Meaning of BITTER WATERS

When a man suspected that his wife was unfaithful, the wife was brought before the priest, in a solemn ritual, she had to drink the bitter waters.

When a man suspected that his wife was unfaithful, the wife was brought before the priest, in a solemn ritual, she had to drink the bitter waters.

They were prepared in a clay vessel, where "holy water" and "dust from the floor of the tabernacle" were placed (type of the Holy Spirit applying death, as God's judgment on sin, to the conscience through the word).

If she had been unfaithful to him, this drink would be a curse to her, suffering from dropsy under the hand of God. If not, she would be free (Num. 5: 11-31).

The Secret of Contentment

Zig Ziglar

Somewhere along the way, Paul learned the secret of contentment. He realized that possessions, fame, beauty, and other earthly things can be pleasant for a while, but they can never produce genuine contentment. That comes from the inside.

Here is the truth: Jesus Christ is Lord of life and Lord of all. - Jack Graham

Jesus is the Lord of Life

Jack Graham

Jesus is the Lord of Life, and that's the topic, that's the theme of the Gospel of John, and certainly John chapter 10 which is one of the well-known passages in all of the Bible. Jesus had enemies. You know that, right? While He was loved and beloved by multitudes, many rejected Him.

The Blessing which the Cross Affords

Jimmy Swaggart

This is the first mention of the Cross, although in shadow, after the Fall. The Lord told Satan through the serpent that victory would come by the Seed of the woman. Ironically, woman has no seed, with the exception of One, Who was the Lord Jesus Christ.

That “Light” resides in Christ, for He said, “I am the Light of the world”

Light which Redeems the Soul

Jimmy Swaggart

The darkness that was here prevalent was taken away only by the Spirit of God, as He moved upon the face of the waters. As someone has well said, The Moving of the Holy Spirit is the first sign of life.

Put your Faith in Him and what He has done for you at the Cross.

Beginnings are one thing, while endings are another!

Jimmy Swaggart

On this first day of a brand-new year, which is a new beginning of sorts, the Lord offers to every person a brand-new beginning in their life, irrespective as to what the past has been. Millions this year will make New Year’s resolutions, resolutions which invariably will not be kept.
