POPULARITY
It is easy to forget what is most important. Truly, everything in our Christian life flows from our relationship with God. We don't want to take for granted the gift of having a personal relationship with God. Knowing God and praying is a two-way street, and there is no substitute for time alone with God. The closeness of drawing near to God is the source for everything good in life.

God will judge unrighteousness in due time. At present, we are walking with him in faith and trusting him to accomplish all things for his glory and grace.
A new MP3 sermon from Grace Baptist Church of Waterford is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: Trust the Lord, He Promised to Come for You Subtitle: Mark: Devotionals Speaker: Tim Davis Broadcaster: Grace Baptist Church of Waterford Event: Devotional Date: 6/16/2025 Bible: Mark 13:24-27 Length: 24 min.
There is a creative power in your words. Our words partner with God's Word or the enemy's chatter. Our words not only impact our own lives but also the lives of our family and friends around us. We must learn the authority our words carry so God can use them to change people's lives for the better.
"Trust the Lord!" - Proverbs 3:5-6, James 1:5Ron Bower, Senior PastorOriginal Date: June 1, 2025
Don't get into fear when you hear the word predestination in the Bible. Everything God has planned for our lives is good, but we do reap what we sow. There is good news: God has not "sovereignly" willed bad or evil for our lives. He is always working to bring good, but our own choices dictate whether we partner with God's plan for our lives.
At the end of the day, we trust in the Lord our strength.
What falls under God's sovereignty? And what falls under man's free will? This is a question worth answering. There is so much confusion in the body of Christ around this subject, but the Word clearly has the answer.
Wisdom shows us the snare of fearing people and the safety of trusting the Lord. Fearing people is one of our great struggles in life and it causes many problems. The solution to the fear of people is not found in ourselves, but in turning ourselves over to the Lord and to his care. By trusting in the Lord, the fear of man loses its grip on our hearts and becomes less directive of our steps. Today, may we grow in faith and become less fearful of others. Grace Community Church exists to build spiritually healthy people for ministry in the world. One of the ways that we pursue this mission is by gathering each Sunday for corporate worship, prayer, and biblical teaching. The corporate nature of this gathering is both edifying to the believer and a witness of God's grace to the world. Sermon speaker is Scott Patty unless otherwise noted.
Many churches only teach about salvation and going to heaven, but that leaves us ill-prepared for the battle we face here on earth. God is training us in the same way parents train their children to prepare them for life. If we listen, we will realize God is preparing us for what we will face next. He is giving us the power to overcome the battles against the enemy. God is preparing us to overcome in the end days.
The biggest step in walking out of manipulation is recognizing when we do it. And the best way to not be manipulated is to recognize when we are being manipulated. Both come from places we don't see God as our source, and places we do not fully have our identity worked out. Manipulation never happens when there a trust in God.
Everyone has been through the pain of being used and manipulated. The places we manipulate are the places we don't see God as our source, places where fear and unbelief are still being allowed to operate. We must not be the ones operating in manipulation, nor can we allow others to manipulate us.

In this episode of Spirit Connection, we have a special excerpt from a recent Monthly Mentoring Session. Doug shares what the Lord is showing him this month. Psalm 33 is rich with promises and plans of the Lord. Doug describes the specific ways the Lord is moving in this season. The post Trust the Lord's Plans Are Being Released [Episode 387] first appeared on Doug Addison.
We are all in a spiritual battle. But it is vital to remember God has set you up to win every single battle. But we must receive and operate in God's resurrection power and walk constantly in God's spiritual armor. In our own strength, we cannot defeat the enemy's principalities and powers. It is when we learn to stop walking in our own strength and start walking in the strength of God's might and His armor that we will have victory.
Reverend Chris Harper - Scripture: Isaiah 19-20
We know we should trust the Lord but how do we actually do that? How do we trust him in pain and uncertainty? Every business owner needs to cultivate this skill.
Pastor John Bingham - A Psalm to Encourage - Psalm 37:1-8
We all need an understanding of the Old Testament, it is the foundation for the New Covenant we have with God. The Old Testament can seem overwhelmingly, complicated, and hard to grasp but truly there is an order to how the different books have been laid out. This teaching will give you a general overview to understand the Old Testament.

The scary thing about deception is when you are deceived, you don't know you are deceived. If we want to know the truth badly enough, God will pull you out of the lies step by step. Deception says, "I'm right!" With no heart to hear or learn anything. Deception is the blind spot, but truth is the spot remover. We all need truth from God's Word and truth spoken by close friends who can see our blind spots.

Joy is the Lord's strength for these chaotic times. Do you see Joy as an emotion? As long as you see Joy as an emotion you will continue to let it slip through your fingertips. Joy is not an emotion; it is a character trait of God. Learn how to stay in the joy God has given you.
What is the antidote for a busy heart? How do we quiet ourselves? In this sermon from Psalm 131, Dr. Greg Gifford helps us see where we may have too high a view of ourselves, thinking only we can accomplish a particular task, and taking on things that are not meant for us to do. Like the psalmist, may we quiet and calm our souls, look to the Lord, and put our hope in him. From our Sunday service at Grace Bible Church of Bend.

There are many different ways to hear God's voice. God does speak audibly at times but there are other ways that are usually more common. Sometimes, we can be so stuck on hearing God's voice audibly that we are missing how He is speaking to us. Don't put God in a box. He has many ways He wants to speak to us.
Have you trained yourself to know what is coming from the voice of God and the enemy? We must learn to adjust our hearing from listening in natural to listening in the Spirit. There are some secrets to learning to focus and position ourselves correctly while we are learning to discern God's voice.
Please listen to this teaching as many times as it takes to start truly overcoming the enemy and getting his schemes underneath your feet. The Authority of the Believer - Peggy Joyce Ruth talks about how it is vital that Believers learn to walk in their God given authority. God put mankind in authority over the earth, but we handed it over to Satan in the garden. Now, through what Jesus did on the cross, we have been given authority over satan, sin, sickness, self, and situations.
Prayer should be fun. It should not be ritualistic. Prayer is a conversation with our heavenly Father, who loves us. Just like we enjoy having long talks with our friends or earthly parents, we can have an even greater enjoyment in our relationship with God.
Jesus is different than every other religion. Every other religion's principles could exist without their founders, but Christianity could not exist without Jesus. Christianity is not simply a doctrine; it is a person. It is more than rules; it is a marriage with Jesus that changes us from the inside out.
Our fight is not won by fighting in our own flesh and blood strength but by fighting the enemy in God's strength. But even though we are fighting in God's strength, it is still OUR struggle; it is OUR warfare, and we must learn how to overcome in God's strength. We must learn how to fight and overcome the enemy. If we don't know, we are fighting with principalities and powers we are already losing. Until the power of Satan is broken, there are different strongholds over individuals, homes, churches, communities, regions, and nations. According to 2 Corinthians 10:5, it is OUR job to pull down strongholds that exalt themselves above the knowledge of God.
Self-pity is a magnet that draws bad things to you. It keeps you immobile, always looking inward and rarely toward God. When God didn't approve of Cain's offering, he got into self-pity instead of asking God where he was wrong. He continued down the road of self-pity and then self-destruction.
When we let offense set in our heart, it can become deadly. How you handle opportunities to be offended will determine whether you grow or not spiritually. Offense can trip us up, cause us to stumble, and ultimately entices us into sin. Offense is something we need to want to get rid of completely. Ask the Lord if there is any area you have been offended, and then repent to the Lord until you feel that area is cleared up.
For this next installment of our From Now On series, Pastor Jerome encourages us to think of and resist what is calling us away from the things God calls us to do.
Do you really believe that God is for you? What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things? -Romans 8:31-32. God is not a man that He should lie. His Words are true, but we have a choice to either take God's Words to heart or the enemy's.
This is message 8 in the Isaiah series. Isaiah 7:1-16 The young King Ahaz of Judah faced a time of fear an uncertainty, yet God, in His mercy, sent the prophet to guide him. Through the prophecy of Immanuel, "God with Us," God assured Ahaz of His presence and power, calling him to trust in His promises instead of relying on human alliances. Though Ahaz failed to believe, the prophecy ultimately pointed to the virgin birth of Jesus Christ, the ultimate fulfillment of God's promise to dwell with His people.

It is so very important for us to know the character of God. Do you know how your heavenly Father acts? Do you know God's character well enough to know when someone says something wrong about Him? When we blame or get disappointed with God for things that are coming from the enemy, we open a door that is very hard to close. But thankfully, now we are under a better covenant where we can see the true character of God and shut the doors open to the enemy.

No matter the attack, don't stop on what God has assigned you to build. God will do the heavy lifting if we submit to Him and His plan. But it is important to remember that even God's plans come under attack from the enemy. There are attitudes(the enemy) and actions(from people) that will come against us when we begin God's work. We must stay on the wall and keep building!
Gift-giving has been a Christmas tradition since the wise men brought gifts to Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. Every gift and everything we find in the Word has a physical and a spiritual application.
We are being programmed consciously and unconsciously by culture and media to believe we are victims. The enemy will to classify you as a victim. It is so very dangerous. It is part of the enemy's plan to destroy us but God never created victims He created overcomers.
God wants to speak to us. He is working to develop a deep knowing in us, but when we look at and take in the wrong things, we miss His voice. There is no limit to what God would show us, but we limit ourselves by how much we receive from Him. We are the deciding vote on whether we take in God's light or the darkness.
