Wave 94

In this session of the Wonderful Words of Life Radio Broadcast, we will be looking into 2 Corinthians Chapter 12, which states, in his own words, Paul's proof of his ministry and his love for the church at Corinth through the visions, revelations and other signs of a truly anointed Apostle of the Lord, and to be willing of himself to "spend and be spent" for them.

In "The Flood," Pastor Jack King delves into the chilling metaphor from Isaiah 59:19: "the enemy comes in like a flood." Drawing parallels to both sudden flash floods and the slow, inexorable rise of water during events like Hurricane Katrina, he reveals the subtle yet destructive nature of the devil's tactics. Pastor King emphasizes that, unlike a sudden disaster, the enemy often works patiently, identifying and exploiting our vulnerabilities—areas where we are prone to sin, temptation, and destructive behavior. These temptations, he explains, can be triggered by seemingly innocuous things: a word, a billboard, a smell, leading to a destructive "brooding" that pulls us away from our spiritual walk.

Key insights from this message include:

The Enemy's Modus Operandi: The devil operates subtly, patiently, and steadily, like a rising flood, targeting our known weaknesses.

Universal Vulnerability: Every individual has vulnerabilities; denying them is self-deception. We are flesh and prone to straying from walking in the Spirit.

The Seduction of Subtlety: Temptation often begins small—a thought, a suggestion—but if entertained, it grows, consuming more time, energy, and focus, eventually taking over.

The Progression of Lust (James 1:15): Unchecked desire is conceived, then grows, leading to sin and spiritual decline.

Loss of Spiritual Power: Just as King Saul lost the Spirit of God due to unaddressed internal struggles and jealousy, allowing the enemy to gain ground can cause our spiritual strength to wane.

The Devil's "Shiny Things": The enemy uses glamour and allure to beguile, particularly targeting young people transitioning into new environments like college or the military.

Our Defense and Victory: The solution is to actively "draw nigh to God" and "resist the devil." This is achieved through:

Being in the Word: The Bible is a source of strength, inspiration, and guidance.

Consistent Prayer: Honest, open communication with God, asking for help to overcome and stand strong.

Exercising Authority in Christ: Knowing that through Jesus, we have power to rebuke the devil, who is chained and ultimately must flee.

Pastor King encourages listeners to take a stand, repent if they've strayed, and re-establish their spiritual foundation, reminding them that through Christ, they are mighty and can pull down strongholds, walking in victory.

In "A Secret of How to Receive and Keep Your Divine Healing - Part 11," Dr. Edith Davis delves deeper into the foundational principles of divine healing and manifestation. She draws a parallel between the physical laws of gravity, thrust, and lift, and the spiritual laws of faith and grace, explaining that these spiritual laws enable believers to "override this accursed earth" and bring heaven to earth. Dr. Davis highlights that Jesus delegated His authority and power to His followers, empowering them to extract divine healing, health, riches, wisdom, and understanding from the spiritual dimension.

Key takeaways from this powerful message include:

The Laws of Faith: Just as there are immutable physical laws, there are spiritual laws. The primary law for believers is the law of faith.

Hearing and Understanding the Word: It's not enough to just hear God's Word; one must actively listen and seek understanding to prevent the enemy from stealing it.

Speaking the Word: Boldly confessing and declaring God's Word, even in the face of adversity or shame, is crucial for manifestation. Dr. Davis shares a powerful testimony of her friend's cancer healing through this principle.

Doing the Word: Faith requires corresponding action. Being a "doer of the Word" and following the Holy Spirit's leading is essential.

Testifying to the Word: Publicly sharing God's goodness and the miracles experienced reinforces faith and encourages others.

Walking in Forgiveness: Unforgiveness is a major block to receiving and retaining divine blessings. Emulating Christ's forgiveness on the cross is vital.

Guarding Your Tongue and Heart: Slander, gossip, and offense are hindrances to healing and blessings. Maintaining a heart free from these keeps the channel open for God's work.

