BOOK TRAILERWould the penalty for his questions–and his love–be lethal?He's got it all—looks, charisma, the compelling grin—everything Hollywood could ever ask for. Cass Remmlone is finally living his dreams. Maybe he's not like he used to be. Maybe he doesn't call home anymore, doesn't read his Bible, doesn't darken the doors of a church. But he's having fun—and he's having it with his best friend, Eddie Barlow. Cass should have known God would not shut His eyes forever. Chastisement slams so fast Cass hardly knows what is happening. Eddie is lying on the pavement, paramedics hunkering over him, even as his face goes slack. He whispers one name: Madeline. Drowning in the horrors of his grief, Cass climbs into his convertible and drives away, leaving behind a career he spent most of his life pursuing. With nothing more than a letter and a name to go on, Cass finds himself in a town called Angel Gate, West Virginia, where he hopes to uncover more about the woman named Madeline. It is mere providence that leads him to the rundown farm, where he catches his first sight of Audrey Wade. If he thought she was beautiful before, the fact that she wants nothing to do with him only increases his attraction. But are his efforts even fruitful? Or is he wasting his time?The longer he spends in Angel Gate, the more he begins to sense something sinister. A child is in danger, yet no one seems to notice. And who is Madeline? Why does the town go hush at the sound of her name? The closer he comes to the answers, the deeper he sinks into a nightmare. Cass Remmlone can star in a movie...but can he rescue a child, win Audrey's heart, and uncover a grisly truth? Or will he die trying?  BOOK TRAILERWEBSITEFACEBOOK INSTAGRAMPINTEREST AUTHOR - WILLOWY WHISPER Author of “Hills of Innocence Trilogy” Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!

BOOK TRAILERWould the penalty for his questions–and his love–be lethal?He's got it all—looks, charisma, the compelling grin—everything Hollywood could ever ask for. Cass Remmlone is finally living his dreams. Maybe he's not like he used to be. Maybe he doesn't call home anymore, doesn't read his Bible, doesn't darken the doors of a church. But he's having fun—and he's having it with his best friend, Eddie Barlow. Cass should have known God would not shut His eyes forever. Chastisement slams so fast Cass hardly knows what is happening. Eddie is lying on the pavement, paramedics hunkering over him, even as his face goes slack. He whispers one name: Madeline. Drowning in the horrors of his grief, Cass climbs into his convertible and drives away, leaving behind a career he spent most of his life pursuing. With nothing more than a letter and a name to go on, Cass finds himself in a town called Angel Gate, West Virginia, where he hopes to uncover more about the woman named Madeline. It is mere providence that leads him to the rundown farm, where he catches his first sight of Audrey Wade. If he thought she was beautiful before, the fact that she wants nothing to do with him only increases his attraction. But are his efforts even fruitful? Or is he wasting his time?The longer he spends in Angel Gate, the more he begins to sense something sinister. A child is in danger, yet no one seems to notice. And who is Madeline? Why does the town go hush at the sound of her name? The closer he comes to the answers, the deeper he sinks into a nightmare. Cass Remmlone can star in a movie...but can he rescue a child, win Audrey's heart, and uncover a grisly truth?

A BOAT FULL OF SUCCESSWhat you do with your empty nets is the deciding factor between failure and success.(Luke 5: 1-11)VIEW: TRAILER – NO ROOM IN THE INNLOVE OFFERINGS ARE WELCOMED AT PAYPALbradwyrick@cox.netA Boat Full of Success will Support your Continual Pursuit of God's Purpose. Within the pages of Scripture, we find God's Blueprint Concerning His Purpose for Your Life.  He has laid out the concepts, principles, and road map that will inspire each of us to look for and discover His Will for our lives. Taking this path will lead to a successful and rewarding experience. All of us understand the concept of a pattern or blueprint.  The tailor who designed the clothes you're wearing had to follow a model, or the clothing would not fit. A building would not be safe, nor would an engine run, if not made according to the blueprint. Likewise, the Word of God is Jesus, the author, and finisher of our faith. Who better to teach us all things, but He that authored the book?It is the same thing with our life in Christ.  We must start right, continue right, and finish the race set before us according to God's blueprint. The Bible's patterns for life are not merely religious rules; they're proper rules.  That is, they're patterns that work so we can live, obey, and grow in the way God designed us to live.His commandments and precepts supply the foundation to build lives that stand strong and tall.  Spiritual frames built on His solid rock. All designed to make us into the image of Christ. This pattern for godliness produces a character that leads to making the decisions in Christ that will create the future God desires for you.As you understand His interest in your success, you will be able to contribute to that success with wisdom.  God is interested in your success and has promised to guide you as you add to His Kingdom.  As you invest the time to study God's Eternal Word, you will discover and develop the Image of Christ as it reflects upon your earthly and eternal existence in Him. The Results of the Disciples' Obedience to Jesus' Instruction:·         Two boats full of fish, nets were breaking·         Peter was a part of and took part in a miracle of God·         Peter saw himself as he had never seen himself before·         Others received the benefits of the miracle·         Peter's concept of God changed·         God changed the disciple's vocation·         God broke their hearts and instilled the correct idea of Jesus·         Jesus became a living reality for them.LOVE OFFERINGS ARE WELCOMED AT PAYPALbradwyrick@cox.net AUDIBLE BOOKS BY BRAD WYRICKAUTHOR PAGE AMAZONBuzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!

PRESSING ON TOWARD THE IMAGE OF CHRIST Paul declared of himself that he had fought a good fight, he had finished his race and was now looking to standing before the Judge, to receive his reward, the crown of righteousness which the Lord our righteous Judge shall give not only to him but to all who loves His appearing. VIEW: TRAILER – I AM THE IMAGE MAKER“THE EXCELLENCY OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF CHRIST.” Paul's teaching in Philippians 3:7-14 gives us great insight as to how to live the resurrected life and how to press on in Christ Jesus. That I may know him and the power of his resurrection, we all should want to know Him in the power of His resurrection. And more fully, “the excellency of the knowledge of Christ.”  To know HIM is more than merely to read a doctrine about Him. Believers come not only to redemption but to the Redeemer Himself. That I may know him—in truth and righteousness and the power of His resurrection, being justified through faith in the work of the Cross and raised spiritually with Him, finding our identification with Him in this, as in all the acts of His redeeming work for us, the power of the Divine Spirit, which raised Him from literal death, is the same, which raises believers from spiritual death now and shall raise their bodies from literal death hereafter.Paul moves on to the fellowship of his sufferings (Philippians 3:10). I like power, but I do not like misery. If Jesus suffered for us, we should suffer for Him. All true believers will enter the fellowship of His sufferings, for this strengthens our faith and produces maturity in our new life. The lessons we learn will prepare us for any trial we might face.Partaking in the fellowship of His sufferings—becomes our identification with Him. He bore all our sufferings, so we take part in His. It is part of God's will for our lives to purify and mature us for His glory.Our flesh always rebels against suffering. We like the power, but we do not like pain. We do not even like it when someone we love is suffering through a trial. The disciples found it difficult to handle this truth when Jesus started talking about the suffering that He was to experience. Peter cried out, “Lord, be that far from thee.” And Jesus said, “Get thee behind me, Satan, you offend me…. “(Matthew 16:23-24).It was the natural cry of man, “Spare yourself from suffering.” But Paul is willing to follow Jesus to the Cross. “I want to know him; I want to know him completely.” Yes, the power of the resurrection, but you can never know the power until you have, first, known the Cross.LOVE OFFERINGS ARE WELCOMED AT PAYPALbradwyrick@cox.net AUDIBLE BOOKS BY BRAD WYRICKAUTHOR PAGE AMAZONBuzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!

