Science Proves It, God Created Water
01-10-2016
CBN News
For years, science and the Bible have seemed at odds over the source of the Earth's water. In Genesis 1, the Bible explains that God created Earth as a water-covered sphere and in Genesis 7 the author explains that "springs of the great deep burst forth" and flooded the Earth.
However, scientists have debated for years over where the planet's abundance of water originated. Some have believed that the Earth's water must have come from external sources like asteroids.
A new study published in the journal "Nature" appears to support the Bible's account. Christian News reports that the research suggests that water actually originated deep inside the Earth. A summary of the study notes "it is not clear just how much water resides within the solid Earth and where it is to be found."
CBN News' Heather Sells spoke with Regent University's Dr. Robert S. Stewart, a microbiologist and chair of the Science, Technology and Mathematics Department about the findings and what they mean for understanding the truth of the Bible's creation account.

Special Needs. Special Love. Now Think On This by Steve Martin
Special Needs. Special Love.
Now Think On This
Steve Martin
“As He passed by, He saw a man blind from birth. And
His disciples asked Him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that
he would be born blind?" Jesus answered, "It was neither that this
man sinned, nor his parents; but it was so that the works of God might be
displayed in him.” John 9:1-3, NASU)
Every
once in a while the Lord chooses to demonstrate His Father’s heart, His very precious
love, in a very special way. Though some would consider this a mistake, and others
might look upon it as being imperfect, He reveals a further, deeper, godly love.
We too must have this in our hearts.
A
special needs kid actually shows us the special love of God.
Maybe
like me, when your child was birthed (those who have children), one of the
first things you wanted to see is if they had ten fingers and ten toes. Before
our modern medical devices such as sonograms, we didn’t even know if an unborn
child was a male or female. So the natural thing was to look. I remember doing just
that, to make sure each one was “perfect”, with no defects or being odd in any
way. At least as I then understood things.
It has
always been a part of human culture to make these judgments, even at the moment
of birth, whether someone was good or bad. We would then act accordingly. In
far too many cases, if the child had a defect, or abnormality, they were
considered not worthy of life. Some ungodly cultures even destroy life if not
to their standards. Even in the “modern world”, these times we now live in, knowing
ahead of time as we do the growth and development of the unborn, abortion is
considered a viable option, the “human” thing to do, if an abnormality or
unwanted condition is present. We want to apply our so called wise wisdom - “Save
the suffering, for the child and the parents or caretaker.”
How
far we have fallen from the heart of God.
Even
in other matters about us - if an object has a small blemish, we toss it out.
If there is some peculiar look about it, and it doesn’t fit the generally accepted
mold, our far too often response is to typically reject, remove or replace. We
tend to not want anything out of the ordinary around us.
When Jesus was asked who sinned, his parents or the one born blind, He responded, as written above, “It was neither that this man sinned, nor his parents; but it was so that the works of God might be displayed in him.” (John 9:3)
Our
thinking would be, “Why would the Lord have allowed this in the first place?
Doesn’t He make all things good?” Of course the Lord does. And He also
demonstrates His love in ways we don’t fully understand.
I am now
believing that what we for so long considered “good”, having no spot or
wrinkle, isn’t quite the way He has seen it, in His wisdom and understanding. The
Perfect Lamb, Jesus our Messiah, Yeshua HaMashiach was the only one without
spot or wrinkle. All the rest of us have them. And yet, the Lord demonstrates continually
His perfect love for us, and His creation, very simply and quite profoundly, in
the very acts He daily shows, with His perfect love for all things. And people.
Special
needs kids, as we have now labeled them, actually show us the perfect love of
God. Given the fact that He Himself has blessed us with them, by showing His
love for what has been called for too long “imperfect”, clearly reveals a
deeper aspect of the love our Lord has for His creation.
My
respect for those who have special needs kids is immense. I can appreciate the
extra care, time and outpouring of love it takes in raising a child with
abilities not present in some areas of their life. I also understand those
special demonstrations of the Father’s love that He has given to them. As for
their parents and family members, I believe He gives extra grace for the care
needed.
Love
for His people, which come in all shapes, sizes and sectors of life, must go
beyond that for only the “lovely and the whole” as we would consider them. His
love for all creation takes special love, which He will give to us, for them,
as we abide in Him.
Now think on this, in the love
of Jesus,

In 2010 the Lord God of Israel, my Savior Jesus Christ (Yeshua HaMashiach), led me to start the ministry we call Love For His People. Its primary purpose is to share the love of the Lord with the nation of Israel, Jews around the world, and the people in all the nations as we can. For that end, through social media, writing and distributing books, and in person ministry, we are seeing the love of Jesus spread. We are grateful that He has given us much love in order to do just that.
We often hear the word “love” spoken out loud, and written about, in many ways. It has contrasting meanings to the wide range of people that exist, as it is expressed in different methods through people. When it has all been said and done, there is an eternal love that will stand the test of fire. Because the biblical expression of love, laying down one’s life for his friends, has eternal value, this love from God the Father to His creation is the type that I most seek after and try to share.

In these short chapters of Arms of Love, which is also the title of a song Laurie and I sang while leading various church worship meetings, and as the lead singers in our Ahava Love Band, I share some aspects of how I believe the Bible speaks of love. For you who are about to read this, my prayer is that your heart will be enlarged with His, and you too will become one, even more, to give love for His people, both Jew and Gentile, both saved and unsaved.
I hope that as you read these chapters, you will become more inspired to spend time with the Lord, experience His heart of love, and share it with our fellow man. The world needs to know the love of God.

"You Have a Mountain to Climb – And it is So Worth It!" Debbie Kerekes, California - THE ELIJAH LIST
"You Have a Mountain to Climb – And it is So Worth It!"
Do You Feel Stuck by Death, Crushing Blows, or Disappointment?
I have been seeing a vision of a person standing staring into a huge, dark, mass grave. In this grave is so much death. Disappointments, fears, despair, dead dreams, and broken promises are there; devastated relationships, disastrous set-backs, and worry for the souls of loved ones. There are missed opportunities, betrayals, and the untimely passing-away of significant people.
The eyes of this person are unblinking, riveted, looking into the hole, grieving and paralyzed with loss. They are becoming dark and obsessed, rehearsing in their minds what could have been, and even what SHOULD have been or might still be. They are stuck.(Photo via Pixabay)
They have been staring into the darkness, either hoping to prevent future pain by understanding fully what happened, waiting for closure, or hoping for resurrection.
But the Lord says to STOP. Stop staring into that hole of loss, and ask for a fresh revelation of His love to push out the fear and crushing disappointment. Stop waiting for people, movements, or organizations to repent and come to the Light. Stop trying to figure it all out, losing your peace and joy because someone you love doesn't "get it." Stop staring into the abyss, waiting for something you hoped would come to pass.
When sorrowing over what others did, or failed to do, keeps us from what wecan do, it has gone too far and we cease to be in the "present," living out of our past. When we lose all joy by lingering and hoping that something can be salvaged from the ashes, we have waited too long. If we remain staring into the pit of death, death will start staring into us.
I saw a mountain right next to this pit, and the Lord told me to say, "This mountain is YOURS to climb." Not the culture's mountain, the country's or the Church's, or even you and your best friend's (although those mountains also exist). This one is yours. You can't climb it if you remain by the abyss. (Photo by Jennifer Page "My Firm Foundation" via elijahshopper.com)
The fear that moving up that mountain will leave loved ones or promises behind is a deception of the enemy to keep you (and possibly your loved ones) in bondage.
The mountain is your journey with the Holy Spirit, with Jesus our older brother, and with our Heavenly Father. It may be dry or abundant, public or hidden, challenging or comforting. You will be brought straight up the side of the hill, full of anointing, gifting, and victory, just to be turned around and brought back down in darkness of night to acclimatize.
At times you will see visions and vistas like never before; other times you will walk by faith, only seeing the next step ahead, with not even a "star" to see by.
We have been defined by performance Christianity, which is fueled by the cruel master, "Fear." God wants to reveal powerful weapons to us, which the enemy has defined as wimpy and irrational. The world longs for the children of God to walk in these things with authority and boldness: Rest that only Jesus gives, peace that cannot be faked, confidence in the friendship of the Holy Spirit, and the knowledge of the fullness of the Father's uncreated grace and favor over us.
