Overcome Evil by The Spirit of The Lord (231) - February 3 2024
Play on other Podcast Apps It is time to go around the mountain once more. We as the Body of Christ must learn to speak to the mountains in the world that need to be removed (Mark 11:23). There are mountains everywhere to be cast into the sea. Mountains of captivity for the souls in Afghanistan. Mountains of sickness and disease in people’s bodies. Mountains of lack. We can use the faith that…

God Wants Me to Pray
By Adrian Rogers “For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, you are God’s building.”  1 Corinthians 3:9 Why has God allowed us to pray? Have you ever thought about that? Prayer is so mysterious. What is the purpose of prayer? Read More

"THAT CONTAINER IS LYING ABOUT ITS CONTENTS"
Matthew 7:15, “Be on your guard against false prophets; they come to you LOOKING LIKE SHEEP on the OUTSIDE, but on the INSIDE they are really like wild WOLVES.” (GNT) My two favorite seasons are Winter and Fall! Winter, because I love Christmas, snow, carols, decorations and the like. And Fall, because I love the colors, Thanksgiving, the start of the scent of fireplaces, but most of all,…

1 John Bonus: What is Love? (Part 2 of 3)
Probably the best-known passage on love in the Greek scriptures is found Paul’s first letter to the church in Corinth, 1 Corinthians 13. #WhatisLove #Agape #1Corinthians13
Expositors will often speak of heavenly love as agape, and probably the best-known passage on love in the Greek scriptures is found Paul’s first letter to the church in Corinth, 1 Corinthians 13. 1 Corinthians 13 In this chapter, Paul describes the nature of agape as patient, kind, humble, cooperative, even-tempered, generous-hearted in a way that conveys trust and loyalty, ever…

“When God Gave Me More Than I Could Handle” By Dr Michelle Bengtson:
“People, Christians included, often say that God won’t give you any more than you can handle, but that’s just not true. We’ve gotten it all wrong. Nowhere in the Bible does it say that God won’t give us more than we can handle. It says he won’t let us be tempted beyond what we can bear, and that he will provide a way out of temptation so that we can handle it.
“No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it” (1 Corinthians 10:13).
But that’s talking about temptation, not enduring the trials and hardships of life. I would go so far as to say that God absolutely does give us more than we can handle! But He does so for a purpose. To those who so often say to me, “I don’t know how you handle everything you’ve been given,” I don’t. Repeatedly God has brought me to the place where I can’t handle it on my own. I can’t do it without Him.
Life is hard. Life is weighty. Life is overwhelming. We can’t do it alone, without Him. That’s why Jesus comforted us with the promise that,
“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world” (John 16:33).
Jesus doesn’t ask us to carry the load by ourselves. Jesus beckons us to find our refuge, our strength, our peace in Him when life is just more than we can handle on our own.
When you feel like giving up, giving in, and letting go, God is holding on to you. When we experience difficulties that are too great for us to handle, they remind us that we must depend on God.
“For I am the LORD your God, who upholds your right hand, Who says to you, ‘Do not fear, I will help you’” (Isaiah 41:13).
“The LORD also will be a stronghold for the oppressed, A stronghold in times of trouble” (Psalm 9:9).
When you’re weak, God wants to be strong for you. He wants to be the rock that you lean on, the strong tower that you run to. The times that overwhelm us show us that God is our source of strength.
“The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise him” (Psalm 28:7).
“But the salvation of the righteous is from the LORD; He is their strength in time of trouble” (Psalm 37:39-40).
The times that overwhelm us show us that God is our source of strength. When you feel weak, lost, and scared, not even sure where your next breath will come from, take God’s hand and know that He’s going to help you through it, one moment at a time. The times that are too difficult to handle on our own teach us to trust God even when we cannot see.
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight” (Proverbs 3:5-6).
“Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD GOD is an everlasting rock” (Isaiah 26:4).
When all you can do is cry, God is a safe place to do that because He promises to dry your eyes. When we are faced with difficulties that are more than we can handle on our own, we have an opportunity to experience God as our refuge.
“God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble” (Psalm 46:1).
“As for God, his way is perfect: The LORD’s word is flawless; he shields all who take refuge in him” (Psalm 18:30).
We will go through the hard times but never alone or without His helpful, guiding hand. So, does God give us more than we can handle on our own? Yes. But He makes us a promise that is worth holding onto:
“When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you” (Isaiah 43:2).
We will go through the hard times, the fiery times, the overwhelming times, but never alone, and never without His helpful, guiding hand.
The question is, will you trust Him with those heavy, overwhelming burdens that are more than you can handle?
Because of Him, #HopePrevails!”

