Podcasts about his spirit

This week, I'm sitting down to answer questions from The Village fam about faith and friendships! I'm answering everything from learning how to love people well when they're not walking with God, to discerning if it's really the Lord speaking, or just our emotions.This conversation is honest, vulnerable, and rooted in scripture. We also talk about what it means to steward godly friendships through prayer, and why following Jesus doesn't exempt us from suffering, but instead gives us hope in the middle of it.If you've ever struggled with navigating relationships, or holding on to faith through trials, this episode is for you. Share this with a friend who needs the reminder that God's love is steady, His Spirit still speaks, and His presence is with us, even in the hardest seasons.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Life today is overflowing with constant noise and endless responsibilities — from work demands to family schedules, to the never-ending stream of emails and notifications. It’s easy to feel stretched too thin, constantly pulled in competing directions. In today's devotional and prayer, Heidi Vegh reminds us that the key to balance isn’t found in managing every detail perfectly, but in surrendering our days to God. Matthew 6:33 calls us to seek first His Kingdom — to make God our priority before anything else. When we start our mornings with Him, we allow His Spirit to order our steps, giving us peace in the middle of chaos. Balance doesn’t mean doing everything; it means doing the right things, with God’s guidance. Sometimes His answer may be to rest instead of striving, to connect with a friend instead of checking one more task off the list. When we make room for holy interruptions, we find the kind of balance our souls truly crave. Today's Bible Reading: “But first and most importantly seek (aim at, strive after) His Kingdom and His righteousness (His way of doing and being right attitude and character of God), and all these things will be given to you also.” – Matthew 6:33 (AMP) Key Takeaways Balance begins with priorities — seeking God first each day. Surrendering control allows God to redirect our days according to His will. The Holy Spirit provides gentle nudges and guidance when we feel overwhelmed. True balance comes not from doing it all, but from living aligned with God’s purposes. Let’s Pray Lord, life is busy and overwhelming, and I need balance. I surrender my plans, to-do lists, and ideals into Your hands. Guide me with Your Spirit, reminding me to start each day with You. Show me what to lay down, what to pick up, and how to create space for rest. Thank You for caring about every detail of my life and for promising to order my steps when I seek You first. In Jesus’ name, Amen. Calls to Action Start your morning tomorrow with a Scripture reading and prayer before touching your phone. Ask God throughout the day: “What’s the next right thing?” and trust His nudge.

What role does the Holy Ghost (or Holy Spirit) really play in a believer's life? In this episode, Bryan and Layne explore how Mormonism, the Book of Mormon, and the Bible describe the work of the Spirit—and why those descriptions matter.--The Unveiling Mormonism podcast pulls back the curtain on Mormon history, culture and doctrine.

But in practice, that “confirmation” is not enough—modern Mormonism teaches you also need prophets, temples, ordinances, and authority.The contrast in the Book of Mormon – Interestingly, passages like 2 Nephi 32:5 and Moroni 10:4-5 describe the Holy Ghost much more like the Bible does: as sufficient to lead believers into all truth, without extra rituals or institutions.The biblical picture of the Holy Spirit – The Bible consistently teaches that the Spirit is given when we believe (Ephesians 1:13, Galatians 3). He permanently indwells every believer, guiding us into truth, glorifying Jesus, and assuring us of salvation. The Spirit is a He, not an it, the third Person of the Trinity.How modern LDS doctrine complicates things – Later revelations in the Doctrine & Covenants change the role of the Spirit. Instead of being sufficient on His own, the Spirit is portrayed as temporary, conditional, and dependent on temple ordinances and priesthood authority. This shift points believers back to an institution rather than to Christ.Why the simplicity of Christ matters – Both the Bible and the Book of Mormon highlight the “plain and precious” truth: the Holy Spirit Himself is enough to guide and teach.

