The Great Chasm

There is a great chasm that divides the physical realm and the spiritual realm. God is spirit. So there must be some kind of a spiritual environment just as we have the physical environment. God says heaven is his throne, so heaven must really be awesome because that is where God dwells. We get a glimpse in the book of revelations because it says there that the streets there are paved with gold.

But apparently, there is a great chasm that divides heaven and earth because it is impossible for us to cross to the other side. Not until we die. And surprisingly, the guys in the heavenlies can cross over. Angels can manifest themselves. Unclean spirits can manifest themselves. God can manifest himself. And what is more is that God has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. So how do we get those blessings since our physical bodies seems to be incapable of crossing into the heavenly places?

It just occurred to me... that all wonderful saying of the Lord, "my words are spirit and they are life." It is through the Word of God that we are able to access the heavenlies! By confessing His words, we access the spiritual realms! When we speak a heavenly language, we cross over!

And so I have resolved in my heart, whatever the circumstance is, still I will confess what the Bible says. If God is says I am blessed, no situation on earth can make me confess the opposite! I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me! No weapon fashioned against me shall prosper! And about Zion, as the Prophet Isaiah declares: "And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity."

Come to think of it, I have crossed over. : )

Why Faith?

Why faith? What is there that we need to know about faith? Why is it that without faith it is impossible to please God? Why did the Lord say, according to your faith be it done unto you? And a lot of times did He say, rise and go your way, your faith has made you well. What is faith? One thing is settled in my heart. It’s not really something so out of this world or something so mind blowing. The Bible does not refer to a special thing or meaning when it talks about faith, or some great mystery hidden behind it. It is as plain and simple as described in the common dictionary. Faith is but the strong belief or conviction in one’s heart. What ever you believe in, that is where your faith is. So when God talks about faith, He means a strong conviction in one’s heart, not doubting, but a firm unwavering conviction that His Word is a settled truth, not subject to debate or argument or whatever. It is settled. Walking by faith and not by sight simply means that we don’t change what we be

The Genealogy and the Gospel of Christ

That I have been introduced to two individuals now who strongly subscribe to John Calvin’s doctrines has got me thinking seriously about this subject. And so for more than a couple of months now, my reading of the Scriptures has been greatly influenced and directed towards the subject of election and predestination and God’s exercise of His absolutely sovereign  will. The book of genealogies never appealed to me and I never really got any significance from it. But today as I read through those genealogies again, something hit me really strongly. The book of genealogies actually is evidence of the move of the mighty hand of God to preserve a people for Himself. In Genesis chapter 5, at verse 4 it says: “The days of Adam after he fathered Seth were 800 years; and he had other sons and daughters.” I asked myself: What about the other sons and daughters were they not significant to God? The answer came rather quickly. They were all significant, but Seth was more significant because alon

Working Out Salvation

Php 2:12-15 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. (13) For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. (14) Do all things without murmurings and disputings: (15) That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;  Just to remove the misconstruction here, ‘work out’ is not synonymous with ‘work for’. The former means to develop while the latter means to earn. Salvation is not earned. It is freely given of God. He made it that way so that no one can boast. But salvation needs to be developed so that we may reap its fruits. Christians struggle with their faith because after that they have received the Lord Jesus they still face the same problems, the same struggles, the same circumstances even long after that they became
