Podcasts about strengthener

Life is full of choices—some small and simple, others big and life-changing. In those tough moments, making the right decision can feel overwhelming.All throughout the Bible, people came to Jesus for guidance, asking Him questions and seeking His wisdom. He was the perfect counsellor. But Jesus knew His time on earth was short, so out of His deep love for us, He made sure we wouldn't be left on our own. He asked the Father to send us another Counsellor—someone to help, comfort, and strengthen us every step of the way.John 14:16 (AMP)“And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper (Comforter, Advocate, Intercessor—Counselor, Strengthener, Standby), to be with you forever.”In this message, we'll explore what it means to have the Holy Spirit as our Helper and how we can lean on Him in every decision we make. You're not alone—God has given you the best Counsellor you could ever ask for!Listen today and be encouraged.

Hey there, hello to you today. Thanks for listening to this episode of The Burt (Not Ernie) Show.  Today's subject matter is of the utmost importance, but not necessarily something that is talked about enough within the Christian community. And that's our tendency to live like orphans even though we are now part of God's family thanks to Jesus.  God's promises devotional on Amazon Good verses to read about your true identity: Psalm 17:8 Isaiah 43:4 Psalm 147:3 Psalm 18, verses 2, 18 & 19, 28, 32, 35 & 36 Romans 12 John 8   We have so many promises from the Lord to assure and reassure us of our new identity in Christ, and yet we struggle with feeling unseen, abandoned, alone, wondering about unanswered prayers and the things in life, big and small, that wear on us and weigh us down.  How do we reconcile the way we feel with the promises God has given us?  That's the heart of this episode of the podcast.    You're listening to The Burt (Not Ernie) Show podcast, which can be found on the EDIFI app, an all Christian content podcast option - as well as anywhere else you listen to podcasts. This is episode number 204.    If I could give a definition of a believer living more like an orphan than like a child of the Most High God, I would put it like this: there is a strong and sometimes even extreme sense of aloneness and possibly abandonment that can at times define some aspects of a person's character, their attitudes, thoughts, feeling, beliefs and intentions.    This sense of aloneness and possibly feeling abandoned almost seems to operate on its own, like it has its own life force or something, working to mold the person's self-image, actions and reactions. Sometimes it may seem like the words someone speaks are misheard and interpreted very differently than what was being conveyed (which can lead to strong reactions). Decisions may be made based on feeling orphaned. This can also lead to rapid decisions and reactions, as in too quick and not thought out or prayed over. Ready, fire, aim sort of a thing.    We have a God who loves us and because of that love for us and because of our love for Jesus, we have an enemy, Satan. And I think our enemy works to get us feeling alone, abandoned, orphaned. The devil is in the details, isn't that the saying? And the devil also works in darkness and tries to push God's children into darkness as well. Operating in the darkness and pushing that orphan-like feeling on people is an attempt to manipulate people. And to keep the evil influence secret. Satan doesn't want us to know that he is harassing us; he would like us to wrongly believe that the problem lies within us. The father of lies, the devil, always lies to us because it is his native tongue (that's what Jesus said in John 8:44).    Some of the things our enemy often does is try to hide what's actually going on from the Lord's followers. He lies, he deceives, he manipulates. Now what if a person starts to counter the sense of aloneness with the truth from God's word? Does the devil ever try to push back on the truth? Yeah, he probably does.  So what are we to do? One thing I know for sure; Jesus died to give us freedom, and when we bump up against areas in our life where our freedom has been stolen or where we maybe have given our freedom away, we don't want to just give up. Pray and keep on praying, isn't that what Jesus taught His followers in Luke chapter 18? It can be so hard to keep on fighting the good fight of our faith in prayer sometimes. But I really want to encourage you to keep fighting. Keep praying. Keep your Bible open. Keep believing, even if it feels like it's hard to believe those promises. Pray and don't give up. Paul wrote about this in 1 Thessalonians - pray without ceasing. God won't lie to you, leave you or forsake you. And you are not an orphan.   When we read Galatians chapter five, we get this beautiful picture of freedom. Not just freedom like we celebrate on the Fourth of July here in America. But freedom in Christ, next level freedom, freedom that impacts our life here and now but carries over into all eternity. It's not a temporary freedom, there is no way that it can be taken from us (in spite of the fact that at times we may not feel free, our freedom in Jesus isn't something that ebbs and flows, that comes and goes - it is permanent and eternal and everlasting, while our feelings don't alway speak the truth).    From the J. B. Phillips translation, Galatians 5 verse 1 says this: Plant your feet firmly therefore within the freedom that Christ has won for us, and do not let yourselves be caught again in the shackles of slavery.   As I read that verse once more, imagine yourself being freed from literal shackles of slavery and then think about letting yourself be re-shackled and enslaved.    That is what we are told not to do. Plant your feet firmly with the freedom Christ won for you. Stay planted, rooted in Him. And don't move out of that place of being planted, don't move to a place where Satan has the chance to put those shackles back on your ankles. Keep your feet in the right place and don't let him get your feet moving off that place, the Rock which is Christ Jesus.    Freedom is what Jesus gave to you. He bought it for you. It's yours. That's an absolute iron-clad promise. Don't forget it!   If you ever feel like you're being pushed and pulled and prodded in a super stressful way, like you're just being driven and driven and driven, that could be the enemy harassing you. Why do I think that? Because that driven driven driven feeling is in direct opposition to the Galatians 5:1 freedom that Jesus secured for us. And the Lord sure isn't giving us the exact opposite of what He died to grant us. When you feel like you're being driven, pause and pray, pray that the promised freedom God clearly talks about in Galatians would be your immediate reality and that the liar the devil would be rendered ineffective in his harassment.  Satan loves to drive people. Jesus never drives people.  Satan wants everybody to live like they've been orphaned, but he doesn't want anyone to talk about it. But when we talk to the Lord about it, we bring it into the light and God's truth lands on it and that is really effective at keeping us free. Because the truth, said Jesus, will set you free. John 8:31-32.   Genesis 18:14 says this: Is anything too hard for the LORD? The Lord said these words to Abraham when Sarah laughed when He promised that she would have a son in about a year's time.  It's one thing to hear me pose the question, “Is anything too hard for God?” But it's quite another when the Lord speaks for Himself and asks, “Is anything too hard for the Lord?” in direct response to one of His dearly loved children wondering whether or not He will keep His promise.   Is God maybe asking you today, “Is anything too hard for the Lord?” How can you apply this verse to your situation? What's your answer to His question?    We have some weapons in our spiritual arsenal.  Weapons like prayer, like fasting, like choosing belief and refusing doubt, the weapon of worship, and of course the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God (Ephesians 6:17).   Luke 24:13-35 tells us that Jesus walks with us and comforts us when we are traveling on a difficult path in this life. That indicates that He never wants us to feel abandoned or orphaned on those hard roads. He wants us to know that He is walking alongside us.    In John 16:24, Jesus described the Holy Spirit as our Helper, Comforter, Advocate, Intercessor, Counselor, Strengthener and Standby (Amplified).  This verse reminds us to ask and keep on asking in order that we might receive and have our joy be complete. Pray things through to their very final end. Please don't give up on praying! Never stop praying! And keep believing every single promise God gives you in the Bible.    He loves you with great tenderness and he wants you to have a rich, full, joyous life as His child. Secure, at peace, resting in His love and care. Not a trouble free life - that's not possible in this world, and Jesus Himself said that in this world we will have trouble, but to take heart, for He has overcome the world (John 16:33).    1 Peter 1:4 says that we have been born into an inheritance that is beyond the reach of change. Orphans don't have an inheritance and they live in constant fear of change. Satan is so lying when he tells us differently than this verse promises!   And 1 Peter 2:9-10 is proof of our non-orphaned status. 9 But you are not like that, for you are a chosen people. You are royal priests,[g] a holy nation, God's very own possession. As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light. 10  “Once you had no identity as a people;     now you are God's people. Once you received no mercy;     now you have received God's mercy.”[h] We are chosen, consecrated, set apart, a special people for God's own possession, called out of darkness and into His marvelous light. Once we were not a people, but that time in our lives is over and done with.    I'm going to list off a few more verses you are welcome to read for yourself if you'd like. The truths in these verses are promises that can cement in your heart and mind how the Lord really, truly feels about you.   Psalm 17:8 Isaiah 43:4 Psalm 147:3 Psalm 18, verses 2, 18 & 19, 28, 32, 35 & 36   And the entire twelfth chapter of Romans. That's an excellent piece of the Bible to read!   Freedom comes at a cost. But Jesus paid the price in full. And he or she who has been set free by the Son is free indeed. John 8:36   My prayer for you today is that the Lord will move by the power of His Holy Spirit to fully set you free, to bless you, guide you, speak to you so loudly that you know for certain He is right here with you. Delivering you from the enemy's evil attacks, bringing total healing and freedom and restoration and redemption into your life. That's a prayer I believe He will absolutely answer. Thanks for listening to this episode, and I'll share a link to my devotional about God's promises which is available on Amazon if that's something you'd like to check out. The Power of God's Will: 40 Days of God's Promises Devotional: Burt, Jan L.: 9798573528939: Amazon.com: Books   Keep expecting God to keep all His promises. He's got those hard situations, and He's holding you safe and secure in the palm of His hands today. How could He ever forget you when He has engraved you on the palms of His hands?    Thanks for joining me for this episode of The Burt (Not Ernie) Show, getting the promises of God into the people of God, right where they belong.   I'll see ya next time. Bye bye. 

