Drop A Word Podcast

One of the principles of Christian growth is the “Put off and Put on” principle. It involves shedding the old garments of sinful behaviors and putting on the new garments of Christ-like virtues. This podcast discusses what garments we should take off and what garments we should put on as believers.

Before God created the heavens and the earth, He thought about us. This Podcast is about God's thoughtfulness.

Some people never say YES to God. They live their lives saying NO — rejecting God's plan and choosing to live by their own rules and desires. In this podcast, I talk about four things during Paul's conversion that he said YES to and what his YES meant.

It takes determination, commitment, and persistence to achieve your dreams and goals.

Proverb 20:7 The just man walketh in his integrity: his children are blessed after him. Integrity is a very important characteristic because almost all we do is based on integrity. In this podcast, I talk about the characteristics of integrity.  

The practice of temperance and self-control is essential for developing character. When we look at the state of our world today, it is not hard to see that temperance and self-control are lacking. We see people in general whose lives are totally out of control.  I share in this Podcast how a lack of temperance and self-control can lead to destruction.

Once a person becomes a Christian their life should be characterized by love. We are commanded by God to love. This love should be directed to loving God, loving our neighbor as ourselves, and loving one another. In this podcast I talk about these three areas our love should be centered on.

Whatever you are today it is because of the mercy of God. It's not by your strength or abilities. It's not because you are more qualified than others. It's because God chose to show you mercy. Since God has shown you mercy, you should show mercy to others. In this episode, I talk about mercy and how to show it.

Why Humility? Humility is having a correct view of ourselves in relation to God and others and acting accordingly. It is also a lack of vanity or self-importance, humbleness of mind, lowliness, meekness, and modesty. In this podcast, I give five reasons “Why Humility”.

Courage involves facing your fears, confronting adversity, and acting on convictions. It is the ability to do something that frightens one; bravery; strength in the face of pain or grief.

You can trust God to protect you in times of physical, spiritual, mental, and threatening attacks of all kinds. Those who make God His refuge will find Him to be a strong Protector. In this podcast, I give four biblical examples of how God offered His wonderful, amazing protection in times of ominous attack.

“The Bible doesn't just say that God does good things. It says that God IS Good. It's not just what he does; it's who He is, and He never changes.” God's goodness is revealed through his actions toward us. In this podcast, I briefly talk about what our response should be to God for His goodness.

“Thanklessness is a terrible disregard of God's goodness.” Whether we know it or not, we have much to thank God for. In this podcast, I want to share ways to develop an attitude of thankfulness.

God hands are always open to supply the need of every living thing. Even when we are not aware of His provisions, He still provides. We can sometime see the spiritual, physical, and financial needs God provides, but He provides so much more. The list of His provisions is inexhaustible. In this podcast I talk about things He provides that we take for granted.

God through His grace and mercy offers forgiveness to everyone. Because of what Jesus did on the cross, He forgives you of all your sins the moment you come to Him. He also offers continued forgiveness, and He wants you to forgive others the same way He forgave you. In this podcast, I talk about three times forgiveness is offered.

Genuine peace is spiritual because its source is God. He is the God of Peace. His peace does not depend on outward conditions. The world's peace is dependent on a false sense of security in things and/or human accomplishments. False peace is trying to find peace in anything other than God. The peace that God offers is peace of heart and mind that brings a calmness that is the absence of fear and anxiety in the midst of trouble and chaos. His peace is supernatural, and it does not change with the circumstances. We experience His peace despite the circumstances. In this episode, I share how to experience God's peace.

During times of weakness, temptation, discouragement, sickness, tragedy, loss of loved ones, financial crises, and relationship problems, God offers us His strength. If we don't know how to cast our cares upon Him these things can take a toll on us physically as well as mentally. Our heavenly Father knows that we are finite and frail. "Psalm 39 tells us, Lord, make me know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is: that I may know how frail I am". Because of our weakness and frailty, we need something beyond ourselves. We need His strength. The worries of life can be difficult when we rely on our own strength. If you want to know how to persevere through hardships without breaking down, the key is to rely on His strength. In this podcast, I share verses that tell us what His strength does.

It has been preached and taught that the wife of Isaac, Rebecca was deceptive, manipulative, and showed favoritism. After reading Romans 9:12 - 15, and Genesis, Chapters 24 – 27, I see Rebecca in a totally different light. I see Rebecca as being a proactive person, a take-charge person, and a risk-taker. This podcast explains why?

Being persistent is the one thing that separates the winners from the losers. When an individual makes up his or her mind to accomplish a particular feat and set their focus in that direction, refusing to be deterred, he or she usually gets what they went after. I share four characters in the bible that refused to give up or let go. They continued in a course of action in spite of difficulty or opposition. Enjoy!

2 Corinthians 12:9 "But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Whatever your struggles may be, God's grace is sufficient for you. His grace is available in abundance, for every circumstance, we will ever face. But we need to learn how to receive His grace, how to walk in his grace, and how to apply His grace to life circumstances. Life itself is filled with opportunities to either go it alone or press in to receive His grace to help in times of need.

This podcast is about an invitation from Jesus to all who would come. The only information on the invitation is COME. This invitation is an invitation that includes all, covers all, without limit or exception. No one has ever been excluded, and no one ever will be excluded. This universal invitation from Jesus can be received with joy or pushed aside never to be received. The choice is yours. Jesus just say COME!

The bible says, “Blessed be the Lord, who daily loads us with benefits, psalm 68:19.” According to psalm 68:19, God pours, packs, piles, and heaps His blessings on us every day. We teach our earthly children to be polite and say thank you, whenever they receive from others. Likewise, it is just spiritual politeness for God's children to thank Him. When we are thankful to God, we acknowledge that all we have comes from Him. In this podcast, I share Fourteen reasons why I am thankful.

