Podcasts about Purify

“So Samuel did as the Lord instructed. When he arrived at Bethlehem, the elders of the town came trembling to meet him. “What's wrong?” they asked. “Do you come in peace?” “Yes,” Samuel replied. “I have come to sacrifice to the Lord. Purify yourselves and come with me to the sacrifice.” Then Samuel performed the purification rite for Jesse and his sons and invited them to the sacrifice, too. When they arrived, Samuel took one look at Eliab and thought, “Surely this is the Lord's anointed!” But the Lord said to Samuel, “Don't judge by his appearance or height, for I have rejected him. The Lord doesn't see things the way you see them. People judge by outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” Then Jesse told his son Abinadab to step forward and walk in front of Samuel. But Samuel said, “This is not the one the Lord has chosen.” Next Jesse summoned Shimea, but Samuel said, “Neither is this the one the Lord has chosen.” In the same way all seven of Jesse's sons were presented to Samuel. But Samuel said to Jesse, “The Lord has not chosen any of these.”‭‭- 1 Samuel‬ ‭16‬:‭4‬-‭10‬ ‭NLT‬‬

The Messenger of the {New} Covenant {Jesus} Is Coming – Is He Coming to Purify You or to Judge You? MESSAGE SUMMARY: The people, in God's Judgment articulated in Malachi 3:5, are the people of God. These people are not the unbelievers; these are the people that say they are following God. Malachi 3:5, articulates those transgressions, including the absence of a “fear of the lord”, in which God: “will draw near to you for judgment. I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, against the adulterers, against those who swear falsely, against those who oppress the hired worker in his wages, the widow and the fatherless, against those who thrust aside the sojourner, and do not fear me, says the LORD of hosts.” To this end, Paul reminds us again in Romans 2:4-5 of a pathway to or away from God's Judgment: “Or do you presume on the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that God's kindness is meant to lead you to repentance? But because of your hard and impenitent heart you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath when God's righteous judgment will be revealed.". Additionally, in Proverbs 1:7 we find that the “fear of the Lord” provides us with “wisdom”. On the other hand and in the absence of our “fear of the Lord”, Proverbs 1:7 tells us that we are “foolish”: “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction.”. The messenger of the Covenant is coming – He is coming to either purify you or to judge you.   TODAY'S PRAYER: Father, I confess that when difficulties and trials come into my life, large or small, I mostly grumble and complain. I realize the trials James talks about are not necessarily “walls,” but they are difficult to bear, nonetheless. Fill me with such a vision of a transformed life, O God, that I might actually consider it “pure joy” when you bring trials my way. I believe, Lord. Help my unbelief. In Jesus' name, amen.     Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 94). Zondervan. Kindle Edition.

By Mary Lindow The words, “The Harsh Winds of Life”  have been playing themselves over and over in my mind. As I have pondered them and have allowed the Voice of the Holy Spirit to instruct me as to why I have been impressed with this statement, I sense the Lord addressing many deeper issues that are well anchored and maintained within our souls as believers.   HARSH WINDS These blustery currents in the natural can be devastating to property, trees, and all living-breathing creatures. We have all seen what the devastation of hurricanes and tornadoes can do in a very short amount of time. Often when listening to the traumatic stories of those who have lived through a nightmarish storm, the realities of what they hold near and dear have been laid bear and brought to the surface. Many weep over the loss of family photographs or tender things like Grandma's old chipped china and are unconcerned about larger material items, but are deeply thankful for the safety of family members after a traumatic event. Others, are shaking fists at the sky and are enraged that they have been infringed upon during a difficult time, and want somebody else to pay for it!   THE HARSH WINDS OF LIFE BLOW UPON THE GODLY AND THE UNGODLY.  NO ONE IS EXEMPT. There are some of life's storms that threaten to blow away everything we've depended on as well. Friendships are tested, relationships are strained, and the Lord uses these harsh winds blowing against our lives to remove the crusty chaff that can form and harden around the seed of our lives. Those who are independent in nature find a bitterness creeping into their attitudes and heart. They feel infringed upon when things are not easily controlled or maneuvered in their favor. And so, the Holy Spirit allows the winds to blow until a conviction penetrates the self centered soul, and exposes the fleshy comfort zone of, ‘My Way, My World, My Rights”! "No man has power over the wind to contain it;  So no one has power over the day of his death.  