The Holy Spirit has so many roles. Comforter. Strengthener. He leads and guides us. But it's in the difficult days that so often God feels distant. Today we will talk about those times when we just don't feel His presence and we will talk about what we can do to get our eyes refocused on Him.

Audio Podcast: Activating the Holy Spirit in Your Ministry Every Christian has the Holy Spirit, but too often the Holy Spirit is dormant in their lives. This message explains the ministry of the Holy Spirit and gives the keys to unleash the power of the Holy Spirit in your life and ministry. God never called anyone to do His work without His power, and you can have the power of the Holy Spirit operating in your life! This message, which was delivered at New Life Fellowship in Tolna, North Dakota is like a fireside chat about the work of the Holy Spirit. There are many illustrations, stories, and testimonies set upon a biblical framework in a very relaxed, informal, intimate and transparent way. This message comes from many years of walking with the Holy Spirit in life and ministry. This lesson focuses on how to activate the Holy Spirit in your ministry, especially through praying on other tongues. Many people are confused about speaking in other tongues. This message defines the different biblical ways that tongues are used and emphasizes the value to praying in tongues for personal edification. I believe that this lesson will help you to gain a greater sensitivity to the Holy Spirit. There are some nuggets of truth in this lesson that will help you to cooperate with the Holy Spirit and to see a greater release of His comfort, power, and guidance in your life and ministry. This lesson is a part of our Online Believer's School of Ministry>>> Notes: ACTIVATING THE HOLY SPIRIT FOR YOUR MINISTRY But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us. (2Corinthians 4:7, NKJV). The purpose of this lesson is to impress upon the believer the need to rely on the Holy Spirit for ministry, and to teach how to activate the Holy Spirit in a greater way in your life.  This is a more advanced lesson. Recommend “BSOM105: Receiving Power to Change the World” for basic training on the power of the Holy Spirit. THE HOLY SPIRIT HELPS US IN LIFE! “And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever — (John 14:16, NKJV). Another—one of the same kind; like Jesus, He, the Holy Spirit, conveys heaven's blessings from the Father and the Son. See John 14:12-30 Seven-fold Helper… And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper (Comforter, Advocate, Intercessor — Counselor, Strengthener, Standby), to be with you forever — (John 14:16, Amp15). The Holy Spirit is absolutely essential to live the victorious Christian life. “Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. (John 15:4-5, NKJV). But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him. (1Corinthians 6:17, NKJV). The Holy Spirit helps us to live in victory so we can help others. Stengthened with might. Filled with the fulness of God. Ephesians 3:14-21, John 1:16 The also helps us to walk in love and the fruit of the spirit so we can BE a witness. Galatians 5:16-26, Acts 1:8, Rom 5:5 Therefore strengthen the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees, and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed. (Hebrews 12:12-13, NKJV). Tom's story. Don't be condemned, but use the tools. THE HOLY SPIRIT HELPS US IN MINISTRY God never intended for you to do work without His power. Mt 28:18-20, Acts 1:8, Acts 4:23-31. The purpose of the power—to reach people. Some charismatics and pentecostals are like a tea pot. They're always blowing off steam but not getting much done. We need to be a like a steam locomotive. Using the power to get moving for God. Holy Spirit is the power behind the expansion of the church in the book of Acts. (Acts 2, 3, 4, etc.

