Our New Year's study brings us to a grouping of chapters that shows the King of Judah and Jerusalem being threatened by an army of Assyrians. Political pressure is clearly understood in these passages, as well as threatening castigations against the God of Israel. The use of Propaganda is tested by the enemy and results in anxious moments for the people of God
A Further Study on Grace and what it really means not just for the Jews but all of the world today. Luke continues by emphasizing the aspect of "fullness" associated with "this kind of grace." On Jesus rested all the manifestations of grace found in all the Old Testament ancients and all the coming glory of New Covenant grace. He was "filled with wisdom and the grace of God was upon Him." It was a visible grace.
Grace has a mind all its own and is on its own course. It is God determined. No one advises grace as to what it will or will not do. Grace, though, is in charge of more things in God's kingdom than what the church has been taught. For one thing, it does not take the counsel of any man. Grace goes where man gives up and swells the recipient's faith to the point he or she is able to be on over comer. When man judges a situation as unsolvable, grace rushes in and stops the action and supplies the
While writing Solomon's Secret, I was quickened by this focal passage. I was writing and dwelling in the right place to receive hidden manna and I was also awarded, at the conclusion of the work, a white stone upon which was written special things revealed and meant only for my eyes. It was then that I realized the great grace afforded me during this pursuit and how many times I fell to the floor and repented and wept at the understanding that was flooding my soul and spirit.
Are we heading to The Road to Captivity? Is this "Past" "Present" or "Future" The book will open your eyes. Uncanny parallels appear in Jeremiah's words between his day and this one, making his work a spiritual necessity for this time. One of the primary elements throughout his book is a principle similar to one used by Carl Jung in his initial studies of Psychiatry and his beliefs

Everything about Grace comes through Jesus and exalts Him above everyone (and above all other things). Grace could not have been extended to man without Him.
The use of an "over-theme" is difficult to describe, but this is the method God used in these six chapters. The "over-theme" in chapters 21-23 is a positive assurance to His people, that no matter what is going on around them---there is an end to it! They can be assured that "through it all" there is a forthcoming victory. The "over-theme" in chapters 24-27 is in the form of multiple Songs. The righteous, the redeemed of the Lord, are heard singing above
The admonition to "come boldly to the throne of Grace" assumes some things. It assumes many grace engendered aspects have already occurred in the life of the respondent. (One such assumption is that Grace has done its work in the heart of the "approacher," in the form of redemption and gifting through the Holy Spirit.) The invitation to "come boldly" is given to enable a person to come to the source of Grace and find even more.
Nothing changes a ministry so much as a Sovereign Act of God, whether it is a revival, a miracle or a voice from heaven. Such experiences affect the person greatly. For instance, this one was an affirmation of Isaiah's life and ministry.
This study is about the church at Ephesus. Because this church was so intimately considered in Paul's travels and because it occupies more than nineteen separate passages in the New Testament, it stands out in importance.