And no one is discharged in time of war,  So wickedness will not release those who practice it." -Ecclesiastes 8:8   HOW LONG WILL THE HARSH WINDS BLOW? As long as we practice wicked behavior in the eyes of the Lord, and no matter how hard we try, we cannot stop it! He is winnowing us, allowing us to be caught up into the refining wind of the Holy Spirit's conviction so that the chaff and waste places in our souls are removed. And trust me my friends, anything that you may be hiding or pretending wasn't “that bad”, that harmed someone else, well God will allow it to come to the light to be either judged or to be cleansed and yes, there may be consequences that you don't like.   WE CAN'T HARM OTHER PEOPLE, OR ABUSE THEM, SEXUALLY PREY UPON THEM, SPIRITUALLY ABUSE AND DOMINATE OR SLANDER, and then pretend that it wasn't “that big of a deal”! It's a huge deal to God and he will continue to pursue us in order to cleanse us if we will allow him access. (Yes you can say "ouch" right about now!)   CHAFF MUST BE REMOVED.  BUT WHY? Chaff is a waste material plowed into the soil or burned. Chaff, as a waste product from grain processing, shows us a symbolic use of the idea that refers to something seen as worthless. Now, this is where we read, "to separate the wheat from the chaff" from Matthew 3. It means to separate things of value from things of no value. Another example is in Psalm 1 which says: "Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind blows away".   WE CHRISTIANS OFTEN PRESUME THAT BECAUSE WE ARE REDEEMED THROUGH THE BEAUTIFUL SACRIFICE OF CHRIST FOR OUR LIVES, THAT WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR AN EASIER AND MORE PRIVILEGED LIFE. This is simply not so! We are given a shield and a holy stamina to withstand the wiles of this world, but no free passes to a life of ease.   THE LORD LOVES ALL OF MANKIND. He longs for ALL of mankind, (that includes you and I) to come to a place of trust in His way, not “our way”. Fully stripped of self-will, self-gratification, self- justification, and self-focus. Matthew 5:45 says~  “He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, And sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.”   I KNOW! I KNOW! THIS STINGS! "But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth." James 3:14 About now, I can hear a few righteous folks saying, "I would never boast about envy! " Well! Selfish ambition is well hidden in our personal behaviors. We offer gifts or opportunities for others to be blessed or helped as long as we are feeling in control and benevolent at the time of the offer or good intention. But when the winds of life shift and the Lord allows the chaff of "waste materials" in our soul to be Tornadoed —bitterness and exclusive rights abound! Huffiness, abrupt harshness and passive aggression (which means getting even) will manifest and expose the soul's clinging nature, which does not want the hand of God striping away any safety veneer that we use to protect our approach to life.   A CHANGE IN THE SPIRITUAL CLIMATE HAS OCCURRED! John 6:18 says, “A strong wind was blowing and the waters grew rough.” Jesus allowed the wind to be a teaching point for his disciples. They had walked with Him, talked with Him and served alongside Him. But trusting Him when the Storms and Harsh winds blew revealed a weakness that we all must look at, and often. We trust the Lord when things are going our way, but when the Harshness of a storm blows us off the course that we set, many times we run to our own devices or “Plan B”.   SO MANY AT THIS TIME IN THIS DIFFICULT AGE ARE SCREAMING, “Lord! Don't you care about me? The winds are blowing, and I am fearful for my life! If you Love me, why are you allowing this horrid event to occur?” Even Peter in his zeal to get out of the boat and see if it was indeed Jesus calling to him to come, once he was out of the safety of his own control and the winds blew against him, he focused on the wind, and not upon Jesus, who was there the whole time. Peter cries out, "LORD I am perishing! SAVE ME!”   CONTROL IS A DEEP, DEEP NEED. Perhaps THE deepest need people have, is for control. When we feel out of control, we experience a powerful and uncomfortable tension between the need for control and the evidence of “inadequate control”. Without the Presence of God in our lives, we will attempt to control everything, every event, and every person around us in order to attain the sense of order and “identity power” that we crave.   DRAWING NEAR TO GOD It was James, the brother of Jesus, who wrote to the believers in Jerusalem, "Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, sinners, and purify your hearts, you double- minded people!" (James 4:8). If we draw near to God, he will respond and draw near to us. Drawing near to God is spending time with Him, worshiping Him, praying and talking to Him, inviting Him into every aspect of our lives. EVERY.  PART.  OF.  OUR.  LIFE.   BRING YOUR HEART UNDER HIS LORDSHIP James gives us the blueprint for drawing near or “right up close” to the Lord.  If you've committed sin, confess it, get rid of it. Next, ask the Lord to examine your heart, your motives, and the things that make you do what you do.   