As a spiritual growth coach, I want to help you grow deeper with Jesus, be His representative and experience all He intends for you.   What is normal Christianity to you? What do you believe about Father God, Jesus and Holy Spirit? What do you believe about yourself and does that align with how God sees you in Christ? What are the works of God?

When we attach ourselves to counterfeit sources of life, we find ourselves sapped of spiritual vitality and separated from God. When we abide in Christ, we live lives of eternal significance, producing spiritual fruit as we are cared for and pruned by a loving Father. Yesterday, Matt Dennings walked through John 15:1-17 on how and why we abide in Christ.---For more resources and information from Anthem Church, visit us at https://www.anthemcolumbia.com/

As you participate in ordinances, strive to keep commandments, and live your covenants, consider that these efforts are opportunities to act in love. — Quotes & Links: Link to FIND HIM New Testament Study Guide:https://www.seagullbook.com/find-him-new-testament-come-follow-me-guidebook.html “Covenants bind us to God. And baptism is the first step on the covenant path. Heaven cheers as you take that first step and all the other steps on the path to come unto Christ. God is pleased with your efforts and offerings. And as you choose to enter the gate, you can hear God say, as He did at the Savior's baptism, that He is well pleased with you (see Mark 1:11, Luke 3:22).” [FIND HIM STUDY GUIDE, p. 9]“During His mortal ministry, Jesus Christ healed the sick and the afflicted, but each person had to exercise faith in Him and act to receive His healing. Some walked for long distances, others extended their hand to touch His garment, and others had to be carried to Him in order to be healed. When it comes to healing, don't we all need Him desperately? “Are we not all beggars?” [2019–O:57, Reyna I. Aburto, Thru Cloud and Sunshine, Lord, Abide with Me!]—Talk of Him is presented by Seagull Book and hosted by Ganel-Lyn Condie and John Fossum.

#212- Fasting / Intermittent and Biblical / Chiropractic Changing the Way Healthcare is Viewed and Managed This popular health radio show has invigorated a community and started a natural healthcare revolution. From the latest trends in holistic living and a view based on what you need to do, not want to do, Dr. Jake brings you crucial information that you have to know. Recent topics have been: Fat doesn't make you fat, the advanced nutrition plan, and intermittent fasting. Transcript notes below.