What does it mean to be both a sheep and a shepherd? We're first sheep—dependent and in need of care. As we receive from Christ, we're called to give. Feeding others starts by feasting on God's Word ourselves.This four-part series draws us deep into the heart of our Shepherd, Jesus Christ, who calls us not only to follow Him, but to love Him above all else—and in that love, to feed His sheep. From Peter's restoration on the Galilean shore to our daily walk in homes, churches, and workplaces, we are invited to dine with Christ so that we may nourish others. Rooted in His Word and led by His Spirit, our lives become streams of comfort, truth, and encouragement to a world of wandering sheep.

God's Heart for the Nations The call to go is for every believer — fueled by Jesus' authority, moved by His compassion, and empowered by His Spirit. This message will challenge us to see the world as Jesus does and respond with obedient hearts.We'll also hear brief insights from Anil Dev Dutt and his family's faithful missional work in the villages of India.

This Sunday, we're stepping into 1 Peter 2 and continuing our journey through this powerful letter. Peter begins by showing us how love for one another is not just a command, it's the visible evidence of Christ at work in us. But he doesn't stop there. He warns us of five destructive behaviors: malice, deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander. These things sabotage our community and damage our witness. They are not simply bad habits; they're soul-level toxins that erode trust and fracture unity in the body of Christ. If we've tasted the goodness of God, we should crave the things that nourish us spiritually - His Word, His Spirit, His people, and prayer.Peter then paints a beautiful picture of who we are becoming together. Individually, we're like newborns growing in grace; collectively, we are being built into a spiritual house. Jesus, the cornerstone, is the foundation for it all. Even though the world may reject Him, and us by extension, God sees His Church as chosen and precious. Each of us plays a role in this sacred structure, and we're all priests called to offer our lives in worship. There's no hierarchy here, just one Savior, one Spirit, and one mission.In a time when the church is often criticized for its flaws, Peter reminds us that we're not just a gathering, we're being shaped into something eternal. This calling comes with a responsibility: to live honorably, love sincerely, and shine brightly in a dark world. I look forward to unpacking this with you and challenging us all to consider what kind of “spiritual house” we're helping to build. Come prayed up and hungry for the Word.

In Christ, we are no longer spiritual orphans—wandering, unwanted, or unsure of who we are. God chose us before the foundation of the world, adopted us into His family, redeemed us through the blood of His Son, and sealed us with His Spirit. Our identity is not found in abandonment or uncertainty but in the […]

In this Godcast, Jesus' question pierces the heart and reminds us that “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever” (Hebrews 13:8). And His question then; still applies today! Because His authority has not changed, His Spirit still empowers, and His mission still calls. As His disciples, we are chosen, equipped, and sent to carry His disciple making workmanship forward until our final breath. His authority is firm, His Spirit unstoppable, and His workmanship in us will always bear fruit, amen? I pray you are encouraged!  God's Word:Luke 6:46; Isaiah 29:13; Mark 7:6; 1 Samuel 16:7; Matthew 7:21; Matthew 7:28–29; Hebrews 13:8; Mark 1:34; Mark 2:10-12; 2 Corinthians 5:17; Romans 6:4; Mark 1:40-42; Colossians 1:13-14; Romans 8:1; Mark 10:51–52; John 9:6–7; 2 Corinthians 4:6; Ephesians 4:6; Mark 4:39–41; Philippians 4:7; Mark 2:5–7; Psalm 103:12; John 8; 2 Corinthians 5:18; John 7:7; Philippians 2:9-11; John 6:63; Matthew 7:24; Matthew 24:35; John 12:48; John 17:17; John 12:46-47; Matthew 5-7; 1 John 3; John 14:12; Matthew 3:8; Romans 12:2; 2 Corinthians 10:5; Psalm 51:4; Romans 6:23; Ephesians 2:10; Romans 8:29; Galatians 5:22–23; Colossians 1:10; Isaiah 64:8; Jeremiah 18; 1 Peter 1:7; Philippians 1:6; Galatians 2:20; Hebrews 12:10; John 15:16; Matthew 4:19; Luke 9:23; Mark 4:33–34; Matthew 18:4; Matthew 16:22-23; John 13:3–5; John 17; Luke 9; John 21:15–17; 1 Corinthians 3:6–7; Isaiah 64:8; John 17; Hebrews 11; Colossians 1:29-29; James 1:4; Colossians 1:15; Romans 8:29; Email: walkingtheway3@gmail.com 

