This is episode 78 where we talk about how The world - those we know and deal with on a daily basis - is continually trying to conform us to its image. The word conform means "to be similar in form or character; to behave in accordance with prevailing modes or customs."

3 John 1:11 says "Beloved, do not imitate evil but imitate good. Whoever does good is from God; whoever does evil has not seen God."

Prayer: Holy Spirit, keep me from falling into the trap of conforming to the world's mold. Help me to imitate good and live like Christ. Please guide myself and anyone listening right now wherever you need us to go. We love you with everything we have Lord, Amen!

This is episode 77 where we talk about how many marriages would be saved from divorce if husbands and wives would just be willing to show love by serving one another. It seems that everyone today wants to be "free" and Jesus has indeed set us free. But He never intended for us to use that freedom selfishly. He wants us to serve our spouses in love.
 
Colossians 3:18-19 says "Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives, and do not be harsh with them.

Prayer: God, I don't want to be selfish in my marriage. Help me to serve my spouse like You want me too, loving them with more than just words. Please guide myself and anyone listening right now wherever you need us to go. We love you with everything we have Lord, Amen!

This is episode 76 where we talk about how you need to speak good things about yourself (as private confessions) in line with what the Word says about you. For example: "I am the righteousness of God in Christ. I am made acceptable in the Beloved. God created me and formed me with His own hands, and God doesn't make mistakes."

Matthew 12:37 says "for by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”

Prayer: God, I'm done with speaking negative things about myself. I declare the truth that You love me and accept me. I can be all that You created me to be. Please guide myself and anyone listening right now wherever you need us to go. We love you with everything we have Lord, Amen!

This is episode 75 where we talk about how The Bible is full of hope-filled promises for you and me. We have access to God's presence. He wants to heal us of our diseases. He will supply all our needs. There are so many more, too many to count! That's why it's so sad when Christians miss out on God's promises due to lack of faith.
 
Romans 5:2 says 'Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God.'

Prayer: God, I expect and rejoice in Your promises for me. I believe that You can bring to pass everything that I'm promised in Your Word. Please guide myself and anyone listening right now wherever you need us to go. We love you with everything we have Lord, Amen!

This is episode 74 where we talk why is it that we find ourselves thinking, "Nothing will ever change... I'm always going to be like this... My situation will never change... He'll never change... She'll never change... I'm never going to be as good as so-and-so?" The only thing that can never change is God. Everything else can change.
 
Malachi 3:6 says “For I the Lord do not change; therefore you, O children of Jacob, are not consumed."

Prayer: God, sometimes I feel like my situations will never change, but I know that You can change them. I choose to receive Your joy and I trust You to change my life. Please guide myself and anyone listening right now wherever you need us to go. We love you with everything we have Lord, Amen!

This is episode 73 where we talk about how we're going to have adverse feelings, or God wouldn't have needed to provide the fruit of self-control. Just being tempted to do something is not sin. It's when you don't resist the temptation and do it anyway that it becomes sin. In the same way, it's not necessarily wrong to be angry, but it can lead to very sinful actions.
 
Ephesians 4:26 tells us, "Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, and give no opportunity to the devil."

Prayer: God, help me to deal with anger in the ways You intended without sinning. I give You control over my anger and trust You to work all things out for my good. Please guide myself and anyone listening right now wherever you need us to go. We love you with everything we have Lord, Amen!

This is episode 72 where we talk about how as Christians, God places compassion within each one of us, but it's up to us to decide whether we close or open our heart to receive it. I've found that one thing that really keeps my heart of compassion open is to seriously think about the needs that are in the world today.

John 3:17-18 says "But if anyone has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God’s love abide in him? 18Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth."

Prayer: God, I don't want to live selfishly oblivious to the needs of others. I open my heart to receive Your compassion so that I can help others. Please guide myself and anyone listening right now wherever you need us to go. We love you with everything we have Lord, Amen!

This is episode 71 where we talk about how since God didn't create us to live in bondage of any kind, we can experience liberty - freedom to enjoy all that God has given us in Christ. He has given us life, and our goal should be to enjoy it.

John 8:36 says "So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed."

Prayer: God, I find my freedom in You. I choose to take action for my freedom by following the leading of the Holy Spirit in my life. Please guide myself and anyone listening right now wherever you need us to go. We love you with everything we have Lord, Amen!

This is episode 70 where we talk about how all of us go through difficult times in our lives, and like a ship in a storm, we need help to remain steady. A ship has an anchor to help it hold steady, and the Bible says that the anchor of our soul is hope.

Hebrews 6:19 says "We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul, a hope that enters into the inner place behind the curtain,"

Prayer: God, I put my hope in You. My expectation for the great things You're going to do in my life is my anchor in trying times. Please guide myself and anyone listening right now wherever you need us to go. We love you with everything we have Lord, Amen!

This is episode 69 where we talk about how God gives His children big dreams to pursue in life. In order for those dreams to be fulfilled, we must spend time in training, cooperating with God in a process of personal development. This process includes time, determination and hard work.

Proverbs 6:6-8 says "Go to the ant, O sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise. Without having any chief, officer, or ruler, she prepares her bread in summer and gathers her food in harvest."

Prayer: Lord, I want to be all You created me to be and fulfill the dreams You've put in my heart. Help me to stay focused on You and put in the time, determination and hard work necessary to grow in Christ and live out the plans You have for me. Please guide myself and anyone listening right now wherever you need us to go. We love you with everything we have Lord, Amen!
