DAN BISER II

Greetings, "In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple."  Isaiah 6:1 What a Divine moment! Have you had a Divine moment recently? Has your church experienced one? Last year, Steve Gaines shared that during one of their Sunday services at Bellevue Baptist in Memphis, God came into the service in a powerful way. Steve said, “God just took over. Only twice in my ministry have I experienced something like that.” Great movements of God come through prayer and fasting. God is sovereign and can do anything He wants, whenever He wants. He is not bound by our scheduled services or even by our calls for prayer and fasting. Yet, historical records reveal that whenever God was preparing to move in a Divine way, He first set His people to pray. Our world is in chaos. Our cities and streets in the U.S. are filled with anarchy and evil. The Church languishes, desperate for Divine help. As the Church goes, ...

 Greetings, "Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses. . . "  Hebrews 12:1 The call for prayer & fasting across SBC is still being submitted to many parts of SBC life. The 1st Thursday of each month, you are being asked to set aside time to fast and pray for revival to come to SBC churches, the church as a whole; and to pray for spiritual awakening to come to those lost and without Christ. Join us! be a part of this and encourage others to join in your respective places of service and leadership to be a part of this call for us to seek the Lord for what only the Lord can do. Consider this phrase out Hebrews 12:1! We are entailed with this great cloud of heavenly hosts. We see this also in II Kings with the prophet Elisha. As the king of Syria had sent his army to take Elisha, for he was telling the king of Israel where the enemy was to be found. Elisha is sitting on the hill top, unfazed, calm; no fear, no anxiety. But his servant wa...

 Greetings, "Whither shall we go up?" Deuteronomy 1:28 Moses, the servant of the Lord, declared the murmuring of the children of Israel against God. The spies had gone into the Promised Land and searched it out, only to return with a discouraging report—stoking fear and doubt that they would not be able to take the land or conquer their enemies. Only Caleb and Joshua faithfully declared that they would be able to do so, because God was with them. But in the midst of this fury of complaints and murmuring against God, the people asked, "Whither shall we go up?" One cannot do anything without the Lord. Often, men do not know where to look or whom to trust. But we, as the Church, know to look unto Jesus and to trust in the Lord. He brings us up by the way He would have us go. His will and His ways are always right. Many are searching for answers, direction, and divine help to know which way to go. There is no better place to turn than before the Lord. Ask, and it shall ...

 Greetings, "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not!" Luke 13:34 "O America, America how often I would have gather you unto Me. . . but you would not!" Christ expresses His desire for Jerusalem to come unto Him; but they would not. In Isaiah, God declared all that He had done for Israel, and yet they would not serve Him. God sent Nathan the prophet to King David, after David had taken Bathsheba, committing adultery and then killing Urijah her husband. Nathan declared God's words to David, "I gave you your enemies, I gave you riches and wealth and all the kingdom. And if that was too small for you, how much more would I have given to you?" But he would not and sinned greatly against the Lord. Our nation has been blessed above all nations with advancement, wealth, technology, freedo...

 Greetings, "And it came to pass, while they were slaying them, and I was left, that I fell upon my face, and cried, and said, Ah Lord God! wilt Thou destroy all the residue of Israel in Thy pouring out of Thy fury upon Jerusalem?" Ezekiel 9:8 This is a sobering picture of God taking the prophet Ezekiel through the city of Jerusalem and into the temple, revealing the wicked activities of its men and leaders—their great abominations against the Lord. God commands Ezekiel to witness these earthly events, and then He allows him to observe the heavenly response. God sends forth an angel with an inkhorn to mark those who are humble and seeking the Lord. Then comes a clear command: another angel is to take a sword and go through the city, slaying all who do not bear the mark on their foreheads. As the angel carries out this judgment, Ezekiel—shaken and filled with holy fear—cries out, “Will You destroy all the remnant of Israel?” (Ezekiel 9:8). Later, in chapter 11, as Ezekiel is p...

 Greetings, Matthew 17:20 - 21, "And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith of a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place: and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. v. 21 Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting." Matthew 18:18 - 20, "Verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth, shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. v. 19 Again, I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of My Father which is in heaven. v. 20 For where two or three are gathered together in My Name, there am I in the midst of them."  Matthew 21:21 & 22, "Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ...
