Podcasts about seeing god

A Reason For Hope with Pastor Scott Richards! Sharing the Word one question of the heart at a time. Tags: The Afterlife, Seeing God, and Adult Content

In this week's sermon we look at Matthew 5:8 and what Jesus means by having a pure heart and what it means to see God. God gives us a pure heart when we accept and follow Him, but this can wax and wane. We want to do all that we can to maintain our purity of heart and see God. We're glad that you made it to this video! We're also available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts. For more information on our worship services or church as a whole, visit fbcwest.com

The root of the global war and the end of this age is biblical. What we are seeing in the Zionist movement is that that Esau/Edom is who is currently posing/pretending to be Jacob so as to steal the “birthright” back. That's who is leading the modern Israeli nation state. They think Edom is Rome. The “birthright” is the right to bring forth the true sons of God and few if anyone presently has a sufficiently clear sense of who God is to do that very well. Seeing God for who He truly is— is as critical as it come and it doesn't appear many have that understanding. #BardsFM #Birthrights #EsauAndJacob Bards Nation Health Store: www.bardsnationhealth.com EnviroKlenz Air Purification, promo code BARDS to save 10%: www.enviroklenz.com EMPShield protect your vehicles and home.

[This episode has Hayne Griffin, Robbie Madison, Matt Oxley, Joey Svendsen]Matt Oxley, part of the Pastor With No Answers family, grew up in a charismatic, evangelical environment where faith was vibrant and experiential—complete with things like speaking in tongues and a deep belief in the supernatural. All of his years of being part of the podcast, however, Matt's beliefs had him in a place where he no longer believed in God at all.Recently, Matt has had a life-altering reengagement with faith. While his beliefs don't necessarily fit neatly into traditional Christian orthodoxy, his life and values have become strikingly aligned with the teachings and ethic of the gospel.That shift sparks a wide-ranging conversation about God, the divinity of Jesus, and the role of church and doctrine. Joey and Robbie affirm Jesus as divine in a way that makes him uniquely distinct from other religious teachers. Matt sees Jesus more as a revolutionary—someone who fully embodied the radical love and message of the gospel and died for it. End of story.  Meanwhile, Hayne pushes the conversation further, challenging Joey and Robbie to expand what they might consider “divine” wisdom or teaching beyond traditional Christian boundaries.It's a dialogue about belief, doubt, and the ways people wrestle with the figure of Jesus. What does it really mean to say Jesus is divine? Can someone live the way of Jesus without believing everything the church teaches about him? And how much agreement is actually necessary for meaningful spiritual community?Matt's Substack, "The Great Deconstruction." E-mail Joey here.

Rabbi David Aaron first encountered Kabbala at the young age of eighteen. Now, kabbalistic thought is a central influence in his life, leading him to strive to see a “ray of godliness” within every person. Rabbi David Aaron is the Co-Rosh Yeshiva of Yeshivat Orayta and the author of eight books, including Seeing God and The Secret Life of God. He is also a noted teacher and international speaker. Now, he joins us to answer eighteen questions on Jewish mysticism with Rabbi Dr. Benji Levy including how human beings are facets of the divine, that Judaism is meant to make life easy, and how men and women are equal but not the same. Here are our questions: What is Jewish mysticism?How were you introduced to Jewish mysticism?In an ideal world, would all Jews be mystics?What do you think of when you think of God?What is the purpose of the Jewish people?How does prayer work?What is the goal of Torah study?Does Jewish mysticism view men and women the same?Should Judaism be hard or easy?Why did God create the world? Can humans do something that is against God's will?What do you think of when you think about Moshiach?Is the State of Israel part of the final redemption?What is the greatest challenge facing the world today?How has modernity changed Jewish mysticism?What differentiates Jewish mysticism from the mysticism of other religions? Does one need to be religious to study Jewish mysticism?Can mysticism be dangerous?How has Jewish mysticism affected your relationships with yourself and with others?What is a Jewish teaching that you always take with you?

