Yet Your Word reminds me that I can do all things through You, not by my own power, but by Your steady presence working within me. Across India, Brazil, Portugal, the United States, and South Africa, countless hearts whisper this same prayer for courage. Senhor, dá-me força hoje. You meet each one gently. You breathe courage into places where fear has tried to settle, and You lift the weight that presses on the soul. Jesus, You speak the same words that once strengthened Joshua: Be strong and courageous, for I am with you wherever you go. Tonight I hold onto those words as a lifeline. When worry rises early, when confidence feels shaken, when the mind circles through uncertainties, You do not turn away. Instead, You stand beside me with unwavering peace. Your presence becomes my steady ground, and Your hope becomes the light that guides me through every hour ahead. Strength in You is not harsh or heavy; it is calm and gentle, a quiet renewal that rises within. Senhor Jesus, renova o meu coração. You reassure me that I do not walk alone into the unknown and that Your grace meets every weakness with kindness. As nations settle for the night and new days begin across the world, fill my heart with courage that rests fully in You. May Your strength flow through every thought, every decision, every breath, carrying me into tomorrow with renewed confidence. strength in Jesus, Philippians 4:13 devotional, courage prayer, Joshua 1:9 encouragement, Portuguese Christian prayer, India faith search, USA hope prayer, global devotional message, emotional resilience, encouragement for weakness strength, Jesus, Philippians 4:13, courage, Joshua 1:9, devotional, Portuguese, India, USA, prayer, hope, encouragementSupport the showFor more inspiring content, visit RBChristianRadio.net — your home for daily devotionals, global prayer, and biblical encouragement for every season of life.

Send us your feedback — we're listening“Joshua 1:9 — Jesus, Steady My Evening When I Feel Overwhelmed” Live from London, England with Reverend Ben Cooper • Canada • Mozambique • India • Argentina • Cape Verde Joshua 1:9 (NIV): “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” John 16:33 (NIV): “In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” As evening arrives, Jesus, many across the world feel the weight of the day settling onto their shoulders. In India, believers pray for renewed focus after demanding hours. In the United States, many whisper quiet prayers for calm as responsibilities continue. Among Portuguese-speaking Christians, the words força and coragem flow through their hearts with hope, trusting You to guide their steps and bring reassurance into the evening atmosphere. Let this prayer become a shelter for all who feel tired or emotionally stretched at the close of the day. Joshua heard the call to be courageous not because circumstances were easy, but because You were with him. That same truth carries us now. As the light fades, steady our thoughts. Lift discouragement before it settles. Replace emotional heaviness with a sense of Your nearness. Let Your peace move gently through every overwhelmed place within us, reminding us that You have overcome what feels too difficult to face alone. Some gather in quiet homes, some travel through busy streets, some sit in workplaces finishing the final tasks of the day. Wherever we are, Jesus, centre us again. Give courage to those facing hard conversations. Give calm to those carrying burdens. Give rest to minds that have been racing. Strengthen hearts with a steady assurance that tomorrow is held firmly in Your hands. Let this evening be marked by a quiet resolve. Help us breathe deeply, walk slowly, and remember that we are not alone. Stand with us and steady every part of our inner world.

Send us your feedback — we're listeningJoshua 1:7 — Jesus, Guide My Steps as a New Day Begins Live from London, England with Reverend Ben Cooper • South Africa • Chile • United States • India • Angola Joshua 1:7 (NIV): “Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go.” James 1:5 (NIV): “If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.” As dawn approaches and the world begins to stir, Jesus, we look to You for steady guidance. Joshua was told not only to be courageous, but to walk carefully, with focus and clarity. In these early hours, when the mind is still forming thoughts for the day and decisions begin lining up ahead of us, we ask You for the same wisdom. You see every path, every conversation, every challenge waiting beyond the morning light. You know what we cannot yet see. So we ask You to guide each step with calm direction. For those waking in the United States seeking clarity for work, for those in India longing for wisdom for family decisions, and for Portuguese-speaking believers praying “guia-me, Senhor,” Your promise remains constant: You give wisdom generously. Let this morning carry a sense of steady courage, not rushed or forced, but rising gently from Your presence. Remove the noise that distracts. Quiet the thoughts that turn us to the right or to the left. Lead us forward with a stillness that reassures the heart and strengthens the mind. As the day unfolds, let us walk with focus, knowing that Your guidance surrounds every decision. Bring clarity where there is uncertainty, confidence where doubt has lingered, and peace that shapes the rhythm of the entire day. Jesus, guide our steps, our thoughts, and our choices. Make this morning a beginning marked by wisdom and courage. Amen.

