Daily Devotional – Helpful or Heartless Toward Others?

Helpful or Heartless Toward Others? – From Utmost.org April 1, 2016 It is Christ…who also makes intercession for us….the Spirit…makes intercession for the saints… —Romans 8:34, 27  Do we need any more arguments than these to become intercessors– that Christ “always lives to make intercession” (Hebrews 7:25), and that the Holy Spirit “makes intercession for the saints”?

But Isaiah implied in this…

Our Lord’s Surprise Visits – From Utmost.org March 29, 2016  You also be ready… —Luke 12:40 A Christian worker’s greatest need is a readiness to face Jesus Christ at any and every turn.

This battle is not against sin, difficulties, or circumstances, but against being so absorbed in our service to Jesus Christ that we are not ready to face Jesus Himself at every turn. The greatest need is…

Daily Devotional – Isn’t There Some Misunderstanding?

Isn’t There Some Misunderstanding? – From Utmost.org March 28, 2016 “Let us go to Judea again.” The disciples said to Him, “…are You going there again?” —John 11:7-8  Just because I don’t understand what Jesus Christ says, I have no right to determine that He must be mistaken in what He says. That is a dangerous view, and it is never right to think that my obedience to God’s directive will bring dishonor to Jesus. The only thing that will…

Spiritual Vision Through Personal Character – From Utmost.org March 27, 2016  Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place… —Revelation 4:1  A higher state of mind and spiritual vision can only be achieved through the higher practice of personal character. If you live up to the highest and best that you know in the outer level of your life, God will continually say to you, “Friend, come up even higher.” There is also a continuing…
