Exploring The Profits In God's Word 1 - I Love God's Word(02.10.24) by Paul Osei Yaw Afoakwa

This Sunday Pastor David shares a message entitled,"I Love God's Peace!" The understanding of who you are in Christ will affect you and impact your world.  In a day and age of spiraling mental health issues, believers have a wonderful resource at their disposal. We have the power of God's Word, the ministry of the Holy Spirit and the Lord Jesus Himself, who is our Peace, interceding for us. This Sunday we will look at the power of God's Peace - the understanding of Shalom through the lenses of God's Word. Listen and be encouraged by this word!

This Sunday Pastor Lynn shares a message entitled,"I Love God's Laugh!" Did you know that God laughs? Scripture uses this terminology to reveal that our God is not intimidated by the enemy, nor our circumstances, and He knows He is victorious. We have also been made to laugh and to live in the fullness of joy as we walk daily in His presence. This Sunday we learn about how God laughs, why God laughs, and how much He enjoys His children! You do not want to miss this inspiring and challenging message! 

This Sunday Pastor Lynn shares a message entitled,"I Love God's Design!" Loving God's presence is loving God's design! God's design for humans is dwelling in His presence every day. Sin destroyed the capacity to receive what God had for us until Jesus made the way for us to once again dwell in His presence! When we dwell in His presence we flourish because the Holy Spirit governs every area of our lives!Listen and be challenged by this word! 

Show Notes:I recently read a definition for repentance: “a change of mind; a turning from sin, accompanied by a turning to God”Matthew 18:3, “The he said, “I tell you the truth, unless you turn from your sins and become like little children, you will never get into the Kingdom of Heaven.”The point of repenting is to admit to something you know you shouldn't have done or been involved in, ask God for forgiveness & return back to Him. But we sometimes forget about the ‘return to Him' part & just take His forgiveness for granted & believe it will all be fine because we repented.There needs to be GENUINE repentance & humbling from us for it to mean something. 2 Chronicles 7:14, “Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land.”But it can feel difficult to get from under sinful behavior because our heart for God is fighting the desire to be like the world & fit in with all their foolishness. 1 John 2:15-16, “Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you. For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from this world.” Here are my 4 tips on how to resist temptation less: Pray About EverythingThere is nothing too small you could pray about. And if you pray about EVERYTHING, you will pray about this thing you are tempted to do & probably end up not doing it.James 1:5, “If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking.”Read the Bible DailySpend time in His word. Really read it & study it to truly understand the context, the nuances & the specific message being given.Psalm 119:11, “I have hidden your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.”Don't Compromise YourselfIf you're in the vicinity of where temptation and sin are about to go down, you gotta leave.1 Corinthians 10:13, “The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure.”Ask Yourself, “Is this Christ-like behavior?”Honestly ask yourself if what you are about to do is something Jesus would participate in. And allow the Holy Spirit, which you receive when accepting Jesus into your heart, to guide you in what you do.Galatians 5:16, “So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won't be doing what your sinful nature craves.”Romans 12:2, “Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God's will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.”Support the showWatch the Video Version of RPG: https://www.youtube.com/@realpositivegirl/podcastsBuy the Planner on AMAZON!: https://amzn.to/3WwthT2Visit me on Instagram or TikTok: @sabrinajoyperozzoTwitter: @realsabrinajoyEmail Me: realpositivegirlpodcast@gmail.com Sign up for my weekly newsletter https://www.sabrinajoy.com/newsletterCashApp Show Donations: $sabrinaperozzo

Welcome to Keya's Room Podcast God Gives Second Chances I am sick , I look like a hot mess BUT it won't stop me from preaching God word. This Chapter That Is Going To Be So Beautiful Especially Because I Am Aware Of My Life & What Is Happening Right In Front Of Me. I Can't Wait To Share This Second Chance With Y'all. I Love Y'all.

You know, I remember when I was 18, I was riding on a train with a friend. I was at a point where I was very frustrated with God and not sure I wanted to be a Christian. As we sat there, and empty pop bottle rolled under my feet. There was a sense of obligation that BECAUSE I was a Christian, I should pick it up and throw it out. In an outburst, I said to my friend, "This is stupid! I feel guilty for not picking it up because I feel like I should because I'm a Christian! But I don't want to do it out of guilt. That shouldn't be why I do it! I should do it because I LOVE God and that is how you love him! You take care of his world!" I've often struggled with feeling like the life of a Christian is a life of obligation, not a life of love. But maybe love goes out the window when I take Him for granted so much. In these verses today, it almost goes right over my head that He healed this woman. I've read about His healings so much, that it is just typical. But it blew this woman away and once she was healed and able, she got up and served him...not because He told her too, but because she was so so so thankful. She loved him for what He did. I think I take so much of my life for granted. So much of the goodness, because shouldn't life be that way anyway? Mostly good? That's a guarantee? But we forget that all of that goodness is always always always a gift. And maybe if we saw it that way, love would drive more of our actions, rather than seeing it as a list of obligations. What do you think?

