327 – What are you most hungry and thirsty for?What do you want more than anything else in the world? To be successful, to have a great job and make lots of money, to have a loving family and good friends? Do you want to have a lot of power and influence? Do you want to make a difference in the world and help people who are less fortunate than you?Maybe a better question is: What does God want you to do more than anything else? You may already have an answer for that and be working in that direction. But lots of folks these days are preoccupied with trying to get what they want and do what they want, without really thinking about what God wants them to do with their lives.Then there are those folks who have all the outward signs of success but there's still a hunger for something more meaningful, something more substantial. It's a hunger that can only be satisfied by things of the Spirit.In this episode, we're going to talk about What it means to be hungry for spiritualityHow this kind of hunger can be satisfiedThe blessing that comes as a resultWhat happens when you experience and are filled with the righteousness of God? You can't keep it to yourself. You will be blessed and your light will shine and become a blessing to everyone you come in contact with. ∞∞∞∞∞∞Show notes:  For a full transcript of this episode and all Bible verses mentioned, go to thebiblespeakstoyou.com/327.Text me your questions or comments.Support the showIf you enjoy the podcast, please rate and leave a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify__________________James Early, the Jesus Mindset Coach, is a Bible teacher, speaker, and podcaster.

Charlie Kirk's assassination revealed a disturbing new cultural and political reality for those who share any of Kirk's views: it is possible, in our day and age, to be shot for speaking your mind. How can we recover from this dark event, whose effects have reverberated across the globe? How can we reclaim the possibility of disagreement with each other without resorting to violence? What conditions must be in place to make civil debate both possible and productive again, especially as our society appears to be growing more polarized?

Today is our Praying for Memphis Sunday! As we aim to support and strengthen our community, we reflect on the book of Jonah and his story in Scripture.

Sunday's message on Nov 16, 2025 at Covenant Word Church, Key West FL See the full message: “Praying in the Interests of the Kingdom" - Pastor Kevin Kerr, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RH-8UoOy1sk

In this powerful continuation of the 10 Dimensions of Prayer, the message shifts from simple requests to deep spiritual legislation. Discover the legal authority of Intercession, where you stand in the gap to alter history, and the precision of Petition Prayer that demands covenant rights rather than begging. Learn how to weaponise Thanksgiving to confuse the enemy, use Confession to align your reality with God's logic, and access the highest realm of power through Praying in the Spirit. This teaching will equip you to move beyond emotional praying into a lifestyle of spiritual maturity that births miracles and breaks every resistance.

In this episode Daniel shares that it is harder for us to hear the Holy Spirit when we are not listening. However, when he's receptive, God speaks strongly to him through the scriptures.

Read OnlineThe Lord said, “Pay attention to what the dishonest judge says. Will not God then secure the rights of his chosen ones who call out to him day and night? Will he be slow to answer them? I tell you, he will see to it that justice is done for them speedily.” Luke 18:6–8It's interesting that Jesus uses the example of a dishonest judge to illustrate the importance of praying to God, calling out to Him day and night for justice. As the parable goes, this judge cared little about a widow in his town who continually came to him asking for a just decision. He felt as though she was continually bothering him. Because she was so persistent, the judge thought to himself, “...because this widow keeps bothering me I shall deliver a just decision for her lest she finally come and strike me.” Jesus' conclusion from this parable is quoted above.The simple lesson we ought to learn from this parable is that we must be persistent in prayer. God will always answer our prayers, seeing to it that “justice is done” speedily. But many people have prayed and prayed and prayed for some situation, prayed even for justice, and it appeared that God did not answer their prayer. Thus, some may question the promise of Jesus that persistent prayer will always be answered and justice always be rendered.If this is your experience, it is essential that you remind yourself of two things. First, Jesus' words are true. When we persevere in prayer and trust in God, He hears us and answers. This is our Lord's unwavering promise. But secondly, the “justice” that God delivers may often be different than the justice we expect. It may be that we want someone to pay for a wrong they did to us, but after praying fervently, our expectation is not met by our Lord. For this reason, it is essential that we know that God answers every prayer we pray, but in accord with His perfect will and wisdom. Therefore, God's view of justice at times may be very different than ours. At times, His justice is satisfied by His invitation to us to show mercy in abundance. True mercy always satisfies justice.Take, for example, the case of someone speaking in a rude manner to you. If you offer that situation to our Lord, He will enter in and provide His grace for you to deal with it in accord with His will. Perhaps He will soften the other person's heart so that they apologize, or perhaps, if they don't apologize and their heart is not softened, then God's answer to your prayer will be to give you the grace of humility so that you can love that person despite their unrepentance. Regardless of the way our Lord intervenes, the fact remains that He will intervene and enable you to fulfill His perfect will. If, however, your prayer is that the person be held accountable and condemned, then you are trying to tell God what to do, and He will not accede to your request. All of our prayer must ultimately be for the fulfillment of God's perfect will in accord with His wisdom. Reflect, today, upon how completely you trust in God. Do you know, with certainty, that He will answer every prayer that you fervently pray with faith in accord with His divine will? Believing this is freeing and enables you to live more fully in union with Him. If there is some issue with which you struggle right now, even some apparent injustice, then entrust it to our Lord, day and night without ceasing, and know that His grace will guide you as He answers you in accord with His will.My all-wise Lord, Your will is perfect in all things, and You always bestow Your grace upon me when I pray without ceasing. Please give me a trusting Heart, dear Lord, so that I will never waver in my hope that You will always answer my prayers in accord with Your will. Jesus, I trust in You.Image: Parable_of_the_Unjust_Judge_(Granovitaya_palata,_1881-2)_2 by ilove truth, license Public Domain Mark 1.0 UniversalSource of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life!

