God Has A Plan B.

And the Lord God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:  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 3:14-15)

Hope In The Midst Of Chaos.

As we study Genesis 3, we clearly see the Fall of Man unfold. Adam and Eve were given everything they needed, yet they chose disobedience by eating the forbidden fruit. When confronted, Adam attempted to shift the blame to Eve, and Eve in turn pointed to the serpent. Despite their efforts to avoid responsibility, God pronounced judgment on all involved—the woman, the serpent, and the man. Adam did not escape the consequences and was forced to live with the results of his choice.

Yet even in judgment, hope emerged through biblical prophecy. God spoke a promise to the woman: her offspring—the seed of the woman—would one day crush the head of the serpent. This word pointed beyond the immediate moment toward God’s redemptive plan. Moving into Genesis 4, Eve gives birth to Cain. It is possible that she believed Cain might be the promised seed, the one who would undo the curse and restore what was lost in the garden.

Place yourself in Eve’s position. Would you ever imagine that your child could become an instrument of evil? Eve could not have foreseen the tragic outcome of Cain and Abel. Her hope was sincere, yet God’s promises were meant for a future far beyond her lifetime. Beloved, this reminds us that some prophecies are not fulfilled in our season, but in generations still to come.

The First Murder.

In a careful study of Genesis 4, we see the tragic account of Cain and Abel and the first murder in human history. Cain killed his brother out of jealousy after both men presented an offering to God. Abel’s offering came from the firstlings of his flock, representing obedience and a biblical tithe, while Cain brought the fruit of the ground—the very ground that had been cursed because of sin. God accepted Abel’s sacrifice but rejected Cain’s, which stirred anger and resentment in Cain’s heart.

Here we see the mercy of God clearly displayed. Before judgment fell, God gave Cain time to repent and lovingly warned him about the danger of unchecked sin. God told Cain that obedience would bring acceptance, but disobedience would allow sin to lie at the door, ready to dominate him. Cain still had a choice—he could resist temptation and master sin.

Sadly, Cain chose the opposite path. Instead of turning back to God, he allowed jealousy and anger to take control, leading him to murder his brother. In doing so, Cain became a tool of the enemy, as Satan sought to corrupt the seed of the woman and challenge God’s redemptive plan. This passage reminds us that sin always begins in the heart, and resisting it requires obedience, humility, and faith in God’s truth.

God’s Plan B.

Satan believed he had eliminated the seed of the woman by provoking Cain to kill Abel, but God’s redemptive plan could not be stopped. God revealed His divine plan through the birth of Seth, whom Eve conceived as a gift of hope. The name Seth means “appointed,” and many believe he was divinely appointed to carry forward God’s promise. Through a careful study of Seth’s genealogy, we can trace his lineage all the way to Jesus Christ, as recorded in Luke 3, confirming God’s sovereign control over history.

Beloved, this truth reminds us that even when we face setbacks, failures, or unexpected obstacles, God always has a plan B working behind the scenes. His promises never fail. When we learn to trust God fully and cast our cares upon Him, He grants us the peace of God that surpasses all understanding. That peace strengthens our faith and reassures us that God will always fulfill what He has promised. God bless.

Added Bonus--How To Develop Strong Faith.

The Biblical Story of Creation.

 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth (Gen 1:1)

The book of Genesis is a fascinating journey to embark on. The very word Genesis means “beginning,” and as we stand at the close of this year, many of us may look back on moments of heartbreak, discouragement, and tears. Yet, woven into those experiences, there may also have been glimpses of heaven—answered prayers that reminded us of God’s faithfulness. And now we wonder: what will 2026 hold?

I don’t have that answer, but I do know this—God is the God of new beginnings. Personally, I feel ready to step into a fresh chapter of my life. This year has been extraordinary for me, a time when I’ve witnessed God speaking through the ordinary and revealing His truth in the extraordinary. By observing the natural world and reflecting on the supernatural, I’ve seen His hand at work. I encourage you to study the Jewish Feasts and the events surrounding the life of Jesus. These moments in history were not random; they pointed beyond themselves, connecting the natural to the divine.

What happened in Genesis 1:2?

And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. (Gen 1:2)

As we look closely at Genesis verse 2, we see that the earth was without form, empty, and covered in darkness upon the face of the waters. This raises an important question: what happened? We know that God is a God of order, so how did the world become disorganized, void, and dark? The mention of waters suggests to me that a massive flood had already taken place, destroying all forms of life.

I submit to you that there was indeed life on earth before this. Lucifer, once a glorious angel, was involved in managing the affairs of the earth. There was angelic activity, and even the Garden of Eden was established, where Lucifer had a presence (Ezekiel 28:13).

But something shifted. Satan desired to be like God. He persuaded a multitude of angels to rebel and attempted to overthrow the Most High. Yet God had the final word (Isaiah 14:12–15). As a result of this cosmic battle, Satan was cast down to earth, which triggered a great flood that wiped out life. The devastation was so deep that it created Hell for him and the fallen angels (2 Peter 3:5–6).

From this, we understand that contrary to traditional teaching, God did not create the earth in six days—it was already created and perfected. What God did was restore creation to its original condition. Now, let’s bring this truth down to our level: how does this apply to you and me today?

