The Holy Spirit, God's Personal Relationship Presence, Is Our Life's Ultimate Counselor and Helper – the Creator of the Universe MESSAGE SUMMARY: Your relationship with God is a continuous and not a one-time event; therefore, followers of Jesus are to be continuously filled with the Holy Spirit, as we are told in Acts 2:3-4: “And divided tongues as of fire appeared to them and rested on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance.". We should ask the Lord to fill us with the Holy Spirit every day. You need the continuous refreshing of the Holy Spirit because YOU are a broken vessel – you sin; you get tired; you work hard; you act stupid; and you rebel against God. Be filled with the Holy Spirit now – filled in this moment of the present. Being filled with the Holy Spirit, the presence of God in our lives in a personal relationship, provides us with the ultimate counselor and helper in our life – the Creator of the Universe. Do you ask the Holy Spirit to fill you every day to experience the continuous power of God's gift? TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, I relate to Peter's headstrong nature, and to his struggle to understand what you were telling him. It is difficult for me to understand how you are running the universe and my place in it. Transform my stubborn will, O Lord. Teach me to wait on you. Help me to trust you. In Jesus' name, amen. Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 95). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, because I am filled with the Holy Spirit, I will not be controlled by my Insensitivity. Rather, I will walk in the Spirit's fruit of Gentleness. “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” (Galatians 5:22f).

(Matthew 24:21) Our world has never seen tribulation like the tribulation that is coming on this planet at the end of the church age. God's Word explains the rise of anti-christ and the fall of civilization in graphic detail. Christ is our only hope. (0970250320) ----more---- The Tribulation Period You think the news is bad? Now wait. Just wait until the tribulation period that God says is coming on this earth. You wait. Because the news then is going to be the worst time this world has ever known. Now, thankfully, as a follower of Jesus Christ, a New Testament Christian, I don't believe we're going to be here during that period of time, and I want to pause and thank God for that. But I want to tell you, this world is about to face the worst time it's ever gone through. The Rapture Triggers the Tribulation Period We've talked most recently as we look at what the Bible says about the end of time, about the rapture of the church, that Christ is coming in the clouds and the church is going to be carried away, caught away to be with him. What does that set in motion here on this earth? There's a period of time known in scripture as the tribulation period. It's a seven year period of time that immediately follows the church being taken out of here. Now we know that in our world today, we all have tribulation. Even now there's some tribulation. John 16:33, Jesus said, "In this world, ye shall have tribulation, but be of good cheer. I have overcome the world." So when we're talking here about the tribulation, we're not just talking about bad things happening. That happens in our present time. It doesn't mean we're in the seven-year tribulation, period. Now the tribulation taught in prophecy and scripture refers to a specific period of time at the end of this age, which is a worldwide tribulation. It literally is the worst time this world has ever seen. Jesus spoke of it in Matthew chapter 24. Here's the way he says it. Matthew 24:21, He says, "For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world, to this time, no, nor ever shall be." Pretty strong words, wouldn't you say? Literally the powers of hell get unleashed on this planet. The Role of the Holy Spirit: God's Restraining Power There is something right now restraining Satan. Oh yes. Actually not something someone, his name is the Holy Spirit. He's the great restrainer. He's the damn holding back the flood tide of iniquity keeping men from just going off the cliff and the devil running rampant and doing whatever he wants to do, but that day is coming to an end. As a matter of fact, in 2nd Thessalonians 2, the Bible talks about it, he says In 2nd Thessalonians 2:1, "Now we beseech you brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him." Remember, we've talked about Christ comes, we're called away, we're gathered to be with him. He says, "That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time." Let me explain that verse. He says, there's something holding back. What withholds us? Something is restraining the antichrist from coming on the scene. Something is keeping him from being revealed. What is it he says in verse seven? For the mystery of iniquity to already work. Only he. Who now Lth will let, or he who prevents or hinders, will continue preventing and hindering until he be taken out of the way, and then shall that wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming. The Rise of the Antichrist