This week's Torah Reading draws our attention to the realities of humanity's rebelliousness against Yehovah and His Ways, and rebelliousness mars the Creator's image in His human creation.
2 Kings 13:14-1914 When Elisha was in his last illness, King Jehoash of Israel visited him and wept over him. “My father! My father! I see the chariots and charioteers of Israel!” he cried.15 Elisha told him, “Get a bow and some arrows.” And the king did as he was told. 16 Elisha told him, “Put your hand on the bow,” and Elisha laid his own hands on the king's hands.17 Then he commanded, “Open that eastern window,” and he opened it. Then he said, “Shoot!” So he shot an arrow. Elisha proclaimed, “This is the Lord's arrow, an arrow of victory over Aram, for you will completely conquer the Arameans at Aphek.”18 Then he said, “Now pick up the other arrows and strike them against the ground.” So the king picked them up and struck the ground three times. 19 But the man of God was angry with him. “You should have struck the ground five or six times!” he exclaimed. “Then you would have beaten Aram until it was entirely destroyed. Now you will be victorious only three times.”God's Perspective leads my heart to trust and directs me towards obedience.Obedience to God's instructions will be met with God's partnership.The Heavenly perspective seeks to accomplish the Will of God.God's Will can only be accomplished by HIS Ways and through HIS Strength.The target we're meant to hit is living with His perspective while working on His priorities.

Pastor Alexander continues identifying several RESULTS of Radical Obedience. Thus far we’ve discovered if we are abiding in Radical Obedience, we will RECIPROCATE the LOVE we RECEIVE from God; because we LOVE God, His WAYS will become OUR ways; and When Jesus is IN us, THEN SIN is CONQUERABLE. In today’s study we will learn about exceeding JOY that is given to the one who will abide in Radical Obedience. We will also be reminded that we are called to become His instruments of Grace. For that to happened we must get involved and lovingly and graciously extend the hand of Jesus.

13 “If my people would only listen to me, if Israel would only follow my ways, 14 how quickly I would subdue their enemies and turn my hand against their foes! 15 Those who hate the LORD would cringe before him, and their punishment would last forever. 16 But you would be fed with the finest of wheat; with honey from the rock I would satisfy you.” (Ps 81:13-16)If only I had listened to God. The decision I made that I knew in my heart-of-hearts was not the Lord's will. If I had only read God's Word and sought Godly counsel, things may have turned out differently. Psalm 81 sounds like it is set in the midst of a national festival, possibly the Feast of Trumpets or the Feast of Tabernacles. The first few verses explode with energy, music and joyful shouts of celebration, commemorating the ancient stories of God's powerful rescue of a people from slavery in Egypt. But then a mystery voice cuts the moment. The scene was only a dream, a memory, as if a sleeper has awoken to a harsh reality. Those days are long gone. God did do those things, and the sleeper remembers what the Lord said at the time: “8 Hear me, my people, and I will warn you— if you would only listen to me, Israel! 9 You shall have no foreign god among you; you shall not worship any god other than me” (Ps 81: 8 – 9)The one rubbing his eyes from sleep hears more from the Lord, spoken years later:11 “But my people would not listen to me; Israel would not submit to me. 12 So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts to follow their own devices” (Ps 81: 11 – 12). It is a frightening thing for the Lord to give people over to their stubborn hearts, to follow their own devices. The reality of life for the one remembering and writing this psalm is that he and his family, and his nation, are exiles, held captive in a foreign land, a punishment inflicted by the Lord for continuous disobedience and the worship of false gods. The Lord is a forgiving God, but he never lets us escape from the consequences of our decisions. Human beings can be stubborn and, if we are honest, that includes you and me. Even as believers, we might sometimes pay more attention to our emotions and the spirit of the age than the Word of God. The mystery voice reveals the heart of our God, “if my people would only listen to me”. The Lord wanted His people to be fed with the finest of wheat and be satisfied with honey from the rock. Today, He still wants the best for us. Life. Beautiful, purposeful life with an eternal celebration of relationship with the Father through faith in Jesus, within the bounds of His Word and His Ways and under the protective umbrella of the Lordship of Christ. “If my people would only listen to me”.
God reigns. God rules. God is in control. So why do we struggle so much when plans don't go as hoped or when evil seems to triumph? We gather to be reminded that: God is both our King and our Father, but we often don't understand His Ways, God is loving, wise, powerful & just… His actions are perfect, and Nothing alters God's plans… including our weaknesses. Pastor Rick spoke this message at CrossPoint Church.
Pastor Mathew Oommen speaks from Isaiah 55:8, 9 and Jeremiah 29:11 titled His Thoughts & His Ways
To have one's name written in the “Lamb's Book of Life” outweighs anything that holds any temporal value in this world and its fleeting vanities and carnal enticements. It is an eternal reality that strengthens the heart of a child of God with equipping power to face all of the obstacles, trials, and difficulties that are coming against us in this critical hour in the earth, and which are accelerating as the Prophetic Word of Truth unfolds before our very eyes.There are eight references in the New Testament to the “book of life,” and two of them refer specifically to the book of life that belongs to the Lamb of God, Jesus the Christ.In this Podcast, we will cover all eight, as well as, delving into the Doctrine of Predestination which while being disputed by some, is clearly confirmed in the Holy and inerrant Scriptures of the Bible. We will find that when looking to God's Word line upon line, precept upon precept, a little here and a little there, the doctrine of Predestination becomes very understandable without compromising the free will of man, or in any way presenting the Lord God as being unfair. For He is All-Knowing and Perfect in all His Ways! And His Love and Mercy endure forever!Support the Show.Visit our website: https://agapelightministries.com/
Welcome to part FOUR of this Theology Matters Series. Today I take time to answer the question: how does theology affect discipleship and your relationships as a Christian woman? There are two primary areas I focus on during this episode: discipleship [how you intentionally or unintentionally disciple others] and accountability in your relationships [specifically your relationships with other Christians]. I also touch on culture, more specifically the postmodern era and how to navigate postmodern ideology as a Christian; illustrations of poor theology impacting your ability to properly disciple other Christians; and the affect your theology has on your life and witness to those who are not Christians. In this episode, I reference a few resources: Who Needs Theology: An Invitation to the Study of God by Stanley J. Grenz & Roger E.