Bring your heart under His Lordship as well. May our actions be manifestations of a clean heart and conscience. Allow HIM to remove the Chaff, the wasted time controlling things, and TRUST Him to align your life. Notice that when he writes about this he says, "Purify your hearts, double-minded people."   WHAT DOES HE MEAN BY "DOUBLE-MINDED"? Well, a person who is double-minded is drawn in two completely different directions. And so he or she will get nowhere fast because loyalty is divided. They will vacillate between faith and unbelief. And, a double-minded person is unstable in all his/her ways and his/her spiritual walk is inconsistent because he/she tries to serve God and his/her own interests, and gamble their life against the Harsh Winds. We've all learned that this kind of living never works.    YOU CANNOT SERVE TWO MASTERS. Friends again I say this under the anointing of the Holy Spirit, the master that you serve whether it be hiding something that is a secret sin or offense to The Lord, or things that you are aware of that have dishonored others, they will be brought into the light one way or the other. If you think you can hide it, if you think you can gloss it over, God will eventually bring it into the light and have you exposed for deception. Or, you choose to get the help you need and you can humble yourself! Yes, there may be consequences you don't like, because of your actions and choices. But repentance and accountability will save your soul. It may not save your marriage, it may not save your ministry, and it may not save your job or your relationships. But it will save your soul, because humility enters, and God can re-create what has been destroyed and damaged.   GOD DOESN'T PLAY GAMES! No one is going to get very far with God by playing spiritual games. It will soon be discovered that the only people playing the game with you will be you, yourself, and again, YOU.  It's just like people thinking that they can "ride the fence" into the kingdom. There is no riding the fence; there is no lukewarm support group. You're either in or out. If we really want to know Him, we are going to have to get serious about our relationship with Him.   WE DON'T WANT DIFFICULT!  I will tell you right now, that even as I write and speak these words, I can feel the resistance to pruning and more change in my gut!   Are you in a pruning, shocking, "getting trimmed back" difficult season right now?  Most everyone is!  Feeling like your wings have been clipped? Are you seeing a pattern of lethargy and a dullness of joy maybe in your daily life?  Don't waste those struggles friends! Know that God is very... VERY... intentional. And, He has a good plan for all of it.  Every challenge is an opportunity to practice walking one day at a time, with really clear thinking and gratitude, and He is right there, inside you, to help you.   LIKE I SAID BEFORE! WE DON'T WANT DIFFICULT!  But my oh my, I do want to be like Him! So I'm in surrender-mode now, friends.  I'm saying, “Cut away, Lord. Go deep.”  WHY? Because I want ALL that He has for me.  I want the fruit.  I want all that abundance, and I know it's waiting for me when this weird and awkward season changes.   THERE IS ANOTHER PHENOMENON I FIND THAT HAPPENS DURING THE PROCESS, WHEN THE HARSH WINDS OF LIFE ARE BEARING DOWN. And, one that I find that is unhealthy to ignore. The enemy of our soul is observing and is feverishly “taking notes” about this difficult process, and I believe he finds it quite enjoyable; he laughs and ridicules and flings missiles of insults that shout that, "only a loser needs this kind of difficult adjustment ”.  This of course, is a lie but, one which we can tend to believed on a bad day! Listening to the wrong voice can tempt us to believe the blowing away of chaff in our lives is punishment, and comes from God being mad at us.  It can cause us to pull back from deeper fellowship or social engagements (social distancing tools too, like Face Time, ZOOM, integral) these paralyze honesty, transparency and humility. It can lead to self-hatred, self-protection, denial about how we hurt others with half-truths, and so on!   I AM TRULY BECOMING MORE AWARE IN MY SPIRIT THAT GOD CAN ONLY USE ME—OR “BEST USE ME”, THROUGH THE PARTNERSHIP OF HIS POWER AND MY WEAKNESS.    A wise and well-tested man by the name of Alan Hood must have had a few pruning clippers dig into his life at time or two and learned this lesson. He stated,  “To Be Pruned Is To Lose The Resources, Whether Monies or Physical Strengths Upon Which Everyone Around You Measures You As Successful.” LET'S READ THAT AGAIN…      …S  L  O  W  L  Y !    “To Be Pruned Is To Lose The Resources, Whether Monies or Physical Strengths Upon Which Everyone Around You Measures You As Successful.”   TRYING TO USE OLD THINGS WHEN GOD IS TRYING TO GIVE US NEW THINGS IS REALLY SUCH FOOLISHNESS!  Psalm 85 talks about Restoration, Re-tooling and Revival. Verse 8 says,  “I will listen to what God the Lord says; He promises peace to his people, His saints —but let them not return to folly.”   I'M TRUSTING THE LORD'S GOOD AND GRACIOUS HAND IN THE PROCESS THAT THE WORLD IS EXPERIENCING RIGHT NOW.  