Experiencing God - God Speaks by Valley Real Life

Dr. Bob Logan Acts 2:42-47

In today's message, Pastor Harrison Conley breaks down three biblical principles of sowing and reaping. With practical insights from the Word of God, He explores how we can apply these principles of experiencing God's abundance to our lives, including our finances. Through the lens of an eternal standpoint, we discover that sowing money into the kingdom of God is never wasted. As believers, we are encouraged to shift from the world's perspective to God's view of finance and stewardship by managing His blessings for His glory rather than holding tightly to earthly possessions. God ultimately desires our hearts for obedience, not the wealth we obtain. His promise to us is that all our needs will be met, and we will have enough to bless others in return.

Experiencing God - God Invites Us by Valley Real Life

Jimmy Carter interviews Lead Student Pastor Jake Deshler about the message given on Sunday, April 30th. This message is a part of the teaching series, Experiencing God. 

Dr. Bob Logan Acts 2

Listen as Pastor Jody Hagerty shares the powerful truth from the Word of God in this series called "Experiencing God".

Website- http---www.brministry.org - App- http---get.theapp.co-725c-Henry Blackaby wrote a workbook on Experiencing God in this interview he shares how he wanted his readers to not just know God, but to experience Him in their daily lives.

I’m a worrier. Early mornings are the worst because I’m alone with my thoughts. So I taped this quote from Hudson Taylor on my bathroom mirror, where I can see it when I’m feeling vulnerable: “There is a living God. He has spoken in the Bible. He means what He says and will do all He has promised.” Taylor’s words came from years of walking with God and remind us of who He is and all He can do through our times of illness, poverty, loneliness, and grief. He didn’t merely know that God is trustworthy─he’d experienced His trustworthiness. And because he’d trusted God’s promises and obeyed Him, thousands of Chinese people gave their lives to Jesus. Experiencing God and His ways helped David know that He’s trustworthy. He wrote Psalm 145, a song of praise to the God he’d experienced to be good, compassionate, and faithful to all His promises. When we trust and follow God, we realize (or understand) that He is who He says He is and that He’s faithful to His word (v. 13). And, like David, we respond by praising Him and telling others about Him (vv. 10−12). When we face worrisome times, God can help us not to falter in our walk with Him, for He is trustworthy (Hebrews 10:23).

Are you wondering why you are not experiencing GOD's Favor the way you would want to see? perhaps, you should check the correlation between GOD's Favor and offering yourself as a living sacrifice unto the LORD.

Listen as Pastor Jody Hagerty shares the powerful truth from the Word of God in this series called "Experiencing God".

Too many children are launching from Christian homes and denouncing their faith. If the normal rhythms of Christian parenting aren't working, then why? The Tolpins believe part of it is; if the heart behind the Spiritual things parents do with and for their families isn't right, then it may not be having the effect they hope. If we feel a need to do something spiritual, is it only out of duty as a parent, or our love for God? Is it checking off a box, or is it a deep desire to draw closer to the Lord and encourage our family to do so as well? What will the perception of your children be about your spiritual leadership as they get older by what they lived out in your home? Yes, take your family to church, but cultivating a culture in your home where people experience God is a whole different thing.

The post Experiencing God Conversation appeared first on Faith Community Bible Church.

This week, Paul and Dominic interview Eve Tushnet about her wonderful book, “Tenderness: A Gay Christian's Guide to Unlearning Rejection and Experiencing God's Extravagant Love.” Our discussion had two key themes. The first is that gay men and women are, in fact, relentlessly and tenderly loved by God and have a place in the Church. The second is that gay folks often experience harm in the Church ranging from outright discrimination and bullying to casual spiritual abuse. And, as Eve points out, those experiences are an “anti-catechesis” that proclaims that God is more like an abusive boyfriend than a loving father. A quick note, Eve was recovering from pneumonia when we recorded this episode, so please excuse what she called her Darth Vadar voice.  Eve Tushnet is a freelance writer, a Patheos blogger, and the award-winning author of Gay and Catholic. She also has written two novels, is the editor of the anthology Christ's Body, Christ's Wounds, and has contributed to several books, including Sex and the Spiritual Life. Tushnet has written on the paths of love available to gay Christians for a wide range of publications, including America, American Conservative, Commonweal, and Christianity Today, and online for Atlantic, New York Times, and Washington Post. She has spoken at multiple conferences for LGBT Christians. She also writes and speaks on the arts. Tushnet lives in Washington, DC.