In this message, Pastor Mike Jurek shares that the Bible is the key foundation for hearing God's voice. God isn't silent—He's already spoken through His Word. As we read Scripture, we become familiar with the way He speaks, making it easier to recognize His leading in our daily lives. The Bible also equips us to stand strong against deception and discern what truly comes from Him.Set aside time today to read and reflect on God's Word—try Ephesians 3:14–21—and allow His Spirit to guide your thoughts.DOWNLOAD THE SERMON NOTES HERE#HearingFromGod #BibleTruth #FaithStrong #GodsWord #GoodHopeChurchSTAY CONNECTEDYoutube: https://youtube.com/GoodHopeChurchInstagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemnFacebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn

To say we carry God's imprint means His likeness is embedded in us, His Word is written on our hearts, His Spirit seals us, and through Christ we reflect His image in the world. If you've ever wondered whether your imprint matters, listen in on today's episode as I'Wanna encourages you to use what God has already placed within you.

Acts 2:1-13 teaches that the church's power comes not from human effort but from the Holy Spirit's presence, fulfilling Joel's prophecy that God would pour out His Spirit on all people. The fire that once appeared in burning bushes and temple clouds now rests on each believer. True evidence of the Spirit's work shows in two ways: we make much of Jesus, and we bless others by sharing His transforming love.

A bad chapter doesn't mean a bad story. Prayer isn't just about where you've been. It's about moving you toward the sunrise God has for your future. Even in a valley of dry bones, His Spirit can breathe new life.

Where are you with the fear of the Lord and the comfort of His Spirit?

In his message titled “A Bold Witness” from Acts 1:4–8, special guest and BSM Director, Eric Hunter reminds us that Jesus calls every believer to live with courage and purpose. Before ascending to heaven, Christ told His followers to wait for the promised Holy Spirit, because it is through the Spirit's power that we are equipped to share the gospel. Pastor Eric highlights that being a bold witness is not about relying on our own strength, but about walking in obedience to God and trusting His Spirit to work through us. Whether in our homes, workplaces, or communities, we are called to reflect Christ with confidence, knowing that the same Spirit who empowered the early church empowers us today to make Jesus known to the world.

The Best Question Ever #RTTBROS #Nightlight The Best Question Ever"For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them." - Ephesians 2:10The other day on our ride to church, my son asked me a question that stopped me in my tracks. "Dad," he said, "when you get to heaven, what's the first question you're going to ask God?"Now, I've been asked a lot of questions over the years, but this one had me reaching for the brakes on my thoughts. I had to pause and really think about it. What would I want to know first when I finally stand before the throne of grace?But before I could even formulate an answer, my boy continued. "I know what mine would be," he said with the kind of certainty that only comes from a young heart seeking truth. "I'd ask God, 'What was my purpose?' So I could see if I lived up to what You had planned for me with the life I lived."Friends, I've heard some profound questions in my years of ministry, but I told him right then and there, "Son, that might just be the best question ever."You see, too many of us spend our lives like a duck on a pond, calm on top but paddling furiously underneath, wondering if what we're doing really matters. We get so caught up in the daily grind, the bills that need paying, the responsibilities that keep piling up, that we forget to ask the most important question of all: Am I living the purpose God designed for me?Paul tells us in Ephesians that we are God's workmanship. The word there in the original language is "poiema," which means a work of art, a masterpiece. You're not some mass-produced widget rolling off heaven's assembly line. You are a carefully crafted, one-of-a-kind creation with a specific purpose that God ordained before you took your first breath.Now, I don't think we have to wait until we get to heaven to know our purpose. God's given us His Word, His Spirit, and the gift of prayer to help us discover why He placed us here. But here's what struck me about my son's question, it wasn't just about knowing his purpose, it was about whether he had lived into it.That's the difference between head knowledge and heart application. It's one thing to know God has a plan for your life. It's quite another to surrender to that plan and walk faithfully in it, even when the path gets rocky and the destination seems unclear.As I've gotten older and hopefully a little wiser (too soon old and too late smart, as they say), I've learned that God's purpose for us isn't always some grand, earth-shaking calling. Sometimes it's as simple as being faithful in the small things, showing kindness to a stranger, or raising children who love the Lord. History is just His story, and each of us gets to play our part in His grand narrative.So here's my encouragement for you today: don't wait until you're standing before God to ask about your purpose. Ask Him now. Seek Him in His Word. Listen for His voice in prayer. And then, with whatever understanding He gives you, live boldly into that calling.Because when we finally do stand before Him, the question won't be whether we had the perfect plan figured out. It'll be whether we trusted Him enough to walk faithfully in the purpose He gave us, one day at a time.Prayer: Heavenly Father, help me to seek Your purpose for my life and give me the courage to live faithfully in whatever calling You place before me. May my life be a reflection of Your workmanship, and may I hear You say, "Well done, good and faithful servant." In Jesus' name, Amen.https://linktr.ee/rttbros

