Stand in the Breach Genesis 18:32 “ Then he said, “Oh, do not let the Lord be angry if I speak just once more. Suppose ten are found there.” He answered, “For the sake of ten, I will not destroy it.” This verse comes from a discussion between God and Moses. Let me read you the whole conversation, so you have the context. This section follows immediately the one in which God promises Sarah and Abraham that they will have a son. In this section, God wonders if He should hide from Abraham what He is about to do to Sodom and Gomorrah, and He decides He shouldn't. He has chosen Abraham to teach His children right from wrong, and so He decides to tell him the judgment He is about to hand down to Sodom and Gomorrah. Let's read from Genesis 18:20-33. “Then the Lord said, “How great is the outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah and how very grave their sin!  I must go down and see whether they have done altogether according to the outcry that has come to me; and if not, I will know.” So the men turned from there and went toward Sodom, while Abraham remained standing before the Lord. Then Abraham came near and said, “Will you indeed sweep away the righteous with the wicked? Suppose there are fifty righteous within the city; will you then sweep away the place and not forgive it for the fifty righteous who are in it?  Far be it from you to do such a thing, to slay the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous fare as the wicked! Far be that from you! Shall not the Judge of all the earth do what is just?”  And the Lord said, “If I find at Sodom fifty righteous in the city, I will forgive the whole place for their sake.”  Abraham answered, “Let me take it upon myself to speak to the Lord, I who am but dust and ashes.  Suppose five of the fifty righteous are lacking? Will you destroy the whole city for lack of five?” And he said, “I will not destroy it if I find forty-five there.”  Again, he spoke to him, “Suppose forty are found there.” He answered, “For the sake of forty I will not do it.”  Then he said, “Oh, do not let the Lord be angry if I speak. Suppose thirty are found there.” He answered, “I will not do it if I find thirty there.”  He said, “Let me take it upon myself to speak to the Lord. Suppose twenty are found there.” He answered, “For the sake of twenty, I will not destroy it.” Then he said, “Oh, do not let the Lord be angry if I speak just once more. Suppose ten are found there.” He answered, “For the sake of ten, I will not destroy it.” And the Lord went his way, when he had finished speaking to Abraham; and Abraham returned to his place.” There are at least two things I love about these verses in the Bible. First, I love what it shows us about God. It shows us that God is approachable. It shows us that we can talk with Him and that He will listen. God knows everything. He is the almighty one. He could have very easily shut Abraham down and told him it was none of his business how God handled those cities. He could have been offended because Abraham was questioning Him and His judgment. He didn't do either of these things. He listened to Abraham, He allowed Abraham to make His case, and He agreed to spare the lives of the righteous. This shows us how compassionate God is. It also shows us his mercy as well. He was willing to have mercy on the whole town for the sake of a few righteous people, as few as 10 righteous people. According to the internet, about 1,200 people lived in those cities at the time of destruction. Can you imagine having mercy on 1190 people who are doing awful things, including child sacrifice, just because there are 10 among them who are doing the right thing? That is how much God wants all of us to be saved. He is willing to give us so many chances. He was willing to spare the whole city for the sake of a few. We tend to think a lot less about God's mercy and think more about His judgment and how He is just looking for us to mess up. That is not our God. That is not the God in the Bible. When we read scripture, we get to learn who God truly is. The story of Sodom and Gomorrah can be looked at as a story of how harsh God's judgment is. However, if you read the whole story in context, you can see that God did not want to destroy the towns. He was willing to save them even if there were just 10 righteous people in the whole town. However, He couldn't even find 10. The other thing I love about these verses is that Abraham is willing to stand up for those he didn't know. Right before this section, God told Abraham and his wife, Sarah, that they would have a baby. They had tried for a long time, and they were beyond their baby-making years, age-wise. This was going to be a miracle. I would like to think many of us would have done what Abraham did. I would like to think I would have kept asking God to save those people over and over again. The truth is, I don't know if I would have. Would I have been afraid if I pushed God, He would take away the miracle He promised me? Would I have been afraid God would have gotten tired of me asking and punished me in some other way? Would I have been happy if God's focus was on someone else's sin and not my own? I don't know what I would have done. I love what Abraham did, though. He stood up for those he probably didn't even know. He begged God to save the wicked for the sake of the righteous. There was a concept we learned about in Encounter that is similar to intercessory prayer, and yet it seems so much more powerful the way they explained it. When they talked about us interceding for others, they said it's like we are standing in the breach. We stand between them and God, pleading on their behalf. There is a scene in The Lord of the Rings Trilogy that my teacher used as an example. The good guys are being chased by the bad guys. They are crossing over a bridge, and it is collapsing. All of a sudden, a dragon or something comes after them, and the white wizard, the most powerful guy, protecting them, stands strong on the bridge and says, “You shall not pass.” The good guys are able to get away, and the bad guys are not able to pass. When I think about interceding for others, I picture myself standing in the breach and not letting anything bad happen to them. I am standing there to pray for them and ask God to protect them from evil, sickness, sin, and whatever else they need protection from. Abarham was standing in the breech. He was brave enough to stand up and ask God to reconsider His plan. God wants us to stand up for those who don't know any better. He wants us to pray for all the lost souls. He wants us to pray for sinners. He wants us to pray for the wicked. God doesn't want to lose a single one of His children. He wants us all to celebrate with Him in heaven one day, and to do that, we need to pray for those we don't want to pray for. He is calling us to pray for those we don't like, those who are not nice, those who do things we don't approve of. God is calling us to His team to pray for everyone. We have no idea how powerful our prayers can be. You don't know if your prayer can be the one thing that makes the difference between someone going to heaven or hell. What if that person just needed one person to pray for him or her? What if they just needed one person to believe in them? What if. So many saints I have read about have prayed for sinners, lost souls, and even those who have hurt them. Like St. Maria Goretti, who forgave and prayed for her attacker.

