Isaiah 40:3 "A voice of one calling: 'In the wilderness prepare the way for the Lord; make straight in the desert a highway for our God." The Book of Isaiah is known as the little bible. Split up in the same number of chapters as books in the OT and NT, we see in ch 40 (1st book of NT) the prophecy about John the Baptist. John is in all 4 Gospels heralding Jesus' coming. Let's be like John. It's time to believe. #Christian #God #Jesus #HolySpirit #Time #Present #Believe

Hebrews 7:4 "Just think how great he was: Even the patriarch Abraham gave him a tenth of the plunder!" Melchizedek was both king of Salem, modern day Jerusalem, and High Priest. He greatness was so magnificent that the patriarch Abraham gave up ten percent of Abraham's plunder. How incredible was Melchizedek for him to receive such a gift? #Christian #God #Jesus #HolySpirit #Son #Prince #King

Genesis 5:24 "Enoch walked faithfully with God; then he was no more, because God took him away." If there's anyone person outside of Jesus that I'd like my life to emulate in the Bible, it's Enoch. Enoch was so faithful to God that the Lord spared him from death and just straight up took him away from earth. #Christian #God #Jesus #HolySpirit #Son #Prince #King

Luke 3:38b "the son of Adam, the son of God." Say what you want about Adam and original sin. Even as Luke writes inspired by the Holy Spirit, God calls Adam the son of God. A title reserved for very few in the Bible. #Christian #God #Jesus #HolySpirit #Son #Prince #King

Acts 6:8 "Now Stephen, a man full of God’s grace and power, performed great wonders and signs among the people." Stephen was the first documented Christian to be martyred. A man of power that glorified God in all that he did and said. His selfless sacrifice stirred Christ so much, that Jesus stood up from the throne during Stephen's execution. #Christian #God #Jesus #HolySpirit #Son #Prince #King

John 13:23 "One of them, the disciple whom Jesus loved, was reclining next to him." Isn't it amazing that in a group of twelve men, that included Peter, James, and others. That John the Apostle would be singled out as Jesus' closest friend. John the Beloved. The only one that didn't abandon Jesus during His crucifixion. The only Apostle not to be martyred. #Christian #God #Jesus #HolySpirit #Son #Prince #King

Matthew 16:18 "And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it." Peter is known for many things in the Bible. Walking and then sinking in water. Denying Jesus. Healing the sick. Rising up cripples. Resurrecting the dead. Let's not forget, Cephas (the Rock) was the person Jesus built His church upon. And it's still going strong today! #Christian #God #Jesus #HolySpirit #Son #Prince #King

Acts 9:40 "Peter sent them all out of the room; then he got down on his knees and prayed. Turning toward the dead woman, he said, “Tabitha, get up.” She opened her eyes, and seeing Peter she sat up." Tabitha was so loved by the people that they sent for Peter to resurrect her from the dead. She made clothes, helped the poor, always doing good. If you want another example, she's an amazing one! #Christian #God #Jesus #HolySpirit #Daughter #Princess #Queen

Luke 1:28 "The angel went to her and said, "Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.'" How about that for a greeting for Mary? Highly favored of the Lord. In all of history, Mary was selected to be mother of Jesus. Do you know why? Reading the Bible the one trait stands out the most - humility. She had a ton of it! #Christian #God #Jesus #HolySpirit #Daughter #Princess #Queen

Esther 2:17b "So he set a royal crown on her head and made her queen instead of Vashti." Queen Esther was born for a time such as this. She rose up before her king, faced death, and rescued her entire people from extinction. She is heralded even today with the Jewish Holiday Purim celebrated every year. #Christian #God #Jesus #HolySpirit #Daughter #Princess #Queen

Judges 4:9 "'Certainly I will go with you,' said Deborah. 'But because of the course you are taking, the honor will not be yours, for the Lord will deliver Sisera into the hands of a woman.' So Deborah went with Barak to Kedesh." Deborah was a prophet, judge, leader, warrior, and heroine. That's a resume! She's one of the greatest women in the Bible. Not even war bothered her. She was fearless. #Christian #God #Jesus #HolySpirit #Daughter #Princess #Queen

Exodus 15:20 "Then Miriam the prophet, Aaron’s sister, took a timbrel in her hand, and all the women followed her, with timbrels and dancing." Over a thousand years before Christ walked the earth, we hear Moses proclaiming that his sister was the first documented female prophet in the Bible. Powerfully proclaiming a prophetic song before the Lord after the Red Sea. #Christian #God #Jesus #HolySpirit #Daughter #Princess #Queen

