What a privilege to have access to the throne of God. It was not our own doing, though, because we were cut off from God by our sins (Isaiah 59:2), but for everyone who’s repented and trusted in Christ, now
“we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God”(Heb. 4:14),
so
“with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need” (Heb. 4:16).
We can
“have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus” (Heb. 10:19)
because
“we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water” (Heb. 10:21-22).
Sometimes God will allow all sorts of troubles to pile up on us if we’ve wandered away from Him. If we are humbled by our circumstances and brought low, we might then seek God and cry out to Him because we know that
“the LORD is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit” (Psalm 34:18)
and
“many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the LORD delivers him out of them all” (Psalm 34:19).
This proves that
“when the righteous cry for help, the LORD hears and delivers them out of all their troubles” (Psalm 34:17).
I don’t know about you, but I need help at times when I pray to God because words sometimes fail me. Thankfully,
“the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words” (Rom. 8:26),
and
“he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God” (Rom. 8:27).
When words fail us, the Holy Spirit never will.
Prayer really is the link that connects us with God. Thankfully, through the access granted through Jesus’ shed blood, we can have direct contact with God. Perhaps He may humble us through trials and tribulations if we’ve wandered away from Him, but He wants us to draw near to Him. In times of need for what to pray about, God the Holy Spirit can give us the words when we don’t know what words to use.

EU negotiator for Brexit, Michel Barnier, considers Brexit to be a very negative thing, which can be considered as a lost game. For him Brexit has no added value. He says So far no one, including Mr. Farage, has been able to give any proof of the value of Brexit.” European Commissioner for Competition, Margrethe […]
In the wee small hours of the morning, Donald Trump lashed out, once more, at the EU over Brexit, responding to the news the UK would be given a “flextension” to 31 October to sort out its nightmarishly chaotic divorce from continental Europe. According to Trump the Union does not want to give some breath […]
The soap that breaks many acid It is incredible, after all this time debating about how to make arrangements for leaving the European Union, never coming forward with positive ideas, the Union approved to be once more patient with the British. Who would ever thought that Brexit could roll on until October 2019? Theresa May […]
Het was de afgelopen 25 jaar nodig alle Rwandezen te doen begrijpen dat we hetzelfde land delen, dezelfde rechten. De opbouw van een rechtstaat is dus een essentiële en voorname uitdaging geweest. mag Jean-Damascène Bizimana, secretaris-generaal van de Rwandese commissie van de strijd tegen genocide zeggen. Vandaag wil Rwanda “doen alsof” zij werkelijk in vrede […]
Rwandan President Paul Kagame will open a period of one hundred days of national mourning today Sunday April the 7th, by lighting a flame at the Kigali Genocide Memorial. This is followed by a ceremony at the Amahoro stadium. I do not understand that the ceremony will be attended by the Belgian Prime Minister Charles […]
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) was already in peril after a federal judge in Texas invalidated the entire law late last year. But the stakes ramped up again last week, when President Trump’s Justice Department announced it had changed its position and agreed with the judge that the entire law, not just three pieces of […]
Europe has to face the inevitable effect of the extra-large baby boom generation hitting retirement age and stepping away from the work force. For many years, economists from Europe and America have spoken of Japan and Western Europe as places where the slow grind of demographic change — masses of workers reaching retirement age, and […]
In this world we see lots of religious groups and can find lots of people they believe in god/God. But we can wonder in which god or God they believe. The majority seems to believe in an other god than the God of the Bible. That god of the Holy Books is a Singular Spirit […]
When we are looking for some one for having a good or close relationship with, we can assure you the best one to have a good relationship with is the Most High Divine Creator God Who made it possible for you to be here in the first place. Having a relationship with Him is a […]
When wondered about a godhead and having come to the conclusion that there must be a Divine Creator or Supreme Being that surpasses all human and animal beings, we may question if it is possible for us to have a relationship with that Higher Being. What does it take to begin a relationship with God? […]
In March 2016 we created on Weebly a website to talk about man’s relationship with God. After we had done all the placing of pages and came to the contact form and placing of a Gravatar for the replies, we were brought to WordPress where we not only could choose a Gravatar but also got […]
Throughout history of mankind there have many groups of people who worshipped a triple deity (sometimes referred to as threefold, tripled, triplicate, tripartite, triune or triadic, or as a trinity). Those people who worshipped such tri-une god all claim they only worship one deity. Such deities that are worshipped as one are common throughout world mythology; the number three has a long history of mythical associations. Carl Jung considered the arrangement of deities into triplets an archetype in the history of religion. But the God of the Bible is clear about Which God has to be worshipped, not a more headed, be it an eightfold, three-une or bi-one god, but only the God of Abraham, Which is only One God of gods.
Find out in this article and its links how Jews, Christians and Muslims may have been influenced by the pagan gods and false teachings and how they have to separate them from such pagan teachings.
Before going to the memorial meeting each of us should not only have cleansed his house, but also the inner being, having thrown away his “old leaven”, our old being.
זֹאת תּוֹרַת אֲשֶׁר בּוֹ נֶגַע צָרָעַת . . . בְּטָהֳרָתוֹ: (ויקרא יד:לב) This is the law regarding someone suffering from a lesion of tzara’at . . . when he is to be purified. Leviticus 14:32 * If the person formerly afflicted with tzara’at could not afford the lambs required for his sacrifices, he could […]
On this special Shabbat before Pesach we check if we ourselves and our brothers are clean enough to leave the door-posts with the blood of the lams for going through the wall of water, leaving slavery of the world behind.
Let the coming chag not be polluted by old yeast, but that you observe the Festival of Unleavened Bread like the Most High wants us to remember the exodus of the Bnei Yisroel.
Along the Nile River the river’s annual flooding ensured reliable, rich soil for growing crops. Having people cultivating the lands around this rich water made that in ancient North-eastern Africa the Egyptian civilization coalesced around 3150 BCE (according to conventional Egyptian chronology) with the political unification of Upper and Lower Egypt under the first pharaoh […]