In Genesis 16, we begin to see the cracks in both Sarah and Abraham's faith. Here we see a desperate, grieving, barren wife who has been told her worth is only in the sons she bears. We see a victimized young Egyptian woman who has also been told a whole other set of lies. And we see Abraham, caught in an emotional storm between two women and tripping over his own doubt and self interest. But when God sees these three people, He does not turn away. He sees a broken and hurting and desperately vulnerable Hagar and He draws near. He sees Sarah and Abraham and does not go back on His promise that He would bless them with heirs beyond their imagination. God doesn't look at us with disgust, or repulsion, or scorn. He doesn't push us away when we are unpalatable. He draws us closer. This week, we walk through Genesis 16 and we see how our God is the the One Who Sees us

Have you ever tried to help God work things out in your life? As we continue our study of Genesis, we watch how God responds to humanity's broken solution.February 17, 2026

We explore how waiting moves to worry and then to control, using Sarah and Hagar's story to show why shortcuts look smart but fracture trust. We lean into grace, name our modern shortcuts, and practice stillness as a better strategy than speed.• the pull to control when timelines slip• Sarah and Hagar as a cautionary case• the hidden costs of shortcuts in relationships• how worry fuels overwork and snap choices• grace that keeps promises despite mistakes• practical ways to pause, pray and delay• Psalm 37:7 as a daily anchor• questions to spot where we “help” GodThank you all very much.

Why did Jesus tell people to "be perfect" when He knew we couldn't? What does it mean to have a new heart? A new spirit? What about our minds? Are they new or being renewed? I tell my friends that I don't have to help Jesus, and they look at me strangely. Am I right?