First Community Church, 03.01.26 Dr. Rev. Glen Miles- Sermon, The Shape of Love- Seeing God Clearly at the Cross Part 2- 'The Shape of Love is Jesus' by First Community Church

How do we recognize God's hand at work when life feels like it's shaking? Returning from a mission trip to Africa, Pastor Lee uses the story of the 10 plagues in Exodus to show how God makes His power unmistakable, even to those who don't follow Him. Just as the magicians in Egypt had to admit they were seeing "the finger of God," we can learn to see His fingerprints in our own difficult seasons, from health miracles to the survival of the church. This message is a powerful call to be still, be humble, and "lean in" to the unique mandate God has for your life.What is one "fingerprint" of God you can see in your past when you look back? Let us know!Follow this podcast for more messages on how to stand firm when everything around you is shaking.

Jesus made it clear, without a pure heart one will not see God.  Brian Higbee talks about what it means to see God and the misconceptions about a pure heart.  

Paul Williams - We often hear that 'a civilisation is measured by how it treats its weakest members'. It's a value our culture proudly affirms and we see it being embraced by major corporations in the City—but where did it really come from, do we consistently live it out, and are we blind to our failures?

Our God is awesome and worthy of worship.

What is one thing that you can do today to start your impact on God's Kingdom?In this episode, Jeff and Todd discuss: Surrendering your life to Jesus.Seizing the opportunities God provides.Trusting in God, not the resources of the world.Seeing God's picture as greater than what we can dream.Taking the chance to just start.  Key Takeaways: Don't be afraid to live your faith out loud. You never know who is watching and who is being impacted.God is enough. You don't have to know every verse of scripture or have all the answers. He is enough.Don't get so stuck in your own ideas that you stop listening to God's voice.God will expand our footprint as we scatter seeds and trust in Him during times of transition.  "I think we overthink transitions sometimes as if God doesn't know what's coming. And in my case, He not only knew, but He confirmed it in a way that brought a lot of peace." —  Todd Stewart Episode References: Hope Legacy Collective: https://hopelegacycollective.org/C12: https://www.joinc12.com/ About Todd Stewart: Todd Stewart is first and foremost a follower of Christ, one who seeks to live out kingdom principles and pursue kingdom growth on a daily basis.Beginning as a forklift operator and later becoming CEO of Gulf Winds, he charted an unusual course for the company: faith first, and profit followed. Todd graduated from Stephen F. Austin State University with a bachelor's degree in marketing in 1996 before joining his father in the bold logistics venture of Gulf Winds. His wife, Nikki, has adventured side by side with him through his rise to CEO; the raising of their two beautiful children, Lexi and Lane; and his travels across the globe, sharing the gospel of Christ with family, friends, and colleagues-and with those hungry to hear.Through the years, Todd has been honored by C12 with the Hero Award and by International Cooperating Ministries with the Rock Award. Todd personally lived the Gulf Winds story as a son, an employee, the CEO, and finally through the sale of the business. As he dared to run the family company with the mission of impacting eternity and a determination to put God first in it all, he saw firsthand the incredible things God would do with a business devoted to Him. Connect with Todd Stewart:Website: https://toddstewart.com/Book: Delivering Hope: Leading a Business That Builds the Kingdom of GodLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/todd-stewart-0168a54/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/toddstewart819/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61583392180447  Connect with Jeff Thomas: Website: https://www.arkosglobal.com/Podcast: https://www.generousbusinessowner.com/Book: https://www.arkosglobal.com/trading-upEmail: jeff.thomas@arkosglobal.comTwitter: https://twitter.com/ArkosGlobalAdvFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/arkosglobal/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/arkosglobaladvisorsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/arkosglobaladvisors/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLUYpPwkHH7JrP6PrbHeBxw

On today's pages, Menachot 35 and 36, we encounter a startling image: God showing Moses the knot of the tefillin. Rabbi David Bashevkin joins us to explore this anthropomorphic mystery, explaining that while we can never see God's face—the future unfolding—we can always see God's back by looking retrospectively at our lives and history. The knot at the back of the head symbolizes how we remain tethered to the Divine even when the path ahead is unclear. What does it mean to be wrapped in a divine embrace through history? Listen and find out.

