Psalms 8:2 "Through the praise of children and infants, you have established a stronghold against your enemies, to silence the FOE and the AVENGER. David knew the secret of dealing with the enemy, by offering praise to God. Children are the weakest, but when they praise God, the effect is to SILENCE the FOE and AVENGER. The devil is our foe and the avenger out to destroy us. Praise stops and silences Satan and his accusations. 1 Samuel 17:1 The philistines/Goliath

Ruth 1:16-17 – Where you go, I will go, where you live, I will live. Your people will be my people, and your God will be my God. Where you die, I will die and there I will be buried. Naomi was at the very bottom of her grief cycle – bitter, resentful and full of self-pity. Ruth gave up everything she had to stay with Naomi up to the end back home. This is a perfect example of the sacrifice Christ made for us, that while we were at our lowest,

Genesis 16:1-14 v6 Hagar runs away because of mistreatment v7 The angel of the LORD (Jesus) found her, beside a spring in the WILDERNESS v9 The angel of the LORD commands her to return to her mistress, and submit to her authority (in 3, she had treated Sarah her mistress with contempt) v10 By obeying, she would be blessed (God will give her justice) v11 She was given Ishmael (meaning God hears), for the LORD heard the cry of her DISTRESS. v13 You

The believers in Corinth wondered how the dead will be raised and with what kind of bodies. 1 Corinthians 15:35-58 shows how the resurrected bodies will be like. They will be glories, immortal and spiritual/heavenly bodies at the sound of the trumpet to live forever. The analogy of a SEED: v36 A seed cannot GROW until it first DIES, v37 What you put (plant) in the ground is not the PLANT that will GROW, but only a bare SEED of wheat or whatever you

The subjects of worship and giving cannot be separated. Worship encompasses both the spiritual aspect of loving God, spirit, soul and body, but also the tangible worship to God with giving of our material substance and time. In fact if you consider both the Tabernacle of Moses and Solomon, the people first had to give both financially and of their time and talents to build the places of worship. God asked them to first sacrifice their wealth in order

Galatians 5:9 -  A little yeast works through the whole dough Time when the foundations [Body] will start to shake "When King David was very old, he could not keep warm even when they put covers over him." 1 Kings 1:1 When a Generation Dies (What are you leaving for the next generation?): Now Joseph and all his brothers and all that generation died, Exodus 1:6 NIV Then a new king, to whom Joseph meant nothing, came to power in Egypt. Exodus 1:8

Doctrine Correction Chapter 1 JESUS IS THE FINAL WORD Hebrews 1:1-2 - Jesus is God: Hebrews 1:3 v3 The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven. - Jesus is Superior to Angels Hebrews 1:4 v4 So he became as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is superior

Chapter 1: a. A call to return to God will not always remain (Mercy will not always be available, after the offer for mercy, then comes judgement). Therefore tell the people: This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘Return to me,’ declares the Lord Almighty, ‘and I will return to you,’ says the Lord Almighty. Zechariah 1:3 Do not be like your ancestors, to whom the earlier prophets proclaimed: This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘Turn from

I Kings 17:7  "And it came to pass after a while, that the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land." During a season of drought, God told the prophet Elijah to go hide by the brook called Cherith.  While Elijah was there, he drank water from the brook and ate bread and meat that the ravens brought to him every morning and evening.  Things seemed to be fine for a season and God provided everything that Elijah needed.  But after

A story is told of a little boy and his father, who visited a shop belonging to the father's friend and upon leaving the shop, the owner of the shop offered the little boy some free Sweets... “Get a hand full of Sweets", the merchant said to the boy. The boy just stood there looking up at his father. The owner repeated himself:- “Son get a hand full of Sweets... it’s free.” Again the boy did not move, continuing to look up in the face of
