Testimony - Exhortation Episodes

Category: Biblical - Exhortation In 1984, a death would occur, the death of my father. As God used a single prayer of faithful Hannah to give her a son, give a prophet to Israel (Samuel), and fulfill His promise to judge the unrighteous priests troubling all of Israel, He answered my prayer to lead me back to Phoenix to finish school, encourage my heart, refresh my vision of my dad, and lay the groundwork for His salvation, all through what looked to me to be a fall. Ponder your life carefully...

Category: Biblical Our expectation for this episode is twofold: Malachi 3:6 6 “For I, the LORD, do not change; therefore you, O sons of Jacob, are not consumed. Hebrews 13:8 Christ is the same yesterday and today, yes and forever. He takes His word seriously, Luke 6:26 27 “But I say to you who hear, love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. So what? He listens to our prayers, and amid His answers, He orchestrates th...

Growing - Encouragement (A republished episode in preparation for parts 2-7 in the same series.) God’s abundant life is learned through prayer.

How powerfu...

Disclaimer: In this podcast, I addressed two things in the beginning. We are getting conflicting information during this ronna season. We must then, take in information, pray for discernment, and act in faith. The desire for justice is a godly desire. As Christians, we can know without a doubt, and rest in the knowledge: No one ever truly escapes justice. We are called to wait on God, and let Him in His perfect wrath meat out punishment. You can avoid all that if you like by fast-forwarding...

Lord Jesus Christ, we bow before Thee to confess and pray, show us wonderful things from Thy law, and show us the truth of Thy Word, that Thou art moving in providence even in this day as Thou hast always done, let our hearts take courage, and listen to Thy testimony through Thy word: Ephesians 1:18 18 I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, 19and what is the ...