You Are a Candle Lit by God

 

“For thou wilt light my candle: the Lord my God will enlighten my darkness.” (Ps 18:28)

When you hear the word candle, what image comes to mind? Perhaps a birthday celebration, or the sacred glow in a cathedral or synagogue? But consider this: you are a candle, spiritually speaking. Just as a flame gives light and reveals what’s hidden, your spirit, guided by God’s truth, brings light to your inner world. But for that light to shine rightly, we need the Holy Spirit to act as our divine inspector—our independent counsel who reveals the truth of who we are.

As we study Prov 20:27 in the King James version, it compares us to a candle bringing light to the inward parts of the belly. In the Easy English Bible version, it breaks it down to our understanding. Check out the verse below--

The Lord makes our human spirit like his lamp inside us.
    It shows us what we are really like.

In the 1970s, President Nixon was unable to investigate himself during the Watergate scandal. An external counsel was needed to uncover the truth. In the same way, we cannot examine our hearts alone—we need the impartial work of the Holy Spirit. He is not here to condemn, but to lovingly expose and cleanse. Like everyone else, I have my flaws that need attention. But here’s the hope: once the Holy Spirit shows us who we truly are, He walks with us in the process of becoming more like Christ.

In looking at Psalm 26:2 speaks of both heart and reins—the spirit and the mind—working in tandem. While our spirit is united with Christ, it’s our mind that must be renewed daily for that union to manifest powerfully. Praying in the Spirit allows God’s fire to illuminate places in us that need healing, repentance, and clarity. And yes, just like the old song from the sixties entitled “Light Our Fire”—God wants to light our fire for our candle, but we must avoid the strange fire.

Scripture often uses poetic language to describe our inner lives. In the King James Version, the word "reins" is a translation of the Hebrew kilyah, meaning kidneys. Physically, kidneys cleanse the blood—but spiritually, they represent the seat of our thoughts and emotions. It’s through this lens that we begin to understand the mind of Christ. Just as kidneys filter toxins from the body, the renewed mind in Christ filters out what doesn’t belong in our spirit. That transformation begins as we saturate ourselves in God’s Word.

What is strange fire? It is an unauthorized or carnal zeal that leads us away from God’s purity. Nadab and Abihu offered such fire and paid the price. (Lev 10:1-10) Likewise, when our words stir division, gossip, or harm, we’re playing with spiritual fire not sent from above. James 3:6 warns us about the destructive nature of the tongue—but through praying in tongues, we invite the Holy Spirit to sanctify even our speech. Let’s ask ourselves: Am I burning with God’s fire, or something else? Keep your candle lit with holy fire, and never let go of the plow. Enclosed is a teaching from our Bible Study concerning the Candle of the Lord. Enjoy and be blessed. 

Learning Lessons From King David.

 

Dear Brethren, Greetings in the precious name of Jesus. To him be all praise, honor, and glory.

I am sharing some thoughts about the life of King David. I believe this is a must-hear podcast, especially for those waiting for God's calling in their lives. We see how David was faithful in caring for the sheep entrusted to him. It was at this place that God inspired him to write some of the psalms, especially the 23rd psalm.

David was a man who consistently praised God. That praise helped him see God's plan for his life. It was during his training that God gave him spiritual analogies with the natural. Friends, God is speaking to us not only through the word but in everyday life. When you spend time in his presence, you will be surprised at what he reveals to you with everyday natural things. 

David was also a man of great strength. He was probably as strong as Samson. Did you know how he gained strength? You don't want to miss this teaching. Please click on the links provided. 

Thank you for your support and prayers. Pray for our Spanish audience. We have started a Spanish podcast, and it shows potential. Finally, continue to listen to our podcast regularly if possible. God bless. 

The First And The Last.

 

"saying, “I am A and Z, the First and Last!” And then I heard him say, “Write down everything you see, and send your letter to the seven churches in Turkey: to the church in Ephesus, the one in Smyrna, and those in Pergamos, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea.” (Rev 1:11) (Living Bible )

Can you imagine our Lord Jesus appearing to you and saying I am A and Z? You would think that you had lost your mind. Think about it ---the words A to Z? Just what would the Lord mean about the two letters of the alphabet?

First, let's address the letter A. It is the beginning letter.  As we begin our day, we need to realize that Jesus is first in our lives. When our feet hit the floor, we should be thanking him. Our greeting to him should be--

1- Good morning, Father.

2- Good morning, Jesus.

3- Good morning, Holy Spirit. 

After that, we should take some time to pray and study God's word for the day. I guarantee that if you do this habitually, God will begin to show new things from the Word. He will start to speak to you. 

Second, the Letter Z is the last letter. When you go to bed, the last thing that should be on your mind is the Lord Jesus. You should spend some time thanking him in prayer and asking him for your slumber and rest. Also, you should stand on alert in case the Holy Spirit calls you to intercede for others. 

The Greek Version.

As we dig deeper into this, let's look at the King James version below--

I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. (Rev 1:11)

The King James version contains the Greek letters of the Alphabet, which are Alpha (The First Letter) and Omega (The Last Letter). In fact, he mentions this 4 times in the word, so let's pay special attention to these letters. Alpha and Omega are symbolic of the word. From Genesis to Revelation (Beginning to End), you find God's promised deliverer, who is Jesus Christ, our Lord. Jesus is saying to John, while at the isle of Patmos, pay attention to my word. I am the promised Messiah mentioned since the book of Genesis. I am everything that you will ever need. (Alpha and Omega/A to Z) 

The Hebrew Version

Did you know that the word has a Hebrew version of A to Z. It even mentions the Hebrew Alphabet? Want to know more? Click on this link below and listen to our podcast. What you hear will revolutionize your life. God bless.
