Podcasts about him there

Today my 6 years old goes “Papá there is a boat” Me: “Where?” Him: “There, I can smell it” Since it was the only boat around, he could smell it from the far with zero effort. The less noise, the clearer the signal. How can you reduce noise? Which signals do you want weekly? Which ones monthly?

“Send me something good today, God, and give me the eyes to see it.”  In this heartfelt episode, author and blogger, Ruth Schwenk shares from her latest devotional, Trusting God in All the Things: 90 Devotions for Finding Peace in Your Every Day. Ruth invites us into her story of real-life struggles and opens the door for us to find God's perfect peace in the middle of it all. Ruth is a Pastor's wife, the founder of two popular blogs, and has a podcast show along with her husband, Patrick called, Rootlike Faith. Raising four children, walking through her husband's cancer, and having multiple miscarriages, Ruth was positioned to cling to Jesus and trust His perfect peace that surpasses all understanding. She inspires us all to find hope in the tomorrow and trust in His perfect plan. Grab a box of kleenex and get ready, you won't want to miss this one! Important Takeaways from Show It is not only in the big, but the little things that we must position ourselves to trust God. In the middle of our suffering is where God meets us. When we come to a dead-end, we can only cling to Jesus. Trials can be a gift as they draw us closer to esus and help us better understand His suffering. God can use our trials for the good, the good of others, and our relationship with Him There is something that happens in the hard moments, that doesn't happen anywhere else. Suffering exposes what we really believe about God and purifies our relationship with Him. We cling to the things of the world less when we cling to Him more. “Those who know your name trust in you, for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you.” Psalms 9:10 The time we spend with God today, matters for the tomorrow. When we know what is true about God, it doesn't matter what is true about our situation. Devotionals help us grow in the Lord and the knowledge of scripture Never give up if you miss a day of studying scripture and pressing into understanding- there is always tomorrow. God wants to exponentially open our understanding of who He is and what His word means. We can love and help people, but we are not their Savior. When you navigate through the unknowns, God gives us His Word to bring peace, comfort, and strength – He will meet you in those words. When you are at rock bottom, cling to God, run to God and invite Him into the situation “Those who know your name trust in you,     for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you.” Psalms 9:10 Links from Show Devotional: Trusting God in All the Things 90 Devotions For Finding Peace in Your Every Day.

If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly. 25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me. 26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. 27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: 28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. 29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. 30 I and my Father are one. 31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him. 32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me? 33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God. 34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? 35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; 36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God? 37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. 38 But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him. John 10:39   Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of their hand, 40 And went away again beyond Jordan into the place where John at first baptized; and there he abode. 41 And many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle: but all things that John spake of this man were true. 42 And many believed on him there.— — —Watch/Listen here using our Subsplash WebShare Playerhttps://subspla.sh/ht8q8czListen here on Archive.orghttps://archive.org/download/030622-pm-facebook-stream/030622PM-FacebookStream.mp3

Running to Him was an expression of her joy and love to Him- There is no other joy or gladness like this -to be brought near to Christ- - The bride then confesses- -I am black but comely- -She is speaking to the daughters of Jerusalem- - Remember, the daughters of Jerusalem -I believe- represent true believers, but their love and affection for the bridegroom is NOT where the bride's love and affection IS for the bridegroom-

