Secrets Of The Lord

Secrets Of The Lord Have you ever told someone a secret; something just between you and a friend, that the world could never know? Have you ever been told a secret; some mysterious thing just meant for you to know, and no one else? I'm sure we all have shared secrets with friends at one time or another. Webster's 1828 Dictionary defines secret as something "concealed from the notice or knowledge of all persons except the individual or individuals concerned." There are some passages in the Bible that refer to secrets. Deuteronomy 29:29 The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law. This is an example of things that we are not meant to know in our pilgrimage down here on earth. But there are many things that the Lord has revealed to us in His Word, and it is up to us to study it and find the treasures hidden within, so to speak. Daniel 2:22 He r...

Abraham Offered Isaac

Abraham Offered Isaac (Genesis 22) A Type Of Christ Genesis 22:1-2 And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am. And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of. Abraham, the Father of faith, the "father of a multitude" (as his name signified), had been walking with the Lord God for possibly fifty years or more at this time. He had gone through various tests and trials - each one strengthening his faith a little more; and he was about to face his toughest test yet! God was going to test/tempt him (which basically means, "to try, to prove" him) to show to himself and to the world how much he loved God and the evidence of his faith. Hebrews 11:17-18 By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac : and he that had received the ...

Welcome To Eagle's Wings Ministries! But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

I am a member of an Independent, Fundamental Baptist church in Chilliwack, BC, named Faith Baptist Church.

Rest For Your Souls

Rest For Your Souls Part Two - The Rest Of Victory In Christ Psalm 23:1-3 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake. What a blessing it is for the children of God to walk with Jesus day by day, to live in continual fellowship with Him, trusting in Him for their every care and need. What a privilege to know this Shepherd as our personal Saviour. We need never fear when we remember that Jesus is always with us. He continually makes us to lie down in green pastures and is ever leading us beside still waters. The perfect peace and rest He provides is more than we could ever imagine. This psalm gives us a beautiful picture of what it is to rest content in the Saviour, our Shepherd. That is a privilege only His children can claim. Exodus 33:14 And He said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest . Are ...

And I Will Give You Rest

And I Will Give You Rest Part One - The Rest Of Salvation To quote a hymn writer: "Are you weak and heavy laden, cumbered with a load of care?" What are you doing with your burdens? Are you trying to carry them yourself? Are you weighed down with trying to reach Heaven through your own good deeds and righteousness? Are you oppressed by all the legalistic rules that religious leaders have placed upon you? Matthew 23:4 For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers. These burdens of men are heavy and grievous indeed! It doesn't have to be that way. Jesus said in Matthew 11:28  Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. There is a rest found only in the Saviour that the religions of the world can never offer you. It is the rest from striving for perfection, striving to keep the Law, striving to make your good deeds outweigh your ...