Today we are going to be talking about “Experiencing God at a Deeper Level Through His Abiding Love.” We all have the desire to know God more deeply and to grow every day in our faith and to know without a doubt the love that God has for us. As Christians, we try to add our own flesh-fueled ideas of what we think building a relationship with God should look like, through our own effort and our own works. Sometimes we need help living and resting in Jesus, and finding our way to the place where we can really know the hope of God and know that he truly is for us. Our guest today, Ron Block, author of the book, Abiding Dependence: Living Moment by Moment in the Love of God, knows very well that becoming who we're meant to be requires a deeper experience with God, and he will be sharing more about that and his own walk with Christ today.Bible: The WordFavorite App: Tecarta Bible AppBullet JournalToday's Sponsor: The Talking Jesus Doll - Use coupon code CBTDOLL for 10% discount!0:00 - Intro 2:05 - Ad Break3:37 - Meet Ron Block8:42 - When did you become a Christian and why you decided to commit your life to Christ?13:04 - Tell us about the years you shifted then into your musical career.16:42 - That's fascinating during those years, how would you describe sort of your spiritual growth?23:03 - Seeing the joy of Christ29:24 - What do you mean by abiding dependence?34:31 - 40 days through your book46:17 - One of the 40 meditations51:01 - Connect with Ron Block53:17 - Favorite Bible study tool questions 58:55 - OutroTalking Jesus Doll Talking Jesus Doll is a beautiful plush Jesus doll.

I got to interview Nicole Angelique Kerr. Nicole is an award-winning health expert Nicole Kerr is the co-author of Eating the Rainbow: Lifelong Nutritional Wellness—Without Lies, Hype, or Calculus. She has appeared on CNN, PBS, CBS, ABC, the Food Channel, and a host of other TV and radio shows to share her unique perspective on wellness, lifestyle, and nutrition. She is now the author of the best-selling book, You Are Deathless: A Near-death Experience Taught Me How to Live Fully and Not Fear Death. For the past 30 years, Nicole has worked in all sectors of society, including in government (the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), non-profit (American Cancer Society), military (United States Air Force Medical Operations), academia (University of Hawaii), healthcare institutions/hospitals (Adventist Health Castle and Queens Medical Center), corporate settings (Sea Ties, LLC), and private consultation. Nicole's warm, engaging presentations have earned her a place in front of international audiences ranging from corporate food producers to health and medical associations. Throughout her career, she has focused on supporting people from every walk of life to make realistic, meaningful, happy choices for lifelong health and well-being. When she was a 19-year-old cadet at the United States Air Force Academy, Nicole would be forced to learn how to live and love differently following a terrifying and transformative Near-Death Experience. Her memory of the crash came back 20 years later, and it has taken Nicole almost another two decades to align her soul, spirit, mind, and body, proving healing is certainly a non-linear process. A disabled veteran, Nicole now maintains a private practice primarily using Neuro Emotional Technique (NET) targeting the often overlooked domains of emotional, energy, and spiritual well-being. We spoke about: 7:30 Not ready for the abuse in US Air Force Academy. 9:45 Asking for a ride changed her life. 11:24 Being pronounced dead at the scene. In hospital for 4 months and 7 weeks in ICU. 13:10 Remembering going to the other side. 17:50 Getting rid of the pain. 27:30 Experiencing God on the other side. 32:00 Being honest about death.