He says, look, an Antichrist is coming. There is a man coming called the antichrist, called the man of lawlessness, called the Little Horn in. Daniel called the Beast. He's a political ruler, empowered by Satan, who's gonna receive worship and blaspheme the true God. He'll persecute believers that are present who believe on God during the tribulation period. He's going to dominate the world scene. He's gonna make a covenant with Israel and break it. Halfway through that seven-year period, he's gonna have a prophet helping him, a false prophet, referred to in scripture as the second beast, who'll come along and perform miracles and deceive lots of people. The Antichrist is going to be a powerful person. He's going to control world commerce and even use it to demand worship. I'm telling you the Antichrist is coming, but please don't miss what is taught in Second Thessalonians chapter two. And it is this: the reason the Antichrist is not revealed, has not come on the scene yet, is that there's someone holding that back from happening. And who is that person? None other than the Holy Spirit. Now, when will the Holy Spirit be removed? The only way the Holy Spirit can be removed is we have to be removed because where does the Holy Spirit live? He lives in believers, and God's promised he would never leave us and never forsake us. So the only way the Holy Spirit can be taken out is we have to be taken out. So when the Lord Jesus Christ comes, when the church is taken out, the restrainer is gone. The Holy Spirit in dwelling believers. That is removed and the salt and light of the church is removed. Imagine what this world would be like without any gospel preaching. Imagine what this world would be like if the devil had free reign, because that's what's gonna get set in motion at this period known here as the tribulation. The Antichrist will come on the scene. He's gonna promise peace and safety. Doesn't that sound nice? And everybody who's sick of war and sick of fighting is gonna sign on and say, oh, that's what we want. He's gonna make a covenant. A covenant that would even protect Israel, would take care of Israel. Surely anybody that can bring peace when it's connected to Israel in a world of war can be believed and can be trusted, and yet this person is a deceiver. I. He is going to set in motion a period known as the tribulation period. The Great Tribulation and Armageddon He's going to lead an alliance of western nations to have this treaty with Israel, and then three and a half years in halfway through the tribulation period, he's going to break that covenant, and then that sets in motion the period that is commonly referred to in scripture as the great tribulation. As a matter of fact, if you take Revelation chapters six through nineteen and read them carefully, it describes the sequence of the tribulation events. There are judgments coming war and bloodshed and worldwide famine and death. There'll be martyrs. There'll be catastrophic events. The nations of the earth are gonna march against Israel. The Antichrist is going to just have his way. He is Satan's emissary. He is the devil's representative in this world. I. All kinds of judgment is coming during that tribulation period. And how will it end? It's gonna end in a great battle known as the Battle of Armageddon, when the Lord Jesus Christ is gonna come and put down the antichrist and all who followed him. In other words, we've read the end of the story and we know we're on the winning side. Aren't you glad for that? May I tell you, I'm not looking for the antichrist. I have no idea who the antichrist is. We have no idea who that person is, but that's not what I'm looking for. I'm not looking for him. I'm looking for Christ because the Lord Jesus Christ is coming to catch us away. Providing Hope in a Hopeless World Friend, I hope you'll live today looking for the soon return of Jesus Christ, but also hope in a very serious vein. With a sober mind, you'll consider the great tribulation. What lost people will endure what's coming on this world to those who do not know Jesus Christ. As their personal Savior, may it be a motivation today to share the good news of Christ with someone. Friend, I not only want to go when he comes. I wanna take as many people with me as possible, and I hope you'll do the same thing. The worst time this world has ever seen is about to come. It's on the way. It's on the horizon. We have at this moment the greatest opportunity in the history of the world - to get the gospel of Jesus Christ to those who need it. Do your part today. Outro and Resources Repeating what other people have said about the Bible is not enough. We must know the biblical reason behind what we believe. We hope you will visit us at etj.bible to access our Library of Bible teaching resources, including book-by-book studies of Scripture. You'll also find studies to watch, listen to, or read. We are so grateful for those who pray for us, who share the biblical content, and for those who invest to help us advance this ministry worldwide. Again, thank you for listening and we hope you'll join us next time on Enjoying the Journey.

