Thy Word Is A Lamp Unto My Feet

I. The Word as Light in Darkness

"Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path." (Psalm 119:105, KJV)

Scripture is not merely a historical record or poetic literature. It is alive. It is light. In a world growing darker by the hour, where deception, false doctrine, and rebellion are normalized, the Word of God remains the only safe and steady guide for the soul. To neglect it in this hour is to grope in darkness. To embrace it is to walk with clarity.

This light is necessary because the path is narrow, and few find it (Matthew 7:14). Only through the light of God's Word can we avoid the snares of the enemy. It is written to instruct, rebuke, correct, and train in righteousness (2 Timothy 3:16).

II. Preparation for Eternity Begins in the Word

"Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart." (Psalm 37:4, KJV)

The invitation to read and study God’s Word is not for academic curiosity but preparation. Eternity is not far off. Every moment spent in Scripture is an investment in readiness. The Lord is returning soon, and He desires a Bride prepared, adorned with truth and faithfulness.

The modern world is consumed with temporary gains and digital noise, but the eternal voice of the Shepherd calls His people to be still, to listen, and to learn of Him (Matthew 11:29).

III. Wisdom is Given to the Humble and Prayerful

"If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him." (James 1:5, KJV)

Prayer and the Word are inseparable companions. It is through prayerful reading that the Holy Spirit brings wisdom and discernment. In a generation overwhelmed by false teachers, new age doctrines, and seductive ideologies, only the Spirit of Truth can separate light from darkness.

Discernment is not a luxury. It is a spiritual necessity. As the Apostle Paul warned, 

"For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine..." (2 Timothy 4:3, KJV)

That time is now. And the antidote is a heart that prays, listens, and walks in obedience.

IV. False Teachings and the Rise of Deception

"But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived." (2 Timothy 3:13, KJV)

The age is marked by a surge of spiritual deception. From prosperity gospels to universalism, from mysticism disguised as Christianity to outright apostasy, the Body of Christ is being sifted. The line between truth and error is growing sharper. Those not rooted in the Word will be swept away.

Jesus warned, 

"Take heed that no man deceive you." (Matthew 24:4, KJV)

That warning was not for the world but for His disciples. Only those grounded in truth will endure to the end (Matthew 24:13).

V. A Call to Intimacy Before the Return

"Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you." (James 4:8, KJV)

The Lord longs for relationship and Intimacy. Not ritual. Not routine.  And as the time of His return approaches, He calls His Bride to prepare. The world prepares for chaos. But the Church must prepare for Christ.

Through prayer, through Scripture, through surrender, the Bride adorns herself. He blesses those who seek Him with diligence. Not with worldly wealth, but with His presence, His peace, His power, and the joy of abiding in Him.

VI. The Urgency of the Hour

"Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh." (Matthew 24:44, KJV)

The message is urgent. The time is late. Reading Scripture is not optional. It is vital. The trumpet is near. The King is coming. And the Bride must not be found slumbering.

VII. A Call to Repentance

God calls all men everywhere to repent (Acts 17:30). He does not desire any to perish, but that all should come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9). Turn from compromise, lukewarmness, and deception. 

"Seek the Lord while He may be found. Call upon Him while He is near" (Isaiah 55:6)

VIII. The Gospel Invitation

All have sinned.

"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." (Romans 3:23, KJV)

Sin brings death.

"For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." (Romans 6:23, KJV)

Jesus paid the price.

"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8, KJV)

Confess and believe.

"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." (Romans 10:9, KJV)

Today is the day of salvation. The door is not yet shut. Run to Him while mercy remains.

IX. Conclusion

Scripture is your compass. Prayer is your lifeline. And Christ is your hope. Delighting in His Word is not legalism. It is life. It is how you prepare for the eternal joy of meeting Him face to face.

Ready yourselves. He is coming soon.

Shalom and love in the name of Yeshua HaMashiach, our Redeemer and returning King.

The Rise of the Remnant: God’s Hidden Army for the Final Hour

I. The Hidden Ones: A Remnant Refined by Fire Throughout every generation, God has preserved a remnant, those who have not bowed to the idols of their time, who walk in righteousness amid corruption, and who carry His presence with purity and power. Elijah lamented that he stood alone for God, but the Lord revealed, “I have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal” (1 Kings 19:18, KJV). Today, God’s hidden ones are emerging from seasons of obscurity and crushing. They are the forerunners, raised in secret places where their faith has been tested, refined, and purified. These men and women have endured the fires of betrayal, rejection, and spiritual warfare, yet like gold tried in the furnace, they now reflect the image of the Refiner (Malachi 3:2–3). They were trained in isolation, hidden from public view, so that when they emerge, it will not be by human promotion but by divine appointment. Their confidence is not in their strength but in the...

Forged Through The Fire

I. The Intimacy of the Bridegroom and His Bride The Lord is not seeking mere admiration; He desires intimacy. Those who worship in spirit and truth (John 4:23-24) are known not just for their public declarations, but for private devotion. The Bride's heart is fully His, not content to know about Him but driven to know Him. "Draw me, we will run after thee: the king hath brought me into his chambers: we will be glad and rejoice in thee, we will remember thy love more than wine: the upright love thee." (Song of Solomon 1:4, KJV) Her surrender is not theoretical. It is lived out daily through obedience and the sacrifice of self. In a time when the love of many has waxed cold (Matthew 24:12), she burns brightly. II. The Fragrance of Obedient Worship The Bride's worship is not limited to melody but manifests as obedience. Her crushed will releases fragrant oil, echoing Gethsemane where Christ said,  "Nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done." (Luke 22:42, KJV...

The Trumpet: A Call to True Repentance

I. The Sound of the Trumpet and the Awakening of the Church Scripture declares a day is coming when the trumpet of the Lord will sound, signaling the return of Jesus Christ. “For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first.” 1 Thessalonians 4:16 (KJV) This is a prophetic certainty. Yet, as Jesus warned, many will be unprepared when that moment arrives. “Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.” Matthew 25:1 (KJV) In this parable, five virgins were wise, having oil in their lamps, and five were foolish, neglecting their readiness. The oil represents the abiding presence of the Holy Spirit and an intimate relationship with Christ. When the Bridegroom came, only those prepared entered the wedding feast. This prophetic warning speaks directly to today’s Church. Many profess belief b...
