Podcasts about dependence

I Kings 17:1 Now Elijah the Tishbite, from Tishbe in Gilead, said to Ahab, “As the LORD, the God of Israel, lives, whom I serve, there will be neither dew nor rain in the next few years except at my word.”Before God can do something big THROUGH YOU, he often times needs to work ON YOU.God will often humble you PRIVATELY before using you PUBLICLY.Usually this happens during a painful season of WAITING.I Kings 17:2-3 Then the word of the Lord came to Elijah: “Leave here, turn eastward and hide in the Kerith Ravine, east of the Jordan.”KERITH: Hebrew—“Cut off” or “Cut down”“It is doubtful whether God can bless a man greatly until he has hurt him deeply.”—A.W. TozerDuring your WAITING, God wants to develop your DEPENDENCE on Him.I Kings 17:4-6 “You will drink from the brook, and I have directed the ravens to supply you with food there.” So he did what the Lord had told him. He went to the Kerith Ravine, east of the Jordan, and stayed there. The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning and bread and meat in the evening, and he drank from the brook.If DEPENDENCE is the goal, WEAKNESS is an advantage. 2 Corinthians 12:9 Each time he (GOD) said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.Matthew 6:33 “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” Finally, God will call you to radical OBEDIENCE.I Kings 17:7-9 Some time later the brook dried up because there had been no rain in the land. Then the word of the Lord came to him: “Go at once to Zarephath in the region of Sidon and stay there. I have directed a widow there to supply you with food.”I Kings 17:9 “Go at once to Zarephath in the region of Sidon and stay there. I have directed a widow there to supply you with food.”I Kings 17:10 So he went to Zarephath.What has God been preparing you for that you need to STAND UP, MOVE and be RADICALLY OBEDIENT to?Successful people do CONSISTENTLY what average people do OCCASIONALLY.

Are we enduring in watchfulness, or fainting in the fight? The Christian life is a long race and a spiritual battle. Strength comes by fixing our eyes on Jesus. He's called us to wear His armor and stand firm. Will He find us praying when He returns? Jesus calls us to stay spiritually awake. Are we alert in a distracted world? From Gethsemane to today, “watch and pray” remains a call to surrender, dependence, and endurance. As we fix our eyes on Him, He keeps us, equips us, and uses us. Let us not sleep—let us pray.Want to go deeper in studying this command of Christ?

Paul and his cohorts are spreading the message of salvation throughout the land, and the reaction they get varies quite a bit. There were those who were simply astounded to learn that could have salvation from sin through simple faith in Jesus. And there were those who thought Paul and his friends were out of their minds!

Unfortunately, war and violence are an everyday part of our existence today. But when you see a building that's been flattened by a bomb or some explosion, the one thing that always remains intact is the foundation. When we face trials and tribulations, that foundation should always remain intact! Today on The Dwelling Place, Al Pittman will take us again to Acts chapter thirteen as we explore the foundations of our faith in God.

When delay is broken, the hand of the Lord brings Divine Acceleration.Pastor Shola wraps up the message by indicating What Divine Acceleration Will Do for You:- Help you catch up on wasted time and years.- Enable you to accomplish greater results in less time.- Empower you to outpace your equals.- Restore things to God's original plan.- Create time for other purposes.- Make you a model of divine possibilities.- Wipe away your tears.- Strengthen you to dare new things.Scriptures: 1 Chronicles 29:12, Acts 7:50 May the hand of the Lord come upon you and move you from delay into divine speed, in Jesus' name!——ABOUT THE NEWWe are a people of love and excellence who are result-oriented, spirit-led, word-rooted, prayer-driven, and kingdom-conscious.

Mike Erre - This week we look at Jesus' invitation to life in His kingdom, and how He never begged or bribed anyone to believe in Him. 

Watching and praying keeps us close to Christ. When temptation comes, do we run to Him or rely on ourselves? He alone is our escape and strength. Is there hidden sin or shallowness dulling your soul? Only abiding in Jesus can keep our love burning and our steps steady.Jesus calls us to stay spiritually awake. Are we alert in a distracted world? From Gethsemane to today, “watch and pray” remains a call to surrender, dependence, and endurance. As we fix our eyes on Him, He keeps us, equips us, and uses us. Let us not sleep—let us pray.Want to go deeper in studying this command of Christ?

