In the Old Testament there was a good king among the kings of Judah – king Hezekiah. When he started reigning, he put away all the idols, broke down their altars, purified the people, re-instituted the Passover, and brought the people of Judah and of Israel back to God, back to the worship of God.

The Key to Experiencing Christ is our mingled spirit, and the best way to enjoy Him is to call on His name
How can we experience Christ? How can we contact God? God today is not only in the heavens, sitting on the throne, and He is not just ruling and reigning over everything – He is now as personal to us as being in our mingled spirit! When we received the Lord Jesus into us by […]
Christ as the Stone-Savior is also the cornerstone to join us and build us up together in God’s building
The stone that the builders rejected – Christ – has become the head of the corner (Psa. 118:22): Christ as the stone rejected and despised by the Jewish builders/people has become the cornerstone to join together the Jews and the Gentiles into one Body, the Body of Christ!

Hallelujah for Christ as the Unique Replacement of everything else with Himself in God’s economy! In Isaiah, we see another full type of Christ in the person of Eliakim who is set by God to replace Shebna, to be the steward in the house of the king. But it’s not just that: in only 3 […]
God fires us and replaces us with Christ organically, we are being re-constituted with Christ daily!
I love this verse in Galatians 2:20, which says, I am crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who lives, but it is Christ who lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live in faith, the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave […]
