Sometimes I don't know what to pray, and I can imagine that Jesus disciples felt the same way. Our Father already hear our prayers, spoken and unspoken, because the Holy Spirit intercedes for us.

Sometimes I don't know what to pray, and I can imagine Jesus disciples felt the same way. The prayer Jesus taught his disciples encompasses every prayer that may be prayed.

This episode of the Rising in Christ podcast explores the topic of unity in the Body of Christ and its importance in spiritual growth and protection. Just as God's creatures in nature demonstrate the strength and power of unity, the church must come together as a unified force against the enemy. God has equipped us with all the tools and gifts we need to carry out his mission, but we must fully submit to the authority of Jesus and walk in unity with one another. Let us remember that there is one body and that we must stand united.

Oh Lord, we thank you for being a God of Your word, full of truth and full of life. Lord Jesus, you are the good Shepherd, and we are your flock. You anoint our head with oil, protecting us from all evil. Your words are a lamp to our feet and a light to our path. You prepare a table before us in the presence of our enemies. We shall stand on your word of truth, putting on the whole armor of God. Lord Jesus, give us all we need to complete out mission here on earth. Amen.

The story of Joseph from the book of Genesis teaches us about the importance of those who have been sent ahead of us to pave the way and provide provisions for us. We must remember their suffering and endurance, and stand for justice and defend the oppressed. We should also be humble and trust in God's timing for our own purposes. Jealousy can lead to destructive behavior, as seen with Joseph's brothers and Cain and Abel. The story of Joseph in the Bible is a great example of how God is our deliverer. Joseph's brothers were jealous of him and sold him into slavery, but God was always with him and blessed him. Joseph's brothers ended up benefiting from his suffering, showing that God's plans are always good. We should respect and honor those who came before us and not take credit for their work. The Lord promises to never give our blessings to our enemies and to allow us to eat the fruit of the seeds we’ve planted.

Jesus said to some Jews who believed in him that if they held onto his teachings, they would truly be his disciples and would know the truth, which would set them free. They were resistant to the truth because they were more worried about being educated in the law and holding prestigious positions. However, without the truth, they were slaves to sin. Their truth was from their father the Devil; but the devil is a liar, and his children are the lies. Those who refuse to love the truth are susceptible to powerful delusions. So be lovers of Truth and hate the lie.

In today's episode, I wanted to talk about the importance of seeking truth in our faith and guarding ourselves from false teachings. As believers, we are called to be seekers of truth and to test all teachings against the Word of God. Let us not be divided by superficial differences, but come together as one body in Christ. This passage talks about the importance of unity among believers, regardless of their differences. Jesus prayed for this unity among his followers, and Paul also emphasized the need for it. We should not allow divisions or quarrels to distract us from following Christ and his teachings. Let God be the ultimate truth and do not hold any man above him or his Word.

The Rising in Christ podcast discusses spiritual growth and transformation through faith in Christ. A scripture from Ephesians 5:14 is read, calling for God's people to wake up from the darkness and deception of this world. The enemy, Satan, seeks to devour and deceive people, but believers know the truth and have been awakened from their slumber. The speaker recalls the feeling of waking up from the drunkenness and illusions of this world and being grateful for a second chance to live for Christ.

Proverbs 18:20-21 teaches that the words of our mouth have the power to bring life or death. As believers in Christ, we should choose to speak life and to love and build each other up, rather than engage in gossip or slander. Our words have consequences and are a reflection of our hearts. Let's use the Word of God to speak life to those around us and let our mouths be full of truth and goodness. Carmen presents a podcast called "Rising in Christ."

The speaker, Carmen, has been gone for a couple of months but is now back with a new season of her podcast about spiritual growth and transformation through faith in Christ. She discusses the importance of believers continuing to grow in their faith and understanding that there is only one spiritual church, not multiple denominations. She urges listeners to not listen to anyone teaching the opposite of God's word and to seek the truth from God through reading and studying the Bible. She also emphasizes the importance of not relying on our own understanding. The speaker shares personal observations about different Christian denominations and expresses a desire for all believers in Christ to come together in unity. She uses references from Biblical passages and emphasizes the importance of following Jesus above any human leader or doctrine.
