Podcasts about Holy Spirit

Somebody asked the great evangelist Dwight L. Moody why he said that he needed to be continually filled with the Holy Spirit. He said, “Because I leak.” When it comes to having a passionate relationship with the Lord, we have to continually refresh our passion, because we all have a slow leak. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us see where we are in that relationship with the Lord, and take the proper steps to re-energize our faith, fervor and fidelity to the Lord.

Not Righteous Professing Christians Are "Whitewashed Tombstones" - Pretty on the Outside but Dead on the Inside MESSAGE SUMMARY: A righteousness, that comes from your being in communion with the Holy Spirit, is not like a professing Christian who is really just a "whitewashed tombstone" -- pretty on the outside but dead on the inside. Rather, followers of Jesus are called to live righteous lives, as we are instructed by the Psalmist in Psalms 37:39: “The salvation of the righteous is from the LORD; he is their stronghold in the time of trouble.". Also, Paul tells us in Romans 1:17: “For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, ‘The righteous shall live by faith.'”. In Acts 1:8, Jesus tells us, as His followers, that: “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.". In Matthew 5, Jesus tells us, as His followers, that we are different and blessed; and these blessings flow from your living a righteous life in Him. Allow the Holy Spirit to create in you a clean and pure heart.   TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, I acknowledge that I prefer to ignore and deny my pain and loss. I struggle with seeing how resurrection life can come out of death. Grant me the courage to pay attention to what you are doing, and to wait on you — even when everything in me wants to run away. In Jesus' name, amen.     Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 114). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, Because of who I am in Jesus Christ, I will not be driven by Lust. Rather, I will abide in the Lord's Perfect Provision. “I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in Me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5). SCRIPTURE REFERENCE (ESV): Matthew 5:1-48; Romans 1:17; Romans 2:13; Psalms 70a:1-12.

Friends of the Rosary: Yesterday, we reflected on our appearance in Heaven, given that God will give us new resurrected bodies (1 Corinthians 13:12). And how those resurrected bodies will be? The Holy Spirit, who spoke through the prophets in the New Testament, tells us in the Acts (Philippians 3:21) that Christ “will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.” In the mystery of the Transfiguration of the Lord, the Divinity gave us a hint of what we will be. Our old, physical body will be left behind; our new, spiritual body will be raised up. We will be like angels, with a spiritual body perfectly suited to be with the Lord forever in Heaven. Friends, our physical struggle on Earth is a prelude to the spiritual joy in Heaven, along with the Communion of Saints. The Luminous Mysteries of today advance this dimension. Ave Maria!

THE THESIS: Being informed is crucial and it can become spiritual poison. The enemy never rests. If he can't pervert us, he angers us. If he cannot anger us, he can try despair. If we remain happy, he pushes pride. But, one of his best stunts is to steal time with God. He nearly did it to me yesterday, then God seized my phone.  THE SCRIPTURE & SCRIPTURAL RESOURCES:  Matthew 28:19-20 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.

"Trinititarians are charged with at least two contradictions. First, the Father is God and the Son is God, so it seems to follow that the Father is the Son. Trinitarians affirm the premises but deny the conclusion, which seems contradictory. Second, the Father is a God, the Son is a God, and the Holy Spirit is a God, but the Father is not the Son, the Father is not the Holy Spirit, and the Son is not the Holy Spirit. This argument seems to entail that there are three Gods. Again, Trinitarians affirm the premises but deny the conclusion." Dr. Chris Tweedt helps me think through these two problems for Trinitarians and provides a novel solution to them which is compatible with divine simplicity.