Andrew Bustamante explains how intelligence agencies manipulate allies, why the U.S. often relies on Mossad inside Iran, and the risks of trusting groomed intel. From signals collection to dual nationals, this clip reveals the hidden games behind global espionage.

In this episode we are finish Luke 7 with a look at Luke 7:36-50. In this passage, Jesus is invited over to Simon, the Pharisee's house, and is encountered by the sinful woman. Together we again discuss the role of dependence in our lives and the importance of our undivided dependence on Jesus in everything we do. When our dependence is divided among multiple things, we find anxiety and fear, but when our dependence is focused on Jesus alone, despite the uncertainty around us, we can find true peace.

As much as we'd like to, none of us can see the future. But that hasn't stopped us from trying. Financial advisors attempt to forecast markets, meteorologists predict the weather, and sports fans try to call the final score.But when it comes to our finances—and our faith—there's an important distinction between wise planning and prideful presumption. So how do we tell the difference?The late civil rights leader Ralph Abernathy once said, “I don't know what the future may hold, but I know Who holds the future.” That's a comforting truth. God is sovereign—and that brings peace. But His sovereignty doesn't remove our responsibility to act wisely.Biblical Planning Is a Form of StewardshipScripture doesn't discourage planning—it commands it. In fact, wise planning is an essential part of faithful stewardship. God has entrusted us with time, money, relationships, and opportunities. Even though we can't predict tomorrow, we're still called to be faithful with today.Proverbs 6 paints a vivid picture of this wisdom:“Go to the ant… consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest.”The ant doesn't know what's ahead, but it prepares. Likewise, Jesus tells us in Matthew 25 to live in a state of readiness. “Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour.” Though He's referring to His return, the principle holds: life is short, time is precious, and we are not in control.When Planning Becomes PresumptionPlanning becomes presumption when we assume control over outcomes that belong to God alone.To presume means “to assume something before you know the facts.” Biblically, presumption is often associated with pride—living as if we control the future and no longer need God's input. This attitude is precisely what Jesus warns against in the Parable of the Rich Fool (Luke 12).After a man harvests a bumper crop, he says to himself:“I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones…You have plenty of grain laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry.”But God replies: “You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you.”The man's mistake wasn't in planning or saving—it was planning without God. He assumed he had time, control, and security apart from his Creator.James 4 echoes this same warning:“Now listen, you who say, ‘Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city...' Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.”The Antidote: Humble, God-Dependent PlanningJames doesn't say “don't make plans.” Instead, he offers this wise alternative:“Instead, you ought to say, ‘If it is the Lord's will, we will live and do this or that.'”This kind of planning begins with God and continues with Him. It's rooted in trust, not control. We may set goals, but we do so with open hands, inviting God to direct our steps (Proverbs 16:9).This happens in the context of a relationship. As we grow in intimacy with the Lord—through prayer, Scripture, community, and obedience—our plans begin to reflect His heart and mission.If you're married, begin planning through prayer with your spouse. If you have kids, model this dependence on God in your family conversations. Let them see you trusting God not just for salvation, but also for your finances, schedule, and future.Wise counsel is key. Don't plan in isolation. Talk to a pastor, mentor, or a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) who can help you apply biblical wisdom to your financial decisions.So yes, make plans. Just don't leave God out of them. Hold your goals loosely. And remember: success isn't defined by your ability to predict or control the future—it's defined by your willingness to seek and trust the One who holds it.Want to explore this topic further?

Have we grown spiritually sleepy? Jesus warned that our willing spirit must overcome weak flesh through watchful prayer. Overconfidence or distraction dulls our alertness. Are we depending on Him or drifting into comfort? True strength is found in humble prayer. If media or busyness has stolen our fire, it's time to repent and return. Revival begins when we wake up.Jesus calls us to stay spiritually awake. Are we alert in a distracted world? From Gethsemane to today, “watch and pray” remains a call to surrender, dependence, and endurance. As we fix our eyes on Him, He keeps us, equips us, and uses us.

