**Message on Hebrews 4:12** Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, Today, we turn our hearts and minds to a powerful verse found in the book of Hebrews, specifically Hebrews 4:12, which states: “For the word of God is alive and active.

Seeking the Fullness of the Spirit
A Voice in The Desert Podcast
Seeking the Fullness of the Spirit Text: Luke 24:49 Beloved in Christ, today we gather to explore a profound truth that lies at the heart of our Christian walk—the fullness of the Holy Spirit. While every believer is blessed with the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, not every believer experiences the fullness and control of the Spirit in their daily lives. Scriptures like 1 Corinthians 6:17 and Acts 9:1-6 remind us of the intimate relationship we have with the Spirit, yet we find ourselves challenged to live in that fullness.

Prayer done by the Holy Spirit
A Voice in The Desert Podcast
Listen to what Paul says about it in 1 Corinthians 14:2-4: “For one who speaks in a tongue [an unknown tongue] does not speak to men, but to God; for no one understands, but in his spirit he speaks mysteries. One who speaks in a tongue edifies himself...” So, what are we doing when we pray in this prayer language, this unknown tongue? Paul says we’re doing three things. First of all, we’re speaking direct to God, not to man; that’s a privilege in itself, to be able to speak directly to Almighty...

The Three Angels' Messages to the world.

The message of the three angels from revelation 14. A message for our times.
info_outlineWhat Is the Trinity?
Sometimes people use three different names when referring to God: God or Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. But these are more than simply different names for one person; they are, in fact, the names of three very distinct persons. But even though God the Father, God the Son (Jesus), and God the Holy Spirit have eternally existed as three distinct persons, there is only one God. This is called the doctrine of the Trinity. The idea of three persons and only one God is difficult to understand completely. Even so, it is one of the most important ideas of the Christian faith.
The Bible’s View of the Trinity
The word “trinity” is never found in the Bible, but the idea represented by the word is affirmed in many places. For instance, in Genesis 1:26 God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.” His use of “us” and “our” implies that more than one person was involved in creation. The only other beings that God could possibly be referring to are angels, but we are not made in the image of angels but “in the image of God” (Gen. 1:27), so this verse must imply that there is more than one person in God.
When Jesus was baptized, “the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming to rest on him; and … a voice from heaven said, ‘This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased’ ” (Matt. 3:16–17). At this moment, all three members of the Trinity were performing three distinct activities: God the Father was speaking, God the Son was being baptized, and God the Holy Spirit was resting on the Son.
Similarly, when Jesus sent his disciples out to do their work, he commanded them to “make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit” (Matt. 28:19). In saying this, Jesus is affirming that all three members of the Trinity are distinct in their personhood (the Father can’t be the Son, for example). Jude 20–21 also affirms the three distinct persons in the Trinity: “Pray in the Holy Spirit; keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
