Hope for Today

The Holy Spirit is part of the Trinity -- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Every believer receives the gift of the Holy Spirit upon conversion. God is not seen but experienced. Jesus Christ is pictured during His ministry and hanging on Calvary's cross. On the other hand, the Holy Spirit is not pictured but is described with symbols such as a dove; a tongue of fire (flame); the wind; a lamp; rays of light; a cloud; water; and oil are just a few examples. He is a person, not it, and indwells and fills believers so we can walk in His power and guidance.

John 3:5-6 says, 5 "Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit."

There is a truth that sets us free --one truth, Jesus the Christ that gives strength to all the other truths. And since the key truth is a person, not a thing, our freedom is found in our relationship with the person, Jesus the Son of God. Our victory is in Him!  It doesn't matter what angle or approach Satan uses, Christ will already be there. The enemy has been defeated. Christ wins the spiritual battles and He has won the war.   Romans 8:37-38 (NIV) says, "No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."    Join us Tuesday, August 23, 2022, at 3:30 PM, PDT, as we summarize Satan's ploy and how to respond with full armor. Call to speak to the host (646) 668-2946 Hope4Today is an outreach program of Yield to the King Ministry.

It's been a while since I've been on the air. Today's episode will be a brief check-in, an update, and a time of prayer: Simply put, I am praising God because I've been blessed with another day to serve Him and others. Psalm 118:24 (NKJV) says, "This is the day that the Lord has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it."  That's what I aim to do today and I hope you will too!  Join us Tuesday, August 9, 2022, at 3:30 PM, PDT, as I share what was happening during the month of July.  Call to speak to the host (646) 668-2946 Hope4Today is an outreach program of Yield to the King Ministry.

Each day here on earth is a gift from God. At the start of our day, we should thank God because He gave us another day to serve Him and others. How do we view time? Is it limited? Do we regret losing it? Do we throw it away? Do we chase it? Do we seize the moment?  Tomorrow is a blessing. Yesterday should bear lessons learned. Our perspective concerning yesterday and tomorrow should elicit trust in God because He is in control of time. Jesus said in Matthew 6:34, Don't worry about tomorrow, because tomorrow will have its own worries. Each day has enough trouble of its own. (NIV) Remember there are two days you should never worry about: yesterday and tomorrow. You can't live in the past. You can't live in the future. Our time is here and now, at the moment. Join us Tuesday, June 28, 2022, at 3:30 PM, PDT, as we consider what it does and does not mean to live in the moment. Call in to speak with the host (646) 668-2946.

There are so many roads to take on our journey with Jesus Christ. Sometimes we second guess where to turn or in which direction to go when we reach a fork in the road or a dead end. Have you ever asked why the detours in life? The answers are embedded in God's purpose and a plan for our lives. When we patiently wait on Him for guidance and direction, we'll find the strength to keep pressing on with our eyes on the prize!   Philippians 3:13-14 (NASB), says, "Brothers and sisters, I do not regard myself as having taken hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus."  When we look back over our lives, we can see the divine interruptions, divine interventions, and providential care of Almighty God.

Life isn't easy, but there is always hope!  Choose a word that best describes your life --is it triumphant or defeated? No matter what we are faced with, life is worth rejoicing. We can be victorious, successful, and achieve what God has for us. We are measured by God’s standard, not the world’s standard. II Corinthians 2:14 (NASB) says, "But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us reveals the fragrance of the knowledge of Him in every place."  Verse 15 goes on to say, "We are a fragrance of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing."  God does more than just keep an eye on us, He is the overseer of our life from beginning to end. Join us Friday, April 29, 2022, at 3:30 PM, PT,with special guests Mark A.Smith and Maya J. Smith. Mr. Smith, a recording producer, musician, and composer founded Triumphed Recording Company, an independent gospel and inspirational record label based in Seattle, Washington, United States. This couple's family-owned business is a music ministry.  Call in to speak with the host (646) 668-2946 Hope4Today is an outreach program of Yield to the King Ministry.

Jehovah Rapha means the Lord heals physical and emotional needs. We often pray for physical healing, but our healing should be holistic, including physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. Jesus did it all during His public ministry.  And, the Holy Spirit was at work in and through the apostles, performing His ministry of glorifying Jesus Christ.  Peter was told to heal a lame man lying at the Beautiful Gate. Acts 3:6 (NIV) says, "Then Peter said, “Silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.” The beggar was completely healed.   Join us Tuesday, April 19, at 3:30 PM, PT, as we discuss the power of the name of Jesus, with our guest Dr. Michael Ley, DMin, ThD. Dr. Ley retired from the King County Department of Corrections, after serving 35-plus years as an Officer. He is a well-known teacher at the Bishop A. L. Hardy Academy of Theology, and founder and president of New Beginnings Bible Ministries. Within our local Christian communities, Dr. Ley is recognized as the epitome of a servant-leader. Call in to speak with the host (646) 668-2946 Hope4Today is an outreach program of Yield to the King Ministry.

Right now, Christians are observing the Lenten Season. Lent is a 40-day season of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving that begins on Ash Wednesday and ends at sundown on Holy Thursday. The following day is Good Friday and then in celebration of our risen Savior, we rejoice on Resurrection Day Sunday, proclaiming “He is Risen, He is Risen Indeed!” Acts 17:30-31 (NASB) says,30 "So having overlooked the times of ignorance, God is now proclaiming to mankind that all people everywhere are to repent, 31 because He has set a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness through a Man whom He has appointed, having furnished proof to all people by raising Him from the dead.” Join us Tuesday, April 5, 2022, at 3:30 PM, PT, as I reflect on the Lenten Season while traveling in an Islamic country.

A surrendered life to Christ is powerful! In it, we have all the freedoms that we need. God wants us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and live sensibly, righteously and godly in this present age. Jesus Christ redeemed us and has clothed us in His righteousness. We are saved from the wages of sin --every lawless deed and all impurities so that we can stand worthy before God. Luke 9:23 (NKJV) says, "Then He said to them all, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me."To deny self requires a surrendered life. We cannot straddle the fence and live for ourselves and Christ! Join us Tuesday, March 8, 2022, at 3:30 PM, PT,as we explore what it means to surrender your life to Christ.

The Holy Spirit gives us the power we need to reject those old sinful desires. The fruit of the Spirit will produce Christlike characteristics. When we are led by the Spirit and walk with the Spirit, we can say “no” to sin and accept the “way out” God faithfully provides. We must follow the Holy Spirit’s leading. As we give the Spirit more control of our lives, He begins to do in and through us what only He can do. He shapes us and grows us to produce much fruit for God's kingdom.  Galatians 5:22-23 (NIV) says, “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.” Join us Tuesday, February 8, 2022, at 3:30 PM, PT,as we explore the fruit of the Spirit and why the fruit manifests in the lives of Christians.