Is God so repulsive? Why is he repulsive now but so many used to search high and low for him? What are we doing wrong? You know, I remember when I was 18, I was riding on a train with a friend.

Hello and welcome to the show today! In our study of the book of Acts, we have been taking a look at one of the most important conversion stories in all of history, the salvation of Saul on the road to Damascus. Saul had been violently persecuting the Christian Church and was on his way to Damascus to further persecute Christians and prevent them from winning converts in the synagogues there. But something amazing happens to Saul on this road to Damascus in our passage today! He meets the risen Lord! And after he meets Jesus, he was no longer Saul the Jew! He was no longer Saul the Roman; Saul of Tarsus; Saul the highly educated; or even Saul the Pharisee of Pharisees. He was Paul, first and foremost, a what? Listen to… Romans 1:1– 1 Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God, A Genuine Encounter— Saul became an apostle of Jesus Christ. And when you think about the power of that; how the unlikeliest convert (one who hated Christianity) became one of its chief advocates and missionaries, it really speaks to the genuineness and the power of the encounter that he had with Jesus there on that road to Damascus. And today I want you to see in Paul's testimony what a true encounter with Christ ought to produce in the life of a person. Point 1: Dealing With Sin— First, a Genuine Encounter with God Deals with Sin. The first thing God does is confront Saul with the sin that is at the heart of the issue. He first points out his sin in persecuting the Christians, which is (in essence) persecuting Christ Himself. Then he tells Saul to go into the city and await further instruction. And Saul gets up to leave and realizes he has been struck blind. Now this is an interesting part of the story because he is the only one who is struck blind. Why does Jesus strike him blind? What is the purpose of this? God's Light Taken— Well remember how the Jews viewed light and the ability to see? In scripture, God Himself is light and those who know Him walked in the light. In Egypt darkness covered the whole land, except for Goshen, where God's people dwelt. Why did they have light? Because they followed God. And in and throughout the Old Testament those who are fools; those who reject God and his wisdom are said to be those who stumble in the darkness. Jesus even calls the Pharisees blind leaders of the blind, making the point that they do not know either God or His truth. So what I think Jesus is doing here is making Saul experience his own spiritual darkness; his own spiritual blindness. He is making him bear physically what he is spiritually. And so through this Jesus is saying to Saul, “You are so blind, you persecute the very God you claim to serve. You think you are walking in the light of truth when in fact you are lost. I want to communicate with you just how lost you are. Here, let me take away your sight. And then He says to him, “Now stumble on over into the city and you will be told what to do.” Point 2: Producing Humility— Now the second characteristic of a Genuine Encounter with God is humility. Now picture this. Saul, who was expecting to come to Damascus in might and in strength, overwhelming the Christians there with his persecuting power, is now sent into that same city the weakest, most powerless person you could imagine. And sometimes this has to happen to us. We have to be humbled before God can do anything with us. Two Ships Illustration— [In the summer of 1986, two ships collided in the Black Sea off the coast of Russia. Hundreds of passengers died as they were hurled into the icy waters below. News of the disaster was further darkened when an investigation revealed the cause of the accident. It wasn't a technology problem like radar malfunction—or even thick fog. The cause was human stubbornness. Each captain was aware of the other ship's presence nearby. Both could have steered clear, but according to news reports, neither captain wanted to give way to the other. Each was too proud to yield first. By the time they came to their senses, it was too late.] Humbling Ourselves— Now that story may sound may sound ridiculous to us. But let me ask you, are there areas in your life that you are not willing to humble yourself and submit to God? Are you so determined to grip the steering wheel of your own life that you are even willing to crash it into disaster just to escape from having to humble yourself and submit to God's way; God's plan for your life? Now even those of us who are followers of Christ still have to wrestle with this on a day to day basis. Are we going to obey God in humility; or try to do things our own way? And there was another man in this story that also had to learn this lesson. Look with me at verses 10 to 16... Acts 9:10-16 [NIV]— 10 In Damascus there was a disciple named Ananias. The Lord called to him in a vision, “Ananias!” “Yes, Lord,” he answered. 11 The Lord told him, “Go to the house of Judas on Straight Street and ask for a man from Tarsus named Saul, for he is praying. 12 In a vision he has seen a man named Ananias come and place his hands on him to restore his sight.” 13 “Lord,” Ananias answered, “I have heard many reports about this man and all the harm he has done to your holy people in Jerusalem. 14 And he has come here with authority from the chief priests to arrest all who call on your name.” 15 But the Lord said to Ananias, “Go! This man is my chosen instrument to proclaim my name to the Gentiles and their kings and to the people of Israel. 