All my life I felt awkward and out of place, not because of my religion, but because of my spiritual gifts. It was hard to combine the idea of what first seemed like two separate worlds. So my whole life I have tried. I have learnt more about my gifts, and stayed faithful to my faith. But then I heard people left the church because it seems impossible to combine the two. So I am here, to try and mend the rift. To show that it is possible to be both LDS and to have, and use, our spiritual gifts. I am not alone on this journey, but my sister, who just is waking up to her spiritual gifts is by my side and she will also share her story.Jesus Christ, our older brother, was a healer. He asked us to love one another. So let´s follow in his footsteps. Please join me on this journey, let´s make a community of strong spiritual LDS, or whatever religion you belong to, and all work together to make this world a better place.If you like what I do, then you can find me here:https://linktr.ee/ldsandmediumIf you have words of support or stories that you anonymously want me to share please write me at ldsandmedium@gmail.com.

Andrea Catherwood brings listeners questions to the broadcaster and journalist Darryl Morris and Executive Producer Jo Meek - makers of Radio 4's documentary God Next Door. Darryl has spent a considerable amount of time talking to James from Manchester, a landscape Gardner who believes himself to be God and has a number of followers in the local community who share his belief. There's been a sensational cycle of breaking stories in the U.S. presidential campaign during the month of July. Many Feedback listeners have been concerned that this has dominated much of our news. Andrea puts these points to Justin Webb - Today presenter, co-host of Americast and Former North America Editor. Imagine taking a week long Summer break, discovering new places, experiencing a wide range of culture and music with moving from your radio. The Feedback inbox has been overflowing with praise for Petroc Trelawny's Breakfast Road Trip to the North East of England which was broadcast live every morning last week. Taking a break from preparations for the The Prom at the Royal Albert Hall, Petroc came on Feedback to give some insight into how a week out and about works. Presented by Andrea Catherwood Produced by Pauline Moore A Whistledown Scotland production for BBC Radio 4
I told God “Next week”. Did you ever tell God “Wait”, “not now”, “maybe later”, or just a big fat “I don't think so”? I just told God, in church, “next week”. Yes, that is correct. In church. Let me back up and explain so you can really see why I am confessing to you right now. I was talking to God recently in the last several months and asking him to speak to me. I wanted Him to lay on my heart of what He wants out of me; my next steps and how to serve Him. I had nothing particular in my mind of what to do or even my own ideas. I was opened to what He wants. Or was I? I asked Him to let me know what he wants, what He desires, AND I asked him to give me the ears to hear as well. The ears to hear is very important the heart to understand is very important. I prayed for both things since I didn't want to miss it. Also, my prayers for these things have been a bit ongoing over the last couple of months. I don't know if I wasn't quite settling down enough, quieting myself enough, or could it possibly be that I just didn't like what I heard him and laid on my heart? So, here it comes. One day in church recently I was sitting quietly, and I was having my butterfly thoughts fly in, AKA Holy Spirit whispers. My heart was prepared and softened and my ears were attentive to what He had to say. God's instructions came. It was a simple knowing in my heart and the request was small. I could have rejoiced knowing I pray specifically, He speaks specifically, I receive a knowing in my heart, a request from Him, and we move on to our next step. I could have rejoiced in that. I should have rejoiced in that. I don't know what happens in our human limited brain and knowledge, and all of our feelings and stuff, but I almost immediately said “how about next week God”? What!? What did I just do?! I have been asking God for months of what I need to do, what He desires my next step to be knowing that the Bible says be faithful in the small things and then greater things will come. I know. Some of you are thinking, “why do that?”, or some of you are thinking, “yeah, I have been there”. I am confessing right now. I have limited knowledge, I have limited understanding against what He knows, understands, and merely of who HE is. I do know this and also know He is constant; He is mighty and He is all knowing. If He takes care of the smallest of animals and provides, He will do for me and you. He knows what is best. For everyone. He knows what we need beyond what we think we need. He knows what our wants will do to us sometimes and not for us. He is all knowing. He is all powerful and wants a relationship with us. And He will not steer us wrong when we listen. Did I immediately obey after I even knew I was wrong and was convicted in my heart. Sadly, no, however, a day or so after that, I prayed and sure enough, the topic wrapped around again and came to my heart? Indeed, it did. Did I obey. Indeed, I did. You see, God does want us to have a relationship with Him. A real one. A personal one. He wants us to communicate with Him and hear Him with Holy Spirit whisperings and as He speaks through His Word. Obeying Him and His word is a part of our personal relationship with Him and a part that sometimes might not make total sense to us, but requires steps taken in faith in Him. Why does obedience matter? Here are just 3 good reasons. God's instructions are for our good. He wants good things for us, and He knows what is best. It keeps us attuned to His Spirit's leading. Blessings follow obedience. God wants to bless us, and the obedience opens the door to His blessings. Psalms 119:32 True transformation occurs when we act on what we have heard. James 1:22 compares hearing God's Word without obeying it to glancing at our reflection in a mirror and forgetting. True heart transforming comes from be a doer and not just a listener. Here's to our spiritual ears being attuned, our heart being softened and prepared for true transformation taking place continuously in our lives.

