Mike Zwick & Robby Dilmore are back looking at Revelation 12 and discussing sins and struggles that many people are burdened by in life, yet how Followers of Christ Jesus find Hope, Healing, and Transformation in Him and the Truths of the Scriptures. Be sure to Subscribe to "If Not For God with Mike Zwick" on YouTube @https://www.youtube.com/@ifnotforgodwithmikezwick7858 "I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me" - Galations 2:20

The relationship between faith, love, and hope forms a powerful framework for Christian living, as revealed in Colossians. True godly love can only emerge from genuine faith, distinguishing itself from shallow, conditional human love. This faith-based love transforms relationships and situations with divine purpose and depth. Christian hope stands uniquely secured in heaven, providing stability regardless of worldly circumstances such as economic uncertainty or political turmoil.Spiritual growth requires dedicated knowledge of God's Word and will, achieved through regular Bible study, sound theological understanding, and the ability to discern truth from false teaching. While Christianity doesn't promise a pain-free existence, it equips believers with strength to endure difficulties, hope during trials, and power through the Holy Spirit. This combination of faith, knowledge, and hope enables Christians to maintain an eternal perspective during temporary struggles, serving as a powerful testimony to others.Support the show

Episode SummaryIn this gripping episode of the GoMission podcast, Mark Gillmore interviews Brother Athing, a courageous church planter and missionary in Assam, Northeast India. Brother Athing shares his journey through intense hardship—imprisonment, persecution, loss, and natural disaster—and how God used each trial to deepen his faith and multiply gospel fruit. His story is a powerful testimony of perseverance and the unshakable resolve to follow God's call, even when everything else is stripped away.Note: Brother Athing speaks with a heavy accent that may be challenging to understand at times. A roughly summarized transcript of the episode is available to help you follow along.Topics DiscussedHow God called Brother Athing into missions in AssamInitial church planting and early fellowshipImprisonment and being abandoned by a supporting pastorStarting over after jail, with gospel tracts and hospital outreachLaunching a children's school and living in extreme povertyExperiencing betrayal, church arson, and the death of his brotherContinual persecution, including from radical Hindu groupsRebuilding a mission from scratch and launching a training centerThe conversion of a lead persecutor after receiving a gospel tractStrategic use of education as a gospel platformVision for a missionary training center and the fruit of over 38 churches plantedKey TakeawaysOpposition doesn't mean you're off course—in fact, it might mean you're right where God wants you.God tests before He opens doors—every major breakthrough in Brother Athing's ministry was preceded by trial.Faithfulness bears fruit—churches were planted, leaders trained, and persecutors converted because he stayed.Strategic compassion matters—a children's school became both a testimony and a shield for gospel work.God provides miraculously—from provision of land to the transformation of enemies into allies.If you have your own unique story of gospel advance or if you sense God leading you toward a particular people group, we'd love to hear about it.

