Have you ever poured out your heart, almost begging God to solve a problem, but it doesn’t feel like your prayer is ever answered? You wonder if there’s a better way to pray you don’t know about. T

260 – Is it possible for you to bless people 100 years from now?
Have you ever wondered what impact your life might have on future generations? Will people remember you 100 or 200 years from now or will your life be forgotten by the world in general?
You just might have more influence on the future than you can imagine. Think of folks who lived hundreds of years ago who are a blessing to you: maybe an author or an artist, or some historical figure.
And of course, think of all the people in the Bible, who lived thousands of years ago, but their lives, and the lessons they learned, are still a blessing to us today.
If this can be true for them, then it can be true for you and me as well.
What will your spiritual legacy be for future generations? In this week's episode I talk about.
The choices you make today in obedience to God, the way you live your life in following Christ, the humility you express in being guided by the Holy Spirit, will have a lasting influence far into the future, more than you can imagine or will ever know.
Acknowledge this influence is possible. Accept it. And trust God with the spiritual legacy you’re giving to future generations.

259 – What does your church need to learn from Deborah?
Deborah, the Judge and Prophetess in the Old Testament, has a message for you and your church, and it's probably not what you'd expect.
Most Christians don't really know much about Deborah and how she broke the female stereotypes of her day as a Judge, a Prophet, and her role in a military victory.
This week's episode is a conversation with Sandra Richter, who has unlocked the lessons Deborah has for us today. Sandy sheds light on
Sandy says the most important lesson we can learn from Deborah, both individually and as a church, is to work here on earth for God's kingdom. Listen to the episode now to see what she means and how we can do this.

258 – If you had lived 2,000 years ago, would you have been a disciple of Jesus?
Imagine you lived in the time of Jesus and heard him preach. You saw him heal people. Would you decide to follow him? Would you want to be one of his disciples?
Would you have realized he was the Messiah? We would like to think we would, but it's hard to know for sure.
Jesus made some pretty strong demands on those who decided to follow him. Those expectations apply to you and me today.
What does it really mean to be a disciple, or follower, of Jesus?
This week's episode digs into what discipleship is all about and its "requirements"
To truly be disciples of Jesus, we need to have the same love for God and all mankind that Jesus did. And of course, this goes hand in hand with our love for Jesus.
Without this love in our hearts, we’re more like robotic manikins, going through motions but with no real life in them.
With this love, we are the hands and feet of Jesus in the world today.

257– How do you show someone who you really are?
You've probably heard the phrase, “When someone shows you who they really are, believe them.”
I had a friend who used to say that all the time to remind herself that one person in particular she had been associated with in the past were not a good influence on her.
She had been fooled by his attractive personality and the smooth words he spoke. But his actions, the way he actually treated her, were harmful and even abusive.
It took her years to break away from the spell he had on her.
It's important to show people who you really are and not try to fool anyone.
Recently during my prayer time, God said to me: Show Me who you are.
My first response was, “God, You already know me. You already know who and what I am. Why do You need me to show You who I am?”
But God showed me what He was really asking.
In this week's episode, I talk about
When God asks you to show Him who you are, remember you are the salt of the earth, stand forth and let your light shine. The world will see that you belong to God and will see who you are by the way you live your life.

246 – Do you feel lonely at times--or all the time?
Maybe you’ve lost someone you felt close to, or maybe there are lots of people in your life but there’s no one you can connect with, no one on the same wave length enough that you enjoy being in their presence?
Maybe at work or church, everyone is satisfied with the status quo, but you have some new ideas you think would make things better. But no one else feels that way. That's a pretty lonely feeling.
There are lots of reasons people feel lonely.
This is true for people in the Bible too. When they turned to God in desperation, He helped them.
In this week's episode I talk about:
Maybe you're not a lonely person. Then pray for an opportunity to help someone who is. Minister to them. Love them. Let them know you see their value.
Please share this with someone who would enjoy it.

255 – Is it really possible to find true satisfaction in life?
So many people today are looking for satisfaction in getting a new car or a new job, accomplishing their personal and career goals, or maybe it's getting lots of followers on social media. Or whatever!
But the satisfaction that comes from these sorts of things never lasts very long. And then you always want something else.
The only thing that can bring you complete satisfaction, on every level and dimension of your life, is knowing God and your relationship with Him, and then living your life full of God's love.
That's what this week's episode is all about. I talk about
True satisfaction comes when you find your identity and your worth in God as His image and likeness, and then live your life accordingly.

254 – Is it really true that God already knows what you need?
If that's the case, why do we need to ask God for anything? Why doesn't He just give it to us?
Well, sometimes He does, but usually it's important to ask because it reminds us that God is the source of all our blessings and we are not.
The question is: What do you really need?
Sometimes we get what we need mixed up with what we want and we end up praying for the wrong thing.
Based on what Jesus said and did, and knowing that he was giving people what they really needed, what does that tell us about what those needs were?
In this week's episode I go deep into what we really need based on what God sent Jesus to give us. We need:
How does the way God meets a particular need in a Bible story apply to you? Do you see any parallels?
The underlying needs of these folks thousands of years ago are pretty much what you and I need today.
God knows what you need. It may not be what you want or what you think you need. But God knows what you need, what you actually need, better than anyone else.

253 – Is it ever hard for you to surrender to God's will?
How often do you pray for God to give you what you want? And how often do you pray for what God wants?
You'd be surprised how many people actually tell God what they want and try to convince Him to give it to them.
There's a tiny little (actually big) problem with this. Sometimes, what we think we want and pray for is the worst thing for us.
This week' episode is all about surrendering what we want to what God wants for us. I talk about
Does that mean we'll never get what we want?
Well, maybe, if we're asking for the wrong things. But God's will for you is always much better than what you could imagine.
God's ultimate will for you is always worth surrendering to.

251 – Are you sharing your faith in unusual ways?
Have you ever been hesitant sharing your faith with someone who you thought probably wasn’t receptive or that you really didn’t even want to talk to?
What would you do if God told you to go directly to that person and tell them about Jesus and the difference he had made in your life?
Would you just automatically go at God’s command or would you try to explain to God why it might not be such a good idea?
Peter and Cornelius
This is sort of what happened to Peter when the Holy Spirit told him to go with three strangers to meet Cornelius the Roman Centurion.
This week's episode explores
Have you ever felt God calling you to share your faith in an unexpected way, with someone you would never have chosen to talk to? Do you ever feel you wouldn’t be able to do what Peter did? Or do you prayerfully yearn for such an opportunity? Maybe you don’t feel qualified or worthy to do something similar.
Never underestimate how God will use you and the good you will do when you have this desire in your heart. Then you’ll see yourself in this verse from Isaiah,
Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I. Send me!” Isaiah 6:8 NIV
