The created things reveal and declare the attributes and glory of the invisible God (Rom. 1:20), and God in Christ is universally vast and untraceably rich. The whole universe with the billions of things and persons in it was created for the purpose of describing Christ (Col. 1:15-17). Christ is all-inclusive, and He is the […]
Lord, Release us from Ourselves and Bring us on a High Mountain to See the Vision!
We need to have a heavenly vision that governs us, directs us, encourages us, and takes us on with the Lord, making us one with Him for His purpose. In order for us to have a heavenly vision from God we need to pray – we need to open to the Lord in prayer, asking […]

We praise the Lord for the truth in the Bible and for the recovery of the proper interpretation of the truth concerning the Spirit as the consummation of the Triune God. God became a man, lived a perfect human life on earth, died on the cross, and entered into resurrection to become “the Spirit” which […]
Receive the Helmet of Salvation and the Sword of the Spirit by Means of All Prayer
In exhorting us to take up the whole armor of God in Eph. 6, Paul puts the offensive weapon, the sword of the Spirit, at the very end. First, he encourages us to be girded with the truth (living Christ as the reality), put on the breastplate of righteousness (apply the blood of Christ to […]
