The Lord Is Unto Us A Place

The Lord is everything to us -- everything.  We know from our hearts that this is so.  But still there can be inner turmoil and conflict when the Lord wants to fellowship with us as a consuming fire!  What will change this?  We need to see the King in His beauty!  Then the Lord becomes a place for us. 

Major Prophets Lesson 12: A Wrap-Up of the Major Prophets

No matter how wonderfully someone is used of the Lord, the true need humanity is Christ living within.  The prophets' words are more fully realized in believers than they ever could in the people under the Law, for the Spirit that brought forth the words in the mouths of the prophets is eternal and speaks of the Crucified Christ. 

Major Prophets Lesson 11: The Lesson of Daniel's Life

Daniel's life is a powerful witness of the "excellent Spirit" by which he lived.  More than being an emissary of prophetic messages, this man lived with his roots deep in the Lord in all seasons of his life. 

Major Prophets Lesson 10: Daniel -- A Man of Excellent Spirit

Daniel shines as one who allows the Spirit of Christ to live in him in a very dark place - the seat of government of the Babylonian Empire.  In this overview of the book of Daniel, we begin to understand why God placed this man where He did, and how it shows forth God's glory. 

Major Prophets Lesson 9: Ezekiel’s Visions — The Temple

Ezekiel’s temple is like nothing else in the Scriptures; through it, the Spirit seeks to reveal Christ in a beautiful way.  Here we see a new humanity and a corporate habitation for the Lord’s presence.  It is a spiritual reality that works out on the earth in His body.  

Major Prophets Lesson 8: Ezekiel's Visions -- Wheels within Wheels

In this episode, we look at the wheels in the vision Ezekiel relates to us in chapter one.  All of the prophets speak of Christ, and this passage is no exception.  The Spirit that fuels the chariot of God's glory IS Christ, and we can know Him in such a way that we become part of the wheels that move Him forward in the earth. 
So let's put our eyes on Jesus and participate in bringing His presence wherever He wants to go!

Major Prophets Lesson 7: Ezekiel -- The Appointed Watchman

In this episode, we introduce Ezekiel, both the man and the book.  More importantly, we dig into the Scriptures to get a glimpse of how the Lord used this amazing prophet among the captives in Babylon.  As we find the Lord's mind for the captives, we come to understand the process of the Holy Spirit in applying the Cross to our own souls!

Major Prophets Lesson 6: The Sufferings of Christ and the Fruitfulness of Christ in Jeremiah

Jeremiah gives us one of the greatest displays of the sufferings of Christ in the whole Bible.  In this lesson, we dig into how Jeremiah's sufferings come from the Spirit of Christ, which is confirmed in the New Testament Scriptures!  
We look at these things because we want Christ to live in us.  In Jeremiah, we see one way in which He does so -- by bearing with those who are not in the image of Christ.  When we take on the image of the Crucified, we are on the path to true fruitfulness!

Major Prophets Lesson 5: Jeremiah — Whom the Lord Appointed

In this episode, we compare and contrast Jeremiah with Isaiah, whose call and ministry were very different from Jeremiah’s.  Also, we delve into the grief of this man who is so often known as the Weeping Prophet.  

Major Prophets Lesson 4: Isaiah's View of the Messiah and Introduction to the Times of Jeremiah

How Christ was revealed to Isaiah was fundamental to the New Testament writers.  We look at a few powerful examples of how they quoted Isaiah to preach Christ.  
To begin our study of Jeremiah, we look at the times in which He lived to assist us in our understanding of his writings.  We trust this will lay a groundwork that the Holy Spirit can use in the individual believer's pursuit of Christ in this area of Scripture!
