Khotbah MDC Surabaya satelit Graha Pemulihan: Biarlah di tahun 2025 dan juga di tahun-tahun mendatang Tuhan yang terus menolong, sebab hanya Dia yang memegang masa depan kita. Dia itu Tuhan yang setia. Tantangan adalah sebuah kesempatan bagi setiap kita untuk dapat melihat bagaimana mukjizat Tuhan dinyatakan. Bagian kita adalah tetap melangkah dalam iman, dan melihat kemuliaan-Nya dinyatakan. Ketika tidak tahu lagi apa yang harus dilakukan di dalam hidup ini, tetaplah memutuskan untuk terus mendekat pada Tuhan. Sebab, “There's a private place reserved for the devoted lovers of Lord, where they sit near Him and receive the revelation-secrets of His promises.” (Psalms 25:14, The Passion Translation / TPT). Marilah mencari Tuhan dengan bersungguh hati di awal tahun ini, karena kita akan memasuki jalan yang belum pernah dilalui sebelumnya. —Pdt. Lydia CSES, Crossing the Jordan.

Welcome to our newest series, titled When You Pray. We are going to spend the next several weeks meditating verse by verse from the prayer Jesus taught His disciples. We hope this series blesses your relationship with God, creating richness and depth in the way you pray to your Heavenly Father.“When you pray, you are not to be like the hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and on the street corners so that they may be seen by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full. But you, when you pray, go into your inner room, close your door and pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you.“And when you are praying, do not use meaningless repetition as the Gentiles do, for they suppose that they will be heard for their many words. So do not be like them; for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.- Matthew 6:5-8 NASB 1995“Pray, then, in this way:‘Our Father who is in heaven,Hallowed be Your name.‘Your kingdom come.Your will be done,On earth as it is in heaven.‘Give us this day our daily bread.‘And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.‘And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from evil. [For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.']- Matthew 6:9-13 NASB 1995We read these same verses from the following translations: New Living Translation (NLT), The Passion Translation (TPT), Amplified Bible, Classic Edition (AMPC), and The Voice (VOICE).May these be more than just words you recite, we pray they come alive for you.

Synapses are where the business of the nervous system happens.(Note: this is an archived episode, normally for paid subscribers only but available for everyone for 7 days!)Lately, we've been talking about the basics of self-brain surgery to learn how to think about our thinking, and the ideas behind my new book.But this isn't just some “self-help” or motivational speaker-type thing. Because the vast majority of your life, the decisions you make, the relationships you have, the things you accomplish or strive for come out of how you think: your attitudes, your thought patterns. Everything about how you handle stress, unexpected challenges, and the hard parts of life is determined by your thinking.But the problem is, most of us spend our lives reacting to our thinking, because we never think about our thinking.And the reality is, our baseline thoughts are not very reliable most of the time. Why? That answer is rooted in the science of how our nervous systems are wired. The bad news is that your nervous system has a set of responses to challenges, threats, and stresses, and that set of responses isn't very specific. In other words, you basically feel the same things in your body when a tiger is actually chasing you as you do when you hear a sound in the next room and wonder if someone's breaking into your house- even if it's just the ice maker. Those triggered responses aren't very helpful when they make us reflexively freak out.But the good news is, your brain can be trained to separate the response from the stimulus. But it requires brain surgery.That's why I'm always saying, “You can't change your life until you change your mind.”In other words, if you keep thinking the same thoughts- if you never change how you look at things or the mental framework from which you approach the world- then you're going to keep experiencing the same patterns and outcomes.And the part of the nervous system that connects two nerves, or nerves and muscles or other organs, is called a synapse. In your brain, there are about 100 trillion of them. Trillion with a T. And when those synapses don't work right, you don't work right.Today, we're going to look at two diseases that affect the synapses between your nerves and your muscles. And I want to show you a little of how the nervous system works, so we can see how important it is to make sure we have healthy synapses.If you want to become healthier, feel better, and be happier, you've got to think about your thinking. But sometimes life creates unhealthy connections- sick synapses- that trigger thought patterns and behaviors in us we're not even aware of.You can't change your life until you change your mind. And severing sick synapses- breaking down those bad connections life has created and making better ones- is a key to getting that done.Remember Proverbs 17:27-28 in The Passion Translation (TPT):27 Can you bridle your tongue when your heart is under pressure?That's how you show that you are wise.An understanding heart keeps you cool, calm, and collected,no matter what you're facing.That's one of the secrets to becoming Infinitely Happier, friend.Learning to stay cool, calm, and collected no matter what we're facing. That's useful during a global pandemic, but it's also useful in everyday life. And it doesn't happen by accident. It happens by severing sick synapses. My friend, we're going to learn how, and we're going to start today.Hope is the First Dose: A Treatment Plan for Recovering from Trauma, Tragedy, and Other Massive Things is coming out on July 25, but you can pre-order it now anywhere books are sold.