We are called to fight the good (victorious) Fight of the Faith (the Word of God) according to 1Timothy 6:12 and 2Tim 4:6. Derek describes the nature of this fight and the keys to successful spiritual warfare. The fight is to stand on and stay true to God's Word, in faith and practice, against all opposition, deception and wiles of the enemy. It is the fight to stay in the faith, to continue to trust God and His Word. The strategy of the enemy is to try to get you off God's Word. Then you lose. We fight it with God's Word, by standing, speaking and doing His Word. (1) Our posture in the fight is to stand on His Word (Eph 6:11-14), which means standing on the finished work of Christ, who has already won the victory over every enemy (Col 2:15, Matt 28:18, Eph 1:19-21, Phil 2:9-11, 1Pet 3:22), and has shared the victory with us in His Name (Eph 2:4-6). So, in Christ we are overcomers (1John 2:13-14, 4:4, 5:4-5), more than conquerors (Rom 8:37) in the Name of Jesus (on the basis of His victory, power and authority). As we stand in faith we are automatically in the victory. (2) We must reject pride, and submit to God and resist the enemy (Jam 4:6-7, 1Pet 5:5-9, Job 41:34), by exercising our will in making a quality decision to trust in and stand firm on His Word and not be moved, no matter what happens, enforcing this by confessing the good (victorious) confession of His Word, just as a wrestler does everything in his power to stay on his feet (Eph 6:12, 1Tim 6:12, Isa 54:17, Rev 12:11), (3) As we do this, we must depend on and lay hold of the power of the Holy Spirit (God's eternal life that He gives us by grace - John 3:16, 1John 5:11-12), which is continually available to us by grace (Eph 1:19, 3:20, 5:18, 6:10, 1Tim 6:12). This is necessary, if we are to stand, because we wrestle against principalities and powers (Eph 6:12). Therefore our role in the battle is to submit to God and stand on His Word and resist the devil, standing in the victory of Christ, trusting in His Name, and depending on the power of His Spirit to strengthen our heart (will).

Why should you get baptized? If you've given your life to Jesus, then baptism is the next step for you. Here's why: Baptism is a powerful step that shows your life has been changed because of Jesus! Baptism is a public way of saying, “I believe in Jesus, and I'm committing my life to Him.” Baptism is a symbol of the new life that Jesus gives us. When you go down into the water, it represents leaving behind your old ways, and when you come up, it shows you're raised into a new life with Jesus. Through baptism, you're also showing that you're ready to receive the Holy Spirit—God's Spirit who lives in us, helping us grow, giving us strength, and guiding us in faith. When you make the decision to be baptized, you're choosing to open your heart to the power of the Holy Spirit, who will work in you and through you. If you've accepted Jesus but haven't been baptized yet, consider taking this step!.

4:37 - At the great White Throne Judgement, will all of our sins be litigated? / 11:18 - Is the Holy Spirit God? / 22:21 - Do sinners get destroyed, or tortured forever? / 30:49 - If a new believer commits suicide, do they go to heaven? / 39:31 - Why did Jesus tell the people He healed not to tell anyone? / 47:23 - Does the Bible refute Near Death Experiences? / 53:44 - Is masturbation a sin?