6 Easter (Ascension Day) First Psalm: Psalm 8; Psalm 47 Psalm 8 (Listen) How Majestic Is Your Name To the choirmaster: according to The Gittith.1 A Psalm of David. 8   O LORD, our Lord,    how majestic is your name in all the earth!  You have set your glory above the heavens.2     Out of the mouth of babies and infants,  you have established strength because of your foes,    to still the enemy and the avenger. 3   When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers,    the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,4   what is man that you are mindful of him,    and the son of man that you care for him? 5   Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings2    and crowned him with glory and honor.6   You have given him dominion over the works of your hands;    you have put all things under his feet,7   all sheep and oxen,    and also the beasts of the field,8   the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea,    whatever passes along the paths of the seas. 9   O LORD, our Lord,    how majestic is your name in all the earth! Footnotes [1] 8:1 Probably a musical or liturgical term [2] 8:5 Or than God; Septuagint than the angels (ESV) Psalm 47 (Listen) God Is King over All the Earth To the choirmaster. A Psalm of the Sons of Korah. 47   Clap your hands, all peoples!    Shout to God with loud songs of joy!2   For the LORD, the Most High, is to be feared,    a great king over all the earth.3   He subdued peoples under us,    and nations under our feet.4   He chose our heritage for us,    the pride of Jacob whom he loves. Selah 5   God has gone up with a shout,    the LORD with the sound of a trumpet.6   Sing praises to God, sing praises!    Sing praises to our King, sing praises!7   For God is the King of all the earth;    sing praises with a psalm!1 8   God reigns over the nations;    God sits on his holy throne.9   The princes of the peoples gather    as the people of the God of Abraham.  For the shields of the earth belong to God;    he is highly exalted! Footnotes [1] 47:7 Hebrew maskil (ESV) Second Psalm: Psalm 24; Psalm 96 Psalm 24 (Listen) The King of Glory A Psalm of David. 24   The earth is the LORD's and the fullness thereof,1    the world and those who dwell therein,2   for he has founded it upon the seas    and established it upon the rivers. 3   Who shall ascend the hill of the LORD?    And who shall stand in his holy place?4   He who has clean hands and a pure heart,    who does not lift up his soul to what is false    and does not swear deceitfully.5   He will receive blessing from the LORD    and righteousness from the God of his salvation.6   Such is the generation of those who seek him,    who seek the face of the God of Jacob.2 Selah 7   Lift up your heads, O gates!    And be lifted up, O ancient doors,    that the King of glory may come in.8   Who is this King of glory?    The LORD, strong and mighty,    the LORD, mighty in battle!9   Lift up your heads, O gates!    And lift them up, O ancient doors,    that the King of glory may come in.10   Who is this King of glory?    The LORD of hosts,    he is the King of glory! Selah Footnotes [1] 24:1 Or and all that fills it [2] 24:6 Septuagint, Syriac, and two Hebrew manuscripts; Masoretic Text who seek your face, Jacob (ESV) Psalm 96 (Listen) Worship in the Splendor of Holiness 96   Oh sing to the LORD a new song;    sing to the LORD, all the earth!2   Sing to the LORD, bless his name;    tell of his salvation from day to day.3   Declare his glory among the nations,    his marvelous works among all the peoples!4   For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised;    he is to be feared above all gods.5   For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols,    but the LORD made the heavens.6   Splendor and majesty are before him;    strength and beauty are in his sanctuary. 7   Ascribe to the LORD, O families of the peoples,    ascribe to the LORD glory and strength!8   Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name;    bring an offering, and come into his courts!9   Worship the LORD in the splendor of holiness;1    tremble before him, all the earth! 10   Say among the nations, “The LORD reigns!    Yes, the world is established; it shall never be moved;    he will judge the peoples with equity.” 11   Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice;    let the sea roar, and all that fills it;12     let the field exult, and everything in it!  Then shall all the trees of the forest sing for joy13     before the LORD, for he comes,    for he comes to judge the earth.  He will judge the world in righteousness,    and the peoples in his faithfulness. Footnotes [1] 96:9 Or in holy attire (ESV) Old Testament: Daniel 7:9–14 Daniel 7:9–14 (Listen) The Ancient of Days Reigns 9 “As I looked,   thrones were placed,    and the Ancient of Days took his seat;  his clothing was white as snow,    and the hair of his head like pure wool;  his throne was fiery flames;    its wheels were burning fire.10   A stream of fire issued    and came out from before him;  a thousand thousands served him,    and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him;  the court sat in judgment,    and the books were opened. 11 “I looked then because of the sound of the great words that the horn was speaking. And as I looked, the beast was killed, and its body destroyed and given over to be burned with fire. 12 As for the rest of the beasts, their dominion was taken away, but their lives were prolonged for a season and a time. The Son of Man Is Given Dominion 13 “I saw in the night visions,   and behold, with the clouds of heaven    there came one like a son of man,  and he came to the Ancient of Days    and was presented before him.14   And to him was given dominion    and glory and a kingdom,  that all peoples, nations, and languages    should serve him;  his dominion is an everlasting dominion,    which shall not pass away,  and his kingdom one    that shall not be destroyed. (ESV) New Testament: Hebrews 2:5–18 Hebrews 2:5–18 (Listen) The Founder of Salvation 5 For it was not to angels that God subjected the world to come, of which we are speaking. 6 It has been testified somewhere,   “What is man, that you are mindful of him,    or the son of man, that you care for him?7   You made him for a little while lower than the angels;    you have crowned him with glory and honor,18     putting everything in subjection under his feet.” Now in putting everything in subjection to him, he left nothing outside his control. At present, we do not yet see everything in subjection to him. 9 But we see him who for a little while was made lower than the angels, namely Jesus, crowned with glory and honor because of the suffering of death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone. 10 For it was fitting that he, for whom and by whom all things exist, in bringing many sons to glory, should make the founder of their salvation perfect through suffering. 11 For he who sanctifies and those who are sanctified all have one source.2 That is why he is not ashamed to call them brothers,3 12 saying,   “I will tell of your name to my brothers;    in the midst of the congregation I will sing your praise.” 13 And again,   “I will put my trust in him.” And again,   “Behold, I and the children God has given me.” 14 Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same things, that through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, 15 and deliver all those who through fear of death were subject to lifelong slavery. 16 For surely it is not angels that he helps, but he helps the offspring of Abraham. 17 Therefore he had to be made like his brothers in every respect, so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. 18 For because he himself has suffered when tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted. Footnotes [1] 2:7 Some manuscripts insert and set him over the works of your hands [2] 2:11 Greek all are of one [3] 2:11 Or brothers and sisters. In New Testament usage, depending on the context, the plural Greek word adelphoi (translated “brothers”) may refer either to brothers or to brothers and sisters (ESV) Gospel: Matthew 28:16–20 Matthew 28:16–20 (Listen) The Great Commission 16 Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. 17 And when they saw him they worshiped him, but some doubted. 18 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in1 the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” Footnotes [1] 28:19 Or into (ESV)

