When Peter walked on the water and saw the boisterous waves, the howling wind and began to sink, he simply prayed, “Lord save me.” A certain woman of Canaan, whom the Lord referred to as a Gentile dog, had a possessed daughter, and in seeking mercy for her she prayed, “Lord help me.” The thief […]

Psa. 31:23 O love the LORD, all ye his saints: for the LORD preserveth the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer. Psa. 31:24 Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD. “Thou Knowest” John 21:17 When the Lord asked his fallen servant, Peter, “Lovest thou me?” Peter […]

So obvious to the believer in the Lord Jesus is the presence of the old man within and therefore his own doubts concerning his sincerity to Christ, that the finds himself continually flying back to Christ Jesus, his only Hope of security, assurance and comfort. While the natural man finds false peace in his own […]

BLOOD BEFORE THE LORD Note in scripture how many times the blood is said to be “before the Lord.”   Whether any man saw it or not was of small account, for it was offered for sin “before the Lord.”   When the Passover Lamb was slain in Egypt, where was the blood placed? It […]
