Podcasts about Holy Spirit

Before he was martyred for his steadfast faith in Jesus, an African minister whose name has not been preserved penned “A Martyr’s Prayer.” This profound message from another era has become known as “The Fellowship of the Unashamed.” This pastor’s words present a challenge to all believers in Jesus—a challenge that echoes the words of the apostle Paul, who wrote in his letter to his young friend Timothy: “Do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord” (2 Timothy 1:8) because the Holy Spirit gives us “power, love and self-discipline” (v. 7). Here, in part, is what that faithful African pastor wrote: “I am part of the fellowship of the unashamed. The decision has been made. I am a disciple of [Jesus] and I won’t back up, let up, slow down, back away, or be still. My past is redeemed. My present makes sense. My future is secure. . . . I live by faith, lean on His presence, walk by patience, lift by prayer, and labor by the Holy Spirit’s power.” Both Timothy and that pastor faced difficulties we may never experience, but their words challenge us to stand strong when our faith is tested. We can remain unashamed because God “is able to guard what [we] have entrusted to him” (v. 12)—our lives and our future.

The Wilderness E2 — In the Bible, the wilderness is an uninhabitable, hostile place for human life. And in the creation narratives of Genesis 1 and 2, the wilderness symbolically represents the chaos of a pre-creation state. In this episode, Jon and Tim explore the wilderness language in the creation narrative and how it contrasts with Eden, God's oasis of beauty, order, and abundance.CHAPTERSRecap on the Meaning of the Wilderness (0:00-9:16)Pre-Creation Wilderness and the Eden Oasis (9:16-40:27)Wilderness and Eden Imagery in the Prophets (40:27-57:32)OFFICIAL EPISODE TRANSCRIPTView this episode's official transcript.REFERENCED RESOURCESCheck out Tim's extensive collection of recommended books here.You can view annotations for this episode—plus our entire library of videos, podcasts, articles, and classes—in the BibleProject app, available for Android and iOS.SHOW MUSIC“Break Bread” by Lofi Sunday, Oly.Lo“Refuge ft.

How do you know if you're truly saved? In a world where it's harder than ever to tell what's real and what's fake, the apostle John tells us that there will be signs. In this message from 1 John 3, Pastor Levi Lusko unpacks what life looks like when you're walking at the pace of the Holy Spirit. Love becomes the defining marker—not because it makes you a child of God, but because you already are one. Just like a home shows signs of being lived in, your life will show signs of God's Spirit dwelling inside you.NEXT STEPS:Ask for prayer or connect with a pastor: https://freshlife.church/contactRegister your decision to follow Jesus and receive free resources: https://freshlife.church/know-godGive a financial gift to support what God is doing as we take steps forward to see the Gospel reach far and wide: https://freshlife.church/giveSUBSCRIBE:Sign up to receive encouragement straight to your inbox, and to stay up to date with announcements, events, and more: https://church.us13.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=6ea4d82b2567db3e86b7767cd&id=451f2fe63eDon't miss a video!

Recording from Washington, DC Gospel Truth Conference 2018: The Christian life isn't just hard—it's impossible to live in your own strength. Thankfully, God never intended for us to rely on ourselves. Even Jesus received the Holy Spirit before beginning His ministry (Matt. 3:16). If He needed the Holy Spirit, how much more do we? Discover the importance and purpose of the Holy Spirit in your life—and learn how to walk in victory today.

Why do we keep falling back into the same broken patterns—even after meeting Jesus?Most of us want Jesus to take away the bad stuff, our addictions, our shame, our past. And sometimes, He does. But what happens next? If we don't intentionally fill the empty space with something better, something holy, something of the Spirit—then the darkness just moves back in, stronger than before. In Part 2 of the 35-Day Challenge, Jim Burgen digs deep into the roots of sin, the spiritual realm we pretend doesn't exist, and what Jesus really came to defeat. This is not your Sunday School version of the Bible. This is war, and it's personal.Jesus didn't just come to forgive you, He came to fill you.Through ancient texts, spiritual warfare, and real talk about depravity, Jim shows how Jesus tackles not one, but three curses that still haunt us today. The Cross wiped your slate clean, but the Holy Spirit is how you write a new story. If your life feels stuck in neutral—or worse, going backwards—it might be because you've only accepted half of what Jesus offers. The Spirit is your only hope. And the Church? It's not a building, it's a battle plan.

This week I'm sitting down with my friend Kristy Eldridge, and wow—get ready because her story is powerful. Kristy shares her incredible journey of healing from trauma, addiction, and fear into complete freedom in Christ. She opens up about encounters with the Holy Spirit, stepping into her prophetic calling, and how she went from praying for strangers in grocery stores to now hosting prophetic trainings across the U.S.  You'll be so encouraged by her testimony and the way she models radical obedience to God. If you've ever struggled with fear, false humility, or wondered how to step into your calling, this episode is going to light a fire in you. __________________________________________________________   Ready for more?

