Podcasts about god faith

This powerful message, “The Make-up of a Mother,” peels back the surface to reveal the God-given identity and inner strength of moms. It's not about the mascara or concealer—it's about the spiritual DNA hand-picked by God: Faith, Favor, and Fire. From the unrelenting faith of the Canaanite woman, to the wisdom-seeking favor of the Queen of Sheba, to the fiery leadership of Phoebe—the Bible shows that mothers are more than caretakers; they're spiritual warriors, wisdom seekers, and world-changers. This message isn't just a celebration—it's a commissioning. Mama, you weren't made up. You were made new. And you were made for more.

There are those who say they can only believe in something they can observe and measure in nature, and therefore do not believe in a supernatural God. However, there are also those of us who are compelled to believe in a First Mover or Orderer of all things in our scientific cause to find out why and how all things exist and function.

The Enchiridion, Manual, or Handbook of Augustine of Hippo is alternatively titled, "Faith, Hope, and Love". The Enchiridion is a compact treatise on Christian piety, written in response to a request by an otherwise unknown person, named Laurentis, shortly after the death of Saint Jerome in 420. It is intended as a model for Christian instruction or catechesis. As the title indicates, the work is organized according to the three graces necessary for the Christian worship of God: Faith, Hope and Love. Under Faith, Augustine explains the use of the Apostles' Creed, in teaching Christian doctrine and in refuting heresies. Under Hope, he briefly explains the Lord's Prayer as a model of Christian prayer. The final part is a discourse on Christian love.

A support of a group of prayerful women became a turning point, as Susie likened their encouragement to having an army by her side.During the 2020 pandemic, Susie received a powerful vision of a prayer "power grid," illustrating the strength of intercessory prayer and community support.[05:30] The Power of Community and PrayerSusie emphasizes the importance of community and finding like-minded people to pray and intercede together.Dreams are conceived and achieved in intimacy and the need for new strategies and engagement in the current times.There is power in finding community and continuing to stand firm for a cause or a group, whether it's a school, church, community, or the world.Susie encourages listeners to find their fiery people, pray, and find trust in God together. Doing so can lead to breakthroughs and new strategies.[08:37] Revival and the Church's RoleDuring the pandemic, the resilience of the church has been evident through the depth of faith and spiritual hunger among believers. The church is alive and thriving.`One testimony sparks another, creating a ripple effect of faith and deliverance; sharing your personal story can empower another person to overcome their challenges.[10:48] Personal Testimony of DeliveranceSusie shares a personal story of a woman who experienced a miracle healing after attending a retreat and being prayed for.It serves as a reminder of the importance of persistence in prayer for deliverance and healingAddressing the stigma surrounding mental health, there's a call for believers to root their identity in Christ rather than their struggles. Sharing stories of deliverance not only inspires others but also builds a community of faith and hope.[16:27] Susie: “It takes work to contend, it takes work to contend for freedom. It almost feels better to go, oh, I can just accept this.”[16:40] Surrendering to God vs. CircumstancesThere is a difference between surrendering to God in our circumstances and surrendering to our circumstances.True surrender, Susie explains, is about turning to God in the midst of hardship rather than succumbing to the weight of circumstances. [17:13] Susie: “Surrendering to your circumstances is really like just wearing your affliction like that is your identity, and you accept it and you expect everybody else to accept where surrendering to God in your circumstances, say this is real. I'm walking through it. It's hard, it's messy. It does not define me.”By acknowledging pain without letting it define us, we can hold onto holy anticipation and faith in God's promises. Freedom requires active contemplation, encouraging listeners to reject the lie that their afflictions are their identity and instead live boldly in the victory God has promised.[18:00] Practical Steps to Trust in GodReagan asks Susie how she copes with her own health challenges and feeling unwell.Community and prayer were central to Susie finding resilience despite the health issues she had.Reaching out to her prayer partners and entering into the throne room of God are key parts of her strategy. Additionally, Susie uses a redeemed imagination to visualize herself healthy and strong, reinforcing her trust in God's healing power.[24:38] The Power of Imagination and VisualizationThere is a powerful science behind visualization and how it can help with healing and achieving goals.She shares a story of a doctor who helped a patient visualize walking again and how it led to the patient's recovery.Susie encourages listeners to use their imagination to picture themselves well and to seek God's vision for their next place of promise.A redeemed imagination is grounded in Biblical principles.[33:12] Susie: “Your dreams should be so big that they're destined to fail without divine intervention, otherwise, your dreams are too small.”[33:45] Upcoming Initiatives and Invitation to JoinIntroducing her upcoming initiative, "Activate for Good," Susie outlines its focus on renewing the mind, setting goals, and supporting a global cause. Partnering with Venture, the initiative aims to rescue girls from human trafficking through physical and spiritual disciplines.Susie invites listeners to join the initiative, set their own goals, and raise funds to support the cause.Community and accountability go a long way toward achieving personal and global goals.About Susie LarsonSusie Larson is an author, speaker, and radio host, celebrated for her unwavering faith and resilience in the face of life's challenges.

