  1. If He is the High and Lofty One Who inhabits eternity and if He has us in the palm of His Hand then we should have complete trust in Him and never ever fear anything. We know that He is the One with the Highest Power, Highest Wisdom, Highest Authority, Highest Love and we can find rest in the assurance that He will never change. We should and can live lives that honor and glorify Him and reflect Who He is.
  2. To me it means that His Love for me is Most High which is quite overwhelming to even think about. His ways are Most High. His Word is Most High and His power to deliver and help me is also Most High therefore He is Most Highly worthy of my total surrender, total obedience and Highest praise and worship.
  3. According to those 3 verses both Abraham and Melchizedel believed that God Most High created heaven and earth.
  4. Yes, many oportunities over the years; some turned out great but I also missed quite a few! But I have one great testimony to share: Before I got saved, I was married to a violent man. I eventually left and divorced him; we lost track of each other and I got on with the business of raising our 2 children on my own. Six yrs later, I was born again, spirit-filled and soon after, I received a prophecy that God would send me to another country and bring me back home again. Within days, my ex found where I lived and wrote me a letter! After YEARS of complete silence, there he was offering the children and myself a trip to where he lived; in "another country"!! Well, I was all for travel; who wouldn't be? But THAT offer really sent me to my prayer closet! I had to be absolutely certain it was the Lord. After much prayer, He left me in no doubt whatsoever that it was indeed THE trip that had been prophecied to me. Six weeks after the prophecy was delivered, the children and I were on a plane and as far as I was concerned I was going to spend 2 entire weeks in the proverbial lions' den, as the enemy was very keen to bring back many memories of turmoil and violence and I really had to fight those thoughts. I spent much of the first 2 days witnessing about what Jesus had done for me to this man who had been so domineering toward me and who insisted in the past that religion was a topic best left alone! That man who used to yell abuses at me now just sat there, listening to ME!!? By the 3rd day, he agreed to come to church with us and he gave his life to the Lord that day!! The 'lions' den' turned out to be a great vacation! That was many years ago, and to this day my ex is still a Missionary! Praise the Lord!
  5. Galatians 5: v17 reminds us that our flesh and God's Spirit are "opposed to each other". And Jesus told us in John 15: v5 that apart from Him we can do nothing. So we need to allow the holy Spirit to work in us and not rely on our own 'faith' which is I think equal to relying on our own understanding and usually doomed to failure. I believe to do something in obedience to God we need to operate in GOD"S Supernatural faith which we receive from the Holy Spirit Who dwells in and equips us and Whom we are required to trust (a big issue for us humans! ) and THEN we get the results God intended for us
  6. Kindest greetings to you all from New Zealand! My name is Claudine; I grew up in France but have lived in beautiful New Zealand since 1980. I have been a born again, spirit-filled Christian since 1986 and it's been a rich, awesome journey! God is so faithful!! I 'stumbled' on this site a few days ago, so this is my very first Bible study here and I am so excited about learning about our forefather in the Faith: Abraham. What an awesome blessing! I love to learn more about God's Word all the time so I am always searching. Hebrews 11: 16 says that "..God.. is the rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.." This site is a wonderful reward! Thank you Lord and thank you Pastor Ralph! God bless you all.