Endure Sound Doctrine: Walking Upstream in the Last Days | KIB 496 Kingdom Intelligence Briefing Description In Kingdom Intelligence Briefing #496, Dr. Michael & Mary Lou Lake call the remnant to endure sound doctrine (2 Timothy 4) and reject the avalanche of error sweeping the modern church. From hermeneutics (exegesis vs. eisegesis) to functional kingdom theology, they unpack how to live the ultimate counterculture—holy, steadfast, and free from Babylon's influence. Includes intercession, ministry updates, biblical correction done in love, and a closing prayer commissioning the remnant to walk the King's Highway. Key Scriptures: 2 Timothy 4:1–5; themes of holiness, sanctification, endurance, and returning to the full counsel of God (Genesis → Revelation). Prayer Focus & Updates: Intercede against occult activity, protection of children, healing for Justin & spouse, Troy's surgery, and continued recovery after cataract surgery.

Today's Topics: 1) Gospel - Matthew 1:18-23 - This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about. When His mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, but before they lived together, she was found with Child through the Holy Spirit. Joseph her husband, since he was a righteous man, yet unwilling to expose her to shame, decided to divorce her quietly. Such was his intention when, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary your wife into your home. For it is through the Holy Spirit that this Child has been conceived in her. She will bear a Son and you are to name him Jesus, because He will save His people from their sins." All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: Behold, the virgin shall be with Child and bear a Son, and they shall name him Emmanuel, which means "God is with us." Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee! 2, 3, 4) Terry speaks with Lorrie, who while in prison, had a conversion to Jesus Christ

God promises to renew, reenergize, and revive His people when they have grown weary. Isaiah 40:28-31 uses a similitude to describe the people of God. He says that they shall mount up with “wings like eagles.”To wait upon the Lord means to spread your wings of faith and obedience. And the Holy Spirit, like the wind beneath your wings, will carry you high and far, even above the storms. The abundant life is the spirit-filled life! It's spreading your wings of faith and obedience, so the Spirit of God completely controls your life.

Prayer is not a duty. It is access. In Luke 11:9–13, Jesus links ask/seek/knock to the gift of the Holy Spirit so we learn to pray with structure, persistence, and power.

Friends of the Rosary,Today, September 8, as the Church has done from the earliest times, we rejoice in the Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin “Mary was of the lineage of Abraham, born of the tribe of Judah and of the progeny of King David, from whom the Son of God was born, made man by the work of the Holy Spirit, to free humanity from the ancient bondage of sin,” as The Roman Martyrology states.Born immaculate and full of grace, Mary was conceived to be the mother of the Savior of the world, the spiritual mother of all men, and the holiest, most perfect of God's creatures.By the will of the Trinity, through her, all grace is given to men.In Mary, Queen of heaven and of earth, all human nature is exalted.This feast of the nativity of Mary is one of the three birthdays in the Church Calendar—the Birth of Jesus (December 25), the Birth of John the Baptist (June 24), and the Birthday of Mary. All three were born without original sin, although Mary and Jesus were conceived without sin, and St. John was cleansed of original sin while in the womb at the Visitation of Mary.Let us often call upon the Blessed Virgin as "Cause of our joy", one of the most beautiful titles in her litany.Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

James 5:12-20 finishes with a call to prayer in all things. Steve challenged out church body to come forward and receive prayer for sin, sickness, and forgiveness. It was a powerful day where the Holy Spirit moved.

''If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.”Galatians 5:25 NKJVTrue sanctification is not a matter of willpower but of walking in step with the Spirit. The Holy Spirit convicts us of sin, empowers us to overcome it, and transforms us from the inside out, leading us into a life that pleases God.

This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about.When his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph,but before they lived together,she was found with child through the Holy Spirit.Joseph her husband, since he was a righteous man,yet unwilling to expose her to shame,decided to divorce her quietly.Such was his intention when, behold,the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said,"Joseph, son of David,do not be afraid to take Mary your wife into your home.For it is through the Holy Spiritthat this child has been conceived in her.She will bear a son and you are to name him Jesus,because he will save his people from their sins."All this took place to fulfillwhat the Lord had said through the prophet:Behold, the virgin shall be with child and bear a son,and they shall name him Emmanuel,which means "God is with us."

Gene begins a new series from Ephesians with a reminder of what it means to live in light of our spiritual inheritance. Just as Will in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air had to learn to live like he belonged in his new family, followers of Jesus often forget the wealth already given to us through the Holy Spirit. In this episode, Gene shows how the Holy Spirit is God's promise of redemption and why our lives should reflect the identity and future we already have in Christ.Pursuing God with Gene Appel is designed to help you pursue God, build community, and unleash compassion. Grounded in Scripture and shaped by Eastside's conviction that God's grace is for everyone, each episode invites you to discover God's presence and activity in your life.