Cam discusses building and scaling businesses — including his pest control company Green Mango — and the emotional and financial challenges he faced along the way, including six years without income and navigating investor setbacks.The conversation explores the importance of belief systems, mentorship, resilience through hardship, and faith-driven decision-making. Cam emphasizes that success comes from consistent effort, surrounding yourself with the right people, and learning through experience rather than traditional education alone.The episode also dives into personal fulfillment beyond financial success.

The episode concludes with Cam's core philosophy: success comes from being intentional, disciplined, and consistent.Key Themes & TakeawaysEntrepreneurship & Business LessonsSuccess comes from modeling successful people and executing consistently.Perseverance is often more important than talent.Hard seasons (like six years without income) often precede breakthroughs.Investor setbacks can force clarity, better stewardship, and stronger leadership.Mentorship accelerates growth by helping avoid unnecessary mistakes.Mindset & Personal GrowthBelief expands when you see ordinary people achieve extraordinary results.Obstacles should be viewed as detours rather than roadblocks.Intentional routines and “sacred rhythms” create sustainable success.Money solves problems but doesn't provide fulfillment.Faith & ValuesFaith and tithing play a major role in Cam's decision-making and peace.Seeing God as a “business partner” reframes giving and trust.Spiritual discipline provides clarity during high-stress periods.Relationships & FamilyA supportive spouse is foundational to long-term success.Small daily acts strengthen marriage more than grand gestures.Commitment and reliability build lifelong trust.Legacy & LeadershipLeadership means holding people to high standards while helping them succeed.True legacy comes from integrity and keeping your word.Balanced success across life categories creates sustainable happiness.CONNECT WITH CAM BAWDENhttps://www.instagram.com/cbawden/ https://www.youtube.com/@ThePremiumMindset https://www.tiktok.com/@cameron.bawden LISTEN/WATCH/SUBSCRIBE TO THE “YOUR LIFE LEGACY PODCAST”*Apple Music - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-life-legacy-podcast/id1740167449 *Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/2Cd8XFP59Ar864GcaoEDxW *YouTube Podcasts - https://www.youtube.com/@thelifelegacypodcast  *Amazon Music Podcasts - https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/b1949e1f-a973-47da-b1e0-538945afa748/the-life-legacy-podcast *iHeartRadio Podcasts - https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-the-life-legacy-podcast-165910407 CONNECT WITH “THE LIFE LEGACY PODCAST”*LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jaxon-cummings-%F0%9F%92%AD%F0%9F%8E%A5-24b40a149/ *Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/lifelegacypodcast/ *TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@lifelegacypodcast *YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@thelifelegacypodcast *Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61558217934317 *Threads - https://www.threads.net/@lifelegacypodcast *X - https://twitter.com/lifelegacypod *Website -  https://your-life-legacy.com/ 

What legacy are you leaving for your children? In this episode, Jeff and Blake discuss: Seeing God in our fathers.Words from our father and from our Father.Healing through service to others.Stages of writing a Legacy Letter.  Key Takeaways: God is good on your best days and on your hardest days.Parental approval can be either an accelerant or a headwind to success, depending on where your parents fall on the spectrum.Assume how you love your children and how they are receiving that love are not always on the same page.

Verse by verse study through the book of Acts Chapter Seven and Verse Fifty Five

Marriage is arguably the most sanctifying relationship on the planet. Just consider the following questions:Why is it that we tend to think our spouse is out to get us? Why do we assume the worst about him / her? What causes us to get so defensive? Why do we get so offensive in our reactions? Are the offenses we carry worth it? Dr. Emerson Eggerichs, best-selling author of Love and Respect, joins us to talk about the lightbulb moments he discovered in 20 years of helping men and women stop living in their crazy cycle. What is the crazy cycle? Consider this: “Without love she reacts without respect. Without respect he reacts without love.” But what's more, Dr. Eggerichs discovered that “without love, defensively she reacts offensively without respect. And without respect, defensively he reacts offensively without love.” In this episode, Dr. Eggerichs shares the way out of the cycle through principles like “80/20” and “Seeing God over your spouse's shoulder.” With many incredible convicting and encouraging insights, this is an episode we hope brings your marriage closer together. Time Stamps:0:00 Dr. Emerson Eggerichs joins the show2:31 Where Love and Respect and the crazy cycle began8:21 How to interpret the crazy cycle in your relationship19:40 The ah-ha moment of 80/20 and the lens from which we view our spouse27:08 Looking at God over the spouse of your shoulder29:32 Your marriage within the Kingdom of God34:45 Victimhood, offense, and finding freedom in Christ44:44 Being offended by God and the power of a forgiving spirit48:55 The 2 degree shift that can change your marriage52:45 How to get your husband to pray with you Show Notes:Get Light Bulb Moments in Marriage by Emerson Eggerichshttps://amzn.to/4t9WAfP Get Love and Respect by Emerson Eggerichshttps://amzn.to/4kiuAmg Interested in our 8-week Love Your Marriage Cohort?

