GIG264 The Bread We Know Not Of
Growing In God with Gary Hargrave
Growing In God Podcast Title: The Bread We Know Not Of Web Description: Is it really possible to run without getting tired or to walk without becoming weary? That is not our normal experience, but it is God’s. He is never weary or tired, and He promises to give us His strength if we wait on Him. Christ knew how to do this. The food that sustained Him was in His connection to the Father, and we are connected to the Father through Him. Isn’t it time for us to learn how to draw from Him? Show Notes: Isaiah 40 contains a familiar passage about waiting on the Lord. This...

Growing In God with Gary Hargrave
Growing In God Podcast Title: How Do We Appropriate? Web Description: It is easy for people to have negative emotions. We can become depressed, fearful, or anxious. And those negative emotions have negative effects on our physical bodies. As Christians why should we accept that when we can experience the joy of Christ’s salvation and the fruit of the Spirit producing life in our physical bodies?

Growing In God with Gary Hargrave

This is our strength that the Lord has sent us in this generation to proclaim deliverance for Israel and the gathering of the nations into His Kingdom.

GIG258 Pray From Fulfillment
Growing In God with Gary Hargrave
Growing In God Podcast Title: Pray From Fulfillment Web Description: If someone gives you a plate of delicious food, do you still pray, “God, give me food! Where is the food You promised me?” No, you just take it and say, “Thank you.” Yet even though God has already given us everything, we pray as if we have not received it. We need to change that way of praying. We need to shift our focus from this realm and dwell in the spirit realm where God’s Word is already fulfilled and then pray from that place. Show Notes: When you pray, are you asking as someone who...

GIG256 Understanding Revelation and Deception About Israel
Growing In God with Gary Hargrave
Growing In God Podcast Web Description: As the apostle Paul warned, we are in danger when we exchange the truth for a lie. Yet there are many in America who are doing just that. Rejecting reason and obvious facts, they actively promote lies about Israel and even call for its destruction. This is the ultimate foolishness because the forces plotting Israel’s destruction are the same forces plotting America’s destruction. It is time to wake up. Show Notes: Recent events in the United States are extremely concerning. A Jewish couple was gunned down to shouts of “free...
info_outlineWeb Description: The Scriptures warn us that just as we are unaware of a thief at night, we could be unaware of the Lord’s appearing. Perhaps the greatest problem we face is not the circumstances in the world but our own unawareness of God. It is imperative that we seek the Lord for a greater awareness and understanding of what He is saying and doing today.
Show Notes: A characteristic of the end-time is the unawareness on people. We see this in the flood of anti-Semitism that is moving through the world today and even sweeping through many churches. What enables the anti-Semitism is a tremendous unawareness of what God has spoken in the Scriptures, which is that He has never abandoned His people Israel, and He will fulfill every Word He has given them. The unawareness of what God is saying is where deceptions take root and where we miss the purposes of God in the earth.
God spoke through Isaiah, “Behold, I will do something new, now it will spring forth; will you not be aware of it?” We have to be aware of what God is going to do today and not depend on our understanding of what God did in the past. Again we read in Isaiah, “I proclaim to you new things; … before today you have not heard them.” We may be confident that we know what to do today because we have heard what God did yesterday. But what if God proclaims something we have never heard before?
God is speaking today to our generation. But will we hear Him and will we understand what He is saying? Samuel at first did not understand what God was saying to Him. He had to learn the voice of the Lord. Samuel grew and became a prophet who knew and taught what God was speaking to Israel during his time. And Christians today need to seek the Lord until we like Samuel can hear the voice of God, understand what He is saying, and be those to show this generation the new thing God is doing now.
Key Verses:
• Isaiah 43:18–21. “Behold, I will do something new; … will you not be aware of it?”
• Isaiah 42:8–10. “Now I declare new things; before they spring forth I proclaim them to you.”
• 1 Samuel 3:2–11. “Speak, LORD, for Your servant is listening.”
• Isaiah 48:3–9. “I proclaim to you new things from this time.”
• 1 Thessalonians 5:1–9. “So then let us not sleep as others do, but let us be alert and sober.”
• Luke 21:29–36. “Keep on the alert at all times.”
• 2 Peter 3:10. “The day of the Lord will come like a thief.”
• Revelation 3:3. “If you do not wake up, I will come like a thief.”
• Mark 13:31–33. “Take heed, keep on the alert.”
• Matthew 24:37–39. “They did not understand until the flood came and took them all away.”
• 1 Corinthians 2:1–16. “A natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God; … he cannot understand them.”
Quotes:
• “If we want to be fearful of something, we should be fearful of our unawareness.”
• “What Christ represented in the earth was One who knew the Father, One who heard the voice of the Father, One who saw the Father and had the exact understanding of what God was doing. So He was able to manifest it before people.”
• “Recognize that what seems to be playing itself out in great wisdom and understanding and taking over the earth is actually functioning out of an unawareness and an inability to understand what God is doing.”
• “We're not learning about the things of this world, the things outside. We're learning the things of the Spirit so that we hear the voice of the Spirit; we hear the voice of the Lord.”
Takeaways:
1. Being fearful and concerned about world events means our focus is wrong. Our focus should be on what God is doing inside of us and not on what is happening outside of us. What matters to God is that we understand the wisdom and mysteries that He is unfolding to enable us to walk through these days.
2. God is going to do something new. And the concern is that we His people could miss what He is doing because of our unawareness. Within the Church today there must come a greater awareness of what God is speaking.
3. The challenge is not to become biblical scholars but to hear the voice of the Lord. Not only do we need to hear the voice of the Lord, but we also need to understand what He is saying to us right now. We need to be His prophets through whom He can move in this age.