Message audio from April 14, 2024 entitled "His Ways | our ways" from Steve Bishop
Welcome to this month's series… THEOLOGY MATTERS! If you've been craving a deeper dive into theology, this series is one you don't want to miss! I'm so excited to dive into the topic of theology, why it matters and how it affects our everyday walks as Christian women. In today's series intro, I'm going to answer the questions: What is theology? Why does theology matter? Do we need theology to grow as Christian women? Throughout this series, I'll introduce some topics that, I believe, are crucial for all Christian women to consider and confidently grow in. I'll end today's episode with an intro to the topics we'll cover throughout the rest of the series and give you a little sneak peak into who you'll be hearing from and what we'll be discussing during this month's series. Please be sure to share today's episode with your friends, family, small group sisters and any other women who will enjoy growing deeper in the knowledge and understanding of the triune God and our Christian faith.

In this episode, Pastor Cindy encourages us to understand the power and authority we have to partner with God's timing. Our obedience positions us to experience God's move and when we are living in step with Him we are able to see time. God is looking for His people to be ready for great and mighty moves that will be released through our hands. We have the privilege of shifting time through acts of courage. Through listening to and obeying the voice of the spirit. We need to move past only seeing in the natural — and open up our eyes to see in the Spirit. This is about being able to see and activate the Will of God by moving the needle of time from the future to the NOW. This ability will only be entrusted to the people WHO KNOW THEIR GOD, are OBEDIENT to HIS WAYS, and FOLLOW HIM WHOLEHEARTEDLY. THE PEOPLE WHO KNOW THEIR GOD SHALL BE STRONG AND CARRY OUT GREAT EXPLOITS. Scripture reference: Proverbs 25, Gal 6:9, 1 Chronicles 12:32, Daniel 11:32-33, John 2:1-5, John 4, Matthew 10:5, Matthew 15:38, John 4:7-15, Nehemiah 8:1-3, 5-6, Proverbs 24:3-6, Proverbs 24:13-14.