EVERYTHING will be HAPPENING at ONCE —and everywhere we look, BLESSINGS ! Blessings like wine pouring off the mountains and hills.   GOD'LL make everything right again for His children in Beauty For Ashes Ministry:   “We'll rebuild our ruined cities.   We'll plant vineyards and drink good wine.   We'll work our gardens and eat fresh vegetables.   And GOD'LL PLANT US , plant us on our OWN LAND .   We'll NEVER AGAIN BE UPROOTED from the LAND GOD HAS GIVEN US.   GOD , our GOD , SAYS SO .     Our Lord saw the future   The future is good. The future is great!   God can never has anything that is less than wonderful for His children   We have a marvellous guide in the realm of His spirit   Holy Spirit hold us   We just don't need to be afraid     There is no such thing as fear     As we serve the Lord don't worry about we forget this or that.   Relax everyone as you serve Him   There is liberty. There is no fear. Perfect love cast out fear     He sees us in the righteousness of Christ   Is like a beautiful robe with white garment. Our faces are all shinning in His glory     We are in Christ   That is the most wonderful thing to Him     That is the beauty of Christ     The anointing of Jesus onto the ministry   The oil of joy for mourning   This is what Jesus came to do   The anointing oil   Jesus is in everyone of us     Isaiah 61:3   To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion,   to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning,   the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness;   that they might be called trees of righteousness,   the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.   Jesus come to set us free and we can truly rejoice in the Lord   The most powerful truth in the gospel is in the power of God unto salvation   In the good news there is something so powerful   Is we becoming the righteousness of God in Christ   Jesus the Son of God without sin came and died for us. Therefore He is able to give us this righteousness   Today He gives us the same standing as Jesus   He turned our ashes into beauty. We feel we are not good enough.     The garment of praise   The trees of righteousness   The planting of the Lord     Firmly planted rooted in His love   In His love, nothing can touch us. Nothing and not even ourselves can pluck us out of the love of Jesus     We grow to know Him more and more and there is less of us and more of Him     When we see Jesus in His glory and beauty, we know there is nothing of us.     Jesus, it takes eternity to know Him. So many aspects of Jesus. So beautiful that we will worship Him and adore Him     The anointing of Joy.   Oil is not like water. Oil is valuable   Oil - Shemen   Fat, fatness, medicament or unguent for anointing     Joy -> Cheerfulness, gladness, mirth, rejoicing   Is not the joy that depends on things to happen   This joy is from our spirit man. It is inexpressible   We cannot fake it.   The first gift to humanity, God gave Jesus     Hebrew 12, Jesus for the joy that was set before Him, He went to the cross.   The joy that was set before Him to see you and me been born again. To be able to enjoy the new heaven, the new earth.     In His heart there was a joy He was experiencing. The joy of seeing us becoming new creation.   We are all brothers and sisters in the Lord     When God created Adam and Eve, He knew he will sin and fall. Yet God already prepared for our redemption     The new creation is more beautiful and wonderful than the first Adam     God is redeeming time for us   There is still so much more to give and love   Come to Me and i will give you rest     Mourning -> for the dead   Lamentation - sorrow for someone's death     What is death   Therefore if anyone is in Christ He is a new creation. Everything of the past has died.     The past is gone for the new creation   All the past, there is no need to mourn for the past. You cannot change it.     All these has passed away.   In the new creation, everything is new!     Rejoice always. Always is always   God will turn everything into good in our lives     Death is change of address. In Christ we will be reunited again   It is not a full separation   Anything that is dead, turn into green. New life, new beginnings     Main thing is the new creation. The old things have passed away.   God does not want us to regret anything in Christ.     The pass is gone. Wash all the ashes that cling to you. Jesus has taken away all. The power of His blood has removed all and He anoints us.     Isaiah 16:3   Take counsel, execute judgment;   make thy shadow as the night in the midst of the noonday;   hide the outcasts; bewray not him that wandereth.   God chose young shepherd boy David who has the shepherd heart     Whatever your past, don't worry. God did not forget about you.     Our heavenly Father will not forget us     Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren; and the Spirit of the Lord came upon David from that day forward...     The people see Jesus. Christ in us, the hope of glory     This is he whom God has chosen.     As you do the simple faithfulness for God, it could be the simplest or the smallest thing, God has called you     It all starts with the anointing of oil     The prophet poured over Samuel's head to start the ministry     We are anointed royalty. We are sons and daughters     Whatever that is broken and messed up     Beauty of the crown, Jesus put this crown on us. The kingship anointing. He has anointed us     From there we can minister to the world     We will be able to share to this lost world who lost sight of the kingdom of God   The jews wanted a physical kingdom   Jesus came as a baby first. He came from another kingdom. He came to put back the spiritual kingdom first     To see there is a spiritual realm   The word of God began to unfold and reveal   He lives in the kingdom of God   The Holy Spirit comes upon us will never leave us     Jesus sent the Holy Spirit   The dispersion of the Holy Spirit   When we are all caught up, the Holy Spirit will be up with us     Holy Spirit is not limited by time or space     As you hear the Word of God, the person wants to receive Jesus   We will no longer be in the bondage of sin     Holy Spirit is the same like Jesus   Holy Spirit is inside us and will never leave us. It is sealed.   Holy Spirit is a Person   In us and always talking to us.   He is with us in the living Word   Men can leave us but Jesus never     Psalms 23:5   Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:   thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.     Anointing the head with oil   Anointest - become prosperous, anoint, good food   To find fat   To take away ashes   Anoint also remove ashes     Deshen -> fertility     3 meanings of Deshen are   Oil (food)   Ashes   Fertiliser     Fertilizer is a material used as food to help with the essential growth of plants, ie to give nourishment and life to the plant.     