‘Let the one…boast…that they have the understanding to know me.' Jeremiah 9:24 NIVGod said: ‘Let not the wise boast of their wisdom or the strong boast of their strength or the rich boast of their riches, but let the one who boasts boast about this: that they have the understanding to know me' (vv. 23-24 NIV). The truth is, if you don't know God it doesn't matter how much money you have in your bank account, or what certificates hang on your wall, or what position you hold in the company. Until you have a relationship with God, you haven't really started to live life to the full! And part of getting to know Him is learning the truth about yourself. After witnessing the miracle-working power of Christ, Peter acknowledged, ‘I am a sinful man!' (Luke 5:8 NIV). When the prophet Isaiah saw the Lord sitting upon His throne, he cried, ‘Woe is me!' (Isaiah 6:5 NKJV). But God doesn't tell you the truth about yourself and then leave you that way. Like a good doctor, He tells you what the problem is so that you can get the best treatment. And the best treatment for sin is salvation through the blood of Jesus. You'll never really know God until you're related to Him through Jesus Christ. So if you've never accepted Jesus as your Saviour, why not start the New Year by praying: ‘Father, I repent and turn away from my sin. I'm putting my life in Your hands, trusting You as my Lord and Saviour. Thank You for the gift of eternal life. Starting today, I'm asking You to lead and guide me and fulfil Your will through me. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.' Happy New Year!

Now Jesus himself was about thirty years old when he began his ministry. He was the son, so it was thought, of Joseph, the son of Heli, the son of Matthat…the son of Enosh, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God (Luke 3:23-38). Well, I skipped most of the passage, as many of you probably do when encountering a Biblical genealogy. Our culture has lost its interest in history, even its own history. But most cultures, today and throughout the ages, have valued the role ancestors played in shaping in their lives. This was true of Luke's world. There is value in this list of names. When we think of the teachings of Christianity, we might ponder doctrines like the transcendence of God and the incarnation of Christ. Luke didn't have such theological titles; before there were doctrines there were stories and genealogies. With this list of names, he wants us to realize something about Jesus, the main character of the story he was telling. Luke inserts Jesus' genealogy between his baptism and his temptations. These three panels are linked with these phrases, “You are my son” a voice from heaven tells Jesus at his baptism, “the son of God” with which Luke ends the genealogy and “If you are the Son of God…” with which Satan questions that assertion (4:3). Literary buffs will recognize that Luke uses a common narrative devise, he gives the answer before he askes the question. Here and throughout this gospel, we are being invited to wrestle with the question, “Is Jesus really the son of God?” and if he is, “What difference does that make?” So, what answer does Luke offer us in Jesus' genealogy? First, Jesus' ancestry is traced back to David, so he has royal blood and has the right to claim the kingship of Israel, and ultimately the kingship of the cosmos. Second, he is traced back to Abraham, so he receives and has the potential to fulfill the promises made to Abraham and in fact, all the promises ever made to Israel. Third, Jesus is a son of Adam, the figure through whom all of us are connected to one another. He doesn't just represent Israel but all the people of the world. We don't have to be Jewish to be part of what Jesus does. Luke is underscoring a point he made with Jesus' baptism. Pastor Anthony put it like this, Jesus was baptized to “truly identify himself with us” and “so that he might truly take on our sin”. He came not just to be human but for the sake of all humans. That is why Luke ends, “the son of Adam, the son of God.” We might all claim to be children of God, created in his image as we are. But the family likeness was distorted through the fall into sin. Since them, no one can claim to fully bear the likeness of God, except Jesus. He is again what Adam once was. He is human as God meant humans to be, the image of God, showing the family likeness in perfection. We may picture our present human existence as a pit, in which all of us are trapped. The sin of Adam has removed any possibility of our climbing out. Jesus is like us in that he has come down into the pit with us. That is the message of the baptism story and the family tree, if we leave out their closing verses. Even though Jesus is like us, he is also unlike us. We are here because of a fall into disobedience. He is here because of a descent into obedience. He never let go of the rope which joins him to God. He is firmly anchored in the unbroken relation of sonship with his Father. That is why his humanity is distinctive. That is why it is only by clinging to him that are we lifted out of the pit. That is the message of the last words of the baptism story (22) and of the family tree (38). “You are my son” … “the son of God” … Next, we will see that Jesus passes the test of sonship with flying colours. Through Christ, we all can be part of God's family tree, daughters and sons of the king. These are the answers Luke hides in his list of names, the ancestors of Jesus. Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift.
For additional notes and resources check out Douglas’ website.Salient points:Keeping the commands in our hearts, or writing them on the tablet of our hearts, isn’t just scripture memory; it’s obedience.Trusting in the Lord – really letting go – is hard!Straight paths means not that life is easy, but that we are doing right morally – on the straight and narrow.Honoring God with our wealth includes resisting materialism. See Amos 6:1-7; Prov 1:19.Vs. 11-12, cited in Heb 12, encourages us not to take God’s correction lightly or too hard.The “tree of life,” from Gen 3, reappears four times in Proverbs and 4x in Revelation.“Watery depths” is the sea beneath the earth (in the ancient cosmology).3:27-28 are similar to a passage in ch 24.The final verses: Mocking proud mockers – opposing the proud – but showing favor / grace to the humble (and oppressed) is cited a number of times in the NT.Challenge of the day: Humility. Let go and let God…Next lesson: Proverbs 4, another chapter highlighting fundamental heart issues important for developing a disciplined life.
Are we really not hearing from God or are we just not hearing what we want to hear? Let's get into it saints! It's time out for trying to put God NEXT to us instead of allowing him to LEAD us. I don't know about you but I need HIS WILL to be done. Not mine. Enjoy the ride!