The Thirst Conference is a four day event focused on spiritual renewal and revival. Whereas man cannot fabricate revival, God can use intentional moments to spark revival in His church and The Church. This is the hope of the Thirst Conference, that God would use it spark your next "yes" to Him. In this fifth session on October 10, 2023, revivalist Steve Canfield talks about God's Will in relation to His Ways. This is an important distinction. You will never embrace the Will of God until you understand the Ways of God. Message looks at Isaiah 40, Hebrews 12:26-28, and John 12:24.
We are the ones God elects to use for his work in his world. Yet this world is not of His Ways...What do we do? Pastor Andrew Heald provides perspective on purposeful living. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/fairmount-friends-church/message

You Can Trust in Him and His Ways (8-13) Romans 9:7-8 and not all are children of Abraham because they are his offspring, but “Through Isaac shall your offspring be named.” 8 This means that it is not the children of the flesh who are the children of God, but the children of the promise are counted as offspring. Proverbs 3:5-8 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. 6 In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. 7 Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord, and turn away from evil. 8 It will be healing to your flesh and refreshment to your bones. 3.

Pastor Jim and Lori welcome Pastor Mark Cowart back for Day 2 of their conversation about what is going on in the world today and how we as believers can be in “The Army of God Rising!” We must stand against the things happening all around us that are against the Ways of God. The indoctrination of our children through the public education system, the media that they are saturated with, and the lack of knowledge and understanding about God and His Ways, are crushing American culture! Pastor Mark says, “Our nation has forgotten God…and we are showing ourselves as a post-Christian nation.” Find out how the Bible encourages us to “Finish Well.” Pastor Mark shares how Lester Summerall taught him about the important stages of life, and that “our latter years are supposed to be our most productive years of our lives!” Grab your coffee and your notepad; you're not going to want to miss the program today!

