POPULARITY
In a season of Stillness—but I'm still here. ❤️
Can God count on you to be an MVP in His Plan? An MVP is a Christian with momentum, virtue, and poise. Momentum in your spiritual life comes from learning and applying God's Word consistently. Virtue is demonstrated through a personal love for God and an impersonal love for others. Poise is the ability to think God's Word under pressure. An MVP for God, “Retain the standard of sound words which you have heard from me, in the faith and love which are in Christ Jesus. Guard, through the Holy Spirit who dwells in us, the treasure which has been entrusted to you” (2 Tim 1:13-14). Download Transcript: https://rhem.pub/mvp-god-7c9578

Thanksgiving is a time for reflection. When asked the question why we are thankful, or what we are thankful for, we can think about things or we can think about relationships. When children are asked the question, they will often respond with things they have received like toys. However, as one matures, and we contemplate our lives, the importance of relationships becomes much more important to us. Recently, one of my best friends passed away, Otis McQueen. Otis was an anointed Bible teacher who taught me more about the Scripture than anyone else in my life. More than that, he kindled a much keener desire in my heart to know the Word in greater depth. For this I am deeply thankful. Come listen to my personal story of what I am thankful for in my life. Perhaps you can relate to some of it. In any case, I trust you will be blessed to some of the more philosophical reasons why I am thankful today in ways which had previously never occurred to me. My consciousness of deeper relationships with God my Father and deeper truths He has revealed to me in some of my mediations have motivated to dig deeper into His Word and His Plan and the future of my life as well as the future for humanity. At the beginning and end of this podcast I ask the question of my audience: Who is your Daddy? Reflect on that one question and you will discover that it will change the trajectory of your life when you find the truthful answer to that question. Your destiny is tied to the answer. Papa Tom

"Surrender is not surrendering control. Surrendering is surrendering to the Control that's already built into you."* Surrendering to The Plan that's already built into you-- His Plan that's manifesting through you. Knowing that He is among you, in the midst of you, changes you, and everything around you. You see clearly that there is no 'you'. Only Love, fully operating. Nothing happening, gloriously, perfectly. I Love you, nik p.s. My Silence is never not here for you to borrow, to match, to mimic until you see your own clearly. Relax into your own. That Silence becomes your Home. And then It becomes a home. It takes the shape of one. Listen. Support the show! ▶▶https://www.patreon.com/goodmornings *"You don't have to make things happen.

Summary Garrett Vita shares his personal experience of a spiritual battle with a demon and the powerful presence of the Holy Spirit. He describes feeling a cold presence creeping up his body and the Holy Spirit's protection and strength in the face of the demon's attacks. Garrett emphasizes the importance of faith, seeking God, and aligning with His plan. The conversation also touches on the transformation and growth Garrett has experienced in his relationship with God and the potential for leadership roles in Life Transformed. Takeaways The battle of the spiritual realm is real, and the Holy Spirit is with believers to protect and guide them. Seeking God and aligning with His plan brings peace, love, and assurance in the face of challenges. Having faith and trusting in God's power can overcome any obstacle, whether it's a spiritual battle or a difficult situation in life. Continually pursuing a deeper relationship with God leads to growth, transformation, and a greater understanding of His love and presence. Leadership roles in organizations like Life Transformed can provide opportunities for personal and spiritual development. Sound Bites "The battle of the spiritual realm is real. And the Holy Spirit is literally in you." "He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world." "There's no greater force or problem than a demon. But after that experience, it gives you reassurance that everything that you practice as a Christian is real."