16 I will show him how much he must suffer for my name.” Ananias' Doubt— Now I really feel for Ananias. He is a Christian who has already heard that Saul is coming and he is possibly even in hiding. And God says to him, “You know Saul of Tarsus?” “You mean that guy I and a lot of other Christians are hiding from; the guy who has every Christian he meets thrown into prison? That Saul of Tarsus?” “Yes. That's the one. I just revealed to him a vision of a man named Ananias coming to restore his sight.” I Love God's sense of humor here. He doesn't say that Saul saw just anybody, but somebody in particular: a man named Ananias!  And Ananias is probably talking out loud, “Wow, God, that's pretty specific. You know God, Ananias is a pretty common name. Why don't you grab an Ananias who's a little bit less me. I was on my way to get my name changed anyways. How about Sapphira's husband?” And God says, “Well, he can't.” “Why?” “He's dead.” “Really?” “Yes, he tried to deceive the Holy Spirit.” And Ananias says, “God, I was seriously kidding about that whole name-changing thing. I wasn't really on my way to change it.” And God says, “Go!” So Ananias goes and finds the house Paul is staying in. Look at verse 17... Acts 9:17-19 [NIV]— 17 Then Ananias went to the house and entered it. Placing his hands on Saul, he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord—Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you were coming here—has sent me so that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit.” 18 Immediately, something like scales fell from Saul's eyes, and he could see again. He got up and was baptized, 19 and after taking some food, he regained his strength. Point 3: Being Brought To Repentance:— And this brings us to the third point, which is this: A Genuine Encounter with God leads you to Repentance. Paul not only had his sight restored, but his soul as well, as he received the Holy Spirit into his life. He arose and was baptized, becoming a follower of Jesus Christ; that very Jesus he had met on the road. Now look at the instant change that was wrought about in his life. It says in… Acts 9:20-22 [NIV]— 20 At once he began to preach in the synagogues that Jesus is the Son of God. 21 All those who heard him were astonished and asked, “Isn't he the man who raised havoc in Jerusalem among those who call on this name? And hasn't he come here to take them as prisoners to the chief priests?” 22 Yet Saul grew more and more powerful and baffled the Jews living in Damascus by proving that Jesus is the Messiah. Point 4: An Evangelistic Drive— And so we see that the fourth thing A Genuine Encounter with God leads you to is Evangelism. Anybody who has been genuinely touched by Christ and filled with His Holy Spirit will want to carry that new hope he has found to those who have yet to receive it. And the irony now is that Saul (who had been an enslaver of Christians) has now become an Evangelist for that very faith. Before he was the persecutor; now he is the persecuted, which we see in the very next section. It says… Acts 9:23-26 [NIV]— 23 After many days had gone by, there was a conspiracy among the Jews to kill him, 24 but Saul learned of their plan. Day and night they kept close watch on the city gates in order to kill him. 25 But his followers took him by night and lowered him in a basket through an opening in the wall. 26 When he came to Jerusalem, he tried to join the disciples, but they were all afraid of him, not believing that he really was a disciple. A Trojan Horse?— Now you can really understand where they are coming from. How would you know if he were telling the truth or not? What if he's just faking it to gain information; information he can later use to cause great harm to the Church. Might be kind of a Trojan Horse situation; where you welcome in as a gift the very one who would destroy you. Well, that is what these early Christians were afraid of. And think about it, what are the chances that he would happen to have this kind of change of right now when you know he is seeking out Christians. I guarantee you most of you would not believe him. I probably wouldn't. But what is remarkable is that he really was telling the truth! Yet nobody believes him. It just sounded too good to be true! But look at what is says. It says… Acts 9:27-28 [NIV]— 27 But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles. He told them how Saul on his journey had seen the Lord and that the Lord had spoken to him, and how in Damascus he had preached fearlessly in the name of Jesus. 28 So Saul stayed with them and moved about freely in Jerusalem, speaking boldly in the name of the Lord. When We Avoid Encountering God— You know, Paul had a real, genuine encounter with God. And it changed his life forever. But you know, sometimes I feel we avoid genuine encounters with God. Because He's like a mirror for our hearts, we often don't want Him to be near enough for Him to reveal those areas in our lives we would prefer to keep hidden and un-dealt with. We often forget to humble ourselves before God and submit our way to His. It is not that we don't want to be good Christians. We are just afraid to let God take the wheel of our lives. It's strange. We think we can manage and steer our lives better than the One who made us. And we have all been guilty of this. But what the reality scripture points us to is that if we are to walk in the light as Christ is in the light, we must allow God to deal with our spiritual blindness. We must acknowledge our sins before Him. We must humbly accept His way. We must repent and turn from those sins we are clinging to in our lives. And lastly, we need to take the hope of the Gospel to those who need to hear it. And so today I want to encourage you (if you want to have a genuine encounter with God today) to humble yourself and confess your shortcomings and sins. Repent before the Lord now in this moment and ask Him to give you the strength to do the work He has for you. Let's do so. Amen.
