A Little Yeast Works Through the Whole Batch of Dough

“You were running a good race. Who cut in on you to keep you from obeying the truth? That kind of persuasion does not come from the One who calls you. “A little yeast works through the whole batch of dough.” I am confident in the Lord that you will take no other view. The one who is throwing you into confusion, whoever that may be, will have to pay the penalty” (Galatians 5:7-10 NIV). “A little yeast works through the whole batch of dough” implies is that a very small amount of yeast is able to work through and...Read more

Obstacles to Developing an Intimate Relationship with God

“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’ “(Matthew 7:21-23 NKJV) Have you, at one time or another, experienced a great distance between you and God, felt that your prayers were just bouncing off the...Read more
