Have Faith in God 06/21/2023

Have Faith in God Having faith in God means having a deep trust, belief, and reliance on God's existence, goodness, faithfulness, and power. It involves placing confidence in God's character, promises, and divine guidance. Faith in God goes beyond mere intellectual acceptance and involves a personal and profound relationship with God. Having faith in God entails trusting that God is present, loving, and involved in our lives. It is the assurance that God is in control, even when circumstances seem uncertain or challenging. It involves believing that God's plans and purposes are ultimately for our good. Faith in God involves relying on Him in all aspects of life. It means surrendering our own desires and plans to God's will and seeking His guidance in decision-making. It acknowledges that we are dependent on God's strength, wisdom, and provision rather than relying solely on our own abilities. Hebrews 11:1: "Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see." Matthew 17:20: "Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you." Mark 11:24: "Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours." Romans 10:17: "So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ." Ephesians 2:8-9: "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast." James 1:6: "But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind." 2 Corinthians 5:7: "For we live by faith, not by sight." Galatians 2:20: "I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me." 1 Peter 1:8-9: "Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the end result of your faith, the salvation of your souls." /episode/index/show/jcpodcast/id/27225372

Healing Today 06/20/2023

Healing Today God's healing power can be seen in the restoration of physical health and well-being. God has the ability to intervene supernaturally or work through medical professionals and treatments to bring about healing. God's healing is not limited to physical ailments but also extends to emotional and mental well-being. God can bring comfort, peace, and healing to those who are struggling with emotional pain, trauma, anxiety, depression, or any other form of psychological distress. God's healing also encompasses spiritual restoration and reconciliation with God. By seeking God and seeking His forgiveness, individuals can experience a renewed relationship with Him. Spiritual healing involves finding forgiveness for past mistakes and sins, experiencing inner peace, and growing in spiritual maturity through the knowledge of Jesus Christ. Psalm 103:2-3: "Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits, who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases." Exodus 15:26: "If you will diligently listen to the voice of the Lord your God, and do that which is right in his eyes, and give ear to his commandments and keep all his statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you that I put on the Egyptians, for I am the Lord, your healer." James 5:14-15: "Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven." Isaiah 53:4-5: "Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds, we are healed." Jeremiah 30:17: "For I will restore health to you, and your wounds I will heal, declares the Lord." Matthew 4:23: "And he went throughout all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction among the people." /episode/index/show/jcpodcast/id/27203754

Your Words 06/14/2023

Your Words Choose words that are Christ like, gentle and considerate. Avoid harsh, critical, or demeaning language. Treat others with respect and speak to them in a way that acknowledges their worth and dignity. Truly listen to others when they speak, giving them your full attention. This shows that you value their thoughts and opinions. Avoid interrupting or dismissing their ideas. Instead, seek to understand and empathize with their perspective. If you need to provide feedback or address a concern, do so in a constructive manner. Focus on the behavior or issue at hand rather than attacking the person's character. Offer suggestions for improvement and encourage growth. Express gratitude and appreciation for the people around you. Acknowledge their contributions and efforts. Genuine words of thanks and praise can uplift others and strengthen relationships. When conflicts arise, approach them with a willingness to listen, understand, and find a resolution through prayerful open and respectful dialogue. Avoid resorting to harsh words, insults, or personal attacks. Strive for peaceful and constructive communication. Refrain from engaging in gossip, spreading rumors, or speaking negatively about your Christian brothers and sisters. Instead, focus on building a positive and supportive atmosphere. Encourage others to do the same by setting an example with your own words. Proverbs 15:1 (NIV): "A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger." Ephesians 4:29 (NIV): "Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen." James 1:19 (NIV): "My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry." Proverbs 16:24 (NIV): "Gracious words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones." Colossians 4:6 (NIV): "Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone." Proverbs 18:21 (NIV): "The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit." Matthew 12:36-37 (NIV): "But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken. For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words, you will be condemned." /episode/index/show/jcpodcast/id/27131676

Don't Worry 06/13/2023

Don't Worry If you have faith in God, you can trust that He is in control of all things in your life. The Bible encourages believers to put their trust in God, knowing that He cares for His children and has a plan for their lives. Worrying does not change the outcome of a situation or solve problems. It drains our energy and mental well-being, leaving us less equipped to handle the challenges at hand. Instead of worrying, it is more constructive to focus on prayer, problem-solving, seeking wisdom, and taking positive action. The Scriptures provide numerous promises and assurances from God. For example, Matthew 6:25-34 reminds us that God knows our needs and promises to provide for us. Philippians 4:6-7 assures us that when we bring our concerns to God in prayer, His peace will guard our hearts and minds. By meditating on these promises, we can find comfort and strength in difficult times. Worry often stems from a lack of trust and faith. It can indicate that we are relying solely on our own abilities and understanding, rather than acknowledging God's sovereignty. Trusting in God means surrendering our worries and anxieties to Him, believing that He is capable of handling our concerns and working things out for our good. Matthew 6:25-27 (NIV): "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?" Philippians 4:6-7 (NIV): "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." 1 Peter 5:7 (NIV): "Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you." Matthew 11:28-30 (NIV): "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." Psalm 55:22 (NIV): "Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken." Isaiah 41:10 (NIV): "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." /episode/index/show/jcpodcast/id/27131562

