I. Core Concepts of God's Nature God as "Abba Father": Meaning of "Abba": A Hebrew word meaning "daddy," signifying an intimate and close relationship. Biblical Basis: Romans 8:14-16 and Galatians. Implications for Relationship: God does not withhold good things or do evil against His children. It implies full adoption rights, including the same inheritance as Jesus (co-heirs with Christ). Contrast with Human Perspective: The concept challenges traditional views of God as distant or formal. God is Love (Agape): Definition of Agape Love: Unconditional, independent of human actions, unmerited, and undeserved. Biblical Basis: 1 John 4:16 ("God is love"), John 3:16 ("For God so loved the world..."). Intensity of God's Love: Emphasized by the word "so" in John 3:16, leading to the ultimate sacrifice of His only begotten Son. "World" in John 3:16: Refers to the people of the world, not just the planet. Eternal Life (Zoe): Defined in John 17 as knowing God the Father and Jesus Christ. It is a person, not just a concept or a place. God's Love in the Old Testament vs. New Testament: Old Testament Context: Shema (Deuteronomy 6:4-5): "O Israel, the Lord our God is one." The word "one" (echad) is a "uni-plural" word, implying a unified plurality (like "group" or "herd"), which the Jewish people often misunderstood as a strict singular, creating an obstacle to seeing Jesus as Son of God. Greatest Commandment: Love the Lord with all heart, soul, and strength. No one could perfectly keep this, highlighting the need for a Savior. Purpose of the Law: To make people conscious of sin and point them to a Savior (Romans 3:20, Law as a schoolmaster). Perception of God: Portrayed with anger and wrath (e.g., Flood, Sodom & Gomorrah, deaths under the Law). New Testament Context: New Commandment (John 13): Love one another as Jesus loved us (demonstrated through servant leadership like foot-washing). This supersedes the Old Testament law. Love as an Action Word: Not merely a feeling, but something demonstrated and done (e.g., Timothy caring for others in Philippians 2:20-21). Impact of Love: Fulfills the law (Romans 13:8), covers/obliterates a multitude of sins (1 Peter 4:8), and drives out fear (1 John 4:18). The Finished Work of Christ: Jesus absorbed all God's wrath and judgment on the cross (John 12, Isaiah 53-54). God promises never to be angry with His people again (Isaiah 54). God's Provision: Everything needed for life and godliness is already provided (2 Peter 1). Faith receives what God has already provided, it doesn't move God. God's Nature in the New Covenant: God does not cause sickness, disease, or natural disasters; these are not "acts of God" in the sense of divine judgment against His children. He is for us, not against us (Romans 8). II. The Power and Practicality of God's Love Love Fulfills the Law and Covers Sin: Romans 13:8: Love fulfills the law, meaning there is no law against one who lives in love. 1 Peter 4:8: Love covers/obliterates a multitude of sins – God "remembers your sins no more" (Hebrews 8:12). God's Perception of Believers: Sees them as perfect, complete, lacking nothing through Christ. Love Drives Out Fear: 1 John 4:18: "Perfect love casts out fear because fear involves torment." Receiving God's Perfect Love: As we receive His love, fear and anxiety are dispelled. Overcoming Fear: Through active participation (singing songs of deliverance, asking in faith). Perspective on Demons: They are powerless "maggots" that can deceive but not defeat. Our Identity and Acceptance in Christ: Accepted in the Beloved (Ephesians 1:6): The Greek word "charito" (highly favored/blessed) is applied to believers, just as it was to Mary. We are "the Beloved." Ephesians' Emphasis: Shows our identity, how we are blessed, forgiven, redeemed, sealed with the Holy Spirit, and seated with Christ in heavenly places. Knowing God's Love: It surpasses knowledge; it's an experience in the heart, not just a mental concept. Love Compels Our Actions: 2 Corinthians 5: The love of Christ compels us; our lives are no longer our own. Motives for Action: Not for personal gain, financial benefit, or praise of men, but out of care for others (like Timothy). Parable of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15): A profound picture of the Father's unconditional love, compassion, eagerness to forgive, and restoration. The father ran, embraced (epipto – a bear hug), kissed (continuously), restored (ring, robe, sandals), and celebrated. He would not let the son even finish his repentant speech. Love is Preeminent: 1 John 4:19: "We love because he first loved us." God initiated the relationship. God's Foreknowledge and Orchestration: God knows who will choose Him and orchestrates their lives from the womb (Psalm 139). Goal: Discipleship: God's goal is to make disciples who can operate in His love and bless others (like the good ground in the parable of the sower). Remembering God's Interventions: Keep a "book of remembrance" of how God has supernaturally intersected your life. The Greatest of These is Love: While faith and hope are important, love is eternal and central to God's defining characteristic. How Love is Expressed (Fruit of the Spirit - Galatians 5:22-23): Joy in the Lord, Peace, Longsuffering (Patience), Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, Self-control. Gentleness: A gentle answer turns away wrath. Self-Control: Speaking life, controlling appetites. Love Surpasses Understanding: Ephesians 3: God's love has immeasurable width, length, depth, and height, surpassing all knowledge. It is infinite in all directions, as is His forgiveness. Being Filled with the Fullness of God: Living out of our spirit, allowing the Holy Spirit within us to flow out in supernatural ways (healing, deliverance). Our Perfection in Christ: Our spirit is perfected the moment we are born again; sin cannot penetrate it (Hebrews 10:14, 1 John 3:9). This perfection is our witness to the world. God as Our Daddy: 1 John 3:1: "Behold what manner of love the Father (Abba) has bestowed upon us, that we should be called children of God." Receiving His Love: It is a gift to be received. II. Quiz What is the significance of the word "Abba" in understanding our relationship with God, and where in Scripture is it primarily found? Explain the concept of "agape" love as described in the source material. How does it differ from a conditional or earned love? How does the speaker differentiate the meaning of the word "world" in John 3:16, and what does he say eternal life (Zoe) truly means according to John 17? According to the source, what was the primary obstacle for Jewish people in the Old Testament to recognizing Jesus as the Son of God, related to their understanding of the Shema? What was the ultimate purpose of the Old Testament Law, and how did it demonstrate humanity's need for a Savior? Describe how Jesus's "new commandment" in John 13 supersedes the Old Testament law, and what specific action did Jesus perform to demonstrate this new commandment? How does the "finished work of Christ" change the perception of God's wrath and anger, particularly in relation to natural disasters? Explain the concept of "faith" as receiving what God has already provided. How does this differ from the idea of "moving God" through prayer or other actions? According to the source, how does God perceive believers after they accept Christ, and what happens to their past sins? Describe at least three actions of the father in the parable of the Prodigal Son that illustrate God's unconditional love and forgiveness. III. Quiz Answer Key "Abba" is a Hebrew word meaning "daddy," signifying an intimate and close relationship with God. It is primarily found in Romans 8:14-16 and Galatians, emphasizing that we have received a spirit of adoption, allowing us to cry out "Abba, Father." "Agape" love is described as unconditional, independent of human actions, unmerited, and undeserved favor of God. It means that we don't have to do anything to receive it; it is freely given once we become His child. The speaker states that the word "world" in John 3:16 refers to the people of the world, not just the planet. Eternal life (Zoe) is defined in John 17 as a person: knowing God the Father and Jesus whom He sent. The primary obstacle was their misunderstanding of the Hebrew word "echad" (one) in the Shema (Deuteronomy 6:4). While a singular word, it has a plural meaning (like "group" or "herd"), but they interpreted it as strictly singular, preventing them from seeing Jesus as the Son of God. The Old Testament Law's purpose was to make people conscious of their sin (Romans 3:20) and to point them to a Savior. Its impossible standards, such as being perfect as God is perfect, demonstrated that no one could keep it, highlighting the universal need for a redeemer. Jesus's "new commandment" in John 13, "love one another as I have loved you," supersedes the Old Testament law, including the Ten Commandments. He demonstrated this by washing His disciples' feet, showing what it meant to be a servant and to love others through action. The "finished work of Christ" means that Jesus absorbed all God's wrath, anger, and judgment on the cross once and for all time. Therefore, God is no longer angry with His people and does not cause sickness, disease, or natural disasters as a form of