"By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden three months by his parents, because they saw he was a beautiful child; and they were not afraid of the king's command" (Heb. 11:23). Just think of what that involved. The Egyptian state and Pharaoh, its head, had made it illegal to keep a Hebrew baby-boy. By law, such children were to be killed at birth. Soldiers moved around to carry out this order. What terror and grief there must have been!
Then Moses was born. His parents looked upon this lovely son, and decided to defy the law and hide the baby. "By faith . . . they were not afraid.” Officers of the law were around, and their footsteps were heard stopping at their very door, seeking the child's life! Who would not shake in their shoes if armed men were waiting, ordered to kill their baby? Yet, "they were not afraid.” This is a glorious truth: FAITH CANCELS FEAR. Their faith may have looked naive and foolish. But the situation was exactly what God likes. He delights to do the impossible. Please tell me, if this ministers to you. Blessings, REINHARD BONNKE.

The heart of the Gospel is the pierced heart of the Son of God. It is all there, at the cross. God, horrified and assaulted by our sin, our clenched fist in His face, and His breathtaking act of turning that same cross into the instrument of redeeming love, reconciliation and salvation. He died for those who killed Him. By His blood He forgave those who spilled it. That is the Gospel story (John 3,16). Evangelism is to tell it like it is. Greetings, REINHARD BONNKE.

After Moses had met the living God, he had everything still to learn about him. The day before the divine appearance in the desert, neither he nor anybody else knew anything, or very little, about God; they did not even know God’s name. However, God immediately sent Moses out on that tremendous exodus venture and gave him the assurance that “I am who I am” (Ex 3:14). Meeting God is all we need to get us going. Moses would find out who God was as he went along, seeing him at work – and that is our experience today. What God does is what he is; he never acts out of character. And the fundamental revelation is that God is fire.
Fire demonstrates God’s nature but does not explain everything about him. Fire is far more than an outward show of God’s glory or splendor. It displays his disposition, his infinite greatness, the central source of hope and life in the universe. Our best enthusiasm makes us no more than a smoldering wick alongside him, the eternal sun of righteousness. He is passionate in action. For example, three times in the Bible we read, “The zeal of the Lord Almighty will accomplish this” (2 Kings 19:31, Isa 9:7, Isa 37:32).
That is God. To be his friends we must think big, think on a worldwide scale. The sector to which we are allocated may be small but the Lord puts us where he wants us and gives us allies greater than all the enemy, on the victory front. We are God’s sons, commissioned ambassadors, demanding surrender to the King of kings. Are you blessed? REINHARD BONNKE

Christianity Boring? So is television if we don't plug in. For the best programs, switch on - it makes quite a difference. So does switching on to God. Nobody is a "fan" of something they know nothing about. An open mind is not to be confused with one empty of information. "Saved", "born again"? Why should anybody want to be "saved” or "born again" unless they understand it? Seven out of ten who don't believe in the Gospel don’t know what it is they don't believe in! "I don't like it because I've never tried it." Millions do try it, however, and are very much interested! Jesus Christ makes people sit up, like the young man He raised from the dead at Nain. Effort? What, to rise from the dead? To be saved? Yes, but it is Christ's effort. Blessed? REINHARD BONNKE

James says, "Every good gift … comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning" (James 1:17, NKJV). As the NJV puts it, God "does not change like shifting shadows." The sun causes a shadow as it turns and the shadow moves. When there is no shadow, the sun is directly overhead at its zenith. God never casts a shadow at all, because He is always at the zenith. And He never shifts from that perfect position. The light of God is ceaseless, not temporary, and always fully radiant.
His is the everlasting light that we are to eternally reflect. Our faces should not be veiled, as His glory will not pass away. We are being changed "from glory to glory" (2 Cor. 3:18, NKJV)-we are given more and more glory! Hallelujah! REINHARD BONNKE
