As covered previously, many consider the seven churches of Revelation to be a prophetic outline of church history, and I share that view. Looking back, this is an amazingly accurate outline of church history. It would mean that the last church the Lord addressed, the church at Laodicea, would represent the church at the end of the age. This was the church that the Lord gave His greatest promises to: they would be given their food by Him, and they would sit with Him on His throne. This is in contrast to the great company that stands before the...

We prayed for the Spirit of Truth to reveal anything hidden that we needed to know. This began happening very quickly. Some might protest that much of what is being illuminated is coming from whistleblowers in the government, but this gives us insight into the work of the Holy Spirit. There were times in the Old Testament when the Lord referred to heathen armies such as the Babylonians as His arm. The Babylonians did not know the Lord, nor did they know that...https://publications.morningstarministries.org/word-for-the-week/spirit-truth-great-commission-part-26

We are continuing to address what it means to be a “disciple of the kingdom of heaven,” and we have begun to discuss the high calling. We have been doing this from the remarkable discourse of the Apostle Paul in Philippians Three. There are a number of profound insights in this text that highlight what the life of a disciple of the kingdom of heaven looks like.
First, they put no confidence in the flesh. If anyone had an occasion to put confidence in the flesh, Paul did. However, to him, and to everyone who grasps what it...

We have been discussing how the Apostle Paul became a disciple of the kingdom of heaven. He gave a remarkable explanation of this in Philippians 3:10-14:
that I may know Him, and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death;
in order that I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.
Not that I have already obtained it, or have already become perfect, but I press on in order that I may lay hold of that for which also I was...

The Apostle Paul knew as much as anyone in history about how learning from the wrong perspective leads to error. Being in conflict with the truth led him to persecute the Lord Himself by persecuting His people. Because of this, he gave possibly the greatest discourse ever written of what leads to truth in Colossians 1:9-20:
For this reason also, since the day we heard of it, we have not ceased to pray for you and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, ...