     I have a friend who is a good man. Like all Christians, he knows the evil in his heart and agrees with the apostle Paul, who said, “evil is present in me, the one who wants to do good” (Rom 7:21). Evil is always present in the heart, even the heart of the Christian. Part of what makes him a good man is that he has the power to do evil, but he chooses not to act on it. Rather, he chooses to know the Lord and walk with him. It's not a perfect walk. It never is. And daily confession of sin is a constant (1 John 1:9). But as Christian, he has a new nature too, one that wants to please the Lord, that “joyfully concurs with the law of God in the inner man” (Rom 7:22). The struggle is real and constant, and he daily chooses to pursue good. Again, he can and does sin, but he also humbles himself and, like all growing believers, comes before God's “throne of grace” in order that he may “receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need” (Heb 4:16). Of course, what is written here applies to women (except for being a good husband, son, and father).      Those who pursue good, and regularly do good, are good. Those who pursue evil, and regularly do evil, are evil. And the good are always good by choice and never by chance. Likewise, the evil are always evil by choice and never by chance. Solomon said, “A good man will obtain favor from the LORD, but He will condemn a man who devises evil” (Prov 12:2). The wicked are those who hate the Lord and devise evil against others, and they are always among us, like tares among the wheat. The wicked exploit the weak and kill the innocent. The Bible tells us “God is good” (Psa 73:1; cf. Psa 86:5). And the psalmist says of the Lord, “You are good and do good” (Psa 119:68). The Old Testament, in several places, mentions the “good man” (Heb. טוֹב tov; cf., Prov 13:22; 14:14; Eccl 9:2). Delitzsch states, “the good man is thus a man who acts according to the ruling motive of self-sacrificing love.”[1] And Waltke adds, “Whoever strives for wisdom through knowledge is a good person because he contributes to the community's well-being out of his unfailing kindness. In the highest court of appeal, he obtains favor from the Lord, Who the source of all good (Mark 10:18; Gal 5:22; Jam 1:17).”[2] In another place the psalmist wrote, “Do good, O LORD, to those who are good and to those who are upright in their hearts” (Psa 125:4).      Jesus said that good people will manifest what fills their heart, saying, “The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth what is good; and the evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth what is evil; for his mouth speaks from that which fills his heart” (Luke 6:45; cf. Matt 12:35; Rom 5:7). There are good people. They choose what fills their heart, and they act accordingly.      In the book of Acts, Luke tells us about a man named Barnabas, whose name means “Son of Encouragement” (Acts 4:36). When the church at Jerusalem sent Barnabas to Antioch (Acts 11:22), it is said that “when he arrived and witnessed the grace of God, he rejoiced and began to encourage them all with resolute heart to remain true to the Lord; for he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. And considerable numbers were brought to the Lord” (Acts 11:23-24).      Of some of the Christians living in Rome, the apostle Paul said, “I myself also am convinced that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge and able also to admonish one another” (Rom 15:14). And to Christians living in Ephesus, he said, “for you were formerly darkness, but now you are Light in the Lord; walk as children of Light (for the fruit of the Light consists in all goodness and righteousness and truth), trying to learn what is pleasing to the Lord” (Eph 5:8-10).      A good man, in the biblical sense, is a man who models his life after Christ. He is a Christian in the fullest sense of the word. He is, first and foremost, in a relationship with the Man, the Lord Jesus Christ, and has been born again into a new life (1 Pet 1:3). He puts on “a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience” (Col 3:12), and denies “ungodliness and worldly desires” and lives “sensibly, righteously and godly in the present age” (Tit 2:12). He continually studies Scripture in order to live God's will (2 Tim 2:15; 1 Pet 2:2; 2 Pet 3:18), and strives toward spiritual maturity (2 Tim 3:16-17; Eph 4:11-16). He regards others as more important than himself and looks out for their interests (Phil 2:3-4). He is filled with the Spirit (Eph 5:18) and walks in the Spirit (Gal 5:16). He lives in fellowship with God (1 John 1:5-7), trusting Him to guide and sustain him in all things. His life is being transformed, to think and act less like the world (Rom 12:1-2), and to conform to the image of the One who saved him (Rom 8:29).  He does not love the world (1 John 2:15-17), but shows gracious love to his enemies who live in the world (Matt 5:43-45; Rom 12:19-21). He shows love within the body of Christ (1 Th 4:9; 1 John 3:23), and helps the needy, widows and orphans (Jam 1:27). As a son, he honors his father and mother (Eph 6:1-3), as a husband, he loves his wife as Christ loves the church, providing, protecting, and honoring her always (Eph 5:25; Col 3:19; 1 Pet 3:7), and as a father, he teaches his children the ways of the Lord (Eph 6:4; cf. Deut 6:5-7). These are not all the characteristics of the good Christian man, but they are among the most important.       We choose what enters our heart, and what fills the heart becomes manifest in the life, either as good or evil. Wisdom says, “Guard your heart with all diligence, for from it flow the springs of life” (Prov 4:23). As God's people, let us always strive to be good and do good, that we may be called good, by the Lord and those who know Him.