Seeing God's grace so I talk to Him with a thankful heart

In Part 2, we continue the conversation about mental health, suffering, and enduring when hope feels dim, but shift our focus to the nature of God and His relationship with us as our Heavenly Father.Using the parable of the prodigal son, we explore why God doesn't always intervene immediately, why He allows us to struggle, and how His love is constant even when life feels unbearably heavy.We talk about parenting, agency, and how suffering—while painful—is often the place where compassion, humility, and Christlike attributes are formed. We also discuss grief, suicidal ideation, anxiety, and the importance of honest conversations around mental health.This episode is about meaning in the silence, trusting God's heart when His plan doesn't match ours, and believing that suffering is not wasted.Podcast Instagram: @enduretotheendpodZunex Pest Control: @zunexpestco00:00 – Introduction to Part 200:30 – Why this conversation continues01:10 – Mental health and meaning in suffering02:20 – Scripture: The prodigal son03:15 – Seeing God differently as a parent04:20 – Why rescuing isn't always loving06:00 – God's respect for agency07:30 – Sitting with pain and learning from it09:30 – Life as a painting we can't yet see10:40 – Endurance, discomfort, and growth13:30 – Mental health, depression, and anxiety15:10 – Suicidal ideation and honesty17:00 – Knowing who you are and whose you are18:40 – Suffering as a path to compassion20:50 – Becoming more gentle through hardship22:05 – Purpose in suffering24:30 – Becoming more Christlike25:35 – Final encouragement and closing thoughts