In this message, Pastor Armando explores the challenges Christians face in a world that mirrors the world of Babylon—a culture that promotes godlessness, materialism, and rejection of objective truth. Drawing parallels to the story of Daniel in Babylon, Pastor Armando underscores the need to hold firmly to their identity in God, even amidst societal pressures to conform to worldly values. Pastor Armando encourages us to embody both love and truth, to stand united in faith rather than divided by politics, and to prioritize heavenly citizenship over worldly affiliations.

In this message, Pastor Angel explores the importance of loving God as the provider rather than just focusing on His provisions. He shares the struggle of receiving and giving gifts, using these experiences to illustrate a greater spiritual truth. Through the story of Abraham's willingness to sacrifice Isaac (Genesis 22), he highlights radical obedience and faith, explaining that true love for God comes from reverence for who He is, not just what He provides. Pastor Angel encourages gratitude for God's ultimate gift—Jesus—and reminds listeners that God's love is relentless and unconditional. True faith involves trusting God even when provision seems uncertain, valuing the relationship over the rewards.Topic: Find hope and faith | Develop a deep love for God | Faith that is strongMain scripture: 1 John 4:8; Genesis 22:1-14; Matthew 6:25-33; John 3:16; John 14:6; Philippians 4:19; Deuteronomy 8:10-18; Psalm 34:1Support the show ------------------------------------------WANT MORE?Say You Love Me 1: Building Healthy RelationshipsToxic 1: What are Toxic Thoughts?

Today we're joined by Jenna Griffith (you might remember her from episode 4 of the podcast) for a conversation on How to Talk to Your Kids About GOD, FAITH & THE BIBLE. In this episode, we're talking about how we can lay a foundation of faith for our kids. While this is an important and weighty role parents play, we don't have to feel the pressure of doing it perfectly — after all, Jesus is the Savior, not us. Jenna shares from her own experiences and gives practical suggestions for how to center your home and family life around conversations about Jesus. She also encourages moms who feel like they're carrying most of the spiritual leadership in their home. This episode is sure to blow some wind into your sails and empower you to equip your kids for a lifetime of honest conversations that shape their faith and relationship with God!

Pastor Kusi-Boadum in this episode, teaches us about FAITH, a principle in the Kingdom of God, and encouraging us Christians, in the Faith.

