    Angelology | Open His Eyes

    Season 23: Angelology | #2 – Open His Eyes Scripture: 2 Kings 6:8-23 NEW! Watch us ONLINE! Click here! SHOW NOTES: In today’s lesson, the prophet Elisha is surrounded by the enemy forces, the Aramean army. Fear grips his servant’s heart as he cries out, “What will we do?” Then he sent horses, chariots, and a strong force there. They went by night and surrounded the city. When the servant of the man of God got up and went out early the next morning, an army with horses and chariots had surrounded the city. “Oh no, my lord! What shall we do?” the servant asked. 2 Kings 6:14-15 Doubtless Elisha knew about all this, too, but allowed himself to be trapped so that the Arameans’ subsequent entrapment would bring God glory. Elisha reassured his servant not to fear and explained that their unseen spiritual warriors outnumbered the enemy. In response to Elisha’s prayer, the servant’s eyes were opened to behold an innumerable angelic host standing ready to intervene on Elisha’s behalf. Then Elisha prayed and said, “O Lord, please open his eyes that he may see.” So, the Lord opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw, and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha. 2 Kings 6:17 The core message is that the invisible forces of protection and power on your side are far greater than any visible obstacle before you. It is a reminder to shift your perspective from earthly panic to spiritual peace! HEAD TO HEART: In this lesson from 2 Kings 6, the Lord reminds us of the unseen spiritual realm. Elisha and his servant saw the fiery chariots and realized that God’s supreme power, divine intervention, and safety were all around them, even amid enemy forces. Lord, open our eyes and help us trust in Your divine and holy purpose. SONG: Open the Eyes of My Heart, Lord - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxq_6prPABs&list=RDyxq_6prPABs&start_radio=1

    Angelology | Gods Messengers

    Season 23: Angelology | #1 – God’s Messengers NEW! Watch us ONLINE! Click here! SHOW NOTES: Today, Walk with God begins a new season – Angelology. Angels are God’s messengers. They are created beings, and we are not to worship them. Jesus acknowledged their existence and spoke about them during His earthly ministry. “Do you think I cannot call on my Father, and He will at once put at My disposal more than twelve legions of angels?” Matthew 26:53 Angels are mentioned in 34 books of the Bible, more than 275 times. The most common Hebrew word for “angel” in the Old Testament is מַלְאָךְ (mal'akh). The most common Greek word for “angel” in the New Testament is ἄγγελος (angelos). Angels are supernatural, celestial beings who serve as intermediaries between the divine and humanity. They act as messengers, guardians, and warriors of God’s will.

    Abide | Reciprocal Abiding

    Season 22: Abide | #8 – Reciprocal Abiding SHOW NOTES: NEW! Watch us ONLINE! Click here! God invites believers to “Abide” by immersing ourselves in His Word. It is His desire for each of us to walk in the same way Jesus walked. We are Christ’s followers, and these words apply to each of us. If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love is perfected in us. 1 John 4:12 When we abide in God’s Word, we experience guidance by the Spirit. The Spirit’s job is to take the truths about Jesus and make them known to us. He is our helper, teacher, and constant companion. By this we know that we abide in Him and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit. And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent His Son to be the Savior of the world. 1 John 4:13-14 This reciprocal abiding – we abide in Him, God in us – is the fullest expression of fellowship with God. This is only possible through the gift of His Spirit, by whom the relationship with the Father and the Son is sealed eternally. When we abide in God’s Word, we deepen our relationship with Him. We abide in Him! And He abides in us. SONG: Abide - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BA-Wi4fdcVE&list=RDBA-Wi4fdcVE&start_radio=1

    Abide | Imitate Jesus

    Season 22: Abide | #7 – Imitate Jesus SHOW NOTES: In this season of Walk with God, we are looking at Jesus’ command for His disciples to “Abide in Me.” John 15 records Jesus’ words to the disciples in the Upper Room before His betrayal in the Garden of Gethsemane. These words apply to our lives today. We are Christ’s followers, and this instruction applies to each of us. NEW! Watch us ONLINE! Click here! But whoever keeps His word, in Him truly the love of God is perfected. By this we may know that we are in Him: whoever says he abides in Him ought to walk in the same way in which He walked. 1 John 2:5-6 (ESV) This is God’s intention for believers that they … · “Abide” by immersing yourself in His Word · “Allow” Jesus’ words to saturate your mind Returning to our key passage in John 15, we find clear instruction in Jesus’ words. “If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.” John 15:7 “If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love.” John 15:10 “You are my friends if you do what I command you.” John 15:14 Are you beginning to see that you can’t do this on your own? We are utterly dependent on God to live the Christian life because it isn’t merely holding to a subjective set of moral principles. Jesus set the example for us and invites us to “Abide in Me.” SONG: More Like Jesus - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g807Remhvtc&list=RDg807Remhvtc&start_radio=1

