James Tarter: 23 books

This Mt. Zion is the one in Hebrews 12:22-24, which is also called the Holy of Holies in heaven and the Lord's holy throne room. This book shows how the whole book of Hebrews is really a brief exhortation for believers in Jesus Christ to draw near to God in the Holy of Holies in heaven through our...

This projected conversation in heaven between Jesus and John the Baptist in 60 AD shows God’s calling to Elijah and John. God called them to minister to their nations to bring them to repent and live in God instead of destroying themselves as people and a nation. Today God calls His Church in a land to bring it and its people to repent and live in Jesus instead of destroying themselves.

Jesus introduced the idea of servant leadership and showed us how to do it. God requires leaders in His Kingdom to lead in this way so that every one of His children can have his or her true needs met. This is true on earth, but a shortage of servant leadership works against the total fulfillment...

God’s powerful promises to us who abide in Christ have been mostly unfulfilled because of strongholds in our hearts. A stronghold consists of well-protected walls in the spiritual heart, so that it refuses to let God or anything else touch a sensitive area. The heart’s natural fearfulness gives...

Biblically, the heart is the source of a person’s behaviors, beliefs, thoughts, attitudes, desires, motives, and values. The heart is so important to who we are: our inner nature that is given a new body for our eternity in Jesus. God made the heart naturally stable by making it greatly fear getting...

Many Christians have wondered why there is no prophecy about the United States in the Bible, because it prophesies much about the world today. In this book we can see clearly that God prophesies about the U.S. in Obadiah as the nation approaches choosing decisively for or against Jesus. Obadiah reveals...

The Bible shows God's plan to work through the Body of Christ to heal nations. God gives His plan especially in Ephesians, John, 2Chron. 7:13-14, and Romans 8. Every nation today is sick because the Church there has not yet followed His plan, which goes far beyond our imaginations or anything that...

The Day of the Lord on a nation is its just judgment by God: a nation's full accountability to the just and loving God for the nation's sins throughout its history. The Bible shows many examples of God's just judgment of ancient nations as whole units. National judgments have continued through the...

TRUE HOPE WHEN THE SITUATION IS HOPELESS. Job experienced awful afflictions from Satan, but very few people realize the eternal blessing that God was providing for Job through these afflictions. The Bible reveals this great blessing, which can provide a strong hope for believers in Jesus when no hope...

Corporate repentance: needed so much on earth, but so hard to get. We can easily see a great need for many nations and churches to repent in order to get healthy and stay healthy. If we have taken this need seriously, then most likely we have already found that real progress seems disappointingly...

God gives an amazing word about nations in the Minor Prophets in the Bible that is being worked out before our eyes. This word fits into fulfilling Jesus' Great Commission and also the judgment of spiritual darkness that has come on many nations in the past 80 years. The choice of the U.S. or any...

Mankind has many conflicting ideas about what God is really like. God created the whole material universe by His Word, and then the Word of God emptied Himself to become a speck in a tiny part of it. Why? To show people exactly what God would be like if He lived in a limited human body like our own....

In his Gospel and first epistle, the apostle John provided an example of how we can invite others into our life-giving fellowship with God through Jesus Christ. We get to see God's life-giving combination of truth and love in what is sometimes called "friendship evangelism". People are free to test the truth and experience the love and life in Jesus and His believers.

FEELINGS: God created us with a natural signal system to alert us to issues that we need to evaluate and handle well with our wise, loving Creator. He gives us some other emotions for us to enjoy as they help us grow in Christ Jesus. Too often we handle our feelings in worse ways. I write to believers...