Today, we delve into the profound gift of faith, a cornerstone of our spiritual lives. Anchored by Hebrews 11:1, we will explore the biblical definition of faith, its role as the foundation of our relationship with God, and how it empowers us to trust in His promises.Our springboard for today's discussion is: Hebrews 11:1: "Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see." This passage encapsulates the essence of faith as a confident and assured trust in God, transcending what we can perceive with our senses.Faith is integral to our spiritual identity. It is not merely belief but a profound trust in God that influences how we perceive and interact with the world and the divine.Exploring the Gift of Faith:* Biblical Definition: Faith is depicted throughout the Bible as a steadfast assurance and confidence in God's nature and His promises. It is the lens through which we view our circumstances and the catalyst for living out God's promises.* Foundation for Relationship with God: Faith is the bedrock of our relationship with God. It enables us to trust in Him completely and surrender our lives to His guidance, fostering a deeper intimacy and dependency on Him.* Empowering Believers: Faith empowers us to move beyond doubt and fear, allowing us to act on God's promises. It is the driving force behind living a life that is aligned with God's will, enabling us to perform acts of courage and conviction that are often beyond our natural capacity.Conclusion: The gift of faith is transformative, not only affecting our spiritual health but also influencing every decision and interaction we have. It invites us to live a life of purpose and assurance, grounded in the knowledge of God's love and fidelity.A Question of the Day: How has the gift of faith impacted your personal journey with God, and what changes have you noticed in your life as a result?Growth Challenge: This week, identify one area of your life where your faith could be stronger. Commit to praying specifically about this issue each day, asking God to increase your faith and reveal His perspective on the matter.Let's Pray: Heavenly Father, we thank You for the gift of faith that connects us so deeply to You. Strengthen our faith daily, so that we may live fully in the confidence of what we hope for and the assurance of what we do not see. Help us to trust You more and follow Your paths with unwavering faith. In Jesus' name, Amen.As we continue to explore and grow in our faith, remember that each step of trust brings us closer to the heart of God. Keep seeking, keep believing, and let your faith be the foundation that guides your spiritual journey. Let's get to work.My Reasons To Believe is a reader-supported publication.

Sometimes our issues can get so big that it consumes who we are and we start to base our identity off of it. But we serve a God who is not only powerful but intentional and He walks slow through a crowd so that we may reach out for Him. Whatever we praise ends up getting magnified in our lives  but we have the power to flip that and speak the things God has spoken over our lives! Desperate people do desperate things and when we want him to show up in our lives we have to go to him no matter the cost.  1 God will use desperation to push us into our destiny. 2 Desperation is the door that breakthrough walks through.  3 Desperation will open up doors that complacency will keep shut. 4 Faith is the only thing that activates the miraculous with God Faith needs to be exercised so the more weight we add to our faith, the stronger it grows. The things we go through will give us the strength to believe in something greater. Faith gives us confidence and empowers us to endure even when we want to quit. If faith moves mountains fear creates them but God reminds us that even the faith the size of a mustard seed is enough to move that mountain. Oftentimes God will allow us to watch people get their miracle before us but that waiting season is not a wasted season. If He's faithful to them He will be faithful to us! Both Jairus and the Woman needed a miracle and where the woman received a healing, Jairus ended up receiving something greater:  a resurrection!

June 30, 2024 Peace With God FAITH: The Only Way Romans 3:27-4:3 Pastor Jim Rutherford

My Courageous Warrior,In the quiet moments of your day, take to heart the powerful truth found in Matthew 17:20: "He replied, 'Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.'" This profound promise is a testament to the incredible potential that resides within even the smallest measure of faith.As you journey through life, you will encounter mountains—obstacles that seem insurmountable and challenges that appear impossible to overcome. It is in these moments that I call you to exercise your faith, no matter how small it may seem. The mustard seed, though tiny, holds within it the potential to grow into a mighty tree. Similarly, your faith, even if it feels insignificant, has the power to accomplish great things when placed in Me.Do not be discouraged by the size of your faith. Instead, focus on the greatness of the One in whom you place that faith. It is not the magnitude of your belief that moves mountains, but the power of My Spirit working through your trust in Me. Your willingness to believe, even in the face of daunting circumstances, allows My power to be made perfect in your weakness.Understand that faith is more than a feeling; it is an action. It is stepping out in confidence, trusting that I will do what I have promised. It is speaking to the mountains in your life with the authority I have given you, knowing that My power is at work within you. When you declare My promises over your circumstances, you activate the supernatural force that brings transformation and breakthrough.Let this truth anchor your heart: Nothing is impossible for you when you walk in faith. This does not mean that life will be free of challenges, but it assures you that every challenge can be met with divine strength and wisdom. As you face each day, carry this assurance with you. Speak to your mountains, whether they are fears, doubts, or obstacles, and command them to move in My name.Faith also grows through relationship with Me. Spend time in My presence, immersing yourself in My Word and listening for My voice. Let our fellowship strengthen your trust and deepen your understanding of My ways. As you grow in intimacy with Me, your faith will naturally expand, enabling you to face greater challenges with even greater confidence.My beloved warrior, I have equipped you with everything you need to overcome. Your faith, no matter how small, is a powerful force when placed in My hands. Trust in Me, take bold steps of faith, and watch as mountains move and impossibilities become realities.Go forth today, not in your own strength, but in the power of My Spirit. Declare My promises, stand firm in your faith, and know that I am with you, moving mountains on your behalf.With Eternal Love and Infinite Power,Your Heavenly Father This is a public episode.

