God created all we know, and all we can possible know, including His very thoughts today. But how He reveals this information to the hearts of individuals is like the wind. It can't be institutionalized.
Journey Through The Bible: Joel and Malachi - The Day of the LordResurrection Church
Joel and Malachi are the last prophets of the Old Testament. Through Joel The Lord promises restoration if the people repented and pronounced the prophetic blessing of the Holy Spirit on all peoples. Malachi in prophetic dialog with the people chastises them for their attitude toward God. Both prophets looked toward the Day of the Lord - a moment of ultimate judgment on the earth.

God's back road of heartache can be excruciatingly painful. Sometimes is involves human betrayal, lying, deception, rejection or even being replaced. Yet, God can use even this pain redemptively.

When we pray, we will see that everyone seems to have a different object of prayer. Some people pray to God the Father, and some people pray to Jesus Christ. It seems that they are all gods, and it seems to be the same as whoever prays.

WHO ARE YOU? Can your SOUL DIE? What is MANKINDS' Hope after DEATH?Linus Daniel
One of the most important doctrines of the New Testament scriptures is the Hope of Resurrection. We will consider biblical answers to many interesting question such as: If we automatically go to heaven or hell at death, what is significance of the resurrection and judgment? What will life be like for people on earth after resurrection is passed?, etc.
The Clouds Of Heaven! If It Be Thy Will? If Sickness Was A Reality It Could Never Be Cured! Jehovah Rapha The Everlasting Redemptive Name Of God! The Ministry Of Condemnation! The Law Of Rituals! We Are Not Climbing The Mountain, We Are Already There! Another Excerpt From John G. Lake!
Is this old expression in the Bible? Can Christians say that this expression is true? Moses told Joshua to be strong and courageous. Jesus told us to fear not. Paul faced persecution.
Around the world, church buildings, many of them beautiful cathedrals, are being repurposed in many different ways - sometimes into locations for activities condemned by the Church.
Don't live out your relationship with God according to what others tell you. God wants to be closer to you than anyone else. And He will always provide everything you need. There are too many so-called church leaders who really don't care about you or God.
The Bible stands alone as an incredible ancient book. It is forcefully substantiated by thousands of ancient copies and thousands of fulfilled prophecies. It has always been powerful.
Almost 2,000 years ago the Paul, the Apostle, traveled to the city of Corinth in what is now Greece and founded a Christian church there. That city still exists. Paul loved and obeyed Jesus dearly.
That Jesus Christ died because He was crucified is a well-established historical fact. Anybody who looks close enough will find the truth. Why was His death necessary? Why follow an executed criminal?
What you say is very important to God. He is not casual about spoken words. Your words are your fruit, your produce, and you are known by the fruit you bear. Do your words give life? Or are they poisonous? You choose your own words.
Historical Context for the Bible: RevelationRick Bruderick
It is wise to consider the historical context in which are found the actual events of the particular Bible passages we are studying. The first book we present is the last book of the Bible, the Revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Focus on where you WANT to go. Fix your eyes on your target. Why? Because you will certainly go to what you are looking at. But you can decide where to look.
When American founders declared independence from England, they did it with reference to God the Creator. What was their motive? How is independence important in Christians today?
The Bible records events in which Jesus discusses His mother. He gave public credit to His followers for being His mothers and His brothers. Spiritual mothers should be honored.
God gave Moses the 10 Commandments, and hundreds of other laws. Human institutions always create rules, commandments, laws and bylaws to keep their members institutionally moral.
The One who made Heaven and Earth and all of us who dwell here didn't plan on it being permanent. It will all be destroyed, with only a few survivors. Who survives? Those who love God.
The world is a dangerous place, especially for those who are called to love God and neighbor. Will you be attacked and suffer? If Jesus would have protected Himself, there would be no Easter to celebrate.
In northern Kentucky, along I-75, is a full-scale replica of Noah's Ark and, just 30 minutes away, along I-275, is the Creation Museum. These sites are committed to the literal Holy Bible.
The authorities in our lives expect our silence and agreement. If we speak up, we will be punished, excluded, or worse. God expects us to fear Him above all others. Jesus taught the same.
Jesus demonstrated what it means to serve others and the early Church demonstrated what it means to serve each other. If we call ourselves Christians, then we become servants to others.
The Church needs leaders. Order, authority, and leadership are important to our loving Heavenly Father. However, it is within human nature to rebel and abuse authority. What did Jesus teach?