HISTORY'S END IS ETERNITY'S BEGINNING - Time Is Our Bus Stop – Eternity Is Our DestinationHave you ever asked God to let you be half as good as your dog thinks you are?VIEW: TRAILER – NO ROOM IN THE INN THE FIRST - THE LAST – THE GREATEST - FOCUS ON GOD; NOT THE 'I GOT YOU QUESTIONS'I want to be greater than great; in fact, I am leaning toward being the greatest. Our pride is astounding at times.  So concerned with our self-image, what others have, and what we don't. God is not impressed with how your self-esteem is feeling but how bright the Image of Christ reflects in your life.Many things in life are not worth the time invested, questions we entertain have no redeeming qualities, and our positions on earth are fleeting at best. Our eternal posts and crowns must have our complete and undivided attention. For this reason, James tells us to, "Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up." When you think about all the "Got You" questions in life, it's amazing what people come up with, especially concerning God. "Since God is love, why would He send anyone to Hell?" HE DOESN'T!  Those who deny Christ will, by that decision alone, determine their eternal state. Free choice can either be a gift or a curse. Recall the fall in the garden and stay obedient to God's Truth.Here is a ridiculous question asked of me, "If God is so great, can He make a rock too heavy for Him to pick up? WELL YES, HE IS GOD. But then He could reduce the weight and toss the rock across the universe. Silly little "Got You" Questions that only comfort those who would debate and deny God anyway. God doesn't play that game!When David killed Goliath, was he great, his aim greater or the rock greatest? His faith was more significant than the men of war; however, the God he served was the greatest. The Lord's strength was the greatest of David's weapons. He humbled himself before God for such a time as this.FOCUS ON JESUS FOR HE IS COMING BACK FOR HIS BRIDE AND HIS REWARD IS WITH HIM.LOVE OFFERINGS ARE WELCOMED AT PAYPALbradwyrick@cox.net AUDIBLE BOOKS BY BRAD WYRICKAUTHOR PAGE AMAZONBuzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!

GOD'S SPIRITUAL WAR CHEST “Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath: That by two immutable things, in which God couldn't lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us" (Hebrews 6:17-18).VIEW: TRAILER – I AM THE IMAGE MAKER“THINKING THEMSELVES TO BE WISE, THEY BECAME FOOLS.”THE VANITY OF HUMANITY HAS NO IMAGE:  Half-truths, lies, the world, and our old nature, which includes pride and greed are some of the most common strategies Satan uses to tempt us to sin against God. His goal is to keep us from God and eternal life. Reflecting the Image of God by the renewing of our minds is our calling now.We win the battle for control over our mind as we ‘put on the whole armor of God.”  The Apostle Paul writes, “For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds; Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God and bring into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ” (2 Corinthians 10:4-5).A changed life will always be the result of a renewed mind; a renewed spirit always results in a transformed life.The vanity of humanity with their vain imaginations are the strongholds that bind up the hearts of men — crafting arguments against God, holding on to every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God.We miss it entirely if we think the love of manipulation, the image of success, smooth words, the feeling of power, lording over authority, and human schemes and programs are just problems among unbelievers. Paul dealt with these types of hearts and minds in the church. We, too, can see this played out on the world stage and in the pulpit.It is in the imagination of men and in their thought life where Satan challenges God. We have heard it all before in Genesis and the Wilderness. “Hath God said? Does God know? Is there knowledge in the highest? Does God see?” And quite often, Satan deceives us into thinking God does not see. Thus, the importance of the ‘Helmet of Salvation.'LOVE OFFERINGS ARE WELCOMED AT PAYPALbradwyrick@cox.net AUDIBLE BOOKS BY BRAD WYRICKAUTHOR PAGE AMAZONBuzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!

“WHAT'S-IN-IT-FOR-ME?” ASKED THE CURIOUS BELIEVER"Blessed [is] the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him” (James 1:12).Jesus says, "Behold! I am coming quickly, and My Reward is with Me, to Render (Reward) to every man according to what he has DONE"(Revelation 22:12).VIEW: TRAILER – NO ROOM IN THE INNThere are so many perplexing questions facing us in life. Such as, "Which came first the chicken or the egg?" GOD came first, creating the chicken with the ability to lay eggs. The WII-FM question is for you and you alone to answer. If you are living for Christ, then the answer would be, ALL ETERNITY! However, separation from God through sin has ramifications on the individual, their circle of family, and friends. Justly, we do reap what we sow. Sin has consequences that affect us momentarily, seasonally, generationally, and in some cases, eternally. Since we have free choice, we must choose our decisions in life wisely. We need faith in God to begin anything we try to do.Hebrews 11:6 states, "But without faith, it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.” Notice, we first believe in the existence of God, then we must believe that God is good and rewards those who diligently seek Him. Faith is critical to our new life in Christ. Faith saved us; therefore, we walk in faith; we live by faith, and we bring glory to God when we grow in faith.If we are to count it all joy during the fiery trials of life, it's critical to our understanding "What's-In-It-For-Me,"; so, we know why we are pressing on. We must get it right here on earth, so as to be right when we arrive in Heaven. Remember, there are no do-overs once we leave this life behind.We have many questions to answer, so we know what to do, how to do it when to do it so that we will receive our crown of glory. What are rewards, how many are there, are there different rewards on earth and in Heaven? When do we obtain them?Forgiveness of our sins through the work of Jesus Christ, our Eternal Redeemer, allows us the privilege to partake in all His mercy and grace. This forgiveness prepares us for our eternal salvation. Born again of the Spirit gives us complete access to the mystery of the gospel and all His provisions.Justification begins our transformation into the image of Christ setting us apart from the world to do God's will. Entering this relationship, we "PUT OFF THE OLD MAN" and "PUT ON THE NEW MAN."  Participating in His suffering through our trials allows us to live in the power of His resurrection. The fruit from this will enable God to help us overcome all the trials of life to live victoriously.LOVE OFFERINGS ARE WELCOMED AT PAYPALbradwyrick@cox.net AUDIBLE BOOKS BY BRAD WYRICKAUTHOR PAGE AMAZONBuzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!

