His Word Never Fails


Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.
Matthew 24:35 HCSB

In this chapter Jesus is talking to His disciples regarding the end of time. It starts with Him predicting the destruction of the temple and goes on to give a picture of what will be happening when He returns.

In a day when mand tries to rewrite scripture, these words are very important. God's word is living and active. It has power to pierce through bone amd marrow and get to the heart. The book of Revelation tells us the outcome for those who endeavour to change scripture- they are cursed. Jesus Himself tells us, in this chapter that upon His return, He will send out His angels to gather His elect, those who stayed faithful until the end. In verse 40 He begins to say: one will be taken, one left.

God knows the hearts of man and is not deceived by our words, He sees our behaviour. Jesus admonishes us to be ready and not caught in unbelief, wasting our time, thinking He will not return. We must live ready. When we see the sun darkened and the moon fail to shine, stars falling from the sky, the time has come.

Today is the day of man. His noise is loud, he is full of himself and as Jesus predicts: the love of many will grow cold. This is that time. Have mercy Lord. Yet, all men must hear the gospel before His return, all men. Amen!

Who Rules?

The princes of Judah are like those who move boundary markers, I will pout out my fury on them like water. Hosea 5:10 World leaders of church and state are now all highly visible. When they are not open to consultation or do not listen they make judgements that are judged as foolish by both God and man. In Australia we just celebrated Australia Day and at this time various people are honoured for their contribution to society. Our Prime Minister, Mr Abbott, without consultation, conferred a knighthood on the Queen of England's husband, Phillip. Almost to a person, Australians judged this to be foolish. Even supporters have now distanced themselves. Imagine what it is like when church leaders follow their own emotions or the emotions of their people and change what is acceptable to God. For example, no longer considering adultery something that precludes a man from ministry. We might think we are clever, but actually going with a sinful flow. Where is God in all this? My emotions ar...

Know Your Sword!

So he took Him to Jerusalem, had Him stand on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, "if you are the Son of God, throw Yourself down from here. For it is written: 'He will give His angels orders concerning You, to protect you, they will support You with their hands, so that you will not strike Your foot against a stone.' And Jesus answered him, "it is said: 'do not test The Lord your God." And the Devil had finished every temptation, he departed from Him for a time. Luke 4:9-11 In this third test Satan quoted scripture but Jesus knew His scripture and was not going to be deceived by his enemy twisting the truth. I am amazed at what Satan tempted Jesus with. He did not know Christ. He had succeeded in tempting the first Adam yet he was thwarted in this attempt. Jesus had lived 30 years and been tutored in godliness with contentment, he was prepared, baptised in the Spirit and sold out to the Father's purpose. Every time our enemy comes against us we ...

Little Things Grow

The boy's mother said to Elisha, "as The Lord lives and you yourself live, I will not leave you. So he got up and followed her. 2 Kings 4:30 The Shunamite woman had travelled to Mt Carmel to find Elisha after the death of her son. Although Elisha had sent his servant Gehazi to the boy with his staff the woman had come to find Elisha and was not leaving without him. I like this lady's spirit. I am sure The Lord God Almighty also valued her heart. She had a heart for God and made room for Him in her world. Now, having lost her son she knew what to do: find Elisha and not let him go until he came to restore her son. What made the Shunamite woman believe that Elisha could raise her son? Was it the same faith that made her provide him a place to stay in her home? I believe it was God working in her life. I am grateful for her faith, I can read and be encouraged. We do not know her name yet her story lives in scripture. What a little thing it was to feed Elisha and then provide ...