So instead of putting ashes of mourning, a symbol of death, David acknowledges that the Lord has “fertilized” his head; God has given him the nourishment for growth in his life's calling, for that which he has anointed!     He is nourishing king David for his life calling   God is going to provide for us. We will never lack   He has already provided. We will never lack   Abundance. We will have abundance. Wait for God to do. Don't stress     A king is never poor     King is rulership   He will provide everything     We are all called.   A lot of people feel not worthy to serve the Lord. All these are lies.   The moment you received the Lord, there is set apart   Some called into the limelight. Some called to serve behind the scene.     Anointing is to fertilise our head for our future     Everyone has a calling. Is the timing. The Lord has already anointed you.     Isaiah 10:27   And it shall come to pass in that day,   that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder,   and his yoke from off thy neck,   and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.   This anointing destroy the yoke     Whatever that is a burden to you in your life, this yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.     Those things that bind us, the moment we receive the anointing, we are totally destroyed     Luke 7:36-37 TPT   Afterward Simeon, a Jewish religious leader, asked Jesus to his home for dinner. Jesus accepted the invitation. When he went to Simeon's home, he took his place at the table.   In the neighborhood there was an immoral woman of the streets, known to all to be a prostitute. When she heard that Jesus was at Simeon's house, she took an exquisite flask made from alabaster, filled it with the most expensive perfume, went right into the home of the Jewish religious leader, and in front of all the guests, she knelt at the feet of Jesus.     Luke 7:38 TPT   Broken and weeping, she covered his feet with the tears that fell from her face. She kept crying and drying his feet with her long hair. Over and over she kissed Jesus' feet. Then, as an act of worship, she opened her flask and anointed his feet with her costly perfume.     Luke 7:40 TPT   Jesus said, “Simeon, I have a word for you.” “Go ahead, Teacher. I want to hear it,” he answered   In the last days many can be deceived.     Luke 7:43-44 TPT   43 Simeon answered, “I suppose it would be the one with the greater debt forgiven.”   “You're right,” Jesus agreed. 44 Then he spoke to Simeon about the woman still weeping at his feet.   “Do you see this woman kneeling here? She is doing for me what you didn't bother to do. When I entered your home as your guest, you didn't think about offering me water to wash the dust off my feet. Yet she came into your home and washed my feet with her many tears and then dried my feet with her hair.   Luke 7:47   Therefore I say to you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little.”   Luke 4:47 TPT   She has been forgiven of all her many sins. This is why she has shown me such extravagant love. But those who assume they have very little to be forgiven will love me very little.”   According to what we think He has forgiven us, is according to how much we love Him     Luke 7:48-50 TPT   Then Jesus said to the woman at his feet, “All your sins are forgiven.”   49 All the dinner guests said among themselves, “Who is the one who can even forgive sins?”   50 Then Jesus said to the woman, “Your faith in me has given you life. Now you may leave and walk in the ways of peace.”   Luke 7:50   Then He said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you. Go in peace.”     Sin is missing the mark     God is so just that He don't even allow that one black dot   That few dots cannot bring us to heaven.   That is why Jesus, 100% pure, came down to die for us   The meaning of sin is not about big or small sin   The good we don't deserve, He gives us     When we go into more understanding, the vastness and the depth.     No one can understand the depth of His love   Who are we to judge another one when God don't judge us.     Peace   Rest, set at one again   We are now made whole   Join back and made whole   Matthew 16:16   And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.   CHRIST = Anointed One   Christ the Messiah, the Son of God     Today this anointing is Christ. It is not just the physical oil   The oil symbolise the power     He is now the anointing     In Christ we can do all things   Means in the anointing i can do all things     In Christ i have no fear     God came down and touch us   When someone has Jesus, have Christ the anointed one in our heart   In the name of Jesus i am healed!   Christ has healed us   Holy Spirit hears the name of Jesus and healing manifest in our bodies   That anointing of Christ flows inside us     Holy Spirit brings anointing inside. Continue to be filled with the holy spirit     1 John 3:8   He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.     Son of God MANIFESTED   DESTROY the WORKS of the devil     Jesus in us through the Holy Spirit destroys the works of the devil   1 Peter 1:8   Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:   We don't love God by law.     REJOICE with JOY UNSPEAKABLE   and full of GLORY     Romans 14:17   for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.     Realm of God -   HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS and PEACE and JOY in the HOLY SPIRIT     Seek first the kingdom of God   You will do it when you understand how much God loves us   Permanent healing. Not just for a while     Oil of joy   Taking away the mourning   Without the shame of your past, this is the righteousness, the kingdom of God     Manifestation from spiritual realm to physical realm. Experience the kingdom of God as your reality     Pastor Stephanie went to a meeting where the Minister preached and everywhere people were laughing. He has the laughing anointing. On the last night (out of 3 nights), she prayed for God to touch her.   This minister pray for all Malaysian pastors to go forward to receive.   The minister tapped on all their heads and she was one of them and fell to the floor.     She heard someone laughed than she realised is herself!   She kept on laughing and laughing for 20 mins. She felt something has happened inside her.   She felt the pipe inside her was all stuck. Now her spirit is more open to the anointing.   Out of your belly will flow the rivers of living water!   She used to be very timid but now she can laugh and speak boldly.   The oil of joy came into her life, from that day she can laughed from inside.   She was set free!     Anointing is a touch.   Oil is a layer of protection     It is manifested. Not just in the head. You will feel the power that release the freedom   Vision of the anointing oil poured out Christ inside us and the tangible anointing of the Holy Spirit Allow the anointing of the holy spirit to flow out to destroy the yoke and bring the healing   You have peace and joy inside. Is not from your head. Is from your heart.