When you finish doing something, there is no more for you to do. That is exactly what happened when Jesus spoke His last words on the cross, "It is finished." Everything Jesus was sent by the Father to do, He accomplished on the cross. There are so many accomplishments Jesus made for us on the cross. in this podcast, I share Ten of them.

In Psalm 119:170 David prayed Let my supplication come before You; Deliver me according to Your word. In the bible there are many verses and stories of God's deliverance. It doesn't matter what your situation is, God has a promise of deliverance for you. He is the God of deliverance. There is deliverance to lose you from anything that binds you. In this Podcast I talk about several areas we can use deliverance from.

The number one theme of society today is to be self-confident. There are all kinds of books written on self-confidence. Popular religious leaders make confidence the focus of their teaching. We have been taught that all people have a need to believe in themselves (that is a misconception). We do not need to believe in ourselves—we need to believe in God. We need to have confidence in His power, His strength, His ability, His wisdom, and His sovereignty. I share five things that will help you build confidence in God.

Have you received any comfort from God while experiencing trouble? Do you know what to do with comfort you received from God? You're not supposed to keep it to yourselves, you are called to share it with those who are experiencing suffering as well. God's comfort is purposely designed to be passed on to others. Pass it On!

The Power Series: Season 3 - Episode 4 When the wind and waves of life frighten you, cry out to Jesus. He will catch you by the hand, restore your faith, and raise you above seemingly impossible surroundings and situations. That is what happened to Peter when he walked with Jesus back to the boat.

John 14:15 - “If you love Me, you will keep My commandments". These are the words of Jesus. Love and obedience go hand-in-hand. You cannot confess your love for Jesus and not obey His word. Obedience is the highest form of demonstrating your love for Jesus. This episode gives four results of obeying God's Word.

In the book of Philippians, Paul admonished Christians to rejoice in the Lord always. He is saying we should always rejoice whether we are sad, happy, angry, confused, disappointed, going through difficult situations, or tired. Rejoice always! There should not be a moment that goes by that we are not rejoicing and giving thanks to the Lord for His love, His grace, His mercy, and His provisions. Research has shown that rejoicing is good for our health. When we rejoice by singing praises to God, dancing, shouting, leaping, or laughing to thank Him, we break the yoke of sadness or depression. In this episode, I share five reasons why I rejoice in the Lord always!

God has commanded us to be kind one to another, according to Ephesians chapter 4:31-32. kindness is showing forth the love of God. 1Corinthians 13: 4 says love is kind. There are many benefits of being kind. In this episode, I'd like to share a few examples. The takeaway is that we all become intentional in showing kindness.

Humility is one of the most difficult character for Christians to cultivate and consistently walkout. in this episode, I share practical reasons why you should choose a lifestyle of humility instead of pride.

We are so busy doing something for the Lord. Very seldom are we aware of what God wants to do in our lives. One thing He wants to do is produce fruit in our lives. He is the only one that can do that. When it comes to fruit bearing, you cannot bear fruit apart from abiding in Jesus. You can do Nothing. Zero. Zip. St. John chapter 15:5 tells us that without me (Jesus)you can do nothing. In this episode, I discuss the responsibility of the Vine, the responsibility of the Father, and the responsibility of the Branch in order for fruit to be produced in our lives.

When we say I love you, is it Genuine, Authentic, Factual, True, Unquestionable, False, Fake, Sincere, Heartfelt, or Truthful? 1 Corinthians 13:4-7, which is called the love chapter, answers this question for us. In this episode, I breakdown 1 Corinthians 13:4-7. These four verses give us fifteen examples that reveals what love is and what love is not.

The Christian Lifestyle of Victory: Maintain - Pt3 Become Word Dependent is a continuation of Part 2. To maintain the victory that Jesus won on The cross, we must be #1 Become Holy Spirit Dependent and #2 Become Word Dependent. There is no way the devil can defeat you when you depend on the Holy Spirit and depend on the Word of God to walk in victory.

The Lifestyle of Victory: Maintain The victorious Christian knows what Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, has accomplished for them on the cross. To be victorious, they purpose not to trust their emotions or circumstances, but trust in the living God. The victorious Christian walks by faith and not by sight. They live and abide according to God's word. They have the inner confidence that overcomes discouragement, doubt and unbelief. The victorious Christian has a deep assurance that God is in control and has an inner knowing in their spirit that all things are working together for their good. They can make this declaration “It Is Well With My Soul “without wavering during challenging times.

Did you know that believers are to exemplify certain lifestyles that represent Jesus Christ? For the next six episodes I will be during a six-part series on The Christian lifestyles. Part-one of the Christian Lifestyle Series is: The Lifestyle of Surrender: Subtitled A&A (All and All). Surrendering our all to God is a struggle for most of us. Remember, God does not want part of us, He wants our All and All. In this series I share three points that is required to live the surrender lifestyle.

Everyone at some point, hears the Word of God. The responses to the Word are different. When the Word is shared, it falls on four different kinds of soil (the soil represents your heart). According to Mark 4:1-20, the Word of God falls by the wayside, the stony ground, among thorns and good ground. in order for the word of God to be effective, it has to "Go Deep", grow strong and produce fruit. This episode explains the characteristics of the four soils and why only the good ground produces fruit.

During this time of distancing and isolation. God gave me three things we can all do to help propel us and take us through. The three things are: We can look up to God. We can Trust God. We can praise God. So open up your heart and let God Drop A Word.