Patience is indeed a fruit of the Holy Spirit, but the Spirit empowers us (with all his fruit) through hearing with faith.

It is not always easy to talk to others about Jesus. Yet all around us, there are people who need to hear about Jesus, and sometimes, they even invite us to share the gospel with them. How can we have the courage to do so? Two of Jesus's followers, Peter and John, found themselves in this kind of situation. After Jesus ascended, they met a man in the temple who could not walk and was asking for money. Then Peter said, “Silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk” (Acts 3:6), and the man was healed! All the people there were amazed, and Peter began to speak to them about Jesus. But the Jewish religious leaders “were greatly disturbed because the apostles were teaching the people, proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection of the dead” (Acts 4:2), and they put Peter and John in jail overnight to question them the next day. As Peter and John stood before the council, they did not shrink from witnessing about Jesus, but they courageously declared the gospel. This would not have been easy to do if God had not given them the courage, especially because the people on the council were the highest-ranking Jewish religious authorities. After Peter spoke, the elders and the rulers of the people were astonished, because they knew Peter and John were common men, uneducated. How did these two fishermen, who had no formal training in the Scriptures, gain the courage to say that they witnessed the death and resurrection of the Messiah? Then the council recognized that these men had been with Jesus. Peter and John had been close to Jesus during His ministry on earth. And after Jesus ascended, He sent the Holy Spirit to be in them. Because of this, they had the confidence and the courage to speak about Jesus (Acts 4:8). We can also have the courage to witness for Jesus, because the same Spirit is in us, as people who have put our trust in Jesus (Ephesians 4:4). Like the disciples, we can spend time being in the presence of our Lord. And this will cause us to gain confidence and boldness to be His witnesses to those who do not know Him. How do we spend time with Jesus? There's no formula, but reading the Bible and praying are a good place to start. As we experience God's love, we will have the courage to tell others about Him, because we have been with the Lord. • Enid Adah Nyinomujuni • In Acts 4:23-31, what did these people, the first Christians, pray for? How did God respond? ...they took note that these men had been with Jesus. Acts 4:13b (NIV)

You were born with a sin nature. All humans are born with a sin nature. “For by one man [Adam] sin came into the world and death by sin and now death has passed on all for all have sinned” (Rom 5:12). This is why you need to be born again by accepting Jesus Christ as your Savior. Your new birth gives you the ministry of the Holy Spirit. This is the only way you can control your sin nature which tries to dominate you. You make the choice on who controls your life - the Holy Spirit or your sin nature. “The flesh wars against the Spirit and the Spirit wars against the flesh” (Gal 5:17). You are mandated to stay filled with the Holy Spirit and live under the power of the ministry of the Holy Spirit “Walk in the Spirit and you will not fulfill the lust of the flesh” (Gal 5:16).

If you're looking for fulfillment, look no further than serving someone else. Air Force fighter pilot Lt. Colonel Dan Rooney has seen that time and again in his life. Lt Colonel Rooney shares the inspiration behind his nonprofit organization Folds of Honor, which provides for the families of fallen and disabled soldiers, and reminds us why service helps us just as much as it helps someone else. Quotes “I felt the Holy Spirit on my shoulder in that moment, and He gave me a calling that night that I certainly wasn't prepared for. But one of my anthems for my whole life has been go before you're ready.” —Lt. Col Dan Rooney “Every day my first prayer [when] my feet hit the ground in the morning is to ignore myself and listen to what Jesus wants me to do on this given day and to fill me with the passion and energy to do it.” —Lt. Col Dan Rooney “For me, it boils down to this beautiful irony that when you are helping someone else, you're actually the one being helped. I know in my heart that's why God created us.” —Lt. Col Dan Rooney “If you're looking for fulfillment, if you don't feel like your life is where it should be, look to helping other people. It's extraordinary.” —Lt. Col Dan Rooney   Lt.

