  • 067 // The Rapture – Tribulation – Pre-Trib, Mid-Trib, Post-Trib or, Pan-Trib
    The Rapture,
    With so many different views on this what is the main point?
    In summary I’ll put it right here at the top.
    The main point is to be encouraged that God will never leave or forsake us, and none , (no-one and no-thing), can ever take us out of His hand. Also, we who are in Christ Jesus will all get a heavenly body one day where there will be no more pain, or sickness. Praise the Lord!
    For more encouragement in hard times, which are coming in various degrees I can share that it may be beneficial to read, “Fox's Book of Martyrs”.
    Ultimately when all is said and done, I myself hope for what is called Pre-tribulation catching up of the church with Christ, but don’t know with completeness how the Lord is going to work this out. So, I stand on the Pan-tribulation thinking of the matter which I share in this episode.
    Here is some explanation of the rest.
    let's talk about the idea of "rapture," a belief that's popular among some Christian groups, mainly in the United States. It's interesting to note that not all Christians see eye to eye on this concept, and there are different ways people think about it. Let's break down what the rapture is all about:
     
    What is the Rapture?: The rapture is usually seen as an event in Christian beliefs about the end times. It's where followers of Christ, both those who have passed away and those who are still living, are believed to be taken up to meet Jesus in the sky.
     
    When Might It Happen?: There's no one answer to this. People have different ideas about when the rapture might take place in relation to other big events that are said to happen at the end of times. Here are the main thoughts:
     
    Pre-Tribulation Rapture: This view says that believers will be taken up before a really tough time of suffering and chaos on Earth begins.
     
    Mid-Tribulation Rapture: According to this idea, the rapture happens halfway through this period of hardship.
     
    Post-Tribulation Rapture: In this scenario, believers are taken up after all the tough times have passed.
     
    Biblical References:
     
    1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 (NIV): This is a go-to verse for talking about the rapture.
    "For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever."
     
    1 Corinthians 15:51-52 (NIV): This is another important part of the Bible that mentions how believers will change when the rapture happens.
    "Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed—in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed."

  • 065 // God Box - Cessationist - Limit-ist - No Thanks - Let Trust in the All-Mighty Instead
    Today’s episode, Some thoughts about Cessationism and how it could become "Limit-ism", another way to say putting God in a box-ism.
     
    Cessationism is a theological doctrine-
     
    - belief that the need for certain spiritual gifts, like prophecy and tongues, ceased once the Scriptures were complete.
     
    - belief that signs, wonders, and miracles were primarily used to authenticate the message of the early apostles and that their frequency diminished after the apostolic age.
     
    - belief that after the foundation of the church was laid by the apostles and prophets that some of the extraordinary gifts they possessed were no longer needed.
     
    - belief that the primary purpose of speaking in tongues was to serve as a sign for unbelievers, and as the gospel spread and the church grew, this sign became less necessary.
     
    The verses below are used to support their beliefs, but I truly believe that they misunderstand/misinterpret and miss the mark by ultimately limiting God and what He still calls the Church to be doing and the equiping He's provided and still wants to provide through the Holy Spirit.
     
    1 Corinthians 13:8-10, Hebrews 2:3-4, Ephesians 2:20, 1 Corinthians 14:22

    I pray that this episode blesses you! Keep growing-on.
     
    Here is a basic outline of this reading:
    Matthew chapter 15
    Mt 15 : 1-9 Christ reproves the Scribes and Pharisees for transgressing God's commandments through their own traditions;
    Mt 15 : 10-20 teaches how that which goes into the mouth does not defile a man.

  • 063 // Who does God want to speak to How about you Your Prayers Can Be Powerful
    Today’s episode is all about encouraging believers in Jesus that God wants to hear your prayers and that they can be POWERFUL!
    Consider the verse Ja 5:16-18
     16 Therefore confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective.
     17 Elijah was a human being with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months.
     18 He prayed again, and the sky gave rain, and the earth brought forth its fruit.
    2 Corinthians 5:21   21 For him who knew no sin he made to be sin on our behalf; so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
     
    Where does your righteousness come from?
    Do you have to be perfect or super holy, or super religious for God to hear your prayers? NO.
     
    I pray that this episode blesses you! Keep growing-on.

    Starting Your Journey of Daily Devotion: A Guide to Bible Reading and Prayer
    Establishing a daily devotion routine with Bible reading and prayer is not just a religious exercise; it's a journey towards spiritual enrichment and personal growth. In this guide, we'll explore practical steps to begin and maintain this fulfilling practice.
    Setting a Specific Time
    Choosing the right time for your devotion is crucial. Whether it’s the quiet of the early morning, a peaceful lunch break, or the calm of the evening, consistency in your routine helps establish a strong habit. This time should be when you're most alert and least likely to be interrupted.
    Creating a Comfortable Space
    Your environment plays a significant role in your devotion. Find a place where you can be undisturbed and comfortable - a cozy chair in your home, a peaceful spot in your garden, or a secluded corner in a park. The key is to have a space that helps you focus and feel at peace.
    Beginning with Prayer
    Starting each session with a prayer sets the tone. Ask for guidance, clarity, and an open heart to receive the wisdom from your readings. This moment of prayer prepares you mentally and spiritually for the session ahead.
    Selecting a Bible Reading Plan
    There's a myriad of Bible reading plans available, ranging from comprehensive yearly plans to focused studies on specific books or themes. Choose one that aligns with your goals and interest. This structure will guide you through the scriptures systematically.
    Using Devotionals
    Devotionals, whether in book form or as an app, offer daily scripture readings accompanied by reflections and prayers. They provide additional context and insights, making the scripture more accessible and relatable.
    Reflection and Journaling
    After reading, take time to reflect on the message. Journaling your thoughts, insights, and questions is a powerful way to deepen your understanding and track your spiritual growth.
    Purposeful Prayer
    Your prayer after reading should be more than a routine; it should be a heartfelt conversation with God. Include praises, confessions, gratitude, and your personal requests. This is your time to connect deeply with God.
    Starting Small
    If you’re new to this practice, start with short sessions, like 10-15 minutes, and gradually extend them. Don’t overwhelm yourself at the beginning. The key is consistency, not length.
    Staying Flexible and Patient
    Some days will be harder than others. If you miss a day, don’t be too hard on yourself. The important thing is to continue and not give up.
    Seeking Fellowship
    Joining a Bible study group or finding a prayer partner can be incredibly supportive. Sharing your experiences with others offers different perspectives and encouragement.
    Conclusion
    Starting a daily devotion is a journey towards a deeper understanding of your faith and a stronger relationship with God. Be patient, stay committed, and enjoy each step of this spiritual journey.
    FAQs
    How long should my daily devotion be? Start with 10-15 minutes and adjust as you become more comfortable.
    What if I can't find a quiet space for my devotion? Try using headphones with calming music or find a time when your surroundings are quieter.
    Can I switch reading plans if one doesn't work for me? Absolutely, the key is to find a plan that resonates with you.
    How do I stay motivated in my daily devotion? Set small goals, celebrate your progress, and remember the reason you started.
    Is it okay to miss a day of devotion? Yes, it's okay. What matters is that you return to your practice when you can.