When I Believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, I Believe in His Plan! Where there is chaos, there is no Plan! God's Plan for Humanity is supernatural! God's Plan for Humanity is the Sacrifice of Jesus, his son! I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. Why is it so important to believe in the Virgin Birth? The Incarnation!
Istrouma Baptist Church (BR) Mar 31, 2024 ========== March 31 | Easter at Istrouma Welcome! We're glad you've joined us today for our Sunday morning worship service! For more information about Istrouma, go to istrouma.org or contact us at info@istrouma.org. We glorify God by making disciples of all nations. ========== Connection Card https://istrouma.org/myinfo March 31, 2024 Tim Keith Mark 5:1-15 They came to the other side of the sea, to the region of the Gerasenes. As soon as he got out of the boat, a man with an unclean spirit came out of the tombs and met him. He lived in the tombs, and no one was able to restrain him anymore — not even with a chain — because he often had been bound with shackles and chains, but had torn the chains apart and smashed the shackles. No one was strong enough to subdue him. Night and day among the tombs and on the mountains, he was always crying out and cutting himself with stones. When he saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and knelt down before him. And he cried out with a loud voice, “What do you have to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you before God, don't torment me!” For he had told him, “Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!” “What is your name?” he asked him. “My name is Legion,” he answered him, “because we are many.” And he begged him earnestly not to send them out of the region. A large herd of pigs was there, feeding on the hillside. The demons begged him, “Send us to the pigs, so that we may enter them.” So he gave them permission, and the unclean spirits came out and entered the pigs. The herd of about two thousand rushed down the steep bank into the sea and drowned there. The men who tended them ran off and reported it in the town and the countryside, and people went to see what had happened. They came to Jesus and saw the man who had been demon-possessed, sitting there, dressed and in his right mind; and they were afraid. Leviticus 16:8-10 After Aaron casts lots for the two goats, one lot for the Lord and the other for an uninhabitable place, he is to present the goat chosen by lot for the Lord and sacrifice it as a sin offering. But the goat chosen by lot for an uninhabitable place is to be presented alive before the Lord to make atonement with it by sending it into the wilderness for an uninhabitable place. Hebrews 10:1-4 Since the law has only a shadow of the good things to come, and not the reality itself of those things, it can never perfect the worshipers by the same sacrifices they continually offer year after year. Otherwise, wouldn't they have stopped being offered, since the worshipers, purified once and for all, would no longer have any consciousness of sins? But in the sacrifices there is a reminder of sins year after year. For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. Matthew 27:16 At that time they had a notorious prisoner called Barabbas. Galatians 4:6 And because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba, Father!” Acts 2:23-24 Though he was delivered up according to God's determined plan and foreknowledge, you used lawless people to nail him to a cross and kill him. God raised him up, ending the pains of death, because it was not possible for him to be held by death. Romans 8:1-2 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus, because the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and death. Romans 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 10:9-10 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. Romans 10:13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” God Has A Plan. Jesus is His Plan. What is Your Plan?

A new MP3 sermon from Berean Baptist Church is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: Glory be to God for His Plan of Redemption Speaker: Tony Beck Broadcaster: Berean Baptist Church Event: Sunday Service Date: 3/29/2024 Bible: Acts 7 Length: 62 min.
Like Jeremiah who was called and assigned to an already predestined profetic office, the nature of God's call is so divine that it requires to be elevated to where God is in order to see and to have the capacity to do His will. No wonder the Lord said through Jeremiah 29:11, that He alone knows the plans He has for us. With these words, it necessitates that we first seek Him then His Plan for us will unfold. When we cultivate a relationship with Jesus then we experience the fullness of who Jesus is as we get to experience the beauty of His Plan for us; which is His perfect will...
God does have a plan. And every one of us have a part in that plan. You have a part. And no matter how small or seemingly insignificant you may feel you are, your part makes a huge difference. You may think you are being humble by staying back, shrinking to the background of life, staying out of sight, not putting yourself out there. But BECAUSE you were created by God to do His PLAN, your life won't make sense until you begin doing it.

Looking around us it is easy to get discouraged, it seems as if the temptation to despair grows with each passing day. Thanks be to God, Our Father, who knows that we need to hear a word of encouragement. Today, He wants us to hear how this is all part of His Plan, that we His co-workers in His Work of Salvation are to love and witness to His Love even to those who are enemies of the Gospel as they too have been called to be saints just as we are called to be saints. So, let us take the encouragement that Jesus and St Paul are giving us today to remain firm in hope to live out a spirit of renewal in this day and this age.
The testimony Lottie Orcutt shares about responsibility and trust is amazing. She really knows that Jesus Christ, through His Atonement in our behalf, is The Answer. The answer to what? Like, pretty much everything. The attacks on the family. The relationships are confusing. The health challenges we face. The questions people have about the Gospel. Pretty much everything can be summed up or modeled by Jesus Christ if we have trust in Him and in His Plan. Lottie has learned this. Lottie has also learned that Heavenly Father sends her messages and messengers in dream. It's a gift of the Spirit. That gift has prepared her and has carried her and has calmed her. The testimony is strong with this one!
In this episode we are looking at the teaching of Christ-Jesus and His Course in Miracles in regard to the idea of the need for rehabilitation in order to have a mind fully serviceable to His Plan. Every human mind has to learn to realize the neutral reality of the body and that it neither "lives" nor dies. We are offered to be truly helpful and remember to represent Him in all we do and participate, and that He directs us and is always with us in this rehabilitation to be healed and to heal. ◊ We are sharing A Course in Miracles as given in in the Notes correlating with — chapter 4-XI-1-end of the Complete & Annotated Edition, published in FIP-Edition as chapter 4–VII-8, and parts of the daily Lessons 294 of the Workbook — ACIM-Reflections (91) with Devavan.YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BW7yqob_Mbg
God always has a special plan for each one of us and we have to be convinced that His Plan for us will come to pass irrespective of what we encounter on our way.....
We are laborers together with God. He planned salvation to be a joint effort. He would supply the Plan and make sure all things would end up being judged according to truth. Jesus was the Savior Who initiated the Plan and reopened the portal for us to be reconciled back to the Father and to our true identity. Then comes us, the ones who are called to bring the good news of salvation to others. We have been called to work in the harvest field of souls as Ambassadors from the Kingdom of God to reconcile men back to the truth of who God is and who we are. God has included us in His Plan. He has given us a privileged place of investing our lives back into the Kingdom of God. God has made Himself vulnerable to us believing in Him and His love in order for His Plan to work. This is amazing! Most people completely miss this opportunity to labor together with the Father and the Son to bring in the Harvest and defeat the devil once and for all! Look all around you, the work, the harvest is all around you, ripe and ready. Don't miss it, or this opportunity God has set before you.

Jesus does not withdraw or change His mind about His call for us, hence consistency is required of us in order to keep the Focus and produce the desired results in accordance with His Plan for us...

Starve the Flesh – Judah Lupisella God has a plan! That may be revolutionary to some of you listening right now… for others, not so much! But, did you know that God's plan involves YOU. You are an intricate part of His Plan. If you do not live up to your end of His Plan, somebody somewhere, will go to hell. Whose fault will it be if they go to hell simply because you refused to fulfill God's Plan for your life? I don't know about you, but that is not a scenario or conversation I would like to have with God OR Jesus in the future… amen! But there are many, many people – right now – living their lives as they want to, on their terms, fulfilling the lusts of the flesh and the desire of their eyes… totally ignoring what God would have them do. That does not mean you have to be a preacher or pastor of a church or travel six thousand miles and live the rest of your life in a mud hut somewhere. Now, if that is what God has called you to do – then your time in that mud hut will be more of a blessing than you realize. But not everyone is called to do that. However, EVERYONE is called to do SOMETHING. And that is what we will be talking about today… the difference between not doing something and actually DOING something… amen. Our guest today, Judah Lupisella was living a life that could be described as a “destructive” lifestyle. And, when we make bad choices and bad decisions – usually bad things will be the result. This is what happened with Judah. I won't get into the story, he will. But let's just say that he suddenly had a “come to Jesus moment” that changed his life, his trajectory and his destiny – forever! Amen! He and his wife Gabriella have their own ministry called, “American Revival Ministries,” based out of Jacksonville, Florida. Judah also recently published an excellent book titled, “Starve the Flesh.” This book achieved the rankings of #1 in the New Release Category and the #2 ranking of Best Seller, both on Amazon. Amen! First question I always start with is this… other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Judah Lupisella?” Now, I alluded to some issues with your lifestyle way back when… can you tell us what was going on in your life and what finally brought you to your knees in front of Jesus? What calling has the Lord put on your heart that had you launch your ministry? Revival is definitely needed, more so now than at any other time in this nation's history. How are you reaching out to promote your “American Revival Ministry” goal for “all people to know that all truly matters is Jesus?” Share with us about your book, “Starve the Flesh.” Why did you write this book and why do you believe it is needful for this time right now? Are there any more books in the wings that you are working on right now? One of your goals is to “see revival come as the church is reawakened to its first Love.” Have you seen or participated yet in any of the college campus revivals that are sweeping the nation? Speaking of your book, where can someone obtain a copy of “Starve the Flesh?” I know, since it won those two awards from Amazon, it must be on Amazon, correct?

Home Church Questions • Read Esther 5:9-6:14. • Was there anything new or insightful in this message?• Was there anything you know you can or should immediately apply?• What did you struggle with in this message? What did not make sense or caused you to evaluate your own life more deeply?• How would your life personally, or the life of your family be different if you fully live out the truths in this message?• Ken presented a relatively negative picture of Mordecai and Esther based on contrasts with Daniel in similar circumstances. Do you agree with this negative evaluation? What biblical evidence is there to see them more positively?• How does it change the message of the book if we see Mordecai and Esther through a negative lens, or see them as morally ambiguous, or as role models of courage and wisdom?• Is the Bible generally more about role models or God's story of grace? What is the balance?• God is obviously orchestrating events, and yet the people of God must fight in chapter 9. What lessons can we draw from this observation?• What lessons might we learn about celebrations from this book?FinancesWeekly Budget 31,390Givng For 03/12 49,433Giving For 03/19 26,718 YTD Budget 1,192,810Giving. 1,252,222 OVER/(UNDER) 59,412 Crucifixion Dinner - April 7 | 6:30 p.m.Mark your calendars to join us on Good Friday as we remember together what Christ did on the cross through the Crucifixion Dinner.

There are some questions that are just plain difficult. One of those questions that many believers in God may wrestle with has to do with God seemingly allowing Satan to run the show. Let's face it, evil stinks and we just want it to go away. Yet, God has continued to let Satan's influence dominate our world for thousands of years! Most Christians believe God is absolutely capable of destroying Satan but begins to fall short when asked why it has not yet happened. Answers touch on God creating all of His spiritual and earthly intelligent beings with free choice, and this is a great start. The key factor in all of this is seeing HOW God gives each being a free choice and the ability to have fair and just choices. Unbelievers incapable of seeing the gospel In 2 Corinthians chapter 4 the Apostle Paul is talking about unbelievers. He describes them as incapable of seeing the gospel. Why are they incapable? In verse 4 he says they have been blinded by Satan, the "god of this world." He is not saying they blinded themselves, or purposefully ignored the gospel. He is clear that they can't see it because Satan has made it so. When Jesus spoke the Parable of the Sower and the Seed, he made a similar claim. He interpreted the birds eating the seed by the roadside as Satan taking the gospel message before it could be appreciated. Is Satan in control? Seeing both Jesus and the Apostle Paul making such plain statements about Satan's ability to control the gospel's reach can raise questions. Who is really in charge here? Why hasn't God stopped - or at least diminished - Satan's reach, especially regarding the gospel? The answers are simple. God IS in charge. Period. He hasn't thwarted Satan's influence because it is not yet time for that part of His Plan. While these are simple answers, they certainly need detailed reasoning and scriptural support to reveal their logic and harmony. Let's begin to open the door to those important details. Consider that God's continued allowance for Satan to keep on living is an integral part of His Plan to benefit ALL of His created beings. Satan's rebellion actually serves God's plan in two ways: Satan's continued existence and influence serve as an undeniable and unavoidable example of what rebellion against God's righteousness unfolds. Satan's continued existence and influence serve as the basis for testing each and every one of God's created beings. Every intelligent created being will ultimately choose to stay loyal to God's righteousness OR ultimately choose to follow the darkness of Satan. Check out our January 30, 2023 podcast, “Why Doesn't God Just Destroy Satan?” for more. We provide strong scriptural reasoning to support these two reasons for Satan's continued existence. We do this by tracing how Satan initially got the power he now abuses. Next, we trace how this power grab exactly fits into God's eternal purposes and what its end result will be. Join us for an eye-opening journey that helps us see the wisdom, power and love of God!

But it is usually through another person that he meets our needs” (Spencer W. Kimball, “Small Acts of Service,” Ensign, Dec. 1974). “I have tasted enough of the fruits of this sublime work to know that the keys Elijah restored to Joseph Smith permit our hearts to be bound and each of us linked to those of our ancestors who are waiting for our help. Through our efforts in holy temples here on earth using the authority delegated by the Savior, our progenitors receive the saving ordinances that allow them to enjoy eternal happiness” (Richard G. Scott, “The Joy of Redeeming the Dead,” Ensign or Liahona, Nov. 2012).—Talk of Him is presented by Seagull Book and hosted by Ganel-Lyn Condie and John Fossum.
God set the stars in the sky and put the sun and moon in their place. He created everything on Earth for us to enjoy and yet still beckons further towards more than we could ask for or imagine, infinitely more. We can't see His Plan without His perspective and embracing our role as caretakers or stewards of all He puts in our hands.
The word, “meta-narrative”, is a fancy sounding word describing our foundational assumptions (rarely questioned) that weave into story form in our thinking. This story --and it's particular assumptions-- influence how and why each one of us see and interpret data, events, and experiences the way we do. They affect how we see God, ourselves, our relationships, and every aspect of our lives. To grow requires that we are aware that we have meta-narratives and that we are humble and open to having them challenged as Holy Spirit leads us into all Truth. Join Pastor Larry McKnight and myself for this fascinating and profound discussion.