 (This podcast was previously recorded and published on May 22, 2020)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...    When situations of this life arrive, we should first turn to God in prayer to see what we should do.   Then if we need help from another human, God will provide that person to help us.   I've found people are always in place to help when help is needed.  And when I know they are appointed by God for this purpose, I can praise God for the help provided.   Some people turn directly to humans when there is a need, but I like to turn first to God and discuss the matter with God.   This podcast shows God helping in time of need.   *****   Psalm 105    4 Seek the Lord, and HIS strength:   5 Remember HIS marvellous works that HE hath done; HIS wonders, and the judgments of HIS mouth;    Stop and think of some of those things God has done for you.  *** II Corinthians 5:17   Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. *** Romans 8:28   And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to HIS purpose.    We must hold fast to God's Word knowing it will be fulfilled.   ***    John 4  (Jesus says)    23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship Him.   24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship HIM must worship HIM in spirit and in truth.   *** Romans 8:14   For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.    On December 6, 2018, I fell in my house in Texas where I lived alone.  (I was 81 years old at that time.)    As the ambulance workers rolled me past the front door of that house, I heard, "You'll never see this house again."    After surgery, I spent 2 1/2 months in rehabilitation hospitals in Texas.  I knew I could no longer live alone.  A member of the body of Christ, Pam Padgett, took me to live in her home in Colorado and I put the Texas house up for sale in December 2018.   In March, 2019, God gave me a vision about the Texas house.  A man drove past the Texas house and looked closely at the house.  He passed by the house and got to the alley behind the house and stopped his car and backed up and sat at the side of the house looking intently at the house.    I felt God was showing me that the man who was going to buy the house would pass up the house but then stop and come back and buy the house.    The house was on the market between December, 2018 and March, 2020, without selling.    I was often reminded of the vision which gave me hope and I often prayed that God would bring the right person to see the house.  I prayed that the person would be in a position to afford to buy the house without it being a financial burden.   But I always held out hope for the house to sell because of that vision and also because I knew I would never see that house again and therefore would have no need for the house.    The house was a burden to me during that time for we had to pay utilities, insurance, lawn upkeep and most months it cost us approximately $500 to pay expenses on the house which was not being used.    During that time, we had 3 offers which fell through and were disappointments.   In March 2020, at the peak of the Coronavirus, I was really troubled over the house and I turned to God in prayer asking HIM if there was anything I should do about the house.  I felt God was showing me to lower the price of the house and put it "on special sale" for one week.  Which I did immediately.  The house sold in 2 days at the special price in late March 2020.   Then a series of events happened:  * The buyers backed out. * The realtors who had represented the property said they thought it was time for us to part company and they left us. * I found another realtor by phone and he had the house back on the market in 2 days. * The buyers who backed out returned and purchased the house again, setting a closing date for May 15, 2020. (Just like the vision God gave me in March 2019.)   There were many fears between April 18, 2020, and the closing date of May 15,2020.   I just prayed every time a fear came.   Philippians 4:5-6   6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.   7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.    Two days before the closing date, a news report came that  California colleges had cancelled fall classes at all 23 universities in their system due to Coronavirus.   (The buyers of the house in Texas were coming to work at Texas Tech University, one as a teacher in the art department.  What if the university in Lubbock cancelled their classes?  What if the buyers became fearful and backed out of the property purchase?  What if the buyers got the Coronavirus? What if a projected storm hit the house and damaged the house which would stop the sale?  Many fears along the way.)   With each fear, I prayed.    The house closed on May 15, 2020, as planned.  The mortgage company wired the buyer's loan money to the ministry bank account.    It was over!    It had been a rather long struggle, almost 1-1/2 years.    But all along the way, God had provided all my needs.    * Pam Padgett (member of body of Christ) did so much work in the needed things in sale of house in Texas.   She had to arrange for all the repairs shown by the inspection ... and she had to get paper evidence showing we had arranged and had paid for specific repairs!   I'm totally unequipped to do these things. Pam has the gifts from God to do such.   Pam was also able to read contracts and work out details.   Again I am helpless in such.   Pam coordinated everything by phone and computer and spared me from worrying over anything. It was amazing.   I did basically nothing ... except pray when I was concerned over those potential threats which I heard through newscasts. I'm glad I stayed informed over what is going on in USA and economy for it gave me opportunities to pray over each concern as that concern surfaced.   Up through the moment on Friday, May 15, 2020, when Pam learned the house money was in our ministry bank account, we both prayed over details.   I was especially praying that God would keep the buyers enthusiastic over the house. This is what God did.   The house is a good buy for these people. The wife said she was so happy they now had a place where their art works could be displayed. (As I understand it she will teach art at Texas Tech. I think her husband is also employed at Tech. They are moving to Lubbock from Colorado.)   * Wes Graham, my realtor friend in Clovis, New Mexico (USA), took time to cover many realty needs.    * Tom Mullen, my contractor for the Texas house, covered so many things even though he is currently involved in 3 major building projects in Texas. He saw that every repair deadline was met.   * Oralia, my long time housekeeper in Texas, was always available as needed, though her husband has cancer and she is constantly working with him.   Everyone came through with their respective areas of expertise.   God put everyone in place to do their jobs.   I did nothing but pray.   So after a year and a half on the market, we have no property in Texas! And all this in the midst of the most uncertain time in our lifetimes so far as this virus and the subsequent economy is concerned.   I really love living in Colorado, which God worked out for me. Also I'm glad not to be living alone at this time in life. It has been great for me here with Pam and the 2 dogs and 3 cats ... and my TV and sound system.   I hope to go forward showing God's works in our lives and how great His work and His word is.    As the apostle Paul told us:  "My God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus."  (Philippians 4:19)   Just hold onto those things God has told you while you wait by faith in that which God has said concerning the matter at hand.   James 1:5   If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