Hey there! Hello to ya today.  Here we are, for episode number 198 of the podcast, where we focus on God's promises and make the decision to simply believe that what God has said is exactly what He meant. If He promised it, He means to honor His promise. Remember, God is not a man, that He should lie, and He always finishes what He begins. Knowing those two things leaves us no choice but to either believe Him for His every promise or to live as if He were lying to us. Which will you choose today?  Psalm 91 Audio Bible Study Course You're listening to The Burt (Not Ernie) Show, part of the Spark Network, now playing in the Edifi app. And this is episode number 198.   Ya know how there are times in life, like seasons if you will, periods of time, when the same kind of thing keeps coming up, over and over again. Maybe God has been speaking to you about hope, or loving others well, or accepting His grace, and everywhere you turn, that subject is right in front of you, staring you down, you might feel like. Can't really get away from it. Boom, there it is. And wowza, there it is again. Ever experience that?    That's been the case for me recently. Over the last few months, for sure one aspect of life as a follower of Jesus has been prominent. And I didn't think it was a topic I'd cover on the podcast, at least not right now, fall of 2024. But I don't get to pick and choose when and how I obey what the Lord says. I mean, I could, and I have of course, but it's really wrong, and flat out sin. And this issue has been in the forefront of my life as of late, like I said, and the Holy Spirit led me to discuss it today.    In John 15 and 16 and 17, Jesus had so much to say to His disciples and for all who would follow Him later on, down the road, in the years and centuries to come. That includes us, of course. Jesus spoke about the importance of unity.  John 15 from the Amplified - 12 “This is My commandment, that you [c]love and unselfishly seek the best for one another, just as I have loved you. 13 No one has greater love [nor stronger commitment] than to lay down his own life for his friends. 14 You are my friends if you keep on doing what I command you. The header just before verse 12 says: Disciples' Relation to Each Other And the next section header says: Disciples' Relation to the World 18 “If the world hates you [and it does], know that it has hated Me before it hated you. 19 If you belonged to the world, the world would love [you as] its own and would treat you with affection. But you are not of the world [you no longer belong to it], but I have chosen you out of the world. And because of this the world hates you. 20 Remember [and continue to remember] that I told you, ‘A servant is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word, they will keep yours also.   Does Jesus say that the world will treat His disciples well? Uh, duh. No. He told His disciples how to treat one another, and what to expect from the world. So people in the world are not the same as our fellow disciples and will not treat us the same way.    You may be thinking, “Uh, yeah… I know that, Jan. What is your point?” Chapter 16, verse 1: “I have told you these things so that you will not stumble or be caught off guard and fall away.   So that you will not stumble or be caught off guard and fall away. It's a very real possibility that we will be caught off guard, surprised and thrown for a loop and stumble and even fall away because of it. But what is the “it” exactly? The terrible treatment of Jesus' followers by those who don't follow Him. When have you been treated really terribly for choosing the Jesus way? If it was from those who don't know Him personally and are not His disciples, were you super shocked? It may hurt and be just a terrible experience. But you aren't shocked by that nearly as much as you are when it happens within the church, by someone who claims to follow Jesus but perhaps, oh I am gonna get some hate mail for this, but Ima say it anyway…perhaps they don't actually know Him, because the fruit of their life reveals that they don't. We're called by Jesus Himself to look at the fruit of people's lives, and to know them by their fruit. That's Scripture, my friend. That's words in red. And we don't likely stumble and fall away when someone who is not walking with Jesus, would never open a Bible or go to church or sing a worship song, when that person lamblasts you for your faith in Jesus, it probably isn't going to push you to fall away. Because you know who they are, it's evident by looking at the fruit of their life. Right? But when it's within the church (and hey, please remember Jesus Himself warned us that there would be wolves who come to devour the sheep, so this should not come as a shocker, what I'm saying here today)... when it's quote one of our own, man, then it hits hard, it can cause a stumble, often we're blindsided by it, and it can lead to falling away. My friend, I am boldly telling you today that this happens all the time in the church, and people will be held accountable by God Almighty for their actions against His people, the sheep of His flock. If it has happened to you, I am so very sorry. And if it happened at the hands of those in church leadership, I am grieved for you and for their abuse and misuse of the authority that really only ought to be about leading people to Jesus, if you boil it down, but is often not used for that purpose.    Control and manipulation are basically witchcraft. I mean, think about it. If you are twisting words, manipulating people, circumstances, using guilt and shame, turning Scripture this way and that in order to control people in any facet, it really is an evil thing to do. And it's like being under a spell, and if you've experienced it, you know what I mean.  Do you think, and I am actually asking you to think about this and make up your own mind, but do you personally believe that Jesus' call to unity in His church was intended for His true disciples to be unified with those who are in the church but are not truly following Him as disciples? And at what point do you think Jesus would want His true disciples to deal with this “sticky situation”?    I know this can be a heavy topic, and it is controversial (but maybe it needs to be more normalized and less controversial to talk about the reality of, for lack of a better description, church abuse). And perhaps because there are so many people dealing with and reeling from this exact issue, I suppose this is the time and season to take a look at it through the lens of the Word of God. And as always, don't just take my word for it - but take God's Word for it, and read it for yourself. John chapters 15 and 16 are what I've been reading from, so dive in and check it out. Pray about what you read, listen for the Holy Spirit to do what He does perfectly as the Counselor that Jesus promised in John 16 verses 5-15.   