Jen Wilkin, JT English, and Kyle Worley celebrate episode 150 of Knowing Faith by answering questions submitted by listeners! Questions Covered in This Episode:How do we reconcile judgment day with the knowledge that when we repent God forgets or casts away our sins?Will we see King Saul in heaven?Are false stories the same thing as worldviews?How can brothers in Christ best supportz sisters in Christ who are pursuing some form of ministry in the US context?Is the soul inherently gendered as male and female? If yes or no, what are the implications for complementarianism?Do you consider women's bible study and women's ministry the same thing?Can you help me understand the difference between the ontological and economic Trinity? Why does it matter?What are your thoughts on Paul saying to not pay attention to genealogies in 1 Timothy?Why is the Father referred to as God the Father but Christ is referred to as the Son of God, not God the Son? Does this language confuse the equality of the Trinity in any way?Who is your favorite of the minor prophets and why?How do we pray Trinitarianly?Does Kenosis deny the deity of Christ?I want to develop my own curriculum for our study to use, where should I start?Romans 7:4 says we have died to the law in Christ Jesus but in Matthew 5:17 Jesus says he didn't come to abolish the law but to fulfill it. So if we are in Christ it means that we have died to the law, but also we have fulfilled the law in Christ. How can both be true at the same time? Did we die to the law or did we fulfill the law in Christ?I reckon after these tough questions you and your families need a holiday to NZ! What say you all?Helpful Definitions:Anthropomorphic: Ways of talking about God in human terms so we can understand a concept.“Narrative is our culture's currency, he who tells the best story wins.” Bobette BusterAnthropology: The doctrine of humanity.Dichotomy: We are made up of two parts, body and soul.Trichotomy: We are made up of three parts, body, soul, and spirit.Ontological (Imminent) Trinity: The view that centers on the Trinity in and of Himself, or the internal relations between the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as present (immanent) only to Himself (c.f.

Thursday, 26 May 2022   Has My hand not made all these things?' Acts 7:50   Stephen is in the process of quoting Isaiah 66:1, 2. He will finish his citation with this verse which is only the first clause of Isaiah 66:2. His entire citation says –   “Heaven is My throne, And earth is My footstool. What house will you build for Me? says the Lord, Or what is the place of My rest? 50 Has My hand not made all these things?” Acts 7:49, 50   With this context remembered, he finishes with, “Has My hand not made all these things?” The Hebrew is very close, saying, “For all those things My hand has made.”   The previous words spoke of the position of authority and the state of having all of the earth in a state of subjection. The words now bring in the fact that not only is this so, but that the Lord is the Creator of them as well. What is implied in this is that if He is the Creator of them, then He is also the Sustainer of them. This is stated explicitly in the continued words of Isaiah (not cited by Stephen) that say, “And all those things exist.”   They came into being because of Him (existence from creation), but they remain now only because He purposes it to be so (continued existence). This concept is mentioned by Paul and by the author of Hebrews –   “And he is before all, and all things subsist together by him.” Colossians 1:17 (Darby)   “...has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds; 3 who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power.” Hebrews 1:2, 3   As these things are so, then it must be that a temple fashioned by human hands is both insufficient to contain Him, and that what occurs at that temple is actually for our benefit, not His. He needs nothing as all things are from Him and all things belong to Him. Further, true righteousness and holiness cannot come from such a temple and its rites and rituals. Rather, they are intended to school those to whom they are given that only such a state can come from the work of God.   What man does is already tainted with unholiness. The thought of what Stephen is saying through the words of Isaiah is that a right standing before God will come through what God does. That is actually seen in the finishing words of Isaiah 66:2 –   “But on this one will I look: On him who is poor and of a contrite spirit, And who trembles at My word.”   The word of God is a reflection of who He is. It is true that the rites and rituals used in the worship of the temple were set forth by the Lord, but they are only types and shadows of what is more perfect. To demonstrate this, the Lord's word prophesied the coming of the Messiah who would perfectly fulfill all things that Israel imperfectly lived out. This will be seen as Stephen continues. He has clearly set forth his case, and he will show how Israel failed to recognize the time of their visitation.   Life application: In worshipping Jesus, we are worshipping the fullest expression of who God is in a form that we can understand. The Holy Spirit intends for us to see God revealed in Christ. The influence of the prophets was for them to prophesy. The overshadowing of Mary so that she would conceive was given to bring forth the incarnate Word of God. The influence of the Spirit on the apostles was to remind them of the work of the Lord and to testify to it. The sealing of the Spirit now is given as an acceptance of faith (belief in) the gospel of the Lord Jesus.   Everything is centered on Christ Jesus. Let us fix our eyes on Him as we await the wondrous day when we are brought into the presence of God and of the Lamb for all eternity. Let us thank God for His favor, His grace, and His mercy towards us in Christ.   Lord God, all praise, glory, and honor belong to You. We give You our hearts and our devotion as we await the day when You renew all things and bring us into the pure and undefiled state that will allow us perfect union with You for all eternity. Glory to You in the highest! Amen.