In this episode, you'll also hear:How God got Anita's attention when it was time to share her storyAnita's journey through tragedy, and how writing her book served her first – and also helps encourage others around herThe power of working with a book coachAnita's advice for the aspiring author who hesitates out of fear of judgment or resentment from othersA Book Born from TragedyMany aspiring authors have had a dream of writing a book from the time they were young children. But for Anita Morris, becoming an author wasn't something she dreamed about or aspired to –- it was something that happened as a result of a tragic experience in her life.Six months after Anita's husband retired from his career as a firefighter, he was diagnosed with brain cancer. Eight months after that diagnosis, he passed away. “That was the most devastating thing I've ever experienced,” Anita says, “and I didn't know how I was going to move forward with my life.”That's when Anita was reminded of four words that had come to her while caring for her husband:Stand: Anita thought she knew how to be strong, but now it was time to stand in her faith and use the lessons she'd learned from previous trials to carry her through the grieving process.Trust: Anita also needed to remember the sovereignty of God and to trust that what He allows, He allows for a purpose.Endure: It's one thing to endure, but now Anita had to learn to endure with grace and be present in the process of grief – not run away, fight against, or suppress it. Proceed: Finally, it was time for Anita to continue along the path God had ordained for her and enter into His purpose for this new season of her life. Throughout the entire journey of caring for her husband through his cancer and then dealing with his death, Anita had shared her story with her online communities so they could pray with her. To her surprise, many people urged her to write a book about the experience, because her words had helped them deal with trials in their own lives. “That was the beginning of the promptings on my heart to write a book,” she says. “I heard them, but I kind of brushed it off.”But God has ways of getting our attention. While browsing the internet, Anita kept seeing little nudges – a YouTube video about self-publishing that the algorithm just happened to recommend, for example, and a podcast interview she listened to that featured a book coach. “I was like, that is way too strange to be a coincidence,” she says. So she took the hint and signed up for a writer's conference with that book coach – and the rest, as they say, is history. Writing ChallengesAfter setting out on her author journey, Anita had to overcome some challenges to ensure she was putting out the best possible book. First, she had to learn not to limit herself by constantly editing while writing. Her writing coach challenged her to write an entire book in 30 days, without editing a single word. Although Anita admits it was difficult to resist the temptation to edit, she sees now that getting all the words on paper first and editing afterwards helped her finish much faster and kept her from getting stuck along the way. Another challenge Anita faced had to do with the content of her book itself. She knew God wanted her to share a very difficult, painful story about discovering her husband's affair and how they ultimately reconciled, but she was afraid of how others would respond when they read it. Though Anita says she argued with God over whether to include the story in her book, she finally did – and once it was out, she felt a surge of relief. “I don't even think about that anymore – what people are going to think,” she says now. “I have so much freedom, because I told my own story on my own terms, and nobody will ever be able to weaponize it and use it against me. Because I told it first.”As Anita has learned, sharing the parts of our stories that we are afraid to share often completely frees us from that fear. What's more, it helps other people who are going through similar trials to see that there is hope and a way out.  Following Where God LeadsIn addition to being an author, Anita is also a transformational speaker, bringing “a message of hope, resilience, and triumph for those who are living in the midst and aftermath of devastating life trials.”This path actually began before her book was finished, and Anita shares that her first speaking engagement after losing her husband was extremely difficult to prepare for. She knew what she wanted to speak about, but there was so much material to cover that she couldn't even get through half of it in the allotted time frame. “I remember sitting down in the chair in my bedroom crying, and then I started praying,” she recalls. “And then I heard a sweet, still voice say, “The rest of the content is for the book.'” God may not always speak to us in such a direct, unmistakable way, but as Anita has learned, as long as we follow where He leads, He will order our steps and take care of the details we can't figure out on our own. Beautiful Possibilities AwaitNo matter where you are in the writing or publishing process, if you're struggling to move forward, Anita advises that you first seek help from professionals in the field – like a writing coach – and then simply trust the process. “Allow yourself to go through it without trying to make it what you want it to be,” she says. “Because sometimes, when we go into it with our preconceived notions, we end up trying to stick to one form, one framework, or one thing that we think we know is going to work. But when we release ourselves to just trust the process that we're being taught, so many beautiful things can happen.” BIO:Anita Morris is an Inspirational Speaker, sharing a message of hope, resilience, and triumph for those who are living in the midst and aftermath of devastating life trials. She is the Best Selling Author of “STEP Into It, Overcoming Trials that Lead to Purpose,” where she walks her readers through the process of stepping into purpose through personal storms. She's also the Founder & CEO of the popular DIY Fashion Brand, “Anita by Design,” where she teaches women all over the world how to master the basics of garment construction.Anita understands the struggle that arises when one is faced with a personal storm that threatens to rob you of your peace and happiness. After experiencing two of the most devastating trials in her life, she learned how to navigate the process of overcoming which has led to a transformed way of thinking and living. Anita says, “The trials of life don't come to destroy you, but they have the potential to usher you into the purpose for which you were created.” GET CONNECTED:Website: https://www.anitabydesign.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/anitabydesign/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AnitabyDesign/

Anne grew up in poverty and pain. Two of her siblings died in infancy. At five, an eye disease left her partially blind and unable to read or write. When Anne was eight, her mother died from tuberculosis. Shortly after, her abusive father abandoned his three surviving children. The youngest was sent to live with relatives, but Anne and her brother, Jimmie, went to Tewksbury Almshouse, a dilapidated, overcrowded poorhouse. A few months later, Jimmie died. At age fourteen, Anne’s circumstances brightened. She was sent to a school for the blind, where she underwent surgery to improve her vision and learned to read and write. Though she struggled to fit in, she excelled academically and graduated valedictorian. Today we know her best as Anne Sullivan, Helen Keller’s teacher and companion. Through effort, patience, and love, Anne taught blind and deaf Helen to speak, to read Braille, and to graduate from college. Joseph too had to overcome extreme trials: at seventeen, he was sold into slavery by his jealous brothers and was later wrongly imprisoned (Genesis 37; 39–41). Yet God used him to save Egypt and his family from famine (50:20). We all face trials and troubles. But just as God helped Joseph and Anne to overcome and to deeply impact the lives of others, He can help and use us. Seek Him for help and guidance. He sees and hears.

In this episode host, Helen Todd, talks with her 92-year-old father-in-law, an evangelist, pastor and a missionary who continues to travel and preach in spite of his age and stage four cancer. They explore the challenges and complexities of staying faithful, the human tendencies towards self-gratification, and the endurance required in a relationship with God.  Dr. Cecil Todd shares five principles for fireproofing your faith in the face of the most difficult challenges and temptations. You will discover that a personal crisis doesn't have to turn into a spiritual one, that arguing with God is okay as long as we respect His final word, and how crises may pave the way for miracles. He also underlines the significance of generosity and how it can lead to secure provision.

Happy Monday, lovely ladies! Our Bible verse for this week is 2 Corinthians 12:9, "But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you. For my power is made perfect in weakness.

This powerful reminder is especially relevant for Christian women who are facing struggles and trials in their lives. It's easy to try to rely on our own strength and willpower, but we can take comfort in knowing that God's grace is always sufficient. When we embrace our weaknesses and allow Christ's power to work through us, we can find strength and peace in the midst of our struggles. As always, I hope this Bible verse of the week encourages and inspires you to keep pushing forward in your faith journey.
