Ep. 321 - Hope For Our Soul

MINISTRY MOMENT
Do you feel discouraged or weighed down by anything today? Even if it is just in one situation, take some time to pray over that area and invite God to bring His hope into that area. Like this Psalmist does, be honest with God about how you are feeling and any confusion you are facing. Even when you don’t know why you are feeling down, you can come to God.

PRAYER POINT
"God, thank You that You are with me even in the times when I feel discouraged and beat down. Help me to hope in You in the midst of tough seasons and praise You even when I am struggling with a heavy spirit."

GOING DEEPER
Read and study Psalm 42.

WALK IT OUT
Anytime you are feeling discouraged or down during the day, take some time to remember a hope you have in God related to that area of discouragement. Then, invite God to speak into that area.

SHARE WITH OTHERS
Ask God to open your heart to people who are heavy and discouraged. Take the time to listen to what is weighing down others and then ask them if you can pray with them for God to help them find hope in the midst of their situation.

Ep. 320 - Returning Home

MINISTRY MOMENT
We may live in this world, but we shouldn’t live for this world. We live for a greater Kingdom and for a greater King who sits on the throne! He has his arms open wide for His children to return to Him. Make the choice today to live for Him.

PRAYER POINT
"Father, thank You for extending Your arms to me when I fall astray. I recognize my sin and ask for repentance. You are a good and gracious Father who cares for me deeply. Help me to say no to worldly temptations and yes to the things You call me to. In Jesus’ name, Amen."

GOING DEEPER
Read and study Luke 15:11-32. (The Parable of the Prodigal Son)

WALK IT OUT
Our God is gracious and good and is waiting for His people to return to Him. Don’t hesitate and say yes to God if you never have before. Like scripture says, the angels rejoice when even ONE person comes home to God!

SHARE WITH OTHERS
If you have had a prodigal son moment, find someone to tell! God didn’t transform your life, just to keep your story hidden. Your testimony is powerful.

Ep. 319 - Bitter or Better

MINISTRY MOMENT
Is there something that has caused you to feel bitter or hardened toward God? Instead of leaning away from Him, would you be willing to lean into Him?

PRAYER POINT
“Dear God, though I may feel like distancing myself from You at times, help me come to You as a source of comfort so that I may be made stronger. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”

GOING DEEPER
Read and meditate on Romans 8:28.

WALK IT OUT
It’s a decision. We have to trust that God has plans to prosper us and not to harm us - that He is trustworthy. Hardship has a way of presenting opportunities for growth in our character and faith if we walk with God through the hardship instead of walking away from Him.

SHARE WITH OTHERS
While being sensitive and considerate to somebody’s hardship, it would be life-giving for someone if we are to encourage them that “in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.” (Romans 8:28)

Ep. 318 - Fear's Distortion

MINISTRY MOMENT
When you encounter hardships or stressful situations, do you find it easy for fear to distort your reasoning and response?

PRAYER POINT
“Father, thank You that YOU have an amazing plan and purpose for my life. Help me realize that You have not given me a spirit of fear! I can have strength and wisdom to respond to hard situations in my life. Help me see these hardships the way that You see them. Thank You for leading me and guiding me. In Your name, I pray, Amen!”

GOING DEEPER
Read and study Deuteronomy 1:19-45 and 2 Timothy 1:7.

WALK IT OUT
The next time that you encounter a fearful situation, remind yourself of how Joshua and Caleb responded to the giants and armies they saw in the Promised Land. Ask God for that kind of faith - not the fear of the other ten Israelite spies.

SHARE WITH OTHERS
If you see a close friend or family member who is struggling with fear, worry, or doubt in a hard situation, remind them and encourage them with these Biblical truths. It’s good for all of us to be reminded that each day we can choose faith over fear!

Ep. 317 - Going the Distance

MINISTRY MOMENT
God’s deepest desire is not to have anyone perish, but for everyone to come to repentance and receive eternal life. He’s willing to go the distance, and will even chase down the ones who try to run from Him. But ultimately, it will be our choice if we choose to reciprocate this love.

PRAYER POINT
"Father, thank You for loving me enough to chase me down even when I run away. Thank You for going the distance for me. Help follow You, help me serve You, and help me love You with all my heart. In Jesus’ name Amen."

