A good number of people today hear the message of Christ and reject Him with prejudice and hostility. But that doesn't make His Words less true, or absolve them of the responsibility for going down that road. Today we'll be reminded that God is real, and ignoring Him doesn't make Him disappear.

Richard Hardin's: Prayer Can Change God Sometimes! So Pray! Amazon.com/Richard-A-Hardin/e/B09J2YHCVB, RAHardin, POBox 45684, OKC, OK 73145. **I will be sharing today about one of the confused topics that is being taught on false beliefs and misuse of the Scriptures, for God will actually change many times as a result of our prayers(talking to God). I will read many Scriptures that show God changed because of someone's prayers, and He even sometimes changed just in His Mercy. Our image of God is very serious because it determines how we choose to relate to God. The only way we can relate to God and be pleasing to Him is through His perfect Word to faith, Heb11:6---Faith only comes by hearing God's perfect Word without any changes by us in any way. We must hear, accept, and obey whatever is God's Pure Word for us to receive faith. Any change to God's Word and He will not back up what we are claiming, or speaking. We are ambassadors and must not change His message, His Word, in any way when we teach or confess His message, Proverbs 30:5-6, “Every Word of God is Pure: He is a shield unto them that put their trust in Him. (6) Add thou not unto His Words, lest He reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.” We are found to be liars if we add to or take away from His Pure Living Word, Christ, because God will not back up our word, only His Pure Word, Christ.****Today, I will share with you that God sometimes actually change things if you will talk to Him with an honest, open mind and heart. I will share two areas in our lives that God has limited Himself to not know about us. If you listen in you will see that both areas are a very special blessing to us. I am going to give you the Scriptures and the only way to be pleasing to God is to accept the Scriptures by being open like Saul (who became the Apostle Paul) was when Jesus told him that he was wrong and was persecuting Jesus. Paul accepted and the first thing he said was, “Lord what would you have me to do.” Just because you have never heard of two areas in our lives that God doesn't know, if it is in the Scripture, you need to be open to believe and receive them into your heart to faith. I'm not telling you the Scriptures here because I want you to take the time to hear the Scriptures! Sat on @KLRNRadio.com.
We all know the letter kills, but the Spirit is life. We talk about being in the Spirit. Jesus even stated that His Words were Spirit and life. We all have some vague idea of what that means, but I don't know if I've ever heard anything that made that terminology meaningful to my life. One thing we do know is; if the law is just the letter, it kills, but if the law is of the Spirit, it gives. But the law itself doesn't change. Understanding this subtle difference between letter and Spirit will make a substantial difference in our ability to hear the voice of the Spirit and follow His direction. Join me this week as we explore The Spirit of the Law and what that means to our lives!
Web Description: Why do we believe as we believe for Israel and for the Jewish people? Because God said to. This is a Scriptural mandate to the Gentile Church that we comfort His people and be part of what God is doing to restore the Jewish people to their land. On this foundation we stand and pray with an intense focus that God will end the current pattern of division and violence within Israel and fulfill His Words over His people right now before our eyes. Show Notes: As we enter into the time of the Fall feasts, I believe there is an urgent need for prayer that is focused on Israel and the Jewish people, and I am making a request to you for intercession during this time. The reason is because of a deep burden on my heart. It concerns me that Israel is being affected and impacted by the same spirits of anger and division that are devouring many nations on the earth. At this moment in Israel we are seeing protests over judicial reform that almost bring cities to a halt and stop the normal flow of function. There is also a great deal of division manifesting between ultra-Orthodox and Orthodox Jews. There have actually been proposals floated to break up Israel into two Jewish states. In addition we see new levels of violence beginning to take place within Israel, not just between Jews and Arabs but especially against Christians. According to His Word and His promises, the purpose that God has for Israel is not to fall into the world's pattern but instead to be an example and an illustration that the world should follow. And we need to pray with a renewed intensity and determination that we will see with our own eyes the fulfillment of those Words. Our faith for Israel and the Jewish people is not based on current events, but because God has made a covenant by the oath of Himself to the nation and people of Israel. And He uses this relationship He has with them to prove Himself to all the earth. Key Verses: • Jeremiah 31:33–36. “This