Dealing with Depression: Finding Hope and Victory in the God of All Comfort    Depression is a profound heaviness of soul that the Scriptures describe with raw honesty. The Bible does not employ our modern clinical term, but it portrays the experience vividly: the spirit overwhelmed, the heart cast down, the bones troubled, the soul in despair, even the wish that life would end. Yet the same Word that records this darkness repeatedly declares that God draws near to the brokenhearted, that He is the lifter of the head, that His comfort abounds in affliction, and that joy comes in the morning. Throughout Scripture we see God's choicest servants pass through seasons of deep discouragement. Their stories are recorded not to magnify their weakness but to display God's faithfulness in the lowest places. By examining these lives, and by listening carefully to the voice of God in His Word, we discover divine principles for enduring and overcoming depression from a thoroughly biblical standpoint. I. Elijah: Despair After Victory The prophet Elijah stands as one of the clearest examples. In 1 Kings 18 he experienced one of the greatest public triumphs in redemptive history—fire falling from heaven on Mount Carmel, the prophets of Baal defeated, the people confessing that the Lord is God, and rain ending a three-and-a-half-year drought. Yet in chapter 19, a single threat from Jezebel sends him fleeing in fear and exhaustion. Hear the Word of the Lord in 1 Kings 19:3-4 (KJV): “And when he saw that, he arose, and went for his life, and came to Beersheba, which belongeth to Judah, and left his servant there. But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree: and he requested for himself that he might die; and said, It is enough; now, O LORD, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers.” Elijah, the man who had just called down fire, now prays for death. He feels his labor has been in vain, that he is no better than his fathers, that everything is “enough.” This is the language of depression: exhaustion, hopelessness, isolation, and suicidal ideation. But observe God's tender response. Verses 5-8: “And as he lay and slept under a juniper tree, behold, then an angel touched him, and said unto him, Arise and eat. And he looked, and, behold, there was a cake baken on the coals, and a cruse of water at his head. And he did eat and drink, and laid him down again. And the angel of the LORD came again the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise and eat; because the journey is too great for thee. And he arose, and did eat and drink, and went in the strength of that meat forty days and forty nights unto Horeb the mount of God.” God does not begin with rebuke. He begins with physical care—sleep, food, water—twice. The angel acknowledges the reality of Elijah's limitation: “the journey is too great for thee.” God remembers that we are dust (Psalm 103:14). When Elijah reaches Horeb, he repeats his complaint in verses 9-10: “And he came thither unto a cave, and lodged there; and, behold, the word of the LORD came to him, and he said unto him, What doest thou here, Elijah? And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.” Depression distorts perspective. Elijah believes he is utterly alone. God gently corrects him in verse 18: “Yet I have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him.” Then God gives Elijah new work and a successor. God meets Elijah in his depression with physical provision, truthful perspective, renewed purpose, and the quiet whisper of His presence (verses 11-13). II. Job: Prolonged Suffering and Overwhelming Grief Few stories portray sustained depression more graphically than Job's. A righteous man suddenly stripped of wealth, children, and health, Job sits in ashes, scraping his sores, wishing he had never been born. Job 3:1-3, 11-13, 20-26 (KJV): “After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day. And Job spake, and said, Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said, There is a man child conceived… Why died I not from the womb? why did I not give up the ghost when I came out of the belly? Why did the knees prevent me? or why the breasts that I should suck? For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have slept: then had I been at rest… Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, and life unto the bitter in soul; Which long for death, but it cometh not; and dig for it more than for hid treasures; Which rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find the grave? Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in? For my sighing cometh before I eat, and my roarings are poured out like the waters. For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me. I am not at ease, neither am I quiet, neither have I rest; but trouble cometh.” Job's anguish is physical, emotional, and spiritual. He cannot eat without sighing; anxiety and dread consume him. His friends' misguided counsel only deepens the wound. Yet through forty-two chapters God allows Job to pour out every complaint. God does not silence him. Finally, in chapters 38–41, the Lord speaks—not with easy answers, but with a revelation of His sovereign wisdom and power. Job's response in 42:5-6: “I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee. Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.” Seeing God afresh brings repentance, humility, and eventual restoration. Job's depression lifts not when circumstances immediately improve, but when he encounters the majesty and goodness of God in a deeper way. III. David: The Psalms of the Cast-Down Soul No biblical figure gives us more transparent language for depression than David. The Psalms are filled with his cries from the depths. Psalm 42:1-11 (KJV): “As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God. My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God? My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God? When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me: for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday. Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance. O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites, from the hill Mizar. Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me. Yet the LORD will command his lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life. I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? As with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me; while they say daily unto me, Where is thy God? Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.” Notice David's pattern: honest lament (“my tears have been my meat,” “all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me”), self-exhortation (“Why art thou cast down, O my soul? … hope thou in God”), remembrance of God's past faithfulness, and confident expectation of future praise. Psalm 43 continues the same theme, ending with the identical refrain. Psalm 77 shows Asaph following the same path—remembering God's mighty deeds until hope revives. Psalm 88 is perhaps the darkest psalm, ending without explicit resolution on earth, yet still addressed to “LORD God of my salvation.” Even unresolved sorrow is brought to God. IV. Jeremiah: The Weeping Prophet Jeremiah's ministry spanned decades of rejection and judgment upon Judah. He is called “the weeping prophet” for good reason. Lamentations 3:1-20 (selected verses, KJV): “I am the man that hath seen affliction by the rod of his wrath. He hath led me, and brought me into darkness, but not into light… He hath hedged me about, that I cannot get out: he hath made my chain heavy. Also when I cry and shout, he shutteth out my prayer… He hath filled me with bitterness, he hath made me drunken with wormwood… And thou hast removed my soul far off from peace: I forgat prosperity. And I said, My strength and my hope is perished from the LORD: Remembering mine affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall. My soul hath them still in remembrance, and is humbled in me.” Jeremiah feels God has become his enemy, that prayer is blocked, that hope has perished. Yet in the very center of Lamentations comes one of the most hope-filled passages in Scripture, verses 21-26: “This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope. It is of the LORD's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him. The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.” Jeremiah preaches to himself the truth of God's character. Remembering God's steadfast love and faithfulness becomes the turning point. V. Other Examples: Moses, Hannah, Jonah, Paul Moses, burdened with leading a complaining people, cries in Numbers 11:11-15 (KJV): “And Moses said unto the LORD, Wherefore hast thou afflicted thy servant? and wherefore have I not found favour in thy sight, that thou layest the burden of all this people upon me? … I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy for me. And if thou deal thus with me, kill me, I pray thee, out of hand, if I have found favour in thy sight; and let me not see my wretchedness.” God responds by sharing the burden with seventy elders and providing meat—practical help and companionship. Hannah, barren and provoked, is “in bitterness of soul” (1 Samuel 1:10). She pours out her soul before the Lord, and though her circumstances do not change immediately, “her countenance was no more sad” (1:18) after entrusting her grief to God. Jonah, angry at God's mercy to Nineveh, prays in Jonah 4:3 (KJV): “Therefore now, O LORD, take, I beseech thee, my life from me; for it is better for me to die than to live.” God patiently teaches him through a plant, a worm, and a wind. Even the apostle Paul knew despair. In 2 Corinthians 1:8-10 (KJV): “For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life: But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead: Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us.” Paul's despair drove him deeper into dependence upon the God who raises the dead. VI. The Lord Jesus: Sorrow Without Sin Our Savior Himself entered into sorrow. In Gethsemane, Matthew 26:38 (KJV): “Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.” He sweat as it were great drops of blood (Luke 22:44). Yet He submitted: “not my will, but thine, be done.” Hebrews 5:7 speaks of His “strong crying and tears.” Christ identifies with our weakness and intercedes for us as One touched with the feeling of our infirmities (Hebrews 4:15). VII. God's Promises of Comfort and Deliverance The Scriptures abound with assurances: Psalm 34:17-19 (KJV): “The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles. The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.” Isaiah 41:10 (KJV): “Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 (KJV): “Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.” Psalm 30:5 (KJV): “For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.” VIII. How Believers Today Can Deal with Depression and Gain Victory from a Biblical Standpoint The examples and promises above yield clear, scriptural pathways for fighting depression today: Bring every feeling honestly before God. The Psalms model unfiltered lament. Do not hide your despair; pour it out. God invites it and can handle it. Preach truth to yourself. Like David and Jeremiah, recall God's character, past faithfulness, and unchanging promises. Speak Scripture aloud when feelings contradict truth. Care for the body God gave you. Elijah's story reminds us that exhaustion, hunger, and isolation exacerbate depression. Sleep, nourishment, exercise, and medical care when needed are acts of stewardship, not lack of faith. Seek godly community. Elijah felt alone, but was not. Isolation feeds depression; fellowship counters it. Confess faults, bear burdens, receive prayer (James 5:16; Galatians 6:2). Fix your eyes on Christ. He endured the cross for the joy set before Him (Hebrews 12:2). Our light affliction works an eternal weight of glory (2 Corinthians 4:17-18). The gospel assures us that nothing can separate us from God's love (Romans 8:38-39). Wait upon the Lord with hope. Seasons of darkness do not last forever. “They that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint” (Isaiah 40:31). Victory is not always immediate deliverance from the feeling of depression, but it is certain triumph through union with Christ. Even if the night lingers, the Morning Star has risen in our hearts (2 Peter 1:19). One day He will wipe away every tear (Revelation 21:4). Until then, we walk by faith, anchored in the God who has never forsaken His own. The same God who sustained Elijah under the juniper tree, lifted Job from the ash heap, turned David's mourning into dancing, and carried Jeremiah through the furnace is your God. He is faithful. Hope in Him, and you shall yet praise Him, who is the health of your countenance and your God.

