SP 039 Let's Keep Our Eyes on Jesus
The Selah Project
After finishing the study on getting closer to God, I would have thought that I would have felt stronger, closer ... yet seems my questions and confidence was weakened! And I am referring to the relationship of my beliefs and the day-to-day living of life. Instead, I found and find myself with questions and doubts that cause way more problems for me. Going forward with the show, my intent is to focus, share, and think about the words and deeds of Jesus. As you listen to Episode 39, keep Hebrews 12: 1-2 in mind, Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the...

SP 038 Review and Update on the 7 Day Challenge Getting to Know God Better
The Selah Project
It's been three months since I posted the final day of the 7 Day Challenge of Getting to Know God ... Better! It wasn't planned that way but I think it has turned out the best, as what I share today is a better update/review of my feedback than what would have been shared had I recorded this episode the week after Day 7. Share your thoughts or results with me!

SP 037 Day 7 of The 7 Day Challenge of Getting to Know God ... Better
The Selah Project
When I had my son Greg put the outline for this study together, he sent me what he had done in Google docs. Everything was there, except Day 7. I'm no sure why Day 7 wasn't there. Maybe it was that his outline was complete with six days. (I will have to ask him.) So as I put the challenge together, I came to this day with wondering how to conclude. My initial thought was to use Day 7 as a review of the previous 6. But God, I believe, had already written the final day as I was lead to Ephesians 1:17. Paul wrote: 17 I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ,...

036 : Day 6 of The 7 Day Challenge to Getting to Know God ... Better
The Selah Project
When we have feelings of failure, not being good enough, and disappointment, it's hard to believe we are a friend of God. But we can be who He would have us be ... He is able. On Day 6, think about Philippians 2:13 -- Philippians 2:13 -- consider these versions: 13 For it is [not your strength, but it is] God who is effectively at work in you, both to will and to work [that is, strengthening, energizing, and creating in you the longing and the ability to fulfill your purpose] for His good pleasure. (Amplified) and 13 For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what...

035 : Day 5 of The 7 Day Challenge to Getting to Know God ... Better
The Selah Project
Day 5 of The 7 Day Challenge to Getting to Know God ... Better. Becoming a friend of God! It starts with understanding He calls us his friends. Exodus 33:11 The LORD would speak to Moses face to face, as one speaks to a friend. What an incredible experience that Moses had while he lived here on earth. God would come and speak to Moses face to face, as one speaks to a friend. What was it about Moses that moved God to do this? I would suggest that it was Moses’s heart. Moses cried out to God to “teach me your ways so I may know you and continue to find favor with you." (Ex. 33:13)” And...

034 : Day 4 of The 7 Day Challenge to Getting to Know God ... Better
The Selah Project
Day 4 Think about this: Acts 13:22 22 After removing Saul, he made David their king. God testified concerning him: ‘I have found David son of Jesse, a man after my own heart; he will do everything I want him to do.' Psalm 119:34 - David wrote, Give me understanding, so that I may keep your law and obey it with all my heart. Listen to today's thoughts on the secret to not only being and becoming one after God's heart. Whenever I would think about being a man after God’s heart, my FIRST response again was failure. Knowing that this is not what God now...

033 : Day 3 of The 7 Day Challenge to Know God ... Better
The Selah Project
Day 3 -- My favorite day of the seven because what I found Paul had written to be THE reason of truth that getting to know God better is in fact our purpose! In Philippians 3:10, Paul wrote: For my determined purpose is THAT I MAY KNOW HIM [that I may progressively become more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him, perceiving and recognizing and understanding the wonders of His person more strongly and more clearly], and that I may in the same way come to know the power outflowing from His resurrection, which it exerts over believers, and that I may so share His sufferings as to be...

032 : Day 2 of the 7 Day Challenge to Know God ... Better
The Selah Project
At the end of Jesus' ministry, he asks/prays to his Father a revealing request. John 17:24 24 Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given Me, be with Me where I am, so that they may see My glory which You have given Me, for You loved me before the foundation of the world. He asked that we be with Him and see/understand and enjoy the glory about to be given him. Let us come to understand Jesus and God desire this relationship! I hope you will be encouraged as He reveals to you his wish for us. Jesus wishes that we will be with him. IN this world and the one to come :) References:...

031 7 Day Challenge Day 1: Getting to Know God ... Better
The Selah Project
A change of plans! From email to audio. It occurred to me as I was struggling to put the email program together that why not just put the 7 Day Challenge on the podcast --- especially since way more of this audience is connected here, not via email. Here is Day 1 - VIP Access thanks to Jesus Think about this: What is one area you’ve thought as a disappointment in your life? What kind of throne do you see God sitting on? Understand that it is through Jesus we have VIP access. Hallelujah. Links: Comments here: Email us at selahprojectshow AT gmail DOT com Next episode: Day 2 -- God's...

As you listen to Episode 39, keep Hebrews 12: 1-2 in mind,
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith. Because of the joy awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now he is seated in the place of honor beside God’s throne.