Mysti and Producer Adam chat about Adam's struggles getting food stuck to his pots and pans along with a reminder that God is present to listen every moment we need Him.

A faithful attitude inspires generous activity. Likewise, being generous toward others ignites our faith and elevates our consciousness. Napoleon Hill summed-up this spiritual truth brilliantly when he stated, “It is literally true that you can succeed best and quickest by helping others to succeed.” Generosity is a faith building activity because it nourishes our spirit enabling us to live life with open arms and a full trust. We can let go of selfishness and enjoy greater health, wealth, and happiness through vulnerability. On this episode, Darrell and Ed make it clear that affluent living is had by giving.

On this third Sunday of Advent, Father Eric Snyder preaches on Isaiah 65:17-25.

Are you tired of waiting for God to do something about a particular situation? Are you tempted to try to “help Him out?” Show Notes: ⁠Episode 12 Subscribe: ⁠My DailyBriefing⁠

Hi, I'm Matthew Adams. Today, let's explore a biblical principle that's as practical as it is profound. It's about God's attentiveness to the details of our lives, exemplified in a story from Genesis and mirrored in our everyday experiences.Scripture:"God opened her eyes and she saw a well." - Genesis 21:19, NIVThis passage from Genesis speaks volumes about God's nature. He's not just the God of grand gestures and monumental miracles; He's also present in the minutiae, the small but significant moments of our lives. The story of a couple losing their car keys in a vast field and finding them through prayer is a modern-day reflection of this timeless truth.Join us as a FAITH PARTNER with a monthly gift of just $5, and unlock your FREE RightNow Media account!

You can still enjoy a free membership.The couple had walked far across the field and back again, only to find that the keys to their car were missing. They weren't locked in the car, and they weren't in their pockets or purse. Miles away from the nearest town, the couple turned around and looked at the vast field in front of them, knowing that somewhere in the grass lay their only means to get back to civilization before dark. And they didn't know where to begin to look.They tried to retrace their steps because there was no other choice, but the situation looked hopeless. But they also knew no situation is hopeless with God, so they prayed, “Lord, lead us to the keys. Open our eyes to see them.” The woman was even more specific. “Lord, which direction should I go?” She sensed that she should concentrate on the right side of the field, so she headed in that direction. After a few minutes, which seemed more like hours, she stumbled, and in catching herself, her eyes fell on a glimmer in the grass. There were the keys. A skeptic could call it a coincidence, but to a couple who prayed, it was an answer. God had guided their steps and helped them in a time of need.Driving Points:* God's Concern for the Details:Often, we reserve prayer for life's major crises or decisions, overlooking the fact that God cares about the smaller aspects of our lives. Whether it's a missing item or a minor inconvenience, God's attentiveness to these details is a testament to His personal care for us. Like the couple in the field, we're invited to involve God in every aspect of our lives, trusting that He's interested and willing to help.* Prayer as a Tool for Divine Guidance:Prayer isn't just a ritual; it's a practical tool for guidance. When the woman in our story prayed for direction, she received a nudge towards the right side of the field, leading her to the lost keys. This story illustrates that prayer can be a means through which God imparts wisdom and guidance, even in seemingly trivial matters.* The Reward of Seeking God's Help:God often uses our challenges, big or small, as opportunities to demonstrate His faithfulness. The search for the lost keys might have seemed daunting, but it became a testament to God's provision when approached with prayer. God doesn't always eliminate our challenges, but He often rewards our persistence and faith with His guidance and solutions.Conclusion:The biblical truth that God cares about the details of our lives is not just a comforting thought; it's a call to involve Him in every aspect of our existence. From the mundane to the monumental, God's guidance is available to those who seek it.Call to Action:Let's make it a habit to turn to God in prayer, not just in crises but in the everyday challenges we face. Whether it's a lost item or a small decision, let's trust that God is willing to guide us.Prayer:Heavenly Father, thank you for Your attention to even the smallest details of our lives. Help us to remember to turn to You in everything, trusting that You care and that Your guidance is always available. Amen.This is Matthew Adams, encouraging you to see God not just in life's big moments but also in its small ones. Keep seeking His guidance in all things, and watch as He faithfully leads you, step by step. Remember, no detail is too small for God's attention. Stay blessed and keep trusting in His perfect plan for your life. Get full access to My Reasons To Believe at myr2b.substack.com/subscribe