Wednesday September 3, 2025XII Week After Pentecost---“The Grace That Finds Us”

The biblical feasts aren't mere historical ceremonies but divine appointments revealing God's redemptive timeline with stunning precision. Scripture shows how Pentecost's tongues of fire mirror the giving of the Law at Sinai, both occurring in multiple languages to reach all nations—a pattern most believers overlook while focusing on cultural interpretations rather than biblical patterns. God's calendar reveals that just as Christ fulfilled the spring feasts at His first coming, He will fulfill the fall feasts at His return, calling us to prepare our hearts through spiritual pressing that produces the pure oil of His Spirit before the Bridegroom arrives. ____________ VERITY METALS Convert your 401k or IRA into physical gold to protect your retirement from a volatile stock market and inflation.

“Welcome back, friends—this is Evangelist Chance Walters, and today I want to take a few minutes to talk about the Hebrew year 5786.Every new year on God's calendar carries prophetic significance, and 5786 is no different. In Hebrew, numbers and letters aren't just symbols—they carry meaning. This year, 5786, speaks of open doors, fresh opportunities, and divine alignment. I believe God is calling His people into a season of acceleration and breakthrough.Here's what I sense in prayer:5 represents grace—a reminder that everything we do must flow from God's unmerited favor.7 represents completion and perfection—God is finishing what He started in your life.8 represents new beginnings—there's a fresh wind of the Spirit opening up new paths for you.6 represents man—and this is the year God wants to partner with ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary things.So what does that mean for us? It means this is a year to step out boldly in faith, to walk through the doors God opens, and to trust that He is aligning everything for His glory. Don't shrink back, don't settle—God's grace is sufficient, and His Spirit is moving.My prayer for you in 5786 is that you experience the fullness of God's favor, that old things come to completion, and that you step into the new with courage and confidence. This is your year of open doors and divine opportunities.Stay expectant—revival is here, and the best is yet to come.”

