Isa.25:6 – Now the LORD of armies will prepare a lavish banquet for all peoples on this mountain;A banquet of aged wine, choice pieces with marrow,And refined, aged wine. I recently saw some late night Christmas party people stumbling down the street with their jingle bells and adult beverages. I was struck with the thought, …
Lk.1:46,47 – And Mary said: “My soul magnifies the Lord, And my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior.” I recently challenged our church to pray daily for at least fifteen minutes in the Spirit every day. It doesn’t sound like much but if you actually do that consistently you will see changes in your …
Col.1:19 – For it was the Father’s good pleasure for all the fullness to dwell in Him, Paul is describing the revelation of God he had seen in Christ. Paul’s description stems from his encounter on the Damascus Road. He tasted what John lived with for three years; Jn.1:14,16 – “And the Word became flesh, …
Acts 3;19-21 – Therefore repent and return, so that your sins may be wiped away, in order that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord; and that He may send Jesus, the Christ appointed for you, whom heaven must receive until the period of restoration of all things about which God …
Ps.36:8 – They drink their fill of the abundance of Your house; And You allow them to drink from the river of Your delights. Fallen humans are clueless to real joy. They have no idea that there is a spiritual, supernatural joy available to all that come to the Lord by faith. Certainly Jesus had …
Acts 2:12,13 – And all were amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, “What does this mean?” But others mocking said, “They are filled with new wine.” The outpouring of the Spirit rarely looks the way you think it will. I think often of a phone call I received in July of 1994 from Dick …
Jn.4:10 – Jesus answered and said to her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.” Jn.4:13,14 – Jesus answered and said to her, “Whoever drinks of this water will thirst …
Heb.6:7-9 – When the ground soaks up the falling rain and bears a good crop for the farmer, it has God’s blessing. But if a field bears thorns and thistles, it is useless. The farmer will soon condemn that field and burn it. Dear friends, even though we are talking this way, we really don’t …
Jn.7:37 – On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and cried out, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. This simple verse is the very heart of the practical Christian life. Jesus had a way of getting right to the heart of a matter. Here He …
Eph.5:18 – Amp. – And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery; but ever be filled and stimulated with the [Holy] Spirit.
