Bible Promises & Prophecy

In April we're launching a Bible Promise Series where Time to Get Ready team members and others from around-the-world will share their favorite Bible promises and the impact each Bible promise has had in their lives. Each week, different people will share Bible promises in a written and/or video format.

I asked God what to do. He said it was not a normal storm, but that it was a demonic storm. He told me to preach louder. The storm grew louder. I was soon impelled to yell the message at the top of my lungs, but the storm now raged like a screaming, mythical monster. People a meter away could not hear a single thing.

Have you ever been on a tour? I don’t know about you, but I enjoy touring historic sites and ancient wonders. Well, a few years ago my wife and I visited Jamestown, California, and toured Railtown 1897 State Historic Park. When I study Revelation, it reminds me of that tour. Except, instead of touring an old railway town, we are following John as he tours the heavenly sanctuary!

God is telling Cyrus, His anointed, and He is telling us, that He will remove all obstacles. He will level the crooked places and smooth the way before us. These solid bronze gates were the gates of Babylon and they were secured with bars of iron, a very strong material. God promised to clear the way and help Cyrus break down these gates.

I wish I could sing special music by myself, but that isn’t one of my talents. I love to sing in groups. It’s uplifting and inspiring to sing hymns or other Christian songs. When I sing with others, I feel close to God. The Lord encourages us to...

Jesus' promise to His own disciples is still open to us: "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men" (Matthew 4:19). Some will be afraid and return home, some will ponder for a while what to do, but everyone who does join will be in for...

A couple years ago, I was on a flight to Boise, Idaho, and by providence, I happened to sit next to a certain woman, and we struck up a conversation. She explained how she loved reading the New Testament, except the Book of Revelation. I inquired why. She said it is very cryptic and scary, and impossible to understand. I asked her if I could...

Jesus commands His followers to live out the light they have received from the Father in Heaven. They are forbidden from covering up God's light. God is glorified through the good works produced when His people live out all the light they have received from Him. When Christians choose not to live out all the light God has given them, they disobey…

Sunflowers are unique in that they follow the sun. In the morning, they face the sunrise. As the sun moves across the heavens during the day, the faces of these flowers are always looking at the sun.
