1. Is a Grain of Mustard Seed Really All it Takes? October 13, 2008 Have you ever heard that statement "all you need is faith the size of a mustard seed and you can move a mountain"? The idea behind it whenever most Christians quote that comes from a misunderstanding that faith is not measurable, but we all have the same proportion. I hope in the next few paragraphs to show otherwise, and maybe we as a body of Christ could do away with that cliched saying that misinterprets Scripture. Let's look at one of the instances in the Gospel where Jesus says this. This misinterpretation gets on my nerves when I hear people teach and believe this passage to mean th...

3. The Sprig Of The Fig Tree-Summer Is Coming April 28, 2008 Be watchful for the Return of Jesus, for you do not know when He shall come. But you do know it will be soon, as the Parable of the Fig Tree teaches you. You can see that the summer Jesus spoke of is coming. "But from the Fig Tree learn the Parable!" Jesus said, "When its branches become tender, and the leaves spring forth, know that summer is near. So also you, when you see all these things, know it is near at the doors. "Amen I say to you, in no way should this generation pass away until whenever all these things shall come to pass. The Heaven and the earth shall pass a... (read more) Author: Jason Witt

4. The Parable Of The Priest Of The Feast April 22, 2008 Jesus taught the Parable of the Wedding Feast for you when God calls. Some people do not want to answer His Call and come to Heaven because they are busy with life on this earth. You will see in these Last Days how Heaven is much better than life on earth. "The Kingdom of the Heavens is like a man, a king," Jesus said, "who prepared wedding feasts for his son. And he sent his servants to call those invited to the wedding feasts; and they did not want to come. "Again he sent other servants, saying, 'Say to the ones invited, "Behold my dinner is prepared; the bullocks and fatt... (read more) Author: Jason Witt

5. Stone Of Atonement-The Prophecy Rejected April 21, 2008 When Jesus told the Parable of the Master of the Vineyard, He spoke of Himself as the Stone which the builders rejected. God made this Stone the Cornerstone. If you reject the Prophecy of Jesus, God will still make Him the Cornerstone. In this Parable Jesus taught about the Master of the Vineyard who turned over the land to growers. He built a tower and a fence and a winevat and let them produce the fruits of the Vineyard. He was away traveling on business but at the time of harvest He sent servants to gather of the Fruits of the Vineyard. But the growers beat and killed the serv... (read more) Author: Jason Witt

6. Trial Of The Child-Answering The Call Of God April 19, 2008 Jesus also taught the Parable of the Two Children. You need to become the son who said he would not go serve his father but repented and ended up going and doing the work. If you are like the other son you probably won't get into Heaven. Jesus had just finished asking the chief priests and the elders about the Baptism of John the Baptist. They had answered they didn't know whether it was of man or of God. Jesus taught another Parable then, that of the Two Children. "But what do you think?" Jesus said. "A certain man had two children. And coming to the first, he said, 'C...

7. The Place Of Great Grace In The End-times April 13, 2008 When Jesus told the Parable of the workers in the Vineyard He was foretelling the Last Days of the End-times now coming. You will be one of the last workers hired and you will receive a reward equal to those who have carried the Prophecy throughout history. In the Parable, Jesus tells of the Master of a Vineyard who goes out to hire workers. The first ones He hired in the morning and promised them a certain wage. He went out to hire more in the third hour, and more in the sixth and ninth hours. Finally in the eleventh hour He hired the last of the workers, telling them they would...

8. Don't LeaveYour Brand New Cadillac In The Junkyard: Part II April 09, 2008 "In his grace, God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well. So if God has given you the ability to prophesy, speak out with as much faith as God has given you." Romans 12:6 (NLT) You say you have no gift, no talent to use for the glory of God? Sorry, the Father says you do. We have all been given different spiritual gifts. Whatever gift you have been given, Scripture says you should use it as often and as much as you can. It is heartbreaking for our Father to know just how much potential He crafted into us, only to watch His gifts being squandered. Everyone... (read more) Author: Timothy Davis