Genesis 24
'Then He began to rebuke the cities in which most of His mighty works had been done, because they did not repent: “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. But I say to you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgment than for you. And you, Capernaum, who are exalted to heaven, will be brought down to Hades; for if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. But I say to you that it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment than for you.”' Matthew 11:20-24 NOTES: Grace - something you have that you did not deserve Consider with us the miracles that Jesus performed within these cities If you are saved you have the privilege of knowing GOD Next time you get to feeling God owes you something, you better remember what God has already given you It is important for us to remember that God will always give us the opportunity to repent Your unwillingness to repent is a slap in Gods face!

I’d like to add to yesterday’s podcast that the reason really listening to God is important is more than getting information. We often think of listening to God as a way of getting information, to help with decisions or direction. But in fact, I find that usually getting information is not that useful for living your life. Yes, sometimes we are facing big decisions. But on a day-to-day basis, we need reassurance, hope, connection, and a sense we are loved. We want to hear that God’s got this, that he’s on our side. And THAT’S usually how God shows up. That’s actually what he does when I listen and write out questions and responses. Usually the “answers” are much more in the category of emotional types of responses in the way of God helping, or encouraging me. For example, one of the people who replied to me yesterday said that in answer to their question they felt God was saying: “Don't be concerned about it. I'm in control.” This is beautiful… I’ve often written similar things. And you know what? It’s true! And it’s helpful and reassuring. The next step to try is this: Dig deeper, and ask another question! So, in our example above, ask “Why shouldn’t I be concerned about it?” And I’ll continue that dialogue. So, again, I’d encourage you to give it a try, and ask God what to do about a situation in your life today. And then, when you’ve written something down, continue the dialogue by writing another question, related to the answer you just wrote. What happens then is that God goes deeper too and there’s an expanded sense of his goodness, his love, his care, and his attention in my life. And then the result of this is that I actually feel better, more confident about making those decisions, jobs, or tasks. Coming from this new perspective of peace, hope, and reassurance makes these things much easier to do or move forward on. God telling us that he loves us is, in a curious way, more powerful than getting specific directions like “turn left, or turn right.” Give it a try. Ask a further question and keep the conversation going. And let me know how it goes. Thanks, Dean