People all around you are suffering and dying. Not just physically, spiritually. You as I, have probably suffered some trauma the last year or so but more likely 20 years ago. Somebody in here is holding onto something that fruitless but you won't let go. Tonight is a good time to heal from that.  My dad was a slug. I hated him. Then I fasted and God said forgive him. Because my flesh was weak, 11 days into a fast, I spent the last three months with him without judgement. I was diagnosed with Menderes disease, healed after fasting. There is nothing more powerful, but our educated brain wants to say oh that's too simpley To fill the gap in pain,  world creates static by keeping us busy, emails, Facebook, work, news, eating food, extending ourselves beyond our capability. —write down one thing that limits you, that creates static. I need less of that.  It creates a tiny bandaid on our lives, covers up some imperfection, takes away from our purpose. Alcohol does this too. Sugar does. Calling your sister to complain about the same thing or to gossip does the same thing. Constantly having the radio on, avoiding the quiet, does the same thing. Acting like nothing is wrong when you're destroyed on the inside.   It's hard to believe that But you will never find yourself until you lose yourself, sometimes your heart needs to be broken to understand your smallness and gods bigness.    I believe that anything great that you do will be outside of your comfort zone and in faithfulness.  Certainty is the opposite of faith.  Your uncertainty should lead you to the answer that you are not the answer and do not have all the answers.  God is not a genie, but he has every answer you'll ever need.  You can't just stay at the surface and expect God to move, not if you want to see big changes in your life. I believe that a lot of what we deal with is a heart issue. a hurt issue. a hurt that isolating yourself from your holy father only creates more hurt. Maybe it isn't hurt, its confusion, you don't know why you do what you do and sometimes even what the heck are you doing and supposed to be doing What are u going to lose this year and replace with something good? Who are you? - a small description whose are you? - a small description What breaks your heart? - what would you change if you knew you had no barriers What is fasting?  Removing something that is not as important for something more important. Facebook, Twitter, TV, email, food, relationships,drugs It's not letting the necessities of life overrule the priorities of life Fasting benefits What are the health benefits of fasting? Weight loss, lower cholesterol levels, promotes growth hormone production which burns fat and builds muscle and slows the aging process, help regulate blood sugar which in turn will decrease inflammation and it's slows down and reversed some of the aging process.  You're going to detox your mind and your body.  So What does it mean to have Toxins in your body? Toxins accumulate through eating processed or fast foods, all the colors, preservatives that we eat get hidden deep into our tissue and fat.  It's toxic thoughts too, things you have been told or told to yourself and set anchor with you life on. This is all you'll ever be or have, you should could wouoda,  you'll never be this…..I hate him or her, and thoughts like I'll never forgive that person How do you get rid of toxins? You pray and fast  What are the risks? Dehydration is the first thing so make sure you are drinking water and lots of it. Blood sugar levels will drop, you may not be diabetic after this.  Lmnt salt packs What should people expect to happen to their bodies when they fast? Lose weight, eventually feel great, clearer mind after the first few days.  The motive of biblical fasting is, "I'm hungry for God. What I need is God. What I want is God. Who I need to be around is God." It's that angst you read about in the Psalms so often. "As the deer pants for the water, so my soul longs for you. When am I going to meet with God? When can I be in the presence of God? How long, O Lord, will you forsake me?" Fasting is a hunger for God that transcends and trumps other hungers in our lives. It's that moment when we go, "I'm using this time I normally set aside to eat to press into God and to pray and seek his face. I'm going to take this time I normally watch television and I'm going to press into God and I'm going to pray. I'm going to take this time I normally do this and I'm going to press into God and pray." Faith is a garden, and everyday I have to work on it or it will die and I on the inside will die God plants and seed and then treats it like a gardener. Are you willing to be tilled soil in order to grow and change? Jesus is the root, and growth happens in the dirt.  God isn't a genie, embrace the process, embrace the mundane embrace the same. Gardner may come day after day and see nothing, does that mean quit? Does that mean something new isn't growing? It takes time to see a sprout.  The word  Well watered vine dryed out cactus Trellis trellis (treillage) is an architectural structure, usually made from an open framework or lattice of interwoven or intersecting pieces of wood, bamboo or metal that is normally made to support and display climbing plants.   Vine any plant having a long, slender stem that trails and climbs by winding itself about a support or holding fast with tendrils or claspers.   At first glance, the vine is abundantly healthy. It's leaves bright green and the stems full of juicy chlorophyll and oxygen. There is no brown, no signs of decay except for the lighter green, almost yellow tips of the leaves just outside of the trellis that it lays upon.   On further inspection, the trellis, though still brightly painted from years ago, has started to warp and fray on its ends, leaving rotten wood and bugs creeping into its interior. Due to the exceeding decay, the vine has taken on the damage and can no longer grow to its expected heights. And while the vine is the main subject, the one that moves people by its beauty and mystery, the trellis is needed just as much to hold up the wonderful vine so that all can see. Are you willing to work on your trellis? The parts that people don't see?  Matthew 4- Jesus goes into the wilderness, fasting for 40 days the. Satan comes into the picture and tempts him with worldly things, with bread. Then afterward, as Jesus returns, his very first sermon and teaching involves Matthew 6 Detox Matthew 6:16-18 ESV "And when you fast, do not look gloomy like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces that their fasting may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, that your fasting may not be seen by others but by your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.   Biblical Examples of fasting: • Moses 40 day fast before God gave him the 10 Commandments. Elijah fasted 40 days, Jesus fasted 40 days. • Esther called for the city to fast for 3 days and God spared them from the evil plot of Haman. • Hannah was depressed because she couldn't have a baby so she fasted in 1 Samuel and God heard her prayer and soon Samuel was born. • Judah, Ezra, Daniel, the people of Ninevah, Nehemiah, David, Anna, Paul, Peter all fasted in the Bible.   But beware: the Bible says    1 "Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven. 2 "Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. 3 But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4 so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you. 5 "And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. 6 But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you. 7 "And when you pray, do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do, for they think that they will be heard for their many words. 8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him. 9 Pray then like this: "Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name.  10 Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.  11 Give us this day our daily bread,  12 and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.  13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.  14 For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, 15 but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. 16 "And when you fast, do not look gloomy like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces that their fasting may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. 17 But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, 18 that your fasting may not be seen by others but by your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you. 19 "Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, 20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. 22 "The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light, 23 but if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness! 24 "No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money. 25 "Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? - Matthew 6:1-26 How long do I fast?   Length • Joshua fasted 40 days • Daniel fasted 21 days from bread and meat and wine • Peter fasted 3 days   What happens when we fast?   God is about to spiritually body slam you...in a good way. Be excited. You will be healthier.    We begin to pursue God in a more intense way, our prayer life becomes more serious, our prayers become more specific.    Voice of God becomes clearer.   Repentance and recovery will occur.    Mourning loss of the person that we just lost and God fills your heart.   You let him know you are seeking him.   Your senses for the things of heaven heighten.    The static of the world will darken. John 15:1-4 ESV "I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. Already you are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me.   *This content is strictly the opinion of Dr. Jake Parrish and is for informational and educational purposes only.

God is the epitome of light. There is no shifting shadow or darkness in Him at all. As believers we are called to walk in the light and turn from darkness. How can we do so as we walk through a world permeated with darkness? How can we battle the darkness of our sin nature? Join us for session two as we examine how to engage this fight and allow His Word to aid us in walking in the Light.Verses Used:1 John 1:5-10Ephesians 5:8-11Ephesians 5:13Psalm 119:105Psalm 91:8Discussion Questions:1. What does the Bible mean when it uses “light” and “darkness” to describe spiritual things?2. The Bible says that there is no darkness in God.  What does this mean? Why does it matter that we know and understand this?  How does this impact His dealings with us?3. What prevents people from coming to the Light? Why is it difficult for the heart of man to turn away from darkness? (See John 3:19-20)4. Light exposes darkness.  What does this mean for us in our lives and how should this impact how we live?5. Light illuminates darkness. What does this mean and why is this important to us when the path upon which we walk seems confusing?