What if true blessing isn't about being strong, but about surrender? In this message, inspired by Lecrae's journey from burnout to restoration, we explore Jesus' words in Matthew 5:3-4 and discover how admitting “God, I can't do this” can be the start of real life. Learn six powerful ways we depend on God for our physical, emotional, and spiritual flourishing — and how weakness becomes strength in Him.

The Lord's Prayer: Dependence (Matthew 6:11) by The Chapel Norwalk Campus

In a world that often rewards the beautiful, the wealthy, and the strong, what does it truly mean to be favored by God? Join Pastor Derek Holmes as he takes us on a journey through Luke 18, examining five powerful encounters with Jesus. We'll meet a diverse group of people—each one seeking something from the Lord. But as we listen, a surprising and beautiful pattern emerges. The people who receive mercy, grace, and a place in God's Kingdom aren't the ones we'd typically expect. Instead, they are the desperate, the humble, the dependent, and the broken. This sermon is a profound reminder that the Kingdom of God isn't a club for the perfect; it's a refuge for the needy. It's for those who recognize their emptiness and their deep, unshakeable need for a Savior—a need that only Christ can satisfy. Key Themes: - Humility vs. Pride - The Power of Dependence on God - Finding Grace in Brokenness - The True Nature of God's Kingdom

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Today's shout-out goes to Mark Thompson from Lakeland, FL. Thank you for your generosity and partnership in Project 23. You're helping others find strength to obey—even when it's hard. This one's for you. Our text today is Mark 14:32-42: And they went to a place called Gethsemane. And he said to his disciples, “Sit here while I pray.” And he took with him Peter and James and John, and began to be greatly distressed and troubled. And he said to them, “My soul is very sorrowful, even to death. Remain here and watch.” And going a little farther, he fell on the ground and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him. And he said, “Abba, Father, all things are possible for you. Remove this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will.” And he came and found them sleeping, and he said to Peter, “Simon, are you asleep? Could you not watch one hour? Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” And again he went away and prayed, saying the same words. And again he came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy, and they did not know what to answer him. And he came the third time and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and taking your rest? It is enough; the hour has come. The Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. Rise, let us be going; see, my betrayer is at hand.” — Mark 14:32-42 Gethsemane is a painful place. Here, in this garden, we find Jesus wrestling deeply with his humanity. He is troubled, sorrowful, distressed—He fully feels the weight of what lies ahead. He knows obedience to his Father means unimaginable suffering. He prays earnestly, honestly: “Abba, Father, all things are possible for you. Remove this cup from me.” But then, with unmatched humility and surrender, He adds, “Yet not what I will, but what you will.” His obedience is not casual. It's costly. His submission is not reluctant. It's fully surrendered. Obedience, for Jesus, was agony, and yet, he willingly embraced it. The disciples slept nearby, oblivious to the battle their Lord was fighting. They couldn't stay awake, not realizing the spiritual weight of that moment. Jesus wakes them, warning, “Watch and pray...the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” He wasn't just describing their struggle. He was modeling the solution: total dependence on the Father, even when it hurts. Real obedience is often difficult. It can feel like loss, struggle, or even suffering. Obeying God when it's comfortable and convenient is easy—but true obedience comes in our Gethsemane moments, when we choose God's will over our comfort. Perhaps today, you face a decision where obedience feels like loss, pain, or struggle. Jesus shows you how to respond. Bring your honest fears and struggles to God. Admit the pain. But don't stop there—choose surrender. Say it out loud like Jesus did, “Not my will, but yours.” This kind of obedience might be costly, but it's also transforming. Your greatest growth often comes through your greatest surrender. #Obedience #Gethsemane #Mark14 ASK THIS: Why do you think obedience often comes with a sense of loss or pain? What can you learn from Jesus' prayer in Gethsemane? In what area of your life is God calling you to surrender? How can you practically “watch and pray” in your moments of struggle? DO THIS: Reflect on one area where obedience feels difficult right now. Pray honestly, express your struggle, then deliberately say to God, “Not my will, but yours.” PRAY THIS: Jesus, thank you for modeling obedience—even in the midst of agony. Teach me to pray, trust, and obey like you did, especially when it's hardest. I choose Your will over mine. Amen. PLAY THIS: “Surrender.”

