  • 466. What is the Biggest Obstacle to Prayer?

    10:00||Season 22, Ep. 466
    True prayer is an inventory of wants, a catalog of necessities, and a revelation of HIDDEN POVERTY. Although prayer appeals to and seeks the divine abundance found through Christ Jesus in Heaven, it is also an acknowledgment of human insufficiency and is a confession of human emptiness. God in His grace and mercy gives us the strength and power to pray through the Holy Spirit in Jesus Name!DONATE You can help support this podcast by clicking our secure PayPal account.

  • 465. The Sound of Silence

    11:22||Season 22, Ep. 465
    Simon & Garfunkel's hit song "The Sound of Silence" explores the themes of isolation, societal disconnect, and the failure of communication. But, in the spiritual realm of communication with the Lord God of the Universe, silence is the most intimate, key medium of hearing God's voice. This episode begins with four ways in which this concept resonates and wraps up with ten key points for devotional meditation on the theme of silence as God's intimate communication that resonates deeply in spiritual growth and trust.DONATE You can help support this podcast by clicking our secure PayPal account.

  • 462. Where will you be 100 years from now?

    07:36||Season 22, Ep. 462
    In the midst of seemingly relentless catastrophes, wars, and social unrest, you really need to answer the question- where will you be 100 years from now? You may not realize it at this moment, but you WILL BE somewhere specific then. The time is NOW to give this serious question massive thought and come to the life saving conclusion that God offers through the acceptance of Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord.

    This is part two of the last episode. I didn't set out to write a second part, but this episode explains how it came about. This episode was written on my reflections on Oswald Chambers' devotion for August 26th. His insight really provoked my thinking. You will be tempted to approach this subject as a cliche, if you have been a follower of Christ for a length of time. Don't!

  • 459. In a Pickle?

    20:39||Season 22, Ep. 459
    Hey, how about that pickle ball? It's all the latest rage! This episode calls you to attention to live a life laser focused on Jesus Christ in this time of great trauma and treachery. I am really being motivated by the Holy Spirit to call all to get as serious about their personal walk with Jesus Christ as they can, in order that no one is overtaken in a fault in this time of spiritual testing. If you are in a cloud about my characterization of this present situation being traumatic & treacherous with the threat of a time of testing coming, then you are in jeopardy of not being ready. We must be about making our calling and election sure. We are reminded in Scripture that a time is coming where whatever can be shaken will be shaken.