Show the Light 06/09/2023

Show the Light Being the light of the world is a profound calling and responsibility that Jesus gave to His followers. When Jesus said, "You are the light of the world" (Matthew 5:14), He was inviting His disciples, and by extension, all believers, to be a source of light and hope in a world filled with darkness Being the light of the world means reflecting and sharing God's truth. It involves living according to the principles and teachings found in God's Word, the Bible, and allowing that truth to shine through your words and actions. Being the light of the world means directing people's attention to Jesus Christ. It involves sharing His message of salvation, demonstrating His love and grace, and inviting others to experience the transformative power of a relationship with Him. Matthew 5:14-16: "You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven." Ephesians 5:8: "For at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light." Philippians 2:14-15: "Do all things without grumbling or disputing, that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world." 1 Peter 2:9: "But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light." Isaiah 49:6: "It is too light a thing that you should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob and to bring back the preserved of Israel; I will make you as a light for the nations, that my salvation may reach to the end of the earth." 2 Corinthians 4:6: "For God, who said, 'Let light shine out of darkness,' has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. /episode/index/show/jcpodcast/id/27036009

Money 06/08/2023

Money 2 Cor 9:8 Amplified version "And God is able to make all grace [every favor and earthly blessing] come in abundance to you, so that you may always [under all circumstances, regardless of the need] have complete sufficiency in everything [being completely self-sufficient in Him], and have an abundance for every good work and act of charity." The act of giving to God holds great significance in the lives of believers. It is an expression of worship, faith, gratitude, and obedience. Giving to God is an act of worship, acknowledging His sovereignty and lordship over our lives. It reflects a posture of surrender, recognizing that everything we have comes from God and belongs to Him. Giving to God demonstrates trust in His provision. It reflects our belief that God is the ultimate source of all blessings and that He will take care of our needs as we prioritize Him. While giving should not be driven solely by a desire for personal gain, the Bible does mention that God blesses those who give with a cheerful heart. Luke 6:38 states, "Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you." Matthew 6:24: "No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money." Proverbs 3:9-10: "Honor the LORD with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops; then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine." 1 Timothy 6:10: "For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs." Matthew 19:21: "Jesus said to him, 'If you would be perfect, go, sell what you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.'" Luke 16:10: "Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much." 2 Corinthians 9:7: "Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver." Proverbs 22:7: "The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is slave to the lender." Malachi 3:10: "Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this," says the LORD Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it." Ecclesiastes 5:10: "Whoever loves money never has enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with their income. This too is meaningless." /episode/index/show/jcpodcast/id/27035997

"490 Times" 06/06/2023

"490 Times" "No, not seven times," Jesus replied, "but seventy times seven!" Matt 18:22 NLT Peter asks Jesus about the number of times he should forgive, and Jesus responds by emphasizing the need for unlimited forgiveness. Instead of forgiving someone merely seven times, Jesus instructs his followers to extend forgiveness seventy times seven, emphasizing the boundless and gracious nature of forgiveness. The Bible emphasizes that God is the ultimate model of forgiveness. God's forgiveness is seen as unconditional, merciful, and abundant. Scriptures such as Psalm 103:12 and Micah 7:18-19 highlight God's forgiveness, describing how He removes our sins from us and casts them into the depths of the sea. The Bible commands believers to forgive others just as God has forgiven them. Jesus teaches in Matthew 6:14-15 that if we forgive others, God will also forgive us, but if we withhold forgiveness, we cannot expect to receive forgiveness from God. Matthew 6:14-15: "For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses." Ephesians 4:32: "Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you." Colossians 3:13: "Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you." Luke 17:3-4: "Pay attention to yourselves! If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him, and if he sins against you seven times in the day, and turns to you seven times, saying, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him." Mark 11:25: "And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses." Matthew 5:23-24: "So if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar and go. First, be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift." Psalm 103:12: "As far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us." Micah 7:18-19: "Who is a God like you, who pardons sin and forgives the transgression of the remnant of his inheritance? You do not stay angry forever but delight to show mercy. You will again have compassion on us; you will tread our sins underfoot and hurl all our iniquities into the depths of the sea." /episode/index/show/jcpodcast/id/27035967