It wasn't the nails on the cross that held Him there. It wasn't the Roman soldiers that beat him and put a crown of thorns on him that defeated Him. It wasn't the crowd yelling "crucify him!" that put Him on that cross. It was His Love for us that place Him There.There is a video shown in this sermon towards the end, if you would like to watch the video please click on you tube link. https://youtu.be/0F4JmlzYPEo

A new MP3 sermon from Calvary Baptist Church is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: Many Believed on Him There Subtitle: Gospel of John Speaker: Pat Horner Broadcaster: Calvary Baptist Church Event: Sunday Service Date: 11/10/2019 Bible: John 10:30-41 Length: 45 min.

THE SUPREMACY OF CHRIST 2 COL. 1:18 Introduction: Jesus Christ  Image of the invisible God  Firstborn over al creation  By Him all things were created  In Heaven and on earth  Visible, invisible, thrones, powers, rulers and authorities  You name it, He created it  He is before all things, and remains eternal  In Him all things hold together  Verse 18 introduces us to three more titles 1.He is the head of the body, the church  After dealing with the cosmic significance of the Son in his eternal being  Brings us now to Christ and the church  Note the church is not described as a body of Christians  He is the head of the church, without Him the church is dead  This link between Christ and the church exists by the in dwelling of the Holy Spirit  On His resurrection day Jesus became the head of the church  On that day He breathed the Holy Spirit on them and said receive the Holy Spirit  This was for regeneration, it is a verb indicating that Jesus was giving the Spirit in order to bring forth life and a new creation  But church is the body of Christ: critical truth  That is why whoever persecutes the church on earth is persecuting Christ in heaven  When Saul was still breathing murderous threats against the Lord’s disciples, Jesus showed up and spoke to him  He did not say why are you persecuting my children, followers, my disciples  He said Why are you persecuting me  Whoever touches you, touches Jesus in heaven  Therefore learn to keep your focus, leave your battles to the Lord  Fulfill your purpose, accomplish your mandate  Don’t focus on things that will cause you to disengage  Don’t focus on things that delay you  Don’t be scared, don’t give up, don’t give in, keep the pace  The Lord is coming soon, time is running out, run, run faster  The church operates by His power  The church functions as his representatives: represent Him well  As the head of the body, the body is totally dependent on Him  As the Head He is the command center for every member in the body, and for the body as a unit  He is the command center for every activity in the body 2.He is the beginning  Rev. 22:13 Read  He is the Alpha and the Omega  The beginning and the end  There is no beginning without Him  Every beginning stems from Him  There is no end without Him  He remains Jesus even at the end of everything 3.He is the firstborn from among the dead  This is about His rank  He died and He rose again  But Lazarus rose from the dead  So did Dorcas and Eutychus  They were resuscitated but He was resurrected  The difference between resuscitation and resurrection  With resuscitation the person keeps the same body and therefore will die at some point  With resurrection, there is a new and different body  According to 1 Cor. 15  The perishable body is raised imperishable  The body sown in dishonor is raised in glory  A body sown a natural body is raised a spiritual body  When Jesu comes, some will be transformed and some will be resurrected, but for the church, we shall all be like Him  Why: Rev 1:17-18. He is alive for ever and ever What does it mean for the church, His body  God placed all things under His feet and appointed Him head over everything for the church  Which is the body, the fullness of Him who fills everything in every way  The fullness of Christ resides in His body  The church, by virtue of it being the body of Christ, may partake of all that Jesus Christ is and possesses  This for the purpose of continuing His mission and ministry in the world  The Holy Spirit helps us to reproduce the life, ministry and mission of Jesus Christ  We function as the representatives of Jesus Christ  And now God has kept you and I alive on earth and alive in Christ  Re commit yourself to this cause  Re dedicate yourself to his plan, his mission and his mandate  Lord lif