“It's like sitting in God's living room.” This episode of Open Door Policy is a season finale! Join hosts Emily Mentock and Fr. Patrick Gonyeau as they share their highlights from the previous season. Together they marvel at how God is alive and active in the life of each guest who has joined them. From storytelling to music, from mental health struggles to a new vocation to the permanent diaconate, each guest has exhibited how unique God's plan is for each life. Your hosts share their dreams to see the Church alive with a new Pentecost and a Church filled with gratitude. Join Open Door Policy as we wonder at God's power to change lives, and unleash the Gospel in the Archdiocese of Detroit. Take a listen! (00:19) Welcome to Open Door Policy! Your hosts Emily Mentock and Fr. Patrick Gonyeau share their excitement over this episode to reflect on the previous season and how God has inspired them through the testimonies of the podcast guests. (01:18) Emily shares that something she has enjoyed about hosting the show is that she is inspired by the many ways the Spirit is working in missionary disciples in Southeast Michigan. “It has truly changed my faith.” Fr. Patrick loves when he “goes off the rails.” These podcast testimonies are inspiring to him. Fr. Patrick encourages us to “look out for comparison. God made you to be you.” St. Catherine of Siena says, “Be who God made you to be and you will set the world on fire.” As we experience our identity in Christ, our desire should be to be fully us, and not someone else. Fr. Patrick loves the “dream question” that each episode closes with. God has made us for greatness, and these big desires for the future are good. (4:50) Spotlight on guests: Dcn. Fred stood out to Emily. She loved his passion, and that he fulfilled the call to be fully himself. The episode with Jordan and Napoli Beachnau was very inspiring to Emily and she kept their stories of their journey as a couple with her. Curtis Simpson, Jr. was a memorable episode for Emily because of his energy, joy, and passion. The podcast has taught Emily that God works in our lives in so many ways. “Look at all these different ways God can be working in people's lives. (7:20) “Testimonies put the works of God on display.” Fr. Patrick loves testimonies because they give people the witness of the power of God. Emily makes the point that Unleash the Gospel places value on the power of witness. “Personal testimony has an indispensable role in evangelization. Testimony has a unique power to touch hearts, since it is almost impossible to ignore the witness of someone who has encountered Jesus personally and whose life has been transformed by him.” (9:48) Fr. Patrick mentions Recardo Hernandez's testimony about having mental health struggles. “His testimony involved Jesus helping him come into a place of health, freedom, and peace.” Fr. Patrick mentions how bad thoughts can lead to bad actions, and bad actions can lead to a life separated from God. “The right mind is the mind of Christ for a disciple.” We are all tasked as disciples to steward our minds. Fr. Patrick mentioned Michelle Piccolo's testimony and sums it up in four words: in love with Jesus. Finally, Chris Leach's testimony touched Fr. Patrick. His testimony can be summed up in these words: “nothing is impossible for God.” (14:05) Emily comments that the episode with Chris was interesting for her because she knew Chris before the episode- through working in the Archdiocese together. “You don't have to go searching for the stories of how God is working in people's lives. The people in the pews next to us all have their own stories of their encounters with Jesus and how they live that out now.” (17:27) Who else touched your heart? Other highlights include: Josh Ross playing music on an episode, Fr. Jake Vanassche brought Spanish content to the podcast, and also, one of the great storytellers of the Archdiocese, Bishop Hanchon visiting the show. (24:04) “What are your dreams, Fr. Patrick?” Emily poses their typical closing question to her fellow co-host, Fr. Patrick. “Full on participation in the New Pentecost.” First, Fr. Patrick wants to live consumed with the presence of God. Second, he desires to see the Church on fire for the Lord, with a greater devotion to the Eucharist. He wants to see the signs and wonders, healings, and prophetic words become part of the regular life of the Church. (28:03) “What are your hopes and dreams, Emily?” Emily says she has loved doing the work of sharing the Gospel through her work with the Archdiocese. The book of Romans chapter 8 reminds Emily that her faith is a gift. She feels inspired by Bl. Solanus Casey to “give God thanks ahead of time.” She feels it has been so clear that God wants her to be unleashing the Gospel in the Archdiocese of Detroit. She says that praying with Fr. Patrick on the podcast has inspired a courage in her to pray with more of the Holy Spirit. (32:39) Our hosts invite us to share with them what has inspired you! Tag @utgdetroit on social media and let them know what your dreams are for the future. Share how God is in your heart. If there is someone you know who has a story that is a powerful witness, reach out! (34:20) Ron is the person behind the scenes for the podcast, and the hosts are grateful for his work to make Open Door Policy happen. Emily closes the podcast in prayer, expressing gratitude for the season's guests and the audience. She asks that the audience would be blessed with the grace to share the Gospel in the power of the Holy Spirit. Fr. Patrick wraps up the episode by blessing the listeners. Thanks for listening!