is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel.” • Ezekiel 36:22–23. “The nations will know that I am the Lord … when I prove Myself holy among you.” • Numbers 14:15–17. “The nations … will say, ‘Because the Lord could not bring this people into the land which He promised.'” • Ezekiel 36:24–30. “I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you.” • Isaiah 24:5. “The earth is also polluted by its inhabitants.” • Ezekiel 11:17–20. “I will give them one heart, and put a new spirit within them.” • Jeremiah 32:38-41. “I will give them one heart and one way.” Quotes: • “Do we love the Jewish people? Yes. Do we see the benefit of Judaism in its relationship to Christianity and what it provides for us as believers? Absolutely. But the foundation that we are building everything upon is the Scriptures themselves.” • “These blessings that God is proclaiming are solidified before God. They are a covenant. They are His Word that He has given that these Words will be fulfilled. They will take place before our very eyes.” • “Will there be a judicial reform? Yes, there will, because they will walk in His statutes and His ordinances and be His people. And that will manifest, because, again, it is part of the promise that God has made to Israel.” Takeaways: 1. We need to determine with an intensity that we are going to see the Words over Israel fulfilled before our eyes. They are not for another generation. We cannot put them off to sometime in the future. This is a prayer of urgency. We are praying now that we see these Words fulfilled now. 2. Remember that Christian support of Israel must be born out of obedience in faith to the Word of God and not rooted in Israel's actions. Whatever is happening now, it does not change our stance, our faith, and our determination. 3. The ultimate fulfillment of the Word is God glorifying Himself, not just before Israel, but before all of the nations of the world. That is the end game. That is what we are looking to see. Therefore our prayer is, “Lord, glorify Yourself through the fulfillment of your Word.” Amen.

Christianity must clean up its confused, mixed-up beliefs to be Ambassadors of God's Pure Word, for God will only back up His Pure Word, Proverbs 30:5-6, "Every Word of God is Pure: He is a shield unto them that put their trust in Him. (6) Add thou not unto His Words, lest He reprove thee, and thou be found a Liar!"****Teachings of faith and grace are filled with error and confusion. And, calvinism's (Reformed Theology) election and predestination is a lie of the devil to deny the work of Jesus on the cross. Ephesians 4:4 states that we should have one Spirit, one Body, one faith..." Mathew 25:41, Jesus states, "Then shall He (the King) say unto them on the left hand, 'Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels..." People go to hell and the lake of fire because they personally reject Jesus, not because God has predestined them to go to hell before their birth. And 1 Timothy 2:4, "Who (God) will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth." We must each make a personal choice to receive the Spirit of Jesus(Christ) into our hearts! And after we do we will be held accountable to our Lord and Savior to share with others about the great Grace He has paid for on the cross for each of us! The Apostle Paul says for us to not receive the Grace of God in vain, or don't keep it to yourself as a secret! Share with others and especially with each family member. Get each to share their changed heart salvation experience, don't just hope they are saved just because they are nice and go to church, that is deadly. on @KLRNRadio.com 7AM Tue #GPWF #Christian or rahardin.com (Pods)
Richard Hardin's GPWF: Mercy, Grace, Charity, -(Works Of God!) Three of the most important words in the Bible for Christians to understand! -- -My Books: Amazon.com/Richard-A-Hardin/e/B09J2YHCVB will clarify Mercy, Grace and Charity!***It may surprise you but Mercy, Grace, and Charity are not different kinds of Love! They are ways that God Who is Love comes to us and relates with us. For example: The Water that comes to your house from the main city water line is divided up when it gets to your house and goes many different paths; to the bath tub, commodes, to the kitchen sinks, to the refrigerator, to the hot water heater, etc. Now when you have a problem and want to identify it to the plumber you say the commode water won't flush, or the hot water heater is not heating, the bath water will not turn on, and identify to the plumber the area of problem. The water is the same in all these areas. Mercy, Grace and Charity are the same Love of God (God), and it is God (God is Love) working or moving in different ways to us or thru us, but it is the same Spirit of God in all cases because we only have one God and one Spirit of God! Charity is the same actions of God working with or in people which is described differently by the Apostle Paul who says "faith that worketh by love" which would be the same as a Christian accepting God's call (Word) into their heart, and obeying God's call to teach, preach, witness etc., and God going and working with the Christian in their heart to confirm His Words thru the Christian to the other person(s) heart and supply the needs.

