 Days of Heaven Upon Earth Devotional for October 27

“Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh; is there anything too hard for Me?”

(Jeremiah 32:27)

Cyrus, the King, was compelled to fulfill the vision of Jeremiah, by making a decree, the instant the prophecy had foretold, declaring that Jehovah had bidden him rebuild Jerusalem and invite her captives to return to their native home. So Jeremiah’s faith was vindicated and Jehovah’s prophecy gloriously fulfilled, as faith ever will be honored. Oh, for the faith, that in the dark present and the darker future, shall dare to subscribe the evidences and seal up the documents if need be, for the time of waiting, and then begin to testify to the certainty of its hope like the prophet of Anathoth!

The word Anathoth has a beautiful meaning, “echoes.” So faith is the “echo” of God and God always gives the “echo” to faith, as He answers it back in glorious fulfillment. Oh, let our faith echo also the brave claim of the ancient prophet and take our full inheritance, with his glorious shout, “Oh, Lord, Thou art the God of all flesh, is there anything too hard for the Lord?” and back like an echo will come the heavenly answer to our heart, “I am the God of all flesh, is there anything too hard for Me?”

Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" Devotional for January 1

 Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" Devotional for January 1 “ The Bible’s First Promise ”  - Genesis 3:15 This is the first promise to fallen man. It contains the whole gospel and the essence of the covenant of grace. It has been in great measure fulfilled. The seed of the woman, even our LORD Jesus, was bruised in His heel, and a terrible bruising it was. How terrible will be the final bruising of the serpent’s head! This was virtually done when Jesus took away sin, vanquished death, and broke the power of Satan; but it awaits a still fuller accomplishment at our LORD’s second advent and in the Day of Judgment. To us the promise stands as a prophecy that we shall be afflicted by the powers of evil in our lower nature, and thus bruised in our heel; but we shall triumph in Christ, who sets His foot on the old serpent’s head. Through- out this year we may have to learn the first part of this promise by experience, through the temptations of the devil and the unkind...

Worthy Brief - July 1, 2026

 Worthy Brief - July 1, 2026  The pure in heart will see the King! Matthew 5:8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. There is a purity the world misunderstands. It is not outward behavior or carefully managed reputation, but something deeper — the hidden place of motive, desire, and love. When Yeshua (Jesus) says, "Blessed are the pure in heart," He is not describing external cleanliness. He is describing an inner life realigned with God. Through the Hebraic sense of ashrei (אַשְׁרֵי), we might hear it this way: Oh, what a great blessing belongs to the pure in heart, for they shall see God. This is not shallow happiness but the deep flourishing of a life made clear before the King -- the settled blessedness of a heart no longer divided by competing masters or hidden idols. The Greek word for "pure," katharos, means clean, unmixed, free from defilement — sincere and undivided. Yeshua is not blessing those who appear clean before men. He is blessing t...