In this sermon we explore Genesis 15:1-6 and we dive deep into what it means that God granted Abram His righteousness when Abram believed the promise of God. Later on in Biblical history the apostle Paul would use an idea from this passage to show that the only way that anyone can have a relationship with God is to receive God's very own perfect righteousness by faith. As you listen to this ask yourself the following questions: What is faith and what does God do for us when we believe in Jesus? How good does someone have to be for God to accept them? How hard do you have to work to get to heaven? Do you have a relationship with God? Why do we love God and do things for Him? There is a lot of good news shared in this message. Dive deep into it and contact us if you have any questions. You can visit us at hopegatesville.com and email us at hopegatesville@gmail.com.

I The seven thunders roll, shaking up the world, rending through the sky, changing heaven and earth. Piercing is the sound. Where can man run and hide? Heaven and earth are changed by thunder and lightning. Man lies dying. A fierce storm rolls in across the universe, fast as thunderbolt; heavy rain pours in. Each corner of the earth is bathed in this storm and nothing impure remains, oh. The whole world is washed and nothing unclean stands. Who can hide from the stormy rain? Oh, oh. II When destruction comes, all enemies will fall, defeated helpless into the raging torrent. They're swiftly taken to their deserved end, defeated hopeless, rushed away to their death. The seven thunders roll. God's purposes are clear. Evil will be punished with gusts of weeping. Some wake from their dreams, ponder their wicked schemes, only to hurry back to the foot of God's throne. They don't hesitate, hurry to God's throne. They do not indulge in their deceit and crime, but repent just in time. God is righteous and God is loving and God is merciful, oh. God is trustworthy, He's God of majesty. Someday the earth will see, oh. God is a burning fire. God is a burning fire. He'll show no mercy, when judgment is in His path. III From His royal throne God gazes down, searching deeply into hearts and minds, saving all those who seek after Him, sincerely seek after Him. Whoever loves God above other things, knows God's heart with understanding, follows Him all the way to the end, God will save him eternally. IV The seven thunders roll all throughout the earth. Man gets salvation and comes to God's throne. They seek to survive in the light of life, come worship and bow down to God Almighty! The seven thunders roll, lightning flashes down, proclaiming to one and all judgment has begun. He who speaks not his heart, who's doubtful and careless, and refuses God's will, judgment surely awaits them, awaits them! God is righteous and God is loving and God is merciful, oh. God is trustworthy, He's God of majesty. Someday the earth will see, oh. God is a burning fire. God is a burning fire. He'll show no mercy, when judgment is in His path. V Let the whole universe know the truth, Almighty God is the only God worth bowing to. Who can fight against God or oppose Him? There is none who can judge or revile Him. Every heart and tongue will be allegiant. Every nation will surrender before God. Today and tomorrow and eternally, they will bow down to God forever! They will bow down to God forever! They will bow down, they will bow down, they will bow down to God forever! from Utterances and Testimonies of Christ in the Beginning

God wants us to follow Him: - There are many observers, but not many followers - There are many believers, but not many followers - There are many fans, but not many followers - There are many visitors, but not many followers - There are many beneficiaries, but not many followers God is looking for followers, Only those who follow Christ on earth can follow him in eternity.  Unless we follow Him, we cannot lead others to follow Christ. 

It is common for people to look for ways to display who they are. For example, someone could have a car decal of where they like to vacation, or of what causes they support, or of little stick figures of their families. Many people get clothes showing that they are part of the fanbase of a particular sports team. In this story, God gave Abraham an outward sign that communicated and demonstrated their relationship. Did you ever stop to think that there may be an outward sign Jesus commanded of all Christians to boldly and unashamedly proclaim their relationship to Him? There is a sign. This ancient symbol helps us always remember what God has done to transform us.

Have you ever noticed that Jesus says one needs to count the cost of following Him? There is the cost of self-denial and the cost of denial.

Why did God create us? Just to serve Him? There's more to it than that.

Overview: The Things Of This World Are Passing Away Day By Day. Matthew 24:1-3. In our message today we read about how the disciples of Jesus come to Him to show Him the very humanly impressive buildings of the temple. Jesus causally tells them that not one stone shall be left here upon another, so telling them that what they thought was so impressive, was not important to Him at all. Why wasn’t Jesus impressed by these beautiful manmade buildings of the temple that the disciples were so excited to show Him? There were several reasons why, and I discuss all of them in my sermon titled, The Things Of This World Are Passing Away Day By Day. May God richly bless you as you seek Him Pastor Ed
