He created them male and female." 1 Cor 15:47-49 The first man was out of earth, earthy; the second Man was the Lord from Heaven. 48 Such the earthy man, such also the earthy ones. And such the heavenly Man, such also the heavenly ones. 49 And according as we bore the image of the earthy man, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly Man. Yeshua (Jesus) is described as the "image of the invisible God" [Colossians 1:15-17; Hebrews 1:3], that is, God, manifesting Himself in a visible, tangible form, a human form in whom dwells all the fullness of Deity [Colossians 1:19; Colossians 2:9; 1 Timothy 3:16], equal with God before Creation [John 1:1-5; John 1:14], but choosing to be emptied of His glory for the purpose of incarnating as a flesh and blood human being on Earth; [Philippians 2:6-8]. The Hebrew word for image is ‘tze

Today's Daily Encounter Wednesday, July 31, 2024 His Love Can Save Anyone "As he neared Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him. He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, 'Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?' 'Who are you, Lord?' Saul asked. 'I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,' he replied."1 No one is beyond God's reach. His love can save anyone, no matter how far the person has fallen. In that sense, consider Saul of Tarsus, who was later known as the apostle Paul. On the road to Damascus, which Saul traveled "breathing threats of death against the disciples" (Acts 9:1), he met the Savior and everything changed. Christ called him by name, saying, "Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?" (verse 4). But the persecutor could not answer him because he did not yet know Christ. However, he didn't have to wait long. "I am Jesus, whom you persecute," the Lord said to the fu

Never Abandoned | Deuteronomy 31:8 - Daily Devotions From Greg Laurie - Omny.fm

Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" Devotional: July 31st “An Appeal; Deliverance ” - Psalms 50:15 This is a promise indeed! Here is an urgent occasion -- "the day of trouble." It is dark at noon on such a day, and every hour seems blacker than the one which came before it. Then is this promise in season: it is written for the cloudy day. Here is condescending advice, "Call upon me." We ought not to need the exhortation: it should be our constant habit all the day and every day. What a mercy to have liberty to call upon God! What wisdom to make good use of it! How foolish to go running about to men! The LORD invites us to lay our case before Him, and surely we will not hesitate to do so. Here is reassuring encouragement: "I will deliver thee." Whatever the trouble may be, the LORD makes no exceptions but promises full, sure, happy deliverance. He will Himself work out our deliverance by His own hand. We believe it, and the LORD honors

Days of Heaven on Earth Devotional: July 31st “We were troubled on every side” (2 Corinthians 7:5) Why should God have to lead us thus, and allow the pressure to be so hard and constant? Well, in the first place, it shows His all-sufficient strength and grace much better than if we were exempt from pressure and trial. “The treasure is in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.” It make us more conscious of our dependence upon Him. God is constantly trying to teach us our dependence, and to hold us absolutely in His hand and hanging upon His care. This was the place where Jesus Himself stood and where He wants us to stand, not with a self-constituted strength, but with a hand ever leaning upon His, and a trust that dare not take one step alone. It teaches us trust. There is no way of learning faith except by trial. It is God’s school of faith, and it is far better for us to learn to trust God than to enjoy life. The lesson of faith, once learned,

 Morning and Evening with A.W. Tozer Devotional: July 31st Tozer in the Morning Unseen Realities Let us not be shocked by the suggestion that there are disadvantages to the life in Christ. There most certainly are. Abel was murdered. Joseph was sold into slavery, Daniel was thrown into the den of lions, Stephen was stoned to death, Paul was beheaded, and a noble army of martyrs was put to death by various painful methods down the long centuries. And where the hostility did not lead to such violence (and mostly it did not and does not) the sons of this world nevertheless managed to make it tough for the children of God in a thousand cruel ways. Everyone who has lived for Christ in a Christless world has suffered some losses and endured some pains that he could have avoided by the simple expedient of laying down his cross. However, the pains are short and the losses inconsequential compared with the glory that will follow, "For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worket

Wayside Chapel Daily Devotional 31st July 2024 7/31 Psalm 88:18 18 You have caused my beloved and my friend to shun me; my companions have become darkness. In Jerusalem, below the house of Caiaphas, archeologists have discovered a cistern (a hole carved deep into limestone for storing water). When the crusaders found it, they etched and painted crosses in it. It is now believed that Jesus was held in this dry cistern. He would have been lowered in by rope and left alone in the darkness to await His fate. His disciples had all deserted Him. Peter had denied he knew Him. The voice of the Father was silent. Jesus knew the horror that lay ahead. Alone, He would have found solace in this psalm, knowing that a thousand years earlier, someone had gone through an experience that caused him to put these words to writing and that the Father had them recorded for the Son. It was all in the Father's hands, no matter how hopeless the situation seemed. There are psalms for us too. They speak of

Worthy Brief - July 30, 2024 The faith of Abraham ... Hebrews 11:8-10 By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going. By faith he dwelt in the land of promise as in a foreign country, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise; for he waited for the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God. Have you ever considered why Abraham was called the father of faith? Why not Enoch, who was translated from this world? Or Noah, who by faith created an ark to save mankind in the days of the flood? Abraham didn't perform any miracles, signs, or wonders, which would qualify him by today's standards of spiritual performance, yet he is known as the Father of Faith, simply because he trusted in the Kingdom to come. Abraham's faith established a pattern for us believers today. He left his past behind, turned away from everything he

Today's Daily Encounter Tuesday, July 30, 2024 Father Knows Best If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!1  A young girl lay curled in her father's arms as the doctors prepared to do a spinal tap on her sick body. Limp and fragile, she struggled against her father's restraints for the pain was like nothing she had ever felt. She cried as she looked up at her father, only to see his eyes flooded with tears as well. She didn't understand why he allowed those people to hurt her and at one point she wailed, "Daddy, make them stop!". Years later, with her body now healed, the man explained to his daughter that it had been the hardest thing he had ever done and had wished a thousand times he could have lifted her and taken her home, but because it had been for her own good; for her healing, he had held her tight under the suffering.   God is this wa

Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" Devotional: July 30th “Promise of Future Meeting ” - John 16:22 Surely He will come a second time, and then, when He sees us and we see Him, there will be rejoicings indeed. Oh, for that joyous return! But this promise is being dainty fulfilled in another sense. Our gracious LORD has many "agains" in His dealings with us. He gave us pardon, and He sees us again and repeats the absolving word as fresh sins cause us grief. He has revealed to us our acceptance before God, and when our faith in that blessing grows a little dim, He comes to us again and again and says, "Peace be unto you," and our hearts are glad. Beloved, all our past mercies are tokens of future mercies. If Jesus has been with us, He will see us again. Look upon no former favor as a dead and buried thing, to be mourned over; but regard it as a seed sown, which will grow, and push its head up from the dust, and cry, "I will see you again.&quo

 Days of Heaven on Earth Devotional: July 30th “If thou wilt diligently hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God and wilt keep all His statutes” (Exodus 15:26) Sometimes people fail because they have not confidence in the Physician. The very first requirement of this Doctor is, that you trust Him, and trust Him implicitly, so implicitly that you go forward on His bare word, and act as if you had received His healing the moment you claimed His promise. But no one would expect to be healed by an earthly doctor as soon as they obeyed his directions. You must do what the Great Physician tells you, if you expect Him to make you whole. You cannot expect to be healed if you are living in sin, any more than you could expect the best physician to cure you while you lived in a malarial climate and inhaled poison with every breath. So you must get up into the pure air of trust and obedience before Christ can make you whole. And then, if you will trust Him, and attend to His directions, you will

Morning and Evening with A.W. Tozer Devotional for July 30 Tozer in the Morning The Cross is a Radical Thing The cross of Christ is the most revolutionary thing ever to appear among men. The cross of the Roman times knew no compromise; it never made concessions. It won all its arguments by killing its opponent and silencing him for good. It spared not Christ, by slew Him the same as the rest. He was alive when they hung Him on that cross and completely dead when they took him down six hours later. That was the cross the first time it appeared in Christian history. After Christ was risen from the dead the apostles went out to preach His message, and what they preached was the cross. And wherever they went into the wide world they carried the cross, and the same revolutionary power went with them. The radical message of the cross transformed Saul of Tarsus and changed him from a persecutor of Christians to a tender believer and an apostle of the faith. Its power changed bad men into good

“Lord, How Long?” | Psalm 5:7 - Daily Devotions From Greg Laurie - Omny.fm

Wayside Chapel Daily Devotional 30th July 2024 7/30 Psalm 86:11 11 Teach me your way, O LORD, that I may walk in your truth; unite my heart to fear your name. In contrast to yesterday's devotion, this is a cry to hear what the Word of God teaches in all its fullness that the psalmist might order his life according to that truth. This hungry heart is a gift from God. Jesus said the one that is hungry and thirsty for righteousness will be filled (Matthew 5:6). When we begin our walk in the Spirit, our heart is often divided because of our previous idols. These were things that we sought after to find fulfillment or satisfaction. When we find that Christ is the sum of everything that is truly good, we are still often tempted to look back on the old pleasures. They will compete for first place in our hearts. This is why the psalmist asked that God would unite his heart to fear God's name. God's name is the sum of His attributes. To fear who He is as a righteous God who loves us

Psalms 122:5-7 For thrones are set there for judgment, The thrones of the house of David. 6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: "May they prosper who love you. 7 Peace be within your walls, Prosperity within your palaces." Last week, we discussed the significance of Jerusalem in the culmination of the age. Here we'll continue to scratch that surface. The word "Jerusalem" is so rich with meaning, a single devotion will only begin to unpack it, there are so many etymological approaches. But most agree that the root letters at the end, שלם (shalem) spell a Hebrew word requiring numerous English words to fully comprehend including, "perfect", "complete", "sound", "whole", "harmony", "peace", etc. In addition, the concept of payment is present, as לשלם (leshalem), "to pay", also suggests "reward".

A Perfect World - Holy Land Moments Devotional

Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" Devotional: July 29th “He Routs Our Enemy ” - Zephaniah 3:15 What a casting out was that! Satan has lost his throne in our nature even as he lost his seat in heaven. Our LORD Jesus has destroyed the enemy’s reigning power over us. He may worry us, but he cannot claim us as his own. His bonds are no longer upon our spirits: the Son has made us free, and we are free indeed. Still is the archenemy the accuser of the brethren; but even from this position our LORD has driven him. Our Advocate silences our accuser. The LORD rebukes our enemies and pleads the causes of our soul, so that no harm comes of all the devil’s revilings. As a tempter, the evil spirit still assails us and insinuates himself into our minds; but thence also is he cast out as to his former preeminence. He wriggles about like a serpent, but he cannot rule like a sovereign. He hurls in blasphemous thoughts when he has opportunity; but what a relief it is when he is t

Days of Heaven on Earth Devotional: July 29th “My helpers in Christ Jesus” (Romans 16:3) Christ’s Church is overrun with captains. She is in great need of a few more privates. A few rivers run into the sea, but a larger number run into other rivers. We cannot all be pioneers, but we can all be helpers, and no man is fitted to go in the front until he has learned well how to go second. A spirit of self-importance is fatal to all work for Christ. The biggest enemy of true spiritual power is spiritual self-consciousness. Joshua must die before Jericho can fall. God often has to test His chosen servants by putting them in a subordinate place before He can bring them to the front. Joseph must learn to serve in the kitchen and to suffer in prison before he can rise to the throne, and as soon as Joseph is ready for the throne, the throne is always waiting for Joseph. God has more places than accepted candidates. Let us not be afraid to go into the training class, and even take the lowest plac

Morning and Evening with A.W. Tozer Devotional for July 29 Tozer in the Morning CHEAP RELIGION What passes for Christianity in our day is cheap religion! To listen to the current concepts of Christianity, we would conclude it is little more than bits of beautiful poetry, a man-made bouquet of fragrant flowers, a kindly smile for our neighbor and a couple of good deeds on behalf of a brother or sister. When I consider some of the elements now offered in Christianity as acceptable religion, I have to restrain myself lest I speak too disapprovingly. I fear my words would be so strong that I would have to repent of them! And I read in the Scriptures that there are some things God does not want us to say even about the devil. What do we find surfacing in much of our Christian fellowship? The complaint that God takes a long time to work out His will. We do not want to take the time to plow and cultivate. We want the fruit and the harvest right away. We do not want to be engaged in any spirit

