Romans 8:26 (NKJV)“Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.”Today’s verse is one used many times in theological debates on tongues, or what is called praying in the Spirit. I’m not here to debate that point as it’s been one for far too long and caused church splits and division amongst believers far too long. What I am going to say is this is even deeper than just tongues or praying in the...

John 8:25 (NKJV)“Then they said to Him, "Who are You?" And Jesus said to them, "Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning.” It’s hard to tell the manner in which the Pharisees are asking this question. Are they being sincere or sarcastic? The way this is worded in the Greek doesn’t give a clear picture. Regardless, the Lord Jesus' response goes to further speak to the fact that He is not only God, but that He has been saying and revealing this since "the beginning" of His earthly ministry. Up to this point Jesus has claimed...

John 8:24 (NKJV)“Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for if you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins."Let's go back a few verses to start and continue reading through the full context of this portion of scripture.John 8:21-30 (NKJV)Then Jesus said to them again, “I am going away, and you will seek Me, and will die in your sin. Where I go you cannot come.” So the Jews said, “Will He kill Himself, because He says, ‘Where I go you cannot come’?” And He said to them, “You...

Acts 8:23 (NLT)“for I can see that you are full of bitter jealousy and are held captive by sin."Today's verse is the one that many take and cause them to lend themselves one of two ways. 1. Simon is not born again, and made a false confession followed by a worthless baptism Various commentators say- “He was STILL attached to the bitter "gall-root" of superstition and magic”; “he was STILL held fast in the bond of iniquity; he showed that he never had his heart truly humbled”; “he remained STILL "in the gall of bitterness and the bond of iniquity.”...

Acts 8:22 (NLT)“Repent of your wickedness and pray to the Lord. Perhaps he will forgive your evil thoughts,”In today’s verse we see the apostle Peter, using the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven that Jesus gave to him to use.Matthew 16:19 (NLT)“And I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven. Whatever you forbid on earth will be forbidden in heaven, and whatever you permit on earth will be permitted in heaven.”This verse as well as when it is further discussed in Matthew 18, are primarily today used as binding demonic spirits, and loosing blessings. This however is...
