    Death to Self: The Foundation of Faith

    In this episode of Words of Light for Today, Rev. Linda L. Adkins teaches on one of the most overlooked truths in the Christian life — death to self. Drawing from Philippians 3, Romans 6, and the words of Jesus in Luke 9, she reveals that death to self is not a concept reserved for the spiritually elite. It is the only pathway to fruitfulness, and it is the foundation on which genuine faith is built. Rev. Adkins explains that every believer has been given a measure of faith — but that faith can be dammed up. Like a river blocked by pride, fear, resentment, and self-reliance, the faith is present but unable to flow freely. She draws a clear and convicting distinction between the saved life and the spiritual life, showing that carnality — mixing self with Christ — is not a sign of unbelief, but it is a barrier to breakthrough. And she makes this plain: becoming spiritual is not a process of accumulation. It is a process of being peeled. If you have ever wondered why your prayers seem unanswered, why your faith appears to work for others but not for you, or why your walk with God feels stuck — this message will show you where to look. The self-life is blocking the river. And God, in His faithfulness, is still at work, pressing and peeling, ready to set it free.

    The Whole Offering: Surrendering the ‘I’

    What does it truly mean to be a living sacrifice? In today’s episode of Words of Light for Today, we are brought face-to-face with a powerful truth: surrender is not partial—it is whole. Through a deep and sobering reflection on Romans 12 and the Old Testament sacrifices, this message calls us beyond surface-level faith into a life fully yielded to God. Reverend Adkins unpacks the reality that everything in our walk with Him is voluntary—love, obedience, prayer, even kindness. Yet, while it is voluntary, it also requires grit. The battle is not external—it is within. The “I” in us—our will, our pride, our fear—is the very thing that must be laid down. When the mind is renewed, clarity comes. When the “I” is surrendered, peace takes its place. And when we offer ourselves completely, we become that sweet-smelling sacrifice—holy and acceptable unto Him. This episode is both a challenge and an invitation: Will you hold onto yourself… or will you give Him everything? Because in the end, transformation begins where surrender becomes complete.

    Set Free From Sin: Choosing the Life That Produces Holiness

    In this insightful episode of Words of Light for Today, Rev. Linda L. Adkins teaches from Romans 6 about what it truly means to be set free from sin and fully yielded to God. Freedom in Christ is not just about being forgiven—it is about choosing a new master. As Rev. Linda explains, believers are not powerless against sin. Through Christ, sin no longer has dominion, and we now have the ability to choose obedience, holiness, and the life God designed for us.

    Desire That Produces Understanding

    In this powerful episode of Words of Light for Today, Rev. Linda L. Adkins teaches a foundational truth of the Christian life: understanding comes from desire. Spiritual growth is not determined by talent, education, or natural ability. It begins with a heart that truly wants the things of God. When desire is present, understanding follows—and when that desire aligns with God’s will, it begins to transform every part of a believer’s life.

    The Concrete Character of Christ: Living the Full Fruit of the Spirit

    In this powerful episode of Words of Light for Today, Rev. Linda L. Adkins teaches on the fruit of the Spirit and the character of Christ that God intends to form within every believer. The fruit of the Spirit is not abstract or symbolic—it is concrete, absolute, and meant to be lived out in daily life. Love is the activating force behind it all, and when the fruit of the Spirit comes alive within us, the gifts of the Spirit are able to operate for the benefit of others.

    The Fortitude to Be Still: Patience and the Fruit of the Spirit

    In this episode of Words of Light for Today, Rev. Linda Adkins focuses on the fruit of the Spirit and how they operate in the life of a believer. She explores the relationship between the Gifts of the Spirit and the Fruit of the Spirit, with special attention to patience, kindness, and goodness. Patience is described not as a natural personality trait, but as something the Holy Spirit develops within us—the fortitude to be still. Many people struggle to wait, to be quiet, or to remain steady when circumstances press in. Yet learning to be still allows us to hear God clearly. When we cultivate the Fruit of the Spirit in our lives, we begin to recognize His voice and walk with greater spiritual clarity. This episode challenges believers to allow the Holy Spirit to form true patience within them so they can remain steady, listen for God, and respond to His direction.

    Ep. 044: Grace Requires Participation

    In this episode of Words of Light for Today, Rev. Linda L. Adkins continues her teaching on the grace life, emphasizing a truth every believer must understand: grace does not function automatically—it requires our participation. Grace is God’s provision, strength, and empowerment, but we must choose to cooperate with it through obedience, humility, discipline, and right thinking. Rev. Adkins teaches that spiritual growth is not accidental; it is cultivated as we consistently align our minds, attitudes, and actions with the Word of God.

    Ep. 043: The Grace Life — Power to Stand, Endure, and Overcome

    In this powerful episode of Words of Light for Today, Rev. Linda L. Adkins teaches on the true meaning of the grace life—not as a concept, but as a relationship with God that empowers believers to stand firm through every disappointment, attack, and unexpected turn of life. Grace is not fragile; it is the energizing force of God, ready to catch what falls toward you, strengthen you under pressure, and keep you in joy even when life hits hard. But as Rev. Linda reminds us, grace requires participation. You must “let” it work. You must stay in the relationship.