9. Don't LeaveYour Brand New Cadillac In The Junkyard April 09, 2008 " The king said to him, ‘I will judge you by your own words, you wicked slave! So you knew, did you, that I was a severe man, withdrawing what I didn’t deposit and reaping what I didn’t sow? Why then didn’t you put my money in the bank, so that when I returned I could have collected it with interest?’ And he said to his attendants, 'Take the mina from him, and give it to the one who has ten.’ But they said to him, ‘Sir, he has ten minas already!’ ‘I tell you that everyone who has will be given more, but from the one who does not have, even what he has will be taken away." Luke 19:2... (read more) Author: Timothy Davis

10. Joining The Net Set At The End Of The World April 01, 2008 When you receive the Seal you will begin to understand the Parable of the Fishing Net in the End of the Age. This Parable describes what is beginning now and coming soon to all the people of the earth. "The Kingdom of Heaven is like a Net thrown into the sea," Jesus said, "gathering together of every kind. Which when it was full was brought to the shore. And they sat down to gather the good into vessels but throw out the rotten. "Thus shall it be in the Fulfillment of the Age. The angels shall go and separate the evil from the midst of the righteous. And they shall throw t... (read more) Author: Jason Witt

11. The Precious Pearl Of The End Of The World March 29, 2008 When you receive the Seal you will receive the Kingdom of Heaven like you receive the most precious pearl, for the Kingdom of Heaven is like a most valuable pearl, worth everything you have. "The Kingdom of Heaven is likened unto a merchant man seeking good pearls," said Jesus, "who having found one valuable pearl, having gone forth sells all, as much as he has, and buys it." This is one of the shortest and simplest parables Jesus spoke of. And you can agree that pearls are beautiful and valuable. But there is prophetic significance in this parable too. An oyster cre...

12. The Measure Of The Treasure In The Field March 28, 2008 When you receive the Seal you will understand the parable Jesus taught about the treasure hidden in the field. The Seal set upon you is that field and the treasure is your value which you give to God. When God sets His Seal upon you He writes His Name upon you. The Seal and the Name of God are then upon your forehead where they are close to your thoughts. And your thoughts are why you are sealed upon your forehead. When you are sealed upon your forehead your mind belongs to God. You can still have thoughts that stray from God and you can have thoughts the devil sows there... (read more) Author: Jason Witt

13. Weeds Among The Wheat-Invasive Species In The End-times March 27, 2008 When you receive the Seal you will be considered good wheat sown in the Garden of God. However, the enemy is sowing weeds in the wheat field, and this is happening now in these last days of the End-times. Jesus taught the Parable of the Tares, where the Kingdom of Heaven was likened unto a man who sowed good seed in his field. But while the men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares, or weeds, in the midst of the grain. And when the blade came forth and produced fruit, the tares appeared also. So the servants asked the sower, "Lord, didn't you sow good seed in your field? Wher... (read more) Author: Jason Witt

14. Easter through the parable of Butterfly March 25, 2008 As a butterfly ascended overhead, one caterpillar alleged to the other, "You'll by no means get me up in one of those things." Yet for all caterpillars the time comes when the push to eat and grow collapses and he instinctively begins to form a cocoon around him. The cocoon hardens and you'd think for the entire world that the caterpillar is dead. But one spring dawn the life inside the cocoon begins to wriggle, the top splits open, and a beautifully-formed butterfly surfaces. For hours it will stand broadening and drying its wings, moving them sluggishly up and down, up and d... (read more) Author: Monish mohan

15. WORLD PEACE STORY - how peace came to the world March 25, 2008 HOW PEACE CAME TO THE WORLD A parable. A World In Strife War had waged in the world for thousands of years. Violence and crime were rampant, the people lived in terror. No matter what they tried as groups or individuals, nothing changed. Anti-war protests, greater law enforcement, petitions, rallies, political pressure, sanctions - nothing produced the desired effect. Nobody wanted war and violence, but the governments of the world seemed determined that they should happen. Terrorist extremists had an ever tightening hold on communities, c...