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

2. The Book of Psalms: Recognition of the kingship and sovereignty of God
God's Spirit is Like the Wind
1. God’s Spirit is like the Wind
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was
over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was
hovering over the waters.
Genesis 1:1-2
2. What happened this week:
Evolution Without Facts & Presuppositional Reason
- contradiction
The Strong Defense of Jesus' Claims to be God
- reason properly used
Cult Churches Selling Hyper-Spiritual Experiences
- wanting too much (original sin)
The Peaceful Passing of a Christian from Alzheimer’s
- what matters most
3. The Current Status of Living Things
Then Noah built an altar to the Lord and, taking some of all the clean
animals and clean birds, he sacrificed burnt offerings on it. The Lord
smelled the pleasing aroma and said in his heart: “Never again will I
curse the ground because of humans, even though every inclination of
the human heart is evil from childhood. And never again will I destroy
all living creatures, as I have done.
As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat,
summer and winter, day and night will never cease.”
Then God blessed Noah and his sons, saying to them, “Be fruitful and
increase in number and fill the earth. The fear and dread of you will fall
on all the beasts of the earth, and on all the birds in the sky, on every
creature that moves along the ground, and on all the fish in the sea;
they are given into your hands. Everything that lives and moves about
will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you
everything.”
Genesis 8:20-9:3
4. Can an Evolutionist be a Christian Believer?
Are they reborn?
Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom
of God unless they are born again.”
“How can someone be born when they are old?” Nicodemus
asked. “Surely they cannot enter a second time into their
mother’s womb to be born!”
Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the
kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit.
Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. You
should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You must be born again.’
The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you
cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with
everyone born of the Spirit.”
John 3:3-8
5. How does God Move? Like the Wind.
Can We Chase After the Wind? Like cult churches do?
Whoever watches the wind will not plant; whoever
looks at the clouds will not reap. As you do not know
the path of the wind, or how the body is formed in a
mother’s womb, so you cannot understand the work of
God, the Maker of all things.
Sow your seed in the morning, and at evening let your
hands not be idle, for you do not know which will
succeed, whether this or that, or whether both will do
equally well.
Ecclesiastes 11:4-6
6. Natural farmers or Missionaries (all who
obey Christ have been sent)? Both.
He said to the crowd: “When you see a cloud rising in the
west, immediately you say, ‘It’s going to rain,’ and it does.
And when the south wind blows, you say, ‘It’s going to be
hot,’ and it is.
Hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of
the earth and the sky. How is it that you don’t know how to
interpret this present time?
Why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right?”
Luke 12:54-57
Can those not reborn separate right and wrong? No, they can't.
They must first be born again. What's the first step? Repent!
The Lord ... said in his heart: “… every inclination of the human
heart is evil from childhood …” Genesis 8:21
8. Hyper Spiritual people chase the wind,
while most others fear it.
What is correct? Keep eyes on Jesus only!
After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray.
Later that night, he was there alone, and the boat was already a considerable
distance from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it. Shortly
before dawn Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake. When the disciples saw
him walking on the lake, they were terrified.
“It’s a ghost,” they said, and cried out in fear.
But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.”
“Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.”
“Come,” he said.
Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus.
But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord,
save me!”
Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he
said, “why did you doubt?”
And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down.
Matthew 14:23-32
9. God gives us the Holy Spirit
to Teach us His Thoughts
However, as it is written: “What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and
what no human mind has conceived” — the things God has prepared for
those who love him— these are the things God has revealed to us by his
Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. For who
knows a person’s thoughts except their own spirit within them?
In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.
What we have received is not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is
from God, so that we may understand what God has freely given us. This is
what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught
by the Spirit, explaining spiritual realities with Spirit-taught words. The person
without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God
but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they
are discerned only through the Spirit. The person with the Spirit makes
judgments about all things, but such a person is not subject to merely human
judgments,
1 Corinthians 2:9-15
10. Unbelievers Can't Understand the Truth
“Very truly I tell you, we speak of what we know,
and we testify to what we have seen, but still you
people do not accept our testimony. I have spoken
to you of earthly things and you do not believe;
how then will you believe if I speak of heavenly
things?”
John 3:11-12
11. Even believers must Pursue Understanding,
Without ever Doubting
If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God,
who gives generously to all without finding fault,
and it will be given to you. But when you ask,
you must believe and not doubt, because the
one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown
and tossed by the wind. That person should not
expect to receive anything from the Lord. Such a
person is double-minded and unstable in all
they do.
James 1:5-8
12. The Call:
This week, seek to believe more that
God's Spirit is available to teach you.
And learn. And encourage your brothers
and sisters in Christ to do the same.
Also, seek to lead unbelievers to
repentance and faith in Jesus, so that
they might receive the Holy Spirit and
finally begin to understand all things.
