening and morning ending the fifth day. Then the sixth day begins with a truly wonderful goal in mind. “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: ….” (Gen 1:26a) This truly would be a first. The God of the universe wants to expand the Family of Heaven. Bestowing upon Adam and Eve creative…