Over the last several months, several people have talked with me, reached out to me, connected with me, and so on, about real problems among church leadership and what in the world to do when you come face to face with some terrible stuff, and are treated terribly, even abusively, manipulated, guilted, controlled, shamed, slandered, oh boy some of the things that have been going on are truly terrible and there is no place for this stuff in God's Kingdom, let alone among those who call themselves leaders in the Church that bears His name! It's like we've stepped into the wonky zone, and things are all sorts of off kilter.    If I were to do one of those hard hitting expose pieces from the late 1980s, I would have ample material. This isn't so much an expose as it is a CTA.  If you are being abused spiritually, can I challenge you to this CTA, this call to action? First, read the Gospels. Read what Jesus said, how He lived, what He did for people, what He didn't do, what He approved of and what He disapproved of. Read Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Do you see yourself as Jesus sees you? Are you being treated the way that He treated people when He walked the earth? Are those in authority over you in the Church living like Jesus, loving like Jesus, shepherding like Jesus? Pray on this! God wants you to see yourself the way He sees you. And He wants to be Lord in His church. The letters to the churches in Revelation tell us so very much about how seriously He takes this kind of thing.  Next, I want to boldly, strongly encourage you to do what the Bible says, and to follow where the Spirit leads. Remember what Jesus said in John 16, verses 5 through 15:  Let me read it from the NLT.  5 “But now I am going away to the one who sent me, and not one of you is asking where I am going. 6 Instead, you grieve because of what I've told you. 7 But in fact, it is best for you that I go away, because if I don't, the Advocate[a] won't come. If I do go away, then I will send him to you. 8 And when he comes, he will convict the world of its sin, and of God's righteousness, and of the coming judgment. 9 The world's sin is that it refuses to believe in me. 10 Righteousness is available because I go to the Father, and you will see me no more. 11 Judgment will come because the ruler of this world has already been judged. 12 “There is so much more I want to tell you, but you can't bear it now. 13 When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own but will tell you what he has heard. He will tell you about the future. 14 He will bring me glory by telling you whatever he receives from me. 15 All that belongs to the Father is mine; this is why I said, ‘The Spirit will tell you whatever he receives from me.' Verse 7 amplified - 7 But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the [a]Helper (Comforter, Advocate, Intercessor—Counselor, Strengthener, Standby) will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him (the Holy Spirit) to you [to be in close fellowship with you]   What is the Holy Spirit, your Comforter, Advocate, Intercessor, Counselor, Strenghtener, and your Standby saying to you? Leading you? Directing you? Counseling you? Strengthening you?   Church hurt is one thing, and it is a real thing and it is a terrible thing because it is so painful. Church abuse from leadership is another thing. Both can dwell together, for sure, but leadership abuse is the main focus of this episode. If you are dealing with this, can you look at it objectively and say yes or no to this question: is this behavior biblical or unbiblical? And are those in leadership telling me to keep enduring what is unbiblical, even though the very words of Jesus say it is wrong? Is it time to flee, like Joseph did when Potiphar's wife tried to seduce him? He just left his cloak and fled. Could it be time to flee? What is your Counselor, the Holy Spirit, who is God dwelling within you, saying to you about the leadership abuse that's going on?    And do you know that you know that you know that Jesus is absolutely never going to be spiritually abusive to you? And His true sheep, His chosen shepherds for His sheep, won't either?  John 15:1 says “[a]I am the true Vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. 2 Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away;    He takes away. Follow the fruit. Might be far more important than the call to follow the money, for the Christian community.   6 If anyone does not remain in Me, he is thrown out like a [broken off] branch, and withers and dies; and they gather such branches and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. 7 If you remain in Me and My words remain in you [that is, if we are vitally united and My message lives in your heart], ask whatever you wish and it will be done for you. 8 My Father is glorified and honored by this, when you bear much fruit, and prove yourselves to be My [true] disciples.    Those are Jesus' words.  This is an individual calling. We each have to follow Him, remain in Him, let His words remain in us, proving we are His true disciples by our fruit. I'm going to try and tread lightly as I say this next bit (and I am issuing this caveat - these words I am about to utter, they ARE NOT AT ALL related to 1919 S. Rock… ) If you need to leave a local church body because there is abuse happening, and you have looked and seen what the fruit or lack thereof is (or isn't), if the Spirit of the Living God says, “go”... then I say to you, obey the Lord. Obedience is better than sacrifice. Those who love Jesus will obey Him. And when we get the sense that the Holy Spirit is leading us out of someplace, it seems to be that He is already moving along, ready to go, ready to lead us onward. By the time we sense Him moving, He is already moving… So don't over question when He is leading. And don't let a bully pulpit or abusive leadership or manipulation or guilt and shame or twisting Scripture talk you out of following the Holy Spirit as He leads.    When He says it's time to go, then go. Because delayed obedience is disobedience, and you don't want any part of that.    Heavy topic today, and I'll just say that I've prayed for everyone who listens because it is so heavy. Lord bless you, keep seeking hard after Jesus, and next episode we'll be back to some of God's promises and how important it is to know that those promises are for you. See you next time. Oh, and please share this episode with anyone you know who might be facing this issue. It's hard, and sometimes we need a bit of encouragement, support, and understanding as we navigate it. You're not alone, but there is so much hope, freedom, joy, peace and love in the Church on the other side of spiritual abuse. Jesus sees you, He feels your pain, and He has good for you and a path out of this and into His light and His love. So please share this, because it's too important not to share.  I'll be back for episode number 199 next time. Bye bye.

