Seek GOD's Blessing which He Alone Can Bestow

"I will pour My Spirit upon thy seed, and My blessing upon thine offspring." -Isaiah 44:3 [KJV] In pouring out His Spirit upon Zion's seed, God pours out therewith every spiritual blessing that there is in His heart or hands to bestow. Whatever earthly good you may enjoy, without the blessing of God it will but prove a curse; whatever afflictions fall to your earthly lot, if God bless, they must all eventually be made a blessing. Nor is this blessing niggardly given, for the Lord has here promised that He will pour it out! It shall be given as profusely and as abundantly as the Spirit Himself. Nor shall Zion doubt either the blessing itself or the source whence it comes, for it carries its own evidence, shines in the light of its own testimony, and manifests itself by its own effects.  And does not the contrast between the dry ground and the promised showers of blessing enhance it all the more? Your very barrenness and sterility make the promise all the more suitable, an...

JOYFUL TRUTH TO MISERABLE SINNERS

"By the obedience of one, ( or by ONE obedience ) shall many be made righteous."   - Romans 5:19 [KJV]   J oyful truth to miserable sinners. O that this word was ever upon our minds, “My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are My ways your ways, saith the LORD” (Isaiah 55:8.) Our thoughts are, to make ourselves righteous by our own obedience; and our ways are, to be justified before God by our own righteousness. But the Lord calls us to forsake these unrighteous thoughts , as well as wicked ways, and to submit by faith, to His thoughts and His ways, to be made righteous by the obedience of ONE.     Consider, (1st.) this negative implies that no obedience but ONE, can make any sinner righteous. O professor, what art thou seeking after, and striving to be and to do? What is the end of thy praying, reading, hearing, communicating, striving against sin, and seeking to excel in obedience, etc.? Is it to make thyself righteous? then it all proceeds from unbelief of...

A Solemn Transaction betweeen GOD & His people

"Thou hast avouched the LORD this day to be thy God.—And the LORD hath avouched thee this day to be His peculiar people." -Deuteronomy 26:17, 18 [KJV]   What a most lovely view doth this scripture hold forth of the solemn transaction between God and His people! What an amazing thought, that the High and Holy One, who inhabiteth eternity, should condescend to propose and confirm such a covenant! and, my soul, dost thou think that, in the charter of grace, sealed as it is in the blood of God's dear Son, this covenant is less blessed or less sure? Doth not God confirm it in every promise? Is it not read and ratified in every ordinance? And doth not that Holy Spirit of promi se set his seal to the whole, "whereby we are sealed unto the day of redemption?"   Pause over the blissful subject! Ponder it well, this solemn evening! Surely, every service, every ordinance in the church of Jesus, becomes a confirmation of the blessed truth. What, indeed, is the gospel itsel...

Promises Poured Into the Soul

"And floods upon the dry ground." -Isaiah 44:3 [KJV]   How often does the soul, born and taught of God, feel that it is this "dry ground!" It would fain be fruitful in every good word and work; it would be adorned with every grace of the Spirit within, and with every good and godly fruit without. Let no one think that the child of God is careless or indifferent either as to inward or outward fruit. There is nothing too holy, too heavenly, too spiritual, or too gracious which the child of grace would not desire inwardly to experience and outwardly produce. But he feels that he cannot by any exertion of his own produce this fruitfulness after which he sighs. As well might a barren field convert itself into a fruitful garden without being tilled by human hand or without rain from the sky, as a soul that feels and knows its own barrenness produce by its own exertions a crop of the fruits of righteousness.    But the Lord that knows the desire of the heart, and its inw...

The Wednesday Word ~ 09 September, 2026 A.D.

The Loveliness of Jesus   by D G Miles McKee In Christ Jesus we discover who God is and what He is like.  In Christ alone we also discover the standard of excellence for man.  What a marvel Christ is --- God and man in one person; there has never ever been anyone like Him! Consider this; the greatest of people are usually flawed. Alexander, for example, was a great warrior, but you couldn’t trust him around women. Einstein was brilliant, but he was also a sex maniac. Gandhi, the great peace-loving leader of India once paid a complement to Adolph Hitler. The best of men are men at best, we are all flawed, all that is except for Christ Jesus. In all the annals of human history, Jesus Christ remains the only one of whom it can be truthfully asserted, "He is altogether lovely , ” (Song of Solomon 5:16). He is altogether lovely because He is the out-shining of the Father’s glory. He is the glory of God against whom we are measured, and all fall short. Nevertheless, flaw...

Audio Gospel Sermon ~ "Mysteries Hidden & Revealed"

Gospel Mysteries Hidden & Revealed  Salvation Is Hidden in Christ   Sermon preached by Henry T. Mahan (28 minutes): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfSHeLesEx8   What are the mysteries of the Gospel, and why did Jesus say that God has hidden these things from the wise and prudent but revealed them unto babes? In this powerful sermon from Matthew 11:25 , we explore the profound truth that the mysteries of salvation, eternal life, forgiveness, grace, and the knowledge of God are found in Jesus Christ alone. Jesus Christ came into the world to seek and save the lost, yet He was rejected by the religious leaders, the powerful, the wealthy, and the worldly wise. Why? Because the natural man cannot understand the things of God without divine revelation.  This message examines five important questions: 1 . What are the “things” hidden from the wise? 2. Where are these things hidden? 3. From whom are they hidden? 4. How is the knowledge of these things obtained? 5...

The Very Essense of Delusion ~ Critical Report to Follow

"And He spake this parable unto certain who trusted in themselves that they were righteous."   - as per Christ JESUS our LORD (Luke 18:9.)   Christ came into the world to save sinners from their sins into all holiness of heart and life. His gospel requires the strictest purity in walk and conversation. Those who have experienced its power, find their souls formed for this. But a self-righteous spirit is as odious (-foul smelling) to Christ, and as contrary to the genius of His gospel, as a profane swearer . Hence He spake this parable against such.    See (1st.) who are here reproved. Every one who places his trust or confidence in any works of righteousness which he has done, or can do, to make himself righteous before God, or to justify himself, first or last, in whole or in part in God’s sight. Such are properly Pharisees, or self-righteous persons. Lord, keep our souls humble before Thee, that we fall not into this cursed pride and dangerous delusion . But such...