A RENEWED MIND REFLECTS A NEW IMAGE“But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.”-2 Corinthians 3:18VIEW: TRAILER – I AM THE IMAGE MAKERTHE THOUGHTS OF THE IMAGE MAKER“Therefore, if any man [be] in Christ, [he is] a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things become new” (2 Corinthians 5:17).Think Like Jesus Christ: If we are not to think the way that the world thinks, then what are we to be thinking? “How do we find and keep our thoughts in line with God's Principles?” We must search the scriptures to uncover God's promises and principles about this New Life He has given us through His Grace and Mercy. Since it is a New Life in Christ and He is the author and finisher of our faith, we must learn from His Words written in the volume of the book.In his epistles, Paul writes that every believer has a new will, mind, heart, life, inheritance, relationship, and citizenship. We also receive new power, knowledge, wisdom, belief, understanding, righteousness, love, and desire. He called it the “Newness of Life…” (Romans 6:4). According to the Word of God, WE ARE NEW. Our New Life is not a matter of addition; it is a Transformation!Key Verse to Memorize"I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me." (Galatians 2:20)The truth of the Word is the pill that everyone needs but cannot seem to swallow.CAUTION, not obeying God will cause you to run off in directions that will result in harm to you and your loved ones. You cannot escape the consequences of wrong actions. God's Word should always be at the threshold of every decision we face. For it is GOD'S MIND WRITTEN DOWN.A PROMISE “No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper, and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn.

PRAYER IS THE GREATEST PRIVILEGE OF ALLVIEW: TRAILER – NO ROOM IN THE INNPRAYER IS A TWO-WAY CONVERSATION WITH GODPrayer is worship that includes all the attitudes of the human spirit in its approach to God.  The Christian worships God when he adores, confesses, praises, and supplicates to God in Prayer, (Supplicates means to make requests to God). The highest activity of which the human spirit is capable of is communion with God, so long as the due emphasis is upon divine initiative.Jesus tells us that ideal prayer holds both a request for personal forgiveness and a request for a forgiving spirit.A man prays because God has already touched his spirit.  The biblical doctrine of worship emphasizes the character of God, the necessity of a man's being in a saved relationship with Him. Thus, allowing access to all the privileges and obligations of that relationship with God.God speaks to our spiritual ears, revealing Himself to our spiritual eyes, and draws near to touch with our spiritual hands.TO WHOM SHOULD WE PRAY?Looking at the unique roles that each member of the Trinity plays when it comes to prayer, will best answer this question.GOD THE FATHER - THE SOURCE OF ALL OUR NEEDSGod, the Father, occupies the seat of sovereignty and acts on behalf of His spiritual children.  The Father desires that we approach Him with the warm, tender cry of a child - "Abba, Father."  Jesus pointed His disciples to the Father when they spoke in Prayer, and always addressed the Father in His prayers.JESUS CHRIST - THE MEDIATORThe Son's role in prayer is the Mediator, the High Priest, and the Revealer of God.  By His death for us, Jesus Christ opened the way to the Father and gave us His name to carry our concerns to the Father in Prayer. He became our eternal High Priest, interceding for us with the Father because He understands our fears, giving us the confidence to draw near to God (Hebrews 4:14-16).  The standard practice of the apostles and the saints is to address the Father in Jesus' name. We ask Jesus because He is the high priest that intercedes for us before the throne of God. Jesus argues our case for our standing in Him just as a lawyer would do in court.THE HOLY SPIRIT - THE ENABLERThe Holy Spirit, as the third member of the Trinity, acts as the Enabler and the Interceder in Prayer.  The Holy Spirit makes the believer aware of his status as a child of God (Romans 8:15, Galatians 4:6). He motivates and empowers us as we "pray in the Spirit" (Ephesians 6:18).  The spirit also comes alongside the believer in prayer and helps "carry the load" and directs the believer when they do not know what to ask or how to pray (Romans 8:26-27).LOVE OFFERINGS ARE WELCOMED AT PAYPALbradwyrick@cox.net AUDIBLE BOOKS BY BRAD WYRICKAUTHOR PAGE AMAZONBuzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!

LESSONS FROM THE MASTER “So, shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it” (Isaiah 55:11).VIEW: TRAILER – I AM THE IMAGE MAKERJESUS WAS TEMPTED THREE TIMESThese sins, "the lust of the flesh. The lust of the eyes.  And the pride of life." All depicted in Jesus' temptation in the wilderness.First, Jesus was tempted to sin against God by pursuing worldly things rather than God. He was tempted by His physical needs, the lust of the flesh when He was tempted to turn the stones into bread.Next, Jesus was tempted to do something spectacular by throwing Himself off the temple and having His angels rescue Him, the lust of the eyes.Finally, Jesus was tempted to receive all the kingdoms of the world if He worshiped Satan; this is idol worship and the pride of life (See Matthew 4:1).These three temptations that Jesus resisted in the wilderness mirror Adam and Eve's temptations and sin in the Garden and reflects what John defines as loving the world, the sins of "the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life."The temptation of Jesus by Satan (Luke 3:1-14) parallels Genesis three. The devil wanted Jesus to turn the stones into bread (flesh), to gaze at all the kingdoms and their glory (eyes), and to jump down from the Temple to prove He was the Messiah (pride of life). The methods of Satan never change.LOVE OFFERINGS ARE WELCOMED AT PAYPALbradwyrick@cox.net AUDIBLE BOOKS BY BRAD WYRICKAUTHOR PAGE AMAZONBuzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!

GOD'S SPIRITUAL WAR CHEST SPIRITUAL TOOLS FOR WINNING THE BATTLE VIEW: TRAILER – NO ROOM IN THE INN In this chapter, we will examine each piece of armor to understand how vital they are in the believer's life and how to use them according to God's purpose and power. God has divine resources for our trials, temptations, and warfare. We only need to know what is available to us and let God use them through us.Our warfare alongside Christ: As Paul sums up the book of Ephesians in Chapter 6, he tells us that we have all the resources, all the power, and all the principles to live the Christian life.  However, there is one thing left that we need to know:  It will not be simple living the Christian life! The change that occurs at your rebirth is more dramatic than the change that will happen when you die.Even though we have the power and the principles, our enemy, Satan, will try to prevent the divine purpose in our lives.  So, in defining the Christian life, the best term to use would be warfare.  Repeatedly in Scripture, we see the Christian life in terms of combat. Whether you're at the beginning of your Christian experience or the end of it, you're going to be in the same battle; and if you think it will get more comfortable, you're wrong!The more productive you become as a believer; the harder Satan will work against you. It's always been a war, and it will never stop being a war here on earth.  However, the longer you fight, the more victories you will gain; and the higher the strings of wins, the more confidence you will have in God.We are the people of God, and we are set in this world to carry out the goals, plans, and purposes which God Himself designed.  Because of this, God has given us tremendous resources.LOVE OFFERINGS ARE WELCOMED AT PAYPALbradwyrick@cox.net AUDIBLE BOOKS BY BRAD WYRICKAUTHOR PAGE AMAZONBuzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!

