Refined by Fire: Faithfulness in the Midst of Suffering is a powerful biblical message for those facing deep pain and trials. When YHWH seems silent, when comfort is gone, when suffering is real—this teaching reminds us He is near. Show Notes: From Job to Yeshua, Scripture shows us that affliction is not abandonment but refinement. In this message, you'll find clarity, comfort, and courage to endure. Learn how suffering purifies faith, strengthens character, and prepares us for eternal reward.

238: Pt. 2 The Portal of Fire-Tested Faith | Elizabeth GomesIf you've ever felt like your spiritual walk and your business strategy are living in separate zip codes, this episode is your invitation to bring them home. In Part 2 of my conversation with Elizabeth Gomes, we go deep into what it means to build a business that's not just profitable, but spiritually aligned and fire-tested.Elizabeth doesn't just talk about hearing God's voice, she lives it. And in this episode, she shares how to discern between your own thoughts, the Spirit, and divine downloads—even when they sound different than last time. If you've been second-guessing your spiritual instincts, feeling stuck in fear, or wondering whether your words carry weight in the spirit realm, this one's for you.We tackle the real stuff: burnout, boundaries, business decisions, and the sacredness of friendship with Jesus. It's raw, rich, and refreshingly practical. Whether you're a seasoned spiritual entrepreneur or just starting to tune in, this episode will help you hear more clearly, walk more boldly, and build with heaven's blueprint.HIGHLIGHTS:Entrepreneurship is a spiritual calling. Elizabeth shares how her family's journey reflects the biblical truth that we're given power to create wealth. (01:12)Your destiny scroll holds your assignment. Not everyone is called to business, but everyone is called to alignment. Knowing what's on your scroll is key to walking in purpose. (02:08)(Get Bralynn's book: Discover Your Business Destiny, with the guided activation to receive it, if you haven't yet.)Friendship with Jesus is sacred, not casual. Elizabeth unpacks the difference between friendship and irreverence, and why being a friend of Jesus includes honor and awe. (03:15)Encounters can come through unexpected pain. A hospitalization led one woman into life-changing visions with the Lion of Judah—proof that divine encounters don't always look like mountaintop moments. (06:18)Discerning voices: Jesus, Holy Spirit, Father, or self? Bralynn and Elizabeth break down how each voice feels different and how to test what you're hearing. (10:50)Spiritual boundaries protect your business decisions. Before engaging with your scroll, establish spiritual guardrails to ensure you're only hearing from the Lord. (26:08)Every word you speak shifts something in the spirit. Elizabeth explains how intentionality and sound create thresholds and change chapters in your life. (28:36)Faith is a transportation device in the spirit realm. Not just a concept—faith is a tangible force that activates spiritual realities. (30:00)The foundation of “God is good” changes everything. Without this belief, even the most gifted people can live in fear and unrest. Elizabeth shares a powerful testimony of encountering the angel of Goodness. (34:50)When in doubt, spend time with Jesus. Whether it's business, health, or emotional chaos—He's the answer. Even if all you can say is “Here am I,” He'll meet you there.

Followers of Jesus are called to embrace trials as necessary for producing a deep, abiding joy grounded in tested faith. Christ's resurrection and the sovereignty of God empower Christians to live joyfully in the midst of pain and suffering. Servanthood to God means surrendering control, trusting God's purposes, and allowing hardship to bring about spiritual growth and joy that cannot be taken away.
In this powerful message, we're challenged to examine our trust in God through the lens of financial giving. The core of this teaching revolves around the biblical story of the Israelites facing Jericho in the book of Joshua. This narrative serves as a profound metaphor for our own faith journey. Just as God led the Israelites to an seemingly impossible situation, He often calls us to steps of faith that appear daunting. The key lesson here is that God intentionally creates opportunities for us to trust Him, allowing Him to demonstrate His faithfulness. We're reminded that saying 'yes' to God, even when it doesn't make logical sense, opens the door for miraculous interventions in our lives. This message encourages us to reflect on our own 'Jericho moments' - those times when God is asking us to take a leap of faith, particularly in our giving. It challenges us to move beyond our comfort zones, trusting that God's provision is greater than our perceived limitations.