It Takes Power! It takes power to follows God's ways It take power to love God's teachings It take power to thrill to God's Word It take power to think about God's Word day and night It take power to habitually meditate on God's Word It takes power to be quiet It takes power to say ‘no' to It takes power to reject the advice of evil people It take power to arise and shine It take power to stand up and shine brightly in the darkness of this world I've got good news for you- God has given unto is the promise of His Power- Holy Spirit Jesus mentioned this in John 14:16-17 when He was about to die for humanity.. He said the following to His troubled disciples. ”And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper (Comforter, Advocate, Intercessor—Counselor, Strengthener, Standby), to be with you forever— the Spirit of Truth, whom the world cannot receive [and take to its heart] because it does not see Him or know Him, but you know Him because He (the Holy Spirit) remains with you continually and will be in you.“ ‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭16‬-‭17‬ And after his death and resurrection by the power of the Holy Spirit, showing himself to his disciples and speaking to them about the kingdom of God.

You will be my witnesses—in Jerusalem, in all of Judea, in Samaria, and in every part of the world.”“ ‭‭ Vs 8 again- But the Holy Spirit will come to you. Then you will receive power.

In Him you also who have heard the Word of Truth, the glad tidings (Gospel) of your salvation, and have believed in and adhered to and relied on Him, were stamped with the seal of the long-promised Holy Spirit. However, I am telling you nothing but the truth when I say it is profitable (good, expedient, advantageous) for you that I go away. Because if I do not go away, the Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Advocate, Intercessor, Strengthener, Standby) will not come to you [into close fellowship with you]; but if I go away, I will send Him to you [to be in close fellowship with you]. Walk and live [habitually] in the [Holy] Spirit [responsive to and controlled and guided by the Spirit]; then you will certainly not gratify the cravings and desires of the flesh (of human nature without God). ...but ever be filled and stimulated with the [Holy] Spirit