"BE RENEWED IN THE SPIRIT OF YOUR MIND"God's Eternal Purpose Is to Make Us Like HimselfVIEW: TRAILER – NO ROOM IN THE INN Putting on the mind of Christ is essential in controlling our thought life. But first, we must put off our old carnal mind. God has made promises and provisions for us to change our way of thinking. His Word instructs us on how to submit to the will of God. As we have discovered in earlier chapters, God's ways are not our ways.When we start to think in a carnal way, we must stop our thoughts, take dominion over them in Jesus' name, and "not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind”(Romans 12:2). The question should always be, “What would Jesus think and do?”In this chapter, we will examine how vital our thought life is in winning our spiritual battles. “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled” (2 Corinthians 10: 3-6).Scripture has commanded us to "Put on The Whole Armor of God." Once on, we are to keep it on. Our victory in spiritual battles come in the power of the Holy Spirit. We prepare for warfare by bringing our thoughts into captivity and obedience by asking yourself in all situations, “what would Jesus think, do, or say,” and then imitate Him. Our real battles, our real warfare is not physical. They are spiritual battles with spirit entities that surround us, and there is spiritual warfare continually going on. One only needs to look around them to see the effects of pure evil in this world ruled by Satan.Although, we walk in the flesh; that is, we are in a body of flesh; our real warfare is not fleshly.  Paul, writing to the Ephesians, said, "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, and powers, and spiritual entities in high places" (Ephesians 6:12).“We walk in the weakness of the flesh," but though we WALK in it, we do not WAR according to it. We walk in faith and not by sight. Thus, the importance of increasing our confidence. Paul exhorts us concerning one piece of armor much needed, “above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked” (Ephesians 6:16).LOVE OFFERINGS ARE WELCOMED AT PAYPALbradwyrick@cox.net AUDIBLE BOOKS BY BRAD WYRICKAUTHOR PAGE AMAZONBuzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!

CRUCIFYING OUR OLD IMAGE“If children, then heirs – heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer for Him, that we may also be glorified together” (Romans 8:17).VIEW: TRAILER – I AM THE IMAGE MAKERTHE RESURRECTED LIFE ALWAYS FOLLOWS THE CRUCIFIED LIFEThe Cross was the tool God used to prepare the way of salvation. We must also believe that God raised Jesus from the dead because this is where the power of God enters our lives. We died at the Cross to our old life. We begin our new life in the resurrected power of the Holy Spirit. As we live the resurrected life, we enter the fellowship of Jesus' suffering. Thus, preparing us for trials and the spiritual battles we will fight.The earthly form of Christ is the way He died on the cross. The image of God is the image of Christ crucified. It is this image that the life of the disciple must live. In other words, they adjusted to His death. A life of crucifixion. Anybody living in the strength of Christ's baptism lives in the power of His death. Thus, a daily dying in the war between the flesh and the spirit. The suffering which all his disciples on earth must undergo.Christians called according to His purpose will find the Cross a necessary path to maturity. We are opening the way to enter the fellowship of His suffering. Thus, living in the power of His resurrection, resulting in a true reflection of His Image for all to behold. Remember, the resurrected life always follows the crucified life. When we take an area of our lives to the Cross and put it to death, God resurrects that area in newness for His glory.Jesus is dead serious about His Word; in fact, He died to keep His Word. He says that we must be born again of the Spirit. Enter the fellowship of His suffering, be conformed into His image, and live in the power of His resurrection. We are also told to do good works on earth, lay our treasures up in heaven, and seek the kingdom of God more than anything else. Knowing that the truth will set us free, we will rely on the author and finisher of our faith (Jesus) to teach us the doctrinal truth in everything.It is through the fellowship of His suffering we grow in faith. And as we look to Jesus, the author, and finisher of our faith, all things are possible. “Wherefore seeing we also are compassed [surrounded] about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God” (Hebrew 12:1-2).LOVE OFFERINGS ARE WELCOMED AT PAYPALbradwyrick@cox.net AUDIBLE BOOKS BY BRAD WYRICKAUTHOR PAGE AMAZONBuzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!

A PARABLE IS AN EARTHLY STORY CONTAINING A HEAVENLY MEANINGIt has applications for us today on earth and in eternity to come.VIEW: TRAILER – NO ROOM IN THE INN The Parable of The Sower Paraphrased:A farmer spreads seed that falls into four types of soil. The birds eat the seed that falls on hard soil because it never sunk into the ground. A seed that falls on rocks springs up quickly but withers due to a lack of root. The seed that falls in weeds is choked out and overtaken for lack of sun. The seed that falls in GOOD SOIL produces much fruit.This parable explains that the four soils symbolize four types of hearts and the responses after people hear the proclamation of the kingdom of God. The parable challenges us to receive the Word about the kingdom of heaven. To focus on that message and grow. A real hearing and understanding of the message of the Kingdom of God becomes a crucial lesson and can help a believer in producing a productive life. The purpose of a parable is always to explain the truth. When a person cannot understand or see a fact, then you use a story. You take something familiar to them, something that they can understand, and incorporate this into an account that teaches the principles that you are trying to get across to them.Jesus noticed that the people were not listening when He spoke simple truths, so He began to tell stories to encourage the people to listen to Him. Jesus spoke in the language of the people – He taught at their level. Jesus taught this way to convey the message of salvation and the kingdom clearly and straightforwardly.THE SOWER: The emphasis of the parable is not on the sower; it is on the seed, and what happens to the grain when it falls on different soils. A sower went out to sow, and as he sowed, some seed fell by the wayside on a stony place among thorns on good ground. In this parable, the seed fell on four distinct types of soil. So, the "sower" in this parable likely refers to Jesus.THE SEED: The seed is the Word of the Kingdom - (Matthew 13:19a). The seed also stands for the Gospel of the Kingdom, which was the theme of Jesus' preaching – (Matthew 4:23).LET'S REVIEW THE FOUR SOILS:  1) Seed that falls on hard soil, 2) Seed that falls on rocks, 3) Seed that falls in weeds, and 4) Seed that falls in GOOD SOIL.LOVE OFFERINGS ARE WELCOMED AT PAYPALbradwyrick@cox.net AUDIBLE BOOKS BY BRAD WYRICKAUTHOR PAGE AMAZONBuzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!

REPAIRING GOD'S IMAGE IN US“Come now, and let us reason together,” Says the LORD, “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool” (Isaiah 1:18).                    JESUS SPILT HIS BLOOD ON THE CROSS FOR OUR SALVATION.         IF WE GET A SPLINTER PICKING UP OUR CROSS, IT WILL NOT KILL US. VIEW: TRAILER – I AM THE IMAGE MAKERWHOSOEVER MEANS YOUChrist died on the CROSS for WHOSOEVER would in faith believe and receive the gift of salvation. Jesus' past workings on the Cross fulfills His promise to anyone today who will respond to it. Therefore, faith is believing God's Word and acting upon it.The Cross of Christ is the most urgent message this world will ever hear. In Galatians 6:14, the apostle Paul said, “But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.” In other words, all he had received through inheritance or accomplishments in life was nothing compared to His relationship with God through His Son Jesus. Paul's position, riches, influence, reputation, and physical comfort lost their meaning when weighed against the redemption that was his through the crucifixion.God's ways are infinite, and we are finite in our knowledge of His preordained plans. Our carnal intellect wants a process to follow with, step-by-step-directions of God's predestined plan for our lives. Isaiah 55:8 states, “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways,” says the LORD.”The Good News is we do have a roadmap to follow, and it is the WORD of GOD. We are to study to show ourselves approved, rightly dividing the Word of Truth. (2 Timothy 2:15).He also sent us the Holy Spirit to enlighten us, “But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you” (John 14:26). If we lack understanding, ask God in prayer, and He will increase our faith to understand His wisdom and truth.LOVE OFFERINGS ARE WELCOMED AT PAYPALbradwyrick@cox.net AUDIBLE BOOKS BY BRAD WYRICKAUTHOR PAGE AMAZONBuzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!