I know God does not intend to leave even a healthy fruit-bearing branch how it is, but He is always after a more abundant harvest for His people. I don't get it, I don't like or want difficult!  But I also don't want a puny little sick looking basket of bitter, green, unusable fruit out of life!  He will “give the increase” when I reach the end of this seeming devastation of stymied ideas and “put on hold” plans, and let me tell you something crazy, I feel it coming!  The increase! I'm learning to WALK in harmony, in tune with the truth that, “He is dwelling like healthy sap, in me, and will keep sin and despair from having dominion over my life”. (Romans 6:14) YOUR LIFE TOO!    A MOMENT IN HIS ANGER - A LIFETIME IN HIS FAVOR. God disciplines for a moment when He wishes to get our attention and our lives may indeed become painful for a period, but then comes His favor. God doesn't delight in either our depression or our damage.  And, when He begins to deal with the chaff in our lives, it is for our advantage, that we may be conformed to His likeness and reflect His holiness. When we sense God's disapproval, when it appears He has withdrawn from us, it is only so that we see our utter need of Him.   WHEN LIFE SEEMS TO BE SO SOUR, WHEN EVERYTHING CRUMBLES, then we must remember what we “say we believe”, that God's favor is with us, because of Christ's worthiness given to us, because we are adopted and are His - which means, that His favor always wins out over His disapproval.   THIS PICTURE IS PAINTED WELL BY THE WORDS "WEEPING REMAINS FOR A NIGHT."  Weeping and sorrow are pictured as a traveler who comes to stay for a night. The pain and sorrow we feel may seem as though it has moved in with us like an unwelcome guest, who decides to stay for a very long time.   REJOICING THOUGH, COMES IN THE MORNING. Your “mourning”, will dissipate in the morning”. Your winter, will melt into summer. God will replace your sighing, with singing. Grief, will give way to gladness. What was once bitter, will be made sweet. And, what was once a desolate wilderness, will be transformed into a paradise.   LIKE THE FIRST RAYS OF THE SUNRISE WHICH DISPEL THE HARSH WINDS AND GLOOM OF NIGHT,  GOD GIVES US JOY WHEN THE DARKNESS OF OUR PROBLEMS SEEM AS THOUGH THEY'LL NEVER LEAVE.   YOUR CROSS IS HIS GLORY What is so crucial to understand is that as a Christian, your life will be filled with times of weakness and strength, with want and wealth, with disgrace and honor, with crosses and comforts, miseries and mercies, joys and sorrows, delight and mourning. As this cycle of separating “Chaff” from our lives reoccurs many times in our lives, and it moves us from the cross to glory. For your own health and so that you find all your satisfaction in Christ alone, God will send you times of great growth and other times of emptiness. When the harsh winds blow, know that God desires that you find your hope and comfort by His own fire. When the balmy breezes come, give Him praise and thanksgiving for the warmth He provides. Psalm 57:1 says, "Have mercy on me, O God, Have mercy on me, for in you my soul takes refuge. I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings until the disaster has passed.”   (PROPHETIC EXHORTATION AND WORDS OF KNOWLEDGE NOT INCLUDED IN WRITTEN MESSAGE CONTINUE IN THE AUDIO MESSAGE FORMAT BEGINING AT AUDIO PLAYER TIME MARKER 21:38) Duplication and sharing of this writing is welcomed

What Kṛṣṇa is saying is that if you find your sincerity and you offer it to Kṛṣṇa, and you say, "Kṛṣṇa, I'm Yours, and I will surrender to You and only depend upon You," then Kṛṣṇa is already there, as Gajendra, I mentioned, said, "He's there waiting." It's not that He becomes bored; He's always interested in us. He's always aware of us, and what He's mostly aware of, as we found out in this verse today, is our motive. That's the most secret thing within the heart. In the Bhagavad-gītā, Kṛṣṇa says, rāja-vidyā rāja-guhyaṁ—it's secret. Why is it secret? Because someone may read it and think, "I'll make a new commentarian, then I'll become Kṛṣṇa." Or, "Who is this person?" Prabhupāda mentions. Some people say, "How audacious of Him to say, 'Surrender to Me.'" And there are scholars who are expert in dissecting the verses, but they have no intention of surrendering to Kṛṣṇa. Therefore, when they write about Kṛṣṇa or they give commentary on the Bhagavad-gītā, their commentaries are meaningless, what to speak of misleading. So the relationship we have with Kṛṣṇa can be immediately realized when we find in ourselves our motive, and even if it's very difficult to bring forth, if we find even a scintilla—is that's small enough. Scintilla? I don't know if a scintilla is smaller than a molecule, but there are different types of terms. One is about a specific element or entity. Scintilla means something very tiny—if we can find that, that's what's important. So this verse is a reminder that if we all were able to find that sincerity and offer to Kṛṣṇa and come what may offer ourselves in service—tat te 'nukampāṁ su-samīkṣamāṇo, knowing that "I'm in Kṛṣṇa's hands, whatever happens because I'm a surrendered soul to Kṛṣṇa, everything that happens to me is for my purification."

