How to control your thoughts 05/22/2023

How to control your thoughts Did you know there's a distinction between instrusive and lustful thoughts? How do we take every thought captive and make it obedient to Christ, in a practical way? Are you a victim of your thoughts or are you dominating them? "We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ." 2 Chorinthians 10:5 "The kingdom of God suffers violence and the violent take it by force!” Matthew 11:12 /episode/index/show/samspodcast/id/26987121

Faith is spelled RISK (part 2) 04/22/2023

Faith is spelled RISK (part 2) "Faith without works is dead" James 2:17 By faith Noah built an ark; by faith Abraham was ready to sacrifice Isaac; by faith the prostitute Rahab welcomed the spies. Is your faith active? The Bible says demons believe in God and they tremble. We are not called to simply believe there is a God in Heaven. We are called to have a personal relationship with God and to live a life of faith. As you step out in faith, trust that God's provision will follow you. /episode/index/show/samspodcast/id/26295753

Faith is spelled RISK (part 1) 03/22/2023

Faith is spelled RISK (part 1) "By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God's command so that what is SEEN was not made out of what was VISIBLE". Genesis 1 The earth was formless and empty Darkness was over the surface of the deep And what was in the midst of darkness? God's spirit! It was waiting for God to speak out in FAITH! God said "let there be light" - and there was light! Are you living a life of faith? What are you waiting for? /episode/index/show/samspodcast/id/26293329

The Importance of God's Word 02/22/2023

The Importance of God's Word Why do you believe in Jesus? Why do you pray? fast? tithe? - When your friends will ask you these questions what will you say? My mum told me to? or my Pastor said it's important? We need to have deep convictions based on God's Word. Ask Him to give you the Spirit of Wisdom and Revelation as you read the Bible and make sure you build your life on the Rock. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. People are looking for christians that live out what they believe in and have a strong conviction in what God says in His Word. /episode/index/show/samspodcast/id/26016162

Lifestyle Christianity 12/22/2022

Lifestyle Christianity We have been saved to save, blessed to bless! Keep proclaiming the praises of Him who called you out of darkness. The harvest is ready!!! "But you are a Chosen people, a Royal Priesthood, a Holy Nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light." 1 peter 2:9 /episode/index/show/samspodcast/id/25406847

NO Shortcuts in God's Kingdom! 12/16/2022

NO Shortcuts in God's Kingdom! "A different route that is shorter than the one usually taken". God rejects Saul as King in 1 Samuel 15 because he didn't obey 100%. Shortcuts will cut your blessing. God desires obedience more than sacrifice, what does it mean? /episode/index/show/samspodcast/id/25347606

Life Changing 11/30/2022

Life Changing My life radically changed when I received the Baptism in the Holy Spirit. How? Can you also receive it? Lean back and enjoy. Jesus said "Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you." "If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”. /episode/index/show/samspodcast/id/25178466

Carpool w/ Meesh Fomenko 11/06/2022

Carpool w/ Meesh Fomenko Here's a short interview with Meesh Fomenko. He was born in Moldova and is the third of seven children. He was born into poverty and severe Communist persecution. Memories of his family being oppressed for being christian, flood his heritage, with experiences such as church meetings in the forests to stay away from authorities, house bugged by the government to prevent the spreading of their faith, and massive fines to his father for driving around ministers who spread the Gospel. He is leading BEMOVED and wants to REACH people around the world with the message of Jesus, RAISE believers to understand their identity & begin to operate in authority and RELEASE influencers to shape and transform culture.

3 tips to overcome anxiety 10/24/2022

3 tips to overcome anxiety I'm not an expert on the topic but I have understood that to feel anxious is not a SIN but a SIGNAL. We aren't called to live in a constant state of worry, fear, anxiety. Jesus said "I give you my peace". So how can we live peacefully? What should we do when we feel anxious? Is it normal to feel anxious at times? Hope this episode will help you and inspire you. /episode/index/show/samspodcast/id/24787530

How I rest 10/10/2022

How I rest Maybe you don't feel rested after the summer. I used to picture myself lying on a beautiful beach under the sun drinking Ice tea when I thought about the word "REST". What does it mean to rest? How should we rest? Where do we find true rest? Is it to sleep a lot or eat good food? Here are some of my reflections /episode/index/show/samspodcast/id/24640503

Test your Heart 06/26/2022

Test your Heart What's in your heart? "Remember how the Lord your God led you all the way in the wilderness these forty years, to humble and test you in order to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep his commands." /episode/index/show/samspodcast/id/23451149

Pursue Humility 06/16/2022

Pursue Humility Humility. It is commonly used as a form of sarcasm more than by referring to its actual meaning. In church settings, it is frequently mentioned as it is understood to be the root of every virtue even if in a very superficial way. 1. It is a universal spiritual law. 2. It is a decision not an emotion. "For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted". /episode/index/show/samspodcast/id/23450876

Listen if you want to feel LOVED 05/16/2022

Listen if you want to feel LOVED In the last episode "Talk is cheap" we spoke about the life we are called to live. Signs & wonders, miracles and the supernatural are supposed to be part of the believer's life. However, what's the main purpose of our life? Does God merely want to use us or does he truly love us? How can you be sure of His love towards you? /episode/index/show/samspodcast/id/23130773

Talk is cheap 05/09/2022

Talk is cheap 1 corinthians 4:20 says "For the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power". Do you just say you are a christian or do you live like one? Are you merely believing Jesus could do miracles or do you believe you can also pray for the sick and they will be healed? Is the Bible just a book or a manual teaching us how to live life? We aren't just called to read the Bible but to live what's written in it! /episode/index/show/samspodcast/id/23049164

My Greatest Challenge 04/10/2022

My Greatest Challenge HOLINESS! Oh yes, I know that as you read this word you probably felt uncomfortable and started thinking “oh no, I’m not holy…” If God calls us to be holy it means it is possible! Well, then If it is possible, how can we (young people) live up to such a high standard? /episode/index/show/samspodcast/id/22743566

3 Tour Stories 03/28/2022

My Secret - part 2 03/11/2022

My Secret - part 2 Faith is spelled RISK. Without faith it is impossible to please God. What is faith? Are you living a life of faith? /episode/index/show/samspodcast/id/22417931

Did you say IMPOSSIBLE? 02/21/2022

Did you say IMPOSSIBLE? I have a deep passion and desire to see people change. The gospel has the power to change people's lives. Jesus healed the mother in law of Peter from fever (Matthew 8:14), a woman with an issue of blood for 12 years (Matthew 8:20), a man with leprosy (Matthew 8:1), A man crippled for 38 years (John 5) and Lazarus who was dead for 4 days (John 11:1–44). Is there anything impossible for Him? /episode/index/show/samspodcast/id/22203431

My Secret 02/07/2022

My Secret There is grace given. 2 peter 1:2-4 says that His power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness. We have all we need to live life. We just need to learn to tap into His grace!! /episode/index/show/samspodcast/id/22047290
