     This message is given as a challenge to the Body of Christ. The challenge to us comes in the words of Jesus: "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do ; because I go unto my Father. And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name , that will I do; because I go unto my Father. And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name , that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask anything in my name , I will do it." (Jn. 14:12-14). This is a powerful promise from Jesus to those who believe on Him. It is a promise to any and all who believe on Him.      The Book of Acts gives us many examples of those who believed on Jesus being used by the Lord to work miracles in His name . In Acts 3, Peter and John had gone to the temple in Jerusalem at the hour of prayer. There was a man who had been lame from birth seeking alms from those coming to the temple: "And P...

      God is the God of all, and the Gospel is for the whole world. This is especially true in these times of wickedness: "And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations ; and then shall the end come." (Mt. 24:12-13). Only by Christ in us will we be able to endure this time of abundant iniquity. The Bible has been translated into every language of the world, and many people of various nationalities and religions are having visions of Jesus.      The true Gospel of Jesus Christ, "who gave Himself for our sins that He might deliver us from this evil world," is so important to the whole world that the apostle Paul warned the church of other gospels that are false: "I marvel that you are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ into another gospel: Which is...

      We need to understand the power and authority we have as believers, paid for with the blood of Jesus. It is not traditions, doctrines or denominations that are the source of this heavenly power and authority that is manifested on earth through the believer in Christ. In fact, scripture tells us that our traditions make void the Word of God. (see Mk. 7:6-7 , 13 ).      In His last words before His ascension into heaven, Jesus commanded His disciples to wait for that power from heaven to come upon them: "But ye shall receive power ( dynamis - strength, power, ability, power for performing miracles, moral power and excellence of soul), after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.' And when he (Jesus) had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight." (Acts 1:8-9).   ...

      If we are going to remove the veil, and know who Yeshua (Jesus) is, we need to know His name and what it means. Isaiah 12:1-6 says: "And in that day thou shalt say, O LORD, I will praise thee: though thou wast angry with me, thine anger is turned away, and thou comfortedst me. Behold, God is my salvation (the Hebrew word Yeshua ; see also Ps. 62:7 and Jer. 3:23 ); I will trust and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength, and my song; he also is become my salvation." He becomes our salvation when we believe in Him: If we confess with our mouth and believe in our heart that Jesus is the Messiah/Christ, who died on that cross, and whom the Father raised from the dead, then we will be saved.      Isaiah continued: "Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation . And in that day shall ye say, Praise the LORD, call upon his name , declare his doings among the people, make mention that his name is exalted . Sing unto the L...

      The Hebrew names of people and places in scripture have important meanings. Some of these meanings give us great insight into what the scriptures are telling us. Yod-Hey-Vaw-Hey are the four Hebrew letters of the name translated as "LORD" in scripture. In the ancient pictographic Hebrew language, each of those letters has its own meaning that contributes to the understanding of the Name. Translating each letter gives us the meaning "Behold the hand, behold the nail" as making up that Holy name: LORD. Most Christians have no idea of the revelation found in the Hebrew language. The prophet Hosea wrote: "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge, because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. As they were increased, so they sinned against me: therefore will I change their glory into shame." (Hos. 4:6-7). The people of ...