Growing In God Podcast Title: Live by His Strength   Web Description: As Christians should we have an expectancy for less strength and less life in our physical bodies as we age? According to the Scriptures, something different is available for us. We can have the strength that comes directly from God. The Spirit of God dwelling in us can give life to our physical bodies. We need to appropriate what God has made available. Let us wait on the Lord and be renewed by His life.   Show Notes: As Christians we believe in the resurrection of Christ and the new life that is ours. But Christians grow old like everyone else and watch their strength and vigor dissipate over time until it is gone. According to the Word, we should have something different. We read in Isaiah 40 that if we wait on the Lord, we should gain strength rather than lose it. This happened for Caleb who had the same strength and vigor at eighty-five that he had when he was forty. The same was true for Moses when he was one hundred twenty years old.   When Christ begins to dwell in us, our bodies are still dead because of sin. But that does not mean we are supposed to remain in that state. It does not mean that we are supposed to believe in death and have faith that our bodies will grow weak and die. Christ being in us means that we are being reconnected to the Father, and our spirit is coming alive to the Father. And the Spirit of the Father dwelling in us will give life to our mortal bodies.   Through Christ we are plugged into God. And as Isaiah 40 states, God does not grow weary; His strength does not go away, and His vigor never drains out of Him. And when we wait on the Lord, He gives us His strength that never dissipates. Why then would we live our lives as if we were still disconnected from God like we were before receiving Christ? Do not keep drawing from the world and the world's concept of living and dying but keep appropriating the new life that Christ has made available.   Key Verses:   •       Isaiah 40:28–31. “Those who wait for the Lord will gain new strength.” •       2 Corinthians 5:17. “If anyone is in Christ … old things passed away; behold, new things have come.” •       Romans 12:2. “Do not be conformed to this world.” •       Romans 8:10–11. “He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies.” •       Galatians 5:22–25. “If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit.” •       Psalm 118:14. “The LORD is my strength and song, And He has become my salvation.” •       Joshua 14:7–12. “I am eighty-five years old today. I am still as strong today as I was.” •       Deuteronomy 34:4–7. “Although Moses was one hundred and twenty years old, … his eye was not dim, nor his vigor abated.”   Quotes:   •       “Christ is in you. But the Spirit of Him who raised Christ from the dead must dwell in you and give life to your mortal body. So this is part of maturing in God, growing in Him, moving on in the relationship and in the purpose for which He saved us.” •       “If Christ is in me, I can begin to wait upon the Lord. I can begin to connect with God in such a way that His attributes come into my life.” •       “There's no lack of vitality in God. And Moses and others like Caleb—and we see others in the Scriptures—knew how to wait on the Lord, how to draw this energy on a daily basis. They didn't do it once or twice. They lived this way.”   Takeaways:   1.    As Christians there are ways in which we are still conditioned by the world. And one of those conditionings is to believe it is okay to grow old, get sick, and die. But the reality of becoming Christian is that we have a new life, and our experience should be different than that of the world. 2.    We have Christ in us. And because we have Christ in us, we can have the Spirit of Him who raised Christ from the dead also dwelling in us. And because His Spirit is dwelling in us, life should be infused into our mortal bodies. What prevents us from having this? 3.    All that is available in God is activated when we wait on Him, plug into Him, and draw His strength and power into our lives. But we are not really getting that if we are not consistently walking that way. We need to get out of any blindness and passivity resulting from our conditioning and go after the appropriation of all His provision.

Do you ever pray about something—big or small—and then wonder if God really heard you? Maybe you’ve asked Him to heal, provide, or even just help you find your keys, and later you’ve questioned if the answer was coincidence or divine response. Psalm 123 invites us to lift our eyes to God and wait expectantly for His mercy and direction. The psalmist models what it means to watch for the Lord’s hand in everyday life, trusting that He is attentive to both our deepest needs and the smallest details. Meg Bucher reminds us that recognizing God’s answers often requires training our hearts to notice His presence—in Scripture, in creation, through friends, and even in what the world might call coincidences. God is not silent. He is merciful, attentive, and always at work on behalf of His people. Main Takeaways God calls us to pray continually (1 Thessalonians 5:17), bringing both large and small requests before Him. Waiting on the Lord means watching attentively for His mercy and direction (Psalm 123:1-2). God’s answers may come in unexpected ways—through people, circumstances, Scripture, or His Spirit’s gentle promptings. Choosing to focus on His presence protects us from being overwhelmed by the contempt, arrogance, and chaos around us. Bible Verse References Psalm 123:1 – “I lift my eyes to you, O God, enthroned in heaven.” Psalm 123:2 – Watching for the Lord’s mercy as servants look to their master. Psalm 123:3-4 – A prayer for God’s mercy amidst contempt and arrogance. 1 Thessalonians 5:17 – “Pray continually.” Calls to Action (CTAs) Subscribe to Your Daily Prayer for daily encouragement and Scriptural grounding.

