 My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you ~ Galatians 4:19 One of the greatest miracles of the world we live in is childbirth (how everyone came into this world asides from Adam and Eve). This process usually takes nine months, sometimes shorter or longer. During these nine months, the woman carrying the child experiences many changes and sometimes even great difficulties, which all culminate in the delivery of the child. The pain of that single day sometimes surpasses the pain of the past months, but the incredible thing is once the child is delivered and handed to the hand of the mother, she suddenly forgets all the pain she has gone through and is with joy beyond what words can describe.  Jesus said in Matthew 9:37-38: The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore, pray to the Lord of the harvest to send laborers into His harvest. If one were to paraphrase what Jesus said, it goes thus: There are a lot of children to be

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! ~ 2 Corinthians 5:17 As Leonard Ravenhill says: The greatest miracle on earth next to Jesus raised from the dead to the right of the Father in heaven is this: God will take a vile offender from this unclean world, transforms them to become holy, put them back on this earth, and sustain them to live, holy in this world. These holy men and women, in turn, become a light unto the world (Matthew 5:16) If there is ever a time when that light is needed more than ever is now. With all the darkness surrounding us in this world, the question arises: does God still perform this miracle? Was it just something that happened in history (because history shows us this indeed happened: one example that readily comes to mind is Saul later Apostle Paul) and is never meant to happen again? If God still performs this miracle now, how is it that we still live in such great darkness? I believe the answer to thes

  That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; - Philippians 3:10 It’s is a sad reality that most of us so-called professed Christians do not know Jesus. You say that can’t be true, but sadly it is. I dare to say that we only know the Jesus that lived on earth and not the risen Lord that is seated at the right hand of the Father in all of His glory, ever making intercession for the saints. It is even sadder that Lord does not know us. Oh, what will it be on that day of Judgement when the Lord says to some that profess to know Him, depart from me for I know you not? (Matthew 7:21-23)   From the opening chapter of Isaiah, we see that Isaiah has a vision from the Lord concerning Jerusalem and Judah which goes on from chapter 1 through chapter 5. In chapter 6, Isaiah has a vision of the Lord during which he says: “Woe to me!” I cried. “I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a pe

“I came to send fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled! ~ Luke 12:49 Fire is an element that is fascinating on earth. It consumes anything that stands in its path and leaves a visible trail wherever it goes. Fire also purifies whatever it touches. Throughout the Old Testament, we see the Lord recognize Himself with fire. When He appeared to Moses (Exodus 3:1-2), it was as the burning bush He led the children of Israel through the wilderness by a pillar of fire by night and pillar of cloud by day (Exodus 13:21). When confronted by the prophets of Baal, Elijah called down fire from God to show that He was serving a living God (1 Kings 18:24). In the New Testament, the writer of Hebrews states that our God is a consuming fire (Hebrews 12:29). When He was still on earth, Jesus Christ said He had come to bring fire (Luke 12:49). What is this fire supposed to do? Jesus explains that the fire is there to bring about division. Our God is jealous, and He will have nothing sta