Het is bijna Pesach. Het feest met de vijand in de vorm van onze dagelijkse brood. Geen brood, geen broodkruimels. Het is de revolutie van het platte ongerezen brood. De matse.

These days of Spring-cleaning are very special and are the preparation for these coming very special days were we learn and remember two special liberations, one for a particular people and an other one for all who want to accept the liberation of the curse of death.

Op Pesach ontdoen de Joden zich van gerezen brood. De reden hiervan is dat de Joden na afloop van de periode van de slavernij uit Egypte, op weg naar de vrijheid, snel moesten vertrekken en het brooddeeg niet kon rijzen. Het gerezen brood staat symbool voor luxe, voor de opgeblazen mens. De matze, daarentegen is plat,…
Wij gaan een periode in waar wij moeten kijken naar vergoten bloed, offergave, onvolkomen en volkomen offers en zuivering van de mens en waarbij ons gevraagd wordt om te denken over onze zuiverheid of smet.
Opgaand naar 14 Nisan moeten wij onze innerlijke staat onderzoeken, het bittere als het zoete in de wereld zien, en er voor zorgen dat wij weer naar de puurheid gaan welke een ware gelovige moet hebben om zich gezuiverd aan God aan te bieden.
In this world we shall become even more confronted by people, be them politicians or church-leaders who would love to tell us than matters or different than we see it. Many of them will give the lie to make sure they would be more popular and receive more power. We must know that we shall […]
For most people life is just a big question-mark. Living this small life, earn and die is just not satisfying for them and it does not seems like the purpose of life.
In the capitalist countries money often receives the first place of importance and many forget that love for each other is so much more a valuable asset for having a better life.
Several churches want to be popular and promise their followers excellent health with a lot of wealth, as long as they contribute richly to the church.
Abundance is on the inside. It’s a feeling first, an amount second.
We face a world were secularism is growing and more people think their politicians would and should have all the right answers to create for them the ideal world.
In 2016 I started with writing articles on this website. In a certain way I had hoped I also would come to hear from other people what they would think about Some One or a divine Supreme Power behind the creation of the universe. The first year of this blog got to see 17 articles […]
Lots of atheists do not think there is a god or God because there is so much violence and injustice in this world. In case there would be a god, they say this shows how cruel that God must be. They ask Where is God when a child cries from hunger, fear, loneliness? Where is […]
Every one of us should know that it is impossible to please God without a sound personal faith. God knows the heart and as such sees clearly what you think and what you believe. You may fake those around you but you can not fool God. The world may see in you a weak one […]
We should not be afraid to do research outside of the Bible. There are still many other things to be found, by doing so, that Jehovah’s people have yet to learn. To stop researching our Faith would be a big mistake. If we have “The Truth” than there is nothing to fear from such investigations. The trinitarians who say there is only one Bible the right one are giving several reasons for atheists and people against God to have enough proof to show them they are wrong also in their belief of God, because their sayings or words even do not match the bible words or ancient manuscript words and as such those people give a proof there would not exist a God.
In mankind’s history there can be found natural theology which is generally characterized as the attempt to establish religious truths by rational argument and without reliance upon alleged revelations. Newt to it we may find lots of name-Christians trying to proof God exist but for them Jesus being God, others can see that their idea of God being Eternal, Immaterial, Transcending space, The Creator and Designer of the universe, Omnipotent, Omniscient,
The unique greatest possible Being, does not fit at all their Jesus-god. Many people putting 2 and 2 together decide then wrongly because those qualities not fitting Jesus, he is not being able to be God but then there than also not being a Supreme God.
There are people who want us to believe god had to purify Himself but that we ourself do not have to do any works any more or can do whatever we want because God brought salvation to us by His death, though God can not die. By such misleading teaching those ‘preachers’ are fooling not only themselves but are taking the opportunity away for others to find the Real God of gods and the entrance to the Kingdom of God.
Ek het lankal bevestig dat ek sal kom. Dis goed so, want ek staan op en ek is nie regtig lus nie. Maar dis ‘n commitment en ek besluit om te gaan. Net voordat ek by die huis uitloop gryp ek my Afrikaanse Bybel. Dit voel stowwerig, ek lees deesdae meesal Engelse Bybels. Sy ontvang […]