My books address errors taught that hinder us from being able to understand and respond correctly to God by Faith: "Choose Faith and Grace", "Mercy,Grace, Charity" and "Choosing Faith With Love." Responding correctly to God is the only way we can please God. Heb 11:6 and Prov 30:5-6, -"Every Word of God is pure: He is a shield unto them that put their trust in Him. (6) Add thou not unto His Words, lest He reprove thee, and thou be found a liar." God only backs up His Pure Word. If you claim healing or anything else based on a false interpretation of His Word, He will not back it up because He only backs up His Pure Word. Many people are standing on their ministers' false beliefs and have not taken the time to check out what the Bible says because the preacher sounds so good and has a Theology Degree. Did you know the preachers only go to the "Christian" seminaries to "learn how to preach the Bible according to their chosen denomination," not to learn God's Pure Word! Amazon.com/Richard-A-Hardin/e/B09J2YHCVB "Choosing Faith With Love" is a collection of the sermons I gave at El Reno Federal Correction Center, El Reno, Oklahoma during 30+ years I volunteered there. My last book is "God's Pure Word --Christ Our Judge"**My books may change your life when you see the correct info in them. If you love your family, you need to read my books. I am not in business to sell books, check the low prices. I am doing what I can to clear up false doctrines that I know are being taught in our society. Errors cause God to get blame for things the devil does and people miss God's great salvation. God is being blamed for not caring for our hurts when we have personally opened the door to the devil and closed the door to God without even knowing it.

BIBLES? Is YOUR Personal Bible 'God's PURE Word'? If Not? What would or should you do?My Books: Amazon.com/Richard-A-Hardin/e/B09J2YHCVB, rahardin.com-- Podcasts****Richard Hardin, POBox 45684, OKC, OK 73145.****BIBLE? Proverbs 30:5-6, (KJV), “Every Word of God is Pure: He is a shield unto them that put their trust in Him. (6) Add thou not unto His Words, lest He reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.” We must base our Salvation and daily walk with God on God's Pure Word, if we expect God to back up His promises of salvation, protection, provisions, health and all of the other promises to us. If we do not have His correct Words of Salvation, we will be found a "liar" as above and without salvation. If we are “standing on false, incorrect promises,” we will be disappointed in God when our desires are not fulfilled and as the above Scripture states, “we will be found a liar” because God will not do what we are claiming or asking of Him. Basing our belief, trusts, or “faith” on error, false teachings, or anything other than God's Pure Word, Christ, has caused people to give up on God after tragedies happen because they felt let down by “God,” and it has caused many to turn completely from God. .***The fact that we have hundreds of denominations or groups (each based on the “Bible”) teaching many opposite beliefs about God, and over 26 major copies of the Bible (because some scholars thought they could do better than the previous translators), and even differences in some of the original manuscripts---should kinda give you a clue that we should be more concerned about our Spiritual condition and seeking God's Pure Word even if most preachers do stand in the pulpit, raise their copy of a "Bible" and scream they believe every Word of it. Preachers mainly go to Bible Schools to study how to teach their denominational beliefs and stay away from “controversial” or different beliefs of others. We, you and I, are not receiving God's PURE Word from the ministers across our land. And you may say I am not teaching it either! But the seriousness to you is that when you stand before God, what will matter is have you taken the time to SEEK the truth, God's Pure Word, for yourself? I am not perfect, but I want to encourage you do better than our “spiritual leaders” across our country. Your family and friends need you!

If you are a believer, you have received a spiritual gift from God. If it is not a speaking gift, then it is a serving gift. If you don't know what your gift is, start with serving and go from there. Your area of gifting is the place where you will need Him the most, not the least. If it is a speaking gift, you will be desperate for His Words; if serving, you'll be desperate for His strength. Finally, don't be a grouch in your serving. Make sure your attitude and your tongue are on board. Bewithme.us and follow on instagram: https://instagram.com/mjsm1th?igshid=MjEwN2IyYWYwYw==
Joshua BoydDisciples show fruit. That is the sign. Not how many years you have been a believer. Not because your parents took you to church as a child. It is when you produce results in the Kingdom. John 15:99 “I have loved you even as the Father has loved me. Remain in my love. 10 When you obey my commandments, you remain in my love, just as I obey my Father's commandments and remain in his love. When we remain in Him and His Words remain or reside in us, then we are His disciples. What we say and do reflects our progress. Another indicator of someone who is maturing in their walk with God watching their reaction to opposition and disagreements. This is important and the Word has commands for us when we are opposed. Your reaction to opposition determines your growth.

