Podcasts about understanding god

Have you ever asked yourself, "Why is God taking so long?" in the middle of a trial? When the answer hasn't come. When the breakthrough feels delayed. When you know God can move… but He hasn't. In this episode, I talk about the real struggle we all face: timing. We don't usually doubt that God is able. We struggle with when. Through Psalm 139, the lives of Noah and Hannah, the ministry of Jesus, and the story of the Shunammite woman in 2 Kings 8, we see a powerful truth: Your trial has a time limit. Waiting does not mean abandonment. God is not late. He is not the problem. He is working according to a sovereign plan that is bigger than we can see. If you are in a season of waiting, this message will help you hold onto peace, keep your eyes on Jesus, and trust that God is right on time. You have not been forgotten. If this encouraged you, share it with someone who needs hope today.

Can We Derive Doctrine from Bible Stories?Apostolic Life in the 21st Century with Dr. David K. BernardNearly 60 percent of the Bible is written in narrative form. Instead of presenting theology in systematic outlines, Scripture often teaches through stories, especially in books such as Acts. But can doctrine be established from these narratives?In this episode, Dr. David K. Bernard addresses a foundational question of biblical interpretation: How do we distinguish between what is merely descriptive in Scripture and what is prescriptive for the church today?Referencing his book Understanding God's Word, Dr. Bernard challenges the common Western assumption that the propositional teaching of the Epistles carries more theological authority than the examples recorded in Acts. He explains why narrative passages are not secondary theology and why the practices of the early church matter for doctrine.With biblical clarity, Dr. Bernard explores how to properly interpret Scripture and why the example of the early church remains essential for believers today.This episode is a thoughtful and practical guide for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of hermeneutics, apostolic doctrine, and the authority of Scripture.Visit PentecostalPublishing.com to shop Dr. Bernard's full catalog of published works.

In Ephesians 5:15–20, Paul urges believers to live carefully and intentionally through three contrasts: not unwise but wise, not foolish but understanding the Lord's will, and not drunk with wine but filled with the Spirit. To “redeem the time” means to liberate our days from cultural captivity and use them for eternal purposes. Understanding God's will flows from a renewed mind marked by gratitude rather than foolishness. And being filled with the Spirit requires surrendered dependence—actively yielding ourselves to God's transforming influence so that our lives are visibly different in a world shaped by lesser influences.

"Maybe I'll just give it more time. I'm not ready. I'll see how I feel in a few months."   It sounds responsible. It sounds patient. It even sounds spiritual. But what if "wait and see" isn't neutral?   What if staying stuck is costing you more than you realize?   In today's episode, we are having an honest conversation about the real price of staying stuck after child loss. Time alone does not rebuild what grief has fractured, and today, we explore how to recognize when the Holy Spirit is telling you that you've stayed at this mountain long enough.  I'm talking about the mountain of pain that you bear every day. I want to help you move to a place where remembering with more love than pain is possible.  You'll be invited to look honestly at whether waiting is protecting your heart… or keeping you from what the Holy Spirit has for you.   In This Episode, We Discuss: The Illusion of Safety: Why we mistake "standing still" for "staying safe" and how it leads to isolation. The Four Questions of Discernment: A gentle self-check to see if waiting is shrinking your world or keeping you behind a heavy mask. Deuteronomy 1:6: Understanding God's perspective on when it is time to break camp and move forward from the mountain of pain. Fear vs. The Holy Spirit: How to distinguish between the scream of fear and the gentle whisper of God's "more" for your life. The Power of the Group: Why 14 moms have already decided to stop waiting and start walking together on March 5th. If you've been circling the same emotional ground and wondering whether anything will actually change, this conversation will help you name what's really happening — and  challenge you to consider your next brave step. Press play, and let's talk about what waiting may be costing you… and what God might be inviting you into instead.   ✨ YOUR INVITATION: THE GRIEF ROADMAP ✨   "I've stayed at this mountain long enough."   If those words are echoing in your heart today, I want you to know that you don't have to navigate the path forward alone. The Grief Roadmap isn't just a course—it is a 12-week, intimate small group mentoring experience designed specifically for the mom who is tired of just holding it together...and ready to finally untangle the hidden layers of her loss.   This is your safe space to exhale. It is a community of moms who truly get it—who understand the silence, the questions, and the weight of the "what-ifs." Together, we walk through a structured, faith-based journey to move from being paralyzed by pain to being held by hope.   What's Waiting For You Inside: 12 Weeks of Mentoring: Direct guidance from me, your Grief Mentor, as we walk this path step-by-step. A Community That Understands: Stop explaining your pain and start being understood by women who speak your language. A Proven Path: We don't just talk about grief; we process it using the tools you need to breathe again.