It's Self-Brain Surgery Saturday!Look: Life is Hard. But Learning Self-brain Surgery Can HelpIn the last episode, we talked about the basics of self-brain surgery to learn how to think about our thinking and learn to biopsy our thoughts- put a little pause in there between what happens to us, what thoughts pop up- and how we respond, either in terms of how we proceed to think or feel, or in what we actually.Listen: Life is not brain surgery. It's harder. You can actually train someone to do brain surgery. But you have to live life to get good at it. But you CAN learn self-brain surgery with a little help, and it will help you think better so you can become healthier, feel better, and be happier.That's why I'm always saying, “You can't change your life until you change your mind.”In other words, if you keep thinking the same thoughts- if you never change how you look at things or the mental framework from which you approach the world- then you're going to keep experiencing the same patterns and outcomes.I'm bringing you back some of the tools we first talked about in 2021, but today I want to start by talking about the importance of worldview and the problem of cognitive dissonance. Here's a thought from Natasha Crain via Facebook:In this episode, we'll get into the reasons why this important worldview distinction plays into our neuroscience and how crucial it is to be in charge of our thought life!I suspect you wouldn't be here listening to a podcast designed to help you reshape your thinking if you were super thrilled with the patterns and outcomes you've been living with. I know I'm not.It's time to take control of our brains, the most important six inches of real estate in each of our live, the space between our own ears.Last episode, we talked about how to pre-load some ammo, some good words and helpful thoughts, into our brains and hearts so that when stressful moments come, we'll be able to call on those good things and use them to manage anxiety.And that is a great instrument, a powerful tool to use in our fight against the learned helplessness of being emotional slaves to our first thoughts. Because the first thought you have in response to something or someone or some memory is so often wrong, or just a reflexive, triggered pattern of thinking, that it's almost self malpractice to go with it.So, just like in the real operating room, the secret to successful self-brain surgery is training, preparation, planning, and practice experience.Today, we're going to look at how those four things- training, preparation, planning, and practice experience- play into successfully managing our minds and helping us overcome the issues that continually seem to drag us down.Proverbs 17:27-28 in The Passion Translation (TPT):27 Can you bridle your tongue when your heart is under pressure?That's how you show that you are wise.An understanding heart keeps you cool, calm, and collected,no matter what you're facing.That's one of the secrets to becoming Infinitely Happier, friend.Learning to stay cool, calm, and collected no matter what we're facing. That's useful during a global pandemic, but it's also useful in everyday life. And it doesn't happen by accident. It happens by self-brain surgery.