Romans 16:7 "Greet Andronicus and Junia, my fellow Jews who have been in prison with me. They are outstanding among the apostles, and they were in Christ before I was." Let me introduce you to one of the first women apostles in the first century church Junia. Powerfully noted by Paul because of her faithfulness, so much so, she was believer before Paul came to Christ. #Christian #God #Jesus #HolySpirit #Daughter #Princess #Queen

John 11:43 "When he had said this, Jesus called in a loud voice, 'Lazarus, come out!'" I'll have to admit that I have yet to experience a resurrection first hand. Although there are some that I know who have. What's more powerful than conquering death and raising someone who left this world back to full life? #Christian #God #Jesus #HolySpirit #Power #Superpower #Superhero

Acts 5:15 "As a result, people brought the sick into the streets and laid them on beds and mats so that at least Peter’s shadow might fall on some of them as he passed by." Jesus told us that we would the same and greater miracles. How about healing everyone just walking by with the touch of your shadow? This is the equivalent of a Faith Healer walking into a hospital and totally clearing it out. #Christian #God #Jesus #HolySpirit #Power #Superpower #Superhero

Acts 19:12 "so that even handkerchiefs and aprons that had touched him were taken to the sick, and their illnesses were cured and the evil spirits left them." Here's another next level miracle. This time, Paul blesses some handkerchiefs and aprons. The people take them to the sick and demon possessed. What happens next? They are healed. They demons are driven out. That's next level. #Christian #God #Jesus #HolySpirit #Power #Superpower #Superhero

Matthew 14:29 "'Come,' he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus." Many people focus on the negatives that happened after Peter faltered. Let's speak some truth. Jesus spoke to all the disciples. Peter was the only one to step out. Not only did he actually walk on water. He would've made it to Jesus had he stayed focused on him. Think about that! #Christian #God #Jesus #HolySpirit #Power #Superpower #Superhero

2 Kings 4:41 "Elisha said, 'Get some flour.' He put it into the pot and said, 'Serve it to the people to eat.' And there was nothing harmful in the pot." We know that you should check the wild ingredients before putting anything in a soup. These men didn't and would've died had Elisha not intervened. Elisha put flour, symbolic of Jesus, into the pot and death went away! #Christian #God #Jesus #HolySpirit #Power #Superpower #Superhero

Exodus 14:21 "Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and all that night the Lord drove the sea back with a strong east wind and turned it into dry land. The waters were divided" Moses, like Elijah, carried the gift of miracles handed to them by the Spirit of God. The Red Sea moment is one of the greatest show of power God ever did in the Bible. This might surprise some, but Moses was no different than us. God's been parting the Red Sea in peoples' lives ever since! #Christian #God #Jesus #HolySpirit #Power #Superpower #Superhero

2 Kings 1:10 "Elijah answered the captain, 'If I am a man of God, may fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty men!" Then fire fell from heaven and consumed the captain and his men." Elijah was a powerful prophet in manner and deed. He prayed to stop the rain. He called down fire to consume a sacrifice and to battle his enemies. Elijah knew the source of his power was God. Being led by the Spirit, Elijah wasn't afraid to glory God in any moment. #Christian #God #Jesus #HolySpirit #Power #Superpower #Superhero

1 John 4:17b "because as He is, so are we in this world." Kicking off a new series today to show the children of God the power they have in Christ Jesus. Notice the present tense terms used. As Jesus is today seated at the right hand of the Father, so we we in this world. Yep, His power is our power. #Christian #God #Jesus #HolySpirit #Power #Superpower #Superhero

Romans 5:5 "And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us." Holy Spirit lives in all believers. He's the very conduit that God pours His love into us. The Holy Spirit loves us all dearly. He will never lead you astray. Constantly giving you advice, exhortation, and comfort. He even intercedes to God on our behalf based upon our needs and wants. #Christian #God #Jesus #HolySpirit #Love

John 15:9 "As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love." Jesus spoke clearly that He only does what He saw the Father doing. As the Father loves Him, so He loves us. He loves us perfectly. Willing to go to the cross on our behalf. He knew we couldn't reconcile us to His Father. So Jesus took it upon Himself to right all the wrongs. #Christian #God #Jesus #HolySpirit #Love

1 John 4:7 "Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God." The Father's love is undeniable. All love is sourced in the Almighty, the Ancient One. He is love, gave up His Son for us all. When we love each other, we are emulating our Father. We know and love. Him. He knows and loves us. #Christian #God #Jesus #HolySpirit #Father #Love
