In his spiritual education, Abram saw a vision of Canaan’s Land. Then in his moral development, he had to get up and walk. There are three classes of humility before we can look up to the exaltation. The Apostle John was the one who laid his head on Jesus’ Breast.

(Ministerial Convention) Psalm 119:18 says, “Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law..” Ephesians 1:17,18 talks about our inner eyes of understanding being opened. When the eyes of our understanding are darkened, we think that all our happiness, our comfort, our satisfaction depends upon the creature  instead of the Creator.

The LORD’s Name is in the Four Corners. And God takes us to the Poor Corner, the Stranger Corner, the Fatherless Corner, and the Widow Corner to let us get a joining with the Name that is in those Corners. But in order to receive the Name and get joined to the Supreme, Sovereign Creator, the Father, and to the Name that comes through His Son, we have to be separated from creature relationships.

In Matthew 2:1-11, the wise men were aliens to the Commonwealth of Israel; they were strangers to the Covenants of Promise, but they went through all of the sufferings and separations and surrenders and subjection to the Light of that Star in order to take their treasures to the Christ Child because God made manifest His Light to them over there in the East.

This message answers the following question: Please reconcile what is said in Proverbs 26:4-5. It seems like you are in trouble if you answer and you are in trouble if you do not.

We have two choices. We can love Light and hate darkness, or we can hate Light and love darkness. The Bible says, “[W]hatsoever doth make manifest is light” (Ephesians 5:13).

This message explains the difference between a concubine and the Bride. In chapters six and seven of the Song of Solomon, the Bride is pregnant with her Husband’s works. Children are His works.