In this message, Andrew draws from Exodus and the Gospel of John to emphasize God's desire to dwell among His people and the call to prepare for His presence. He explains that just as Israel was instructed to build the tabernacle so God could dwell with them, followers of Jesus are called to become living tabernacles through prayer, repentance, and devotion. Using John the Baptist as an example, he highlights the need for credible, Spirit-filled witnesses who call people to return to God and prepare for renewal. The message stresses that while revival is ultimately a sovereign move of God, His people play a vital role by cultivating prayerful dependence, consecrated lives, and readiness to receive His Spirit. The challenge is to move from complacency and polite prayers to wholehearted devotion, trusting that God's presence brings transformation to hearts, homes, communities, and society.

https://newsongpeople.com/series/hearing-god"Hearing God" Series // Pastor TonderaiGod never designed us to hear His voice in isolation—He speaks in the context of community. From the Old Testament tabernacle, to Jesus dwelling among us, to the Spirit poured out in Acts, Scripture shows us a God who is deeply communal. In this message, Pastor Tonderai unpacks how hearing God is both a personal journey and a shared mission: we are equipped with His Spirit, responsible to speak His truth, and called to walk it out together in love and humility.Discover practical ways to discern God's voice through Scripture, prophecy, wisdom, and encouragement—while learning how to posture yourself in community with gentleness, boldness, and forgiveness. Because when we listen together, test together, and act together, we more clearly hear what God is saying to His Church.Key Scriptures: Exodus 25:8, John 1:14, Acts 2, Ephesians 1:3, 2 Peter 1:3, Ezekiel 3, 1 Corinthians 13, 1 John 4, and more.#HearingGod #NewSongChurch #TonderaiBassoppoMoyo #Community #VoiceOfGod

Saul's radical transformation from persecutor to preacher (Acts 9) and Cornelius' Spirit-filled awakening (Acts 10) reveal that no one is beyond God's grace, that the Holy Spirit empowers ordinary people to boldly witness for Christ, and that God's kingdom welcomes all, regardless of background. These stories remind us that God is always at work, orchestrating redemption, and that we too come as unlikely converts made new through Jesus' sacrifice and the power of His Spirit.

If you've paid any attention to the end times prophecy found in Scripture, you'll have a hard time not seeing the parallels between what's happening in our modern world and the prophecies found there. Things are lining up in a way that can't be ignored, but many people have their own interpretations, with varying degrees of accuracy. As Pastor Ken challenges us in today's message, we need to be testing and weighing all teachings we take in against God's Word and His Spirit.

In this episode, we explore a powerful question: What is the purpose of consecration? Consecration is more than a religious act — it's about aligning with the holy nature of God. Scripture reminds us that God is holy and calls those who serve Him to walk in the same nature (Exodus 19:23, Isaiah 6:3, Leviticus 11:45, 19:2, 1 Peter 1:15–16). He Himself is the standard, and through His Spirit, He transforms us to reflect that standard — but it begins with dedicating ourselves fully to Him. We'll uncover how consecration sets us apart, cleanses us, and makes us useful vessels in the hands of God. In His house, there are many vessels, but He chooses the holy ones. To truly serve Him, we must walk in the identity Christ has given us, living as the image of God (Genesis 1:27) — because the image ruling us ultimately shapes our behavior. The holiness of God consumes all that is not holy, and consecration is His way of preparing us to stand, serve, and fulfill the purpose for which we were created. Through consecration, He sets us apart from the crowd so we can serve Him well.

⚠️ Are you protecting your faith? In Jude 17–19, we are reminded to remember what Jesus warned us about. That we need to protect our faith from the danger of being led away from God by lies, deception, and false teaching. In this message we dig into this sobering warning in Jude and see how it applies to our daily lives: How To Recognize Spiritual Danger Jude tells us there will be people who make fun of God's truth, live for their own desires, divide others, and are not led by the Spirit. These voices may come through culture, media, relationships, or even within the church. How can we identify them? How To Remember the Word The only way to recognize a lie is to know the truth. Jude calls us back to the words of the apostles—preserved for us in Scripture. We can't “remember” what we don't first know. Practical Steps for Everyday Faith • Establish a rhythm of opening God's Word in your home. • Commit to Scripture memory—individually or as a family. • Pay attention to what voices are shaping your worldview—friends, coworkers, media, music, or social feeds. Friends, the Christian life is not lived on autopilot. There is a battle for your soul. But God has given us His Word and His Spirit so we can stand firm, recognize deception, and cling to the truth.

Do we love Jesus more than anything else? Jesus' call to Peter—“Feed my sheep”—flows from a heart of love. As we return to Him from self-reliance, He restores us and invites us to dine with Him. Ministry begins with intimacy.This four-part series draws us deep into the heart of our Shepherd, Jesus Christ, who calls us not only to follow Him, but to love Him above all else—and in that love, to feed His sheep. From Peter's restoration on the Galilean shore to our daily walk in homes, churches, and workplaces, we are invited to dine with Christ so that we may nourish others. Rooted in His Word and led by His Spirit, our lives become streams of comfort, truth, and encouragement to a world of wandering sheep.

Who are you, truly? What does your heart crave, deep down? In the sixth beatitude, Jesus declares that the pure in heart are blessed—because they will see God. But what does purity of heart look like? And how do those of us painfully aware of the sin in our lives cultivate pure hearts?Tune into this episode to dig deeper into this beatitude.To explore the themes in this episode even further, here are a few reflection questions and passages to consider.Where in your life do you notice double-mindedness or hypocrisy? Seek the Lord and ask for His Spirit's help in purifying your heart. What action steps might you take to be more single-minded in this area? Read Hebrews 12:15. How does this passage relate to the sixth beatitude? What similarities in thought do you notice? How does this passage encourage and challenge you?Read Revelation 21:22-27. How does this vision of eternity stir your heart for the Lord? How does it encourage you to pursue the Lord here and now?

What holds us back from truly experiencing the Holy Spirit? Beloved Bible teacher and bestselling author Margaret Feinberg shares insights from her book The God You Need to Know, showing how the Spirit is present in both the mountaintop moments and the everyday struggles. Through biblical wisdom and her own story of faith and suffering, Margaret helps us see how God brings hope, creativity, and comfort through His Spirit. You'll be encouraged, challenged, and ready to invite the Spirit into your daily rhythms.

Are you longing for more of God's power in your life? Do you believe the Holy Spirit is still working today? In this anointed message titled “The Holy Spirit is For You,” we dive deep into the heart of Scripture to uncover God's promise of His Spirit for every believer—including YOU.Through these powerful passages, we explore how the same Holy Spirit that empowered Jesus is available to us today to bring healing, freedom, and purpose. Whether you're new to faith or a seasoned believer, this message will stir your heart and awaken a fresh hunger for the presence of God.

We tend to take our access to the Holy Spirit for granted, but as we'll be reminded in today's message from Pastor Ken, the Holy Spirit has not always dwelt with God's Children in the same way He does now. Because of Jesus' death on the cross, providing atonement for our souls, we can be made clean and become a welcome place for His Spirit to reside. Every believer has this amazing privilege – it's not just for a select few – and yet we often ignore His presence and guiding voice in our hearts.

Due to technical difficulties, the first portion of this message is pre-recorded, the final section is live. Self-control is inner strength supplied by God. Our behavior flows from our beliefs - and true self-control isn't about trying harder through willpower, but about connecting deeper to God's power and letting His Spirit transform us from within. "As a man thinks in his heart, so is he" (Proverbs 23:7).

