Didn't think I had anything to share - Episode 337
Speak Life Church
I thought I didn't have anything to share with you this week but I do. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tested beyond your strength, but with the testing he will also provide the way out so that you may be able to endure it. 1 Corinthians 10:13 God is faithful. Prayer for you. Love you, Rev. Kenn Blanchard

Put a little spring in your step
Speak Life Church
Spring revival Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. This means that our knowledge of men can no longer be based on their outward lives (indeed, even though we knew Christ as a man we do not know him like that any longer). For if a man is in Christ he becomes a new person altogether—the past is finished and gone, everything has become fresh and new. All this is God’s doing, for he has reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ; and he has made us agents of the reconciliation. God was in...

He Sees You. (ep. 333)
Speak Life Church
El Roi. God sees what you have overcome and dealing with still. He loves you. Psalm 56:8, “You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in your bottle. You have recorded each one in your book.” (NLT) Proverbs 15:3, “The LORD is watching everywhere, keeping his eye on both the evil and the good.” (NLT) After Lot had gone, the Lord said to Abram, “Look as far as you can see in every direction—north and south, east and west.15 I am giving all this land, as far as you can see, to you and your descendants as a permanent possession.16...

Thou Shalt Not Kill?

God says, “You shall not kill,” but He kills. Does He contradict Himself? No.

Don't Cuss (episode 331)
Speak Life Church
Exodus 20:7 speaks about cursing God. (Don't do it) But what about our language to everyone else? 7 Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. We honor God’s name (v. 7). The command to not take God’s name in vain is more than simply a prohibition of cursing Him. Profanity not only reflects a heart darkened with hate, but it shows an utter disrespect for a holy God. The commandment also means that we are not to take God’s name and talk in a way that dishonors us as His reps....

Put Jehovah First
Speak Life Church
Exodus 20: 3-6 3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. 5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; 6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. Watch out there now. Love you,...

There is no normal life, it’s just life.
Speak Life Church
“There's no normal life Wyatt, It's just life. Get on with it.” ― Val Kilmer as "Doc" Holliday To give them hope, dig them out of a funk or to help them heal from some shame or regret they may be experiencing. You cannot ever judge someones journey and experiences against another's for no two are exactly the same from conception to death. So stop looking to the next guy to gauge what you have or where you are in life because you can't compare the two as they are not the same things. There is no normal life, there's just life. the Bible reminds us that all...

Romans 10:2 - For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.
For those who have been Catholic or worshiped in a denomination that related to - you know this is the Lenten Season. It’s 40 days before easter. Starts right after the orgy and bacchanalia which is Mardi Gras - ending on Fat Tuesday. All man made stuff.
40 days- ceremonious stuff -giving up stuff, man made rules
I have learned that sometimes having too much information gives you a paralysis of analysis.
You don’t know who to trust.
You latch on to things that you like and can understand, YouTube videos, speakers, IG people, and you integrate that into your faith. But it is not biblical, it is not sound doctrine.
I heard that…
- This guy on tik Tok said…
- I don’t have to go to church because…
- I don’t have to support a ministry because they are all crooks, you heard that ministry trying to get a plane?
- God knows my heart…
The devil lives for our passion, our burn out, our losses …
When we start new things, our faith walk included -join a new church, many were eager to learn, respond, and volunteer. Over time, however, eagerness waned. They lost their zeal.
What is Spiritual Zeal?
Spiritually speaking, at the beginning of our relationship with the LORD, we were eager, too. Our hearts were challenged and changed; we mourned over our wrongs, immediately sought forgiveness from God, and changed our ways.
We felt clean! We were excited! We wanted to pray, witness, read God’s Word, do good works, influence our world, and honor the Lord in any way we could!
How do we renew and keep our zeal for him? That was precisely the concern of the Israelites. What they did may serve as an example to help us.

Four ways to keep our zeal
Nehemiah told them this was not a time for grieving; this was a time for rejoicing, for they were seeking to obey God and were enjoying his favor! Their grief turned to joy. Nehemiah 8:9-12 (NASB)
1. Keep our zeal by making a commitment
2. Keep our zeal by holding ourselves accountable
3. Keep our zeal by assigning responsibilities
4. Keep our zeal by being attentive
Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. (Romans 12:1- 2, 10- 11, NIV)
Don't watch the clock; do what it does. ...
“Just because you're taking longer than others does not mean you're a failure. Keep going.”
