Is There Anything Like Standing In The Gap In The New Testament?

"For God is one, and the mediator of God and men one, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself a ransom for all, the testimony to be rendered in its own times". 1st Timothy 2:5-6. It is very important to note that this inspired truth of scripture is written in the context of intercession for all men(Please read vs 1-4). The word translated as "Intercession" in the text(vs. 1) is "enteuxis"(ent'-yook-sis) in the original Greek, and it means  a falling in with, it also means a petition or supplication. To fall in with, is to act in accordance with someone, to agree to something. In intercession we are making a petition/supplication(request) to God for men, to the end that they may fall in with or align with God, however, t he tendency to assume the place of a go-between/mediator between God & men is more in intercessory ministry; it is so easy to cross the line & begin to see one's self as a go-between in what is commonly known as "standin...

Where A Sigh Of Relief Is Misjudged As Mocking The Dead.

Last week, i read some posts fraught with improper interpretations of Proverbs 11:10 by people beclouded by their own judgment, trying to present what the scripture says there as though it's the wicked who shout for joy when the wicked perish.  Simply comparing Proverbs 11:10 with a similar scripture in Proverbs 29:2 gives us a better understanding 👇🏽 "When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn" If the people mourn while the wicked rules, then it's very easy to understand why Proverbs 11:10 says there's a shout of joy when the wicked perish. If the life of a ruler is such that brings so much pain to the people such that they lament and mourn while he is in power, it is most natural that they will heave a great sigh of relief when such a ruler dies, and there's absolutely nothing unrighteous about that. Under the heavy weight of Pharaoh's burdensome rule, the children of Israel groaned in pa...

"EL ROI". What Does It Really Mean?

EL ROI. El roi means the God who sees. El(God) roi(see) It is drawn from Hagar's wilderness encounter with God in Genesis 16:6-14, when she felt mistreated by her mistress Sarah & fled from her face. "Beerlahairoi" - was Hagar's exact term ie. the name she called the Lord who spoke to her, as she realized the wonderful care of the Lord for her, how He had met her in her need when she was fleeing from her mistress. "Beerlahairoi" Transliteration: be'êr lachay rô'ı̂y Origin: from be'êr(well), chay(living) and rô'eh(seer/vision) "Beerlahairoi" means the well of the Living One seeing me; the Living One who sees me. That is what it is. It is the "well of Him that liveth and seeth" us, the well of God, the living water. The well itself is figurative of the Holy Spirit; He is the living waters, the living One who is always with us and from whose presence/face we cannot flee/escape so we live by the well & bef...
