Grace Touch

In this episode, I briefly discuss the rejection of God by His people at Sinai and the truth that He has ALWAYS invited us all to intimacy with Him. This is a noisy episode recorded while walking outside, and I did that on purpose to illustrate the way our relationship with God happens in the midst of everything else. So, it is noisy and the volume fluctuates (in a manner similar to the way we do not always hear God clearly as we go about our daily lives). That doesn't change the fact that He is always here for us and near us. So, will you accept His invitation to intimacy? Are you in or out?

This first episode of 2023 shines a light on the importance of Oneness with YHWH and on the fact that it is the most important pursuit we can focus on, if we are interested in becoming who we are in Christ.

Dans cet épisode, les questions suivantes sont abordées à la lumière de la Bible : Quelle(s) voix écoutons-nous ? Pourquoi trouvons-nous tellement plus facile de croire le mal que le bien, les mensonges que la vérité ? Pourquoi cédons-nous si facilement notre héritage contre un « bol de lentilles » (remplacez par votre équivalent culturel le plus approprié) ? Recherchons-nous notre héritage, notre destinée, ce pour quoi nous avons été créé.e.s, ce que Dieu a mis en nous et qui peut changer le monde ? Savons-nous seulement ce qu'est notre héritage, notre destinée ? Si non, pourquoi pas (surtout pour ces deux dernières questions) ? Il est impossible pour nous d'essayer de comprendre quel est notre rôle, notre place, notre héritage (spirituel), notre appel, nos responsabilités, nos domaines d'autorité et plus encore, si nous n'entendons pas Dieu. Écoutez cet épisode pour en savoir plus. Photo de Mick Haupt sur Unsplash --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/grace-touch/support

In this episode, the following questions are tackled with insight from the Bible: Whose voice(s) are we listening to? Why do we find it so much easier to believe the bad than the good, the lies than the truth? Why do we so easily trade our inheritance for a “bowl of lentils” (replace with your most appropriate cultural equivalent)? Are we pursuing our inheritance, our destiny, what we were made for, what God has put in us that can change the world? Do we even know what our birthright, our destiny is? If not why not (for those last two questions especially)? Trying to figure out what our role, place, (spiritual) birthrights, calling, mantles, areas of authority and more is impossible if we are not hearing from God. Tune in for more.

Il y a de quoi parler... il y a une cause à défendre... notre monde a besoin de (re)venir à la vie, de se réaligner avec les plans et les projets de YHWH... et la vie et la mort sont au pouvoir de la langue (dit la Bible). Mais peut-être avez-vous parlé et parlé (entre deux périodes de découragement)... peut-être vous demandez-vous parfois si cela fait une différence... Considérez ce premier épisode de 2022 comme un encouragement de ma part à pratiquer de bonnes œuvres !

There is a cause... we have reason to speak... our world needs to come to life, to realign with YHWH's plans and purposes... and life and death are in the power of the tongue (says the Bible). But maybe you have spoken and spoken (between moments of discouragement)... maybe you sometimes wonder if it makes a difference... Think of this first episode of 2022 as a prompt to good works from yours truly!

Lorsqu’on examine ce qui s'est passé entre Abraham, Sarah et Abimélec dans la Genèse, cela nous amène à réfléchir à ce qui est juste, et à la manière dont Dieu fonctionne parfois.

La lecture de l'histoire de Sha'ul ( Saül ) et de la manière dont le Royaume d'Israël lui a été arraché parce qu'il craignait l'homme au lieu d'obéir à Dieu m'amène à réfléchir sur l'état de nos cœurs en ce moment. Je propose que nous tirions parti du confinement et des opportunités que cela crée pour le calme et la réflexion pour tourner pleinement nos cœurs vers Dieu, adopter Sa perspective sur nous et le monde, et Y ALLER/FAIRE SA VOLONTÉ !

Reading the story of Sha'ul (Saul) and how the Kingdom of Israel got torn off him because he feared man instead of obeying God leads me to reflect on the state of our hearts at this time.

Nous connaissons toutes/tous des personnes qui passent leur temps à critiquer tout ce qu’elles voient, ce qu’elles entendent ou ce qu’elles vivent… Se pourrait-il que ces personnes qui ont la critique facile soient en fait des personnes qui ont une aptitude à construire, qui attendent simplement d’être encouragées, invitées à élever leur perspective ? Qui a le courage qu’il faut pour les aider à sortir d’elles-même une solution et non pas seulement une critique ? Et si on enrichissait notre perspective avec quelques exemples de la Bible ?

It’s been roughly 100 years since humanity experienced anything similar in magnitude and gravity to what the world is faced with at this time, the difference being that we have far more technological and medical means to face it. It is not surprising that the Lord would use this time to bring things to a pause and reset us in order to launch us into the new that He’s been planning since the beginning of time. Let’s start this journey of faith together. Photo by Toa Heftiba for Unsplash --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/grace-touch/support

Il y a environ 100 ans que l'humanité n'a pas connu une expérience similaire à celle à laquelle le monde est confronté actuellement, en termes d'ampleur et de gravité, la différence étant que nous disposons de moyens technologiques et médicaux bien plus importants pour y faire face. Il n'est pas surprenant que le Seigneur utilise ce temps pour faire une pause et nous remettre à zéro afin de nous lancer dans la saison nouvelle qu'Il a planifiée depuis le début des temps.