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Today's shout-out goes to Lee Hover from Kirland, WA. Thank you for your generosity and partnership in Project 23. You're helping equip many to live faithfully. This one's for you. Our text today is Mark 14:26-31: And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives. And Jesus said to them, “You will all fall away, for it is written, ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.' But after I am raised up, I will go before you to Galilee.” Peter said to him, “Even though they all fall away, I will not.” And Jesus said to him, “Truly, I tell you, this very night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.” But he said emphatically, “If I must die with you, I will not deny you.” And they all said the same. — Mark 14:26-31 Jesus sees clearly what Peter cannot yet see—danger ahead. In response to Jesus' sobering warning, Peter declares with great confidence: “Even if everyone else fails, I won't.” His intentions are good, but his self-assessment is dangerously flawed. Peter is overestimating his spiritual strength and underestimating the trial he's about to face. Jesus gently warns him: “Tonight, you will deny me three times.” But Peter insists emphatically, relying on his own courage, loyalty, and determination rather than leaning humbly into Jesus' warning. Peter's overconfidence blinds him. He doesn't recognize that good intentions are insufficient when pressure and temptation arise. His bold words may seem brave in the moment, but his self-confidence ultimately sets him up for a painful fall. We are often more like Peter than we realize. We confidently promise God things based on our determination, willpower, or emotions. We often imagine ourselves to be stronger, wiser, and more faithful than we are. This misplaced confidence makes us vulnerable, unprepared for temptation, trials, and spiritual setbacks. Overconfidence in ourselves leaves little room for dependence on God. The truth is, spiritual strength isn't found in making big promises to God—it's found in humble, daily dependence on Christ. Don't let your confidence rest on your strength. Don't let pride blind you to your weaknesses. Let your confidence be in Christ alone—His strength, His grace, His sustaining power. Surrender any overconfidence to the Lord today! Like right now. Before you do something stupid later today. #Overconfidence #Mark14 #HumbleFaith ASK THIS: When have you been overly confident spiritually, and what was the result? How does Peter's failure encourage humility in your own life? What practical steps can you take to depend more on Christ's strength? Why is it dangerous to rely primarily on your good intentions? DO THIS: Today, humbly ask God to reveal any areas where you might be overly confident in yourself. Surrender those areas to Him and acknowledge your need for His strength. PRAY THIS: Jesus, forgive me when I trust more in myself than in You. Reveal the pride hidden in my heart. Help me to depend fully on Your strength, not mine. Amen. PLAY THIS: “Yet Not I But Through Christ In Me.”

Will we live in spiritual alertness, or sleep as the enemy approaches? Among the olive trees, Jesus was pressed like an olive, bearing our sin in anguish and surrender. Are we awake to the price He paid for us? He calls us to stay spiritually awake through prayerful surrender.Jesus calls us to stay spiritually awake. Are we alert in a distracted world? From Gethsemane to today, “watch and pray” remains a call to surrender, dependence, and endurance. As we fix our eyes on Him, He keeps us, equips us, and uses us. Let us not sleep—let us pray.Want to go deeper in studying this command of Christ?

 “Would you pull out ChatGPT on a first date to decide what to order?” In this wildly entertaining episode of The Sandy Show, Sandy and Tricia tackle everything from viral celebrity moments to the quirks of modern tech dependence. The show kicks off with Miranda Lambert's cheeky response to her concert wardrobe malfunction—embracing her “backyard swagger” with unapologetic confidence. Then, the duo dives into the rise of “sloppers”—people who rely on AI for even the simplest decisions—and shares a hilarious story of a first date ruined by ChatGPT. From ancient Roman punishments involving monkeys and snakes to the Peanuts gang's musical comeback, this episode is packed with surprises.Key Moments:

Do you long for more peace and self-control and less fear and regret as you navigate life's challenges and hardships? In this episode, we explore how the Beatitudes and Jesus’ instructions for kingdom living offer a powerful blueprint for thriving in today’s anxious and chaotic world. When we align our lives with Christ’s teachings and depend on His strength and wisdom, we experience lasting peace, greater emotional resilience, and freedom from fear. Even in seasons of deep pain or uncertainty, Jesus draws near to comfort us—then equips us comfort to others. Because of Him, we can live with the confidence that we’ve been made right with God, positioned to receive His favor, and invited to experience the blessings of His kingdom.

