SICKNESS AND DEMON SPIRITS There is a difference between sickness and demon oppression or possession. Let’s look at some verses. Acts 5:16: “ There came a multitude out of the cities round about unto Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with unclean spirits; and they were healed every one.” Notice that they brought sick folk and as well as those that were vexed by unclean spirits. Also in Matthew 10:8: Jesus was sending out the twelve apostles and He said

Israel in Bondage to the Egyptians! Why? Only God knows all His reason for such a situation, but the scriptures do give us some insight. In Gen. 15:8, Abram asks “How shall I know that I shall inherit it”. God had promised him a land for inheritance. He seems to be asking for some conformation, so in verse 13, God gives him conformation. His heirs would serve and be afflicted 400 years. Then they would inherit the land (Gen. 15:16). This bondage may have already been in Gods

Atheist: A person who denies or disbelieves the existence of a supreme being or beings. Do you have knowledge of everything? Do you have all knowledge? If not, how can you be sure that the knowledge of God doesn’t exist outside of your realm of knowledge? Unless you have all knowledge, it is not reasonable to claim to be an atheist. Without all knowledge it is only reasonable to have some doubt. This doubt means that you are not an atheist, but an agnostic. Agnostic: One wh

In the scriptures there are two types of sin. One type brings guilt; the other does not. Therefore, one brings judgment; the other does not. Distinction is made between these two types of sin all through the Bible. Let’s look at some references. First in Numbers 15:27-28: And if any person sins unintentionally, then he shall bring a female goat in its first year as a sin offering. So the priest shall make an atonement for the person who sins unintentionally, when he sins unin

We are inundated with various versions of the Holy Bible. Most differ. Many differ greatly. Why is that? How are we to know which to choose? Start by reading the preface. There you should be able to determine whether the version is a translation or a paraphrase. A translation will be an effort to translate the words of the original text. A paraphrase will be an effort to translate the meaning of the original text. The paraphrase will express the meaning of the text as the wri

There is much being said by Christian speakers about "claiming" various things. These things range from needs, to wealth, to health, to souls. But is all of this scriptural? Is any of this scriptural? To "claim" means to seek to possess on the basis of right or authority. To claim without the right or authority will get you nothing. But do we have the right or authority to claim things? This "claiming" should be based on the word of God and is an outgrowth of our "faith". Whe

Did Methuselah Drown? Maybe! The oldest man on record, Methuselah, lived to be 969 years old. He was Noah’s grandfather. He died in the year of the flood. Were The Wicked Warned? I think so. The prophet Enoch warned them (Jude 14-15). Noah was a preacher of righteousness (2 Peter 2:5). Also, God’s Spirit did strive with them (Genesis 6:3). A prophet, a preacher and the Spirit of God but no revival. Why Did Noah Find Grace? Genesis 6:6-9 gives us three reasons. Noah was a jus

Often people are quick to lead a person to a profession of Jesus as Savior. If they are not careful, they may over-simplify the route to salvation and thereby have only a PROFESSOR instead of a POSSESSOR. We should never make salvation easier or harder to be had than the Lord intended for it to be. Acts 16:31 says, " Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved". When the Bible said "believe", does it mean to acknowledge the existence of Jesus as a historical pers

John the Baptist spoke of such :  “I indeed baptize you with water but one mightier than I is coming, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire”. (Luke 3:16) Jesus spoke of such :   “For John truly baptized with water; but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now”.  (Acts 1:5)   Peter & Joel spoke of such:   “But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; and it shall come to pas

Adultery: The unfaithfulness of a married person to the marriage bed; sexual intercourse by a married man with another than his wife, or voluntary sexual intercourse by a married woman with another than her husband.          Note: It is adultery on the part of the married wrongdoer. The word has also been used to characterize the act of an unmarried participator, the other being married. In the United States the definition varies with the local statutes. Unlawful intercourse
