    From The Book “the Power Of The Spirit" By William Law

    Contributed by David Leach on May 31, 2014
     | 5,022 views

    All truth about God must be revealed by God – and can only be known by a person’s heart

    "The things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God" (1Cor. 2:11). Without the present illumination of the Holy Spirit, the Word of God must remain a dead letter to every man, no matter how intelligent or well-educated he may be. The things of God "are spiritually discerned" (2:14), and ...read more

    Jesus died when He wasn't guilty - for us when we were guilty. The price of freedom, both civil and spiritual, is innocent blood

    Innocent Blood Mark 15:15-41 • As we have worked our way through the gospel of Mark, we have learned many things. It has been more than a little interesting how we have “stumbled” on to the perfect text for the perfect day. It is no accident that we are where we are today! ...read more

    We have promises in the bible that guarantee us the right to come to God and get whatever we need.

    "Let us therefore come boldly to the throne, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in the time of need." Hebrews 4:16 When I was young going to a birthday party was a big deal for me. I lived in a small community in Oklahoma called Mountain View, so there was just a small handful of ...read more

    In poker, the odds determine the winning hand. This same scenario played out in Christ's life: four of a kind beat the challenge of a full house. Four friends were able, against all obstacles and hindrances, to get their friend to Jesus. May we love thus!

    We live in a time just before God's judgment on a corrupted world. So did Enoch. He got his own personal rapture; so can you. Four characteristics made him a candidate for that glorious event the same will qualify us too!

    THE GREAT DISAPPEARANCE Gen. 5:21-24 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: HER AGE 1. A nurse was writing down necessary information about a new patient, in preparation for her physical examination.

    Once each year, Christmas comes around again to remind us that God's Son has come to earth...and now we must do the singing! He came to earth to save us and reconcile us to the God who made us and loves us.

    Well, it's all over with. The weeks of preparation, the four weeks of Advent, the pageants and concerts, the shopping, gift-wrapping, delivering, waiting for loved ones to come...it's all over, and the celebrations can begin. There's no better way to celebrate this joyous night than by singing. In ...read more

    Have you prayed, and prayed, and there still seems to be no answer? Does it seem as if God is asleep, and absent from your cry? Don't give up, don't lose heart, don't quit now, but just keep praying until the answer comes.

    A group of male seminary students were gathered in the chapel one day. The dean of the seminary was challenging the students in the area of prayer. He instructed them to be careful what they asked God for. He said, "Men, don't ask God for a big church, because of the stress, problems and worries ...read more

What causes you to work the way you do? What happens to all you have worked for when you exit ...read more
