THE NEW TEMPLE PRIESTHOOD
Please carefully read Ezekiel 44:15–16. The Hebrew name Zadok means “right or righteous.” Ezekiel here is referring to a man named Zadok who served as a priest during David’s reign. This righteous man never wavered in his faithfulness to David or to the L ... read more
THE OTHER SIDE OF COMMUNION
Walking in God’s glory means not only that we receive the Father’s love, but that we love him back as well. It’s about mutual affection, both giving and receiving love. The Bible tells us, “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with a ... read more
THE PATH OF SURRENDER
God begins the process of surrender by knocking us off our high horse. This literally happened to Paul. He was going his self-assured way, riding toward Damascus, when a blinding light came from heaven. Paul was knocked to the ground, trembling. Then a vo ... read more
THE PIERCING ARROWS OF HOLY TRUTH
I believe God has to accomplish a work in us before we can lay claim to any covenant promise. What is this precedent work upon which all others depend? Jeremiah tells us: “I will put My fear in their hearts so that they will not depart from Me” (Jeremiah ... read more
The Power Of Forgiveness
Forgiveness is not just a one-time act, but a way of life, meant to bring us into every blessing in Christ. “I say unto you. Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and p ... read more
THE POWER OF STAYING GREEN
I was led to read and study Revelation 9, the chapter on the locusts. As I read verse 4, about God’s command to the locusts not to destroy anything green, a thought leaped out at me.
I realized that here was the key to remaining safe in any time of t ... read more
THE POWER OF THE SPIRIT TO DELIVER
“Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us” (2 Corinthians 1:10). What an incredible statement! Paul is saying, “The Spirit delivered me out of a hopeless situation. He’s delivering me even no ... read more
THE PRAYER OF UNBELIEF
You’ve heard of the prayer of faith. I believe there is a mirror image of this prayer, a prayer that is based on flesh. I call it the prayer of unbelief.
I want to pose a question to you. Have you ever heard the Lord tell you, “Quit praying—get up off ... read more
THE PRESENT GENERATION KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT ENDURANCE
To endure means “to carry through despite hardships; to suffer patiently without giving up.” In short, it means to hold on or hold out. But this word means little to the present generation. Many Christians today are quitters—they quit on their spouses, ... read more
THE PREVENTING LOVE OF THE LORD
Thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness: thou settest a crown of pure gold on his head” (Psalm 21:3). At first glance, this verse by David is a bit puzzling. The word “prevent” is usually associated with hindrance, not with blessing. A modern t ... read more
THE PRODIGAL AND HIS FATHER
I believe the prodigal son (see Luke 15) came home because of his history with his father. This young man knew his father’s character, and apparently he had received great love from him. Otherwise, why would he return to a man who would have been angry ... read more
THE PROMISED LAND
I believe that Psalm 46 is a picture of the New Testament “promised land.” Indeed, Psalm 46 represents the divine rest referred to in Hebrews: “There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God” (Hebrews 4:9). This Psalm describes this rest to God’s ... read more
THE REASON FOR TEMPTATION
Temptation is an invitation or an enticement to commit an immoral act. Right now Satan is raging over the earth as a roaring lion trying to devour Christians through powerful enticements toward immorality. No one is immune and the closer you get to God, ... read more
THE REVELATION OF GOD’S LOVE
I was stirred recently by the Holy Spirit and he led me to this passage: “Ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto ete ... read more
The Revival
I have been receiving a number of letters asking my opinion about certain "revivals" in Canada and the USA. I have been told, "Brother Dave, your name is frequently used in the ------- revival. Times Square Church is named often. Does this mean you app ... read more
THE ROOT OF FEAR
“If iniquity were in your hand, and you put it far away,
And would not let wickedness dwell in your tents;
Then surely you could lift up your face without spot;
Yes, you could be steadfast, and not fear” (Job 11:14-15).