“The baby was delivered via C-section. but my wife was hemorrhaging, 2 Liters of blood, and the doctors didn't know from where. Her blood pressure was down to 52/38, and she was losing consciousness.” ---------- I asked Johnny, " How did you pray differently?" This week on Touched by Heaven, we meet musician, Johnny Hall, whose life took a dramatic turn in the delivery room. Known for leading praise and worship at healing services and events like Encounter School of Ministry, Johnny had learned about bold, Spirit-filled prayer. Those lessons became more than theory when his wife Danielle's life was suddenly in jeopardy during the birth of their daughter, Sadie. With doctors confused and scrambling, Johnny did the only thing he knew to do—call on the Holy Spirit and a prayer of command. What unfolded next left everyone stunned and confirmed for Johnny the power of God moving in real time. This is a story of faith, a type of prayer that you need to know, and a God who listens.

Dr Clark continues the series on the Lord's Supper, Nourish and Sustain. This series explores what the Supper is, why it was instituted, how it has been understood in the history of the church, what Scripture says, how we should understand it, and practice it. The Lord's Supper is one of the two sacraments instituted by our Lord Jesus Christ. A sacrament is a sign and seal of Holy Spirit-given benefits. Where baptism is the sign and seal of initiation into Christ-confessing covenant community, the Lord's Supper is the sign and seal of renewal and personal appropriation of the benefits promised in the covenant of grace. Tragically, since the mid-ninth century at least, holy communion, which is intended to bring Christ's people together, has often been a source of division. Perhaps worse, however, for much of the last one hundred fifty years, the Supper has been much neglected among evangelicals. In this episode, Dr. Clark discusses Theodore Baza's treatment on the substance of the Lord's Supper. This episode of the Heidelcast is sponsored by the Heidelberg Reformation Association.

The goal of Christianity is Christlikeness. Spiritual growth is the fruit of our faith; evidence that we are connected to the vine. In this episode of Kitchen Table Theology, Pastor Jeff and Tiffany revisit a past series with Jeff and Jen to explore the Holy Spirit's role in salvation, sanctification, and equipping believers for ministry.They explain the indwelling presence of the Spirit, how He reproduces the character of Christ in us, why He is essential to understanding Scripture, and how He empowers every Christian with spiritual gifts to serve the church.What We Discussed00:17 – Introduction and RecapTiffany introduces the theme of spiritual growth, reminding us that it happens in partnership with the Holy Spirit, who empowers believers to live out God's truth.01:24 – The Indwelling Spirit Pastor Jeff explains the many-faceted work of the Spirit: giving new life, assuring salvation, sealing believers for eternity (Ephesians 1:13–14), and comforting us in trials.07:55 – The Spirit Teaches Us ScriptureThe Holy Spirit illuminates God's Word, teaching and reminding us of truth (John 14:26; 1 Corinthians 2:10). Pastor Jeff emphasizes asking the Spirit for understanding when we encounter difficult passages.11:00 – Equipped for MinistryBelievers receive spiritual gifts to serve others (1 Peter 4:10). Jeff explains the S.H.A.P.E. acrostic: Spiritual gifts, Heart, Abilities, Personality, and Experience—all used by the Spirit for God's purposes.15:08 – What Spiritual Gifts Are NotJeff clarifies common misunderstandings: gifts are not about specific offices, age groups, or techniques. Instead, they are Spirit-given abilities exercised through our unique lives.17:53 – The Spirit as Our EnablerTrue ministry is Spirit-powered. We act in obedience, but the results belong to Him. Like a doctor who treats but cannot heal, only God brings transformation and life.19:40 – Dependence on the SpiritPastor Jeff and Jen remind us that daily dependence on the Spirit is vital. He empowers, guides, and sustains us through change and growth, making us effective in ministry.Key Quote“With the indwelling Holy Spirit, we are never alone, never lost, and never without His power.” – Pastor Jeff CranstonWe love your feedback!

Sunday evening message from the pulpit of Falls Baptist Church

Jesus' final words set the tone for everything that follows in the book of Acts. In Acts 1:8, He promises power through the Holy Spirit and calls His followers to be His witnesses. Ordinary people are invited to live lives that point to Him in every place, from the familiar to the farthest ends of the earth.In this message, Pastor Darren unpacks what it truly means to be a witness. It is not about consumer Christianity or simply sharing information. It is about embodying the reality of the risen Christ. Our lives, our communities, and our everyday choices become a testimony that Jesus is alive.This is the mission every Christian is called into: to live empowered by the Spirit, reflect Jesus to the world, and join God's story of renewal.