If spiritual health is having more of the Holy Spirit, then how can we position ourselves to experience more of Him? Two essentials are obeying God and loving / enjoying god. "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" John 15:10. In part 1, we discussed the importance of obedience; in part 2 we share 3 ways to enjoy God more: through nature, music, and evangelism.“I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.” John 10:10"These things I've spoken to you so that my joy may be in you and your joy may be full." John 15:11Key components to help us go from ho-hum, mundane spiritual life to “abundant life:"NatureMusic / Special times of musical worship – either alone or corporatelyEV Nature:“The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims His handiwork.” Ps. 19:1“Once for all I have sworn by my holiness; I will not lie to David. His offspring shall endure forever, his throne as long as the sun before me. Like the moon it shall be established forever, a faithful witness in the skies.” Ps. 89:36-37“Your steadfast love, O Lord, extends to the heavens, your faithfulness to the clouds. Your righteousness is like the mountains of God; your judgments are like the great deep; man and beast you save, O Lord.” Ps. 36:5-6“Mightier than the waves of the sea, the Lord on high is mighty!” Ps. 93:4“From the rising of the sun to its setting, the name of the Lord is to be praised!” Ps. 113:3The purpose of nature is to remind us of God's faithfulness, power, and beauty, and lead us to worship. Nature is a gift of God to us, to open up our hearts to experience Him! Music:“Come into His Presence with singing!” Ps. 100“It is good to give thanks to the Lord, to sing praises to your name, O Most High; to declare your steadfast love in the morning and your faithfulness by night, to the music of the lute and the harp.” Ps. 92:1-2“My heart is steadfast, O God! I will sing and make melody with all my being! Awake, O harp and lyre! I will awake the dawn!” Ps. 108“Let everything that has breath praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!” Ps. 150:6 Music is similar to nature in that it uniquely and powerfully opens up our hearts to experience more of God. God created music. He created people to create and enjoy music. It's a bit mysterious how music affects us. I believe it can open up our hearts in special ways to experience God. For example, you can read truths about God in the Bible, and be struggling to feel them. And then when you sing those truths to God, He changes your heart and mood and may set you free from bondage to stress or busyness or fear! Singing worship to God is clearly commanded in God's Word. It is part of God's design for the Christian life. It's all over Psalms!Evangelism:Sharing the gospel is included in the “obedience” aspect of this teaching. When we obey God in any way, such as sharing the gospel, we experience more of Him. But I believe sharing the gospel has a unique power in affecting our relationship with God, for a few reasons:-Speaking the gospel truths out loud to someone who doesn't know or believe them, actively builds up my faith in those truths, and makes me treasure them more. I am reminded of how terrible it would be to not know those truths or have Jesus in my life, so it floods my heart with thankfulness. It regularly changes my mood.-Speaking the gospel usually requires stepping out of my comfort zone, dying to self, and sacrificing my time, which is good for my heart. It helps me surrender to the Lordship of Christ in my life, and reminds me that my life isn't all about me and my happiness.-Speaking the gospel sometimes results in seeing God work in powerful ways, which is also uniquely spiritually encouraging!Recommended book: The Things of Earth by Joe RigneyConnect With Us:The Coworkers Podcast websiteEmail: coworkersstudy@gmail.com

Justin Paul Abraham exhorts the Body of Christ to step into the significant call from the Lord into our authority and into beautiful, intimate union with Him. We are in a season in which God is teaching us how to access realms, see angels, and partner with Him to move beyond time and space. “So when we see a new revelation of God's heart, it should cause us to bow even lower in worship and to break our alabaster box and to worship at His feet because God is love and He's the God of all comfort.” - Dr. Brian Simmons With greater awareness, we will step into some of the greatest wonders in history. Turn your attention to the Father today, and allow your conscious awareness to be completely immersed in Him and the full reality of the new creation life we now get to live through Him. This is the great unveiling of Christ.   Related Materials: Join the International Mentoring Community IMC, to facilitate a safe environment where like-minded people at any stage of their walk can enter into a deeper experience of Jesus. Liz Wright will mentor you each week through revelatory teaching, powerful testimonies and the grace to step into life-changing encounters with Jesus.  https://lizwright.org/imc