Family can be messy, but it's also one of the most powerful pictures of what it means to belong. In this message, Pastor Jay Austin shares how God calls us to live as His children, united as one family, anchored in Christ.Through Scripture and stories, Pastor Jay reminds us that while disunity comes naturally, true unity is only possible through the Spirit of God living in us. When we live as God's kinfolk, adopted, forgiven, and filled with His Spirit, we not only strengthen each other, but also shine to a world longing for hope and belonging.Whether you've been part of God's family for years or you're still wondering if there's a seat at the table for you, this message is an invitation to experience the unity, love, and grace that only Jesus can provide.

When Jesus told His disciples He was leaving, their world was shaken—their Leader, Savior, and source of identity was preparing to go. Yet He promised a personal gift: His peace. Through the Holy Spirit, Jesus has spoken and continues to speak that same peace into our lives today. In the middle of uncertainty, problems, and daily struggles, His Spirit reminds us that God's voice brings peace, steadying our hearts even when life feels chaotic.

This message, One God & One Spirit, explores what it means to carry God's presence in a world full of idols. From Moses' commands in Deuteronomy to Stephen's bold witness in Acts, we see that God's Spirit is not tied to buildings—it dwells in His people. Stephen's life shows us that true sanctification is becoming like Yeshua, even in the midst of suffering.Learn how to live as God's temple, carry His Spirit, and align your life with His mission: One God, One Spirit, One Mission.

Fruit of the Spirit: How to Abide in Christ and Live Spirit-FilledSo many of us try to “be better Christians” by sheer willpower—but the Bible teaches a better way. In this message, Marian Jordan Ellis unpacks Galatians 5, John 15, and Ephesians 5 to show that the fruit of the Spirit is not something we produce on our own. Instead, it is the supernatural overflow of abiding in Christ and being filled with the Holy Spirit.➡️ What you'll learn in this teaching:The difference between the works of the flesh and the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5)Why “whatever fills us controls us” and how to walk under the influence of the SpiritThe secret to bearing fruit: abiding in Jesus, the true Vine (John 15)What it practically looks like to live the Spirit-filled life every dayFriend, you don't have to strive to produce fruit on your own—Jesus promised that when we remain in Him, His Spirit will empower us to live with love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

If Jesus hadn't ascended and applied the blood to the mercy seat in Heaven, it would be as if an Israelite has slain a Lamb and not applied the blood to the doorpost on the night of Passover in Egypt. If Jesus hadn't ascended, He would not have been able to pour out His Spirit from the Heavens. His ascension is critical to our covering, our cleansing, and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, and in this revelation lives an invitation for us, also, to be ascended with Him!

Grace is one of God’s greatest gifts—completely unearned, freely given, and available for us each day. Yet, when we mess up, fall short, or feel unworthy, it can be difficult to accept His grace for ourselves. We replay our mistakes, carry the weight of condemnation, and struggle to forgive ourselves. In our daily prayer and devotional, recall that the Bible reminds us that God’s grace is abundant and never runs dry. Isaiah 26:3-4 promises perfect peace for those who trust Him, while 2 Timothy 1:9 reminds us that God called us to a holy life not because of anything we’ve done, but because of His purpose and grace. If today you feel like grace is in short supply, lean on Jesus’ finished work at the cross. His grace is sufficient for every weakness and every failure. Main Takeaways Grace is unearned favor — not based on our performance but on Christ’s sacrifice. God’s Word calls us to let go of condemnation and rest in His forgiveness. When we feel depleted, we can pray for His Spirit to fill us with peace and strength. We are reminded that all have sinned (Romans 3:23), but in Christ, we live under His covering of grace. Bible Verse References Isaiah 26:3-4 – Perfect peace for those who trust in the Lord. 2 Timothy 1:9 – Grace given through Christ before the beginning of time. Romans 3:23 – All have sinned and fall short of God’s glory. Calls to Action (CTAs) Subscribe to Your Daily Prayer to receive encouragement rooted in Scripture every morning.
