I firmly agree with the scholars' who wrote the 3 Study Notes  transcribed below with a Pentecostal perspective from the Fire Bible by Life Publishers.  So much so that I've attached them to my personal mission statement as a reminder to myself.

1-Study Note:

                               

"They do not serve your gods..."

  

  • "Though the Bible teaches us to obey, honor and pray for those in authority over us (Romans 13:1-7; 1 Timothy 2:1-2; 1 Peter 2:13-17), our first duty is to God.  If we obey what Jesus called "the first and great commandment"--to love the one true God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength (Deuteronomy 6:5; Matthew 22:37-38)--We cannot worship or honor any false god or any image representing a god.  This would also include giving priority to anything above God in our lives (see article on THE NATURE OF IDOLATRY, page 370 of Fire Bible)." 1. Fire Bible (FB) Modern English Version (MEV) Commentary Daniel 3:12 Note. ‘Obedience’   

2-Study Note:

"Hear, you deaf; look, you blind, that you may see."

 

 Isaiah 42:18-25

  • "Because of the spiritual blindness and deafness of God's people, they were being attacked and completely robbed by their enemy; there was no none to rescue and restore them."  Page 948 of the Fire Bible.


3-Study Note:

     

 "mentioning you in my prayers."

 

 Ephesians 1:16-20

  • "Paul's prayer for the Ephesians reflects God's highest desire for every follower of Christ.  He prays that the Spirit might work in and through their lives in greater and more powerful ways (Cross Ref. with Eph. 3:16).  The aim of the Spirit's activity in Christians' lives is that they may (a) know Christ better (v.  17), (b) receive more wisdom, insight and understanding concerning God's present and future purposes for them (v. 18) and (c) experience greater "power" of the Holy Spirit in their lives (vv. 19-20)."  Page 1716 of the Fire Bible (MEV). 2.  FB Pg. 963 The Will of God Article & Isaiah 42: 18-25 Note & Eph. 1:16-20 Note.

Sermon Series: Love

  Love-Gifts & Orderliness of Worship   "Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become [as] sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.  2  And though I have [the gift of] prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.  3  And though I bestow all my goods to feed [the poor], and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.  4  Charity suffereth long, [and] is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, 5  Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; 6  Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; 7  Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.  8  Charity never faileth: but whether [there be] prophecies, they sh...

Turnover Sermon | Grabbing the Torch (9/3/23)

Image
Grabbing the Torch   Each of us carries the fire imputed within.  If you’re Christian, you carry this fire within.  A fire placed there by God.  Today we pass the baton like that of a relay race.  It’s a baton with fire & smoke.  Like that of the Israelites if you will.  We carry the message of eternal life & death.  You can say that it’s a hot topic in the world!   Ministry is a marathon relay race.  Winning requires Teamwork.  Strength & Conditioning.  Stamina.  Endurance.  Confidence.  Balance.  Flexibility.  Communication, Power, Speed, Coordination, Agility, & Accuracy.  All of these areas of spiritual conditioning must be explored and integrated into the character of the competitors.  The person passing the torch or baton needs to know that the receiver is ready.  They both need to know where to meet & when.  They need to know who.  We need to know ...
