Seek God for What You Need, Not for What You Want x 5
A Word of Light Ministries
In our previous episode, we discussed how God will always operate according to His will. Following God’s path may seem stressful at first, but He truly knows what’s best for us. In this episode, we discuss how whatever we ask in the name of Jesus, Jesus will grant said request. The fine print is this, Jesus’ objective was to do the will of the Father. Everything He said and did was for one purpose, to bring glory and honor to God, His Father. We often become frustrated when our requests are not granted. Rather than becoming frustrated, we should ask ourselves if our request lines up with...

In our previous episode, we discussed how being a sheep in the flock of the Lord gives us peace. In this episode, we discuss how our lives are a demonstration of the character of our Shephard. The sooner we can accept that, the more peace we’ll experience while following him. God will always operate according to His will. Following God’s path may seem stressful at first, but He truly knows what’s best for us. Pastor drives this point home by sharing a story about how a detour that him and his wife took resulted with him having to walk around with one shoe (temporarily). Postscript: We're...

Seek God For What You Need, Not For What You Want x 3
A Word of Light Ministries
In our previous episode, we discussed how Jesus was able to remain effective by submitting His will on Earth to God’s will in Heaven. Today, we continue to explore how to seek God for our needs, and not our wants. The Psalmist David explains how being a sheep in the flock of the Lord gives him peace. No matter what occurred, the Shephard always took care of him, even in the valley. Our prayers should mimic the sentiment of David. We seek God knowing that He, our Shephard, will take care of us; the same way He took care of David. Postscript: We're on an incredible journey of exchanging our...

Seek God For What You Need, Not For What You Want x 2
A Word of Light Ministries
In our previous episode, we explored how to avoid vain prayers by posturing our hearts in humility. Today, we discuss how to pray like Jesus. We discuss how Jesus intentionally submitted His will on Earth, to the will of God in Heaven. Jesus remained effective because He only concerned Himself with the needs of that day, as demonstrated in The Lord’s Prayer. If we intend on having similar results as Jesus, we too need to pray according to His will and for things relevant to the current situation. Postscript: We're on an incredible journey of exchanging our plans for God's plan and embracing...

Seek God For What You Need, Not For What You Want (Vain Repetition) x 1
A Word of Light Ministries
Vain: (1) having or showing undue or excessive pride in one's appearance or achievements: (2) marked by futility or ineffectualness: Before you pray, ensure that your heart is clothed in humility. You can’t hustle God. You can’t impress God with your vocabulary. He could not care less about your ability to string together compound-complex sentences. Even if your prayer is a verbal dissertation that would impress the greatest scholars and theologians; if the posture of your heart is vain, God will not hear you. In fact, you have received your reward. Join us as we explore what happens...

A Word of Light Ministries

Exchange Man's Plan for God's Plan: The most remarkable aspect of embracing God's plan is the undeniable truth that God is holy and completely trustworthy.

Do You Care About Your Neighbor?
A Word of Light Ministries
Our command is to love as our neighbor as ourselves. But here’s the catch, we don’t get to pick our neighbor (Luke 10:25-37). As this is our command, here are the three things we need in order to love our neighbor. Ask for a burden. Realize the urgency. Must be willing. We can never get to point of being The Good Samaritan if we don’t care about others. Join us this episode as we learn what it takes to be the neighbor that Christ commands.