The Relationship Between Farming and Holiness
Analogies are helpful and here is a good one from a godly leader who now lives with Jesus. Jerry Bridges was a long time staff member with the Navigators, a discipleship ministry that started in the military but has expanded in to worldwide discipling movement.   Wise words from Jerry Bridges and his classic book The Pursuit of Holiness. Here’s the analogy that Bridges uses: “Farming is a joint…

His Own People Didn't See Who Jesus Was: Were They TOO Close?
It is a remarkable point of fact that the Hebrew leaders in first Century Jerusalem and even many of his contemporaries did not see clearly who Jesus was. He performed miracles, but not in front of everybody; he was foretold by the Hebrew Scriptures, but he wasn’t raised as a Pharisee or a Levite. So why didn’t the religious rock stars in Jerusalem see Jesus as the Son of God? Could they have…

Eternal Assurance: Trusting in Christ Alone
Back in the early 90’s I faced a crisis as I held to a works-based salvation and constantly lived in fear of my eternal destiny. I had no assurance of my salvation because I never knew if I’d performed enough good works to validate my salvation. It was a terrible place to be. The solution came when I began to study the Scriptures carefully, stopped looking at myself, and fixed my “eyes on Jesus,…

Now here's the real message of "inclusion" the world needs:
"The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance" (2 Peter 3:9);
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life" (John 3:16);
"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:9);
"If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved" (Romans 10:9);
"Flee from sexual immorality" (1 Corinthians 6:18); "For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God"(John 3:17–18).

What is it Like to be You?
We’ve all played “ice breaker” games with a group of people who we may know very little about. It’s a great way to get to know each other in a very open environment. But, instead of the usual questions: “What do you do for fun? What was your most embarrassing moment? What was your favorite vacation?”, what if this question were asked: “What is it like to be you?” I assure you – it would depend…

It is important that we meet the physical needs of those around us.
Simple acts of kindness. Things that take the focus off ourselves and onto others.
Made for a mission - to share the Good News with others. John 20:21 Acts 1:8
We're to tell others about God and His role in our lives. To share to Gospel. Luke 8:38, 39

Stop Doing THIS.... 10 Mistakes of Deliverance | Vlad Savchuk
don't think this is a #popular ministry was describing problem & absolutely no one is all that sure that Christians can be possessed by a demon.
Seriously, we tend to assume only a non-believer has this problem—as it seems how can the SPIRIT #indwell a person who is also #possessed..
Only comfort I found was JESUS: "Get thee behind ME Satan [Peter]"
Those who practice #lawlessness were still #effective in the ministry of deliverance of low level demons [7:00] Thank you for clarifying that passage, Matthew 7:22-23! No one has ever done it; 𝘀𝗼 𝗺𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆!!!
Honestly thought that Luke 10:20 contradicted v.22-23! No one gave a cognizant answer ever.
You seriously kicked down the door & inspire me to get back to studying GOD's Word again.
Walking in the anointing of the HOLY SPIRIT, overflow of the life of GOD in HIS servant, means filled with GOD & dedicated to HIM, crucifying yourself & killing your private lions before you are defeating public giants..
nice connection to lion's den [7:40] this is crazy, you're not even trying
overcoming temptations/trails on a personal level, then you're also used by GOD to help other people. I love it
You have no idea how creeped out I have been by Tim Keller's statement how GOD can still write with crooked pencils, which alludes to people who can minister and still be falling apart spiritually—feel that way now actually
Never take your last achievement as GOD's stamp of approval on your life & choices, you have to examine your life with GOD's Word, instead of your latest miracle/𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁! ouch
The sign that GOD is pleased with you is the Word of GOD & conviction of the HOLY SPIRIT. [8:00 - 8:25]
Yeah well GOD said Love is patient, at least that is what HE said to me a few days ago when I asked why HE put up with me & all these slow-mo uptake…
And you just said the magic phrase: Rules of Engagement
that is the caption I put for Keller's sermon on Nehemiah 3-4, which I was just going over….
But I disagree w/ point 4 disorders, in that GOD also uses it to #cause us to
𝗽𝗿𝗮𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗮𝗿𝗲 #𝘀𝘂𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴
so we can be prompted to #cry with those who cry. [Romans 12:15]
or we suffer to later help others who suffer like we did [2 Corinthians 1:3-4]
was healed of asthma after Henry Hinn prayed over me, my nose took 3-4 days to dry up. My parents #encouraged me that it's done and dusted when it wasn't quite there yet. [James 1:6-7]
Doubt will kill your miracle: That man should not expect to receive anything from the LORD..
"Help my unbelief!" [Mark 9:24]
I know big hairy deal, ppl take objection with this fact, they say it's unkind to put that out there, well my neighbour says, don't try to deliver anyone who doesn't really want it. Problem solved? maybe
GOD also told Abraham to sacrifice his only son, it's a test of your resolve to be all in. 100% wish'd more ministries were trusting GOD for their expenses but pot calling the kettle black right now.
Closest was Charles Stanley's ministry but then again they sell things, it is like a regular business..I don't see anyone trusting GOD to clothe them like a lily
Thank you for Point #9, that #misuse scared the daylights out of me. I have no interest in making ppl worse off at all, at least not unless that is how it'll leads to total redemption later on.
You have really thought this thru Vlad! That blip's turning out really well used