Today, Brian Simmons and I discuss one of my favorite books of the Bible, Song of Songs. Please note that there are audio issues when Brian and I share the mic. The majority of the message has clear sound. I am learning a new program and apologize for the error. DR. BRIAN SIMMONS is the lead translator of The Passion Translation®. The Passion Translation (TPT) is a heart-level translation that uses Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic manuscripts to express God's fiery heart of love to this generation, merging the emotion and life-changing truth of God's Word. The hope for TPT is to trigger inside every reader an overwhelming response to the truth of the Bible and to reveal the deep mysteries of the Scriptures in the love language of God, the language of the heart. Brian is currently translating the Old Testament. His most recent releases include Genesis: Firstfruits and Isaiah: The Vision. After a dramatic conversion to Christ in 1971, Brian and his wife, Candice, answered the call of God to leave everything behind and become missionaries to unreached peoples. Taking their three children to the tropical rain forest of Central America, they planted churches for many years with the Paya-Kuna people group. Dr. Simmons established leadership for the churches that Jesus birthed, and, having been trained in linguistics and Bible translation principles, assisted with the translation of the Paya-Kuna New Testament. After their ministry overseas, Brian and Candice returned to North America, where Brian began to passionately work toward helping people encounter the risen Christ. He and his wife planted numerous ministries, including a dynamic church in New England (U.S.). They also established Passion & Fire Ministries, under which they travel full time as Bible teachers in service of local churches throughout the world. Brian is the author of numerous books, Bible studies, and devotionals that help readers encounter God's heart and experience a deeper revelation of God as our Bridegroom King, including Throne Room Prayer, The Sacred Journey, Prayers on Fire, The Divine Romance, and The Vision. Brian and Candice have been married for more than forty-eight years and have three children, six grandchildren, and three precious great-grandchildren. Their passion is to live as loving examples of a spiritual father and mother to this generation.

Hi, I just felt to read all of the Book of Mark Chapters 1-18 but only the words of Jesus (in red) thanks to Bible Gateway which allows you to show the words in red. I hope you enjoy it.

Brian Simmons has always been a wild man. His wildlife began in rural Kansas in his teens when he started smoking and doing drugs. As a 'D' student in highschool, Brian dropped out and began to hitchhike across the US. He spent three years of his life as a vagabond, never knowing how he would make ends meet.  In this era, Brian recieved a draft notice to join the army. He soon fell in with other draftees and continued partying and smoking pot. Eventually, his perennial goofing off led to the threat of a court marshal. As all this was going on, a fellow service man invited Brian to a meeting off base, with the promise that there would be girls there. The meeting turned out to be a church service and  the preacher spoke on Sodom and Gomorrah. Brian felt so convicted that, as soon as the preacher told everyone to bow their heads and pray, he ran for the door. He only got as far as the front steps before breaking down in tears. He went back the next week and got saved that day.  Soon after receiving Christ Brian's Commanding Officer recieved a letter that the army was honorably discharging Brian and that he would not be court marshalled. Free of the army, Brian traveled home and found out that a group of hippies in his hometown got saved and thye had been praying for Brian's salvation. One of the members of this group was his a beauty queen of the town. Brian and Candice met and within three weeks they were engaged! At their wedding they made a vow to spread the gospel by going to the nations. They went to Bible college and then a missions bootcamp where they learned the science of phonetics and language.  With their schooling completed Brian, with his pregnant wife, and two children headed to the jungles of Panama. As the young family landed to meet the tribe they would be translating the Bible for, chants of "kill Brian" came through from outside the plane. Brian was terrified, thinking the tribe was going to kill them. Hear the incredible explanation of this crazy first encounter.  For eight years, Brian and Candice and their little family lived amongst the tribe. They learned the language and translated the Bible for the local people. They only came back to the US once in all that time. Here how the cultural differences tested Brian's love for the tribe, and helped them lead an entire unreached people group to Christ. You will love The Conversion of Brian Simmons. Brian and Candice Simmons: Translators of The Passion Translation Bible. Brian and Candice are true pioneers in ministry. Dr. Simmons is currently working as the lead translator of The Passion Translation. After a dramatic conversion to Christ in 1971, Brian and Candice answered the call of God to leave everything behind and become missionaries to unreached peoples. Taking their three children to the jungle of Central America, they pioneered church plants for many years with the Kuna people group. As a linguist, Brian also served on a team to translate the New Testament into the Paya-Kuna language.  After their time as missionaries the birthed numerous ministries, including a dynamic church in Connecticut.  They also established Passion & Fire Ministries, under which they travel as Bible teachers in service of local churches throughout the world. In time Brian had a divine encounter where God spoke to him that he needed to re-translate the Bible. Unsure of such an endeavor, a divine encounter with a “fiery man” who walked through his bedroom wall, confirmed the call to do a new translation of the Bible. A translation that captures the “heart behind the words” of Scripture.  This new translation is called The Passion Translation (TPT)!

