Inspired Revelations! (#152)


“…When the Lord had finished talking with them, he was taken up into heaven and sat down in the place of honor at God’s right hand” (Mark 16:19 NLT).

The Bible is an amazing book.  It gives us inspired revelations.

Take, for example, the verse above.  It records Jesus’ ascension into heaven as seen in Mark’s eye-witness account.

Our gaze, like Mark’s, travels upward as Jesus disappears from sight.

Mark amazingly sees Jesus sitting at the right hand of God “in the place of honour.”

This is indeed an inspired revelation!

Really, Jesus has resumed his original place of honour.  He left this place of honour to come to this sinful world to give His life for mankind.  This was His mission.

But, there is a further revelation – He will return one day for all those who have given their hearts to Him.

This is not a fanciful tale.  It’s true.  The Bible tells us so in John 14:1-3.

Hope this revelation inspires you!

Giving Life

There I was enjoying a program on television when suddenly there was a loud "boom!", then total darkness both in and outside as well. Away I hustled to find candles in their designated spot. Soon the house was lit with the soft, dim glow of candle light. Fortunately, this was short-lived and the electricity was restored. After this, I felt like some piano playing was needed at this time, and went to the Music Room. When I got there I found my keyboard still plugged in to the  surge  protector. Alas, I could not not play my keyboard  because apparently the sudden  surge of electricity had knocked out the surge protector!   In other words it had given its 'life' to protect my keyboard! You know, it reminded me of God's Salvation plan.  Jesus' intervention in our lives was a rescue mission. His selfless sacrifice involved the giving of His life to save us. We are protected from the judgement of a Holy God because His son Christ Jesus,  paid the ultim

God's Action File!

"...Don't be afraid Daniel. Since the first day you began to pray for understsanding and to humble yourself before your God, your request has been heard in heaven..." (Daniel 10:12 NLT) I will admit being organised is not one of my attributes.  But because of my gift of writing & composing,  I am forced to be organised... Well, sort of ! To this end, I have created an 'action' file which contains my various in-progress writings. Mind you, I have not opened this file in recent times! Yes, this is something I must take action on! You know, unlike us, God is always taking action when we present our prayers to Him. I know we can get discouraged when we do not get instant answers to our prayer requests. But let's get some encouragement from someone in the Bible.   Daniel had a perplexing vision and prayed for understanding what it meant. It would take twenty one days before Daniel received the explanation of the vision. He was told by an angel that the answer h

Of Panic, Prayer, Prophecy, and Promptings

What do you do when you are faced with an unexpected situation? If you are like me you press the panic button! Thankfully, my faith 'kicked' in and I prayed fervently for a miracle. Yes, it would take nothing less than a miracle for this girl waiting at the bus stop with no money to get home! How did that happen? Well, she left home with just bus fare for one trip; confident she had her purse in her bag. But She forgot that it was still in her 'church bag' from the day before. She had forgotten remove it! So there she was - waiting for a miracle and humming "Still I Rise" to counter the panic which would rise now and then. Suddenly, she found herself saying these prophetic words: "Whoever you are, stop and give me a ride home!" Sometime later, the miracle occurred! A minister-friend pulled up at the bus stop and offered her a lift.   Apparently he was on his way home and was debating which road he should take.   He was impressed