Hey there and hello to ya today. So glad you are listening to the podcast and hey, I am kicking off a new series on the show called “Hot Topics”. Not exactly the kind of things we might consider hot topics, per se, but some promises we find in the Bible that seem a little bit hard to believe in our very own personal lives. But these are promises God has given us in His Word, hard to believe or not. And I am excited to dig in and stretch our faith as we choose to believe that these promises are true for God's people.  Jan's books on Amazon You're listening to The Burt (Not Ernie) Show, part of the Spark Network, now playing in the Edifi app. This is episode number 144. Connect with Jan here: Instagram @JanLBurt TikTok @JanLBurt Facebook Jan L. Burt Author & Podcaster Page Hot topics.    I have to admit, I am feeling a bit hesitant about this… I mean, it feels awfully big to address the proverbial elephant in the room, right? And in the room of Jesus followers, well, I guess it feels sort of extra big.   The first hot topic promise we will look at is the promise of power.   Now, the reason this is a hot topic is simply because so many of us do not live with much, if any, power from the Lord in our lives. If we're honest, we can admit that, right? But can we fairly lay the blame for our semi-powerless Christian lives at the Lord's feet? Or should we say, with a lot of transparency and honesty, that the devil is really good at duping us into thinking either A) we are living in the power Jesus promised us or B) we don't know what that ought to look like in our daily life, so we don't pray and ask for it or C) it never really comes to mind at all.    Let me read you a verse from the book of Acts, chapter one, verse 8. The Amplified says, “But you will receive power and ability when the Holy Spirit comes upon you; and you will be My witnesses (to tell people about Me) both in Jerusalem and in all Judea, and Samaria, and even to the ends of the earth.”   These are words in red, the very words of Jesus, spoken after His death, burial and resurrection, before He ascended to heaven. He said this, and I expect that He meant exactly what He said. He didn't misspeak.  That's just not a possibility with the Lord. So we know what Jesus said, and we know He meant it, so what comes next? For us to live in a state of belief that this is a promise for us and He will keep this promise to us, in us, through us.    Now, you do need to know Jesus as Lord and Savior for this promise to be your promise. And I think when you yield your life to Him, when you repent and receive His forgiveness and the gift of eternal life with Him, and then obey Him, you are sealed with the Holy Spirit. That's pretty Biblical. In the book of Acts, after Jesus ascended to the Father, the disciples and other believers, men and women, gathered in the upper room and when they were there, praying, and waiting for the Holy Spirit (which is what Jesus told them to do) then the Spirit came in like a rushing wind and they had flames of fire, tongues of fire on their heads, and they all received the Holy Spirit. In other places in Acts, we see the apostles praying that new believers would receive the Holy Spirit. I think you can for sure go to your pastor and have him pray for you to receive the Holy Spirit, and I don't see in my Bible how that would be wrong. It's the way the first century church did things, ya know?    Because the promise is that we will receive power and ability when the Holy Spirit comes upon us. Now you may be thinking this was only for that select group of people at that time, and I want to share a verse from John, chapter 14, verse 16. And I'll stick with the Amplified to read this for the sake of continuity. It says, and these are the very words of Jesus and in this portion of Scripture He had a lot to say, John 14, 15, 16, to His disciples but also to all who would believe on His name later on (that's you and me, right). So John 14:16 says: “And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper (Comforter, Advocate, Intercessor - Counselor, Strengthener, Standby) to be with you forever.”   It's always a good thing to prove the Bible by the Bible, if you would. When you find verses that explain other portions of the Word of God, that's proving the Bible by the Bible. And that is what John 14:16 does with Acts 1:8. Jesus has asked the Father to give you the Helper, the Holy Spirit. And I don't think you are the exception, the only child of God who gets left out. That's really not how our God works, thankfully!   This really is your promise. And we really do want to kind of maximize this one in our lives. I mean, think about who will benefit once the people of God are all living in a state of Holy Spirit power. Your family. Your local church, and the global church. Your neighbors, your coworkers, your extended family, your community, your city and state, the nation, the world. This impacts so many people. Your circumstances, well, how can they get the best of you when you are living in those circumstances filled with the power of the Holy Spirit? The same power that raised Jesus from the grave dwells in you. (That's straight from Paul's letter to the church at Ephesus, Ephesians 1:19-20). The same power that raised Jesus from the grave now dwells in you. There's a hot topic promise from the Bible, to be sure!   I mean, how do you like them apples? That's the power Jesus was talking about in Acts 1:8. Dead man raised up out of the grave power. There is no other comparable power in the world, in the universe.  It's His intention, and that should make it our expectation. I should live expecting that what the Lord has promised is going to be my reality.    Now it's a hot topic, for sure. But maybe that's mostly due to the fact that we just don't live in His power, for the most part.  Honestly, we are sort of lulled to sleep in a spiritual sense by the norms and stresses and distractions of our lives and of the times in which we live. It's almost automatic to be lulled, am I right? Don't have to work at it, just sort of drift into a lull. Keep scrolling. Keep flipping through channels. Keep working on the next project, working toward the next goal in life… all these things can lull us to sleep spiritually. And when that happens, we give little thought to the power of the Holy Spirit in us.   And that seems like a win for the enemy, that dirty dog the devil. I don't know about you, but I am so sick and tired of the devil getting W's. I would love it if he had no further marks in the Win column. When we live in the power and ability, as the Amplified says, of the Holy Spirit, all we do is win and all those tallies for the devil end up in the L column, all losses for the evil one.    For that to be true, you and I have got to get back in the game. Not bystanders, not spectators, but victors through Christ Jesus. More than conquerors in Christ. We've got big promises! Let's start living them out. You know, in the Old Testament when the Israelites finally were ready to cross the Jordan River after forty long years of wandering in the desert, those men who were assigned to carry God's Ark of the Covenant had to put their feet into the Jordan River, albeit at flood stage, so like think of a river overflowing its banks, and when they did that, out of obedience to the Lord, then the water stopped flowing and the Bible says it heaped up in a pile all the way back to a town called Adam. They had to get their feet wet, and then the promised miracle happened. Sometimes we haven't gotten our feet wet. We're angry at God for not moving us forward, for not keeping His promises, but our car is in the garage, in park, keys out of the ignition, doors locked, garage door down, and we're inside the house. Is that a driveable car? You already know this saying, “God doesn't drive parked cars.” Well, it can sure be true, can't it? You may have to get your feet wet, get back in the game, He may be calling you to step out in faith. If He is, then just obey Him. And see what He will do next.    He wants to keep every single promise, you cannot convince me otherwise. And He also is bringing us to a place of maturity, making us more like His Son, Jesus. That's sanctification. You don't want your children to be thirty-five and acting like they are two. Neither does God, our good Father. Step out in faith if that is what He is asking you to do. And know that the promise He has made here in Acts chapter one, verse eight, is going to prove true. Believe it.    Expect to have power and ability in your life. Be a witness for the Lord, be part of the reach Jesus talked about here, even to the ends of the earth. Be part of that! The power isn't about us, really. It's about honoring our God, bringing Him glory, and reaching people for Him because He loves them. John 3:16, for God so loved. So loved! You know the verse as well as I do. Let's love well and we do that when we love others, not when we love ourselves. (Can I say that again, because it kind of matters quite a lot…)   Acts 17 verse 6  in the ESV says: And when they could not find them, they dragged Jason and some of the brothers before the city authorities, shouting, “These men who have turned the world upside down have come here also..”   Okay, so obviously I shared a verse sort of like jumping in right in the middle of a movie, at a super critical and exciting part. So these believers had been making some waves (and anybody who ever makes a real difference in this world, maybe especially a good kind of difference, makes waves - that's just the reality, the wave makers are the change agents, that's just the way it is). They had made an impact, influenced some people, disrupted the status quo (the status quo has changed, son… that's my movie quote for this episode…bonus points if you know what movie that is from…) These men have turned the world upside down.   There are far worse things that could be said about us.  I'd be honored to turn my little corner of the world upside down for Jesus' name and for the Kingdom of our God.   But we cannot do that in our own might (which is basically nill). We need the power that comes from the Holy Spirit, and then we can do great exploits for our King.    This promise is for you today. And I hope that you can walk in the fullness of the power the Holy Spirit wants to pour out into your life and see people's lives changed and God glorified. My prayer for you today is that you will receive power and ability from the Spirit of the Living God who indwells you, and that you will put the key of your life into the ignition, turn it over and ask, “Where we going today, Lord? Cuz I'm all in.”   Lord bless you today, and if this episode has encouraged you, I'd love for you to share it. Connect with Jan here: Instagram @JanLBurt TikTok @JanLBurt Facebook Jan L.