God's always perfect timing can be one of the largest hurdles we have to understand in our lives.I am sure each one of us can easily recall various times in our life praying day, after day, after day, after day for some situation? Perhaps it was for healing, for provision of finances, for a life-partner, for anyone of a hundred different things, people, or situations. Yet, it seemed as if those prayers were unanswered, as if God was just letting you remain in a state of limbo without a clear answer.The world around you was continuing to move on while leaving you in a place you did not want to be. I can well recall times in my own life seeing people happily living their lives, wondering how could they do this? Impatiently, I wanted God acting now to resolve my situation. Furthermore, I did not want to endure another day of unanswered prayers.We all want good things to happen in our lives, but too often we want it now, not later. When it doesn't happen that way, we are tempted to ask, "When, God, when?" Most of us need to grow in the area of trusting God instead of focusing on the "when" question. If you are missing joy and peace, then most likely you are not fully trusting God.Realising God's timing in my life has been one of the BIGGEST lessons I have had to learn. Often this is not easy, but involves a conscious daily commitment to patience and surrendering my life to Him. Through it all, however, it can be one of the most freeing and peaceful lessons you can learn.1. God has a timetable for everything that happens“There is an APPOINTED TIME for everything, and there is a RIGHT TIME for every event under heaven” Eccles 3:1 (NASB)God uses the phrase “right time” 96 times in the Bible. God has a right time for everything! This verse lets us know that we do not all live in the same season at the same time. We should never be jealous of someone who is enjoying harvest while we are still in the planting season. Remember, they had to go through a season of planting just as you might be now. Seeing the results that person might now be enjoying should actually be an encouragement to understand and trust that God is doing the very best for you in your present season. Seeding time represents learning the will of God. Each time I choose God's will instead of my own, I am planting a good seed that will in God's timing bring a harvest.2. God does not tell us the details in advance“God has given us a desire to know the future. He always does everything just right and on time, but people can never completely understand what He is doing” Eccles. 3:11 (NCV)There are three primary reasons why God does not show us the future:It would scare us, and possibly overwhelm us.We would try to manipulate it.God wants us to TRUST Him completely.“Jesus answered, The Father is the One who sets the fixed dates and the times of their fulfillment. You are not permitted to know the timing of all that He has prepared by His own authority” Acts 1:7 (The Passion Translation - TPT)3. God is never in a hurry, and He's never late2 Peter 3:8 (TPT) “So, dear friends, don't let this one thing escape your notice: a single day counts like a thousand years to the Lord Yahweh, and a thousand years counts as one day.”God's sense of time is very different to our own. God is timeless and He is not bound by time. God's timing is perfect. Most times I am in a hurry and God is not. My timing is imperfect. God is not early, nor late…He is always right on time!GOD speaking to the prophet Habakkuk: “For the vision is yet for the appointed time; It hastens toward the goal and it will not fail. Though it tarries, wait for it; For it will certainly come, it will not delay.” Habakkuk 2:3 (NASB)3. God's timing is not always convenientEverything God does is out of love. God is love! Everything happens at the right time, and not at the easiest time with no pain involved.4. At the right time God can do anything instantlyGod spoke the entire universe into existence instantly. We try to accomplish things in our way, in our own time, and our situation is not going anywhere.God said: “I am the Lord, and when it is time, I will make these things happen quickly.” Isaiah 60:22 (NCV)Too often we try to take control over every part of our situation. We try doing things we feel are right without asking God first, invariably for the situation to only get worse. Nothing short of complete surrender to God is what is required; only then are things likely to start to change for the better.THE MOST DIFFICULT PLACE TO BE IN LIFE IS GOD'S WAITING ROOM - YOU ARE IN A HURRY AND GOD IS NOT!I believe these words sum up for many of us in just one sentence how we can feel at times. Why is this taking so long God, why do I have to go through all this, I am tired Lord, I cannot do another day of this… Lord why is this continuing on?The book of Genesis tells the story of Joseph, who waited many years for the fulfillment of the dream God had given him. He was falsely accused and imprisoned before the time came for him to do what God had shown him he was to do. The book of Exodus tells us that God led the Israelites the longer, harder way on their journey to the Promised Land because He knew they were not yet ready to go in. There had to be time for their training, and they had to go through some very trying situations. They wasted a lot of time wondering about God's timing, but God never failed to take care of them and show them what He wanted them to do. The same is true in our lives.Seven years ago the out-break of civil war suddenly forced the abandonment of the agricultural project which I managed in South Sudan. At the time I was owed by my employer more than one year's salary payments. This sudden change of circumstances with four children to support subsequently left us in an extremely tenuous situation for several years. It was, however, a great time of spiritual growth as a couple and family where we came to clearly recognise God as our source, much more clearly than at any point previously in our lives. With the passing of time God also plainly guided my patient handling of the relationship with my former employer so that exactly at His timing when His plans were ready to be revealed the long-owed moneys are now moving for God's purposes to be fulfilled. God's perfect timing, almost seven years later.So why are there delays that do not fit to our timetable:To test our faith, andTo grow our character.God is more interested in what you become, than what you do.The Lord says: “At the RIGHT TIME I will answer your prayers!” Isaiah 49:8 (NCV)God answers EVERY prayer…. “no” is an answer, and “not yet” is an answer. A delay is not a denial. When we experience a delay it tends to cause a lot of negative emotions. A delay creates stress, anger, worry, envy, and sometimes self-pity.Such delays can seem to be the hardest times and lessons in our life. The salary payment delay I described was YEARS, not days, weeks, or months. In that period we certainly learnt to trust God more completely than ever previously. We learnt to hand over and depend more than ever on God as our source. God wanted us to completely trust Him, and Him alone.God wants us to do four things while we are in His WAITING ROOM:Fear NotFret NotForget Not, andFaint Not1.FEAR NOT! Trust God completelyInstead of fear dominating my life, I now have faith dominating my life. Over the years I have learnt to trust God in times that I do not understand. Trusting God causes my fear to subside. In researching this message I read varying accounts that the phrase “fear not” appears in the Bible anywhere from 200 up to 365 times – if it is the later, then that's one “fear not” verse for every day of the year!Jesus said: “Don't yield to fear. All you need to do is keep on believing.” Mark 5:36 (TPT)2. FRET NOT! Be patient and humbleWhen I checked the definition of the word fret it says: to be constantly or visibly worried or anxious.Every time you wait patiently on God, it is a sign of faith and humility.“Wait and trust the Lord. DON'T FRET when others get rich or when someone else's plans succeed. And don't get angry or upset – it only leads to trouble.” Psalm 37:7-8 (NCV)Too often we can have our eyes on others, instead of focussed on God. We are comparing ourselves and our situation to others. Worry is worthless! You are wasting that moment. Worry cannot control the past or the future, it messes up the right now. Instead of worrying - PRAY!“Don't be pulled in different directions or worried about a thing. Be saturated in prayer throughout each day, offering your faith-filled requests before God with overflowing gratitude. Tell Him every detail of your life.” Philippians 4:6 (TPT)3. FORGET NOT! Study God's promises to youThe Bible is filled with the promises of God to each of one of us, more than 6,000 promises in fact. It is our OWNER'S MANUAL of life.“If you keep looking closely into God's perfect Word that sets people free, and you keep on studying it, and you DON'T FORGET it, and you put it into daily practice – you will be BLESSED by God in ALL you do!” James 1:254. FAINT NOT! Don't give up“So let's not allow ourselves to get fatigued doing good. At the RIGHT TIME we will harvest a good crop if we don't give up or quit” Galatians 6:9 (The Message)DON'T GIVE UP - LOOK UP!Remember that it is all in God's perfect timing. He has a timetable for everything, He does not tell us all the details, God is never in a hurry, He is never late, and His timing is not always convenient! Consequently, in the storms of life we can trust God, we can be patient and humble, we can count on God's promises and keep our eyes on Him. Our job is not to figure out when, but to make up our mind that we will not give up until we cross the finish line and are living in the radical, outrageous blessings of God. Trusting God brings life. Believing brings rest.I pray a blessed week ahead for each and every one of you in daily walk with the Lord. May His perfect timing be revealed in some aspect of your life this week to encourage and draw you closer to Him.