Send us your feedback — we're listeningJoshua 1:6 — Jesus, Strengthen My Heart When Worry Rises Early - Live from London, England with Reverend Ben Cooper • Kenya • Brazil • United States • India • Portugal Joshua 1:6 (NIV): “Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their ancestors to give them.” John 14:27 (NIV): “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” In these early hours when the mind wakes before the body and worry rises uninvited, we look to Your words, Jesus, for the calm our hearts long for. Joshua was told to be strong and courageous not because he felt ready, but because Your presence stood with him. Tonight, that same presence steadies us. You remind us that courage is not a feeling but a gift born from Your nearness. As thoughts begin to swirl and tomorrow tries to whisper fear, Your voice speaks peace that settles the deepest places. You say, “Do not let your heart be troubled,” and in these quiet hours we choose to receive that peace. Let Your strength meet every anxious thought, let courage rise gently where uncertainty has settled, and let Your calm fill the early light of this new day. Across the world, from Portuguese-speaking believers praying “Tu és a minha força,” to families in India seeking guidance, to those in the United States needing reassurance for the day ahead, Your promise of peace remains unchanged. You enter the restless places, the worried moments, the fragile thoughts, and You breathe steady courage into us. Jesus, strengthen the one who feels overwhelmed before the day has even begun. Bring clarity where confusion has been, comfort where fear has tried to linger, and gentle assurance that You go before them. As this new day approaches, let Your peace be the anchor that steadies the heart, and let Your courage guide every step. Amen.

Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go.” 2 Timothy 1:7 (NIV): “For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.” As night draws near, Jesus, many around the world feel their thoughts becoming unsettled. In the quiet of the evening, distractions fall away and deeper concerns rise to the surface. Across India, families finish the last tasks of the day and seek peace before the night settles. In the United States, many reflect on what was accomplished and what remains unresolved. Among Portuguese-speaking believers, the words força and coragem move through the heart with gentle reassurance, reminding them that o Senhor está comigo in every late-evening moment. Let this prayer reach each one with calm strength. Joshua was called to courage because the journey ahead required steady focus. Tonight, steady our own minds. Guard our thoughts from drifting into fear. Bring calm to any inner unease. Fill us with the self-discipline that comes from Your Spirit, shaping our decisions and guiding our emotions toward clarity. Strengthen the places within us that feel tired from the day. For those who end this day carrying invisible burdens, give relief. For those whose thoughts feel too loud, bring quiet peace. For those facing uncertainty tomorrow, shine gentle reassurance into their hearts. Let every listener sense Your nearness in the slowing of the evening, knowing You walk with them through each detail of life.

And be thankful.” Joshua 1:7 (NIV): “Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law My servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go.” Jesus, as the morning settles in and thoughts begin to crowd the mind, You offer a peace that does not depend on circumstances. You see how quickly overthinking can rise, how easily small worries grow, and how quietly insecurity tries to shape the day before it fully begins. Your word invites us into calm, steady confidence. You call us to let Your peace rule, not the loud thoughts, not the fears of what could go wrong, and not the pressures that ask for more strength than we feel we have. Holy Spirit, bring gentle clarity to every listener who feels pulled in many directions. Quiet the inner noise that makes decisions feel heavier than they need to be. Steady the heart of the one who doubts their worth or ability. Let Your presence organise the thoughts that feel scattered and restore order where confusion has taken root. Remind us that courage grows when we walk closely with You, and that strength rises when we pause long enough to breathe and listen. Yahweh, guide each step with the assurance that You go before us. Let Your peace weave through today's tasks, responsibilities, and conversations. When overthinking tries to return, draw us back to Your voice—the voice that speaks calm, purpose, and identity. Shape our confidence not from achievement, but from belonging to You. Let this day become steady, manageable, and filled with moments where peace becomes our natural rhythm. Jesus guides my thoughts. His peace steadies my heart.

You remind us that Your strength is not for the moments when we feel confident, but for the moments when we feel unsure, stretched, or tired. Your voice comes gently: My grace is enough for you. My power holds you steady. Holy Spirit, breathe calm into the places where the mind feels unsettled. Bring clarity to thoughts that feel scattered, and lift the quiet pressures that sit beneath the surface. Let peace settle over each listener as the morning light rises. Where someone feels low in strength, remind them that they do not walk alone. Where someone feels uncertain about decisions, steady their heart with quiet confidence. Let this be a morning marked by renewed perspective, gentle courage, and the assurance that You are present in every step ahead. Yahweh, as we step into the day, let Your strength be more than a promise—let it be a reality that shapes how we think, speak, and move. Surround every workplace, home, journey, conversation, and task with Your steadfast presence. Let Your compassion soften strain, Your wisdom guide decisions, and Your peace cover moments that feel demanding. As the Lion of Judah, steady our hearts with a sense of Your nearness, and give us a renewed confidence that You watch over every detail of the day. DECLARATION: Jesus strengthens me. His grace carries me.

Send us your feedback — we're listeningMatthew 5:10–12 — Jesus, Strengthen Every Believer Who Stands Firm Under Persecution Today Seoul • Lagos • Karachi • Minsk • Beijing Secret believers, underground faith, Holy Spirit endurance, courage under threat, hope for the persecuted Matthew 5:10–12 (NIV): “Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness… rejoice and be glad. Psalm 31:24 (NIV): “Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the Lord.” Across the world at this very hour, unseen disciples whisper the name of Jesus behind closed doors, in hidden rooms, in fields, in prisons, and in silence. Faith is costly in North Korea, Afghanistan, Nigeria, and China. Daily life for them includes threats, confiscation of Bibles, fear of arrest, monitoring, isolation, pressure to deny Christ, danger to families, and constant uncertainty. Yet the Holy Spirit strengthens them with a courage human strength cannot create. Jesus, stand with every believer who worships quietly today. Strengthen hearts that feel afraid. Protect those who gather secretly. Comfort those who have lost homes, opportunities, or family because they follow You. Cover pastors who preach in whispers. Guard those who carry Scripture pages hidden in clothing. Surround Christians who face harassment at work, hostility from neighbours, or pressure from authorities. Fortify the weary. Lift the discouraged. Let the Lion of Judah roar courage over those who feel alone. Holy Spirit, give supernatural boldness where fear fights for control. Give wisdom when decisions must be made quickly. Give peace where danger feels near. Give hope where despair tries to rise. Let miracles happen in the dark — protection, provision, revelation, strength, unity, and unseen angelic covering. We declare that no threat can silence the gospel, no system can erase the church, and no enemy can extinguish the flame You have placed in Your people. Jesus, be their shield, their defender, their courage, and their comfort. Yahweh, hold every persecuted believer in Your everlasting arms. Jesus, strengthen every persecuted believer today.

Psalm 46:10 (NIV): “Be still, and know that I am God…” Matthew 11:28 (NIV): “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” Jesus, here I am again in the quiet hours when my thoughts run faster than my faith. You see the overthinking, the panic that rises without warning, the fear of what tomorrow might bring, the uncertainty pressing on my chest, the emotional exhaustion, the mental storms that seem louder than truth, the heaviness I cannot shake, the moments where I feel overwhelmed, restless, unsettled, and unable to quiet my own mind.

Where anxiety overwhelms, breathe rest into my spirit. Cover me with the presence of the Holy Spirit — guarding my mind, steadying my emotions, protecting my rest, and keeping me close to You through these early hours.

Joshua 1:6 (NIV): “Be strong and courageous… because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their ancestors…” Psalm 23:3 (NIV): “He refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name's sake.” Jesus, at this hour we lift before You the persecuted church across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and every region where following Your name costs safety, freedom, family, opportunity, and sometimes life itself. We remember the secret believers in Belarus, the underground church in Turkey, the pressured Christians in Azerbaijan, the suffering church in Ukraine's occupied zones, the whispering church meeting quietly in homes, basements, forests, and hidden places, the prisoners of faith, the pastors under surveillance, the families torn apart, the believers threatened with violence, and those who today will worship You in silence, in fear, in courage, and in absolute devotion. And these mirror the exact long-tail searches rising globally today: prayer for persecuted Christians, prayer for secret believers, underground church prayer, Jesus strengthen believers under pressure, prayer for boldness under persecution, Bible smuggling prayer, Christians suffering for faith, prayer for imprisoned believers, prayer for courage to stand firm, how to pray for persecuted church.

Let Joshua 1:6 be the breath in their lungs, the steel in their bones, the courage in their steps. Let Psalm 23:3 refresh their souls, guide their path, and remind them that You are present in every valley.

Friends, what if the healing we long for is waiting on the other side of letting others in?

Following form Ps Andy's previous messages about the classroom of faith, Ps Gina this week speaks about how God provides encouragement to us through His word. At times she sprinkles this message with personal anecdotes about how God has literally spoken to her through nature, through the Bible and even a message on a note left wedged in a table!Ps Gina also speaks what may be some of her last messages to the church as a whole as senior leadership changes take place early 2026. She is keen to impart a message to us "Be strong and courageous and trust God". The faith we have learnt about in the classroom of faith messages demands courage. In the early verses of the book of Joshua, God speaks to someone who is about to lead His people into the promised land... Joshua 1:6 & following (NIV) " Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their ancestors to give them. “Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”Ps Gina's message today builds on this text by talking about the courage that Faith demands.

In this episode, we talk about eating triggers — those moments, emotions, or people that make us want to eat when we're not physically hungry. You'll learn how to pause, name what's happening, and watch your urges instead of reacting to them. You'll walk away knowing how to: Recognize your unique eating triggers Feel urges in your body without fighting or fearing them “Become the watcher” — calm, curious, and in control Partner with the Holy Spirit for strength and awareness 1 Peter 5:8 (NIV) “Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.” How it applies: This verse reminds us to stay alert — not afraid, but aware. That's what we do when we notice our eating triggers. We stay awake. We see what's really happening instead of reacting automatically. Awareness is spiritual strength.

Episode Summary:Your next season doesn't need more hustle — it needs more hearing.In this quiet yet powerful solo episode, Todd Tononi teaches you how to tune out the world and tune in to the voice of God.Because the answers you're searching for?They don't always come in a sermon or a podcast.They come in the still small whisper — the one that only speaks when you're still enough to hear it.Featured Scriptures:1 Kings 19:11–12 (NIV)“After the earthquake came a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper.”→ The clearest guidance often comes when the noise has stopped.John 10:27 (NIV)“My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.”→ You are wired to recognize God's voice — it's not reserved for the “spiritual elite.”Psalm 46:10 (NIV)“Be still, and know that I am God.”→ Stillness isn't passive — it's the posture of spiritual knowing.Luke 11:28 (NIV)“Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.”→ Hearing is only the beginning. Obedience makes it real.James 4:8 (NIV)“Come near to God and He will come near to you.”→ Proximity to God isn't earned — it's chosen.What You'll Learn:Why most people struggle to hear God's voiceThe difference between internal noise and divine nudges5 practical ways to begin hearing God more clearlyHow to build rhythms of listening into your daily lifeThe one thing God always honors: obedience to the last word you heardReflection Prompts:When have I heard God clearly in the past? What made it possible?What “noise” is most likely to drown out God's whisper in my life?What might God be saying right now — and what would obedience look like?Am I waiting for clarity that only comes after I move?Call to Action:Practice 5 minutes of intentional silence every morning this week.Choose one Scripture from today's episode and meditate on it deeply.Write down what you sense — don't filter it.Share this episode with someone who's navigating decisions and needs stillness.Final Takeaway:The voice of God is not distant. It's not reserved for the perfect.It's near. It's personal. And it's waiting to be heard by you — today.The key isn't turning up the volume of your life — it's turning down the noise.So pause.Breathe.Listen.Because in a world addicted to volume, you have the courage to follow the whisper.Keep showing up… with The Right Intention. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Closer Pt. 4 | August 31, 2025Pastor Wes MorrisExodus 33:12-14 (NIV) Moses said to the Lord, “You have been telling me, ‘Lead these people,' but you have not let me know whom you will send with me. You have said, ‘I know you by name and you have found favor with me.'If you are pleased with me, teach me your ways so I may know you and continue to find favor with you. Remember that this nation is your people.”The Lord replied, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” √ PEACE – God's presence quiets the chaos in my heart and gives me true rest.Mark 4:39 (NIV) He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, ‘Quiet! Be still!' Then the wind died down and it was completely calm.Peace isn't the absence of storms, it's the presence of Jesus in the storm.Psalm 4:8 (NIV) In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety. √ STRENGTH – When I wait on Him, He renews my strength for what's ahead.II Corinthians 12:9 (NLT) Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.Isaiah 40:31 (TLB) They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.Wait: qavah: to twist or bind together, as in making a rope. √ IDENTITY – Rest reminds me I am defined by God's presence, not by my performance.Luke 15:21-22 (NIV) The son said to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.”22 But the father said to his servants, “Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet.”Galatians 2:20 (NIV) I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.REST REDIFINED I. CREATE SPACE FOR PEACE.Psalm 46:10 (NIV) Be still, and know that I am God.Start the day with silence.Create a physical space where you meet with God.Meditate on scripture.II. START EACH DAY WALKING IN GOD'S MERCY AND GRACE.Lamentations 3:22-23 (NIV) Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.“Mercy gave the prodigal son a second chance. Grace gave him a feast.” - Max LucadoIII. REST IN WHO GOD SAYS YOU ARE.1 John 3:1 (NIV) See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!

However, this week we'll see the value of hanging in there and the character formed through faithful perseverance.Memory Verse: James 5:7 (NIV) “Be patient, then, brothers and sisters, until the Lord's coming.

Have you ever felt like you could just coast for a little while in your faith—take your foot off the gas and assume everything will be fine?

This is Christian Meditation for A Bigger Life – a time for you to relax your body and refocus your mind to experience the reality of God's presence. I'm Dave Cover. I want to help you with Christian meditation where you can break through all the distractions and experience God's presence through biblically guided imagination.  If your podcast app is set to skip the silent sections, disable that in your podcast app for this podcast. Genesis 24:63 ESV “Isaac went out to meditate in the field toward evening. And he lifted up his eyes and saw, and behold, there were camels coming.” One thing this tells us is that meditation has been a practice of God's people for at least 4,000 thousand years. The word meditate or meditation appears 22 times in our Bible. But Christian meditation is not about emptying our minds at all, but about filling our minds with the reality of who God is, who we are to God, and the story our life is in. Meditation is an ancient form of prayer that enables God's people to experience awe and wonder by envisioning spiritual realities with “the eyes of our heart” (Eph 1:18). God says, Psalms 46:10 (NIV) “Be still, and know that I am God.” Being still before God is essential if you really want to experience connection with God. CS Lewis (Mere Christianity) “God has infinite attention…to spare for each one of us. …You're as much alone with Him as if you were the only thing He'd ever created.” Zechariah 12:1 NIV “The LORD…stretches out the heavens … and…forms the human spirit within a person...” The same God that created the entire universe also specifically created you to be a YOU in his creation. Forever!  The apostle Paul was speaking to non-Christians when he said… Acts 17:25 NIV “…He himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else.” Each breath is your continuous dependence on God for your life at every moment. The Spirit of the God who created this universe is giving life to your body right now. The apostle Paul also said… Acts 17:28 NIV “In him we live and move and have our being.” Every moment in your life is a kind of experience of God — whether you realize it or not. But realize it now. The life you feel inside your body in a very real sense is feeling the presence of God..  Paul wrote to God's people when he said… 1 Cor 6:19 ESV “…Your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you.” So imagine/envision God's Holy Spirit in your body! God says, “Be still and know that I am God.”  Who can you share this podcast with?

The life you feel inside your body in a very real sense is feeling the presence of God..  Paul wrote to God's people when he said… 1 Cor 6:19 ESV “…Your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you.” So imagine/envision God's Holy Spirit in your body! God says, “Be still and know that I am God.”  Who can you share this podcast with?

The Beatitudes, Pt. 6 | March 30, 2025Pastor Wes MorrisMatthew 5:9 (NIV) Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.Poor in SpiritMournMeekHunger and Thirst for RighteousnessMercifulPure in Heart Shalom: wholeness, completeness, fulfillment, inner rest. Living without deficiency or lack.Romans 5:1-2 (NLT) Therefore, since we have been made right in God's sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us. Because of our faith, Christ has brought us into this place of undeserved privilege where we now stand, and we confidently and joyfully look forward to sharing God's glory. √ He entered into our brokenness.Isaiah 53:3 (NLT) He was despised and rejected— a man of sorrows, acquainted with deepest grief. John 11:35 (NIV) Jesus wept.√ He laid down His rights.Philippians 2:6-7 (CEV) Christ was truly God. But he did not try to remain equal with God. Instead he gave up everything and became a slave, when he became like one of us.√ He took the cost.Colossians 1:19-20 (TLB) It was through what his Son did that God cleared a path for everything to come to him—all things in heaven and on earth—for Christ's death on the cross has made peace with God for all by his blood.PEACEMAKERSI. WALK IN THE POWER OF GOD'S PRESENCE. Exodus 33:12-14 (NLT) One day Moses said to the Lord, “You have been telling me, ‘Take these people up to the Promised Land.' But you haven't told me whom you will send with me. You have told me, ‘I know you by name, and I look favorably on you.' If it is true that you look favorably on me, let me know your ways so I may understand you more fully and continue to enjoy your favor. And remember that this nation is your very own people.”14 The Lord replied, “I will personally go with you, Moses, and I will give you rest.”Psalm 46:10 (NIV) Be still, and know that I am God!John 14:27 (NLT) I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don't be troubled or afraid. II. SHARE THE PEACE OF GOD WITH OTHERS.I John 4:20-21 (MSG) If anyone boasts, “I love God,” and goes right on hating his brother or sister, thinking nothing of it, he is a liar. If he won't love the person he can see, how can he love the God he can't see? The command we have from Christ is blunt: Loving God includes loving people. You've got to love both.John 17:23 (NLT)  I am in them and you are in me. May they experience such perfect unity that the world will know that you sent me and that you love them as much as you love me III. SPEAK PEACE OVER MY SITUATION.Philippians 4:6-7 (TLB) Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything; tell God your needs, and don't forget to thank him for his answers. If you do this, you will experience God's peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand.9 Keep putting into practice all you learned from me and saw me doing, and the God of peace will be with you.

Immeasurably More: The Book of Ephesians: Unified in love Ephesians 4:1-6 (NIV)“As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.” Ephesians 4:2 (NIV)“Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.” Ephesians 4:3 (NIV)“Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.” Ephesians 4:4-6 (NIV)“There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.” Seven essentials to hold true to keep unity:-       One Body-       One Spirit-       One Hope-       One Lord-       One Faith-       One Baptism-       One God and Father The Wesleyan ConfessionIn the essentials unity. In the non-essentials liberty. But in all things, charity/love. Philippians 2:1-8 (NIV)“Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others. In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness, And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death - even death on a cross! The desire of Jesus is that we would walk in love and unity and be his witnesses and his ambassadors can even begin to imagine!

Introduction: Our Need for ConnectionHumans are wired for connection—it's how we thrive.Illustration: Harlow monkey study – Demonstrates that emotional comfort is more crucial than physical needs.We naturally transition through stages of dependence:Completely dependent → Somewhat dependent → Highly independent → Interdependent → DependentConnecting with others is often the hardest, especially as we get older.Key Point: Conflict is not a sign of dysfunction; it's an opportunity for growth in compassion, empathy, and understanding.Understanding Conflict Through ScriptureLuke 17:1-5 (NIV):Jesus said to his disciples: “Things that cause people to stumble are bound to come, but woe to anyone through whom they come.It would be better for them to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around their neck than to cause one of these little ones to stumble.So watch yourselves. If your brother or sister sins against you, rebuke them; and if they repent, forgive them.Even if they sin against you seven times in a day and seven times come back to you saying ‘I repent,' you must forgive them.”The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!”Key Takeaways from Luke 17:Expect Offense: Conflict and offenses will happen—it's a part of life.Avoid Living in Offense: Don't dwell on it or let resentment build.Rebuke and Forgive: We are called to address issues and extend forgiveness.Faith is Required: The disciples' response shows that forgiveness requires a heart transformed by faith.Dealing with Offense and ConflictGreek Insight – "Skandalon":The word “offense” (Greek: Skandalon) refers to a trap or stumbling block.In the Bible, skandalon can be positive (offense of the gospel) or negative (causing others to stumble).Ways People Cause Offense:False counselLeading others into deliberate sinGossip, slander, and false accusationsApplication from Luke 17:3:“Watch yourselves” – Take responsibility for your actions and responses.Address conflict with grace and truth, offering opportunities for repentance and healing.Forgiveness as a Spiritual DisciplineLuke 17:4-5:Jesus calls us to forgive repeatedly, even when offenses happen multiple times a day.The apostles ask for greater faith, recognizing the challenge of radical forgiveness.Ephesians 4:32 (NIV):"Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you."Key Point: Unforgiveness is more damaging to us than to those who hurt us. It keeps us in spiritual darkness and hinders our growth.Practical Steps to Becoming UnoffendableLuke 17:6 (NIV):“He replied, ‘If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, “Be uprooted and planted in the sea,” and it will obey you.'”Steps to Overcoming Offense:Expect Offense: Don't be surprised when conflict arises.Address Offense: Speak truth in love rather than resorting to silence or violence.Forgive Often: Practice ongoing forgiveness as an act of obedience and faith.Choose Interdependence: Healthy relationships thrive on mutual respect and grace.Take Small Steps: Even the smallest act of forgiveness can create lasting transformation.1 John 2:9-11 (NIV):9. Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates a brother or sister is still in the darkness.10. Anyone who loves their brother and sister lives in the light, and there is nothing in them to make them stumble.11. But anyone who hates a brother or sister is in the darkness and walks around in the darkness. They do not know where they are going because the darkness has blinded them.Challenge: What small action can you take today to live in the light and embrace forgiveness?

Welcome to the podcast! In this episode, I discuss the vital importance of forgiveness in achieving true freedom and liberation. Forgiving others not only heals our hearts but also releases us from the burdens of anger and resentment, allowing us to reclaim our peace and strength.  It frees us from the enemy and allows to so grow closer to God for his Plan and Provision to be received. Join Me as I explore how embracing forgiveness can lead to profound personal transformation, helping us break free from the chains that hold us back. My hope today is that this helps you release the strongholds that might be upon you so that you may enter a space of freedom through God's works.

Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another's feet.

Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.III. WE ENCOURAGE ONE ANOTHER.Hebrews 3:13 (NIV) But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin's deceitfulness.I Thessalonians 5:11 (MSG) Speak encouraging words to one another.

This is Christian Meditation for A Bigger Life – a time for you to relax your body, refocus your mind, and to re-imagine and re-narrate your life to a truer reality. I'm Dave Cover. I want to help you with Christian meditation where you can break through all the distractions and experience God's presence through biblically guided imagination.  If your podcast app is set to skip the silent sections, disable that in your podcast app for this podcast. Psalm 46:10 (NIV)  “He says, ‘Be still, and know that I am God.'” The verb in the ancient Hebrew (that this was originally written in) for “be still” can also be translated as, “let go; relax; let drop.” We can let go of our tension and self-guarding in our body when we remember to “know” what it means that God is God. Psalm 37:7 (NIV)  “Be still before the LORD.” “LORD” in all uppercase letters in our English Bibles indicates that in Hebrew God's name, Yahweh, is used (for example, Exodus 3:14-15; Isaiah 42:8). Yahweh is the ancient Hebrew verb form for “HE IS.” God's name, Yahweh, is used more than any other term for God in the Hebrew scriptures. More than “God” is used.  When we survey the various truths associated with God's name, HE IS, in the Hebrew scriptures (what we call the Old Testament), four important aspects of God are emphasized.  HE IS the Creator and Sustainer of ALL that exists, including this entire universe (Ps 33:6; Isa 40:26; Isa 42:5; Isa 44:24).  HE IS the Giver and Sustainer of ALL life everywhere always (Num 27:16; Job 12:10; Acts 17:25). HE IS eternal and forever God (Isa 40:28; Isa 57:15) HE IS ALWAYS infinitely 100% present with you and in control of everything in your life at every moment (Ps 31:14-15; without being any less present or focused anywhere else in the universe, because HE IS infinite). See Jesus's words in Matthew 10:29-31. We often meditate on God‘s name in this podcast because it is the key to experiencing God as HE IS. God's name is filled with wonder and mystery and transcendence for us to meditate on using our biblically guided imagination. So imagine – envision – this reality. He is the Source of all being; he is the Giver of your life and sustains your life at every moment; he is the one who “inhabits eternity” (Isaiah 57:15), and so has the eternal perspective in all your life's circumstances; and he is infinitely, intimately, 100% present with you at every moment and in control of every circumstance in your life.
