As far as our walk as believers is concerned, God has decreed that we are to live by faith. Because under the New Covenant we are to live by faith, it is essential that we understand just how faith works. This book will help believers to more fully understand just how to walk by faith so that they can appropriate all that God has given us in this life.

Mark 4:30-32 “Then He said, "To what shall we liken the kingdom of God? Or with what parable shall we picture it? (31) It is like a mustard seed which, when it is sown on the ground, is smaller than all the seeds on earth; (32) but when it is sown, it grows up and becomes greater than all herbs, and shoots out large branches, so that the birds of the air may nest under its shade.” Our Lord Jesus, when He was on the earth, stated that the kingdom of God is within us. The parable that our Lord described above, is a picture of the kingdom of God that is in each believer. We are all born ...

There is a degree of controversy in the church today, about suffering. There are those, who teach that the church is not meant to suffer at all, but rather, that we are meant to live victoriously in this life. Some even teach, that the church is meant to take dominion in the earth and deliver the kingdoms of the world to the Lord, when He returns. And then there are those, who teach that we are to accept all forms of adversity in this life, as part of our suffering for the Lord, including poverty and sickness for example. Each side tends to accuse the other, of teaching error. But as with ...

It is precisely because we have received complete forgiveness for our sins, that we can in turn extend forgiveness to those who sin against us. In other words, God gave us the example which we are to follow. Believers who struggle to forgive others, have forgotten just how much the Lord Jesus has forgiven them. This book teaches how to forgive.

In the gospels, there is a passage of scripture where we see how close to Jesus heart, little children are. For the scripture says that He was “greatly displeased”, when He found out that the disciples were trying to keep the little children from coming to Him. I can imagine that the disciples learnt very quickly not to transgress in this area again. So just why was Jesus so protective over small children? Jesus answers that question Himself, when He plainly tells us that, “of such is the kingdom of God”. Jesus stated that children were of the kingdom of God, because He knew that ...

Scripture teaches us that there are a number of key events which must take place before the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. This book is written to elaborate on one of those key events as revealed in the book of Daniel. Daniel was given a vision of the four kingdoms that will be present on the earth when the Lord Jesus returns, and what will happen to each one. And so the subject of this book is to examine what scripture reveals to us about the first three kingdoms, and what will transpire in each one as we draw to the close of the age. Because of its uniqueness, the subject of the ...

When every person leaves this planet we all go to one of two places. We either go to heaven or we go to hell. Those who have accepted Christ Jesus as Lord and Saviour go to heaven and those who have not accepted Jesus as Lord go to hell. There is more to it than that though. For there is an eternal judgement that all have to still incur. The believers have to stand before Jesus Christ to give an account for their lives and the unbelievers have to stand before the saints to give an account for their lives. Both judgement's are eternal. This book reveals what the word of God teaches us ...

Matthew 24:4 “And Jesus answered and said to them: "Take heed that no one deceives you.” The above scripture, records the opening statement made by our Lord Jesus, when He taught us on the subject, of the end times. It is important to note, that there is only area recorded in the bible, that the Lord warned us not to be deceived about, and that is the subject of the end times. The reason that our Lord warns us in this area, is because this is the one area, where the saints can more easily, be deceived. And I want you to also note, that the Lord places the onus on His saints, to ensure ...

All through our lives up until the time we are born-again, our minds have been trained to think in a certain way. The bible calls it carnal thinking. That thinking is in direct opposition to God’s laws. Once we are born-again God expects us to discard our carnal thinking, and begin to set our minds on the things of the spirit. This book explains how to renew your mind.

Psalms 45:9 “Kings' daughters are among Your honorable women; At Your right hand stands the queen in gold from Ophir.” Once the marriage of the Lamb has taken place, the church will no longer be one who is betrothed to the Lord, for she will then become the queen of heaven. The above passage of scripture describes the bride of Christ, after she has been joined to the Lord in eternal marriage. And so, we see that when our Lord Jesus finally returns to the earth to reign for one thousand years, that He will return with His bride, the church. This book reveals what the bible teaches us ...