Episode 2674: David and Constantino Khalaf explore how healthy dependence, rather than complete self-reliance, can foster deeper intimacy and emotional connection in relationships. By shifting from “I'll do it myself” to “How can we do this together?”, couples can strengthen their bonds through vulnerability, mutual influence, and intentional acts of connection. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.gottman.com/blog/healthy-dependence-healthy-relationships/ Quotes to ponder: "Depending on others is part of our genetic makeup, our emotional dependence on loved ones remains strong." "Being depended on helps Constantino feel that he is appreciated and useful in our marriage rather than feeling left out or neglected." "Even if David can assert his independence, it doesn't always mean he should."

Everything we have is a blessing from God, and how we handle our resources has a spiritual impact. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses how to be a good steward of our resources, gifts, and talents. He shares some of the Bible's promises surrounding money, and he corrects three common misconceptions about wealth and Christianity—that it's unspiritual to be rich, everyone should share equally, and prosperity is an indicator of holiness. God gives each of us gifts and abilities, and we have the opportunity to use them to advance His Kingdom!

HT2329 - Film, Ink, and Batteries - Our Dependence on Consumables Cleaning out the attic the other day, I ran across my old Polaroid SX-70 camera, otherwise currently known as a boat anchor. A friend of mine fears a crisis in his photography if Epson stopped making ink for his printer. And of course every digital camera uses a custom battery without which our cameras are best used as paperweights.

In this episode, "Vision Requires Dependence," Pastor Maria McWhorter delves into a powerful truth: we weren't meant to carry God's vision alone. It requires dependence on Jesus, and connection with others. Without that dependence, we risk drifting off course, or giving up entirely. Let this message challenge and encourage you to lean into the One who gives the vision and the grace to walk it out.

TODAY'S DEVOTION: Change requires work. Change of appetites, change of habits. Changing the things we turn to instead of turning from. It's going to take some work, and that's going to take some time. You might be sick and tired of your way of doing things. Maybe you're just exhausted with yourself. If so, Peter tells us right here that getting rid of the things you want to change isn't going to be enough. If we just remove it, when the troubles come, when we're stressed out, we're going to go right back to where we've been and do the things we've done before. No, simply stopping what you're doing doesn't bring about the change that you want. It's not just stopping, no. It will also require starting—craving something new. The answer is never just to get rid of the old, to sweep the cupboards of all the junk food. No. You've got to change your diet and begin craving something altogether different: the pure spiritual milk of God's Word. It requires a total change of diet. We must replace it and not just remove it. We need to assume a childlike heart and crave the pure spiritual milk of the Word. The Word is Christ. To draw from Christ our nourishment, our comfort, our life. Peter says become like a baby in that regard: totally dependent upon him. Peter says if we do that, we will begin to experience change—real change from the inside out. So let's do that. Let's continue to show up here each and every day to train our souls, to partake of God's food, his milk, his bread, to be dependent upon him for our very breath. It's not just about getting rid of things. It's about him—finding our life in him, learning something new altogether as we come to him, the source of our true nourishment and life. And that's the prayer that I have for my own soul. That's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, my son. And that's the prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Almighty and ever loving God, you have brought us to the light of a new morning. Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit that we may walk this day in peace. Guard our steps from temptation, Shield us from the weight of fear and shame, and lead us deeper into the joy of your presence through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen. O Christ, light of the nations, shine in every place where shadows dwell. Call the scattered home, Heal the wounds of division and gather all people into the communion of your grace. May the knowledge of the Lord cover the earth as the waters cover the sea. Amen. And our Lord, make my hands ready for mercy. Make my eyes quick to see the hurting, my ears open to the cry of the lonely, and my feet swift to bring good news. Let me seek to bless, not to be noticed, to serve, not to be praised, to forgive, not to hold back. For in your way is life, in your mercy is healing, and in your love is the peace this world cannot give. Amen. And now, as our Lord has taught us, we are bold to pray. Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen.   OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL
