Contact the radio station or leave a review on your favorite app. We want to hear from you! ### 1. Stewardship of our Time: “Redeeming the Time” Passage: Ephesians 5:15–17 (NKJV) “See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, 16 redeeming the time, because the days are evil. 17 Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is.” Principle: Every minute is a gift. We must “buy back” each hour from distractions by aligning our schedules with God's priorities—especially the Great Commission. ### 2. Wisdom in Planning: “The Plans of the Diligent” Passage: Proverbs 21:5 (NKJV) “The plans of the diligent lead surely to plenty, but those of everyone who is hasty, to poverty.” Principle: Thoughtful, prayerful planning prevents wasted time and creates margin for gospel opportunities (e.g., inviting neighbors, mentoring new believers). ### 3. Counting Our Days: “Teach Us to Number Our Days” Passage: Psalm 90:12 (NKJV) “So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” Principle: An eternal-perspective reminder that life is brief. When we internalize our limited hours, we'll prioritize what lasts—making disciples. ### 4. Purposeful Living: “Doing All to the Glory of God” Passage: 1 Corinthians 10:31 (NKJV) “Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.” Principle: Every task—work, rest, family time, evangelism—should be offered as worship. That reshapes even “routine” minutes into Kingdom service. ### 5. Prioritizing Prayer & Communion: “Jesus Prayed Early” Passage: Mark 1:35 (NKJV) “Now in the morning, having risen a long while before daylight, He went out and departed to a solitary place; and there He prayed.” Principle: Jesus structured His day around communion with the Father—our ultimate source of wisdom for time management and disciple-making. ### 6. Eternal Urgency: “For What Is Your Life?” Passage: James 4:14 (NKJV) “Whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.” Principle: The fleetingness of life compels urgent obedience to the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19–20). ### 7. Single-Mindfulness: “Deny Yourself” Passage: Luke 9:23–24 (NKJV) “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me. 24 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it.” Principle: Self-discipline in scheduling (saying “no” to lesser things) frees us to “lose” our lives in service—especially in making disciples. ### 8. Balance Work & Rest: “Six Days You Shall Labor…” Passage: Exodus 20:8–10,12 (NKJV) “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy…6 for in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth…12 ‘Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long…'” Principle: Biblical sabbath—and honoring family—establish healthy rhythms that prevent burnout and protect time for disciple-care. ###9. Investing in Others: “Do Not Steal” (as Stealing Time) Passage: Ephesians 4:28 (NKJV) “Let him who stole steal no longer… but rather let him labor, working with his hands what is good, that he may have something to give him who has need.” Principle: Our work (and your time!) isn't just for self—but for generosity. Freeing up “spare” hours to invest in new believers. ### 10. The Great Commission as First Priority Passage: Matthew 28:19–20 (NKJV) “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations…teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always…” Principle: Every time-management decision must be filtered through: “Will this help me obey Jesus's command to make disciples?” **(00:00) END PART 1** **(27:00 – 5:00) BEGIN PART 2** ### Part 2: Practical Advice for Using Time to Be and Make Disciples ### 1. Begin with a Paradigm Shift: Time is Kingdom Currency  • Time is not just something we “spend”; it's something we invest. Just like money, time can be stewarded for temporary or eternal purposes.  • Regularly ask: “Is this activity helping me know Jesus more deeply or helping someone else follow Him better?” “Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time…” (Ephesians 5:15–16) ### 2. Build Life Around Jesus's Priorities, Not Just Adding Him In  • Many busy Christians are trying to fit Jesus into their schedule instead of building their schedule around Him.  • Suggest starting with these 3 buckets and planning around them:  • Time with God (Being a disciple) – prayer, Scripture, Sabbath, silence.  • Time with others (Making disciples) – intentional meals, mentoring, small groups.  • Time on mission (Living sent) – workplace witness, neighborhood engagement, volunteering. ### 3. Combine Your Calling With Your Calendar Help them redeem ordinary rhythms by integrating disciple-making into:  • Meals – “Who can you eat with this week that needs encouragement or the gospel?”  • Commutes – Use it for prayer, audio Bibles, check-in calls with mentees.  • Family time – Lead short devotionals, model hospitality, include kids in ministry moments.  • Work breaks – Strategic encouragement or follow-up with someone God's placed nearby. “Disciple-making doesn't always need new time blocks—it often needs intentionality in existing ones.” ### 4. Create a Disciple-Making Weekly Rhythm Encourage a simple rhythm:  • Daily: Time with God, open eyes to opportunities.  • Weekly: 1 relational touchpoint (e.g., coffee, call, prayer walk).  • Monthly: One deeper investment (e.g., mentoring conversation, service together).  • Quarterly: Retreat or reevaluation—Am I growing? Is anyone growing because of me? ### 5. Say No to Say Yes Help them see that every “yes” is a “no” to something else.  • Challenge: “What are you doing that someone else could do, so you can do what only you can do?”  • Sometimes the most spiritual thing they can do is decline a good thing for the sake of the best thing (Luke 10:41–42 – “Martha, Martha…”). ### 6. Use Tools with Intentionality  • Calendar: Block time for people, not just tasks.  • Alarms/reminders: Prompt prayer, Scripture, check-ins.  • Apps: Bible apps, group chats for discipleship groups, accountability tools.  • Notebooks or journals: Record prayers, disciple progress, insights from Scripture. ### 7. Don't Go Alone—Form a Band of Disciple-Makers  • Encourage small discipleship bands of 2–4 people with shared goals and check-ins.  • Ask: “Who's helping you follow Jesus better? Who are you helping?”  • This builds encouragement, accountability, and shared momentum. ### 8. Encouragement: Grace Over Guilt, Progress Over Perfection  • Remind them that they are not earning God's favor by being busy for Him.  • Jesus is not measuring productivity; He's forming people.  • Celebrate small, faithful steps. Even 5 minutes of prayer for someone is eternally significant.  • God multiplies what we surrender, even if it's small (loaves and fish principle). “You may feel behind, but Jesus is not. He's patient, and He delights in every act of love in His name.” ### Challenge  • “Imagine if every one of us made just one disciple this year.”  • write one name they'll pray for or pursue this month.  • You don't need more time—you need more focus and faith. **(5:00 – 1:00)**  Doctrine Today Jesus and His Present Ministry The Holy Spirit's Role in Disciple Making. Dispensational Baptist view of the End Times Understanding Theology is Important The Gospel and Ongoing Disciple Making Church Role in Discerning God's Will Barriers to Disciple Making Spiritual Warfare Jesus – Incarnation God's Sovereignty Sin and the Call to Make Disciples I. Introduction: The Clear Call of Jesus  • Matthew 28:18–20 (NKJV) “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations…”  • The Great Commission is not a suggestion, but a command.  • Discipleship is not optional for the believer—it's our identity and mission.  • Briefly affirm your audience's desire to follow Jesus more faithfully. II. The Nature and Consequence of Sin  • Romans 3:23 (NKJV) “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”  • Isaiah 59:2 (NKJV) “But your iniquities have separated you from your God…”  • Hebrews 12:1 (NKJV) “Let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us…” Key Points:  • Sin is not just moral failure—it's a barrier to intimacy with God and others.  • Sin entangles and weighs down believers, keeping us from active obedience.  • Our mission to make disciples is spiritual warfare—sin compromises our witness, our clarity, and our power. III. Sin's Direct Impact on Discipleship A. It Weakens Our Witness  • 1 Peter 2:11–12 (NKJV) “…abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul, having your conduct honorable… that they may, by your good works… glorify God.”  • Our credibility is tied to our character. Ongoing, unrepentant sin dulls our message. B. It Diminishes Our Passion  • Revelation 2:4–5 (NKJV) “…you have left your first love. Remember… repent and do the first works.”  • Sin numbs the heart. A lukewarm heart does not multiply disciples—it replicates complacency. C. It Breaks Fellowship and Unity  • John 13:34–35 (NKJV) “By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”  • Sin disrupts love and unity, weakening the Church's witness and the environment in which disciples are formed. IV. Repentance and Restoration for Disciple Makers  • 1 John 1:9 (NKJV) “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us…”  • Psalm 51:10–13 (NKJV) “Create in me a clean heart… Then I will teach transgressors Your ways, and sinners shall be converted to You.”  • Repentance is not the end of ministry—it's often the beginning of renewed fruitfulness.  • David sinned greatly, but through repentance, his voice became a song of redemption that still disciples us today. V. Living Holy to Make Disciples Effectively  • 2 Timothy 2:21 (NKJV) “Therefore if anyone cleanses himself… he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified and useful for the Master…”  • Holiness is not perfection, but readiness—an availability for God's use.  • Personal holiness fuels spiritual authority and fruitfulness in disciple-making. VI. Conclusion: Renew the Mission  • Luke 9:23 (NKJV) “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.”  • Philippians 2:15–16 (NKJV) “…shine as lights in the world, holding fast the word of life…”  • The world needs disciples. The church needs disciple-makers. Jesus is still calling.  • Let us repent where we've fallen, recommit where we've grown weary, and re-engage the mission with holy fire. **(1:00)**  Busyness can suck that life out of you. One reason is that other activities intrude on the work that God is doing in you and through you. Be proactive and put God first in every activity, every day.

Is Trump Building the Third Temple? • The Todd Coconato Show If you'd like to support the ministry, please visit: www.ToddCoconato.com/give Learn more at: www.PastorTodd.org Today, I want to take you on a journey through Isaiah 45, 46, and 47 — three powerful chapters that I believe prophetically mirror the times we're living in. In my recent study, the Lord began to show me something profound: could President Donald Trump be walking in a modern-day Cyrus mantle? Could we be in the middle of a divine setup — one where God is shaking the nations, exposing Babylon, and preparing the way for the next chapter in prophetic fulfillment, including the building of the Third Temple in Jerusalem? Point 1: Isaiah 45 – God Calls Cyrus (The 45th President?) Isaiah 45:1 (NKJV) “Thus says the Lord to His anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have held—To subdue nations before him and loose the armor of kings, to open before him the double doors, so that the gates will not be shut:” Point 2: Isaiah 45:4-5 – God Uses Him Even Without Full Knowledge Isaiah 45:4-5 (NKJV) “For Jacob My servant's sake, and Israel My elect, I have even called you by your name; I have named you, though you have not known Me. I am the Lord, and there is no other; there is no God besides Me.”   Point 3: Isaiah 46 – Babylon's Burden (The Biden Administration Era) Isaiah 46:1-2 (NKJV) “Bel bows down, Nebo stoops; Their idols were on the beasts and on the cattle. Your carriages were heavily loaded, a burden to the weary beast. They stoop, they bow down together; they could not deliver the burden, but have themselves gone into captivity.”   Point 4: Isaiah 46:9-10 – God Declares the End from the Beginning Isaiah 46:9-10 (NKJV) “Remember the former things of old, For I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me, Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done…”   Point 5: Isaiah 47 – The Fall of Babylon Isaiah 47:1 (NKJV) “Come down and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon; Sit on the ground without a throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans! For you shall no more be called tender and delicate.”   Point 6: Isaiah 47:6 – God Allows Captivity, But Also Brings Deliverance Isaiah 47:6 (NKJV) “I was angry with My people; I have profaned My inheritance, and given them into your hand. You showed them no mercy…”   Point 7: The Connection to the Third Temple Ezra 1:1-2 (NKJV) “Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia… the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia… saying, 'All the kingdoms of the earth the Lord God of heaven has given me. And He has commanded me to build Him a house at Jerusalem which is in Judah.'”   We are living in Isaiah 45, 46, and 47 times. We've seen the Cyrus anointing (Isaiah 45), we've endured the Babylonian captivity (Isaiah 46), and now, we are entering the moment where Babylon falls and deliverance begins (Isaiah 47). This isn't about idolizing a man — this is about recognizing the sovereignty of God to use whomever He chooses to fulfill His prophetic timeline. Could Donald Trump be used by God to open the way for the rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem — just as Cyrus did? Only time will tell — but one thing is clear: God is moving. Prophecy is unfolding. And the people of God must be awake, prepared, and watching.

Stepping Into Your True Calling: Walking in God's Blessing by Avoiding Self-Appointment • Sunday Service   Website: www.PastorTodd.org To support this important work: www.ToddCoconato.com/give   In the body of Christ, not everyone is called to the five-fold ministry (apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers). While some are called to these offices, many have misallocated themselves, stepping into roles they were never anointed for. This is why many believers feel stuck, frustrated, and ineffective—because they are operating outside of God's divine appointment. God has promised that when we walk in our true calling, whatever we touch will be blessed and wherever we walk will prosper. But that promise is conditional—it only applies when we are in the right place, doing what He has truly called us to do. If we misstep and self-appoint ourselves, we risk missing the greatest blessings God has for us. Let's dive into the Word to understand why misalignment leads to stagnation and why true fulfillment comes from walking in our God-given assignment. 1. The Five-Fold Ministry Is Given by Christ, Not Self-Appointed Ephesians 4:11-12 (NKJV) “And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ.” 2. Not Everyone is Called to Be a Teacher or Pastor James 3:1 (NKJV) “My brethren, let not many of you become teachers, knowing that we shall receive a stricter judgment.” 3. Every Part of the Body Has a Function 1 Corinthians 12:14-18 (NKJV) “For in fact the body is not one member but many. If the foot should say, ‘Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body,' is it therefore not of the body? And if the ear should say, ‘Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body,' is it therefore not of the body? If the whole body were an eye, where would be the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where would be the smelling? But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body just as He pleased.” 4. God Calls, He Does Not Need Human Approval Jeremiah 1:5 (NKJV) “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.” 5. Many People Run Without Being Sent Jeremiah 23:21 (NKJV) “I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran. I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.” 6. True Blessing Comes From Alignment Deuteronomy 11:24 (NKJV) “Every place on which the sole of your foot treads shall be yours.” 7. Many Are Stuck Because They Are Not in Their True Calling Ecclesiastes 10:10 (NKJV) “If the ax is dull, and one does not sharpen the edge, then he must use more strength; but wisdom brings success.” 8. Jesus Himself Appointed Disciples Mark 3:14 (NKJV) “Then He appointed twelve, that they might be with Him and that He might send them out to preach.” 9. Operating Outside of Your Calling Leads to Trouble Acts 19:13-16 (NKJV) “Then some of the itinerant Jewish exorcists took it upon themselves to call the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits… But the evil spirit answered and said, ‘Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are you?' Then the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, overpowered them, and prevailed against them.” 10. The Key to Success is Obedience Deuteronomy 28:1 (NKJV) “Now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God… the Lord your God will set you high above all nations of the earth.”   God's greatest blessings come when we obey His voice. When we stop chasing titles and positions, and instead submit to our true Kingdom calling, God will bless our steps and everything we touch. Instead of seeking position, seek His purpose—and the blessing

The 9 Gifts of the Spirit • Sunday Service   Website: www.PastorTodd.org To support this ministry: www.ToddCoconato.com/give   1. 1 Corinthians 12:8-10 (NKJV) "For to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues." 2. 1 Kings 3:9-12 (NKJV) "Therefore give to Your servant an understanding heart to judge Your people, that I may discern between good and evil. For who is able to judge this great people of Yours?” The speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing. Then God said to him: “Because you have asked this thing, and have not asked long life for yourself, nor have asked riches for yourself, nor have asked the life of your enemies, but have asked for yourself understanding to discern justice, behold, I have done according to your words; see, I have given you a wise and understanding heart, so that there has not been anyone like you before you, nor shall any like you arise after you." 3. John 4:17-18 (NKJV) "The woman answered and said, 'I have no husband.' Jesus said to her, 'You have well said, "I have no husband," for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband; in that you spoke truly.'" 4. Acts 3:6-8 (NKJV) "Then Peter said, 'Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.' And he took him by the right hand and lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. So he, leaping up, stood and walked and entered the temple with them—walking, leaping, and praising God." 5. John 6:10-13 (NKJV) "Then Jesus said, 'Make the people sit down.' Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand. And Jesus took the loaves, and when He had given thanks He distributed them to the disciples, and the disciples to those sitting down; and likewise of the fish, as much as they wanted. So when they were filled, He said to His disciples, 'Gather up the fragments that remain, so that nothing is lost.' Therefore they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves which were left over by those who had eaten." 6. Acts 11:28 (NKJV) "Then one of them, named Agabus, stood up and showed by the Spirit that there was going to be a great famine throughout all the world, which also happened in the days of Claudius Caesar." 7. Acts 16:16-18 (NKJV) "Now it happened, as we went to prayer, that a certain slave girl possessed with a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much profit by fortune-telling. This girl followed Paul and us, and cried out, saying, 'These men are the servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us the way of salvation.' And this she did for many days. But Paul, greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, 'I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her.' And he came out that very hour." 8. Acts 2:4-6 (NKJV) "And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. And there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under heaven. And when this sound occurred, the multitude came together, and were confused, because everyone heard them speak in his own language." 9. 1 Corinthians 13:1 (NKJV) "Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal." 10. 1 Corinthians 14:4 (NKJV) "He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the church." 11. 1 Corinthians 14:22 (NKJV) "Therefore tongues are for a sign, not to those who believe but to unbelievers; but prophesying is not for unbelievers but for those who believe." 12. 1 Corinthians 14:13 (NKJV) "Therefore let him who speaks in a tongue pray that he may interpret." 13. Proverbs 13:22 (NKJV) "A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children, but the wealth of the sinner is stored up for the righteous." 14. Luke 6:38 (NKJV) "Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you." 15. 1 Corinthians 12:31 (NKJV) "But earnestly desire the best gifts. And yet I show you a more excellent way."

LEGACY is the impact or impression you leave behind in OTHERS. Hebrews 11:8-10 By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going. By faith he made his home in the promised land like a stranger in a foreign country; he lived in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise. For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God. 1. Faith BEGINS with a WORD. Hebrews 11:8a By faith Abraham, when called How To Know When It's God  I go to the WORD OF GOD.  I go to the Lord in PRAYER.  What does GODLY COUNSEL say?  Do I have PEACE? Hebrew 11:9 By faith he made his home in the promised land like a stranger in a foreign country; he lived in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise.  2. Faith is DEVELOPED in a PROCESS. 3. Begins to act as though the WORD has come to PASS. Hebrews 11:1 NKJV Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 4. Faith is ANCHORED in ETERNITY. Hebrews 11:10 For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God.

How We Ride The Storm and Thrive • Friday Service Website: www.PastorTodd.org To give: www.ToddCoconato.com/give As we approach a critical moment in history, with the upcoming election just weeks away, we find ourselves in the midst of a storm. The world is experiencing wars, divisions, and unrest, and it can be overwhelming. But as Riders of the Storm, we are not left without hope or direction. Jesus is in the boat with us. He is the One who calms the storms and commands the winds. This is not a time to waver in our faith but rather to ride the storm with boldness, pressing deeper into our calling and growing more on fire for God than ever before. The mission ahead is clear, and we are to step forward with greater faith as we live out our roles in these last days. 1. Matthew 8:23-26 (NKJV) “Now when He got into a boat, His disciples followed Him. And suddenly a great tempest arose on the sea, so that the boat was covered with the waves. But He was asleep. Then His disciples came to Him and awoke Him, saying, ‘Lord, save us! We are perishing!' But He said to them, ‘Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?' Then He arose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm.” 2. Mark 4:39 (NKJV) “Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, ‘Peace, be still!' And the wind ceased and there was a great calm.” 3. Isaiah 41:10 (NKJV) “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.” 4. Hebrews 12:28-29 (NKJV) “Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. For our God is a consuming fire.” 5. Ephesians 6:13 (NKJV) “Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.” 6. John 16:33 (NKJV) “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” 7. Psalm 46:10 (NKJV) “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!” 8. 2 Timothy 1:7 (NKJV) “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” 9. Romans 8:28 (NKJV) “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.” 10. Matthew 24:13-14 (NKJV) “But he who endures to the end shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.” As Riders of the Storm in these end times, we recognize the turbulence around us, but we are not shaken. Jesus is in the boat with us, and He commands the storm. Our mission is clear: endure, stay focused, and preach the gospel with boldness. This storm is not here to destroy us, but to refine us, to deepen our faith, and to prepare us for the final hour. Let us rise up with more passion, more fire, and more faith than ever before, knowing that we serve a victorious King who has already overcome the world.

Lordwin Jeyakumar - September 29th 2024 - How Do We Embrace the Gift of Patience While Trusting God's Perfect Timing? How do you express the word 'patience' in your native language? People tend to lose patience......... Healthcare System Immigration and Visa Processing        Public Transportation        Traffic and Road Construction Winter Weather and Driving Housing Market Government Services Job Search and Career Advancement Parenting Challenges Relationships and Marriages Caring for Elderly Parents or aging parents What is the meaning of 'patience'? * The capacity to accept or tolerate delay, trouble * Suffering without getting angry or upset. * According to the Bible, patience is often described as the ability to endure suffering, trials, or waiting with faith and trust in God's timing. * It is seen as a fruit of the Spirit, reflecting a calm, steadfast reliance on God's will. Ephesians 4:2 (NLT): Always be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other's faults because of your love. Psalm 37:7 (NLT): Be still in the presence of the Lord, and wait patiently for him to act. Don't worry about evil people who prosper or fret about their wicked schemes. The Fruits of Patience 1. Contentment through Patience 2. Self-Sufficiency in Christ 3. Joy in Suffering 4. Temporary Grief, Eternal Joy 1. Contentment through Patience Philippians 4:11-12 (NLT) 11. Not that I was ever in need, for I have learned how to be content with whatever I have. 12 I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little. Luke 12:15 (NLT) Then he said, Beware! Guard against every kind of greed. Life is not measured by how much you own. 2. Self-Sufficiency in Christ 1 Timothy 6:6 (NKJV) Now godliness with contentment is great gain. 3. Joy in Suffering James 1:2-3 (NKJV) 2 My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience Romans 5: 3-4 (NLT) 3 We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. 4 And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. 4. Temporary Grief, Eternal Joy 2 Corinthians 4:17 (NLT) For our present troubles are small and won't last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever! Is patience alone sufficient to navigate life's challenges, or do we also need faith? Hebrews 6:12 When God's Timing Doesn't Match Ours: A Call to Patience What does the Bible say about timing? Ecclesiastes 3:1 & Acts 1:7 (NIV) & 2 Peter 3: 8 Why doesn't God reveal every detail about our lives in advance? Have you ever been in a situation where you were hoping for something to happen and prayed to God, but it didn't happen as soon as you wanted? Why does God allow delays in our lives? Four Life Principles to Overcome Challenges * Fear Not - Isaiah 41:10 * Fret Not - Psalm 37:1 , Philippians 4:6 , Matthew 6: 25-27 * Forget Not - Psalm 103:2 , Proverbs 3: 1 * Faint Not -Isaiah 40:31 .Galatians 6:9 Are you feeling like giving up on something in your life?

The Zeal of Jehu: A Call to Righteous Action • Friday Service Website: www.PastorTodd.org To give: www.ToddCoconato.com/give Today, we are going to dive into the story of Jehu, a man chosen by God to execute His judgment on the house of Ahab and cleanse Israel of its idolatry. Jehu's story is one of zeal, decisive action, and obedience to God's command, yet it also serves as a warning about the dangers of incomplete devotion. Let's explore the key scriptures to gain a complete understanding of Jehu's mission and its implications for us today. 2 Kings 9:1-3 (NKJV) *"And Elisha the prophet called one of the sons of the prophets and said to him, 'Get yourself ready, take this flask of oil in your hand, and go to Ramoth Gilead. Now when you arrive at that place, look there for Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat, the son of Nimshi, and go in and make him rise up from among his associates, and take him to an inner room. Then take the flask of oil, and pour it on his head, and say, ‘Thus says the LORD: “I have anointed you king over Israel.”' Then open the door and flee, and do not delay.'”*   2 Kings 9:6-7 (NKJV) "Then he arose and went into the house. And he poured the oil on his head, and said to him, 'Thus says the LORD God of Israel: “I have anointed you king over the people of the LORD, over Israel. You shall strike down the house of Ahab your master, that I may avenge the blood of My servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of the LORD, at the hand of Jezebel."'” 2 Kings 9:16-17 (NKJV) *"So Jehu rode in a chariot and went to Jezreel, for Joram was laid up there. And Ahaziah king of Judah had come down to see Joram. Now a watchman stood on the tower in Jezreel, and he saw the company of Jehu as he came, and said, 'I see a company of men.' And Joram said, 'Get a horseman and send him to meet them, and let him say, "Is it peace?"'"*   2 Kings 9:22 (NKJV) "Now it happened, when Joram saw Jehu, that he said, 'Is it peace, Jehu?' So he answered, 'What peace, as long as the harlotries of your mother Jezebel and her witchcraft are so many?'"   2 Kings 9:24 (NKJV) "Now Jehu drew his bow with full strength and shot Jehoram between his arms; and the arrow came out at his heart, and he sank down in his chariot."   2 Kings 9:30-31 (NKJV) "Now when Jehu had come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; and she put paint on her eyes and adorned her head, and looked through a window. Then, as Jehu entered at the gate, she said, 'Is it peace, Zimri, murderer of your master?'" 2 Kings 9:32-33 (NKJV) "And he looked up at the window and said, 'Who is on my side? Who?' So two or three eunuchs looked out at him. Then he said, 'Throw her down.' So they threw her down, and some of her blood spattered on the wall and on the horses; and he trampled her underfoot." 2 Kings 10:16 (NKJV) "Then he said, 'Come with me, and see my zeal for the LORD.' So they had him ride in his chariot." 2 Kings 10:28-29 (NKJV) *"Thus Jehu destroyed Baal from Israel. However, Jehu did not turn away from the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who had made Israel sin, that is, from the golden calves that were at Bethel and Dan." 2 Kings 10:30-31 (NKJV) *"And the LORD said to Jehu, 'Because you have done well in doing what is right in My sight, and have done to the house of Ahab all that was in My heart, your sons shall sit on the throne of Israel to the fourth generation.' But Jehu took no heed to walk in the law of the LORD God of Israel with all his heart

God Is with Us • Sunday Service Website: www.PastorTodd.org To Give: www.ToddCoconato.com/give In this hour, as we witness the unfolding of events that echo the prophecies of old, we as believers must remain steadfast in our faith. The world is changing rapidly; many are grappling with uncertainty, fear, and confusion. However, the Word of God offers us profound encouragement and guidance for these last days. Our faith, which has always been the bedrock of our relationship with God, must be strengthened and refined as we approach the culmination of time. Let us delve into the Scriptures to gain wisdom and encouragement for these times, ensuring that our faith remains unwavering and our discernment keen. 1. Hebrews 11:1 (NKJV): "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." 2. Matthew 24:12 (NKJV): "And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold." 3. 2 Timothy 3:1-2 (NKJV): "But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy..." 4. 1 Peter 4:7 (NKJV): "But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers." 5. James 1:6 (NKJV): "But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind." 6. 2 Corinthians 5:7 (NKJV): "For we walk by faith, not by sight." 7. Revelation 3:10 (NKJV): "Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth." 8. Ephesians 6:16 (NKJV): "Above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one." 9. Romans 8:18 (NKJV): "For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us." Beloved, as we journey through these last days, let us hold fast to our faith with unwavering conviction. Be discerning, watchful, and prayerful. Let us not be swayed by the growing lawlessness and moral decay around us but rather be shining examples of Christ's love and righteousness. Embrace the promises of God and let your faith be a beacon of hope and strength. In every trial and challenge, remember that our faith is our greatest asset. It sustains us, protects us, and assures us of the glory that awaits. May we stand firm in our faith, wise in our discernment, and bold in our witness as we navigate these final days before the Lord's return. Amen.

Why God is Raising Up Davids and Esthers for Such a Time as This? • Friday Service   To Give: www.ToddCoconato.com/give Website: www.PastorTodd.org   We will delve into the stories of David and Esther—two remarkable figures in biblical history who were raised up by God for critical moments in their respective eras. Their decisions to embrace God's call shaped not only their destinies but the destinies of nations. As we go through their stories, I want us to reflect on why their obedience was crucial and how their lives serve as a prophetic mirror for us today. We are the modern-day Davids and Esthers, and the decisions we make now will have a profound impact on our families, communities, and the world. Scripture 1: David's Anointing 1 Samuel 16:12-13 (NKJV): "So he sent and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, with bright eyes, and good-looking. And the Lord said, 'Arise, anoint him; for this is the one!' Then Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brothers; and the Spirit of the Lord came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel arose and went to Ramah." Scripture 2: Esther's Rise to Queenship Esther 2:17 (NKJV): "The king loved Esther more than all the other women, and she obtained grace and favor in his sight more than all the virgins; so he set the royal crown upon her head and made her queen instead of Vashti." Scripture 3: David and Goliath 1 Samuel 17:45-47 (NKJV): "Then David said to the Philistine, 'You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin. But I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. This day the Lord will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you and take your head from you. And this day I will give the carcasses of the camp of the Philistines to the birds of the air and the wild beasts of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel. Then all this assembly shall know that the Lord does not save with sword and spear; for the battle is the Lord's, and He will give you into our hands.'" Scripture 4: Esther's Dilemma Esther 4:13-14 (NKJV): "And Mordecai told them to answer Esther: 'Do not think in your heart that you will escape in the king's palace any more than all the other Jews. For if you remain completely silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father's house will perish. Yet who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?'" Scripture 5: David's Leadership 2 Samuel 5:3-4 (NKJV): "Therefore all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, and King David made a covenant with them at Hebron before the Lord. And they anointed David king over Israel. David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years." Scripture 6: Esther's Boldness Esther 5:1-2 (NKJV): "Now it happened on the third day that Esther put on her royal robes and stood in the inner court of the king's palace, across from the king's house, while the king sat on his royal throne in the royal house, facing the entrance of the house. So it was, when the king saw Queen Esther standing in the court, that she found favor in his sight, and the king held out to Esther the golden scepter that was in his hand. Then Esther went near and touched the top of the scepter." Scripture 7: David's Worship 2 Samuel 6:14-15 (NKJV): "Then David danced before the Lord with all his might; and David was wearing a linen ephod. So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the Lord with shouting and with the sound of the trumpet." Scripture 8: Esther's Intercession Esther 8:3 (NKJV): "Now Esther spoke again to the king, fell down at his feet, and implored him with tears to counteract the evil of Haman the Agagite, and the scheme which he had devised against the Jews." Scripture 9: David's Legacy 1 Kings 2:1-3 (NKJV): _"Now the days of David drew near that he should die, and he charged Solomon his son, saying: 'I go the way of all the earth; be strong, therefore, and prove yourself a man. And keep the charge of the Lord your God: to walk in His ways, to keep His statutes, His commandments, His judgments, and His testimonies, as it is written in the Law of Moses 1 Kings 2:1-3 (NKJV) Continued: "…that you may prosper in all that you do and wherever you turn." Scripture 10: Esther's Victory and Legacy Esther 9:1 (NKJV): "Now in the twelfth month, that is, the month of Adar, on the thirteenth day, the time came for the king's command and his decree to be executed. On the day that the enemies of the Jews had hoped to overpower them, the opposite occurred, in that the Jews themselves overpowered those who hated them." Conclusion: We Are Modern-Day Davids and Esthers In the stories of David and Esther, we see individuals who were called by God for specific purposes in critical times. They were not perfect, but they were willing to say yes to God's call. Their obedience, faith, and courage changed the course of history. We are the modern-day Davids and Esthers. The times we live in are marked by challenges and opportunities, and God is calling us to step into our divine assignments. Just as David faced giants and Esther faced a powerful enemy, we too face spiritual battles and cultural challenges. But God has equipped us with His Spirit, just as He did with David and Esther. We need to understand that our obedience to God's call is not just about our personal destinies; it's about the destinies of those we are called to influence and lead. If Esther had not stepped up, her family would have perished, and the Jews could have been annihilated. If David had not faced Goliath, the Israelites might have been defeated. Our actions today can have far-reaching consequences. God is raising up Davids—people after His own heart who will lead with integrity, worship Him wholeheartedly, and face the giants of our time with unwavering faith. God is raising up Esthers—men and women who will stand in the gap, intercede for their people, and use their influence to bring about justice and deliverance. The call is urgent. We must take a stand now. Our world is in desperate need of leaders who are willing to say yes to God's call, no matter the cost. Just as David and Esther were positioned for a specific time and purpose, we are positioned in this time for God's divine purpose. Let us, like David, be people after God's own heart, and like Esther, be willing to take bold risks for the sake of others. When we align our lives with God's will and step into our divine assignments, we will see His power at work in and through us, bringing about transformation and victory. Let us pray.

My People Die For Lack Of Knowledge • Sunday Service To give: www.ToddCoconato.com/give Website: www.PastorTodd.org Today, we will explore the dangers of syncretism—the blending of different religious beliefs and practices—and understand why the Bible warns us that "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge" (Hosea 4:6, NKJV). As believers, we must guard against allowing false teachings to infiltrate our faith and remain steadfast in the truth of God's Word. Exodus 20:3-4 (NKJV) "You shall have no other gods before Me. You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth." 2 Corinthians 6:14-15 (NKJV) "Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever?" Deuteronomy 18:9-12 (NKJV) "When you come into the land which the Lord your God is giving you, you shall not learn to follow the abominations of those nations. There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, or one who practices witchcraft, or a soothsayer, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, or one who conjures spells, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who calls up the dead. For all who do these things are an abomination to the Lord, and because of these abominations the Lord your God drives them out from before you." Hosea 4:6 (NKJV) "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children." 1 Timothy 4:1 (NKJV) "Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons."   Galatians 1:6-8 (NKJV) "I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed."    

When It Looks the Darkest, God Shines the Brightest • Friday Service Website: www.PastorTodd.org To Give: www.ToddCoconato.com/give Tonight, we gather to reflect on the profound truth that when our circumstances seem darkest, God's light shines the brightest. Throughout the Bible, we find numerous stories where God's power and presence become most evident in times of great difficulty and despair. These stories remind us that God is always at work, even in our darkest moments, and His glory often shines through in the most unexpected ways. 1. Joseph's Imprisonment and Rise to Power Genesis 50:20 (NKJV) "But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive." 2. The Exodus and the Parting of the Red Sea Exodus 14:13-14 (NKJV) "And Moses said to the people, 'Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever. The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.'" 3. Daniel in the Lion's Den Daniel 6:22-23 (NKJV) "My God sent His angel and shut the lions' mouths, so that they have not hurt me, because I was found innocent before Him; and also, O king, I have done no wrong before you.' Now the king was exceedingly glad for him, and commanded that they should take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no injury whatever was found on him, because he believed in his God." 4. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the Fiery Furnace Daniel 3:24-25 (NKJV) "Then King Nebuchadnezzar was astonished; and he rose in haste and spoke, saying to his counselors, 'Did we not cast three men bound into the midst of the fire?' They answered and said to the king, 'True, O king.' 'Look!' he answered, 'I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire; and they are not hurt, and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.'" 5. Jesus Calms the Storm Mark 4:39-40 (NKJV) "Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, 'Peace, be still!' And the wind ceased and there was a great calm. But He said to them, 'Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have no faith?'" 6. The Resurrection of Lazarus John 11:43-44 (NKJV) "Now when He had said these things, He cried with a loud voice, 'Lazarus, come forth!' And he who had died came out bound hand and foot with graveclothes, and his face was wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, 'Loose him, and let him go.'" 7. Paul and Silas in Prison Acts 16:25-26 (NKJV) "But at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them. Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone's chains were loosed."

A Portrait of The Bread He spread a cloud for a covering, And fire to give light in the night. 40 The people asked, and He brought quail, And satisfied them with the bread of heaven. 41 He opened the rock, and water gushed out; It ran in the dry places like a river. Psalms 105:39-41 (John 6:26-27) "Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the Father has set His seal on Him." John 6:27 "Our fathers ate the manna in the desert; as it is written, 'He gave them bread from heaven to eat.'” John 6:31 (NKJV) Because they did not believe in God, and did not trust in His salvation. 23 Yet He had commanded the clouds above, and opened the doors of heaven, 24 Had rained down manna on them to eat, and given them of the bread of heaven. 25 Men ate angels' food; He sent them food to the full. 26 He caused an east wind to blow in the heavens; and by His power He brought in the south wind. 27 He also rained meat on them like the dust, Feathered fowl like the sand of the seas; 28 And He let them fall in the midst of their camp, All around their dwellings. 29 So they ate and were well filled, For He gave them their own desire. Psalms 78:22-29 (NKJV) the tempter came to Him, he said, "If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread." 4 But He answered and said, "It is written, 'Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.'" Matthew 4:3-4 Give us this day our daily bread. Matthew 6:11 Matthew 7:9 2. ...if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? "When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments did you take up?" They said to Him, "Twelve." 20 "Also, when I broke the seven for the four thousand, how many large baskets full of fragments did you take up?" And they said, "Seven." 21 So He said to them, "How is it you do not understand?" Mark 8:19-21 (NKJV) Now may He who supplies seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply and multiply the seed you have sown and increase the fruits of your righteousness, 2 Corinthians 9:10 (NKJV) He answered and said, "It is not good to take the children's bread and throw it to the little dogs." Matthew 15:26 (NKJV) Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits: 3 Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, Psalms 103:2-3 "This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that one may eat of it and not die. 51 "I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread that I shall give is My flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world." John 6:50-51 "It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life. The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? 17 For we, though many, are one bread and one body; for we all partake of that one bread. 1 Corinthians 10:16-17

3 Things to Become a Prophetic Leader and Draw in Your Disciples You're anointed for leadership. Today we prove it. These three things help people identify with your cause, know what you have to offer them and align you with strong leaders. This is the best first step you can make into prophetic leadership. A Prophetic Word From Your Spiritual Parents - "When you first tried to lead, you thought you knew everything. But I took you through a process and brought you down a few notches. You're no longer that same person. I gave you tools and created a strong character in you. I've shaped your steel and removed the dross so you can stand up and be the leader I called you to be. So, this time when you stand up, it won't be in your flesh or authority. For you've died to that. You have the scars. You've gone through the pressure and I've forged the weapon I need you to wield to raise the next generation. So, when you stand this time, you will stand in true authority and wave my banner high." - Craig and Colette Toach Join Your TRIBE! - myprophetictribe.com How to Get People to Follow You (Book)  - amzn.to/3K1ACXC Scriptures Used in This Episode Acts 4:13-14 (NKJV):  Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men, they marveled. And they realized that they had been with Jesus. And seeing the man who had been healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it

Know What You Have to Offer

In this episode, Host Chae Cole charges listeners to consider where they stand in their walk with Christ. With the increased number of occult practices, divination, and societal pressures, it can be easy to drift from the Lord subtly. Listen to this episode to be reminded or inspired to choose the Lord in times like today. Scripture: ‭Joshua 24:14-15 NKJV - “Now therefore, fear the Lord, serve Him in sincerity and in truth, and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the River and in Egypt. Serve the Lord! 15 And if it seems evil to you to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” Host: Chae Cole Instagram: @Coletherapy Website: https://www.coletherapy.com Email: therapycole@gmail.com --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/coletherapy/support
