Soaked in Holiness

Last updated on: June 5, 2018 at 10:06 am By Jim Erwin

Soaked in Holiness “Make atonement for the Altar and consecrate it for seven days; the Altar will become soaked in holiness—anyone who so much as touches the Altar will become holy.” (Exodus 29:37, The Message) “Getting soaked” is a term we use to mean that someone is wet. They get drenched in water completely from head to toe. As a result, they are full of whatever made them wet. If they were dunked in a dunking booth, then they... Read more

What Is It?

Last updated on: May 31, 2018 at 10:42 pm By Jim Erwin

What Is It? “When the Israelites saw it, they asked one another, “What is it?” because they didn’t know what it was. Moses told them, “It is the bread the Lord has given you to eat.” (Exodus 16:15, HCSB) The Hebrew word man-hu, literally means “What is it?” This is the name the people of Israel gave the bread which God provided on their way out of Egypt in the desert. This “bread” is strange indeed. It would only appear... Read more

Last updated on: June 5, 2018 at 9:57 am By Jim Erwin

Satan Acts Like a Prowling Internet Robot “Put on the full armor of God so that you can stand against the tactics of the Devil.” (Ephesians 6:11, HCSB) I have noticed on my statistics to this blog a couple of referral blogs with names like: vampirestat, villianstat, adsensewatchdog, zombiestat, and uglystat. These websites (which I will not link on this page, nor will I share the full website), are spam bot websites. They form false visitors to your website. They... Read more

But let the girls live.”” (Exodus 1:22, The Message) After Joseph died, there arose a Pharaoh (King) who didn’t know Joseph.

Last updated on: June 14, 2018 at 1:25 pm By Jim Erwin

Getting God’s Comfort in the Midst of Change Getting God’s Comfort in the Midst of Change is a simple thought reflection from Genesis 46:3-4 about the way one can receive comfort from God in the midst of change. “God said, “I am the God of your father.

Jealousy Makes You Do Strange Things

Last updated on: June 6, 2018 at 2:05 pm By Jim Erwin

Jealousy Makes You Do Strange Things “Now his brothers were really jealous; but his father brooded over the whole business.” (Genesis 37:11, The Message) God gave Joseph a set of dreams. God gave him prophetic insight. This prophetic insight was actually given to the Joseph for the benefit of the family. Whoever God placed in Joseph’s path would benefit from the dreams that he was having. Instead of seeing how God was helping the family by giving the younger brother... Read more