God is God. And as such, ultimately His will prevails. So how do we reconcile the concept of the will of God prevailing in the affairs of mankind, while on the other hand, stating that men have a will of their own? This book reveals how God works all things according to the counsel of His will, while at the same time allowing man to have their own free will. For God does not create robots.

This book, the first in a series on biblical prophecy, examines the critical concept of two Israels as revealed in Scripture. Misunderstood by many scholars, this distinction is essential for accurate prophecy interpretation. Just as Jews misinterpret messianic prophecies by not distinguishing between the Messiah's two comings, recognizing the two Israels—the nation and the church—is crucial. This book clarifies that God has separate plans for each, debunking "Replacement Theology" and ensuring a correct prophetic understanding. This book explores the concept of "Israel after the flesh,...

In past generations the topic of creation was theologically not very important, and ministers of the gospel could simply gloss over it by teaching the saints that God created everything over six days, six thousand years ago. The reason bible teachers could do that, was because knowledge in the earth was limited and there was no real scientific evidence available to challenge that point of view. Today things have changed however, and every day more and more scientific evidence is discovered that completely refutes that view of scripture, thus highlighting the error of that teaching. And so, ...

The bible clearly teaches us that our bodies are not our own, but that they in fact belong to God. One way that we can understand this concept, is to view our body as a house that we are renting. God is the owner of the house, and we are His tenants. As tenants, our land lord expects us to look after His property, and He will hold us to account if we damage it in any way. This book teaches us what God expects us to do with our bodies.

1 Timothy 2:1-4 “Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, (2) for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. (3) For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, (4) who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.” In the above quoted passage of scripture the Holy Spirit exhorts the church to pray for heads of state and all those who are in authority. One of the main roles that the church is required ...

Hebrews 11:16 “But now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly country. Therefore, God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them.” The New Jerusalem is the city of God. God Himself has both designed it and He has built it. And so, as God is perfect, so the city that He has built is also perfect. In the above passage of scripture, the Holy Spirit teaches us that from its foundations to its pinnacle, the builder and maker of the heavenly city, is God Himself. That same passage says that God has (past tense) prepared the city for us. In other words, even ...

When we accepted Christ Jesus as Lord and Saviour we were washed clean in the precious blood of the lamb and we stood before God completely cleansed from all sin. It was never our Lord's intention that His saints then went back into sin, and so He made provision for us to walk free from sin. This book helps the believer to understand that truth in scripture and appropriate it for themselves.

Ephesians 1:11 “In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will.” This book essentially deals with the doctrine of predestination, or to put it more accurately, it explains how God governs His creation. But because of our very limited understanding in this present age, we only discuss one aspect of predestination in this book, which is the aspect of salvation, for obviously as far as men are concerned, that is by far the most important aspect that we need to understand. And so, in ...

There are six foundational doctrines to the Christian faith. Because they are foundational, every believer should have a clear understanding of each one of these doctrines, and live by them. Those who have a clear understanding of these doctrines and who also live by them, will have a sure foundation. And they will not be deceived by any false teachings, that they may come across in their Christian walk. Of the six foundational doctrines, the two that were most commonly taught to the church by the apostle Paul, were repentance from dead works and faith towards God. The reason for that was ...

This book, the second in a series on biblical prophecy about Israel, examines how God established Israel through a prophecy given to Abram, foretelling his descendants' enslavement in Egypt and eventual return to claim the Promised Land. This land, specified from the river of Egypt to the Euphrates, was further defined by God to Moses and later divided by Joshua among the twelve tribes. Despite periods of occupation and conquest, Israel never fully controlled the territory due to disobedience. The establishment of Jerusalem as Israel's capital occurred under King David, who also initiated ...