    Abide | My Soul Waits

    Season 22: Abide | #6 – My Soul Waits Scripture: Psalm 62:1-7 NEW! Watch us ONLINE! Click here! Show Notes: The vineyard has seasons. After flowers appear on the branches, grapes will be ready for harvest 150-180 days later. What happens to the vine and branches during the rest of the year? Jesus gave His disciples the command, “Abide in Me,” in the Upper Room before His betrayal in the Garden of Gethsemane. How do we abide in the True Vine? For God alone my soul waits in silence; from Him comes my salvation. He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress. I shall not be greatly shaken. Psalm 62:1–2 True peace belongs to those who abide in quietness of heart before Him. Silence is not emptiness — it is an invitation. When we quiet the noise around and within us, we create space for God to speak. Most of us are deeply uncomfortable with silence. We fill every gap with sound, activity, or distraction. Yet it is often in silence that God does His deepest work in us. Waiting is also an act of faith. When we wait on the Lord, we say with our actions what David said with his words: I trust that You are at work, even when I cannot see it. I believe Your timing is best for me. Waiting is not doing nothing — it is choosing to hold still long enough for God to move. It is resisting the temptation to run ahead of Him or to manufacture our own solutions. It is one of the most difficult yet holy things a believer can do. Truly, He is my rock and my salvation. He is my fortress. I will not be shaken. Psalm 62:6 THE PRACTICE OF ABIDING – It is the daily practice of ABIDING in the VINE — in prayer, the Word, worship, and quiet dependence. This is a deliberate, intentional posture. When we set the Lord before us (Psalm 16:8), we find He is already there, waiting for us to come in silence. From that place of nearness, we can face whatever comes with courage and calm, not because our circumstances are easy, but because our God is faithful. “I will not be shaken” is not wishful thinking — it is a declaration rooted in the character of the One who holds us.

    Abide | Wait in Silence

    Scripture: Psalm 62:1-7 SHOW NOTES: For encouragement on your spiritual journey, we invite you to visit our ministry website, Discover God's Truth, where you can access additional resources to enrich your Walk with God. NEW! Watch us ONLINE! Click here! The vineyard goes through many seasons. The fruit—grapes—is harvested 150-180 days after flowering. When we consider Jesus’ command, “Abide in Me,” we should reflect on the seasons and how to abide. For God alone my soul waits in silence; from Him comes my salvation. He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be greatly shaken. Psalm 62:1-2 The psalmist finds his deepest consolation in one conviction: God is enough. True peace belongs to those who abide in quietness of heart before Him. Resting in God requires waiting — patience is essential. God is both the strength of His people (“rock” and “fortress”) and the source of their salvation. For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence, for my hope comes from Him. He alone is my rock and my salvation, my stronghold; I will not be shaken. My salvation and glory depend on God, my strong rock. My refuge is in God. Psalm 62:5-7 Notice that David doesn’t say, “Look to the Lord first, and then see what else might help.” He says, "Trust (wait) in God alone.” Turn away from every other substitute and turn toward the one who is truly sufficient. We do not deny our pain or pretend our circumstances are easy. Rather, we choose, in the middle of the difficulty, to direct our souls toward God rather than away from Him. This is not passive resignation — it is active and intentional surrender. Abiding is an active choice. Song: Rest - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ur78_jDX7P4&list=RDUr78_jDX7P4&start_radio=1

    Abide | You Are My Friends

    Season 22: Abide | #4 – You Are My Friends Scripture: John 15:12-17 SHOW NOTES: For encouragement on your spiritual journey, we invite you to visit our ministry website, Discover God's Truth, where you can access additional resources to enrich your Walk with God. NEW! Watch us ONLINE! Click here! Jesus said, “I am the True Vine … Abide in me” (John 15:1, 4). We may read these verses in John’s Gospel too quickly and miss the depth of His words. He is speaking to His closest disciples just hours before His betrayal in the Garden of Gethsemane. Jesus told them, "The Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love.” Now, Jesus continues His instruction with the following command. This is my commandment: Love each other in the same way I have loved you. There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. You are my friends if you do what I command. John 15:12-14 Jesus defines friendship in terms of sacrifice and obedience (verse 14). Christian friendship involves a commitment to follow the Lord’s teachings and become partners in His work. Jesus tells His friends that He chose them and that He has appointed them to produce fruit. These things I command you, so that you will love one another.

    Abide | Abide in Love

    Season 22: Abide | #3 – Abide in Love Scripture: John 15:5-11 SHOW NOTES: For encouragement on your spiritual journey, we invite you to visit our ministry website, Discover God's Truth, where you can access additional resources to enrich your Walk with God. NEW! Watch us ONLINE! Click here! ABIDE – In this podcast season, our goal is to examine what the Bible teaches about maintaining a daily, dependent connection with Jesus so we can bear spiritual fruit rather than relying on self-effort. Jesus states positively in John 15:5 – “I am the Vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.” Abiding is an active, not a passive, process. The follower of Christ is to bear fruit. When the branch remains in union with the vine … with Christ in me … the life of Christ nourishes the disciple, and fruit will be inevitable. As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his love. John 15:9-10 Jesus is loved by His Heavenly Father. He loves each of us and wants us to abide in His love. Jesus’ example is that He followed the Father’s commandments. So, we are to live according to the commandments. Love unites the disciples to Christ, as branches are united to a vine. That is why Jesus commands us to “Abide in my love.” Song: Deep Love of Jesus – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vaySq5OBayY&list=RDvaySq5OBayY&start_radio=1
