Click on Title for Video Intro Monday, Revelation Chapter 9 Revelation 9 Verse 20a Jeanie Boldt Verse 20a:  The rest of mankind that were not killed by these plagues still did not repent of the work of their hands. THOUGHT As the events of the final trumpets unfold, we see God unleashing the forces of evil upon the world. These forces will plague the world with increasing intensity, but they will do so only at God’s command. The Sound of Trumpet Five:  A star falls to earth from God Himself and has a key to open the Abyss, hell itself. This place is the demon’s place of confinement. The demons are instruments of God’s judgment with their power being limited to what God will allow. Smoke arises from the Abyss as it is opened, which darkens the sun. From the smoke, comes a plague of locusts. These locusts strike only people without God’s seal, so that they suffer but do not die. They are allowed the plague humanity for five months, a period of time suggested by the life cycle of...

  Click on Title for Video Intro Monday, Revelation Chapter 4 Revelation 4 Delores Little THOUGHT  This is one of the chapters that has praise in it to our Heavenly Father. First thing John heard was a trumpet speaking to him like a voice.  Then he was in the Spirit and was taken into heaven to see a throne with someone sitting on it.  Verse 3 says “And the One who sat had the appearance of jasper and ruby.  A rainbow, resembling an emerald, encircled the throne.”  What a sight to see.  Verse 4 talks about the 24 elders dressed in white with crowns of gold on their heads.  Verse 5 tells how from the throne came flashes of lighting and rumblings and peals of thunder.  There were seven lamps blazing which were the seven Spirits.  The throne was like a sea of glass clear as crystal. I don’t know about you, but knowing me I would have been scared to death. What an awesome sight this had to have been for John. Someday we will be able to see a...

  Click on Title for Video Intro Monday, Revelation Intro Revelation Intro Delores Little THOUGHT Most people are afraid to get into Revelation. When you accept Jesus, this book is better every time you read it. The number 7 is in this book 52 times, and it means completeness. Grace is found only twice. You will see Jesus in a new way. You will find this book a book of worship and praise, glory and judgment and new life in the heavens with God. A lot of what is in the Old Testament is found in this book.  So put on your seat belts as we are going for a Spiritual Ride through this great book. As John states in the first chapter, “Blessed is the one who READS the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near.” PRAYER Heavenly Father, open our eyes and hearts to hear and understand what You have for us to learn in this book. We praise and thank You right now as You take the lead and drive us through the...

  Click on title for Video Introduction Monday, I John Chapter 5 I John 5 Verses 6-8 Delores Little Verses 6-8: “This is He that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that bears witness, because the Spirit is truth. For there are three that bear record in heaven; the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness on earth. The Spirit, and the water, and the blood; and these three agree in one."  THOUGHT Chapter 5 deals with faith in Jesus Christ. Here we have the Father, Jesus, and Holy Spirit. Each one does what the Father has them do.  All three are in agreement, and They are one. What helps me understand this better is marriage.  Here we were two different people that got married but became one. How cool is that! Only difference is the God Head agrees, and we sometimes do not.  But still we are one.  What we have is a FAITH IN THE ...

Click on Title for Video Intro Monday, I John Intro 1 John Introduction Bart Strayer Hello everyone. Here is a brief introduction to John. We will start Chapter 1 tomorrow.  THOUGHT John's letter contains some of my favorite material in the Bible. John's letters contain a broad sweeping of Biblical truths and inspiring notations. More notably, part of John's letter speaks of strengthening vital aspects of our faith so that we are more equipped to understand Christian truths from error. It is so important in this day to understand God's doctrine so that we may guard ourselves from the teachers that can lead us astray. That is why it is so important for ALL of us to be in the Word on a daily basis.  Thank God for the Salt Shakers!  PRAYER Heavenly Father, help us to 1earn more about You. Help strengthen our knowledge and faith through your word written by the Apostle John. We pray that you will help us understand the truths you speak of through the Bible.  We are so th...

288th Week, Job Chapters 40-42 and Philemon Intro - Chapter 1(Click on Title for Video Introduction)

Click on Title for Video Intro Monday, Job Chapter 40 Job 40 Verse 4 Jane Jones Verse 4:  “I am unworthy — how can I reply to you? I put my hand over my mouth.” THOUGHT Throughout this time of suffering, Job longed to have an opportunity to plead his innocence before God. Here God appeared to Job and gave him that opportunity. But Job decided to remain quiet because it was no longer necessary for him to speak. God had shown Job that as a limited human being, he had neither the ability to judge the God who created the universe nor the right to ask why God’s actions do not depend on ours. He will do what he knows is best regardless of what we think is fair. Salt Shakers, please accept my apologies if I offend anyone when I say this. “It is time for the book of Job to be over.”  I think the thing that bothers me the most about the book of Job is that it all started with the allowance from God to Satan to tempt Job. Satan was allowed to destroy Job’s everything, and from beginning...