Our oneness with the Lord was God's dream and it has been realized in Christ. The Holy Spirit is responsible for the oneness. Jesus said, “I and my Father are one” (John 10:30). How was Jesus one with the Father? It was through the Holy Spirit. It is the same with you today.   2 Corinthians 6:16 says, “…for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.” Now, He lives in you and walks in you. You are a God-carrying vessel.   In John 14:20, Jesus said, “…I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.” That means you are in the Father in Jesus Christ, and He is in you. That is a divine connection! Thus, your ability or sufficiency is of Him (2 Corinthians 3:5). You are connected through the Holy Spirit to the unlimited power of God with limitless possibilities and unending glory. Blessed be God!

John 14:26     But the Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, Standby), the Holy Spirit, Whom the Father will send in My name [in My place, to represent Me and act on My behalf], He will teach you all things. And He will cause you to recall (will remind you of, bring to your remembrance) everything I have told you. The ministry of the Holy Spirit will help you remember His faithfulness.  Join Us Today as Pastor Tim Hall explains how we don't need to wait for us to feel like we are blessed or anointed, but rather that we already are weather we feel it or not.

Triple Anointing – Yours! Part 4 John 16:7 7 However, I am telling you nothing but the truth when I say it is profitable (good, expedient, advantageous) for you that I go away. Because if I do not go away, the Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Advocate, Intercessor, Strengthener, Standby) will not come to you [into close fellowship with you]; but if I go away, I will send Him to you [to be in close fellowship with you]. It's to our advantage – Holy Spirit in us, ministry of Jesus 24/7. God's anointing is not a thing or a one-time event; God's anointing is a Person - His name is Jesus, the Anointed One.  Join Us Today as Pastor Tim Hall explains how we don't need to wait for us to feel like we are blessed or anointed, but rather that we already are weather we feel it or not.

Our opening text was a major revelation from God to the Prophet Isaiah. He told him about a child that would be born and listed certain names by which He would be called. The first is “Wonderful Counselor.” In the original Hebrew text, the name, “Wonderful Counsellor” means “Extraordinary Strategist,” and this immediately reveals to us the ministry of the Holy Spirit: “And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, and Standby), that He may remain with you forever” (John 14:16 AMPC). In God's prophetic plan, the child is born, grows up as a son, and dies. After His death, burial and resurrection, He comes to minister to us throughout the Church Age through the Holy Spirit, the extraordinary counselor, who is a strategic guide that helps us win in life.   At the end of the Church Age, the Lord Jesus comes to deliver Israel as the mighty God: “…the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ” (Titus 2:13). During the Armageddon, Israel is the battlefront. The Jews go through Great Tribulation, and many of them would flee from the Antichrist in terror. Jesus, however, comes out of heaven with a great army of saints and delivers Israel. He takes actions against the Antichrist and all the enemies of God. The next thing Israel experiences is the Everlasting Father. Though they've rejected Him for 2,000 years and haven't believed in Him, they suddenly realize He's the One who delivered them from the Antichrist, and they come to Him crying, “He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities…Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him” (Psalm 103:10-13). Finally, He's called the Prince of Peace. After delivering Israel and opening His arms to receive them, He establishes His Kingdom for 1,000 years. This will be 1,000 years of peace, and we'll reign with Him over the nations of the earth (Revelation 20:4-6). These days that I tell you about are not so far away. The first one, where Christ is manifested to the Church through the Holy Spirit, has been going on for nearly 2,000 years now and is coming to its climax. The Rapture isn't so far away. So, live your life in preparation for the Master's soon return. CONFESSION One generation shall praise your works to another, and they shall declare your mighty acts, O great God! You work out all your plans in conformity with the purpose of your will. How great is your wisdom! Hallelujah! FURTHER STUDY: Isaiah 9:6-7 (AMPC) 6 For to us a Child is born, to us a Son is given; and the government shall be upon His shoulder, and His name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father [of Eternity], Prince of Peace. 7 Of the increase of His government and of peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from the [latter] time forth, even forevermore. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this. Hebrews 9:28 (KJV) So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Revelation 20:4-6 (KJV) 4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. 6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years. 1-YEAR BIBLE READING PLAN Acts 14 & Nehemiah 11-13 2-YEAR BIBLE READING PLAN 2 Corinthians 10:8-18 & Isaiah 18   To give towards sponsoring free copies please kindly click the below link  https://buy.stripe.com/bIYcOj8vQepC3eM6op

Welcome to June 2022 Prayer Champions! Receiving the HOLY SPIRIT is, The Seal of approval, or our access and acceptance! – GOD gives the HOLY SPIRIT to those who believe in JESUS as a Divine presence in our lives!  This is the mark that we belong to the family of GOD. The HOLY SPIRIT baptizes us and dwells in us!  The HOLY SPIRIT leads and guides us, comforts us, advocates for us intercedes in prayer for us, and gives us power!  And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, and Standby), that He may remain with you forever—17 The Spirit of Truth, Whom the world cannot receive (welcome, take to its heart), because it does not see Him or know and recognize Him. But you know and recognize Him, for He lives with you [constantly] and will be in you. John 14:16-17, AMP

