“The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar; it shall never go out.” Leviticus 6:13 (KJV)     According to the scriptures, the fire upon the altar shall not be put out. It shall ever be burning upon the altar. The Word of God is telling you that your fire ought not to go out. The fire should be burning. In other words, the fervency, the zeal,...

“For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren.” Hebrew 2:11 (KJV)    Beloved, if you are born again, you have become one with Christ. God sees you the same way he sees Christ. No difference!     John 17:23 says, “I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect...

“We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak.” 2 Corinthians 4:13 (KJV)    The devil will challenge your acceptance because he challenged Jesus.
