Nebuchadnezzar asked the question to which many of us might well look for an answer — explain to me the me the visions of my dream. Daniel had the gift of answering that question, of interpreting visions, but also of explaining the visions (and note that there is a distinction between the two).

Our Lord gives us a multitude of spiritual gifts, and the diversities of gifts we see here in 1 Corinthians, represents a map of the plan of God, for these gifts are of the Holy Spirit — the one gift beyond price, from which all the gifts mentioned are but a part.

I will bring you back from captivity is a promise from God to His people. What is this captivity, and where are we being brought back from? And then we read in verse 14 that I will gather you from all the nations and from all the places where I have driven you,..

The Lord said to Abram to get out of where he was and go to the land that He would reveal to Him. And in all this Abram would be blessed. Furthermore, all the families of the earth would be blessed in him. That is a whale of a promise...

Whenever Jesus was in the midst of a gathering He brought peace by His presence. Often, particularly when some or all with Him were anxious or fearful, He emphasised that peace by declaring “Peace unto you.”. When we engage with Jesus in the reality of His presence within us He gives us His peace. It can be no other and no better way.

Each of the 'Great Prophets' - Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel and Daniel - has his own unique voice and perspective, while each speaks the truth powerfully that The Lord has given him. These three verses from Jeremiah 13 are no different, and while we recognise the force in the words, the meaning seems unclear…
|
Jesus’ three “Do you love me?” questions to Peter are, I believe, three different questions; or at least variations designed to draw him in to the right place and restore Peter, letting him see that — as the rock on which Jesus was to build His church — Jesus would continue to be with him in all things.

All of John, chapter 21, takes place on the shore of the Sea of Galilee, (known as the Sea of Tiberius at this time), and the picture this gives us is that of Resurrection Life with Jesus Christ as the safe haven, with believers experiencing all the peace, joy and love that is His nature.
|
This is now the third time Jesus showed Himself to His disciples after He was raised from the dead. His new life appearances on Earth are now complete and eternal in God, and Jesus is saying to them and us, Come and eat breakfast; Come and dine with Me; let us share an everlasting sustaining, one with another.
|
John chapter 21 feels like an afterthought, or more, an expression of what life hearing from the Holy Spirit will be or now is. After Jesus’ death on the cross and His subsequent Resurrection, the disciples appear to have returned to their former lives, until this moment. They seem to have lost their way somewhat.
|
In Revelation 18, Babylon is portrayed as the ultimate enemy of God, and in verse 4, we read of the Heavenly voice, calling to God’s people, warning of the dire consequences should they (we) fail to come out of her. If we are hearing from the Holy Spirit — in whatever way that He chooses to show us — He will teach us to spurn the darkness and walk in the light…

The coronation of a king is of great significance, and resonates even if you are a republican by conviction. A previous King Charles — Charles the first — was a strong proponent of ‘the Divine Right of Kings’; that as an anointed king , he has been empowered by Almighty God to rule and reign over a people in this temporal realm.
|
When we heard recently that the First Minister of Scotland was resigning, many I am sure gave the matter only a casual glance. There might be disappointment or pleasure depending on your politics, but what has happened is that — with the reaction to a strongly Christian candidate putting her name forward for the First Minister role — Our Lord has highlighted for all Christians, precisely where present day attitudes are when it comes to Faith.

In the numerology of scripture what does our Lord’s five hundred measure tell us? Scripture shows us the Plan of God in a myriad of ways, confirming and reinforcing the truth of what we believe and opening new vistas of revelation. One of these ways is through numbers, and as a dear man of God once told me many years ago, “the numbers always add up.” God’s creation has a base of mathematical perfection.

[Proverbs 25:2] It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter. God is concealing His handiwork because it is an internal work, and it is the glory of us as kings to search out what He is doing – to get understanding of His ways – so that we can walk in them and allow Him, in turn, to foster and grow His seed in us.

1 CORINTHIANS 1:18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
We talk blithely about the Holy Ghost in power, about His mighty power, God is my strength and power, mighty men of power. |
At the beginning of Isaiah Chapter 51, the prophet calls three times Hearken to me. The threefold repetition reveals that he brings a word from on high. These are not my thoughts, my instructions, but those of Almighty God, he is saying...
