Psalms 26:7 - “That I may publish (proclaim) with voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works.” We are entering into a season of praise and thanksgiving.   In the coming days we will gather with our families and friends to celebrate Thanksgiving.   People will travel great distances to gather around the table and share a meal of thanksgiving.   This is a wonderful holiday and we should enjoy the time we spend with our family and friends.   Worship involves a number of elements.   Two elements that are closely related are thanksgiving and praise.   Though they are similar there are differences.   Praise is a powerful weapon to be used against the enemy of our soul in spiritual warfare.   Praise nourishes the soul, prepares the heart to become pure, and builds us up in faith.   The twin sister of praise is thanksgiving.   These two elements of prayer look alike, perform alike and come from the sa...

Genesis 1:1-5   – “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. So the evening and the morning were the first day.”             God spoke the world into existence.  Hebrews 11:3 says, “By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.” Throughout the first chapter of Genesis it reads, “Then God said.”  Psalms 33:6-7 says, “By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, And all the ...

Joshua 6:1-5   – “Now Jericho was securely shut up because of the children of Israel; none went out, and none came in. And the Lord said to Joshua: “See! I have given Jericho into your hand, its king, and the mighty men of valor. You shall march around the city, all you men of war; you shall go all around the city once. This you shall do six days. And seven priests shall bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark. But the seventh day you shall march around the city seven times, and the priests shall blow the trumpets. It shall come to pass, when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, and when you hear the sound of the trumpet, that all the people shall shout with a great shout; then the wall of the city will fall down flat. And the people shall go up every man straight before him.”              There is a larg...

The Feast of Tabernacles In the Twenty-third chapter of Leviticus the Lord spoke to Moses about establishing seven major feasts.    Leviticus 23:1-2 reads, “And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, ‘ Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them:    ‘the feasts of the LORD, which you shall proclaim  to be holy convocations, these are My feasts.’” The first of these seven feasts is Passover. Passover always comes in the first month of the year on the Hebrew religious calendar.    The seventh and last of the feasts comes in the fall of the year in the seventh month.    It is the Feast of Tabernacles. Although there is a total of seven feasts (the divine number for perfection or completeness in the Bible), God divided the seven festivals into three major festival seasons. Every male was to present themselves before the Lord three times in a year in each festival group.    The Jewish male would travel to Jerusalem for Pass...

In the early twentieth century, an outpouring of the Holy Spirit forever changed the world.   This revival that gave birth to what was later called the Pentecostal movement.   The Pentecostal-Charismatic movement today numbers approximately six hundred million. This revival had its roots in the holiness movements of the late 1800s and the revival that began in Topeka, Kansas, and later spread to the Asuza Street Mission in Los Angeles, California.   One of the characteristics of this revival was the Infilling of the Holy Spirit accompanied by speaking with other tongues.   This experience is defined in the Bible as the “Baptism of the Holy Spirit.”   What does it mean to be baptized in the Holy Spirit?   It means to be immersed into the Holy Spirit, to be in-filled with the power of the Holy Spirit so that we might live an overcoming life.   In Matthew 3:11 – John the Baptist gave this prophecy, “I indeed baptize you with water ...
