"Now therefore give me this mountain, whereof the LORD spoke in that day; for thou heardest in that day how the Anakims were there, and that the cities were great and fenced: if so be the LORD will be with me, then I shall be able to drive them out, as the LORD said." - Joshua 14:12 There was something different about Caleb and Joshua. It was the cry of the mountain.
"Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross". - Colossians 2:14
Jesus in answer to Peter's objection to a foot washing said, "If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me." Peter then wants to be fully washed, but Jesus explains that he has already been washed (a reference to baptism), and that a person who has already bathed needs only to clean the dust from their feet. We are the redeemed, dust represents point of contact with the temporal world. We are in the world, but not of the world. Genesis 3:19 "for dust thou art, and unto dust thou shalt return." Dust is the stuff we're made from, it speaks of the created material world. We have this treasure in earthen vessels.
By and large "down" is considered negative. In contrast, "up" sounds real good. This is the mindset of our society. It has always been the way the world thinks. It is in perfect accord with the human ego. However, John the Baptist introduced a new perspective as he said, "I must decrease".
Continuing from the morning's theme - Holy Ghost Sunday, this is a study of diverse kinds of tongues primarily focusing on I Corinthians 12 and 14. I Cor 12:30 says that not all speak with tongues. This verse has been misunderstood by many to mean that tongues are not the initial evidence of having been filled with the Holy Ghost, but this passage is a reference to the gift of tongues for interpretation, not the phenomena occuring upon the infilling of the Spirit.
Receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost, being filled with the Holy Ghost, or being baptized with the Holy Ghost all refer to the experience described by our Lord in Acts 1:8 where it records his words, "Ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you..."

What is the weapon Satan fears the most? Is it faith, prayer or praise? While these are all great weapons in the Christian's arsenal, there is one weapon superior to all these.
The ravens brought bread and flesh morning and evening while Elijah dwelt by the brook Cherith, "And it came to pass after a while, that the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land." - I Kings 17:7 There is a reason for every brook that dries up; it is for us to discover and understand why.
