What does the Bible say about forgiveness? Follow as we study some of the great promises about a topic that brings peace to the heart! Speaker: Jake Frein

What does the Bible say about confession? Do I have to confess my sins to be forgiven? Follow along as we ask the Lord these questions and allow His word to answer them! Recorded by J. Frein

What is repentance ? What does the Bible say about it and how does it affect our salvation? Listen along with us and may God bless you as you study this subject!

What does the Bible say about pre-destination, and do the choices we make really matter or has God already pre-ordained some to be lost and some to be saved? See what this weeks study has to say about a widely misunderstood topic.

The Lord loves us beyond measure, and that is the actuating motive He has in all His dealings with us. It is our prayer here at Voice In The Wilderness that you will know His love, not just intelligently, but experientially!

If you have rebelled against God, it is my prayer that you will not buy into Satan's lie that God will not accept you back. It is my sincere belief, through Bible study, that God will accept all those that come to Him in repentance with a broken heart!

Jesus said unto them, verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am". Jhn. 8:58

"And now, Father, glorify thou me in thy own presence with the glory which I had with thee before the world was made." Jhn. 17:5, RSV

May this coming year be different than the last, may we be more devoted to truly representing Christ to the world!

Look to the spotless character of Christ and not your own righteous which the Bible declares to be "as filthy rags".

"Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good." Rom. 12:9

It is our prayer that you will have your lamp trimmed and burning and we will work together to prepare a people to meet God!

The Lord is calling His people to separate themselves individually from the enemies of truth. We should stand out as beacons of light and as advocates of our Heavenly Father while the entire world seems to be arrayed against Him.

Our deliverance through Christ is sure and was foretold long before His birth. Because of His perfect life we can have confidence that if we wholeheartedly follow Him, our salvation is sure.

Our we using our lives to bless others and honor God, or only for our own self-gratification?

Our religion cannot just be a form and it cannot be a little of Christ and a little of the world, if we allow a part of the word to remain with us soon none of Christ will abide in us!

Allow your walk to be defined by the Word and the voice of God, not by the completely by the voice of other people!

"Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ." Eph. 4:13

"And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her Seed; It shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise His heel" Gen. 3:15. This study focuses on the promise that there would be deliverance from sin through the Messiah, and the fact that the Jewish sacrificial services met it's fulfillment in the life, death and resurrection of Christ. 

We need to be honest with ourselves and with God, only then can we whole-heartedly ask for His guidance and strength.

If we submit ourselves to God to be molded then we can rest assured by the promises of scripture that He will do all that He has said He will do.

By beholding we become changed, whether that's when we allow ourselves to gaze on wholesome things or biblically wicked things. "I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes..."Ps. 101:3 KJV

True religion only comes through Christ. It is my prayer that our religion be continually rooted and ground in Him and salted with His Holy Spirit!

"No power but a knowledge of the truth as it is in Jesus, will ever make us steadfast; but with this, one may chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand too flight." OHC p.332

We can do anything and overcome anything so long as we are rooted in Christ and filled with His Spirit!

Many have a form of godliness, but still find that they slip and fall when the temptations of Satan come to them. This is because they deny the true power of godliness, they do not daily seek help from the Holy Spirit and lean on the Lords righteous right hand. Without Christ we can accomplish nothing, but praise God that through Christ we can do all things with His help!

Christ the Prince of Peace never stated that life would be easy for His followers, but with Him we will have increasing inner peace which will help us to cope with life's problems.

The Lord wants to strengthen our faith through the furnace of affliction. When difficult times come, the Lord uses that to show us where our faith is.

Rejoice in the Lord friends, even when it seems impossible. He is working all things out in us to His glory and one day we will see the outcome!