So, if Paul is commanding us to walk in wisdom, how do we do that? The answer to our question is that the Spirit empowers us to walk in wisdom. In verses 15-17, Paul lifts up “making the best use of the time” and “understanding the will of the Lord” as examples of wise, Spirit empowered living. To me, both of these things sound nearly impossible. How in the world am I supposed to make the best use of the time in such an evil day, and how does one know the will of the Lord? Here's what we need to understand about this passage. As Paul is contrasting wise living with foolish living, he is giving us specific examples of what it looks like to live wisely - making the best use of the time and understanding the will of the Lord. To do those things, is wise. To not do those things is foolish. So to understand Paul's commands here, we need to understand some of Paul's thoughts about true wisdom. I think that it is abundantly clear that Paul teaches that true wisdom is found in Jesus Christ. Colossians 2:3 says that, “Christ, (is the one) 3 in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. In the Son are hidden ALL of the treasures of wisdom. True wisdom is seeing all of life from God's perspective, and we know the Father through the Son. In Ephesians 1, Paul prays earnestly to God that those reading his letter would be given “the Spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of (God the Father).” It is through the revelation of God in Jesus Christ - God the Son incarnate - by the power of the Spirit, that we can know true wisdom. In contrast to the true wisdom revealed in Jesus Christ by the power of the Spirit, foolishness is revealed in the fleshly living of those who do not know Christ. 1 Corinthians 1:18-25 says, “18 For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 19 For it is written, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the discernment of the discerning I will thwart.” 20 Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? 21 For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God through the folly of what we preach to save those who believe. For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men. 4 These verses reveal that the wisdom of all the earth is not sufficient on its own to cause anyone to truly see God, and because of this the wisdom of the world is really no wisdom at all. As people, we either have wisdom in Christ or we do not have true wisdom. This walk in true wisdom that Paul calls us to in verses 15-17 is only possible for those who are sealed and empowered by the Holy Spirit. For those of us who are followers of Christ, we used to walk in this world as those who were blind to the wisdom of Christ. Though we could see with our earthly eyes, our spiritual eyes were unenlightened by the powerfully, piercing light of the gospel. But, through faith in Jesus Christ our eyes have been opened to the glories of gospel truth, and we can now walk in true wisdom. If you are here today, and you do not know Christ, our collective prayer is that the Holy Spirit would open your eyes to the true hope that we have in Jesus. Please believe in the Christ who died on the cross, defeated sin and death in His resurrection from the dead, and ascended on high in order to carry out this glorious exchange - blindness for sight, foolishness for wisdom. Application: To those of us who believe, how do we make the best use of our time in this evil day? We, in the power of the Spirit, continue to drink more deeply of the gospel of Jesus Christ. How do we know the will of the Lord? We, in the power of the Spirit, follow the way of Christ. How do we walk wisely? We walk wisely in the power of the Spirit who unites us to Jesus Christ. For some of us, walking wisely will look like taking opportunities to evangelize at the playground with the other moms. For others, walking wisely will look like mowing the grass of a widow in our church. Boys and girls who are in here, what do you think it could mean for you to walk wisely? Maybe for you, it would be something as simple as putting away your toys the first time that your parents ask. 5 For all of us, though, walking wisely will look like obeying the commands of Christ through the power of the Spirit in whatever opportunities lie before us. As we move to verse 18, we're going to see that not only is the believer's walk in wisdom empowered by the Spirit but we will also see that the believer's walk is empowered by the fullness of the Spirit. In verse 18, Paul lays out one of the most crucial commands of the book of Ephesians when he says, “be filled with the Spirit.” Because the fullness of the Spirit empowers our growth in holiness, we dare not live the Christian life without dwelling deeply on the doctrine of the Holy Spirit. As we seek to follow all of the commands of Scripture, it is the fullness of the Spirit that enables us to grow in obedience. As we examine this command in verse 18 to be filled with the Spirit, I'm not going to spend much time on the prohibition of drunkenness. While it's a sin to be drunk, and I would sternly condemn drunkenness, Paul's main priority in this prohibition is to contrast drunkenness with the filling of the Spirit as his central command. So, unlike the hyper fundamentalist churches that I grew up in, who usually only focused on condemning alcohol with this passage, I'm going to spend the majority of my time with this passage focusing on what it means to be filled with the Spirit. There are thousands of things that we should not be filled with, but the emphasis here is that we should be filled with the Holy Spirit. When we come to the command to be filled with the Spirit, there are several questions to answer to grasp the topic of filling with the Spirit. The first question that we must answer is “what is fullness with the Spirit?” Because every believer is indwelled by the Spirit at conversion, we must first understand that the fullness of the Spirit is not the initial indwelling of the Spirit. While the Spirit certainly intends to fill the vessel that he indwells, the command to continue to seek the fullness of the Spirit indicates that we are speaking of further growth in the Spirit beyond the initial indwelling of the Spirit. 