True Believers Are “The Rich of the Earth” (227)
Believers are called “the rich of the earth” in several major translations of Psalms 22:29. Of course, they are those blessed individuals who are enriched with something Jesus called “true riches.” If you are a child of God, you are not impoverished person spiritually; you are rich beyond description in the things that matter most!

Partakers of God’s Glory / Absolutely Glorious! (226)
No one can share God’s glory, right? Actually, the exact opposite is true. God’s people are even named “partakers of the glory” and “the house of His glory”! Before Jesus went to the cross, He prayed, “Father, the glory you gave Me, I have given them.” So, this has already been established by a divine decree! This revelation is glorious!

God’s People are “The Place of His Rest” (224)
When the ark of the covenant was placed in Solomon’s temple, God’s glory rushed into that glorious edifice as the Most High came to dwell in His “resting place.” But God was not satisfied. In Isaiah 66, He asked, “Where is the house that you will build Me? And where is the place of My rest?”—then He gave the answer, and it involves us. Such a beautiful revelation!

Biblical Prosperity: True or False? (223)
God’s people are named “The prosperous of the earth” in Psalm 22:29, yet there is no mention of financial or material gain in that passage. This verse speaks prophetically of the New Covenant and the Messianic Age to come, so this status definitely belongs to us—but why did God use such a controversial term? Follow the concept of prosperity throughout the Bible and pull back the veil on truth. Ministry website: www.shreveministries.org Comparative religion website: www.thetruelight.net The “Cat...

Why Does God Call His People “The Prosperous of the Earth”? (222)
“The prosperous of the earth” is a title given to God’s people in Psalm 22:29 (NKJV). Why would the heavenly Father name His offspring this if prosperity was something He did not intend to pour out? But is that always indicated by material or financial gain? Is there a balanced, God-pleasing, and powerful way of looking at this concept? Understanding this revelation will help propel you into its reality. Ministry website: www.shreveministries.org Comparative religion website: www.thetruelight.n...

The Bride of Christ: “A Well of Living Waters” (221)
The bride of the heavenly Bridegroom is named “a well of living waters” in the Song of Solomon. What a revelation of the profoundness of our calling, both in this world and the world to come! Evidently, we are a family of thirst-quenchers: quenching God’s thirst for loving communion and the thirst of lost humanity for the truth. A beautiful, poetical, metaphorical, prophetical truth!

Living Bread: Your New Identity! (220)
The body of Christ is named “one bread” and “unleavened Passover bread” in Scripture (1 Cor. 5:7; 10:17). We inherit this status from the compassionate Savior who declared, “I am the living bread which came down from heaven.” His purpose in coming was to feed a spiritually emaciated human race, starving for truth. Believers receive the same identity and purpose. The requirement is being “leaven-free.” Ministry website: www.shreveministries.org Comparative religion website: www.thetruelight.net ...

The Beauty of Being “God’s Garden” (219)
The Bible depicts the bride of Christ as “God’s Garden.” You may think your past disqualifies you for such an attractive symbol, but salvation has beautified you for time and eternity. In a world that often denies the existence of a Creator, the church is a peaceful and fruitful, garden-like haven for the heavenly Gardener. In a world that often produces anxiety, damages people, and leaves them hungry for truth, the church is a garden-like sanctuary providing peace, beauty, and spiritual nourish...

Blood on the Ear, Thumb, and Toe—Oh My! (218)
In the Old Covenant, only the natural offspring of Aaron, the high priest, could be included in the priesthood. In the New Covenant, only the supernatural offspring of the Lord Jesus, the Great High Priest, are granted this status and calling, both now and forevermore. Learn how the initiation rites for priests under the former era reveal profound truths, on a much higher level, about our priestly calling during this age of grace! Going deep in God’s Word!

Are All Believers SAINTS? (217)
Are you a saint? Most professing Christians assume only those who achieve an extremely high degree of spirituality and religious devotion can ever be described that way. But what does the Bible say? You may be surprised to see how God refers to all His people. This revelation will carry you from eternity past to eternity future. Get ready to be edified!

The King, His Bride, and the Symbol of Thorns (216)
One of the most heart-gripping parts of Passion Week involves Jesus being crowned with thorns. Weren’t thorns a sign of God’s curse in the beginning? Also, why is the bride of Christ referred to as a “lily among thorns” in the Song of Solomon? All these things weave together symbolically and mysteriously into a most amazing revelation.

You Are "Children of Promise"! (215)
Born-again children of God exist simply because they believed and received the biblical promises that result in spiritual rebirth. But there is so much more to this status. God has given 7,487 promises in His Word—and they all belong to you if you belong to Him. So, child of God, you will never face anything in life without a promise from God, powerful enough to bring you forth victoriously. You need this revelation!!!

The Revelation of God’s Name (214)
Scripture teaches that New Testament children of God are “a people for His name” (Acts 15:14). If so, we need to understand how His name has been progressively revealed over thousands of years. Almost 7,000 times in the original Hebrew of the Old Testament, the name YHWH is assigned to God. Why is it usually translated into the simple title “LORD”? Let’s explore this mystery together!

The Night Jesus Appeared to Me Weeping (213)
Many years ago, Jesus appeared to me in a dream weeping. What He said gave me a much deeper appreciation concerning our calling to be “a people for His name” (Acts 15:14). Once His glorious name is revealed, it becomes our source of authority and victory. However, we are also called to proclaim this wondrous name to the world. I pray this revelation impacts your heart as powerfully as it has mine. Ministry website: www.shreveministries.org Comparative religion website: www.thetruelight.net The ...

For His Name’s Sake! (212)
In the first apostolic council, new converts coming to the Lord were called “a people for His name.” This initial name for God’s people has five powerful applications. In this episode, we will discover the wonder of the first: that all God does, in us and through us, is “for His name’s sake.” This will give you a greater appreciation of the importance of your role.

Born-again believers inherit God’s kingdom, both now and forevermore. The attributes of the King of kings are transferred to his royal heirs—His love, joy, power, wisdom, grace, and so much more.

Stewards of the Grace of God (209)
Once you receive God’s grace, you’re called to pour it out to other people (even your enemies) and back to God Himself (pretty amazing, right?!?!). First Peter 4:10 challenges us to be “good stewards of the manifold grace of God” (the word “manifold” means manifesting in many different and unique ways).

Our Glorious Status: Heirs of the Grace of Life / Part 1 (206)
One of the most spectacular aspects of our inheritance is the gift of the grace of God. First Peter 3:7 even calls God’s people “heirs of the grace of life.” The Greek word translated "life" is zoe, meaning divine life (the life of God). This glorious impartation enters our hearts the moment we are born again, awakening God’s purpose, and defending us, moment-by-moment, from all the death-dealing influences that surround us in this world.

Children of the Prophets (204)
In Acts 3:25 God’s people are called “children of the prophets and of the covenant.” Those two primary influences brought to birth the nation of Israel in the Old Testament period, as well as the Church in the New Covenant era. Jesus is called a Prophet and He lives within all born again believers. So, a prophetic nature and calling is part of our spiritual DNA. No wonder Paul said, “You may all prophesy.” This teaching may give you a whole new appreciation of the relevance of your position in t...
