Genesis 23, 24 [audio]
Abraham buries Sarah and provides a wife for Isaac.

Matthew 8
Jesus heals. . .

Genesis 6, 7, 8 presents the story of Noah and the Great Flood, but before that

For Matthew 3, here is the audio link.

Benny Hinn is recognized more for his healing ministry and evangelism than he is for teaching. But, he is quite an effective teacher and has much to share about the Anointing and the Supernatural. The following videos are from a conference in London:

The Anointing – Day One of Benny Hinn Teaching

David, Moses and Elisha.
The purpose of anointing for spiritual warfare.

The Anointing – Day Two of Conference Teaching

The Anointing fights demons.

The Anointing is for
Salvation – 1st dimension
Service – 2nd dimension
Signs and Wonders – 3rd dimension

No book of Acts, no Church  without the Supernatural

The Anointing – Day Three of Benny Hinn’s Teaching

When that third dimension begins, every believer shall be delivered
from every demonic activity and demonic harassment, says the Lord.

In these final chapters of Acts, there is much strategizing, intrigue, and even chaos. Yet, the Gospel spreads. When Paul is seemingly backed into a corner by his persecutors, he escapes by claiming his rights as a citizen of the overriding government – Rome. Like him, we as believers also have rights assured by the overriding Kingdom of God. As we connect with the words of the Bible, we learn how to appropriate those rights.

Chapter 16 of today’s reading holds special meaning for me. Verses
25-26 convey that despite having been beaten and imprisoned, “Paul
and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other
prisoners were listening to them.” At around midnight, a sudden and
violent earthquake shook the foundations of the prison and loosed
all the prisoners’ chains.

Do you feel like something has beaten you down and tried to chain
you from progressing. You are not alone. There are others in the
same or a similar circumstance, and your overcoming is their means of
victory too. It is evident in these two verses.

As we approach the birthing of a new year, keep songs and praise in
your heart and on your lips to God. If you can, even for a few
minutes, get up at midnight and join with the ministry at
www.gloryofzion.org, whose prophetic call for prayer at midnight is
continuing through the 15th of this month.

Your reading is 10 chapters today, Acts 7-16.
