1 Thessalonians‬ ‭4:3-8‬ ‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬“For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you should abstain from sexual immorality; that each of you should know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor, not in passion of lust, like the Gentiles who do not know God; that no one should take advantage of and defraud his brother in this matter, because the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also forewarned you and testified. For God did not call us to uncleanness, but in holiness. Therefore he who rejects this does not reject man, but God,...

We must understand that the Holy Ghost has different functions in the Scripture. There is the convicting the world of sin (John 16:8), the revealing and equipping function (Isaiah 61:1-2, Luke 4:18-19, John 14:26; 16:13) and the saving function of the Holy Ghost (Matthew 28:19, Mark 16:16, Titus 3:4-7). In Joel 2:28-32 it was prophesied that miraculous power from the Holy Ghost would come upon certain individuals in equipping them with miraculous gifts in the infant church (Acts 2- Jews, Acts 10:47- Gentiles).

His going forth is as certain as the dawn; And He will come to us like the rain, Like the spring rain watering the earth. Sow with a view to righteousness, Reap in accordance with kindness; Break up your fallow...

Many people think that repentance and remorse are the same thing. They wrongly believe that repentance is some sort of spiritual “fire insurance policy or get-out-of-jail-free card” that allows them to admit fault, ask for forgiveness, and then go right back into the same sin filled life again. The truth is what must be seen is personal change and transformation, not just remorse, regret, and sorrow. What does it actually mean to repent? The word repent is a very important word found all throughout scripture. The first instances where this word is used in the New Testament are in Matthew...

Genesis 1:1 to Revelation 22:21: Let’s look at the letter that the Word of God begins and ends with to see if we can see anything significant.  Genesis 1:1 says, “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” We must look to the original Hebrew text to see what the first letter used is. Below is the verse in Hebrew: בְּרֵאשִׁית בָּרָא אֱלֹהִים אֵת הַשָּׁמַיִם וְאֵת הָאָרֶץ׃ The first letter is בְּ which is the second letter of the Hebrew alphabet called “Bet” Now let's look at the last word in scripture. The last verse is Revelation 22:21...