GOD IS THE PROMISE-KEEPER - You can bet your life on it!“For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us” (2 Corinthians 1:20).VIEW: TRAILER – NO ROOM IN THE INNUnderstanding God's promises are vital for every trial and temptation we face in life. There are promises to deliver us from them, to help guide us through them and teach us spiritual lessons to mature us. There are over 3,000 promises in the Bible. Jesus promises us that He will be with us even to the world's end. God promises to only give good things to us. God promises us eternal life if we believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. There are many, many other promises awaiting your response.There are two Principles we need to learn about God's Promises. 1) We must understand that "God's past promises/workings meet our present response." 2) And, "Faith is believing God's Word and acting upon it."For example, we have a promise that if we believe in Jesus Christ and are born again, we will receive eternal life. Therefore, applying the Principle in faith brings the blessing.  Without these two Principles, the Process of Transforming us into the Image of Christ will not take root to change our lives.We first believe in faith that God will fulfill His promise, and then we apply the Principles of teaching by doing those things that prove we accept and love God. You say you have faith then prove it.AUDIBLE BOOKS BY BRAD WYRICKAUTHOR PAGE AMAZONBuzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched! Start for FREEInstacart - Groceries delivered in as little as 1 hour.

“Liar-Liar, Pants on Fire, Nose as Long as a Telephone wire!”“But above all, my brethren, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or with any other oath. But let your “Yes” be “Yes,” and your “No,” “No,” lest you fall into judgment.” (James 5:12)Promises are to be kept or not made at all. In Matthew Chapter 26, we find one of the most significant broken promises in all the Bible. Peter promised Jesus that he would never stumble or never deny Him. Jesus said to him, "Assuredly, I say to you that this night before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times." Peter did deny Him three times as Jesus foretold. And Peter remembered the word of Jesus who had said to him, “Before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.” So, he went out and wept bitterly.” Our promises should be commitments to God made in faith, founded in His Word, approved by His will, implemented through His principles, for the improvement of the Church and bringing Glory to God. Our eternal relationship is more significant than our gratification. God is more concerned with our character than our comfort. His goal is not to pamper us physically but to perfect us spiritually.When you think about it, these lessons we learn through Peters's spiritual highs and carnal lows represent our Christian walk. We confess Christ as Lord, then as we sojourn, we deny Him, we backslide, we have seasons of the soul and we must repent. God is gracious to restore us when we ask Him for forgiveness. Peter in one breath proclaimed Jesus to be the Messiah, the Son of the living God. Next breath we find him rebuking Jesus.LOVE OFFERINGS ARE WELCOMED AT PAYPALbradwyrick@cox.net AUDIBLE BOOKS BY BRAD WYRICKAUTHOR PAGE AMAZONBuzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!

THE IMAGE OF THREE IN ONE"And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly." 1 Corinthians 15:49VIEW: TRAILER – I AM THE IMAGE MAKERThe Bible says that God has an overwhelming purpose behind everything that He does. He wants to Redeem us and Make Us Like Him. God is not just satisfied saving us from eternal torment; He has a higher purpose for our lives.God's purpose for each of us is to transform us into the Image of His Dear Son Jesus Christ. His plan in the beginning after creating heaven and earth was to populate this earth with men and women who would bear His Image and Likeness.We had an interruption into God's Great Plan. Satan came into the garden and tempted Eve, and she ate of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, and so did Adam. Thus, forfeiting their spiritual relationship with God and displacing the Image and Likeness of God.Although this interfered with God's plan, it did not cause God to change His plan. That is, God's plan is still to populate this earth with those who would bear His likeness and image.“For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren” (Romans 8:29).You are those who follow Christ and destined to bear His Image. And to be the brethren of the firstborn Son of God. The goal is to become "as Christ."  Christ's followers always have his image before their lives to make them more like their Master.In life and death, Christ revealed. His divine Image. The incarnation of Jesus, His death on the cross, His burial, and resurrection are all indispensable parts of that image. Therefore, put on the mind of Christ and be conformed into His Image.LOVE OFFERINGS ARE WELCOMED AT PAYPALbradwyrick@cox.net AUDIBLE BOOKS BY BRAD WYRICKAUTHOR PAGE AMAZONBuzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!

The Resurrected Life Always Follows the Crucified LifeJesus is the author of our faith. He is the one who has planted faith in our hearts, and He is also the finisher of our faith. “Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ” (Philippians 1:6).VIEW: TRAILER – NO ROOM IN THE INN If you are still worshiping God at the foot of the Cross, you are living in the past. Move beyond the Cross and live in the power of His resurrection. We do this as we enter the fellowship of His suffering. The Cross was the tool God used to prepare the way of salvation. We must also believe that God raised Jesus from the dead because this is where the power of God enters our lives. We died at the Cross to our old life. We begin our new life in the resurrected power of the Holy Spirit. As we live the resurrected life, we enter the fellowship of Jesus' suffering. Thus, preparing us for trials and the spiritual battles we will fight.It is through the fellowship of His suffering we grow in faith. And as we look to Jesus, the author, and finisher of our faith, all things are possible. “Wherefore seeing we also are compassed [surrounded] about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God” (Hebrew 12:1-2).The writer of Hebrews likened the Christian life to running in the Olympics. We that run in a race should put everything we've got into winning. Let's note that we are not running a human race where only one receives the prize. Our competition is spiritual, and we're running ours alone. Of course, we have God running alongside us.You're not trying to beat other believers over the finish line. The only competitor is you, and the competition is the weights and the sins that might stumble your life off course. Lay aside the old life, sin not, resist the devil and let God be your running track. Stay focused on Jesus and keep within your line.LOVE OFFERINGS ARE WELCOMED AT PAYPALbradwyrick@cox.net AUDIBLE BOOKS BY BRAD WYRICKAUTHOR PAGE AMAZONBuzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!

GOD WILL REDEEM OUR IMAGE"And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly" (1 Corinthians 15:49). VIEW: TRAILER – I AM THE IMAGE MAKER"In the beginning God". . . The subject of the Bible is God, and the purpose of the Scriptures is to bring us to the saving knowledge of God and His love for us through Jesus (The Word). "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God" (John 1:1).Genesis is the book of beginnings: the beginning of creation, the beginning of man, the beginning of sin, the beginning of death, and the beginning of God's plan for the redemption of mankind. Man has fallen from grace, he has a broken image, separated from God, and we all are reaping the consequences of sin.A sinful life has ramifications on the individual, their circle of family, and friends. Justly, we do reap what we sow. Sin has consequences that affect us momentarily, seasonally, generationally, and in some cases, eternally.We need God's Word (Jesus) to provide us with a dependable body of knowledge concerning God and His eternal plan. He is the creator of all things, the object of creation, and the sustainer of all things that are. "God created the heaven and the earth." The Hebrew word for God in verse 1 is "Elohim," which is plural. Indicating the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit acted together to create the world.In Genesis chapter one, God began with creating the earth and adapting it for man. When God had the earth ready, He "formed man of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul" (Genesis 2:7). When God created man and placed him upon the earth, He created him with his spirit uppermost. The man was spirit, soul, and body, reflecting the image of God.God is God, and we are not. The Bible never seeks to prove the existence of God. The Word tells us to work out our salvation with fear and trembling. (Philippians 2:12) Scripture assumes that only the fool would say that there is no God, and it is folly to argue with a jerk. God is although out in His creation. The apostle Paul puts it this way, “For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead so that they are without excuse.” (Romans1:20)It was by His Word that the universe came into existence, "For he spoke, and it came to be; he commanded, and it stood firm" (Psalm 33:9), and "we understand that the universe was created by the Word of God” (Hebrews 11:3).LOVE OFFERINGS ARE WELCOMED AT PAYPALbradwyrick@cox.net AUDIBLE BOOKS BY BRAD WYRICKAUTHOR PAGE AMAZONBuzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!