Chase Worley teaches from The Sermon on the Mount as we look at Matthew 5:1-12 and talk about the Beatitudes. Chase asks the question, "Do you want to be blessed?" then offers the following observations:1. Humble yourself, so that you may be exalted.2. When you mourn, know that your Savior is near.3. Seek closeness with God.4. Show mercy, even when you judge others as underserving.5. Purify the heart. Only then can the outward appearance be truly pure.6. When chaos comes, make peace.7. In praise or persecution, pay no mind to the crowd.

This episode of Professor Kimya's class focuses on reducing Black poverty by emphasizing individual and family financial planning. The lecture advocates for realistic financial plans, legitimate financial advice from authorized planners, and consideration of a financial plan's impact on future generations. **It stresses the importance of understanding and utilizing tax-funded services instead of viewing them as government handouts. Professor Kimya encourages informed voting, contributing to Black safety nets, and building financial literacy from a young age. The class highlights the need for Black people to develop their own cultural concepts and economic power, drawing inspiration from figures like Harold Cruz. It encourages integrating different approaches to achieve collective advancement and self-reliance while responsibly utilizing available resources.Harold Crusehttps://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1hu97GJJgMWbdfZw6fb33wW57BhReENYIWilliam Julius Wilsonhttps://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Dra3RpL4laiCco5O6g90cL3Arr0NHknI Here are some of the key highlights from the video:* **Financial Planning and Advice**: * It's important to have a realistic financial plan that includes achievable goals. * Financial advice should be legitimate and from authorized sources, such as a financial planner. Be wary of scams, especially those targeting the Black community. * Consider how financial decisions impact the family, both positively and negatively, and plan ahead for emergencies. * Financial literacy and planning should be taught across generations.* **Seeking Professional Guidance**: * The video recommends seeking a financial advisor as soon as one has an income, even if it's not substantial. * A financial advisor can provide personalized advice and create a financial plan tailored to individual circumstances.* **Utilizing Available Resources**: * Take advantage of free financial planning classes and programs offered by public libraries, community colleges, and Black organizations. * **Utilize tax-funded services and resources**, remembering that these are not "government handouts" but services paid for through taxes.* **Understanding Wealth Building**: * Wealth building doesn't necessarily mean becoming a millionaire; it means saving more than you spend and building up savings and investments over time. * Be aware of cash flow planning, retirement income, Social Security benefits, disability insurance, living wills, and life insurance.* **Collective and Societal Level Strategies**: * Support Black organizations and institutions, but be aware that many receive government funding, which may influence their activities. * Be an informed voter, looking beyond popularity and jargon, and consider voting across party lines. * Contribute to Black community safety nets and preventive measures, focusing on building money, health resources, and school resources together while avoiding paranoia.* **Drawing on Black Intellectualism and History**: * The video references Harold Cruz's cooperative plan, which drew from W.E.B. Du Bois's cooperative economic plan.Interested in sponsoring the channel?

#richmondva #blackbank #maggielenawalker In 1903, Maggie Lena Walker was the first Black woman to charter an American bank and become its Bank President... An astounding accomplishment for a Black Woman in the early 1900s. The lesson highlights five key integrated Black ideas exemplified by Walker, emphasizing the importance of independent thought, collaborative leadership, and practical application of concepts for Black advancement.Professor Kimya outlined five key lessons derived from the work of Maggie Lena Walker that are still pertinent for Black people today. These are presented as interconnected "integrated black ideas".Firstly, Walker emphasized the critical need for Black people to develop their own concepts and theories and to actively implement them through strategies and actions to achieve tangible results. She serves as an example of someone who moved beyond abstract ideas to create real-world change.Secondly, Walker's work underscored the importance of collaborative leadership and the collective development of knowledge. This challenges individualistic approaches and highlights the power of working together and leveraging available resources for communal advancement.Thirdly, Walker demonstrated the significance of establishing economic development initiatives within the Black community. Her involvement in banking, newspapers, and retail showcased a strategy of connecting these sectors to foster economic empowerment.Fourthly, Walker's leadership within the Independent Order of St. Luke and her participation in secret societies illustrated the vital role of community organizations and networking in facilitating social and economic progress for Black people. These networks provided essential support and opportunities.Finally, Walker's later engagement with Disability Services emphasized the importance of addressing the diverse needs present within the Black community, ensuring that efforts for advancement are inclusive of all members.