Start with Asking the Lord for a Revelation of Himself and Thanksgiving
Ask the Lord for a revelation of Himself. He may show you in a moment what He wants to reveal, or it may take time. Three years ago the Lord told me He wanted to reveal His GRACE to me... What a three-year journey it has been! The answers have come from a hundred different sources, in a million different ways, and there is more to come. Could He have revealed it in a day or a moment? Of course! (Photo by Jennifer Page"Redeemed" via elijahshopper.com)
He transported Philip from one place to another in a flash, but normally He shows us by journey. He may want to reveal His love for you, His Fatherhood, His deliverance, or His divine rest. He may wait to give you a revelation of how He speaks to our hearts in silence, or the power of our words. It will be your journey to embrace.
Start with thanksgiving. Thank Him for even the smallest things, but start thanking Him and make it a conscious habit. Thank Him through tears, thank Him in pain, and thank Him out loud so you can hear your own voice. Thanking God by faith in the face of despair is one of the most precious gifts we can offer, and one of the most life-transforming. It will lead to the dearest and most intimate, childlike praise, and result in a powerful joy of spirit that transcends both mind and emotions.
Thanking Him creates the atmosphere that will sustain you in the high elevations (testing) of your mountain... And for those of you who have stared so long into the abyss that you actually fell in? Start thanking Him and His LOVE will lift you out.
Shake Off Your Grave Clothes and Journey Up the Mountain and Inspire Others to Climb Too
When you have been in a dirty-air environment for a long time, you start becoming impervious to the odor. Submerge yourself in air that is polluted, toxic, or smells of death or decay...and your senses begin to dull. And then, when you leave the area, it can stick to your clothes, or seem as though the smells are lodged in your head or on your hair, and follow you everywhere!
Leaving that pit of despair and grieving to move up your mountain of grace and faith, you might not even realize how bad it was down there...until you look back and can't even see the ground or the "city" you were in for the haze of pollutants layered over it. And you may forget how bad it smelled until you get around those still living there, now shocked at what they (and you) had become used to!
Life is very different on the Mountain, and people will respond differently to you. This is a real re-set, a new thing with new challenges. People under demonic influence may now react very strongly to you when you walk by, where before they might have ignored you.
Some people will want what you have. Your joy, your liberty, and peace will inspire them to shake off their own grave clothes and make the journey up their own mountain! But don't be surprised if others get confused, jealous, or bitter, and feel abandoned by you.
(Photo by Kevin Moffatt"Come Out!" via elijahshopper.com)
Sitting by a mass grave of dead dreams and lost hopes is not intolerable if you think that by sitting there you will get you some kind of answer. And staring long enough into the abyss to "figure it out" can even be strangely satisfying if others will join you there in your hopeless vigil...at least you have company.
This is a BIG transition, a HUGE seasonal change, not a little one (and life has many of all sizes!). People will come at their own pace and level of revelation. Love fully, have mercy, but keep moving up in response to Christ, cooperating with the Holy Spirit.
What Fragrance are You Giving Off?
My friend, Gloria Dinerman, said, "One of my favorite Scriptures is 2 Corinthians 2:15-16: 'For we are the aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing, to one a fragrance from death to death, to the other a fragrance from life to life. Who is sufficient for these things?'
When grace has truly touched our lives, the transformation should be noticeable to all who come in contact with us. I guess a good question to ask would be, are we giving off the fragrance of Heaven?" (Photo by Robert Bartow "Dark Yet Lovely" via elijahshopper.com)
Remember, when the old smells (anger; despair; self-pity; self-loathing; disappointment; fear; prolonged, disabling grief) start to press in on you, start thanking God. Thank Him for the smallest and biggest things, the good and the difficult. Then, let this thanksgiving lead you to high praise, and your atmosphere will change! You will have to fight for this...but it is SO worth it!
Debbie Kerekes: In 1970, Debbie became a Christian in the Jesus Movement under the ministry of Lonnie Frisbee and Billy Graham. From day one, she loved Jesus and gave her life over to prayer and intercession, while God also lead her in the ways of seeing and prophecy. She and her wonderful husband mostly attended Foursquare and Vineyard churches through their lives and raised three amazing children in California.
Intimacy and partnering with Him in prayer is to Debbie the most rewarding thing. Helping people know Him better, find liberty, freedom, joy, and rest in Him...seeing people come into their true identity in Christ is priceless! Debbie spends most of her days in prayer, prayer with others, and spending time with her family, friends, and grandchildren.