Today's readings.. (2 Chronicles 26,27), (Daniel 7), (Acts 7) Stephen is hauled before the Jewish Council and accused of speaking blasphemous words against the Law and saying the Temple would be destroyed. His speech (in Acts 7) before the Council is a history lesson! Why? What was his purpose? He reviews all that had happened since the time of Abraham. Didn't the members of the Council know their history? As we read the chapter we see Stephen is tracing the things God had instigated since he called Abraham from his homeland in Ur. The lesson is for humans to be awake and aware of God in action, actions which are a response to human faith or lack of it. After Abraham he looks at the work and faith of Joseph. Then God raised up Moses and when he became really faithful, miracles occurred both in leaving Egypt and in the wilderness when the commandments and the Law was given, also the follies caused by failures of faith and the result.. Then comes the establishment in the land under Joshua; the days of David and the great Temple built by Solomon. God's presence was with them, yet God is far greater than just dwelling in the Temple they had built, God said “Heaven is my throne and earth is my footstool” [v.49]. Yet their religious life in Stephen's time was still built around the Temple! Did they have a relationship with the One God for whom it was built? No! Stephen portrayed the real lessons for them, the mistakes that their history should teach them – how often their ancestors had not been awake to see God in action but had pursued their own ends. Stephen suddenly challenges them, “You stiff necked people, uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Spirit (God in action) as your father's did … “ [v.51] He accuses them – you betrayed and murdered the righteous one, Jesus, … you did just the same as your ancestors did – a folly which they complete my murdering Stephen. It is evident that Stephen had included in his preaching a warning that the Temple was to be destroyed. And it was, about 35 years later – and their nation as well. Our 21st Century will surely see the climax of human history. God will act again but the whole world is blind and unprepared just as the Jews were! An awesome time is coming to destroy the “temples” of the gods of today. Do we preach a message that is parallel to Stephen's? Are we prepared? Is our faith strong enough to endure? How appropriate are the words of Jesus, “Because lawlessness will abound the love of many will grow cold, but those who endure to the end will be saved.” [Matt.14 v.12,13]. We must have the fellowship of fellow believers to help us to endure.
You and I were saved from the past and the sins of our lives, not just from something, but also to something. Now, we have become ambassadors of the King! We are His representatives to the world. Jesus said this in John 7:38… “Whoever believes in me, as Scripture says, rivers of living water will flow from within them.” That river of living water is the Holy Spirit God has placed inside of you. It's not just for you. It's meant to flow out from you to others. It's spreading the light of Christ wherever you go. That is a fact! Let it strengthen you and fill you with joy. Will you humble yourself? Allow the Holy Spirit to lead you in sharing the Gospel. Let God move through you to bless others. Share the message of the Good News of Jesus Christ today. Remember, there is always hope with God. This is Andrew Palau. radio.hopewithgod.com Find out more at https://hopewithgod.pinecast.co This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

The Holy Spirit, God's Personal Relationship Presence, Is Our Life's Ultimate Counselor and Helper – the Creator of the Universe MESSAGE SUMMARY: Your relationship with God is a continuous and not a one-time event; therefore, followers of Jesus are to be continuously filled with the Holy Spirit, as we are told in Acts 2:3-4: “And divided tongues as of fire appeared to them and rested on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance.". We should ask the Lord to fill us with the Holy Spirit every day. You need the continuous refreshing of the Holy Spirit because YOU are a broken vessel – you sin; you get tired; you work hard; you act stupid; and you rebel against God. Be filled with the Holy Spirit now – filled in this moment of the present. Being filled with the Holy Spirit, the presence of God in our lives in a personal relationship, provides us with the ultimate counselor and helper in our life – the Creator of the Universe. Do you ask the Holy Spirit to fill you every day to experience the continuous power of God's gift? TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, I relate to Peter's headstrong nature, and to his struggle to understand what you were telling him. It is difficult for me to understand how you are running the universe and my place in it. Transform my stubborn will, O Lord. Teach me to wait on you. Help me to trust you. In Jesus' name, amen. Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 95). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, because I am filled with the Holy Spirit, I will not be controlled by my Inconsistencies. Rather, I will walk in the Spirit's fruit of Faithfulness. “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” (Galatians 5:22f).