judgment. Faith, in this context, is described as simply receiving what God has already provided for us through the finished work of Christ. It differs from "moving God" because God has already moved and provided everything; faith is our act of reaching out and taking hold of what is already available. God perceives believers as perfect, complete, and lacking nothing, through Christ. Their past sins are not remembered by God; they are "covered by the blood of Christ" and "obliterated," as if God has no recollection of them. Three actions of the father in the Prodigal Son parable illustrating God's love are: (1) He saw his son "still a great way off" and had compassion, running to meet him; (2) He "fell on his neck" (gave him a bear hug) and began continuously kissing him, not allowing him to complete his repentant speech; and (3) He immediately restored his son with a ring, cloak, and sandals, and celebrated his return, refusing to treat him as a servant. IV. Essay Format Questions Discuss the speaker's emphasis on God's love being "multifaceted" and "like a mosaic." How does this perspective challenge a "one-dimensional" understanding of God, and what are the practical implications for believers? Compare and contrast the Old Testament and New Testament portrayals of God, focusing specifically on the concept of God's wrath and judgment versus His unconditional love. How does the "finished work of Christ" serve as the turning point in this theological understanding? Analyze the role of "love as an action word" in the Christian life, drawing on examples from the source material such as Timothy's character and Jesus's "new commandment." How does this active love relate to fulfilling the law and addressing sin and fear? The speaker states that God's love "surpasses knowledge" and is an experience of the heart. Explain what this means in terms of intellectual understanding versus spiritual reception. How does this concept connect with the idea of being "accepted in the beloved" and filled with the "fullness of God"? Examine the speaker's discussion on the nature of faith as "receiving what God has already provided." How does this understanding impact a believer's approach to prayer, healing, and general reliance on God, and what common misconceptions about God's responsiveness does it challenge? V. Glossary of Key Terms Abba: A Hebrew word meaning "daddy" or "father," used to denote an intimate, affectionate, and close relationship with God. Agape: A Greek word for unconditional, selfless, and benevolent love, often used to describe God's love for humanity. Charito (Accepted in the Beloved): A Greek word meaning "highly favored" or "blessed," used in Ephesians 1:6 to describe believers' status in Christ and also used by Gabriel to Mary. Discipleship: The process of becoming a follower of Jesus Christ, mimicking His character and putting faith into action, going beyond simply being a "believer." Echad: A Hebrew word for "one," which in the context of the Shema (Deuteronomy 6:4) implies a "uni-plural" unity (like a group or herd), rather than a strict singular, which the speaker argues was misunderstood by some Jewish people. Epipto: A Greek word meaning "fell on" or "embraced," used in the parable of the Prodigal Son to describe the father's bear hug and in Acts to describe the Holy Spirit "falling upon" believers. Finished Work of Christ: Refers to the complete and perfect salvation achieved by Jesus Christ's death and resurrection on the cross, through which all of God's wrath and judgment for sin were absorbed. Law (Old Testament): The Mosaic Law given to Israel, which, according to the speaker, served to make people conscious of sin and point them to a Savior, rather than being a means of salvation itself. New Commandment: Jesus's command to "love one another as I have loved you" (John 13), presented as superseding and fulfilling the Old Testament Law. Perfect Love: Refers to God's flawless and complete love, which, when received by believers, has the power to drive out all fear. Portrait of God: The speaker's method of presenting God's multifaceted nature, similar to assembling pieces of a mosaic, to provide a comprehensive understanding beyond simple definitions. Prodigal Son: A parable from Luke 15 used by the speaker to illustrate the Father's unconditional love, compassion, forgiveness, and restoration towards those who return to Him. Royal Law of Love: A New Testament principle emphasizing love as the guiding law for believers, fulfilling all other laws. Zoe (Eternal Life): A Greek word for eternal life, which John 17 defines not as a concept or a place, but as a person: knowing God the Father and Jesus Christ.