The apostles and their successors carry out this "ministry of reconciliation," not only by announcing to men God's forgiveness merited for us by Christ, and calling them to conversion and faith; but also by communicating to them the forgiveness of sins in Baptism, and reconciling them with God and with the Church through the power of the keys, received from Christ (abbreviated). - 1120 (in 'The Sacraments of the Church') - The ordained priesthood guarantees that it really is Christ who acts in the sacraments through the Holy Spirit for the Church. the saving mission entrusted by the Father to his incarnate Son was committed to the apostles and through them to their successors: they receive the Spirit of Jesus to act in his name and in his person (abbreviated). - 1122 (in 'The Sacraments of Faith') - Christ sent his apostles so that "repentance and forgiveness of sins should be preached in his name to all nations." (abbreviated). - 1304 (in 'Confirmation') - Like Baptism which it completes, Confirmation is given only once, for it too imprints on the soul an indelible spiritual mark, the "character," which is the sign that Jesus Christ has marked a Christian with the seal of his Spirit by clothing him with power from on high so that he may be his witness. - 659 (in 'He Ascended into Heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father') - "So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God." Christ's body was glorified at the moment of his Resurrection, as proved by the new and supernatural properties it subsequently and permanently enjoys. But during the forty days when he eats and drinks familiarly with his disciples and teaches them about the kingdom, his glory remains veiled under the appearance of ordinary humanity. Jesus' final apparition ends with the irreversible entry of his humanity into divine glory, symbolized by the cloud and by heaven, where he is seated from that time forward at God's right hand (abbreviated).

Rev. Philip Hoppe, pastor at Trinity Lutheran Church in Colby, KS, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Acts 11:1-18. News concerning what happened at Cornelius' house quickly makes its way around the Church. When Peter returns to Jerusalem, some oppose him because when he took the Word to the Gentiles, he stayed with them and ate with them. The fact that St. Luke records Peter's recounting of the event indicates its great importance; when the Lord repeats something in His Word, we ought to pay attention. Peter's vision revealed not only that all food was clean, but even moreso, that people are made clean through the blood of Jesus. Cornelius was told to send for Peter because Peter would preach a message that would bring salvation. Peter concludes his defense by making the point that all of this was not man-made, but God's own idea, revealed by the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Everyone who heard Peter was brought to the truth and glorified God for giving repentance to the Gentiles. “To the End of the Earth” is a mini-series on Sharper Iron that goes through the book of Acts. In his second volume, St. Luke records all the things that Jesus continued to do through the ministry of His Church. By the end of the book, the proclamation of the Lord's Word that began in Jerusalem grows all the way to Rome. By God's grace, even now, that same Word is proclaimed to us.

Fr. Jesse preaches at the 1pm Spanish Mass about how love produces obedience, the role of the Holy Spirit, and what we can learn from Him. // Padre Jesse predica en la Misa en español de la 1pm sobre cómo el amor produce obediencia, el papel del Espíritu Santo y lo que podemos aprender de Él. Special Guest: Fr. Jesse Garcia.

Jesus said to his disciples: “Thus it is written that the Christ would suffer and rise from the dead on the third day and that repentance, for the forgiveness of sins, would be preached in his name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things. And behold I am sending the promise of my Father upon you; but stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high.” Luke 24:46–49And with that, the earthly mission of Jesus was completed and He ascended into Heaven. Or was it? Was His mission completed? Yes, but only in the sense that our Lord's work of destroying death and offering new life was accomplished by His life, death and resurrection. Human nature was now invited to share in a new life of grace.Prayerfully imagine standing on the mountain of the Ascension with our Lord. As you gaze upon Him, imagine that you were also present with Him throughout His public ministry. Imagine witnessing His many miracles, the way that He converted the hardest of hearts, the authority with which He spoke, His arrest, torture, death and then His Resurrection. Imagine seeing His hands and feet, once pierced, now radiating glory from those wounds. As you see our Lord in this way, imagine Him looking at you with love and saying to you that He has chosen to send you forth to the world to be a witness to Him and to all that you have seen and encountered. You are to go forth sharing the Good News of His life, death and resurrection with all whom you come in contact with.First, our Lord has, indeed, shared His entire life with you. By reading the Gospels, you become a firsthand witness to all that Jesus did and accomplished. His Word is alive, and it reveals His very Person to you, just as it did to His first followers. Second, Jesus does call you to go forth and to share this living Gospel with the world. Therefore, it is important to ponder how you can do such a thing. How can you give witness to the Resurrection of Christ? How can you change lives? How can you continue the mission of Jesus Himself?The promise given by our Lord to the disciples on the mountain of the Ascension is also a promise given to you. He is promising to send the Holy Spirit upon you so as to clothe you “with power from on high.” Only by receiving that power and using it fully will you be able to accomplish the mission that our Lord has given to you. Therefore, will you open yourself to the Holy Spirit and commit yourself to the continuation of Christ's mission?If we were to fully understand the mission we have received from Jesus, it would fill us with a holy fear. But too often the realization of what God wants of us fills us with an unholy fear instead. We think about evangelizing others, sharing our faith, witnessing to the truth by our actions, loving our enemies and living for the Gospel alone, and it can appear overwhelming. If that is the case with you, then know that this form of unholy fear can be dispelled so that the gift of holy fear can take its place. Holy fear is a gift of the Holy Spirit that inspires us to sense the awesomeness of God and the mission we are given by encountering it firsthand. It motivates us, encourages us and leaves us with wonder and awe. From there, this and every other gift of the Holy Spirit enables us to fulfill the unending mission of Christ.Reflect, today, upon the particular mission that God has given to you. Prayerfully look at Jesus as He stands on the mountain of the Ascension and looks at you. As He does, let Him reveal to you not only His very Person, but also your particular sharing in His ongoing mission of sharing the Good News to the ends of the earth. Receive that mission with courage, joy and holy fear. Reverence it, savor it, ponder it and accept it. Commit yourself to this glorious sharing in the life of Christ by committing yourself to become a witness to Christ until the end of your life on earth.My ascended Lord, as You entered body and soul into the full and glorious presence of Your Father, You handed on to your disciples the duty of completing Your mission on earth. I hear Your call in my life, dear Lord, and commit myself to the glorious task of continuing that mission on earth. Please use me as You will and fill me with power from on high so that I may help share Your saving Word to the ends of the earth. Jesus, I trust in You.Source of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2022 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved. Used with permission via RSS feed.