Moving God’s Way | Psalm 5:3 - Daily Devotions From Greg Laurie - Omny.fm

Wayside Chapel Daily Devotional 29th July 2024 7/29 Psalm 81:8 8 Hear, O my people, while I admonish you! O Israel, if you would but listen to me! In this psalm, God is speaking to the remnant of Israel. He reminds the people of how He delivered them from Egypt. He longed to bless them with abundance. The problem was that they held on to their foreign gods. He continued to show them signs and wonders and provide for them, but they would not listen and act on what they heard. Nothing has changed! The church today would like to think it is not like Israel. When we read of the continual rebellious acts of Israel in the wilderness, we often marvel at how people could be so stubborn. Yet today, we have the account of what God did throughout history, the Word of God, and the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, yet we still will not listen and change.

What God Has Given Us - Holy Land Moments Devotional

Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" Devotional: July 28th “Bow Down; Be Lifted Up ” - 1 Peter 5:6 This is tantamount to a promise: if we will bow down, the LORD will lift us up. Humility leads to honor; submission is the way to exaltation. That same hand of God which presses us down is waiting to raise us up when we are prepared to bear the blessing. We stoop to conquer. Many cringe before men and yet miss the patronage they crave; but he that humbles himself under the hand of God shall not fail to be enriched, uplifted, sustained, and comforted by the ever-gracious One. It is a habit of Jehovah to cast down the proud and lift up the lowly. Yet there is a time for the LORD’s working. We ought now to humble ourselves, even at this present moment; and we are bound to keep on doing so whether the LORD lays His afflicting hand upon us or not. When the LORD smites, it is our special duty to accept the chastisement with profound submission. But as for the LORD’s exaltati

Days of Heaven on Earth Devotional: July 28th “Not my will, but Thine” (Luke 22:42) He who once suffered in Gethsemane will be our strength and our victory, too. We may fear, we may also sink, but let us not be dismayed, and we shall yet praise Him, and look back from a finished course, and say, “Not one word hath failed of all that the Lord hath spoken.” But in order to do this, we must, like Him, meet the conflict, not with a defiant, but with a submissive spirit. He had to say, “Not My will, but Thine be done”; but in saying it, He gained the very thing He surrendered. So the submission of Gethsemane is not a blind and dead submission of a heart that abandons all its hope; but it is the free submission that bows the head, in order to get double strength through the faith and prayer. We let go, in order that we may take a firmer hold. We give up, in order that we may more fully receive. We lay our Isaac on Mount Moriah, and we ask him back, no longer our Isaac, but God’s Isaac, and i

Morning and Evening with A.W. Tozer Devotional for July 28 Tozer in the Morning WHO IS YOUR EXAMPLE? The Christian churches of our day have suffered a great loss in rejecting the example of good men, choosing instead the "celebrity of the hour" for their pattern. We must agree that it is altogether unlikely that we know who our "greatest" men are. One thing is sure, however-the greatest man alive today is the best man alive today. That is not open to debate. Spiritual virtues run deep and silent. The holy and humble man will not advertise himself nor allow others to do it for him. The Christian who is zealous to promote the cause of Christ can begin by living in the power of God's Spirit, and so reproducing the life of Christ in the sight of men. In deep humility and without ostentation he can let his light shine. To sum it all up: the most effective argument for Christianity is still the good lives of those who profess it! Tozer in the Evening Devotion to Thing

Wayside Chapel Daily Devotional 28th July 2024 7/28 Psalm 78:4, 8 4 We will not hide them from their children, but tell to the coming generation the glorious deeds of the LORD, and his might, and the wonders that he has done. 8 and that they should not be like their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation whose heart was not steadfast, whose spirit was not faithful to God. The psalm is recounting of the faithlessness of the people of Israel and the faithfulness of God. The psalmist tells the readers not to hide the ungodly deeds of their ancestors, and to remind them of the glorious deeds of God. The contrast makes the ways of the forefathers to appear as stubborn as they truly were. At the same time, that contrast shows God to be merciful and yet righteous. At times God was patient and gracious. At other times He poured out his wrath on them to turn them from the ungrateful ways. It is important to tell our children the true spiritual history as well, so that they