“The Fullness of the Spirit”Ephesians 5:181) The Defenition of Being Filled 2) The Demand to Be Filled3) The Design for Being FIlled A. Thirst B. Trust4) The Disaster of not Being Filled
Today, we delved into the topic of demons and their influence, particularly focusing on the story of the man possessed by a legion of demons in Mark 5. We explored the Greek term for demon, which translates to "demonized," meaning to be affected or influenced by demons. This influence is not limited to non-believers; even Christians can give place to the devil through disobedience and sin. We examined various scriptures, including Ephesians 2:2 and Acts 5, to understand how disobedience opens doors for demonic influence. The story of Ananias and Sapphira in Acts 5 serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of lying to God and how it can fill our hearts with the enemy. We also discussed the importance of not giving place to the devil, as mentioned in Ephesians 4:27. Christians need to be vigilant and consistent in their walk with God to avoid fulfilling the lusts of the flesh, as stated in Galatians 5:16-17. We emphasized that while a born-again Christian's spirit is regenerated and cannot be possessed by evil spirits, their mind, will, and emotions can still be affected. Therefore, it is crucial to walk in the Spirit consistently. The story of the man in the tombs, who was possessed by a legion of demons, illustrates the destructive power of evil spirits but also highlights Jesus' authority over them. When Jesus cast the demons into a herd of pigs, it demonstrated His power to set people free from demonic influence. We concluded by reminding everyone that Jesus has the final say over any chaos or destruction in our lives. No matter how severe the situation, Jesus' authority and power can bring deliverance and peace. We need to continually seek the Holy Spirit's filling and submit ourselves to God to resist the devil effectively. ### Key Takeaways 1. **Disobedience Opens Doors to Demonic Influence**: Disobedience to God gives evil spirits the right to influence and work within us. Ephesians 2:2 and Acts 5 illustrate how even church members can fall prey to demonic influence through disobedience and lying to God. It's crucial to live in obedience to close these doors. [01:46] 2. **Christians Can Be Affected by Demons**: While a born-again Christian's spirit is regenerated and cannot be possessed, their mind, will, and emotions can still be affected by evil spirits. Walking in the Spirit consistently, as stated in Galatians 5:16-17, helps us avoid fulfilling the lusts of the flesh and keeps us protected. [07:35] 3. **The Power of Consistent Faith**: Persistent faith in God and knowledge of the truth are essential for spiritual growth and protection. James 4:7 teaches that submitting to God and resisting the devil will make him flee. This requires a continuous, not sporadic, commitment to God. [11:50] 4. **Jesus' Authority Over Evil Spirits**: The story of the man possessed by a legion of demons in Mark 5 demonstrates Jesus' authority over all spirit beings. Even the most chaotic and destructive spirits must bow to Jesus. This story reassures us that no matter how severe our situation, Jesus has the power to bring deliverance. [35:27] 5. **The Importance of Being Filled with the Holy Spirit**: Continuously seeking to be filled with the Holy Spirit is vital for maintaining spiritual health and protection. Ephesians 4:30 warns against grieving the Holy Spirit, emphasizing the need for a constant, deep relationship with God to keep demonic influences at bay.

Ephesians 5:18-21 "Being Filled with the Spirit" Pastor Wes Holland
Welcome to The Power Of God's Whisper Podcast, where we delve into the depths of God's Word to uncover the profound truths that guide us as spiritual warriors. Today, we focus on Isaiah 42:1, a powerful prophecy often attributed to Jesus Christ, and explore how it speaks to our role in God's plan for justice.Scripture: Isaiah 42:1 "Here is my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen one in whom I delight; I will put my Spirit on him, and he will bring justice to the nations."Isaiah 42:1 presents a compelling image of a servant chosen and upheld by God, filled with the Spirit, and tasked with bringing justice. While this is a prophecy pointing to Jesus, it also resonates with us as followers of Christ. We are called to be servants who carry out God's justice in a world rife with injustice. Upheld by God's strength and guided by His Spirit, we are instrumental in manifesting His righteousness on Earth.Focus Training (2 minutes):* Embrace Your Identity as God's Servant: Reflect on what it means to be chosen and upheld by God. For two minutes, ponder how being God's servant influences your daily actions, decisions, and interactions with others. Are you living out this identity?* Being Filled with the Spirit: Contemplate the significance of the Spirit's presence in your life. How does the Holy Spirit guide you in your quest for justice? Think about recent instances where you felt led by the Spirit to act justly or address injustice.* Actively Pursuing Justice: Consider what justice looks like in your context. For two minutes, brainstorm practical ways you can be an agent of God's justice in your community. Is there a particular cause or issue God is calling you to address?Conclusion:Isaiah 42:1 is not just a prophecy about Christ; it's a template for our lives as His followers. We are called to be God's servants, infused with His Spirit, actively working towards justice in our spheres of influence. This call is not for the faint-hearted; it requires courage, humility, and a deep reliance on God.Call to Action:This week, take a step towards fulfilling your role as God's servant. Identify an area in your community where injustice prevails and ask God how you can be a force for change. Let the Holy Spirit guide your actions as you seek to bring God's justice to the world around you.Question of the Day:What specific action can you take this week to bring justice in your community or workplace?Prayer: Let's Pray:Dear Lord, thank You for calling us to be Your servants, for upholding us, and filling us with Your Spirit.