THE GOSPEL OF JOHN: THE DEITY AND TEACHING OF JESUS CHRIST“Tested Faith – Trusting God in Impossible Situations” (Part 2)John 6:5-14 NKJVChrist's Bible Fellowship - Barrigada, Guam USASpeaker: Pastor Avery FerrerasSunday, October 6, 2024
Do you feel you are being tested and find it hard to walk the razor's edge of righteousness? Welcome to the Daily Devo. I am Vince Miller. Today, we released a new episode of The Vince Miller Show, "Beliefs That Hold You Back." Check it out at the link or button below the video. This week, we are in Chapter 21 of the Daily Devo. I've titled this chapter "Man On The Run." Here is the text for today in 1 Samuel 21:1-2: Then David came to Nob, to Ahimelech the priest. And Ahimelech came to meet David, trembling, and said to him, "Why are you alone, and no one with you?" And David said to Ahimelech the priest, "The king has charged me with a matter and said to me, 'Let no one know anything of the matter about which I send you, and with which I have charged you.' I have made an appointment with the young men for such and such a place. — 1 Samuel 21:1-2 So, by nature, we should ask again, "What is with all the lying?" In the last chapter, David devises a plan to lie to Saul, and Jonathan tells the lie to test Saul. Here we have another instance. Before I answer your question, let me provide a little background for this moment. David runs to Nob (his next hideout from Saul) about two miles south of Ramah. Ramah is the home of Samuel, but Nob is the location of the Tabernacle, which was the Lord's temporary dwelling until Solomon built the Temple. Naioth, which is in Ramah, is an educational facility for training prophets and priests. Think of Naioth as a seminary where Samuel trained priests in his later years. One of the priests Samuel brought up and appointed was Ahimelech, who is just a mere 2 miles away in Nob. So David shows up in Nob, and Ahimelech is a little surprised. You will notice he is "trembling," probably because he has heard about the recent events with the mercenaries sent to kill David at Naioth, and the spirit of the Lord came upon them. True to form, Ahimelech is concerned and curious. And then David gives him an answer, which appears to be a lie. But I don't think David is lying. I think David means "The King" or "The Lord" when he uses the title "king" because he is standing before a priest who knows The King and King Saul's present issues. So, if you allow me a little latitude today (and this is pure speculation), if we insert this inference into the text, we might read the situation differently. So, let's reread David's statement, assuming he means "The King." "The king has charged me with a matter and said to me, 'Let no one know anything of the matter about which I send you, and with which I have charged you.' So, my guess, and it's only a guess, is that David is not lying. He stands alone before the priest, speaking of "The King," and I think Ahimelech is playing along. Based on the outcome of tomorrow's devotional and how Jesus refers to this instance in the New Testament, I think I am right. So, I think we encounter two men talking in code, trying to walk a careful socio-political and religious line while trying to keep themselves free from sin. But this is what it will be like for David for years. He is going to be challenged to walk on the razor's edge of so many matters, which we will see unfold in a variety of ways. This is one of many reasons why I think God chose David to be the second king of Israel. He was a man after God's heart, willing to be tested for years and walk the razor's edge between righteousness and unrighteousness every time. Are you being tested? Are you walking the razor's edge? If so, walk it carefully and cautiously because God might just be preparing you like he was preparing David. #TestedFaith, #WalkingInRighteousness, #FaithUnderFire Ask This: When have you felt like you were walking on the razor's edge in your faith, balancing between right and wrong? How did you navigate that moment? What steps can you take today to stay faithful to God when the pressure to compromise feels overwhelming? Do This: Submit to the test and let God prepare you. Pray This: Lord, when I feel tested and pressured to compromise, help me to walk faithfully in Your truth. Strengthen my heart to trust Your plan, even when the path feels difficult and unclear. Amen. Play This: Waiting.
In this powerful sermon, Pastor Donnie McClurkin dives deep into the topic of proven faith. Drawing from the Word of God, he explains how faith is not just a belief but something that must be tested through trials in order to grow. True faith is rooted in Scripture, not in personal opinions or feelings. Pastor McClurkin encourages believers to study the Bible to strengthen their faith and understand God's promises. He also discusses how faith acts as a shield, protecting us from the devil's lies, and reminds us to trust God in overcoming life's challenges. Join us as we explore the critical role of faith in the Christian walk and learn how to stand firm in God's truth.

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on 'The Daily Radio Bible' for a daily 20-minute spiritual journey. 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: In today's episode of the Daily Radio Bible, Hunter reminds us that just as the troops of Israel were ready for battle and to follow the ark of God's covenant, we too are soldiers in God's army. Sometimes, like Paul in his prison cell, we are called to stay put and endure through challenging times. It's during these times that God is doing a work in us, allowing our endurance to grow and shaping us into who He wants us to be. Hunter encourages us to embrace waiting as part of God's plan and to find joy in the opportunities for growth and transformation. He reminds us that our strength to face these challenges comes from the power of Christ within us. As we awaken to the transforming power of Christ's life in us, we can find the strength to persevere, whether it's staying put or marching forward. Let's join together in prayer, asking for God to awaken us to the life of Christ within us, and for His strength to accomplish more than we could ever imagine. Stay strong in your faith, and may you find encouragement in today's message. Blessings! 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, they 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.