JOIN THE 7 DAY RESET - ▶️ www.therebuiltman.com/7dayreset   In episode 302 of The Rebuilt Man, Coach Frank Rich exposes the hard truth most men never hear about porn addiction: you're not stuck because you're weak or broken—you're stuck because you're trying the wrong solutions.   Men often turn to blockers, therapy, praying harder, more discipline, or even more sex… hoping something external will fix an internal identity conflict. But the reality is this:   Porn addiction is not about behavior. It's not about self-control. It's about identity.   Frank breaks down the seven most common strategies men use to quit porn—and explains why each one fails to create real, lasting transformation:   Porn blockers & accountability software Blockers protect boys. Identity transforms men. Therapy focused only on the past Understanding pain doesn't rewire patterns or change behavior. Reading the Bible & praying more Praying harder doesn't rewire neural pathways—action does. Men's groups & 12-step programs Comfort doesn't change you. Identity does. White-knuckling, willpower, or NoFap You cannot fight a neurological addiction with sheer grit. Trying to quit or "staying busy" Staying busy is not healing—it's avoiding. Having more sex or getting into a relationship This isn't a lack-of-sex issue—it's a dopamine and identity issue. Frank then lays out the only path that actually leads to sustainable freedom:   Identity transformation powered by structure, purpose, discipline, and brotherhood.   This episode will challenge you, encourage you, and give you a clear next step toward freedom.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Most men aren't stuck in porn because they're weak. You're not broken, and God has not abandoned you. Blockers protect boys; identity transforms men. Understanding your pain doesn't fix your patterns. Praying harder won't rewire your brain. Comfort and community alone don't create transformation. You can't out-grit a neurological addiction. Busyness is a distraction, not healing. Porn addiction isn't about sex—it's about emotional escape. Identity transformation is the ONLY path to long-term freedom. Call to Action: If you're tired of waiting for motivation to show up and ready to start building real structure and freedom in your life — join the FREE 7-Day Porn Reset today. ▶️ www.therebuiltman.com/7dayreset   – Follow Coach Frank: IG - https://www.instagram.com/coachfrankrich   YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@CoachFrankRich   Website - https://www.rebuiltrecovery.com/homepage

Don't forget to grab your free scripture journal at ⁠⁠⁠PrayingChristianWomen.com/journal ⁠⁠⁠today!What if you're feeling spiritually dry and distant—like life has you stuck in a desert of doubt, haunted by family baggage or your own regrets, desperately craving that close connection with God but hearing the nagging voice inside say, "Where is He when I need Him most?" How do we push through those nights when worry feels like our only companion, turn our inner chaos into a quiet trust, and show up for worship anyway, even when we feel too broken or unqualified to lead the way? In Psalm 42, the sons of Korah—descendants of a guy who rebelled big-time against God and paid the price—open up about their deep longing for Him, turning a family curse into a powerful song of hope that reminds us of David's own thirst and points ahead to Jesus welcoming the tired and thirsty to rest by the Rock that never runs dry. Join us for this heartfelt 15-minute prayer through Psalm 42 on the Praying Christian Women podcast as host Jamie Hampton shares the amazing story of the Korah crew's comeback as proof of God's second chances for all of us, and encourages you to claim that promise—"I will praise Him again"—no matter what mess you're carrying, so you can expect honestly, hope boldly, and walk right back into the presence of a God who says you're never too far gone.

What does it mean to fast, and why does Scripture tie it so closely to prayer? In this episode, Dot and Cara open Matthew 4:1–4 and talk about fasting not as a way to manipulate God, but as a way to draw near, remove distractions, and realign our hearts with His will. Together they explore how biblical fasting differs from today's health trends, how hunger can point us back to prayer, and how this practice can tune our hearts to trust God more deeply.