6 Along the same lines, we must realize that Paul is assuming that the believers he is writing to in Ephesians already have the Spirit, and that they are sealed by the same Spirit. Paul's use of the phrase “filled with the Spirit” is different from the sealing or indwelling of the Spirit. Throughout Scripture, the filling of the Spirit can be explained in three broad categories. I'm drawing from John Stott's wonderful little booklet, Baptism and Fullness as I explain this to you. If you can, get this booklet to help as you seek to engage more thoroughly with the doctrine of the Holy Spirit. Of the three broad Scriptural categories for the filling of the Spirit, the first is that, in Scripture, the fullness of the Spirit is used to refer to the normal characteristic of every dedicated Christian. We see one example of this in Acts 6:3 as the Apostles were choosing deacons. It says, “Therefore, brothers, pick out from among you seven men of good repute, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we will appoint to this duty.” It's clear here that these men were to be characterized as being full of the Spirit before they were ever chosen for service as deacons. Certainly, fullness of the Spirit should be normal for the growing, faithful Christian. Secondly, the fullness of the Spirit refers to a special foundation for a particular ministry or office. An example of this would be in reference to John the Baptist from Luke 1:15 which says, “15 for he will be great before the Lord. And he must not drink wine or strong drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother's womb.” Even in the womb, John the Baptist was filled with the Spirit for his special ministry of being the forerunner of Christ. Thirdly, there are occasions when the fullness of the Spirit is given to equip people not so much for special, lifelong ministry as for an immediate task. An example for this comes from the martyrdom of Stephen in Acts 7:55 which says, “55 But he, full of the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God.” As Stephen was martyred, the Spirit filled him to be able to boldly proclaim Christ and to endure suffering. So, what is the fullness of the Spirit? I believe that in the context of this passage and the broader categories of Scripture that fullness of the Spirit refers to the characteristic pattern of the believer's walk being strongly influenced by the Spirit rather than being strongly influenced by the flesh. 7 In contrast to the way that being drunk causes one to be so influenced by the alcohol that they turn to all kinds of uncontrollable actions, being filled with the Spirit means that a believer is so strongly influenced by the Spirit that their life results in the controlled actions of the fruit of the Spirit. The second question that we must answer when it comes to the filling of the Spirit is “how can I be filled with the Spirit?” To answer this question, in the clearest way, I think that we must turn to the teachings of Jesus. In Luke 11:13, Jesus says, “13 If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!” Fullness of the Holy Spirit is something that we must relentlessly and humbly ask the Father for. The Father's desire is for His children to know the fullness of the Holy Spirit, yet so often we do not ask our Father for the fullness of the Spirit. Why don't we ask the Father for the fullness of the Spirit? For some it's because we've never understood what the fullness of the Spirit even is. For others, it's because we're afraid of the dangerous excess and lack of Scriptural foundation of some strains of modern day Pentecostalism. For most of us, though, we do not ask the Father for the fullness of the Spirit because we do not believe in the urgency of the spiritual battle that we are in Christian brothers and sisters, we are at war! While victory is guaranteed through the work of Christ on the cross, Satan still has a foothold in our flesh, and our self-sufficient, proud hearts are all too eager to turn away from the battle for holiness. We must battle this incredible tension that we experience in this age of the “already but not yet - this time between the inauguration and consummation of Christ's kingdom - by the fullness of the Spirit! Because of the constant war with our flesh that we face as believers, it is only through the filling of the Spirit that we can see true, lasting, increasing victory over sin and holiness in our lives. 8 Do you want to conquer sin through the fullness of the Spirit? Ask God to fill you with his Spirit. It is through this empowering work of the Spirit that we can see true victory as we live in obedience to the commands of God. The second teaching of Jesus that helps us to answer our question “how can I be filled with the Spirit” is found in Luke 7. Verses 37-39 say this, “37 On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and cried out, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. 