Christianity requires that the right thing must be done in the right way. This is God's protocol plan. God has rules for practicing your Christianity. For example, taking communion with unconfessed sin in your life, out of fellowship with God, is compromising the righteousness of God and you put yourself under extreme divine discipline. “Because of this many are weak, many are sick and many are dead” (1 Cor 11:30). The spiritual life only works off of the filling of the Holy Spirit and learning and applying the Word of God. This is the only way to advance spiritually and become an MVP for God. The M stands for momentum, meaning you hear and keep the Word of God. V is for virtue. The P represents poise and means you have the ability to think under pressure.

I am blessed to WELCOME Pastors Duncan and Kate Smith from Catch the Fire Ministries today to go deep and vast on how God radically transformed  trauma within their marriage. The couple take us back to a time when they did not know what inner healing entailed, and it took the Holy Spirit coming to them and announcing that they were not the finished work of Christ yet. Now, they stay on a 22 year journey of inner healing in their family, marriage and minds. I talk with the Smiths about deep and profound sensitivities that can develop along the course of a marriage where you may realize you and your partner have personality and expressive differences. Duncan shares his history of feelings of abandonment, which occasionally get reintroduced through marital triggers. Kate grew up in a home with physically present parents but through their ministry work, they were missing some of Kate's emotional needs. Kate has an avoidant personality which causes her triggers within her marriage as well. The two, through inner emotional healing, have connected and welcomed an understanding of each other's triggers, wounds, and traumatic experiences. They found a safe place within one another through hard, intentional work and the power of the Holy Spirit. Offerings:

Full Text of ReadingsWednesday of the Sixth Week of Easter Lectionary: 293All podcast readings are produced by the USCCB and are from the Catholic Lectionary, based on the New American Bible and approved for use in the United States _______________________________________The Saint of the day is Saint Bede the VenerableBede is one of the few saints honored as such even during his lifetime. His writings were filled with such faith and learning that even while he was still alive, a Church council ordered them to be read publicly in the churches. At an early age, Bede was entrusted to the care of the abbot of the Monastery of St. Paul, Jarrow. The happy combination of genius and the instruction of scholarly, saintly monks, produced a saint and an extraordinary scholar, perhaps the most outstanding one of his day. He was deeply versed in all the sciences of his times: natural philosophy, the philosophical principles of Aristotle, astronomy, arithmetic, grammar, ecclesiastical history, the lives of the saints and especially, holy Scripture. From the time of his ordination to the priesthood at 30—he had been ordained a deacon at 19—till his death, Bede was ever occupied with learning, writing, and teaching. Besides the many books that he copied, he composed 45 of his own, including 30 commentaries on books of the Bible. His Ecclesiastical History of the English People is commonly regarded as of decisive importance in the art and science of writing history. A unique era was coming to an end at the time of Bede's death: It had fulfilled its purpose of preparing Western Christianity to assimilate the non-Roman barbarian North. Bede recognized the opening to a new day in the life of the Church even as it was happening. Although eagerly sought by kings and other notables, even Pope Sergius, Bede managed to remain in his own monastery until his death. Only once did he leave for a few months in order to teach in the school of the archbishop of York. Bede died in 735 praying his favorite prayer: “Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As in the beginning, so now, and forever.” Reflection Though his History is the greatest legacy Bede has left us, his work in all the sciences, especially in Scripture, should not be overlooked. During his last Lent, Bede worked on a translation of the Gospel of Saint John into English, completing it the day he died. But of this work “to break the word to the poor and unlearned” nothing remains today. Saint Bede the Venerable is the Patron Saint of: Scholars Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

You'll never live like Jesus without the spirit of Jesus living inside you. This Sunday, Pastor Mark Francey shares on the power of the Holy Spirit and we build with POWER. God gave everything this world has ever needed - His son that would pay for the sins of humanity's past, present & future. The Holy Spirit is where our power comes from. He is the one who comforts, convicts, convinces, and communicates. Inside of every heart, God has placed eternity. The Holy Spirit will convince you of God's righteousness and God's judgement. There is more of the Spirit of God than what you currently have. The Holy Spirit's power shows up when you step out. The Spirit fills those who allow him to fill them. The Holy Spirit will fill you to prepare you for the places He wants to invade. It's time to build with power through the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit 1. Comforts 2. Convicts 3. Convinces 4.
