How to Taste and See That the Lord is Good

By
Here's my thought about...

You can truly taste something only when you eat it. I can show you an apple and describe that it is beautiful, ripe, sweet, and soft. You can mentally form an image. However, you will never experience the taste until you eat it. The same way you can only taste God when you go through very trying circumstances and sufferings. Christian websites cannot help you in those situations.

Circumstances create opportunity

When you go through difficult financial, relational, or physical circumstances, sometimes it is impossible to solve them. This is an opportunity for you to taste God in action. When your self-efforts or even other human sources let you down, you have a choice to look up to God.

You can read the Bible. Do Research on books and media. Go to Christian websites. However, they cannot help you. You will go through situations where you need to experience the goodness of God in intervening for you. Otherwise you would have no idea how good it.

Human efforts have limitations

God is always there to come to our rescue. However, we usually go to him as a last resort. Still he is willing to save us. The point is only when your efforts and other human help reaches a point of helplessness, you can say with certainty that only God helped. If you do not go through this then you cannot say with full confidence, 'O taste, and see that the Lord is good.'

Yes, God commands you to use your available resources, knowledge, common sense, and ingenuity. You can pray for wisdom as well. However, you exhaust these resources, it is usually a miracle, or direct intervention from God is what you need. Christian websites cannot help you.

God is not limited

God has neither limitations nor impossibilities. He is omnipotent. Resources or circumstances do not limit him. Faith believes that God exists and that he rewards those who diligently seek him. The bible affirms that God intercepts and intervenes on your behalf. Christian websites cannot help you When you reach a dead end, nowhere to turn, go to God. Read and assure yourself countless stories of miracles in the bible.

God invites us to seek him

There are some stipulations before God can act on your behalf. You need to seek him with all your heart. This suggests the seriousness and desire to reach God. When you seek him with all your heart, you will find him. However, If you go to him with doubts, fears and alternate plans, the bible says such a person will not receive anything from God. The intention and attitude makes the difference.

King David experienced all types of situations, trials, and humiliations in his lifetime. IN all these, the bible says David strengthened himself in the Lord. You should go to God when all else fails, then you will taste that the lord is good.

Gershon Salomon saved by God's Angels

By
Here's my thought about... Leadership of the Temple Mount Faithful The founder and leader of the Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement is Gershon Salomon. In his private life, Gershon is an expert researcher and lecturer in Middle Eastern studies, specializing in the history of the national movement of the Kurdish people. He is an officer in the Israel Defense Force. Gershon is a 10th generation Jerusalemite. He is descended from Rabbi Avraham Solomon Zalman Zoref who settled in Jerusalem in 1811. Rabbi Zoref was the first Jewish pioneer in Jerusalem to start the redemptive process of the people and the land by rebuilding the waste land. He even sent out one of his sons to locate the ten lost tribes to bring them back to the Land of Israel, because he knew the return of the ten tribes was a condition for the redemptive process. Rabbi Zoref was assassinated by Arabs who thought they could stop this G-dly process. Even as a child, Gershon Sa...

Financial, Creative Miracles still Occurs Today

By
Here's my thought about... Financial Miracles When I got the revelation that Christ was in us the hope of Glory ( 1. Cor. 1:27 ) my miracle ministry really took off. What I saw was that if Christ is in us then He can still do through us what He did in Bible days. As I traveled ministering healing my heart went out for the people's prosperity as well. I began to search the scriptures and I saw so many instances of Jesus doing Financial Miracles that I began to believe and expect for those things to happen. I mean after all He is in me right? One thing I learned is that God moves on the Earth by Faith and by Seed. I sought out miracle ministries that also had financial miracles happening and I began to partner with them and to sow seed into that anointing. Today this is a regular occurrence in my ministry. It seems that anyone who sows into my ministry receives financial miracles. Amazing things. I only share this from the heart to tell you exactly how I do what I do, so you can ...

Believing God for Financial Miracles

Here's my thought about... Faith for Finances How would you like to amass so much wealth that you could educate 122,683 children; buy 282,000 Bibles and one and a half million New Testaments; give away 112 million books, pamphlets and tracts; support hundreds of missionaries; and feed, clothe and house 10,000 children from the time they were orphaned until becoming independent? George Muller did. And he achieved this not by sweat and business acumen, not by garage sales and mailing lists, not by borrowing or asking for help, but solely by faith and prayer. He refused to let his needs be known to anyone but God. Fifty times in just one two-year period there were insufficient funds to see them through the day, yet what was needed always came in time. Though Muller enjoyed God’s miraculous provision daily for more than sixty years, the life of faith never grew easy for him. Even in his latter years when he gained international fame, he still had to pray in every penny, often having t...