As you go about in any sort of ministry capacity, sharing the Gospel, witnessing, any occasion when you are reaching out and bringing people to Jesus, what do you do with the inevitable rejection? The Word of God gives us answers for this. Abiding in Christ is absolutely critical as you do any evangelistic work. Jesus is the foundation for everything. John 15:1-8I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.The Redeeming Love Bible Broadcast is a ministry of Grace Baptist Tabernacle.

Have you ever wished for things to look different in your life, but gone back to doing the same old things you've always done? We've all been there… many times over.The things we do in life always do something to us. If we look at our habits, we can often guess what our future will look like, and the question stands: Are we doing things that will lead to the life we want?There is a concept called The Rule of Life. We all have a rule of life, whether we know it or not, and as Christians, here is what that should look like: an intentional, conscious plan to keep God at the center of our lives. Here's why:In John 15 we are reminded through the words of Jesus that we are to abide in Him, because apart from Him, we can do nothing. Without our central focus on abiding with and knowing Jesus deeply, nothing else we do or accomplish matters in the long run. The habits we create impact who we are and who we're becoming. What is your rule of life?Support the show

This is a devotional taken from "Daily Devotions from the Psalms" written by Rev. John Heys and published by the Reformed Book Outlet in Hudsonville, Michigan.

Morning: Luke 11:2; John 3:35; John 10:30; John 14:8–10; John 14:28; John 14:31; John 15:9–10; John 17:2; John 20:17 “For the Father is greater than I.” “When you pray, say: Father, hallowed be your name.”—“To my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.” “But I do as the Father has commanded me.”—“The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own authority, but the Father who dwells in me does his works.” The Father loves the Son and has given all things into his hand.—“You have given him authority over all flesh, to give eternal life to all whom you have given him.” Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.” Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father'? Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me?”—“I and the Father are one.”—“As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love.” Luke 11:2 (Listen) 2 And he said to them, “When you pray, say:   “Father, hallowed be your name.  Your kingdom come. (ESV) John 3:35 (Listen) 35 The Father loves the Son and has given all things into his hand. (ESV) John 10:30 (Listen) 30 I and the Father are one.” (ESV) John 14:8–10 (Listen) 8 Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.” 9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father'? 10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own authority, but the Father who dwells in me does his works. (ESV) John 14:28 (Listen) 28 You heard me say to you, ‘I am going away, and I will come to you.' If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I. (ESV) John 14:31 (Listen) 31 but I do as the Father has commanded me, so that the world may know that I love the Father. Rise, let us go from here. (ESV) John 15:9–10 (Listen) 9 As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love. 10 If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love. (ESV) John 17:2 (Listen) 2 since you have given him authority over all flesh, to give eternal life to all whom you have given him. (ESV) John 20:17 (Listen) 17 Jesus said to her, “Do not cling to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to my brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.'” (ESV) Evening: Genesis 3:15; Isaiah 52:14; Isaiah 53:5; Matthew 28:18; Mark 1:34; Mark 16:17; Luke 22:53; John 19:11; Romans 16:20; 1 John 3:8 “[The woman's seed] shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel.” His appearance was so marred, beyond human semblance, and his form beyond that of the children of mankind.—But he was wounded for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his stripes we are healed.—“But this is your hour, and the power of darkness.”—“You would have no authority over me at all unless it had been given you from above.” The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil.—And he… cast out many demons. And he would not permit the demons to speak, because they knew him. “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.”—“In my name they will cast out demons.” The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. Genesis 3:15 (Listen) 15   I will put enmity between you and the woman,    and between your offspring1 and her offspring;  he shall bruise your head,    and you shall bruise his heel.” Footnotes [1] 3:15 Hebrew seed; so throughout Genesis (ESV) Isaiah 52:14 (Listen) 14   As many were astonished at you—    his appearance was so marred, beyond human semblance,    and his form beyond that of the children of mankind— (ESV) Isaiah 53:5 (Listen) 5   But he was pierced for our transgressions;    he was crushed for our iniquities;  upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace,    and with his wounds we are healed. (ESV) Matthew 28:18 (Listen) 18 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. (ESV) Mark 1:34 (Listen) 34 And he healed many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons. And he would not permit the demons to speak, because they knew him. (ESV) Mark 16:17 (Listen) 17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues; (ESV) Luke 22:53 (Listen) 53 When I was with you day after day in the temple, you did not lay hands on me. But this is your hour, and the power of darkness.” (ESV) John 19:11 (Listen) 11 Jesus answered him, “You would have no authority over me at all unless it had been given you from above. Therefore he who delivered me over to you has the greater sin.” (ESV) Romans 16:20 (Listen) 20 The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. (ESV) 1 John 3:8 (Listen) 8 Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil. (ESV)
