Waiting for God to act?Romance - when will I finally find the “One” - ?Provision - in financial struggles or with career opportunitiesDeliverance - from addiction you've tried to kickHealing - in a relational conflict Vindication - you were falsely accused or misunderstoodWisdom - esp for new believers who just want to know Bible moreAnxiety - when will you take this away?We've all been there. Today as we open the Bible we're going to get a few practical, actionable tips to answer the question: What's the best way to wait on God?

But stay here in the city until the Holy Spirit comes and fills you with power from heaven.”They had great expectation, but little understandingThis is where we are when we wait on GodWhat do you do in this case?

165 – Have you ever noticed all the ways Jesus loved his disciples?If you were going to tell someone you loved them, what would you say? How would you say it? There are so many possibilities. Just saying the words, “I love you,” doesn't always convey love does it? It's about the tone of voice, the circumstances, your facial expressions and body language, the sincerity in your heart. A lot more than just words goes into letting someone know you love them.And if you were going to show someone you loved them, what would you do? To them? For them? With them? Again, there are lots of ways to show someone you love them, sometimes without even saying a word. Actions often express much more love than words ever could.A listener recently requested I explore in a podcast episode, all the ways Jesus expressed love to his disciples. Well there's no way to talk about them all in one short episode, but this week I take an overview of many of the ways Jesus loved his disciples. And the implication is that he loves us in the very same way.Here are the ways Jesus loved his disciples mentioned in this episode:Jesus loved them first and foremost by being true to himself and his purposeHe loved them by choosing them to follow himHe taught them publicly and privatelyHe appointed them to preach and teach and empowered them to do soHe taught them not just with his words but with his exampleHe was patient with themHe answered the questionsHe rebuked themHe prepared them for when he would no longer be with themHe sent the Holy Spirit to guide them once he was goneHe trusted them to do what God called them to doWhen you look at every single word and action through the lens of how much Jesus loved his disciples, his love is so much more obvious. And remember, the love in Jesus's heart for his disciples includes you and me as well.Here's how Jesus summed up this love: "As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love." John 15:9 NIVJesus loves us the way the Father loves him. Are you willing to open your heart to and accept that kind of love?To see all the Bible quotes in this week's episode: thebiblepseakstoyou.com/165Support the show_________________________James Early, the Jesus Mindset Coach, is a Bible teacher, speaker, and podcaster.

My conscience and the Holy Spirit confirm it.Paul is speaking to an audience of Jews that are all about the lawsIt seems like Paul is speaking to a group of people who are choosing what truth to believePretty much like the times we are living in – Where truth was suppressed and made to sound like something that it's not.

The one that had saved his life and corrected the course of his lifeChrist was the best thing that happened to PaulHe would give it all up to have someone get a glimpse of what it is to be fully devoted to the LordPaul is speaking from the Heart of ChristGalatians 2:20 Nkjv- I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.Paul feels what God feels, His Joy, His hurt – Break my heart for what breaks YoursPrayer night- Eva spoke of God being a lover of our soulPraying not because we have to but praying because we need to commune with GodSpending time with Him – That which cost you nothing (We don't give God our leftovers)Psalms 23:1-3 The Lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need. He lets me rest in green meadows; he leads me beside peaceful streams. He renews my strength. He guides me along right paths, bringing honor to his name.We only think of what we get, but where is the Lord's heart here?Paul is willing to do whatever it takes to bring this point homeJust like us preachers, we go to a great length to bring you an understanding of God's Word so you can fall in love with Him He understands the length at which God had to go to rescue the Jews peopleThey are Gods adopted Children by God himself – Us as well*He made a covenant with themHe gave them His Law...
Dear God I'm Grateful For My Husband.“As the Scriptures say, “A man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one.” This is a great mystery, but it is an illustration of the way Christ and the church are one.” - Ephesians 5:31 NLT.It's amazing how God places people in our lives who impact our lives for the better. For me, this person is my husband, Durand and I am so blessed to be one with him.

My experiences with communion:Foot washing at seminary; people who got saved while taking communion, those who have been healed, those who take it daily, those who take it weekly, all revel actions of God in the process of communion: conviction of sin, worship, thanksgiving, understanding of truth, and many other events. It has been a rich and varied experience throughout my life with both deep and worshipful insights.Look at the text: why two cups? Same cup twice? Are they 4 cups for a ritual that Jesus performed? I also heard of a special spot reserved for the Messiah? Did Jesus take that cup? Ask him when we get to Heaven. But there is meaning in Luke's presentation: See this as an act of a servant, who is serving his closest friends, and drawing them into his greatest confidence and trust. In this act he is preparing them for not just the days ahead but also for their eternal future and gave the historical event of the Exodus new meaning. Review the meal sequenceHe states he will sufferHe ate a meal with them He takes a cup and tell them to share it among themselvesHe breaks bread and gives it to themHe takes the cup and inaugurates the new covenantHe reveals the betrayal.Meaning to each event, but the focus is on the covenant in his blood, once and for all.Paul's admonition to do this oftenThe churches early practice was that it was a regular event and one of the pillars of the churchAdmonition was to not abuse the meal, but to consider others as more important than yourself. We serve each other in the meal. Welcome to our meal where we will break bread together!

Fear – Abram lies about his wifeGenesis 12:11 -17 11 And it came to pass, when he was close to entering Egypt, that he said to Sarai his wife, “Indeed I know that you are a woman of beautiful countenance. 12 Therefore it will happen, when the Egyptians see you, that they will say, ‘This is his wife'; and they will kill me, but they will let you live. 13 Please say you are my sister, that it may be well with me for your sake, and that [a]I may live because of you.” So it was, when Abram came into Egypt, that the Egyptians saw the woman, that she was very beautiful. 15 The princes of Pharaoh also saw her and commended her to Pharaoh. And the woman was taken to Pharaoh's house. 16 He treated Abram well for her sake. He had sheep, oxen, male donkeys, male and female servants, female donkeys, and camels. But the Lord plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram's wife. Fear pushes us to do thing that are not honorable.