Jim Alter - Understanding God's Truth by West Coast Baptist College

Understanding God's Peace Colossians 3:15-17

When we're in crisis, we instinctively cry out for relationship, not religion. Jesus revolutionized prayer by teaching us to address God as Father, transforming our understanding from a distant deity to an intimate, loving parent. The phrase Our Father in heaven perfectly balances intimacy with authority - God is both perfectly loving and infinitely powerful. This isn't just personal faith but family faith, reminding us we belong to God's family and don't face life's struggles alone. Understanding God as our Father changes everything about prayer, allowing us to approach Him not as beggars or orphans, but as beloved children who are already accepted and cherished.

As we close out this series on learning how to be more like Jesus, we have to touch on the idea of His heart. How does Jesus, and by extension, our Heavenly Father, feel about us? What emotions and plans does He have for us?Despite how we often feel about ourselves, the truth is God's heart towards us is caring, gentle, tender, and fiercely loving.If you've ever struggled with self-hatred, identity, or doubts about God's continuing, lasting forgiveness, we pray this message brings you the hope and truth you need!

I. Introduction: The Message and Mission of Victory Church Overview of the Victory Church podcast: teaching and worship messages. Church mission: reaching the lost, restoring the broken, reviving believers. Central theme: the faithfulness of God — His dependability, reliability, and trustworthiness. II. Understanding God's Faithfulness Our faith rests not on our faithfulness, but on God's proven record. Encouragement to know, memorize, meditate on, and live by the Word of God. God's faithfulness remains constant despite life's ups and downs. III. Lesson from 2 Chronicles 16:7–10 — King Asa and the Prophet Hanani The prophet (“seer”) rebuked Asa for relying on human power instead of God. The “eyes of the Lord” search the earth for loyal hearts to strengthen. Asa's foolish anger at correction serves as a warning against pride and spiritual resistance. IV. The Role of Prophets, Pastors, and Counselors God speaks through His servants to bring clarity and correction. The danger of isolation: believers need pastors, accountability, and spiritual community. The “one another” principles of the New Testament — loving, praying for, and encouraging one another. V. The Importance of Church and Unity Jesus Himself regularly attended worship. Countering cultural messages that say believers don't need church or pastors. The power of unity — believers praying, worshiping, and standing together. VI. Relying on God, Not Natural Thinking Asa's mistake: trusting human wisdom instead of divine guidance. Distractions and deception are the enemy's primary tools. The Word of God renews the mind and guards against subtle lies. VII. The Power and Necessity of the Word The Word is a hammer that breaks strongholds and transforms hearts. Sermons and Scripture are tools for shaping believers — not short motivational talks. The preaching of the Word remains essential even when unpopular. VIII. Staying Teachable and Humbly Receiving Correction King Asa's downfall was pride and resistance to counsel. Believers should remain humble, lifelong learners open to godly wisdom. Experience becomes true learning only when processed through the Word and wisdom. IX. God's Faithfulness and Our Loyal Hearts God seeks loyal, not perfect, hearts. Loyalty involves repentance, humility, and trust. God desires to show Himself strong for His people just as He has in the past. X. Bearing Fruit at Every Stage of Life Believers can bear fruit even in old age. Mentorship: older generations have wisdom to pass on to younger ones. Fruitfulness includes spiritual influence and discipleship, not just activity. XI. Conclusion: A Call to Worship and Renewal God's character is unchanging—He remains faithful even when we are faithless. Invitation to pray, worship, and recommit to trusting God. Affirmation that God continues to work, bless, and restore His people through His faithfulness.