38 Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.' ” 39 Now this he said about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were to receive, for as yet the Spirit had not been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.” In this passage, Jesus stands up and paints a picture of one who thirsts in a way that only Jesus can satisfy. Those who are separated from Jesus are parched, dry, and panting for water, and Jesus bids them come to Him so that He can quench their thirst. Only those who drink of Jesus will have the thirst quenching satisfaction of a mighty river of living water. But what is this living water? Verse 39 tells us that the rivers of living water are the Holy Spirit. Fullness with the water that is supplied by Jesus is fullness with the Spirit. Application: If you desire to be full of the Spirit, you must drink deeply of the waters that flow from Jesus Himself. Savor Him. Worship Him. Fill your mind with His Words. Oh church, may we never tire of Jesus. May we go to Him time and time again for the rivers of living water, and in doing so, Lord, may we be filled with your Spirit anew. As we move on to the next verses in our passage, we can see that they answer the question “what are the marks of being filled with the Spirit,” and the answer is that fullness with the Spirit empowers the believer's walk in worship. One of the primary identifiers of one who is filled with the Spirit is that they participate in true worship. Verses 19-21 are some of the most powerful verses on worship in the New Testament because they are so deeply connected to the role of the Holy Spirit in empowering our worship. As we look at these verses, we must note that these verses clearly highlight the Godward as well as the corporate aspects of worship in the church. Verses 19 and 21 address the corporate aspects of our worship as Christians. 9 It's no mistake that Paul notes one of the first marks of being filled with the Holy Spirit is addressing or speaking to one another in a way that propels our worship. Now, when Paul says that we ought to address one another in “psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs,” he is not implying that being filled with the Spirit means that we can only sing at each other as our primary means of communication, even though, as a church family, we often do encourage one another through our sung worship. What Paul is trying to press home here is that the content of our communication, our addressing of one another, whether sung or otherwise, should be filled with the same mingling of truth and emotion that is found in the greatest songs of the Christian faith. What makes great Christian music such an important part of the historic Church? It is the unique blending together of emotion and truth that binds our hearts to each other and to God in singing. Just as our music ought to convey both emotion and biblical truth, so too should all of our conversations with each other cause emotional, truthful worship to be taking place. The second corporate aspect of worship that Paul addresses in these verses as a mark of being filled with the Spirit is found in verse 21. Paul says that we should be submitting to one another. I believe that local churches are the greatest, most tangible displays of the gospel in our world, and I believe that a church that truly grasps living together in mutual submission provides one of the greatest apologetics for Christ in our present day. In a time of polarization due to politics and in a day where genuine connection with others is lacking due to the commonality of online interactions, a church that lives in the unity and connection that comes from mutual submission to each other will help the world to see what true worship looks like. Additionally, there's nothing that inflames the worship of a church more than unity in the gospel manifested in mutual submission. In verses 19 and 20, Paul also addresses the marks of fullness in the Spirit that are displayed in Godward worship. 10 One of these marks is the giving of thanks to God always and for everything in the name of Jesus Christ. The giving of thanks in everything is a God glorifying act of worship, because it is a right response to the truth about our sovereign King. What could be more God glorifying than responding to God's self revelation in His sovereignty over all things with true, heartfelt thanks? While there's genuine evil in this broken, sinful world, and we must not be ones to call evil good and good evil, we can rest confidently in the fact that only in Christ Jesus can “…all things work together for good…” Application: Cling to this promise my dear brothers and sisters and let this promise propel you to give thanks to God in everything as an evidence of the fullness of the Spirit in your life. The final mark of the fullness of the Spirit that Paul mentions here is singing that is directed to the Lord and is done with the whole heart. As I mentioned earlier, the combination of emotion and truth in singing is something that has united the church for centuries, and we get to join in this chorus of all ages when we sing here at church, in our homes, and on our ways to work. While many of us do not have the greatest of voices, I hope that you know what it means to engage in singing with all of your heart for the glory of God alone. Sing out church, because in doing so we are offering pleasing sacrifices to the Lord himself. As God's new covenant people, we are, as it says in 1 Peter 2:5, “a holy priesthood, to offer sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.” Application: In our singing, we offer, as a body, acceptable worship to God. And, each and every one of us has a part in that. Our worship team should never be the primary worshippers of Faith Community Bible Church on a Sunday morning. Our elders should not be the primary sacrifice offerers. The guitars and drums should not be the primary instruments of praise. The primary worshippers of FCBC on a Sunday morning should be you, the priesthood of believers, using the instrument of your voice to lift praises to God in Christ Jesus with all of your heart. 