Welcome to Day 2585 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom Day 2585 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 51:7-15 Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2585 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2585 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. In today's Wisdom Nugget, we continue exploring Psalm 51, focusing on verses 7-15. Psalm 51 is one of the most profound prayers of repentance in all of Scripture. As we discussed in our last episode, this psalm was written by King David after his sin with Bathsheba and his attempt to cover it up by orchestrating the death of her husband, Uriah. When the prophet Nathan confronted him, David responded not with excuses but with genuine sorrow and a cry for cleansing and restoration. In these next verses, we see David's deep longing for forgiveness. He not only asks for God's mercy but also pleads for renewal—a fresh start, a restored relationship with God, and a transformed heart. From an Ancient Israelite worldview, this is significant. In their culture, purity laws and ritual cleansing were essential for restoring one's standing before God and the community. However, David recognizes that external cleansing is not enough—he needs a heart that is purified and renewed by God's Spirit. Let's begin by reading Psalm 51:7-15 from the New Living Translation: Psalm 51:7-15 (NLT) 7 Purify me from my sins, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. 8 Oh, give me back my joy again; You have broken me— now let me rejoice. 9 Don't keep looking at my sins. Remove the stain of my guilt. 10 Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a loyal spirit within me. 11 Do not banish me from Your presence, and don't take Your Holy Spirit from me. 12 Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, and make me willing to obey You. 13 Then I will teach Your ways to rebels, and they will return to You. 14 Forgive me for shedding blood, O God who saves; then I will joyfully sing of Your forgiveness. 15 Unseal my lips, O Lord, that my mouth may praise You. The Plea for Cleansing (Verses 7-9) David begins with a vivid request for cleansing and renewal: “Purify me from my sins, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.” (Verse 7) In Ancient Israel, purification rituals involved hyssop, a plant used for sprinkling blood or water to symbolize cleansing (see Leviticus 14:6-7). David's request is not about physical purity but about spiritual cleansing—removing the deep stain of sin from his soul. He continues:...

Big Idea: God's kids can have confidence they are his because they have the family traits God's kids... Purify themselves in the hope of God's love (3:1-3) Do right because they know Jesus, the Righteous One (3:4-7) Cannot imitate the devil because God's DNA is in them (3:8-10)

Welcome to Day 2583 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom Day 2583 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 51:1-6 Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2583 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2583 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. In today's Wisdom Nugget, we begin our exploration of Psalm 51, focusing on verses 1-6. This psalm is one of the most well-known passages of repentance in all of Scripture. It is a psalm of David, written after his great moral failure—his sin with Bathsheba and the murder of her husband, Uriah. When the prophet Nathan confronted him, David did not make excuses or attempt to justify his actions. Instead, he responded with deep sorrow and a cry for God's mercy. From an Ancient Israelite worldview, this psalm is profound. The Israelites understood that sin required atonement. The sacrificial system provided temporary covering for sin, but David recognizes here that true cleansing must come from within—from a heart that is genuinely broken before God. Psalm 51 is a model of true repentance, teaching us that God desires honesty, humility, and a heart that longs for renewal. Let's begin by reading Psalm 51:1-6 from the New Living Translation: Psalm 51:1-6 (NLT) 1 Have mercy on me, O God, because of Your unfailing love. Because of Your great compassion, blot out the stain of my sins. 2 Wash me clean from my guilt. Purify me from my sin. 3 For I recognize my rebellion; it haunts me day and night. 4 Against You, and You alone, have I sinned; I have done what is evil in Your sight. You will be proved right in what You say, and Your judgment against me is just. 5 For I was born a sinner— yes, from the moment my mother conceived me. 6 But You desire honesty from the womb, teaching me wisdom even there. A Cry for Mercy (Verses 1-2) David begins his prayer with a desperate cry for mercy: “Have mercy on me, O God, because of Your unfailing love. Because of Your great compassion, blot out the stain of my sins.” David does not appeal to his own righteousness or try to bargain with God. Instead, he pleads for forgiveness based solely on God's character—His unfailing love and compassion. This verse is a reminder that God's mercy is not something we earn—it is something He freely gives. Verse 2 continues the plea: “Wash me clean from my guilt. Purify me from my sin.” David uses the imagery of washing and purification, which would have been deeply familiar to an Israelite. In their culture, ritual cleansing was essential before entering God's presence. However, David recognizes...