In this conversation, I'm talking to my Christian sisters in business about why God's will isn't something we "figure out" like a formula. But it's something we learn through relationship. Because if we don't know His voice, we'll either move in fear, move in striving, or we'll start calling our own thoughts "God" and then wondering why nothing has peace on it. I'm breaking down the difference between flesh and Spirit, and why discernment matters so much when you're making decisions with money, time, family, and your calling on the line. I talk about stillness, not as a cute spiritual idea, but as a real practice that re-centers you so you can actually recognize what's Him and what's pressure. I also give practical ways to test what you think you're hearing, why community matters for discernment, and why you need to be careful with the phrase "God told me" when you haven't actually submitted it to Scripture, peace, and wise counsel. The goal isn't to be dramatic or mystical. The goal is to build holy confidence rooted in truth, so you're not led by anxiety or hype, but by intimacy and obedience.

Understanding God's character prevents confusion and false worship.Do you truly understand the God you claim to know? In this episode, Rick Hughes explains why no one can approach a perfectly righteous God without receiving equal righteousness through faith alone in Jesus Christ. From Jeremiah 9:24, we learn that if we boast at all, it should be that we understand and know the Lord. Discover why knowing who God truly is — not who culture imagines Him to be — is essential for salvation, spiritual growth, and true worship.⬇Download Transcript: https://rhem.pub/1069-transcript

What does it mean to be called by God? What can we learn from Jesus' call upon his disciples?

We often think of God as an immovable, distant force. But when Enoch looked into heaven, he didn't see a stoic deity—he saw a God in tears. Why would the Creator of "worlds without number" weep for us? The answer reveals the true heart of Zion. Summary: In this deep dive into Moses 7, we witness the culmination of Enoch's ministry. We move from the "high mountain" of personal revelation to the "City of Holiness" that eventually ascended to God. Building the City of Zion: We analyze the three pillars of Zion: being of "one heart and one mind," dwelling in "righteousness," and ensuring there are "no poor among them". The Weeping God: We explore the stunning dialogue where Enoch asks God, "How is it that thou canst weep?". We learn that God's sorrow stems from the agency of His children who "hate their own blood" and refuse His love. The Perspective of Enoch: Like Enoch, we are invited to look beyond our own time. We discuss his vision of the Crucifixion, the Restoration, and the eventual return of Zion where "heaven and earth shall meet". Divine Empathy: We discuss the "Mother Eve" connection and the "Mother Earth" who groans for her children, showing that all of creation yearns for the righteousness of Zion. Call-to-Action: Zion is not just a place; it's a way of being. What is one thing you can do this week to move toward having "one heart" with those around you? Share your thoughts in the comments!

In this episode, Jodie Niznik, host of So Much More, leads you in a guided meditation to help you find renewed strength and hope using Isaiah 40:28-31. The passage was originally meant to encourage God’s people who were weary and wayward, and it also offers timeless truths and promises for us today. Here are 3 takeaways from this Meditation: Remember God's Everlasting Presence: Isaiah 40 reminds us that the Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. These timeless truths remind us of God's unceasing care and understanding, strengthening our hope in Him. Renew Your Strength: We all encounter times in our lives when we feel weary and weak. Isaiah 40 teaches us that God gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Through our hope in Him, our strength is renewed, allowing us to “soar on wings like eagles.” Rest in God's Understanding: God understands our weariness, weakness, and exhaustion even better than we do. In times of struggle, we can find solace in His knowing and loving presence, allowing His understanding to comfort and guide us. You can find Jodie at http://www.jodieniznik.com/ Instagram @jodieniznik Facebook @JodieGNiznik Download free sample chapters from my Bible studies here.

The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. 29 He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. 30 Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; 31 but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

Rev. Dale Bigham - Heart for God Revival - 1 John 3:1

Today's life changing message by Bishop Mark Brown from Arlington, TX talks to about from burned areas to the Throne of Israel.  David didn't go from anointing to the throne overnight. God led him through three strategic seasons, and each one mattered. First was Gath, the season of preservation. Gath was enemy territory, yet God used it to keep David alive. In Gath, David learned how to survive without promotion, gain wisdom in unfamiliar systems, and function without favor. Gath keeps you alive—but it cannot crown you. Then came Ziklag, the season of purification. What preserved David in Gath was burned in Ziklag. Loss, pressure, and betrayal tested his leadership. Instead of reacting, David strengthened himself in the Lord, inquired of God, pursued, and recovered all. Ziklag removes what promotion cannot tolerate. Finally came the throne, the season of appointment. David had been anointed years earlier, but now he was publicly positioned. The throne required obedience, restoration, humility, and the ability to govern people—not just survive crisis. Here's the progression: Gath to Ziklag to the throne—preservation, purification, appointment. You can't skip a season, but you're not meant to stay in all of them. Your appointment is ahead.