10 - GOD'S STILL SMALL VOICECLICK to viewTRAILER - I AM THE PROMISE KEEPERHave you ever argued with God knowing you will never win? Or making promises in the Spirit that your flesh refuses to fulfill? Well, a crazy thing happened on the way to eternity. I lost an argument with God. Can you believe that? There I was in the back of my semitrailer, making a delivery, and arguing with God. Attempting to negotiate terms with Him knowing quite well, He doesn't play that game.  I was trying to negotiate the terms of dating my checkout girl at the grocery store. I had been going there buying one item at a time to talk to her. Never having the nerve to ask her out, I just kept going in, hoping God would open the door. Maybe He might give me the backbone to pursue this desire. I tried bargaining with Him explaining how great of an addition she would be to His kingdom, and I would help bring this about for Him.LOVE OFFERINGS ARE WELCOMED AT PAYPALbradwyrick@cox.net AUDIBLE BOOKS BY BRAD WYRICKAUTHOR PAGE AMAZONBuzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!

GOD'S PATH – GOD'S WORD – GOD'S HEARTThe Good News is we have a roadmap to follow, and it is the WORD of GOD. If we lack understanding, ask God in prayer, and He will increase our faith to understand His wisdom and truth. Following is an excellent roadmap to guide us and equip us to apply His Word as we move toward eternity.  Keeping our eyes upon the prize that is in Christ Jesus, let us commit ourselves to the leading and inspiration of the Holy Spirit. The Word will lead you, instruct you, mature you, protect you, and supply a way to escape the fiery trials of life.Knowledge is the Apprehension of TRUTH in one's mind, but Wisdom is the Application of TRUTH to one's life."But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves" (James 1:22).THE GOAL OF THE WORD: To “study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth” (2 Timothy 2:15).THE PURPOSE OF THE WORD: “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works” (2 Timothy 3:16-17).THE QUESTIONS CONCERNING THE WORD:Are there any Examples for me to Follow?Are there any Commands for me to Obey?Are there any Errors for me to Avoid?Are there any SINS for me to Forsake?Are there any New Thoughts about GOD Himself?Are there any Promises for me to Apply?Are there any Principles I must Accept?THE PROMISE FROM THE WORD: “But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you” (John 14:26)."Thy WORD is a Lamp unto my Feet and a Light unto my Path"(Psalm 119: 105).LOVE OFFERINGS ARE WELCOMED AT PAYPALbradwyrick@cox.net AUDIBLE BOOKS BY BRAD WYRICKAUTHOR PAGE AMAZONBuzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!

 Is God's image on the Auction block? What will a man give in exchange for his soul?  If not His image then who's? God created man in His image; unfortunately, for the price of an apple, Adam and Eve discarded their true reflection. Your soul is eternal, and the image of Christ is essential.The world is going to pass away and the lust thereof.  Then the question, “what will a man give in exchange for his soul?” What would you take for your soul? Some of you have been wandering in the wilderness in your Christian experience, maintaining a barren soul—His image, just a dimming light. God is calling you to spark up the flame, pass over Jordan, and enter the promised land.VIEW: TRAILER – I AM THE IMAGE MAKER Satan's greatest weapon is man's ignorance of God's Word! Additionally, half of the truth is the worst part of the lie. With every temptation, there is a lie involved. (1) The Prove It Lie, (2) The “For It Is Written” Lie, and (3) The Short Cut Lie. The devil deceived Eve in the garden with these lies while Jesus was victorious in the wilderness. The devil would have us conform to the ways of this world through peer pressure.  The Christian life is so different from the world's way of thinking. The world wants their self-esteem to feel good, while God tells us to esteem others more highly than ourselves. Non-believers need their image to shine above all others, but God wants Jesus's Image to prevail. The world says to go for it, no matter the cost. God's Word tells us to count the cost.God's image is worth the battle. Winning victories as we put off the old man and put on the new. We experience transformation when we learn how to use the Word of God to overcome the world.  When we become Christians, God does not remodel us or add to who we are – He transforms us.  A Believer does not have two different natures.  He has one new character – the single life in Christ.  The old self dies, and the new person becomes alive; they do not coexist.God's Word urges us to “Put on the new man,” a new behavior that is proper to our original nature. But to do so, we must end the patterns and practices of our old life. Furthermore, He has given us the rules, the principles, the strategies, the armor, and the promises for fulfilling His purpose. If we will renew our minds and study the Word, then we will be able to sort out and discern the will of God. When we make the right decisions combined with some skills, we will succeed and come out on top.LOVE OFFERINGS ARE WELCOMED AT PAYPALbradwyrick@cox.net AUDIBLE BOOKS BY BRAD WYRICKAUTHOR PAGE AMAZONBuzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!

 LIAR-LIAR, PANTS ON FIRE “But above all, my brethren, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or with any other oath. But let your “Yes” be “Yes,” and your “No,” “No,” lest you fall into judgment.”(James 5:12)VIEW: TRAILER – I AM THE IMAGE MAKERSatan's greatest weapon is man's ignorance of God's Word!  Additionally, half of the truth is the worst part of the lie. With every temptation, there is a lie involved. (1) The Prove It Lie, (2) The “For It Is Written” Lie, and (3) The Short Cut Lie. The devil deceived Eve in the garden with these lies while Jesus was victorious in the wilderness. The problem with half-truths is that when we believe them, we receive the consequences of that decision. Half-truths are enticing, pleasant, and more natural path to take. Satan told Eve half of God's truth, deceiving her into partaking of the fruit of the tree. That decision resulted in the fall of man and the curses pronounced upon Satan, Adam, and Eve. Everyone today is experiencing the ramifications of their choice; each day we live on earth.Satan later tried this deception on Jesus in the wilderness, but Jesus wisely used the WORD to overcome the temptations. Jesus replies to every lie by speaking the Word of Truth; “For it is written . . . Worship the Lord thy God” (Matthew 4:10).The greatest and most deceptive half-truth conceived by man is that “ALL ROADS LEAD TO GOD.” This eternally destructive lie states that since God is love, and you are a good person, God will never send you to hell. The whole and complete truth are that all roads do lead to God but for distinct reasons and different ends: believers for their rewards and non-believers for judgment.I think Alice-in-Wonderland said, “If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there.” I am sure she was referring to the rabbit hole roads in her fairy tale. Maybe this is what people are miss quoting when they say, “All roads lead to Heaven.”  It is vital to understand what happens with this kind of Half-Truth-Thinking.Indeed, God does not send anyone to hell. We alone choose between heaven or hell according to our belief in or rejection of Jesus Christ. Those who accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior will receive eternal life. Those who deny Christ will, by that decision alone, will separate themselves from God for all eternity. Free choice can either be a gift or a curse.When tempted, there is a lie involved, and we must use the Word of God to overcome Satan. THE PROVE IT LIE, THE “FOR IT IS WRITTEN” LIE, and THE SHORT CUT LIE. Eve had the misfortune of being deceived by these lies. On the other hand, they were unsuccessful with Jesus in the wilderness.These lies are temptations familiar to us all. We will face them for the rest of our lives.  There is no escape other than through Jesus.  Spiritual maturity only causes Satan to increase pressure. The devil attacks us in all areas of our life, trying to deceive us and draw us away from our walk with God. The Word of God helps us to overcome the things of this world.AUDIBLE BOOKS BY BRAD WYRICKAUTHOR PAGE AMAZONBuzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!