ỌMỌLÚÀBÍ PODCAST | EPISODE 002 PROVERB CONSIDERED: "Òòjọ́là ńṣu imí àgbagbà." INTERPRETATION: The shit (faeces) that comes from eating a plantain meal comes on the same day. In other words, on the same day you eat plantain meal, expect to visit the loo. MEANING: The consequences of certain actions are virtually immediate. Moreover, by implication, all our actions, ultimately have consequences. TEXTS FOR SCRIPTURAL REFLECTION: Acts 12:20-23 and Proverbs 18:20-21 Acts 12:20-23 The Passion Translation (TPT) 20 Now, during those days, Herod was engaged in a violent dispute with the people of Tyre and Sidon. So they sent a united delegation to Caesarea to appeal to him and reconcile their differences with the king, for Herod controlled their food supply. First they enlisted the support of his trusted personal assistant, Blastus, who secured them an appointment with the king. 21 On the chosen day, Herod came before them, arrayed in his regal robes. Sitting on his elevated throne, he delivered a stirring public address to the people. 22 At its conclusion the people gave him a round of applause. The crowd shouted, “These are the words of a god, not a man!” 23 Immediately, an angel of the Lord struck Herod with a sickness, an infestation of worms, because he accepted the people's worship and didn't give the glory to God, and he died. Proverbs 18:20-21 Good News Translation (GNT) 20 You will have to live with the consequences of everything you say. 21 What you say can preserve life or destroy it; so you must accept the consequences of your words.