Welcome to Day 2579 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom Day 2579– Prophetic Literature - God's Call to Repentance and Restoration – Ezekiel 34_22-24 Putnam Church Message – 03/02/2025 Sermon Series: Old Testament Orientation Message 8: Prophetic Literature – God's Call to Repentance and Restoration Last week, we continued our Old Testament Orientation series and dove into  Historiography, Conquest, Kingdom, and Exile. We will also tie in how the ancient Israelites experienced and would have understood them. This week and next, we move on to the books of prophecy in a message titled Prophetic Literature – God's Call to Repentance and Restoration. Since it covers the same timeframe as the historical books, some of the information will be similar to the past two weeks, but from a prophet's perspective. Opening Prayer Heavenly Father, You have spoken through Your prophets to call Your people back to You. As we explore Your prophetic Word today, open our hearts to understand Your call to repentance, Your warnings against idolatry, and Your promises of restoration. May we not harden our hearts as Israel once did, but instead turn toward You in faithfulness. May Your Spirit guide us as we learn from the voices of Your prophets. In Jesus' name, Amen. Introduction Picture yourself living in ancient Israel during a time of great prosperity. Solomon was the King. The country was at peace, and the economy was good. The fields are full, the markets are bustling, and the temple stands tall in Jerusalem. Outwardly, everything seems well. But as you walk the streets, you see people bowing to the gods of other nations, offering incense to Baal, and engaging in corrupt business practices. You see leaders oppressing the poor, and despite the outward religious activity, you sense that something is deeply wrong. Then, a prophet appears in the city square. He lifts his voice and proclaims: Isaiah 29:13 And so the Lord says, “These people say they are mine. They honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. And their worship of me is nothing but man-made rules learned by rote. In other words, God is saying through Isaiah: You have turned to other gods, and judgment is coming! Repent and return to Yahweh before it is too late!” How would you respond? Would you listen? Would you scoff? The prophets were sent by God during Israel's most critical moments—calling the people to repentance, warning of coming judgment, and declaring a future restoration. Today, as we study prophetic literature, we must ask: Are we listening to God's call today, or are we ignoring His voice like Israel once did? The prophetic books—Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ezekiel, and the twelve minor prophets—carry a unified message: (Bulletin Insert) The Prophets Warned of the Dangers of Worshipping Other Gods Repentance Was the Only Path to Restoration Judgment Came to Purify, Not Destroy Hope Remained—The Promise of Restoration     Main Points The Prophets Warned of the Dangers of Worshipping Other...

Web Description: If God put us in this world by His will, then we accept that He has enabled us to do His will. That means whatever He makes real to us in His Word is not something only for the past or waiting for the future. His Word is something He wants us to walk in now. Therefore, we ask God's help to end our double-mindedness by making our conscious and subconscious minds a united force to manifest His Word in the present.   Show Notes: As Christians we believe that the Scriptures are the Word of God. But we need to change our conditioning that relegates everything in the Scriptures to the past or the future. The Word of God must be our present reality. It is not enough to mentally accept that Christ was resurrected in the past and by virtue of that determine we will have a resurrection in the future. Instead, we need to believe without wavering that Yeshua (Jesus) is, as He said, the resurrection and the life, and we can therefore experience the power of His resurrection and life in our own lives at this very moment.   God is speaking to us now in the present, but what hinders our effectiveness is this duplicity in our thinking that prevents us from experiencing it in the present. James wrote that a double-minded person should not expect to receive anything from God, and the reality is that we are by nature double-minded. We have a conscious mind and a subconscious mind, and those two minds are not necessarily in sync. We live crossing ourselves out more than we recognize because our conscious and subconscious minds are at odds with each other.   You can determine with your conscious mind to walk in the Word and then fail to even get started because your subconscious mind is not engaged in carrying out your conscious decision. We live mainly in our conscious mind because that is what we know how to relate to. But our subconscious mind is what makes the planning of our conscious mind active and operational in the present moment. With the Holy Spirit's help, we apply the force of our subconscious mind to take the Word that we understand with our conscious mind and make it our present and active reality.   Key Verses:   •       John 1:13. “… born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.” •       Philippians 2:13. “It is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure.” •       Luke 17:21. “The kingdom of God is in your midst [or within you].” •       Matthew 28:20. “I am with you always.” •       James 1:5–8. “That man ought not to expect that he will receive anything from the Lord, being a double-minded man.” •       James 4:8. “Purify your hearts, you double-minded.” •       Isaiah 54:17. “No weapon that is formed against you will prosper.” •       1 Peter 2:24. “By His wounds you were healed.” •       John 11:21–26. “I am the resurrection and the life.” •       Roman 13:14. “Put on the Lord Jesus Christ.”   Quotes:   •       “Our subconscious mind does not flow with our conscious mind. These two things are not necessarily in sync with each other and a lot of problems are born out of that.” •       “How do we get to oneness? We've got to get to oneness in ourselves, and it has a lot to do with the Holy Spirit. It has a lot to do with learning our subconscious mind the way we know our conscious mind.” •       “My subconscious mind has to be brought into unification with my conscious mind and vice versa in order for me to live in the present moment. And if I don't do that, then I'm constantly living in this throwback of the past or the future. And there's no power in that.”   Takeaways:   1.    When God says that you are here, not by the will of flesh nor by the will of man, but by the will of God, then you must take that in your mind and make that your present reality and reject anything that says anything different. If God's Word is true, then it is true now. 2.    It is not enough to know and teach the Word. We have to know how to manifest the Word. Not manifesting it now in our lives puts the Word into the future or keeps it in the past. 3.    Even though we love the Word and have tried to walk in the Word, we are confronted with the fact that a double-minded person receives nothing from God. It is our double-minded nature that crosses out the effectiveness of the Word. 4.    Instead of only mentally accepting the Word with our conscious mind, we need to involve the capabilities of our subconscious mind to keep the Word active and functioning in the present moment.

