I begin each podcast by reading a passage of scripture that tells of your significance and great worth. Then, I give you a simple phrase pulled from the passage, and challenge you to believe and speak the phrase. I encourage you to declare it daily throughout the week because your tongue has power. I close each podcast with a prayer to impress the declaration upon your heart and mind. That’s the basic format of Believe & Speak: Scripture, Declaration, Prayer.

    How does God make His will known?

    Is it possible to hear God’s voice?

    I say yes. Not only because I’ve heard Him—not audibly but undoubtedly, but also because He promised in Scripture that He would speak through the Holy Spirit.

    I can take Him at His Word that God makes known to me what I need to know.

    Supernatural guidance is different from the way Jesus guided his disciples. We can’t follow Him around like the disciples did. But God still guides us today. Just not in the same way Jesus did.

    Today we’re going to look at His promise to guide us and how we receive that guidance.

    This week’s scripture: John 16:13b-15

    Supernatural guidance may not be as obvious as following Jesus around in the flesh, but the Holy Spirit is every bit as present with us now as Jesus was with the disciples when he walked this earth. And He has something to say to you.

    Imagine hanging out with a wise and loving person who always has your back. Now imagine that perfect friend and ideal mentor suddenly disappears.

    That’s exactly what happened to the disciples when Jesus died.

    BUT... shortly before going to the cross, Jesus promised that the Holy Spirit would come to them and enter into a deeply profound relationship with them.

    Being filled with the Spirit is different from following Jesus around; it’s supernatural rather than natural. But having a supernatural relationship with God means I can trust that the Spirit of truth guides me into all truth.

    This week’s scripture: John 16:12-13a

    This podcast episode is for anyone who understands that you can hunger and thirst for more than food and water.

    If you’ve ever felt entirely empty or desperately dry, then you’ll be encouraged by the hope I’ll be sharing today from Psalm 63.

    The message in this psalm can be summed up in today’s declaration:

    Praising God refreshes my dried-up soul.

    If you’re currently in a dry season, then stick with me because I’ve got three ways to refresh your soul and a “happy feet” version of an old hymn that will have you praising God.

    This week’s scripture: Psalm 63:1-8

    Do you know what it’s like to be stuck in a pit of disappointment? Dashed hopes and dismantled dreams can plunge us into a pit of despair where the mud and mire of despondency keep us from climbing out. I’ve been there and know the only hope of escape is rescue. But I also know this: I have a rescuer who hears my cries from the pit. SUBSCRIBE AND WATCH TO LEARN MORE  @BeginAgainGod  Whether or not you’re currently in a pit, I think you’ll be encouraged by the scripture I’ll be sharing today along with 3 things it teaches us about how to wait patiently for God's rescue. We will learn to believe and speak this declaration with confidence: God lifts me up and steadies me. Today we’ll look at 3 things Psalm 40 teaches us about how to persevere through tough times and actually wait patiently.

    This week’s scripture: Psalm 40:1-3

    Does God accept some people but not others?

    Are only certain people from certain backgrounds welcomed by God? Or can anybody say with confidence, “I am welcomed and accepted by God.”

    In the earliest days of the church, the apostles held a narrow view of who could enter the kingdom of God. Sadly, today’s church also has preconceived ideas about who is acceptable to God.

    Today we’ll look at what the Bible says about who is acceptable to God and why. We will also learn to keys to unlocking the joy of acceptance.

    This week’s scripture: Acts 10:34-35

    I’ve heard it said that we’re human beings not human doings, and yet too many of us feel like we need to be doing something to prove ourselves worthy of being. It’s a trap I get caught in even though I know I don’t have to prove myself to God. That’s the phrase I’ll ask you to believe and speak with me today. I’ll also give you two reasons why you don’t have to prove yourself and a secret that will have you saying “I’m free to be me.”

    This week’s scripture: Romans 8:1-2

Beautiful voice ringing in your ear with a powerful message from one of gods mustard seed, just a perfect length of a fresh dose of medicine for the day

MRoland19 ,

Perfect for weekly devotional!

I love the length and how much you can gain from it in just a short time! It’s easy and quick to listen to first thing in the morning, like a weekly devotional! Or of course listen to a couple if you’re behind! A few of them just catch me right where I am and help me see things more through God’s eyes than my own!