11 That is evidence of the fullness of the Spirit empowering your walk in worship. Conclusion: If you remember the story about being lost that I told you at the beginning of this message, well, obviously we eventually found the path. The problem, though, was that we still had a ton of miles left to walk even after we had spent all that time wandering in the woods. Eventually we made it to the end of the hike, though, and it felt so good to reach our final destination. Finally, we could rest! The Christian life is a lot like this arduous hike. It's no short jaunt. It's a long walk of obedience in the power of the Holy Spirit. Because of this, I believe that it is incredibly important that each of us leave here today with a deep understanding that our walk as believers is empowered by the Holy Spirit. In all that comes in life, let us, as followers of Jesus, seek the fullness of the Holy Spirit which empowers our walk. In the parenting of a stubborn teenager, only the Spirit's power can cause you to speak words that He carries to their heart. In the death of your dearly loved ones, only the Spirit's power can enable you to see the hand of a good God at work in every aspect of their life and death. In all of the transitions and changes that our church has experienced, only the Spirit's power can keep us worshiping with white hot passion that displays God's glorious gospel to the rest of the world. In the words of Psalm 95, and in earnest desire for the filling of the Holy Spirit, I say to you Faith Community Bible Church, “Oh come, let us sing to the Lord; let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation! Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving; let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise! For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods…Oh come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the Lord, our Maker! For he is our God, and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts…”
God's Great Special Protections --My Books: Amazon.com/Richard-A-Hardin/e/B09J2YHCVB ****Today I am going to show that many times God's people had to have the nerve to speak out His Words of deliverance, then God worked in the lives of His people to protect or deliver them from the hands of the enemy. When we speak some words expecting God to back them up, the Words we speak must be God's Pure Words (Christ) and we must have our heart "fairly" pleasing to God. Like for example, 2 Cor 2:10-11 says to forgive others lest you give the devil advantage. Eph 4:26-27 says to not go to bed angry and give place to the devil. In 'The Lords' Prayer' we ask God to forgive us as we forgive others. So, even as Christians we must keep our fellowship with God better than just going to Church and sometimes carrying a Bible. Also, Proverbs 30:5-6 states God will not back up His Word we have changed or false beliefs just because we are serious and truly believe them in our mind and heart! Proverbs 30:5-6, "Every Word of God is pure: He is a shield unto them that put their trust in Him. Add thou not unto His Words, lest He reprove thee, and thou be found a liar." God will only back up His Pure Word! Everything else is a lie and He will not back it up! That is why it is so serious that we all seek God's Pure Word from all the errors being taught in the religious community by groups who profess exactly opposite beliefs and the many differences expressed in the major 26 versions of the Bible. With all these differences in the wording of these versions and the many teachings of the thousands of preachers, we each are left with a great responsibility for seeking God for His Pure Word and like Jesus said we must become able to hear God's voice like sheep following their shepherd.

If we do not have His correct Words of Salvation, we will be found a "liar" as above and without salvation. If we are “standing on false, incorrect promises,” we will be disappointed in God when our desires are not fulfilled and as the above Scripture states, “we will be found a liar” because God will not do what we are claiming or asking of Him. Basing our belief, trusts, or “faith” on error, false teachings, or anything other than God's Pure Word, Christ, has caused people to give up on God after tragedies happen because they felt let down by “God,” and it has caused many to turn completely from God. .***The fact that we have hundreds of denominations or groups (each based on the “Bible”) teaching many opposite beliefs about God, and over 26 major copies of the Bible (because some scholars thought they could do better than the previous translators), and even differences in some of the original manuscripts---should kinda give you a clue that we should be more concerned about our Spiritual condition and seeking God's Pure Word even if most preachers do stand in the pulpit, raise their copy of a "Bible" and scream they believe every word of it.

