Heaven Then God said, “Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters.” And God made the expanse, and separated the waters which were below the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse; and it was so. And God called the expanse […]

The Day James 1:2-4,12: Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its perfect result, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial; for once he has been approved,

The Day   And there was evening and there was morning, one day (see Gen 1:5).   Here we see that a day begins with the evening. This is a prophecy that with the great things the Lord brings forth, there is usually darkness before the dawn. This is a consistent truth throughout the Scriptures.

2 Cor. 3:18: But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror, the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit. When the Holy Spirit moves, He always convicts us of sin, but He also reveals the counter to

There may be sterner trials than this, but surely it is one of the worst to be utterly forsaken? \”See,\” said Satan, \”You have friend in sight; Your Father hath shut up

And the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters (see Gen 1:2). With the first mention of the Spirit, He was moving. The Holy Spirit is the agent of God who does the work. He is ever moving, working, and bringing forth the purposes of God. It is crucial for every

The Plan In Genesis1:2 we find a “formless and void” creation. The Holy Spirit took the earth that was in such chaos, and brought forth a creation of such beauty and symmetry. He can do the same with any life that is offered to Him. Regardless of how much chaos our lives are in, He