16. The Parable of Talents February 10, 2008 You attract what you do about what you think. It says, you attract what you think about. But, do your results in sales and leadership support this definition? Mine have not. I thought about getting straight level 1 during my school days and having the physique of a body builder, but neither happened. Why is that? It's because The Law of Attraction is a misnomer. It's really The Law of Attraction, which is a combination of attraction and action. You don't attract what you think about, but you attract what you do about what you think. The key is action! And when you do take action, you must ... (read more) Author: Christopher Panlaqui

17. Letting The Electate Have Heaven January 21, 2008 When you receive the Seal you will be chosen of God even if you were not predestined by Him from the beginning. And you will be chosen regardless of your past sins. You will be the electate, for God will receive you and call you His own. Some people were predestined or predefined by God from the beginning. These are undoubtedly the chosen of God. But others are chosen by God after they have decided to come to God. Even if you make the decision to come to God you will still be chosen. God will still choose you in the electation. You will not have been chosen from the begin... (read more) Author: Jason Witt

18. Be Watching And Wary For The Invitary-God Will Call You Home December 28, 2007 When you receive the Seal you will hear the invitary calling. The invitary is where God calls you home to Heaven. When He calls and you are sealed, you are ready to go join Him for eternity. “A certain man,” said Jesus, “made a huge supper, and invited many. And he sent his servant at the supper hour, to say to the invited ones, ‘Come! For all is prepared.’ And all of them began, one by one, to ask to be pardoned.” This was a parable Jesus taught about a man on earth who threw a supper and all his friends and acquaintances decided they did not want to come to the supper. Sad, ... (read more) Author: Jason Witt

19. Sown in the Synetic Seeing December 21, 2007 When you receive the Seal you will eventually begin to have synetic perception. Synetic perception is seeing the Word of God and His Messages as they truly are, and understanding them with all comprehension. When you are sealed you will be blessed with understanding the parables of Jesus. You will be as His disciples, who He revealed the parables to. God will reveal them to your synetic perception. One parable Jesus already fully explained is the Parable of the Sower. A sower went out to sow seeds. Jesus will be the first sower to sow seeds in you. After Him you may become ...

20. The Geotype From The Form Of The Earth December 20, 2007 When you receive the Seal it will be a geotype--in the shape of the earth ready to grow the seed. It is a geotype because it is like the earth ready to nourish the seed until it grows up and bears fruit. “This is the kingdom of God,” Jesus said, “as if a person should throw the seed upon the earth, and should sleep, and should arise night and day, and the seed should burst forth, and should lengthen as he does not know.” Jesus told this parable in Mark which is not recorded in any of the other gospels. A person comes to sow seed and it grows up out of the earth without the help... (read more) Author: Jason Witt

21. The Secret Power of Ron Paul's Campaign November 21, 2007 Jesus likened God's kingdom to a farmer who plants seed in the ground and trusts that the seed will grow even though he doesn't understand why or how the seed grows. Christ also likens God's kingdom to a mustard seed, which is small, yet it grows into a large plant, big enough for birds to perch in. So also, although Ron Paul is unimpressive by measurable standards, he represents ideas and philosophies that are greater than himself or any other man. By his concern for the greater good he is tapping into an unexpected power similar to that which Christ tried to illustrate on several occasi... (read more) Author: Patrick Roberts

22. Job's Miracles Revisited October 31, 2007 REMEMBERING THE PARABLE I found myself moved, in a session with a wonderful, long-standing client today, to retell the story of Job. It was a struggle for my already way-overstocked memory, for it's been a very long time since I read this parable in the New Testament. I further remembered, once I began digging for my memories, how this story had been required reading during my senior year of high school for my English class. I must admit, I still see the teacher as if, as the saying goes, "it were yesterday" (would that were the case - and of course, I wouldn't go back to th... (read more) Author: Marjorie Price

23. The Black Girl in Search of God and Some Lesser tales by George Bernard Shaw October 25, 2007 The title piece in this anthology is a parable on the nature of religious belief. When first published in 1932 it caused quite a stir and I wondered whether the intervening 75 years might have rendered it something less of a shocker. I found that, apart from one violation of current political correctness and a few inevitable stylistic issues, the message had lost none of its poignancy and perhaps little of its ability to shock. The Black Girl in Search of God is not a novel or a novella. It is not really a short story either. I choose to describe it as a parable because others have, but e...

24. The Parable Of' 'The Two Teams' October 12, 2007 In the parable of 'The Two Teams' as in any sporting competition today there must be at least two players if not two teams. In order to be able to distinguish any two teams we usually implore the use of two different colored jerseys. So in our parable we also have two teams. One team is referred to as the home team with its distinguishing color being black. Our other team is referred to as the visitors and their distinguishing color is white. For the case of argument and because we all enjoy easy to understand analogies or stories, we will refer to our two teams as the dark team and the light ... (read more) Author: Theresa Twogood