Embrace trials while resisting Temptations "Therefore, submit to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you."  (James 4:7).VIEW: TRAILER – NO ROOM IN THE INN“NO ROOM IN THE INN” has become a metaphor for just about everything that goes wrong in our lives. Not that we take the story of Mary and Joseph lightly, but we can see their trials and hardships reflected in our situations. However, take courage in the Lord, knowing that our tests will produce patience and hope. God is faithful to His promises to be with us, deliver us, and strengthen our walk with Him. Knowing God's ways are not our ways, yet His way will always perfect us as we wait upon Him. The trying of our faith is transforming us into the image of Christ. Whatever the tribulation we are going through, He has a divine plan for it and a purpose for us to fulfill.God has a promise we can count on whenever we feel that there is “NO ROOM IN THE INN” for us. “Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ” (Philippians 1:6). We need to exercise faith in His preordained will and discipline ourselves to wait on the Lord and develop patience while waiting for His answers to our breakthroughs.Embrace trials while resisting temptations because the temptation to evil desires and to act on them is dangerous. James tells us that the reason this is so is that it will lead to sin and death: "But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death" (James 1:14-15). Where there is sin, there is always death of some kind. We experience — the end to a relationship, our influence, our intimacy with God.  The equation is absolute but straightforward:  temptation plus sin equals death.  Is the gratification of your fascination and evil desires worth what it will destroy? Beware!It is easy to become discouraged and tempted to give up and give in when we continue to fail before the tempter.  Our continued failure is often, in part, the result of our misunderstandings about the nature of temptation. Our responsibility is to control the things that dominate our thoughts.  Christ was tempted, but without sin.LOVE OFFERINGS ARE WELCOMED AT PAYPALbradwyrick@cox.net AUDIBLE BOOKS BY BRAD WYRICKAUTHOR PAGE AMAZONBuzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!

9 – MORE PRECIOUS THAN GOLD"It is good for me that I was afflicted, that I may learn Your statutes." (Psalm 119:71)VIEW: TRAILER - I AM THE PROMISE KEEPERGod is setting up His eternal kingdom, and He uses the fiery trials of life to build our faith, mature us, lead us, deliver us, and develop character within us. Foremost, tests are one-way God's plan can merge with His purpose for our lives. So, it's critical to understand the purpose of trials so as to know what to do, how to do it, when to do it, why we are doing it, what happens if we don't do it and what are our rewards for doing it right?  A great insight is we embrace trials while resisting temptations. We must get it right here on earth, so as to be right when we arrive in heaven. Remember, there are no do-overs once we leave this life behind.God desires us to embrace trials while resisting temptations.Discerning the origin of trials helps formulate the proper response to them and uncovers God's purposes behind them. Are they from the devil, our carnal mind, imposed by a fallen world and the people around us, or something God would have us embrace?  Discovering the purpose of trials, how to overcome them, how to be obedient during them, how to grow because of them, and which promises can I apply to them, will lay the foundation to ". . . Count it all joy" when these fiery trials appear. LOVE OFFERINGS ARE WELCOMED AT PAYPALbradwyrick@cox.net AUDIBLE BOOKS BY BRAD WYRICKAUTHOR PAGE AMAZONBuzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!

8 - PRAYING SCRIPTURE EMPOWERS OUR PRAYER LIFEVIEW: TRAILER - I AM THE PROMISE KEEPER“Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him” (1 John 5:14-15).Praying and seeking God should be a top priority in the believer's life. Prayer is mentioned over 500 times in the Scriptures.  Everyone can exercise this fantastic resource. It's a ministry for many, and the most crucial activity afforded a believer.Incredibly, we each have a high priority connection directly into the Throne Room of the Universe! It is bizarre to realize that this astonishing resource is so available and so rarely used. It is unquestionably the most potent weapon we could have. What a powerful spiritual weapon prayer is. In this spiritual warfare, prayer is often the deciding factor in the spiritual battle. “Praying with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, watching with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints; and for pray for me, [Paul says,] that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel” (Ephesians 6:18-19).LOVE OFFERINGS ARE WELCOMED AT PAYPALbradwyrick@cox.net AUDIBLE BOOKS BY BRAD WYRICKAUTHOR PAGE AMAZONBuzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!

HOW TO EMBRACE THE TRIALS OF LIFE"It is good for me that I was afflicted, that I may learn Your statutes." (Psalm 119:71).VIEW: TRAILER – NO ROOM IN THE INNOne purpose of a trial is to know what is in your heart. Not that God doesn't already know. The problem is, we don't know what's in our hearts. We may think that we're okay and we don't have a problem. Thus, God will allow a trial in our life to show us what's really in our hearts.The prophet Jeremiah reaffirms, “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; Who can know it? I, the LORD, search the heart, I test the mind.”  (Jeremiah 17:9-10). God's testing helps us to understand ourselves and to know our limitations and our weaknesses, so we will learn to trust in God and not in ourselves.During trials, it is challenging to realize that God will lead us step by step. There are so many things in our hearts that God needs to deal with, but He cannot deal with them until they surface, and testing will do that to allow us to see the truth. We need to be humble. We cannot allow pride to rule in our hearts. Pride will always keep us from seeing the truth about ourselves. Always remember that God hates the proud (Proverbs 6:16-17). Pride is a great enemy to you. It will lie to you, and it can destroy you. But "humble yourself in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up" (James 4:10).Every trial is intended to bring us closer to God, where we learn to grow and where we see the power and the love of God manifested. It's there where you come into a deeper relationship with God. James tells us to, “But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing” (James 1:4).Another purpose for trials is to mold us into the image of Jesus Christ. They also bring you into maturity as you learn lessons from trials. God would have us to grow up and become mature. Patience is one of the main ways that produces wisdom and maturity.Trials bring a necessary season to seek wisdom from God. We often don't know how much we need understanding until our time of difficulty. During a test we need to see if it is something God wants us to eliminate from our lives, is it a lesson we need to apply to our lives, or is the devil attacking our faith in God?  Wisdom must discern between the three, perseverance to get through it, and trust in God is knowing He is with us.Wisdom is much more than knowledge, and believers need to seek it with their whole heart. Knowledge is raw information, but wisdom knows how to use it. Someone once said that “knowledge is the ability to take things apart, but wisdom is the ability to put things together.”“But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind” (James 1:6).LOVE OFFERINGS ARE WELCOMED AT PAYPALbradwyrick@cox.net AUDIBLE BOOKS BY BRAD WYRICKAUTHOR PAGE AMAZONBuzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!

7 - THE EMPTY NETS OF SUCCESSVIEW: TRAILER - I AM THE PROMISE KEEPERJesus said to Peter, "Let me get into your boat."  Jesus begins to speak to the multitudes that had gathered on the shoreline. Peter is thinking, "Here is Jesus in my boat, and I've failed Him; I've let Him down.  I started to become His disciple; I even saw miracles.This story of Peter is about a man who learned from his failure.  And how success happened because of a simple thing. It happened when Jesus came aboard his little boat and gave directions that he followed.  And that is where we will find success in our lives when we let Jesus be in control. We will all have failures, but we will learn more from our failures than our successes. When we have partial success, it's because we only partially obeyed.  Consequently, the reason Peter was pulling up empty nets was that he was outside God's will. If you know God has called you to do a sure thing, yet you refuse to do it, you are miserable and frustrated, and you're pulling up empty net after empty net.  It is time to return to your first love and do what God has told you to do, and you will be where you ought to be.LOVE OFFERINGS ARE WELCOMED AT PAYPALbradwyrick@cox.net AUDIBLE BOOKS BY BRAD WYRICKAUTHOR PAGE AMAZONBuzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!

MY “NO ROOM IN THE INN' TRIALS BEGAN DECADES AGOVIEW: TRAILER – NO ROOM IN THE INNThe trials of life started for me at an early age. Of course, I didn't know what I was going through had a name. Looking back over my life, I can testify there were plenty of them that helped in shaping the person whom I became.When I was six months old, a drunk driver hit the side of our car, killing my mother. The invention of seatbelts or car seats came years later. Since I was in my mother's arms, the impact tossed both of us out of the car.  I was in the hospital for a few months with blood on the brain and had a few surgeries to relieve the pressure. Due to the operations, I have scarring on both sides of my head. My father later remarried, and we had a new set of rules in the house. One was we had to wave goodbye to the ice cream truck as it drove by our house. Another one was that a butch haircut (crew-cut) would help save on the cost of living. These types of financial decisions became a source of my anguish for many years. Don't get me wrong. I am not complaining or blaming, just sharing a story from my life. Besides, I wasn't the ideal child to raise.My peers, who I thought were my friends, called me a scar head. These were my bullies of yesteryear, which we find in such behavior today. Once again, no name just the pain. I could have been on all the talk shows blaming everyone and maybe authored a book on the subject. Events in my entire childhood didn't help in building my self-esteem.My mom told me to tell everyone that the Indians Scalped Me. Such a statement was politically correct in the '60s; however, it did not protect me from the onslaughts of my enemy-friends. Ridiculed continuously devastated my life for many years to come. One time I ran away was because I did not want to cut my hair.I remember being in the sixth grade and trying to join a club within my school. The night that they were to vote me in and or vote me out, I was so excited that I would be a member of this elite society. Before the vote, they asked me to step outside so that I would not be in the room during their evaluation of me as a potential member of the group.Back in the room after the vote, my excitement was so high because these guys were those kids that tormented me daily. Maybe I had some friends after all. However, to my dismay, they had not voted me into their group. Discouraged, hurt, and crying within my heart, I was a broken child. The adult leader in the room decided because of my reaction to call for another vote. So, uplifting my self-esteem to the point that I knew I had it in the bag! Anyhow, if the leader was on my side, how could they repeat no?TO BE CONTINUEDLOVE OFFERINGS ARE WELCOMED AT PAYPALbradwyrick@cox.net AUDIBLE BOOKS BY BRAD WYRICKAUTHOR PAGE AMAZONBuzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!

6 - THE SHORT CUT LIE IS QUID PRO QUO “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour” (1 Peter 5:8).CLICK to viewTRAILER - I AM THE PROMISE KEEPERFALLING HARD IN THE GARDENGOD'S instruction to Adam and Eve was that they could eat any fruit in the Garden of Eden except one. He said: “But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die” (Genesis 2:17).We so often try to assemble something without the owner's manual. Likewise, we try to win a spiritual battle without the armor of God protecting us.  Sadly, prayer becomes the final cry for God's help after first trying all carnal options and worsening the problem through our misguided self-determination!God created everything in the Garden for Adam and Eve to eternally enjoy. However, He gave them one commandment to obey, and they failed by listening to the lies of the serpent. Paraphrased, "don't eat it, or you will die."  The Word precisely says what God said! Eve's main problem was that she had a conversation with Satan in the first place! Scripture states: “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you” (James 4:7-8a).Half-truths, lies, the world, and our old nature, which includes pride and greed are some of the most common strategies Satan uses to tempt us to sin against God. His goal is to keep us from God and eternal life. Reflecting the Image of God by the renewing of our minds is our calling now.We win the battle for control over our mind as we 'put on the whole armor of God.' The helmet of salvation will serve us well as we move forward in our relationship with God. The Apostle Paul writes, "For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds; Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God and bring into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ” (2 Corinthians 10:4-5).LOVE OFFERINGS ARE WELCOMED AT PAYPALbradwyrick@cox.net AUDIBLE BOOKS BY BRAD WYRICKAUTHOR PAGE AMAZONBuzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!

GOD'S ETERNAL PLAN FOR SALVATION"For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God." (Romans 3:23)VIEW: TRAILER – NO ROOM IN THE INNWhen we left Adam and Eve, they were Cast Out of The Garden with their punishments pronounced. They lost the privilege of living in Eden because God drove them out of the garden. The most important thing that Adam and Eve lost was their likeness to their Creator. (Genesis 3:22-24). THE CONSEQUENCES OF THE FALL·         Spiritual Death: Fallen from their Triune Image·         Physical Death: Age becomes a factor·         Sin and Separation: Eternal JudgmentDon't find fault with Adam and Eve, when we so often make the very same choice that they made. We so often choose to fall to the temptations of Satan rather than the warnings of God. He knows that God knows everything, our sins we try to hide, our safe spaces we think He can't find, and blame-shifting is a game He doesn't play.God looks to draw us to obedience through love. Satan seeks to entice us to disobey through lust.The fall came from disobedience to the command of God by the exercising of their free choice. The fall resulted in spiritual death; hence, broken fellowship with the Holy God. The path they took was a one-way path, and there was no opportunity to undo that decision. When we die, there are no Do-Overs! We live or die by the decision we make concerning God. "Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves, slaves, to obey, you are that one's slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death or of obedience leading to righteousness?” (Romans 6:16).LOVE OFFERINGS ARE WELCOMED AT PAYPALbradwyrick@cox.net AUDIBLE BOOKS BY BRAD WYRICKAUTHOR PAGE AMAZONBuzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!
