In the book of Exodus we can see that God desires a building – the people of Israel journeyed from the crossing of the Red Sea until they had a unique building – the tabernacle. One of the brothers […]

Recently, I have been enjoying “The way for a Christian to mature in life” by brother Witness Lee and what impressed is that as Christians we are sons marked out for glory who will be transformed into God’s image, that is, we will be transformed from glory to glory. 2 Cor 3:18 says: But we all […]

This morning I was again so exposed by the Lord in His Word, and also encouraged to draw closer to Him and just spend time with Him! The only way we can go on in our Christian life and the way we can become the overcoming ones that bring the Lord back is by spending […]

being saved from having little credit before the Lord by spending personal secret hidden time with Him

In the Old Testament we clearly see that although king Hezekiah did a lot of good things for God and even trusted in Him in front of his enemies, he had very little credit with God. When Hezekiah was mortally ill and he cried to the Lord, the Lord’s response was that because of David […]

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