What happens when divorce shakes your faith?In this episode, we sit down with Hannah Ayers, who went through a divorce while pregnant, deeply confused, angry at God, and still showing up every morning as a Christian radio host, smiling on air while her heart was breaking behind the scenes.If you've ever felt like you had to hold it together for everyone else while falling apart inside… this conversation is for you.We talk honestly about grief, divorce, faith, anger, shame, and healing—and what it actually looks like to walk with God when you don't feel very “Christian” at all. Hannah shares how God met her in practical, undeniable ways, how community and honesty changed everything, and why real healing only happens when we stop trying to avoid pain and finally face it.This episode isn't just about divorce.It's about loss, disappointment, unanswered prayers, and the moments when you wonder if God is really still good.If you're hurting, isolated, or tired of pretending—you'll find hope here. Not hype. Not platitudes. Real hope.

Ray grew up believing in God, but without guidance, affirmation, or direction. From childhood trauma and addiction to selling drugs and chasing success, he tried to fill a void nothing could satisfy. At rock bottom, a desperate cry to God changed everything. This is a raw testimony of brokenness, surrender, and radical transformation through Jesus.Support our channel & Become a Partner ⇨  https://www.missiondelafe.org/   Listen on Podcast Spotify Podcast ⇨ https://spoti.fi/3RBKdq3Apple Podcast ⇨ https://apple.co/3evzCuuConnect with ushttps://www.facebook.com/delafetestimonieshttps://www.instagram.com/delafetestimonies/Connect with RayInstagram @GratefulApparel: https://www.instagram.com/gratefulapparel/@GiveMeTen: https://www.instagram.com/givemeten/TikTok:TikTok.com/@GratefulApparelTiktok.com/@GiveMeTenCowww.GRATEFULAPPAREL.comwww.GiveMeTen.clubCredits:Testimony by Raymond "Grateful Ray" RiveraDirected by Darvin RamirezInterviewed by Jenifer LopezEdited By Joshua GayleAudio Mixed by Paul Nicholas Testimony Recorded in Orlando, FloridaDelafé Testimonies is a global evangelistic project with the mission of creating the world's largest archive of Jesus testimonies until His return.

Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! In today's episode, Hunter guides us through the 363rd day of our journey through the Scriptures, focusing on Revelation chapters 5 through 9. Together, we witness the dramatic scene of the Lamb—Jesus—opening the sealed scroll, a powerful symbol of hope, justice, and redemption in the midst of a broken world. Hunter reflects on the meaning and significance of these passages, reminding us that, even in times of confusion and despair, God's love and victory can transform our weeping into worship. The episode also includes heartfelt prayers for peace, understanding, and unity, as well as an encouraging reminder that each listener is beloved by God. Whether you're new to the Daily Radio Bible or have been with us all year, you'll find hope, comfort, and inspiration in today's time together in the Word and in prayer. TODAY'S DEVOTION: If this scroll isn't opened, then how are we going to make sense of this story? The story of human history demands that this scroll be opened. The story of life demands that justice and righteousness prevail. Some sense must be drawn from all the senseless evil in this world. John falls into despair at ref​lecting on the possibility that there will be no judgment, no true reconciling of all things—a restoration when God is all and in all. He wonders whether perhaps it's all meaningless. He wonders whether there will be a response from God in the end. John cries out at the thought. He cries out for someone to make sense of the wreckage. And in this final moment, when it appears that all is lost, an elder insists that John stop weeping. He insists that there is One who is worthy and able. It is the One sitting on the throne. He can open the scroll because he has stepped into the darkness, the despair, the loss, into death and into the grave. He is the Lamb of God who has taken away the sin of the world. He has offered himself on the cross, and in that offering, he defeats death by death in order that he might rescue those who are captive to sin, death, and the grave. He's come to rescue the lost—Adam and all of us—and draw us into his saving life. In his body, he accomplished this victory. You might be like John today, weeping because you think there's no way to make sense of what's happened in your life. The elder, John, and I all want to remind you—look to the Lamb. He's worthy. Look at him. See what he has done. He has won a victory for you, for us, for the world that will transform our weeping into absolute worship and adoration. Let's ask the Spirit to help us see the Lamb who opens the scroll. That's a prayer that I have for my own soul. That's a prayer that I have for my family, for my wife and my daughters and my son. And that's a prayer I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL
