Everyday God Conversations

Hope 103.2

The God of the Bible is a talking God. All throughout the Scriptures, God is seen talking to people. First to the prophets, then most fully in Jesus and today through his Holy Spirit. When we choose to follow Jesus, the Spirit speaks to remind us of all that Jesus established and apply it to our lives. So how does the Spirit speak? How do we know it’s God? And what happens afterwards? Join Rev Dr Tania Harris as she explores what the Spirit is saying to us. Everyday God Conversations will encourage you weekly to reflect on the God-conversations of Scripture, the ultimate God-conversation in Jesus and to hear from the Holy Spirit yourself. Remember, it was never meant to be a one-way conversation! Listen to more from our Hope Podcasts collection at hopepodcasts.com.au.

    Are We Letting The Spirit Lead Or Playing the Moral Police?

    Key Takeaways: The decision to follow Jesus initiates a lifelong transformation process guided by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit convicts individuals of their sins, teaching them to release these burdens at the cross. Each believer's pathway to spiritual fulfillment is unique, tailored by God through the Holy Spirit. Discipleship is about aiding others in listening to God, rather than enforcing moral laws. The ultimate question for self-reflection is understanding what the Holy Spirit is communicating personally. Notable Quotes: "The Holy Spirit speaks to reveal the reality of our sin and uncover the darkness in our hearts." "The path of discipleship and transformation is led by the Spirit and it's tailored to the individual." "When we allow the Spirit to lead the process, it results in joy and life." "We're called to help people follow Jesus, not to act as the moral police." "What is the Holy Spirit saying to me? Am I recognizing it? And most importantly, am I doing it?"

    Key Takeaways: Seeking God involves maintaining a childlike heart—characterized by openness, humility, and curiosity. Zacchaeus's story demonstrates the power of determination and openness in experiencing divine intervention.

Continual seeking and maintaining a humble disposition are critical preconditions for experiencing God's presence and voice. Notable Quotes: "Why are these people having visions of Jesus? Why does God speak to this person and not another?" "God's revelation comes to those who are seeking it." "Zacchaeus was hungry to meet Jesus. He was desperate to see Jesus, and he wasn't going to let anything stop him." "The one precondition for meeting God is humility and openness. Like children who seek to learn."

    The Day Your Life Flashes Before You

    Key Takeaways: Near-death experiences hold potential evidence for life after death, aligning them with biblical accounts of heaven. Subjects of NDEs often report transformative encounters characterized by love, light, and a life review that echoes Jesus' teachings on accountability. Despite recognizing past actions during life reviews, individuals feel God's unconditional love rather than condemnation. Many people who experience NDEs bring back profound changes in priorities and lifestyle, which reflect eternal values. The overarching message is that encountering God's grace during life, not just through NDEs, brings personal transformation. Notable Quotes: "Scientists say NDEs may be the strongest evidence we have for life after death." "Yet the most surprising part of these accounts is that after seeing all the good and all the bad people, people don't feel shame or condemnation." "Our sin has real consequences not just for us but for those around us." "Jesus didn't come to condemn the world but to save it." "This grace is available to all of us today, and we don't have to wait for a near-death experience to encounter it." The God of the Bible is a talking God.

    Spiritual Not Religious

    Key Takeaways: Many people today identify as "spiritual but not religious," attracted by spiritual experiences rather than religious doctrines. Jesus' teachings often clashed with religious orthodoxies, suggesting that spirituality transcends structured rituals and focuses on love and mercy. The Holy Spirit plays a pivotal role in connecting spiritual seekers with God's presence, grace, and love. Organized religion should serve the spiritual goal of fostering love for God and others rather than merely following rituals. Engaging with spirituality can lead to mental well-being, unified by the innate human desire to seek divine connection. Notable Quotes: "Oddly enough, Jesus himself could be described as spiritual, not religious." "Religious practices, whatever they are, exist to serve the spiritual, the goal of loving God and loving people." "Our call is to help others love God and people, to bring clarity for those who are seeking but don't know the fullness of God's name." "There is something in the heart of the spiritual, not religious, that is reaching out to God." "We are all wired to seek God." The God of the Bible is a talking God. All throughout the Scriptures, God is seen talking to people. First to the prophets, then most fully in Jesus and today through his Holy Spirit.