GOING DEEPER
What area of your spiritual life is God calling you to go the distance?

WALK IT OUT
Today, make a commitment, and predetermine to have a fresh relationship with God. Go the distance!

SHARE WITH OTHERS
Look for the opportunity to share what Jesus revealed to you today.

Ep. 316 - Such a Time as This

MINISTRY MOMENT
God has a purpose and plan for every one of His beloved children. He does not promise life on earth to be easy. But if you have faith in His plans, His provision and protection will be with you every step of the way.

PRAYER POINT
“Heavenly Father, thank You for the plans You have for me. Guide me down Your straight path. Fill me with faith and courage like Queen Esther. I know You will not lead me astray, but towards the purpose You have for me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”

GOING DEEPER
Read and study the book of Esther, Psalm 46:10 and Philippians 4:13.

WALK IT OUT
Stay strong in your faith. Know that God has a plan for you. In moments of uncertainty, be still and know that God is with you and will not forsake you. Ask yourself, “Has God placed me here for such a time as this?” Read His word for strength and encouragement. Spend time in prayer, lift up your worries and praises to Him.

SHARE WITH OTHERS
Share the story of Queen Esther with others. Encourage them to put their faith in God and the plans He has for them. Point out moments where God has placed them here for such a time as this.

Ep. 315 - Return, Restore & Revive

MINISTRY MOMENT
Have you been feeling the weight, the weariness, the wandering in your soul? Have you felt disconnected from God, from others, from what God has called you to do? Take time to meditate on this Hebrew word - "Shuwb." In what ways do you need a restoration, a revival in your spirit for the season you are walking through?

PRAYER POINT
“God I seek after You. Your heart, Your ways, and Your words. I trust that You are speaking a better word over my life. Would You come and restore and revive my soul, that I might walk forward in the plans and purposes you’ve called me to. In Jesus’ name, Amen”

GOING DEEPER
Read and study Psalm 23 and Psalm 19.

WALK IT OUT
Find more Scriptural uses of the word "Shuwb" in the Bible and be encouraged about the circumstances surrounding that word and it’s meaning. Take note of the context - what was life like before and after God restored, revived, and returned them? How does that apply to your situations?

SHARE WITH OTHERS
If there are others around you (family, friends, coworkers) who you’ve noticed have been feeling down, weak, or upset about their circumstances - encourage them that there is a God who can and WILL bring restoration and revival into their life!

Ep. 314 - Fear + Love

MINISTRY MOMENT
Fear is a horrible master to serve. If you’re feeling fearful right now, ask yourself what is at the root of it all. Even when we’re wrong, and we’ve made mistakes, Scripture says that the Lord’s kindness leads us to repentance (Romans 2:4). You can trust Him.

PRAYER POINT
"Lord, help me to be motivated by fear of the Lord and not fear of man. Help me to be motivated by Your love, and not the “love” of others, or other things."

GOING DEEPER
Read 1 John 4:18, Proverbs 9:10, Proverbs 29:25, John 3:16-17, Hebrews 12:2, and Romans 2:4.

WALK IT OUT
We all get anxious, insecure or fearful sometimes. When you find yourself in that state you have to stop and ask yourself how you got there. What is driving your decisions? Fear or love?

SHARE WITH OTHERS
Next time you’re having a conversation with someone who’s walk with Christ you admire - ask them what they find themselves to be most motivated by - fear or love?

PRAYER POINT

When Jesus came to earth, he was not concerned with religious activity, instead his primary concern was loving God and loving people. Can we say the same for our own life?

GOING DEEPER
What are some ways that you can begin to love God and love others better? Remember God’s definition of love: 1 Corinthians 13:4-8.

Ep. 309 - Benefit of the Doubt

Share testimonies of God’s faithfulness. It’s so important. If you have a friend “up against the ropes” share your own testimonies of God’s faithfulness in your own life. Scripture says we will overcome by the blood of the lamb and the word of our testimony. Testimonies are so incredibly powerful!

Ep. 308 - Holiness & Grace - Part II

PRAYER POINT
"Father, thank You that you have made me holy in Your Sight. Thank You for Your grace that empowers me to live holy in my thoughts, words, actions and choices.