God wants us to bear fruit and flourish as we delight ourselves in His Ways.
Drew Bennett | Mark: Walk in His Ways
Drew Bennett | Mark: Walk in His Ways
We know salvation (sozo) is by grace through faith, and a gift, not of works (Eph 2:8-9). All of the promises of God are included in that word (appearing 110 times in the NT). So we receive them all the same way--entering the rest of receiving by grace through faith--and so we are also to live, in His power (Romans 5:17, Romans 8:37, 2 Cor 13:4, 1 John 4:9) and not by our own strength.The OT types of entering God's rest: - Israelites going from wilderness to Promised Land:- God's grace provided it, but the first generation failed to add faith (Heb 4:2). Psalm 95:7-11: God laments that they would not enter His rest because they knew His works but not His Ways, leading to an evil heart of unbelief (Heb 3:12, 19) and hardened hearts (Heb 3:15). - So knowing His ways is the key to entering His rest. Caleb's example: Joshua 14:7-15.- When they did finally go in, they still had a battle (though God fought for them and promised them victory): Hebrews 4:8-10- The type of the Sabbath: - Hebrews 4:4, quoting Genesis 2:2- Exo 20:11: God made this the 4th of the 10 Commandments (right after no Gods before Him, no idols, and not taking His name in vain)--so rest is key. (All the rest of the 10 Commandments were about how people were to interact with each other)- Blessings associated with keeping the Sabbath: Isaiah 58:13-14- The Heptadic calendar: - Week of days – Shabbat (sabbath): the day of rest- Week of weeks – Shavout - Week of months – the religious year- Week of years – the sabbatical year or the shmita year: when the land was to rest- Seven weeks of years + 1 – Jubilee year: when slaves/captives were to go free- Is it possible that God used the heptadic calendar, and structure throughout scripture of 7s appearing everywhere, because He intended to emphasize rest?- But it was always just a type, not about actual works on the Sabbath: Matt 12-1-12We can't achieve righteousness through our own works--the harder we try, the worse we get (Romans 7:15-20). This is meant to drive us toward giving up (Romans 7:22-25) and receiving righteousness/life from the Holy Spirit, who literally imbues our bodies with it (Romans 8:1-11). This isn't just about righteousness, or about receiving God's promises (2 Cor 1:20). Our "identity in Christ" also gives us the strength, energy, stamina, courage, etc to do what He has called us to do. - We "reign in life" through Him (Romans 5:17)- We were raised in Him to bear fruit to God (Romans 7:4). This includes love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Gal 5:22).- You can't bear these if you're burned out. "contentions, outbursts of wrath" are rather fruits of the flesh (Gal 5:20) which are consistent with burnout. If the fruit is negative, we're living from our own resources (flesh), not His (Spirit).- We are full of goodness and complete in knowledge (Romans 15:14).- We are enriched in every way (1 Cor 1:5).- We have the mind of Christ (1 Cor 2:16).- All things are ours (1 Cor 3:21).- His power is in us (Eph 1:19) - the word eis translated for or toward can also be translated in. Also Eph 3:20- We are competent and can be confident (2 Cor 3:4-6)- We can serve others from God's strength (2 Cor 13:4)- We have every blessing in the spirit realm (Eph 1:3)- God created good works for us to do, which we do in Christ (Eph 2:10)- We have grace and peace in abundance (2 Pet 1:2)- We have power, love, and self-discipline/sound mind (2 Tim 1:7)- We have everything we need for life and godliness so that we may participate in the divine nature (2 Pet 1:3-4)- Examples: - 1 Cor 15:10: Paul labored from God's grace- Jesus still went out on the boat, but slept through the storm (Matt 8:23-27, Mark 4:35-41, Luke 8:22-25). We still labor, but plugged into His power source: - Heb 4:4, 11: we are to be diligent to enter His rest, and we enter by believing (Heb 4:3). Faith without works is dead (James 2:17-18) but the "work" is believing- Heb 12:1-2: run with endurance the race set before us, with our eyes fixed on Jesus, the joy set before us. Keeping our eyes fixed is how we lay aside the weights that entangle (deceitfulness of riches, desire for other things, Mark 4:19), and how we run with endurance (otherwise we'd collapse)- We give Him those weights that might entangle/burdens: 1 Peter 5:7- When we're weary, He will give us rest (recharge us): Matt 11:28-30- The Jews had swords to fight the giants. We have the sword of God's word as our weapon (Heb 4:12) which we use to resist the devil and demand what's ours (but remembering that the devil is defeated already, Col 2:15, Heb 2:14, which is where the rest comes in:)- Luke 18:1-8

In Part 2 of our current Study entitled “The Stage Is Being Set!” we will continue with our coverage of some of the many Prophetic precursors that are indicating that we are on the precipice of the appearance of the Antichrist and his “New/One World Order” that he will temporarily reign over during the Tribulation Period.Man thinks he is orchestrating these plans, but it is the Lord God Who is over all. And as His Prophetic Word of Truth unfolds with divine timing and precision accuracy, there is a Holy separation that is taking place between the wheat and the tares. True Believers are being readied to be taken up to Heaven's safety before the wrath of God befalls this darkened and rebellious world, but in our waiting, it is important that we not neglect our calling as ambassadors of His unadulterated Word of Truth. For we can get so caught up in our expectancy of His Coming for us that we lose sight of those things that we are yet called to do in His Name as we shine His light of Truth into the darkness of this fallen world.We must trust His timing, and the Holy Spirit's leading that will keep us in a state of readiness, but will also keep us focused on Him, with equipping power as His witnesses of Salvation's Holy Mandate to the lost. Now is the time to stand strong on His Word, Beloved, and to not allow discouragement or doubt to have its way with us. For genuine Faith – the Faith that alone pleases Him - is trusting Him in all things, and at all times, knowing that His Ways are Perfect even as He is Perfect, and that we are safe in Him.Support the showVisit our website: https://agapelightministries.com/

The post Statutes & Judgments 20 – “Walking in His Ways” appeared first on Cross Connection Church.
In this hectic world, how can we invite Christ's presence into our lives? Does the discipline of having a time in the day set aside for pursuing Him really work? Called by various names: quiet time, devo, sacred time, we're sometimes overwhelmed with the thought of it. How can we find the time, prepare ourselves for that time, and what tools are helpful? Our conversation will cover the big question of a quiet time and how despite challenges, it is actually achievable!