Kṛṣṇa says in the Bhagavad-gītā, a practical matter, that by studying this dialogue, the Bhagavad-gītā, which is the Vedic intelligence we just heard, He said that you worship Me by your intelligence. And if you read Bhagavad-gītā every day, then your intelligence can be purged of the lower modes of material nature. And obviously, by hearing Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, then you come to "tadā rajas-tamo-bhāvāḥ kāma-lobhādayaś ca ye ceta etair anāviddhaṁ sthitaṁ sattve prasīdati." (SB 1.2.19).This also indicates the diminishment of the lower modes of material nature in the mind and the intellect by hearing. So, it is an instrument. You're accompanied by that when you leave the present physical body. You have a present physical body. But it's just like if you're standing on a bridge looking at your smartphone, and you drop it off the bridge into the ravine, you know, really, you're not that upset because you backed it all up. And all you have to do is just go get new hardware. Just buy a new one, and it's already there in the cloud. So, the manas, the buddhi, and ahaṅkāra—these are the three elements of what Patañjali Muni calls the cetaḥ. We say ceto-darpana-mārjanam. It's actually three instruments in one, which is what sometimes we just say, the mind. Western science doesn't really distinguish that much between the mind and the intellect, but there is a difference. According to Sāṅkhya philosophy, each one has a different function, as described. You can read about it in the Third Canto of the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, Kapila-deva teaching Devahūti. And therefore Kṛṣṇa says, "Purify it, fortify it." He's saying it again. It's a military statement, almost: "evaṁ buddheḥ paraṁ buddhvā, saṁstabhyātmānam ātmanā, jahi śatruṁ mahā-bāho." (BG 3.43) "Stand up and fight, Arjuna!" Make your intelligence strong. Don't get faked out by all the misinformation that comes into the senses from information affected by the lower modes of nature." And you can do that by reading Bhagavad-gītā every day. https://vedabase.io/en/library/sb/1/2/19/ https://vedabase.io/en/library/bg/3/43/ ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/ https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/ https://thefourquestionsbook.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Join us live on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FanTheSpark/ Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sound-bhakti/id1132423868 For the latest videos, subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@FanTheSpark For the latest in SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/fan-the-spark ------------------------------------------------------------ #vaisesikaprabhu #vaisesikadasa #vaisesikaprabhulectures #spirituality #bhaktiyoga #krishna #spiritualpurposeoflife #krishnaspirituality #spiritualusachannel #whybhaktiisimportant #whyspiritualityisimportant #vaisesika #spiritualconnection #thepowerofspiritualstudy #selfrealization #spirituallectures #spiritualstudy #spiritualexperience #spiritualpurposeoflife #spiritualquestions #spiritualquestionsanswered #trendingspiritualtopics #fanthespark #spiritualpowerofmeditation #spiritualgrowthlessons #secretsofspirituality #spiritualteachersonyoutube #spiritualhabits #spiritualclarity #bhagavadgita #srimadbhagavatam #spiritualbeings #kttvg #keepthetranscendentalvibrationgoing #spiritualpurpose

Do you know why so many of us struggle with prayer? Because we've been told to do it but not taught how. The Bible offers a simple pattern for prayer that you can follow: Praise, Purify, and Present. Praise - Praise is thanking God for what He had already done in our lives. What blessings do you have? A good job? Healthy children? Food in the fridge? Starting prayer with praise shifts the focus from what we need to who God is. This week, before you ask for anything, thank God for past blessings. Purify - Then, we want to prepare our hearts for God. That means, asking God to reveal anything in our lives that needs to change—bad attitudes, habits, or hurts—and let God cleanse us. When you're honest with God (and yourself), it draws you closer to Him. Present - The final step is bringing a gift to God. God asks us to offer ourselves as that gift —our thoughts, words, actions, and priorities. This means dedicating every part of our lives to Him, trusting Him with our jobs, families, and dreams. We present our needs to God and trust in Him to guide us! By following this pattern of Praise, Purify, Present, we can cultivate a deeper, more meaningful connection in our spiritual lives. Prayer becomes more than a routine—it's a personal exchange with a God who provides unconditional love and guidance. Watch this message from Pastor Zachary Taylor to learn more about the pattern to take when praying. #LearnHowToPray #PrayFirst #LiquidChurch
