The Spirit of the Lord upon me

So Jesus came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up. And as His Custom was, He went into the Synagogue on The Sabbath Day, and stood up to read. And He was handed The Book of The Prophet Isaiah. And when He had opened the book, He found the place where it was written: “The Spirit of The LORD is upon Me, because He has Anointed Me to Preach The Gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed; To proclaim the acceptable year of The LORD.” Then He closed the book, and gave it back to the attendant and sat down. And the eyes of all who were in the Synagogue were fixed on Him. And He began to say to them, “Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.”
Now, Jesus could have chosen any chapter or verse, from The Book of Isaiah, yet He chose this, why? Because with these words, He described precisely, why He was here and that The Words of Isaiah, spoke specifically of Him. He did this among many people, in the Synagogue, people who knew Him. As We, Believers, look at this Today, We wonder if any of them, felt or understood His Significance, to them or Us. According to Luke, this was early in Jesus’ Ministry, He told these people, “Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.” Do YOU wonder when We share Bible Scriptures, from The New Testament, of Jesus Speaking to future Yet-To-Be-Believers, if the people We are speaking to, sharing with, realize and understand that these Scriptures, from The New Testament, are being fulfilled Today? Just as The Old Testament, spoke of future events, more specifically, The Coming of The Christ, The Messiah, Jesus. The New Testament speaks of future events, Yet-To-Be-Believers accepting Jesus Christ, as The Messiah, becoming Believers, and they themselves sharing The Gospel of The Lord Jesus Christ, with others. Isn’t this fascinating, that Jesus would tell His Disciples, that hundreds, thousands of years from now, My Future Disciples, will still be sharing about Me. Thanks to Your Testimony of Me, which We call The New Testament of The Holy Bible, these future Disciples will lead, Yet-To-Be-Believers to accept Me, as The Christ, The Messiah, and through Me, they may have Everlasting Life. They can join Us, in My Father’s Presence, for Eternity.

Five Powerful Communication skills to Effectively Manage and Nurture Relationships

Every relationship, even with someone we've just met, begins with how we communicate.   Communication is the foundation of any relationship, reflecting the depth of our concern, joy, or other inner feelings toward the other person. Clear, affectionate, understanding, and honest communication strengthens bonds, potentially lasting a lifetime. In some friendships, there's a unique way of expressing wishes that deeply resonates with us, affirming the connection.   Others may communicate in a straightforward manner, signifying a relationship of convenience rather than depth. The way we communicate reveals how much we value the relationship—if we truly care, it will be evident in our words; if not, our communication will be limited to what is necessary.   Your relationship begins with your intent and your words. The right words can heal like a balm or cut like a knife. Your words matter.   Here are five powerful communication skills to effectively man...

Aspects of Information as Found in the Bible

by Dr. Werner Gitt on May 28, 2009 God is shown as the source or sender of biblical information. 14.1 God as Sender—Man as Recipient The five aspects of information—statistics, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, and apobetics—were discussed in chapter 4 , and it was stated that all five are indispensable for both the sender and the recipient. It is highly instructive to view the Bible in this way. Figure 27: God as sender; man as recipient. When God speaks in the Bible, He is the Sender of information. The message of the Bible, transmitted to us as recipients, can be analyzed according to the aspects of information, namely syntax, semantics, pragmatics, and apobetics. Only when we cover all the levels, will we achieve the purpose intended by God. Sender: In Figure 27, God is shown as the source or sender of biblical information. His Word is available to us today in completed ( Revelation 22: ) and written form (e.g., Exodus 17:14 ;...

Hudson Taylor's Testimony

Hudson Taylor’s Testimony There is nothing like reading salvation stories. Hudson Taylor’s (a British missionary to China who lived from 1832-1905) testimony is one of the greatest and most exciting salvation stories that I have read. Below you will see an excerpt from his autobiography where he tells the details of how God rescued him by His grace through the prayers of his mother. What a glorious Savior is Jesus! Here is the account: Let me tell you how God answered the prayers of my dear mother and of my beloved sister, now Mrs. Broomhall, for my conversion. On a day which I shall never forget, when I was about fifteen years of age, my dear mother being absent from home, I had a holiday, and in the afternoon looked through my father’s library to find some book with which to while away the unoccupied hours. Nothing attracting me, I turned over a little basket of pamphlets, and selected from amongst them a Gospel tract which looked interes...