Title: How can we partner with the Holy Spirit?Speaker: Nate HoldridgeOverview: In this message on partnering with the Holy Spirit, Pastor Nate Holdridge examines the dramatic transformation of the disciples from fearful, self-focused men to bold witnesses empowered for global mission. We'll explore how believers today can actively cooperate with the Spirit through earnestly desiring spiritual gifts and being filled with His power. Nate provides a comprehensive survey of biblical spiritual gifts—from teaching and exhortation to healing and prophecy—while maintaining that love must be the controlling principle for all Spirit-led ministry. Our hope is that you will be equipped to test spiritual expressions against biblical criteria while pursuing the desperate need for divine strength to face today's cultural and spiritual strongholds.

Friends of the Rosary,In today's Sunday reading (St. Luke 14:25-33), Christ Jesus explains that true discipleship means total commitment of oneself to Him:“If anyone comes to me without hating his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple. Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple.”He does demand total dedication:“Anyone of you who does not renounce all his possessions cannot be my disciple.”For being His true disciples and followers, we must live our Christian life every day and all day.Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

Acts 16:6-15 6 And they went through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia. 7 And when they had come up to Mysia, they attempted to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them. 8 So, passing by Mysia, they went down to Troas. 9 And a vision appeared to Paul in the night: a man of Macedonia was standing there, urging him and saying, “Come over to Macedonia and help us.” 10 And when Paul had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go on into Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them. 11 So, setting sail from Troas, we made a direct voyage to Samothrace, and the following day to Neapolis,12 and from there to Philippi, which is a leading city of the district of Macedonia and a Roman colony. We remained in this city some days. 13 And on the Sabbath day we went outside the gate to the riverside, where we supposed there was a place of prayer, and we sat down and spoke to the women who had come together. 14 One who heard us was a woman named Lydia, from the city of Thyatira, a seller of purple goods, who was a worshiper of God. The Lord opened her heart to pay attention to what was said by Paul.15 And after she was baptized, and her household as well, she urged us, saying, “If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come to my house and stay.” And she prevailed upon us.   Key Words: Holy Spirit, Allow, Call, Preach, Prayer, Open, Heart, Baptize Keystone Verse: The Lord opened her heart to pay attention to what was said by Paul.

Matthew 28:18-20Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 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, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

QUOTES FOR REFLECTION “To those who ask us whence we have come or whom we have for a leader, we say that we have come in accordance with the counsels of Jesus to cut down our warlike and arrogant swords of argument into plowshares, and we convert into sickles the spears we formerly used in fighting…We have become sons of peace for the sake of Jesus, who is our leader.” ~Origen Adamantius, Christian theologian (185-253 AD) “In the beginning there is struggle and a lot of work for those who come near to God. But after that there is indescribable joy. It is just like building a fire: at first it is smoky and your eyes water, but later you get the desired result. Thus we ought to light the divine fire in ourselves with tears and effort.”~Amma Syncletica, author and teacher (293-373 AD) “The Christians… worship a man to this day – the distinguished personage who introduced this new cult, and was crucified on that account…. You see, these misguided creatures start with the general conviction that they are immortal for all time, which explains their contempt for death and self-devotion…. their lawgiver [taught] they are all brothers, from the moment that they are converted, and deny the gods of Greece, and worship the crucified sage, and live after his laws. All this they take on faith.”~Lucian of Samosata, Greek author (120-180 AD) “Nero fastened the guilt and inflicted the most exquisite tortures on a class hated for their abominations, called Christians by the populace. Christus, from whom the name had its origin, suffered the extreme penalty during the reign of Tiberius at the hands of one of our procurators, Pontius Pilatus, and a most mischievous superstition, thus checked for the moment, again broke out not only in Judaea, the first source of the evil, but even in Rome, where all things hideous and shameful from every part of the world find their center and become popular.”~Tacitus, Roman historian (56-120 AD) SERMON PASSAGEActs 1:1-10 (ESV) 1 In my former book, Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach 2 until the day he was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles he had chosen. 3 After his suffering, he presented himself to them and gave many convincing proofs that he was alive. He appeared to them over a period of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God. 4 On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about. 5 For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.” 6 Then they gathered around him and asked him, “Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?” 7 He said to them: “It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority. 8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” 9 After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight. 10 They were looking intently up into the sky as he was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them.

Scripture Reference: Genesis 1:2

Many Christians know about the Holy Spirit but haven't truly experienced Him as Helper, Friend, and God. Join Pastor Landon as he unpacks the person of the Holy Spirit and invites you into deeper relationship with Him. NEXT STEPS: Start acknowledging the Holy Spirit as a person. You cannot have a personal relationship with something you don't see as a person. Talk with the Holy Spirit—He is God. You don't switch from praying to Jesus, God, or the Holy Spirit. They are 3 in one. Ask the Holy Spirit, right where you are, to help you recognize His presence and to lead you into all truth. This week, read John 14-16, asking the Holy Spirit to salt your lips to thirst for Him.
