    Walking in a dream…surreal, unbelievable…is this really happening? That must have been what God’s people experienced when the captivity was over in Babylon.

    1When the LORD restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dream. 2Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with shouts of joy; then it was said among the nations, “The LORD has done great things for them.” 3The LORD has done great things for us, and we rejoiced. 4Restore ...read more

    What we are seeing today is what is often described in Scripture as, “For the Lord has a day of vengeance, a year of retribution…” (Isaiah 34:8) What the world needs to see is a Body of Christ which is able to get “revelation” from God in desperate times-

    The False Prophets Of Nehemiah’s Day Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Feb 10, 2025
     | 574 views

    As strange as it may sound, even after years of captivity there were false prophets in the land of Israel. Nehemiah had to deal not only with rebuilding Jerusalem but also with a number of these false prophets!

    Introduction: False prophets didn’t die out when all Israel was carried off to captivity. At least two are mentioned by name, plus there was an unspecified group of other false prophets. All of them had one common goal, though, and that was to get Nehemiah discouraged, or as he put it, “[they] ...read more

    Rest, rest, rest. This is what I was told after my heart attck at age 34. It’s one thing to be told what you need to do, it’s another thing to be shown where the answer is.

    Just Get Some Rest! It’s funny that one of my favorite Bible verses, John 14:27, mentions the word “heart”. You see, I had a heart attack a couple of weeks ago, and that is one verse that I have been continually going back to. The KJV reads, “Let not your heart be troubled: neither let it be ...read more