What if God is not distant, disappointed, or angry—but deeply loving and always near? In this powerful, Spirit-led conversation, Petia sits down with Melanie Cox to unpack the true nature of God, how to find peace in the midst of tribulation, and what it really means to live the full, abundant life Jesus promised.       In this deeply moving and Spirit-led episode of Made for Impact, Petia welcomes back beloved guest Melanie Cox for one of the most powerful conversations ever shared on the show. This episode is an invitation to re-learn the true nature of God—not as distant, punishing, or unreachable, but as a loving Father who meets us in the storm, grows us through pressure, and calls us into life to the full. Together, Petia and Melanie explore why suffering does not mean God has left you, how spiritual pressure produces purpose, and why understanding who you are in Christ changes everything. In this episode, you'll hear about: • What Jesus really meant when He said He came to give us life to the full (John 10:10) • Why tribulation is not punishment, but a refining process that produces spiritual fruit • How pressure and hardship are often signs of God's formation—not His absence • The difference between asking “Why God?” and “What are You growing in me?” • How the enemy plants doubt through questions—and how identity in Christ uproots it • Why peace is a choice, even when storms are guaranteed • Understanding God as a loving Father, especially for those with fear-based faith or father wounds • How to recognize the voice of God as your Shepherd and why intimacy matters • Biblical insight into free will, consequences, repentance, and spiritual authority • Why mothers are called to be chain breakers—and how spiritual patterns can be stopped • How returning to Scripture, worship, and daily intimacy restores clarity and peace This episode is for the woman who feels tired, discouraged, confused, or distant from God—and is ready to come home to truth, peace, identity, and the abundant life Jesus promised. Key Scriptures referenced include John 10:10, John 16:33, 1 Kings 19, Revelation 3, Psalm 139, and Hebrews 14:14. Final encouragement: If you are in a storm, God has not abandoned you. If you feel pressed, He is producing something eternal. If you feel lost, the Shepherd is calling your name. Know who you are in Christ. Know the true nature of God. And move toward the life to the full He designed for you. Connect with Melanie Cox on Instagram and find her book on Amazon. All links are available in the show notes.

Theword circumspectly is an interesting one. It comes from a word that means tolook around carefully. The idea is precision, accuracy, and thoughtful living.Paul is saying, “Pay attention to how you live. Walk carefully. Walk withpurpose.” The opposite would be walking carelessly—drifting through lifewithout direction, guidance, or forethought. The Christian life is notsomething we can leave to chance. It requires wise decisions and a sinceredesire to do the will of God. Theseverses connect closely with what Paul said just before in verse 14, where heurged believers to wake up. The picture is clear: Don't walk through lifespiritually asleep. Open your eyes. Be alert. Make the most of the day God hasgiven you. Sadly, many professing Christians drift through life like spiritualsleepwalkers. They rarely pause to consider how God might want to use them orhow their daily choices matter for eternity. Paul gives us several reasons whywe should walk carefully and wisely. First,it is a mark of wisdom. Paul says, “See then that you walk circumspectly, not asfools but as wise.” A fool simply drifts with the wind and the tide. A wiseperson charts a course, sets a direction, and steers accordingly. Just as abuilder plans before constructing a house, believers should be intentionalabout how they live their lives. We may not know what tomorrow holds, but aplanned life is far better equipped to deal with unexpected events. Walkingwisely means knowing where you're going and why. Second,life is short.Verse 16 tells us to redeem the time, or literally, buy up the opportunity. Theidea is to seize the moments God gives us while we can. Opportunities arefleeting. Once they pass, they may never return. Our English word opportunitycarries the picture of a ship catching the wind and tide to reach the harbor.Life moves quickly, and Scripture repeatedly reminds us of its brevity. Thatreality should motivate us to use our time wisely for the Lord. Third,the days are evil.When Paul wrote these words, persecution was looming on the horizon.Opportunities to serve Christ and reach the lost would not always be available.If the days were evil then, they certainly are today. Sin advances, hearts growharder, and doors can close quickly. That is why we must not waste theopportunities God places before us. At the same time, because the days are evilthere will be more confusion and chaos which will produce more brokenness inour relationships and lives. This means that even more opportunities will bearound us to share the love and truth of Jesus with! Fourth,God has given us a mind. Verse 17 says, “Therefore do not be unwise, butunderstand what the will of the Lord is.” Understanding God's will is not amystical experience that bypasses clear thinking. God expects His children touse their minds. As Romans 12 tells us, God transforms us by the renewing ofour minds. Through His Word, prayer, meditation, and worship, we learn to thinkbiblically and discern wisely. God does not merely want us to know His will—Hewants us to understand it. That involves gathering facts, weighing decisions,and praying for wisdom, as James reminds us. Finally,God has a plan for our lives. Scripture teaches that we are God'sworkmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works which He preparedbeforehand. God saves us with purpose. He reveals His plan through His Word,through the inner leading of the Holy Spirit, and through circumstances that Heorchestrates for our good. Because God has a plan, we can walk carefully andconfidently. Like a builder following a blueprint, we align our lives with whatthe Master Architect has designed. MayGod help us not to drift, but to walk wisely—redeeming the time, understandingHis will, and living each day with purpose for His glory. Godbless you, and I trust you have a wonderful, wonderful day.

What is faith—really? In this episode of The Normal Christian Life, we continue our series on the theological virtues by exploring faith: what it is, what it isn't, and why it cannot be reduced to intellectual agreement or apologetics alone. This conversation unpacks: Why biblical faith is relational and lived, not merely believed How faith engages the whole person—mind, heart, will, and action The proper role of reason in the life of faith Why dryness, doubt, and desolation do not mean faith is failing How God's hiddenness can actually deepen trust The importance of community, testimony, and perseverance Drawing from Scripture (especially Hebrews 11), the saints, and lived experience, we show that faith is not emotional hype or blind guessing—but a conviction that endures even when God feels absent. If you've ever wondered: “Why doesn't God feel close anymore?” “Is my faith weak if I don't feel anything?” “How do I keep believing through suffering or silence?” This episode offers clarity, realism, and hope. Faith is a gift—and a response—that matures through trust, surrender, and perseverance.    "Support Our Mission through Patreon patreon.com/TheNCLPodcast"   00:00 Introduction to Theological Virtues 02:17 Understanding Faith: Beyond Intellectual Assent 06:25 Personal Faith Journeys 09:48 Faith and Reason: A Harmonious Relationship 13:12 Experiencing God: Faith and Feelings 23:11 Faith in Action: Living Out Beliefs 30:07 Struggles with Faith and Desolation 31:44 Understanding God's Hiddenness 34:58 The Role of Suffering in Faith 50:35 The Importance of Community in Faith 53:24 Evangelization and Personal Testimonies 58:55 Concluding Thoughts and Prayer

This teaching delves into the profound themes of God's fatherhood, the identity of believers as children of God, and the implications of this identity on prayer and spiritual authority. It explores the parable of the Prodigal Son, illustrating the unconditional love and pursuit of God towards both the rebellious and the religious. The message emphasizes the importance of understanding our identity in Christ, the dual citizenship of believers in heaven and earth, and the authority that comes with being a son of God in prayer.

Christian parents today face an overwhelming challenge: how do you talk to your kids about sex with clarity, confidence, and a truly biblical foundation—without fear, confusion, or shame? In this episode of Michael Easley inContext, Michael sits down with Elizabeth Urbanowicz, founder of Foundation Worldview, to discuss her new book Helping Your Kids Know God's Good Design. Together, they unpack how to begin age-appropriate conversations about sexuality as early as age four, why parents should replace “the talk” with ongoing discipleship, and how to address difficult topics like pornography, masturbation, and cultural confusion around identity. If you want practical language and a biblical roadmap for guiding your kids in a hyper-sexualized world, this conversation will equip you with the tools you need.

Why does the Old Testament often feel like a disconnected moral history book?

In this episode of Wisdom's Table, I invite you to join me as I delve into a profound revelation I recently experienced during my time with the Lord. We explore the theme of expansion principles in the Bible, particularly focusing on a powerful passage from Exodus 23:29-30. I begin by sharing the context of this scripture, where God speaks to the Israelites about their journey into the Promised Land, a land filled with challenges but also abundant blessings. God reassures them that He will not drive out their enemies all at once, but rather little by little, to ensure that they are strong enough to take possession of the land without it becoming desolate or overrun by wild animals. This concept of gradual expansion resonates deeply with our modern-day struggles, as we often find ourselves fixated on immediate goals and quick results.   Links from this episode: Check out "The Expansion Mandate" book HERE Want access to ongoing expansion principles?

Ultimately, they emphasize the importance of honoring God's name in worship and daily life.

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: Welcome to Daily Radio Bible! In this episode, your host Hunter invites us into a transformative journey through the Book of Revelation, exploring chapters 10 through 14. As we reflect on these dramatic visions—angels, beasts, the mark of the beast, and the triumph of the Lamb—Hunter reminds us that understanding comes not just from reading but from truly "eating the Book," allowing the words to become part of us. Together, we're encouraged to patiently endure, maintain faith, and let God's Word guide us step by step, trusting that His vision unfolds for those who abide in Him. The episode closes with heartfelt prayers for wisdom, peace, and love, followed by a reminder that our daily practice of soul work shapes us and blesses those around us. This is more than Bible study—it's training in the way of Jesus, building strength for daily life in hope and love. So join Hunter, open your heart, and let today's scripture and prayer nourish your soul. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Eat this book, eat this scroll. It will be sweet like honey and it will be bitter in your stomach. This whole fantastical episode of visions begins with John being told to eat the book. It's only after he eats the scroll, which is both sweet and bitter, that he is given access to a behind the scenes vision—the machinations and happenings of the spiritual world. There are mysteries here that are yet unlocked. Many people spend their lifetime trying to decipher dates and times and meanings of words and particular visions and drawing one for one correlations between things that are happening right here, right now, and yet their ultimate deciphering can only happen for those who eat the book. Eating the book is a precursor to understanding God's vision. And that's true for our lives as well. It's only as we abide in him, the living Word, as we allow his written word to give us a vision for what God is saying and doing here and now, what he has for our life. The ultimate decoding can only happen for those who dwell in him, for those who taste the Word of life, to listen to him and his message and obey what he says. Then God will provide for us a step by step, unfolding on a need to know basis. Notice the angel tells him not to write down the vision he sees. He's told to keep it a secret because God reveals to us what we need to know, when we need to know it. Ours is to take the next step, to see the next vision that God has placed before us. Ours is to take and partake of him. Ours is to stand back in awe and worship Him. This story that we read about and we find ourselves in is going somewhere. It's not just an endless cycle of the same thing over and over again. No, God is culminating things. This book is showing us that. The angel says there is no more delay. Things are coming to a rapid conclusion. We can be sure that God is on the move and we are to be on the move with him, taking each step with him, each and every day. Understand that it is only as we partake of him, we eat his word, we live in communion with him, that we will begin to understand the vision that God has for your life. So eat his word, eat his flesh, partake of him, receive from him visions, direction, courage and hope. Take the next step with him, living life in him. And that's a prayer that I have for my own soul. That's the only thing I can really make sense of in these passages. And that's the prayer that I have for my family too, for my wife and my daughters and my son. And that's a prayer that 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  

In this expansive and deeply personal conversation, we sit down with Apostle Kathryn Krick to explore faith, spiritual authority, healing, and what it truly means to live a life "ever forward." Kathryn unpacks the biblical foundation of apostleship, the modern restoration of spiritual gifts, and her belief that healing, deliverance, and miracles are meant to be accessible today—not confined to Scripture. This episode examines demonic oppression versus possession, the power of words and faith in daily life, navigating wilderness seasons, and why gratitude and obedience are essential to sustained spiritual growth. Kathryn also shares her improbable journey from years of obscurity to global revival, offering a powerful reminder that progress isn't always visible—but obedience always matters.