Paul Prays a Big Prayer • • •Ephesians 3:14-21 ESV14 For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, 15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, 16 that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, 19 and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. 20 Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen. • • •The Spirit's Power Within You • • •Ezekiel 36:22-37 ESV22 “Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord God: It is not for your sake, O house of Israel, that I am about to act, but for the sake of my holy name, which you have profaned among the nations to which you came. 23 And I will vindicate the holiness of my great name, which has been profaned among the nations, and which you have profaned among them. And the nations will know that I am the Lord, declares the Lord God, when through you I vindicate my holiness before their eyes. 24 I will take you from the nations and gather you from all the countries and bring you into your own land. 25 I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean from all your uncleannesses, and from all your idols I will cleanse you. 26 And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. 27 And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes and be careful to obey my rules. 28 You shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers, and you shall be my people, and I will be your God. 29 And I will deliver you from all your uncleannesses. And I will summon the grain and make it abundant and lay no famine upon you. 30 I will make the fruit of the tree and the increase of the field abundant, that you may never again suffer the disgrace of famine among the nations. 31 Then you will remember your evil ways, and your deeds that were not good, and you will loathe yourselves for your iniquities and your abominations. 32 It is not for your sake that I will act, declares the Lord God; let that be known to you. Be ashamed and confounded for your ways, O house of Israel. 33 “Thus says the Lord God: On the day that I cleanse you from all your iniquities, I will cause the cities to be inhabited, and the waste places shall be rebuilt. 34 And the land that was desolate shall be tilled, instead of being the desolation that it was in the sight of all who passed by. 35 And they will say, ‘This land that was desolate has become like the garden of Eden, and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are now fortified and inhabited.' 36 Then the nations that are left all around you shall know that I am the Lord; I have rebuilt the ruined places and replanted that which was desolate. I am the Lord; I have spoken, and I will do it. 37 “Thus says the Lord God: This also I will let the house of Israel ask me to do for them: to increase their people like a flock. • • •Galatians 5:25 ESV25 If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit. • • •Comprehend the Dimensions of God's Love • • •1 Corinthians 12:4-7 ESV4 Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; 5 and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord; 6 and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who empowers them all in everyone. 7 To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. • • •Experience the Love of God • • •John 10:14-15 ESV14 I am the good shepherd.

Being Filled with the Spirit
Love is the measure of who we are (1Corinthians 13:2,3,8,13, Matthew 20:26). Although feelings, decisions, thoughtfulness are manifestations of love, they are not the ESSENCE of LOVE, which is SPIRITUAL, coming from the Presence of God in us, for God is love, and all love is of God (1John 4:7,8,16), and the fruit of the Spirit is love (Galatians 5:22). God is the Source of love and He pours His love it into our hearts through the Holy Spirit (Romans 5:5). This then empowers us to think loving thoughts and making the decision to act in love. We cannot generate love from our own soul, for it comes from the Spirit of God (Matthew 5:3). In our soul, we must believe in and receive the love that He gives us, and surrender to His Love as He pours into our hearts, and yield to it in our lives (obedience). This is our soul aligning to the Love of God that comes from the Spirit. How much you know God (through your fellowship with Him) determines how much you are connected to the Source of Love, which determines how much love you can express in your life. We GROW in LOVE by (1) RECEIVING His LOVE into our heart by faith, and then (2) RELEASING His love through our words and actions. First, we must PRAY and ask God to FILL our HEART with His LOVE. The classic PRAYER to be FILLED with the LOVE of God is Ephesians 3:14-19, which Derek expounds. God wants us to comprehend, receive and experience: "(1) the WIDTH (John 3:16) and (2) LENGTH (Jeremiah 31:3) and (3) DEPTH and (4) HEIGHT of the LOVE of CHRIST, which passes knowledge (it does not come from your mind, but from the Spirit)." In this way, we "may be filled with all the fullness of God (who is love).” God is ready to fill us with Himself abundantly above all that we ask or think, through the power of the Holy Spirit who is working within us, but He is limited by our (1) THINKING and (2) ASKING, so we need to (1) meditate on His Word and pray for more revelation of the 4 dimensions of His love, and (2) come to Him in confident faith and lay hold of His love, with which He wants to fill our hearts (Ephesians 3:20). God's ultimate purpose is that He would be glorified through His Church; that is, through our union with CHRIST, the GLORY of GOD (the manifestation of His LOVE) would shine through us by the power of the indwelling HOLY SPIRIT, to the glory of GOD, the FATHER (Ephesians 3:21).

Most believers desire to know God's will. We pray day and night asking God to show us his will when we have hard decisions to make or don't know what our next step should be. Is this how God's will should be understood? Join me in this episode as we discuss knowing God's will and the role that the Holy Spirit plays in our lives.

Being Filled with the Holy Spirit
"Being Filled with the Fullness of God" from Pastor Chuck De Cleene
3 Evidences of Being Filled by the Holy Spirit Ephesians 5:18-21 1. Singing (vs. 19) 2. Saying Thanks (vs. 20) 3. Submitting Relationally to God & Others (vs.21) Colossians 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. When Peter was in the Presence of Christ He did the miraculous. Matthew 14:22-33 He said the miraculous. Matthew 16:16 He was miraculously bold. Mark 14:47 When Peter was controlled by the Holy Spirit He did the miraculous. Acts 3:11 He said the miraculous. Acts 2.14 He was miraculous bold. Acts 5:29
Pastor Garry Clark continues his series called “GET UP!” It's focus is on getting up after being knocked down! In this message we'll see the difference between feelings and being filled!
Being Filled with the Spirit
Being Filled with Hope! "There we sat down by the rivers of Babylon, yea, and we wept When we remembered Zion." Psalm 137:1 There are times when we feel down, lost, and without hope in all of our lives. We may be going through a tough time or experiencing a great loss. It can be hard to find any light in the darkness. But even amid our lowest moments, we can find hope in God. When we are filled with hope in Him, He will bring us back to life; He will turn our mourning into joy. That's why Jeremiah 29:11 says, "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope." The book of Psalms is full of songs of hope and praise to God. Psalm 137 is a song of lament written by the Israelites after being captured and taken to Babylon. Despite their difficult circumstances, the Israelites found hope in God. They reminded themselves that God was still with them even though they were in a foreign land. They could still find joy in Him, even amid their sorrow. The psalmist finds hope in God amid great despair. This hope is based on God's faithfulness and love. We too can find hope in difficult times by turning to God. Isaiah 40:31 says, "But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint." If that God, whom we serve can deliver in the worst-case scenario; if there is nothing you remember about God's faithfulness to deliver, and you remember a story like Lazarus, where his sisters who happen to be Mary and Martha, were crying and lamenting that Jesus came late. The corpse is getting decomposed, yet God proved himself in the situation. So why are you cast down and filled with sorrows from your setbacks, and why do you think your wrong cannot be righted, this is a word from the living God that he is there with you in your situation and the right time has come for him to deliver you. No matter what you are going through, you can find hope in God. He is always with you, no matter what. He is a God of compassion and mercy, and He will never leave you alone. You can find hope in His promises, and you can trust that He will bring good out of even the worst situations. When you are feeling down, it can be helpful to read God's word and be reminded of God's faithfulness. Pray for God's guidance and for His presence to comfort you in your time of need. Psalm 137 reminds us that we can find hope in God even in our darkest moments. Praise God forevermore. Romans 5:5 says, "Hope does not put us to shame because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us." Prayer Praise be to God for his miraculous deeds and wondrous works in my life. Dear Holy Spirit, make me filled with hope in God that he will never fail his promises concerning me. Psalm 126:5: I pray that anywhere you have sowed in tears, you will surely reap with joy in Jesus' name. Amen. https://youtu.be/L4xiGSqPIjo https://maglife.org --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/divine-ojelade/support

Being Filled with the Holy Ghost
Being Filled with the Holy Spirit // Stuart Browning // 17.10.21 by Holy Trinity Church
Philippians 1:11 - The Christian life is all about our relationship with Christ and embracing the power God has given us. From the moment we accept Jesus, God is teaching us to turn or affection to HIM and live in relationship with HIM in HIS power. This also means having the power to persevere in suffering through extreme difficulties for HIS sake and purpose. Living out this relationship requires us to be Filled with HIS presence. Ephesians says, “Be Filled with the Holy Spirit.” Being filled with Christ mean the same thing. The word “Filled” means to be full to the exclusion of any other influence. Being Filled with Christ will produce righteous acts that flow from within us. Thus, the fruit of Righteousness is Christ behaving in us.
The Necessity of Being Filled with the Spirit- Welcome to the Shan Kikon Audio Podcast. Here you will find sermons to instruct, establish, equip and release you to fulfil your full potential in Christ.
As the deer pants… 1/ Emptiness and God's people 2/ Believing in God when you're feeling empty When experience assumes precedence over creed, we don't feel much like worshipping. Walking by sight is always deleterious to walking by faith. The Psalms direct us to factor God into current situations; true religion is always relevant to life. It is good in worship to dwell on God's faithfulness and the sensibility of trusting Him regardless. Praising God tends to put everything else in proper perspective, even life. – Michael Barrett, “The Beauty of Holiness,” 2006. 3/ Being Filled by God

Being Filled with the Holy Spirit and Seeking God's Will Should Be Jesus Followers' Focus During Their Limited Time on Earth MESSAGE SUMMARY: If you believe that Christianity is just a bunch of rules and laws for you (all of which you cannot keep!), then you really do not know what Christianity is all about. Jesus Followers are filled with the Holy Spirit. All of us are filled with something. With what are you filled? The Apostle Peter, in 1 Peter 4:5-6, admonishes you to be faithful to the Gospel and to live in the Spirit like God: “but they will give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead. For this is why the gospel was preached even to those who are dead, that though judged in the flesh the way people are, they might live in the spirit the way God does.". Some people are filled with the world or the devil or alcohol or drugs or materialism or their jobs or just themselves. You need to be filled with the Holy Spirit. As you walk with the Holy Spirit, Paul instructs in Ephesians 5:15-17 to make wise use of our limited time on earth and to seek God's will through the Holy Spirit: “Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.". Come Holy Spirit; fill us with your presence and power. Are you filled with the Holy Spirit? If not, why not? TODAY'S PRAYER: Father, I confess that when difficulties and trials come into my life, large or small, I mostly grumble and complain. I realize the trials James talks about are not necessarily “walls,” but they are difficult to bear, nonetheless. Fill me with such a vision of a transformed life, O God, that I might actually consider it “pure joy” when you bring trials my way. I believe, Lord. Help my unbelief. In Jesus' name, amen. Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 94). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, because of I am filled with the Holy Spirit, I will not be controlled by my Anxiety. Rather, I will walk in the Spirit's fruit of Peace. “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” (Galatians 5:22f). SCRIPTURE REFERENCE (ESV): Ephesians 5:15-21; Acts 2:1-4; 1 Peter 4:1-6; Psalms 34a: 1-11. A WORD FROM THE LORD WEBSITE: www.AWFTL.org. THIS SUNDAY'S AUDIO SERMON: You can listen to Archbishop Beach's Current Sunday Sermon: “Today's World Is Fertile Ground for a Spiritual Awakening that Calls Jesus Followers to Obey and be “Strong and Courageous” – God Is with Us and In Us", at our Website: https://awtlser.podbean.com/ DONATE TO AWFTL: https://mygiving.secure.force.com/GXDonateNow?id=a0Ui000000DglsqEAB

In Part Two of Power Encounters, we explore Being Filled with the Holy Ghost. Being filled with (or the baptism in) the Holy Ghost is a gift subsequent to salvation that is available to every believer. It is empowerment for service. Before we seek to engage in Power Encounters, such as casting out devils, speaking with new tongues, or laying hands on the sick and seeing them recover, we should seek to be filled with the Holy Ghost. Tune into this message to find out (1) what is it?, (2) why do I need it?, (3) how do I get it?, (4) how do I operate in it?, and (5) how does it relate to Power Encounters?
Make Wise Use of Your Limited Time on Earth by Being Filled with the Holy Spirit Seeking God’s Will Through the Holy Spirit MESSAGE SUMMARY: If you believe that Christianity is just a bunch of rules and laws for you (all of which you cannot keep!), then you really do not know what Christianity is all about. Followers of Jesus are filled with the Holy Spirit. All of us are filled with something. With what are you filled? The Apostle Peter, in 1 Peter 4:5-6, admonishes you to be faithful to the Gospel and to live in the Spirit like God: “but they will give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead. For this is why the gospel was preached even to those who are dead, that though judged in the flesh the way people are, they might live in the spirit the way God does.". Some people are filled with the world or the devil or alcohol or drugs or materialism or their jobs or just themselves. You need to be filled with the Holy Spirit. As you walk with the Holy Spirit, Paul instructs in Ephesians 5:15-17 to make wise use of our limited time on earth and to seek God’s will through the Holy Spirit: “Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.". Come Holy Spirit; fill us with your presence and power. Are you filled with the Holy Spirit? If not, why not? TODAY’S AFFIRMATION: Today, because of I am filled with the Holy Spirit, I will not be controlled by my Anxiety. Rather, I will walk in the Spirit’s fruit of Peace. “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” (Galatians 5:22f). SCRIPTURE REFERENCE (ESV): Ephesians 5:15-21; Acts 2:1-4; 1 Peter 4:1-6; Psalms 34a: 1-11. A WORD FROM THE LORD WEBSITE: www.AWFTL.org.

The essence of love is spiritual, coming from God's Presence in us, for God is love, and love is of God, and the fruit of the Spirit is love. Love exists in 4D. We must (1) receive His love into our heart by faith, so we are filled with His love (Ephesians 3:14-19), then (2) release His love by our words and actions.

This week, we're joined by an extra special and extra wonderful guest named Olivia James! She's here to help us learn. Learn about ourselves, about reality, and just how little we know about either of those things. The subject of our hypothetical musings THIS time is: philosophy! So, we're using some classic philosophical thought experiments as jumping points for strange suppositions, answering some great listener-submitted questions, and wondering if we even exist. Topics include: Bike Is Horse, The Daydream of a Lucid-Dreaming Demon, Being Filled with Beetles, The Matrix 4: Flight Simulator '98, That Nasty Nasty Hole, R U Three, and Dumpster Brain 2: Escape from New York. *** If you'd like to check out Olivia's rad blog, HERE IT IS. https://autofspoons.com/ *** If you'd like to check out the rest of our internet presence, you really should. Come do it. Come hang out with all the rad kids in our FACEBOOK GROUP. And be sure to check out Radio Five Watt!

We live in terribly trying times. Just check out the evening news. The prospect of war in the Middle East looms over our heads, the eminent collapse of our financial system and the fear of hyper-inflation keeps many awake at night and the rapid moral decay of our culture paints an incredibly bleak picture for our children and our grandchildren. What's a believer to do?Strive to be continually filled with the Holy Spirit. Oh, so you've heard that before. Nevertheless, the reality doesn't change. You need to be filled with the Holy Spirit."But how?" you ask. Great question. Keep listening.The following is a study on Being Filled with the Holy Spirit.