EVERY CELL HEARS YOUR WORDS Kenneth Copeland April 16, 2023 · If you are interested in staying young, listen very carefully to what I'm going to say, because I will reveal to you the secret of how not to grow old, and it is not only effective, but also fully consistent with Scripture. Gloria and I have experienced it and live in the results it brings. I feel better today than I did twenty years ago. I have such good eyesight that I can still fly jet planes. I have good hearing. I don't take any medications, and I don't have time to get sick. I'm too busy preaching around the world and enjoying life with Jesus. Psalm 103 says that our YOUTH is RENEWED. You can say, "Brother Copeland, that's a commendable attitude. But you know how it really is. In the end, we all get old and tired. It's inevitable." No. I refuse to agree with such statements. In fact, I haven't said anything like that in the last forty years. And not because I didn't have a reason to say so. There have been times in the past when it seemed like my whole body was screaming at me that it was aging and wearing out. There were days when my back was telling me about it, and my knees were telling me about it, and my head was telling me about it. But when they did, I didn't sit listening to them. I answered! I quoted these scriptures from Psalm 103: "Bless the Lord, my soul, and do not forget all His benefits. He forgives all your iniquities, heals all your ailments; He delivers your life from the grave, crowns you with mercy and bounty; He fills your desire with blessings, your youth is renewed like an eagle" (verses 2-5). I told my body: "Listen to me! I'm not an old man! My youth is renewed like an eagle. This is one of my advantages as the son of God. Moreover, Genesis 6:3 says that a person's days on earth should be 120 years, so I'm in the prime of my life!" I have said such words every day for decades. Why? Because I know that when I do this, every cell of my body hears them. My bones hear them. My ligaments hear them. My heart hears them. My liver hears them. My eyes and my ears hear them. And they REACT to them because I didn't come up with these words myself. They came from my Heavenly Father. These are His WORDS and His POWER in them. He told them to me through the Bible and quickened them for me with the Holy Spirit, and when I say these words, He supports them with His power and fulfills them. Don't listen to what the world is telling you about this. If you continue to listen to them, then eventually you will say what they say, and this is what the devil wants. He wants to catch you so that at the age of thirty you start saying that you are getting old. Every time you forget something, he wants you to say, "Yes, I've heard that first of all memory is lost. Ha ha ha!" It's not funny! This opens the door for the devil to enter your life. When you say what he says, you give him permission to do things and fulfill these negative words. So don't do that! If your body is attacked by a disease and it tells you that it will take your life, do not agree with it and do not repeat what it says. Tell that disease to shut up! Then tune in to God and say what He says about you. And He says something completely different. He says, "By the stripes of Jesus you are healed" (1 Peter 2:24). Kenneth Copeland

Richard Hardin's: Prayer Can Change God Sometimes! So Pray! Amazon.com/Richard-A-Hardin/e/B09J2YHCVB, RAHardin, POBox 45684, OKC, OK 73145. **I will be sharing today about one of the confused topics that is being taught on false beliefs and misuse of the Scriptures, for God will actually change many times as a result of our prayers(talking to God). I will read many Scriptures that show God changed because of someone's prayers, and He even sometimes changed just in His Mercy. Our image of God is very serious because it determines how we choose to relate to God. The only way we can relate to God and be pleasing to Him is through His perfect Word to faith, Heb11:6---Faith only comes by hearing God's perfect Word without any changes by us in any way. We must hear, accept, and obey whatever is God's Pure Word for us to receive faith. Any change to God's Word and He will not back up what we are claiming, or speaking. We are ambassadors and must not change His message, His Word, in any way when we teach or confess His message, Proverbs 30:5-6, “Every Word of God is Pure: He is a shield unto them that put their trust in Him. (6) Add thou not unto His Words, lest He reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.” We are found to be liars if we add to or take away from His Pure Living Word, Christ, because God will not back up our word, only His Pure Word, Christ.****Today, I will share with you that God sometimes actually change things if you will talk to Him with an honest, open mind and heart. I will share two areas in our lives that God has limited Himself to not know about us. If you listen in you will see that both areas are a very special blessing to us. I am going to give you the Scriptures and the only way to be pleasing to God is to accept the Scriptures by being open like Saul (who became the Apostle Paul) was when Jesus told him that he was wrong and was persecuting Jesus. Paul accepted and the first thing he said was, “Lord what would you have me to do.” Just because you have never heard of two areas in our lives that God doesn't know, if it is in the Scripture, you need to be open to believe and receive them into your heart to faith. I'm not telling you the Scriptures here because I want you to take the time to hear the Scriptures! Sun on @KLRNRadio.com.