Today we explore the question, do we want to live as someone who is right, or as someone who is rewarded? We want to be a people who don't miss the reward of satisfying God's heart.

Sometimes God calls us to action but sometimes he calls us to wait. Are we willing to be obedient and cooperate with His plan? Today on Sound Doctrine, we'll hear about how Abraham and Sarah were not so willing to wait for God's plan. Instead, they tried to help God out!

You might not find it so difficult to trust God when times are good, but how about when you're waiting on God or times are tough? And your expectations aren't met? Will you trust God then? Today on Sound Doctrine we find Abraham and Sarah in the waiting room. While they should have been trusting in God, they tried to help God out. Let's see what went down in Genesis chapter sixteen.

Whether it's in the doctor's office or in traffic, we don't like to wait! We grow impatient if we have to wait for something for 10 minutes, but imagine having to wait for something for many years! Today we turn to the story of Abraham and Sarah waiting for their promised son to arrive. After waiting for quite some time they decide to take matters into their own hands! Big mistake.

We discuss how we claim to trust God and his timing, yet often try to interject ourselves to “Help” God. Why do we do this and the consequences that come with it…

What happens when you read, pray, attend, and do everything you know how only to feel God is impossibly distant? What do we do we know God is real on a conceptual level, but struggle to connect with Him on a relational level? We discuss these questions and more in a unique, free-ranging episode.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Thursday morning, the 3rd of November, 2022, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.“For whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Romans 10:13Whoever! Now, I looked up the Oxford Dictionary to find out the literal meaning of the word, “whoever”. It means “any person”, that's right, “anybody”. It means “regardless of who”. "It is used for the emphasis instead of “who” in questions like, “Who is that?” It means “who” when talking about the individual. Whoever calls upon the name of the Lord!In Luke 8:2, seven demons were cast out of Mary Magdalene. She was a woman of ill repute, she had a bad reputation and yet Jesus saved her. Why? Because she called upon Him. In Luke 19:2, you will find the story of Zacchaeus. He was a bad man, he was stealing money from his own people. He was a tax collector and what happened? Jesus saved him. Why? Because he called upon Him.What about Peter, the big fisherman? He was a blasphemer, he used to curse and swear. He was the leader of the pack. In Luke 5:8, when he realised who Jesus was, he said, “Lord, depart from me for I am a sinful man.” You might say today, “Is there any hope for me?” Of course there is! The Lord says, “Whoever”. That is why I love Him so much. He saved me. You see, Jesus is not interested in our background. He is not interested in how well-educated or how poorly educated we are. He is not interested in whether we have a good reputation or a bad one. He is not interested in whether we are successful or whether we are a failure. He said, “Whoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Everyone who says, “Help God!” gets help. Anyone who says, “Lord, please rescue me”, experiences new life. Maybe today you have been through an ugly divorce, maybe your business has gone down, you owe people money, and you can't pay them back. Maybe you have been told by the doctor there is no hope for you because you have an incurable disease. Maybe today you are in a state of depression. The Lord says, “whoever calls upon My name shall be saved.” Now, I want to pray with you. I want to pray slowly so you can pray with me. Shall we pray together?Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, through the power of your Holy Spirit, I am calling upon You today. Please save me, save me out of my situation. I am so sorry for dropping the ball. I am so sorry for letting You down but today I want to give You my life completely, with all my problems, with all my sin, I call upon You today. Please save me, a sinner, Lord Jesus. Amen.Have a wonderful day.God bless you and goodbye.