For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his (Hebrews 4:9-10).    Notice the underlined phrase above: “For he that is entered into his rest….” That rest is the rest in Christ; it's much more than the rest for the physical body. It's rest for your soul, where you don't struggle or toil for anything whatsoever. 2 Peter 1:3 says, “According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness….” Everything required for your success, prosperity, victory, health and greatness has been made available to you in Christ. So, why worry? You don't have to struggle in life anymore. Enjoy God's rest. Hallelujah! Jesus said, “Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment” (Matthew 6:25).   Paul, writing by the Spirit to the Church, in Philippians 4:6, said, “Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.” There're many who haven't realized this truth, and therefore aren't enjoying a life of absolute rest and blessings. On their job, business, projects, or even their evangelical responsibilities, they labour and toil so hard with little or no results. If that describes you, what you need is a renewal of your mind. Our struggling doesn't please God. That's why the Holy Spirit was sent to help us. In John 14:16 (AMP), Jesus said, “And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper (Comforter, Advocate, Intercessor—Counselor, Strengthener, Standby), to be with you forever.” He's here today, and now as your Helper. You're not alone. Christ is in you and with you; don't work and walk alone. Live in His rest. The Bible says we're seated together with Him in heavenly places: “And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus” (Ephesians 2:6). That isn't a position of hardship, struggle, or turmoil; it's a position of rest, dominion, power and authority. The Bible says all the works were finished before the foundation of the world (Hebrews 4:3). Now He says, “Enjoy all things.” Live in His rest, for all things are yours. Confession It's part of my heritage as the seed of Abraham to excel and make progress in life, from glory to glory, without struggling. I live perpetually in the rest of God. Now and always, I walk in His glory, manifesting His love, grace and righteousness. Hallelujah!  Further Study: Matthew 11:28-30 1 Peter 5:7     To give towards sponsoring free copies please kindly click the below link  https://buy.stripe.com/bIYcOj8vQepC3eM6op  

Until Christ comes back, we have the Holy Spirit: He is our Comforter, our Helper, our Intercessor. And He also empowers us! When I'm asking for the Holy Spirit – and I'm always asking for more of Him in my life – I say, “Jesus, You said when You went to Heaven, You would ask the Father and He would send the Holy Spirit. I'm calling upon You Jesus now, to send a double portion of the Holy Spirit on me, to change nations in Your Name! Jesus! You are so wonderful, so glorious, You are the One we worship, no one else, nothing else. Only You, Jesus!” I'm urging you to call upon Jesus to fill you with the Holy Spirit: the 'Helper (Comforter, Advocate, Intercessor—Counselor, Strengthener, Standby), the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name [in My place, to represent Me and act on My behalf].'

Observe what John the Apostle called Jesus in 1 John 2:1—our advocate with the Father. The word translated “advocate” here is “paraklētos,” the same word the Master used in His reassuring words in John 14:16: “And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever.” “Paraklētos” actually means one that is called to go alongside or go together with you, one that is called to aid; a helper. The Amplified translation gives us seven beautiful synonyms that come out of the word “paraklētos.” Comforter is one; the others are Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, and Standby. Hallelujah! Why did Jesus talk about Another Comforter to His disciples before His death, burial, and resurrection? It's because He was going away to the Father, and wouldn't be with them for much longer. For that reason, He'd pray the Father and ask Him to send them “Another” Comforter, who will abide with them forever! The word “Another” is translated from the Greek word “Allos.” Allos means another one of the same kind, quality and type. So, He's saying that this Comforter (the Holy Spirit) would be like Himself. In John 14:17-18, He continued, “Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.” Jesus, our Comforter, went to heaven, but He sent us the Holy Spirit to take His place so we'll never miss His presence. Now, instead of walking the streets with you as Jesus did with the disciples, He walks the streets in you. He's in you and with you forever. Praise God! PRAYER Dear Father, thank you for sending the Holy Spirit to live in me. I acknowledge Him as my Comforter, Counsellor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener and Standby—always with me and in me! He's my refuge and strength. I'm yielded to Him, to be led, guided, strengthened and taught the things of the Kingdom of God, in Jesus' Name. Amen. FURTHER STUDY Isaiah 9:6 (KJV) For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. John 14:18-19 (KJV) 18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. 19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. John 15:26 (AMPC) But when the Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Advocate, Intercessor, Strengthener, Standby) comes, Whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of Truth Who comes (proceeds) from the Father, He [Himself] will testify regarding Me. 1 YEAR BIBLE READING PLAN: Mark 5:1-20 & Leviticus 19-21 2 YEAR BIBLE READING PLAN: Acts 20:13-24 & Psalm 33-34   To give towards sponsoring free copies please kindly click the below link  https://buy.stripe.com/bIYcOj8vQepC3eM6op  

When you are weak, the Holy Spirit will make you strong. When you wait in the presence of God and pray, the Lord will renew your strength (Isaiah 40:31). He will give you the power to fight the enemy and triumph. The Holy Spirit is your strengthener.

John 14:25–26 (AMP) 25 I have told you these things while I am still with you. 26 But the Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, Standby), the Holy Spirit, Whom the Father will send in My name [in My place, to represent Me and act on My behalf], He will teach you all things. And He will cause you to recall (will remind you of, bring to your remembrance) everything I have told you.
