BRIDGING THE GAP
Chuck Missler 1934–2018
We don't become saved by acting saved. We don't become married by acting married. Faith bridges the gap between our need and God's provision. Faith is simply the way
we say "yes" to His offer.
SUPERNATURAL SIGNS
Chuck Missler 1934–2018
“Satan and his hordes are active in the affairs of Planet Earth. (Eph 2: 2 ; Dan 10:12,13, 20.) In fact, the whole world lies in the power of the Evil One, (2 Cori 4:4; 1 Jn 5:19) and his forces are behind all occult involvement, idolatry, and false religion. (Deut 32:16, 17; 1 Cor 10:19-21; Ps 106:35-40; 1 Tim 4:1-2; 2 Thess 2:9, 10; Acts 16:16-19)
All supernatural manifestations are to be tested by the Word of God. (1 Jn 4:1; Rev 2:2; Acts 17:10-12; Deut 18:20-22; Mt 24:24) The devil’s tactics include masquerading as an “angel of light” and a servant of righteousness. (2 Cor 11:13-15) False teachers and false prophets are linked to evil spirits, and there are “doctrines of demons.” (1 Tim 4:1; 1 Jn 4:1) Demons work through people by giving them psychic abilities.
(Acts 16:16-19; Ex 7:11, 22; 8:7)
DON'T PANIC IN THE STORM
David Wilkerson 1931-2011
“Maybe you're in a storm right now. The wind is blowing hard, shaking you violently, and you think you're going down. Beloved, don't panic! You've got to know that in the midst of the tempest, you are putting down deep spiritual roots. God is developing in you a deepening humility, a greater mourning and sorrow for sin, a heightened hunger for his Righteousness.
God is making you a seasoned soldier of the cross battle-scarred, but battle-smart and courageous. You may get down on yourself at times but the Lord never does. The fact is, he could have acted sovereignly at any time to pluck you out of your struggle. But he didn't because he saw it producing in you a greater thirst for him! Romans 5:3 says, Tribulation worketh patience. The word worketh means to accomplish.
In 2 Corinthians 4:17 we read, For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory. The word worketh in this verse is the same as in Romans 5:3.”
WHEN THE STORM IS OVER
David Wilkerson 1931-2011
“Whenever opposition arises, God's grace thrives in us. Think about what happens to a tree when a great storm beats violently against it. The wind threatens to uproot the tree and carry it away. It breaks off branches and blows away its leaves. It loosens its roots and blows off its buds. And when the storm is over, things look hopeless.
Yet, look closer; the same storm that opened crevices in the earth around the trunk of the tree has helped the roots go deeper. The tree now has access to new, deeper sources of nutrition and water. And it has been purged of all its dead branches. The buds may be gone, but others will grow back more fully. I tell you, that tree is now stronger, growing in unseen ways. And just wait till harvest because it's going to bear much fruit!”
PEACE & WICKEDNESS
Dwight L. Moody 1837-1899
There is no peace for the wicked, saith my God. They are like the troubled sea that can not rest, casting up filth and mire all the while; but peace with God by faith in Jesus Christ - peace through knowledge of forgiven sin, is like a rock; the waters go dashing and surging past it, but it abides. When we find peace, we shall not find it on the ground of innate goodness; it comes from without ourselves, but into us.
