In this article, we will explore how Jesus Christ’s life and teachings illustrate the importance of trusting in God’s plan.

Inability to speak. In the OT muteness is traced to God (Exod 4:11). God made Ezekiel mute (Ezek 3:26) in response to Israel’s failure to listen to his message. Later He restored Ezekiel’s speech (24:27; 33:22) as a sign of the people’s receptiveness to hear. Daniel became speechless in response to the appearance of a heavenly messenger (Dan 10:15).

THINK IT, BELIEVE IT, AND IT WILL HAPPEN (START SPEAKING FAITH NOW)

Words won’t work without faith any more than faith will work without words! It takes them both to put the law of faith in motion.

Many believers don’t realize that. They’ll continually speak words of doubt and Un continually speak words of doubt and unbelief, then they’ll jump up one day and say a couple of faith words and expect mountains to move-and to their dismay, they don’t.

Why not?

Music was very much a part of religious life, and musicians had always been important. They were classed along with smiths and those who possessed flocks and herds. Jubal was recognized as the father of all who played the pipe (Gen 4:20-21). We therefore find many examples of music in Bible times. The instruments that were played are not always easy to identify from their Hebrew names, but the following instruments (arranged alphabetically) are the most important ones used:

The grape juice was allowed to stand and ferment in the collecting vessels for about six weeks. A sludge known as lees formed at the bottom of the vessels. The wine was then tipped up gently into jars without disturbing the sediment (Jer 48:11). The jars were sealed with clay, but there was a small hole by the handle that allowed the gases released during the remaining fermentation to escape. When the process was complete, the hole was sealed with a blob of wet clay and the owner’s name or seal was put on the clay. It was possible to put the wine in wineskins (goatskin bottles), but if the gases, then it would burst and the wine would be lost. This is the point of Jesus’ illustration in Matthew 9:17.

DEFINITION OF THE DAY (DARKNESS)

July 20, 2022Uncategorized1 Thessalonians, 2 John, 2 peter, 2 Thessalonians, Angels, Christ, crucifixion, Daniel, dark, definition of the day, definitions, Deuteronomy, disobedient, Ephesians, Ezekiel, God, God the Father, God the Holy Spirit, God the Son, human, Isaiah, jesus, Jesus Christ, Job, Jude, light, lighting, Lord, Luke, new testament, Old Testament, OT, Proverbs, Psalm, Romansabarkley8

Absence of lights is used in both physical and figurative senses in both the OT and NT. The darkness that covered the deep before God’s creation of light symbolizes chaos in opposition to God’s orderly creations (Gen 1:2-3). Elsewhere darkness, as well as light, is recognized as the creation of God (Isa 45:7). Darkness is a place where “workers of iniquity may hide” (Job 34:22 NASB); however, darkness does not hide one from God (Psa 139:11-12; Dan 2:22).
