    Whose Choice was it?

    In this podcast transcript, Nita Edwards explores the theological concept of divine election, emphasizing that God initiates relationships with individuals for His specific purposes. She illustrates God’s protective grace through a story of two women narrowly avoiding a structural collapse, suggesting that the Creator remains active in shielding His followers. By referencing the Apostle Paul, the speaker argues that a believer’s service is defined by their relationship, understanding, and attitudetoward the divine. Edwards contends that one's perception of God—whether as a loving father or a harsh critic—directly influences their ability to respond to His call with joyful obedience. Ultimately, the text serves as a call for listeners to evaluate their spiritual lives and surrender to being used as instruments for God's glory. Through these reflections, she highlights that God’s intimate knowledge of human motives necessitates a life of humility and trust. The podcast highlights several key biblical verses to explore the theme of God’s choice and our response to Him: John 15:16: "You did not choose me, but I chose you." This verse serves as the foundation for the discussion on whose choice it was in the believer's relationship with God.Acts 9:15: "Go. This man is my chosen instrument to Proclaim my name to the Gentiles and their kings and to the people of Israel today." This verse is used to illustrate that it was God who chose and appointed the Apostle Paul for his specific mission.Hebrews 13:8: "For Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.", This verse reinforces the idea that while God may customize His message to individual believers, the fundamental truths of faith and the nature of Christ never change.Proverbs 9:10: "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding." This is cited in the context of how our understanding and perception of God influence how we respond to His calling.Psalm 119:97: "Or how I love your law. I meditate on it all day long." This verse is associated with having a submissive heart and an attitude of humility to receive God's word with "joyful obedience".Additionally, the source includes a passage from the life of the Apostle Paul (referencing Philippians 1:20) stating: "I eagerly expect and hope that I will be in no way ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that now as always, Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death."

    49th Anniversary

    Nita Edwards of Alive Global shares a powerful testimony titled "Great is His Faithfulness 49 Years Later," marking the anniversary of her miraculous healing. She recounts how, 49 years ago, she was a confirmed quadriplegic who could not breathe, eat, speak, or move independently, with 11 medical specialists offering no hope for her survival. On February 11th at 3:30 p.m., she describes a personal visitation from Jesus, the "great physician," who instantly healed her in the presence of seven witnesses. Beyond the initial miracle, Edwards emphasizes that God continues to energize and renew her decades later. She explains that while she has physically aged, her spirit remains vibrant and focused because of her commitment to daily communion with God through prayer and Bible study. She encourages listeners to establish a consistent habit of seeking God to remain "clean vessels for the master's use" and offers support through Alive Global’s prayer ministry Key Verses: 2 Corinthians 4:16: "Therefore, we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day."

    The Cry of Your Heart: Seeing Through the Eyes of Jesus

    The message celebrates the 49th anniversary of Alive Global and sets a spiritual direction for a new year of ministry. It addresses two fundamental questions: how to begin this new year of service and where to focus one's attention. The speaker emphasizes that the primary goal must be growing in the knowledge of God, as an intimate relationship with Him serves as the catalyst for divine wisdom and insight. To illustrate the necessity of spiritual clarity, the speaker shares a personal story about a suspected detached retina, explaining that even perfect physical vision is useless without light. Similarly, the message calls for the "eyes of [our] understanding being illumined" so that believers can view a broken, needy world through the eyes of Jesus. The ultimate goal is to serve with conviction, courage, and compassion, drawing from God's glorious power to exhibit His purposeKey Verses in the Message • Ephesians 1:17-18: "I pray the glorious father would give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him so you may know the hope of his calling." • Ephesians 1:9: Referenced regarding the divine wisdom and insight needed to understand God's heart for our lives and service. • Ephesians 1:15: Mentioned in the context of knowing the Savior more intimately and being inspired by His love. • Ephesians 1:19: Highlighted as the source of "glorious power," which is the inheritance of the saints to see God’s purpose fulfilled.

    Go in Confidence: The Promise of Exodus 4:12

    The message focuses on the theme of trusting God’s guidance when called to a task that feels beyond one's personal abilities. It opens with God's command to Moses in Exodus 4:12, promising to help him speak and teach him what to say. The speaker then shares a personal story of being asked to pray for a terminally ill Buddhist woman who spoke a language the speaker had not used in over a decade. Despite feeling linguistically inadequate and nervous, the speaker discovered that the Holy Spirit was already at work; the woman understood the message clearly and chose to accept Jesus. The speaker concludes that God does not require us to be eloquent or fluent, but rather to have a boldness to obey and a willing heart to be a channel for His use, just as Moses eventually did after his own initial hesitation. Key Verses in the Message • Exodus 4:12: "Go in confidence. Now go. I will help you speak and will teach you what to say." • Exodus 3:7-11: This passage is referenced to highlight Moses' hesitation and his feeling that he was not eloquent enough to speak to Pharaoh on behalf of the Israelites.