All fear can be traced
To a ... read more
THE SACRIFICE OF THANKSGIVING
One of the most important verses in all of Scripture is found in Peter’s first epistle. The apostle speaks of the necessity of having our faith tested: “That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried ... read more
The Same Glory
“He that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him” (John 14:21). “That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us…and the glory which thou gavest me ... read more
The Samuel Company
Where are the Samuels who have heard the voice of God, who have been awakened by the Holy Spirit and have received a revelation of soon-coming judgments upon a backslidden Church? Why aren't all preachers of the Gospel grieving over the sinful condition o ... read more
THE SECRET CLOSET
“Thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut the door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly” (Matthew 6:6).
In the past I’ve taught that because of the demand ... read more
THE SECRET OF GOD’S PRESENCE
In Psalm 31, David introduces us to the phrase “the secret of thy presence.” He writes, “Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men! Thou shalt ... read more
THE SECRET OF SPIRITUAL STRENGTH
“For thus saith the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength” (Isaiah 30:15).
Here is God’s secret to spiritual strength: “Quietness and confidence shall be your ... read more
THE SECRET OF STRENGTH
Yet the righteous will hold to his way,
And he who has clean hands will be stronger
and stronger” (Job 17:9).
Men are losing their grip on life,
Mockers abound—
Provocation on all sides.
Wise men can’t be found.
When beds are made in darkness
Co ... read more
THE SECRETS OF THE LORD
Matthew tells us Jesus spoke to the crowds in parables: “All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in ... read more
THE SPOILS OF SPIRITUAL WARFARE
“Out of the spoils won in battles did they dedicate to maintain the house of the Lord” (1 Chronicles 26:27). This verse opens to us a profound, life-changing truth. It speaks of spoils that can only be won in battle. And once these spoils are won, they ... read more
THE SURRENDERED LIFE
“Surrender.” What does this word tell you? In literal terms, surrender means “to give up something to another person.” It also means to relinquish something granted to you. This could include your possessions, power, goals, even your life.
Christians ... read more
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
Most of America knows that the Supreme Court of the United States has ruled the Ten Commandments cannot be displayed in any government courthouse. This landmark decision has been covered exhaustively by the media. But what does the ruling mean?
A cou ... read more
THE TRUE MEANING OF THE PROMISED LAND
God gave our forefather Abraham the land of Canaan “for an everlasting possession” (Genesis 17:8). In Hebrew, the word everlasting means never-ending. You might think, “Abraham had to rejoice over this. God promised his descendants a permanent homeland, ... read more
The Ultimate Test Of Faith
There comes a time in the life of every believer—as well as in the church—when God puts us to the ultimate test of faith. It’s the same test Israel faced on the wilderness side of the Jordan. What is this test?
It is to look at all the dangers ahead— ... read more
THE UNREASONABLENESS OF FAITH
When God says to humankind, “Believe,” he demands something that’s wholly beyond reason. Faith is totally illogical. Its very definition has to do with something unreasonable. Think about it: Hebrews says faith is the substance of something hoped for, evi ... read more
THE UNRELENTING LOVE OF GOD
I want to talk with you about the word unrelenting. It means undiminished in intensity or effort—unyielding, uncompromising, incapable of being changed or persuaded by arguments. To be unrelenting is to stick to a determined course.
What a marvelous ... read more
THE WITNESS OF THE SPIRIT!
“And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth” (1John 5:6).
There are times when the Holy Ghost’s inner witness will not allow me to keep quiet. The Spirit rises within me and I have to speak up.
The Holy Spirit abides in u ... read more
THE “FULLY PREACHED” GOSPEL
The apostle Paul said to his generation: “I have fully preached the gospel of Christ” (Romans 15:19). And he described the “fully preached” gospel as one that is much more than words. It is a gospel of words and deeds! “For I will not dare to speak of any ... read more
THESE MEN HAVE BEEN WITH JESUS
In Acts 3, we find Peter and John going to the temple to worship. Just outside the temple gate sat a beggar who had been crippled from birth. This man had never walked a step in his life. When he saw Peter and John, he asked them for alms. Peter answered ... read more
THEY HAD THE LIFE AND THE LIGHT
The church of Jesus Christ lacks spiritual authority in society because it lacks spirituality.