Proverbs 18:17 The Passion Translation (TPT) 17 There are two sides to every story. The first one to speak sounds true until you hear the other side and they set the record straight.[a] Footnotes: Proverbs 18:17 The text implies that a legal testimony in a courtroom may seem to be correct until cross-examination begins. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/theleadershipboost/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/theleadershipboost/support

In Isaiah 61, he declares that the Spirit of the Lord is upon me, and Jesus quoted this portion of scripture as he stood in the temple teaching before the teachers in it's fulfillment. As you pray this verse, believe and get ready for the Spirit of the Lord to be upon you for ministry. He is IN you and He will rest UPON you! Luke 4:18-20 The Passion Translation (TPT) 18–19 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, and he has anointed me to be hope[a] for the poor, freedom for the brokenhearted, and new eyes[b] for the blind, and to preach to prisoners,[c] ‘You are set free!' I have come to share the message of Jubilee,[d] for the time of God's great acceptance[e]has begun.”[f] 20 After he read this he rolled up the scroll, handed it back to the minister, and sat down. Everyone stared at Jesus, wondering what he was about to say. Isaiah 61 (NASB) The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me, Because the LORD has anointed me To bring good news to the afflicted; He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to captives And freedom to prisoners; To proclaim the favorable year of the LORD And the day of vengeance of our God; To comfort all who mourn, To grant those who mourn in Zion, Giving them a garland instead of ashes, The oil of gladness instead of mourning, The mantle of praise instead of a spirit of fainting. So they will be called oaks of righteousness, The planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified.

Today we discuss the movie The Lion King. My message today for you today is: Come Out of Hiding! I actually have a worship song to share with you to go along with the message - Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch… There is no reason to hide, nothing you have done or will do can seperate you from God's Love! One of my favorite verses is the biblical text for this message: Romans 8:37-39 The Passion Translation (TPT) 37 Yet even in the midst of all these things, we triumph over them all, for God has made us to be more than conquerors, and his demonstrated love is our glorious victory over everything! 38 So now I live with the confidence that there is nothing in the universe with the power to separate us from God's love. I'm convinced that his love will triumph over death, life's troubles, fallen angels, or dark rulers in the heavens. There is nothing in our present or future circumstances that can weaken his love. 39 There is no power above us or beneath us—no power that could ever be found in the universe that can distance us from God's passionate love, which is lavished upon us through our Lord Jesus, the Anointed One!
