APOC Ministry

In part 2 of his series on Faithfulness to God, Dr. Thomas reminds us that God has amazing plans for us utilizing the scripture Jeremiah 29:11. Do our current finances, employment, health, etc. match those plans? Have we been intentionally seeking God regarding HIS plans for us? 

"For I know the plans I have for you" are the first few words of Jeremiah 29:11, a very well-known scripture. In most cases, we interpret it as a promise. However, although it is definitely a promise, God wants us to read, focus, and analyze it in a completely different way. Join Dr. Thomas as he discusses how this scripture can be used as a gauge for our spiritual journey. 

Do you have difficulty following rules or laws? In this episode, Dr. Thomas breaks down the purpose of laws and rules in the life of a follower of Christ. By reflecting on various pivotal biblical characters including the children of Israel and Samson, Dr. Thomas helps us to recognize that rules and laws exist to protect us and create a culture that leads to winning in life.

This is the day the Lord has made! If you listen to the podcast, you hear Dr. Thomas say this each week. In today's episode, Dr. Thomas speaks about anxieties that are related to separation and the peace that we have access to as children of God. Grab a pen and some paper so that you can be equipped with how to trust in God even when you feel alone. 

Sometimes, when God speaks to us, if we process it in the flesh, it can be overwhelming. In this final part of this study about Crisis, Dr. Thomas talks about Jonah's experience and how he allowed the feeling of fear to cause him to run from what God was telling him.  Let's remember Phillipian 4:16 that states that, "I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me!" Don't forget that as you go through life every single day.

In this episode, Dr. Thomas talks about the Crisis that the pandemic has brought on. There is fear, uncertainty, and heartache and many of us want to escape it all. However, as the people of God, we should welcome crisis in our lives because we have The Father, The Son, and The Holy Ghost to bring us through. Crisis in our lives serves various purposes, some quite unlikely. Listen to find out!

Today is a once in a lifetime opportunity. There are those who got yesterday as a gift, but not today, so be grateful for the gift God gave you called life. There is nothing we can do about being born in sin. You shouldn’t be ashamed of being born in sin, but you should be ashamed of the decisions you’re about to make.

In this episode, Dr. Thomas talks about how sin starts with a distraction. Scripture says that each person is tempted when they are lured by their own desires, and when those desires are conceived, it gives birth to sin. We should ask God to clean our hearts from desire. We don’t see the hook, but we still take the bait of desire. Don’t let the devil remove you from your God, from your family, or your surroundings. We all have our own brand of sin. Pray, pray, and pray for your strength against the bait of desire.

It's Part 3 of The Gift! If you haven't already listened to Part 1 and Part 2, go back and listen to them first. In today's lesson, Dr. Thomas reminds us that our gifts will make room for us! Did you know that your gift will make room for you? A lot of times, we are not successful because we are not using our gifts! Additionally, many of us don't even recognize what our gifts are! Listen to this transformational message to learn how to recognize your gift.