Why are our government leaders and the media so condescending to Christians? Why has the church lost all meaning and purpose in the world’s eyes? Why have ... read more
Through It All
As Paul faced his court trial in Rome, he was held under horrible conditions (see Philippians 1:13-14). He was guarded around the clock by soldiers of the Praetorian guard, his feet chained to a soldier on either side. These men were crude, hardened, cu ... read more
TO DIE IS GAIN?
Paul said it: “To die is gain” (Philippians 1:21). That kind of talk is absolutely foreign to our modern spiritual vocabularies. We have become such life worshippers, that we have very little desire to depart to be with the Lord.
Paul said, “I am in a ... read more
TO GOD BE ALL PRAISE AND GLORY
As I sat at my desk asking the Lord how I could bless you, I was moved simply to give you something from his Word.
I offer the following Scriptures, trusting that at least one of them will be a word just for you. I know God is faithful to send us a s ... read more
TO KNOW HIS VOICE
Those who truly know God have learned how to recognize his voice above all others. He wants you to be absolutely convinced that he desires to talk to you—to tell you things you’ve never seen or heard before.
I believe that three things are required of ... read more
TRIUMPHANT CHURCH
There is a triumphant church rising up even now, coming out of great trials of faith.
This last-days church is emerging from fiery furnaces and long days of affliction. So, you ask, what does God plan to do?
What I see happening is the Holy Spirit ... read more
TRUE COMMUNION
Many Christians talk about intimacy with the Lord, walking with him, knowing him, having fellowship with him. But we can’t have true communion with God unless we receive into our hearts the full revelation of his love, grace and mercy.
Communion with G ... read more
TWO KINDS OF LOVE
The Father has two kinds of love: a general love for all sinners and a special love for all who are in His family. God’s general love for mankind can be embraced by anyone who comes to Him in repentance. But God’s heart is also filled with another kind of ... read more
UNDEFILED IN THE MIDST OF WICKEDNESS
“But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might defile himself” (Daniel 1:8).
The word defile he ... read more
UNDER THE RULE OF GRACE
The prodigal son needed what the apostle Paul calls the “renewing of the mind.” I love reading these words from the parable: “But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his ... read more
VICTORY OVER YOUR BESETTING SIN
Sin causes Christians to become craven cowards who live in humiliating defeat. They can’t stand up with courage against sin because of the secret sin in their own lives. They excuse the sins of others because of the disobedience in their own hearts and th ... read more
WALK AS A NEW MAN
You know the story. A young man took his portion of his father’s inheritance and squandered it on riotous living. He ended up broken, ruined in health and spirit, and at his lowest point he decided to return to his father. Scripture tells us, “He arose, ... read more
WALKING IN THE GLORY
One thing that can keep us going in the coming hard times is an understanding of God’s glory. Now, this may sound like a high, lofty concept to you, one that’s best left to theologians. But I’m convinced the subject of God’s glory has very real, practic ... read more
WALKING WITH GOD
“Enoch walked with God” (Genesis 5:24). The original Hebrew meaning for walked implies that Enoch went up and down, in and out, to and fro, arm in arm with God, continually conversing with him and growing closer to him. Enoch lived 365 years—or, a “year ... read more
WE ARE FAMILY
Claiming the power that is in Christ’s name is not some complicated, hidden theological truth. In my library are books written solely on the subject of Jesus’ name. The authors wrote them to help believers understand the deep implications hidden in Chri ... read more
WE ARE NOT WITHOUT HOPE
We who know Christ’s righteousness are not to live as those who are without hope. We have been blessed with both the love and the fear of God. And his will for us in the darkest, most terrible times is to obtain his joy and gladness. Even as we see judgme ... read more