This activity wrecked me. I continue to do it often. I often believe the lie that I'm on my own. I believe that I have to prove my worth by clinching my fists and working harder. I forgot that God is my father. I operate best when I have a childlike faith and I operate as a little boy who wants to make his father proud.

1 John 4:13 By this we know that we abide in Him and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit. In vss. 13-16, John encouraged his readers (and all who are His) that they know if they are one with God. In this verse, we learn the proof that God lives in us and we in Him. That's what John meant when he wrote, “By this we know.” Surely this proof echoes Jesus' words to His disciples in John 14:20. “In that day (the day you receive the Holy Spirit) you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you.” John went one step further in this verse and vss. 14-16) by giving the proof that one has the Holy Spirit: They have the fruit or work of the Holy Spirit evident within them. What is that fruit? It is faith and love. Here's the reasoning. If you have the Holy Spirit, then you know, or it proves three realities. 1). Jesus is in God. 2). You are in Jesus. and 3). Jesus is in you. The proof that you have the Holy Spirit is that you believe that Jesus is the Christ, sent from God in the flesh as a propitiation for your sins (vs. 15), and you love with Him (vs. 16). Faith and love are “of His Spirit.” It is only by the Holy Spirit that one believes in Jesus (vs. 2) and by the same Spirit that we are enabled to love (vs. 12-13). The natural man isn't able to believe in Jesus to the glory of God nor is he able to love with God's love, which is supernatural. Do you have the proof in your life that you abide in Jesus and He abides in you? John wasn't suggesting that if you try to believe in Jesus and try to live to love you will earn union with God. He was saying that if you believe in Jesus and love your brothers and sisters in Christ, then it is proof that you abide in Jesus and He abides in you. You have the finished work of God's love operating in your life to assure you that you are one with God. I hope this encourages you today, because if it does, then you are living to love with Jesus. If it's convicting, because you don't see His work in your life, then take heart. Repent of believing in yourself and trust in Jesus as God's provision for your salvation and for the power to live for the glory of God. Receive the Holy Spirit to manifest and perfect the life, faith, and love of Christ in your life.

Pastor Robert Rivera delivers a message entitled "Finding God Faith Part Two."

Pastor Robert Rivera delivers a message entitled "Finding God Faith."

Every great journey starts with a question. Whether it was flying men to the moon, exploring unknown worlds, abolishing slavery, or creating life-saving medicines, all our greatest achievements spawned from sincere human inquiry. And it's no wonder, really; God created us with the capacity for reason and doubt on purpose. Asking questions is an act of faith. Many people today are raising serious doubts about God, the Bible, and Christian beliefs. What if, instead of feeling threatened by our critics, Christians addressed the skeptic's questions as the beginning of a potentially life-changing journey? For the five weeks following Easter, The Story will wrestle with - and offer answers to - some of the most profound questions that people are asking about the Christian faith today. Through this series, both skeptics and believers will be encouraged to engage in deeper conversations about God.

Antisemitism around the world has risen to an “existential threat” in the 34 days since Hamas attacked Israel. This after antisemitism in the US had already escalated last year to its highest recorded level. Plus, Palestinian civilians are suffering in Gaza, and 200+ soldiers and civilians are still being held hostage by Hamas. Such widespread pain leads to a rational question: Why does God allow innocent suffering?
