78:4

Feel like you don't have a prayer? You're in luck. You're at your strongest when prayer is all you have. And your prayers today can influence generations to come.

Life is cruel and the world is intolerably cruel. There comes a point where many of us would like to quit - our jobs, our responsibilities, our marriages. But for the Christian, there are significant benefits to staying in the race.

Your back is up against the wall. Everything is against you. And you don't have a prayer - at least that's the way it seems. In today's episode, we'll hear from three people who have learned firsthand that nothing can stop God from doing what He wants to do.

When God Says No

"When God says "no" to us He never stops loving. His "no" is never cruel or petty or haphazard. His good purposes cannot be thwarted."

Knowing God Better

"I have always believed in God, but I had no idea I could know God like this. Thank you!!"

Hidden Forces in Fasting

"Be on guard! What challenges are you facing currently? What do you want to see God do about them? What is distracting you from dealing with them? It may be that you are going through a hard time or want to be ready when you do. Either way, regular prayer and fasting are two things you can do to help."

How is it some people seem to have incredible lives of joy and purpose, and God is using them in powerful ways, while other Christians seem to be slouching toward eternal mediocrity? The answer is found in the Holy Spirit. Today, we'll take a look at walking in the Spirit, the key to the dynamic Christian life.

Satisfied?

"Jesus promised that God's Holy Spirit would satisfy the thirst, or deepest longings, of all who believe in Jesus Christ. However, many Christians do not understand the Holy Spirit or how to experience Him in their daily lives."

https://www.cru.org/us/en/train-and-grow/spiritual-growth/satisfied.html

Jesus said he came to give us abundant life, a life to its fullest, better than anything we could ever dream. But is that true of your life? Let's face it; living the Christian life isn't hard. It's impossible. And that's no fun. Our mistake comes when we try to do it on our own. God never intended us to live our lives alone. That's why He gave us His Holy Spirit to guide us, comfort us, correct us, and empower us.

In today's episode, we'll take a look at Spiritual-breathing, the first essential step in living an abundant life.

Season 01 Episode 06 Are you afraid?

If we're honest, we're all afraid of something. For some, it's monsters under the bed and things that go bump in the night. Most of us, though, are fearful of things like failure, of not being able to pay your bills or the death of someone you love. The Bible tells us over and over again not to be afraid, but how do we do that? Today, we'll hear from a crime victim, a battle-tested soldier, and a missionary who all had to learn the secret of courage.