Understanding Fear vs. Faith: Satan operates through fear, while God operates through faith. Fear can open doors for the enemy, as exemplified by the story of Job.

Dr. Davis reinforces these principles through biblical examples like the woman with the issue of blood, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the fiery furnace, and Daniel in the lions' den, demonstrating how they applied the laws of faith to experience miraculous deliverance. This teaching serves as a practical guide for believers seeking to walk in a greater measure of divine healing and operate in the miraculous power of God.

In a candid discussion, Doug Apple and Mike Sharman discuss the complexities and often brutal realities of healthcare costs in the United States. The conversation is sparked by the surprising revelation that tennis superstar Venus Williams, despite her immense wealth, returned to professional tennis partly to secure health insurance. This anecdote serves as a springboard for a deeper exploration of:

The Problem with COBRA: Understanding why continuing employer-provided insurance after leaving a job can lead to thousands of dollars in monthly premiums, even for the wealthy.

Insurance Contract vs. Covenant: A key distinction is drawn between the contractual nature of traditional health insurance and the covenantal, faith-based approach of health sharing ministries like Share Healthcare, where members are committed to bearing one another's financial burdens.

The Hidden World of Facility Fees: A detailed explanation of "facility fees" and other opaque charges that hospitals and clinics add to bills, significantly inflating costs for patients.

Navigating Surprise Charges: Practical insights into identifying and questioning questionable expenses on medical bills, such as charges for surgical kits, medication delivery, or unnecessary specialist consultations.

The Disparity in Medical Pricing: An exposé on how hospitals intentionally inflate retail prices for services, with only self-pay patients typically being charged the full, exorbitant amount, while insurers negotiate much lower rates.

The Affordability of Health Sharing: How health sharing ministries can offer significantly lower monthly costs compared to traditional insurance due to repricing bills, members' willingness to self-pay smaller expenses, and the absence of costly regulatory burdens and unbiblical coverages.

Join Pastor Joseph Davis for the powerful third installment of the "Be Bold, Be Brave, Be Strong" series, "Uncompromised Faith in a Diluted World." In this impactful message, Pastor Davis delves into the critical importance of living a life free from spiritual compromise, drawing profound parallels from key biblical narratives.

In this episode, you will discover:

The Power of Unadulterated Worship: Explore the story of the woman with the alabaster box (Mark 14), whose bold, uninvited act of worship defied religious norms and exposed the hypocrisy of those around her. Learn that true worship doesn't require perfect circumstances or external prompting, but flows from a surrendered heart using whatever it has left.

Embracing the "Unleavened Bread" Lifestyle: Understand the significance of the Passover and the hasty, unleavened bread eaten by the Israelites during their rapid deliverance from Egypt. This "unleavened bread" symbolizes a swift, pure, and uncompromising separation from the ways of the world and a commitment to God's standards, regardless of societal pressures.

Navigating Temptation and Flattery: Learn how the enemy uses flattery (as seen with Adam and Eve, and Jesus in the wilderness) to lead us into compromise. Pastor Davis emphasizes the need to know God's Word deeply ("It is written") as the ultimate defense against seduction.

Standing Against Compromise in High Places: Reflect on the unwavering resolve of Daniel and his friends in Babylon, who refused to compromise their faith, even when offered positions of power and privilege. This segment challenges believers in all spheres of influence to maintain their integrity and refuse to bend to ungodly demands.

The Dangers of Spiritual Dilution: Pastor Davis passionately warns against the church becoming "diluted," like bleach mixed with too much water. He calls for a purification, urging believers to move beyond superficial Christianity and embrace a lifestyle that genuinely preserves and impacts the world, rather than being tainted by it.

This message is a stirring call to authenticity, challenging listeners to examine their own lives for areas of compromise and to cultivate an unyielding devotion to God's truth, standards, and purposes in a world that constantly pressures believers to conform.

In this impactful message, "The Father's Voice - Part 4," Pastor Omar Ellison delves into the profound truth of confronting sin, revealing the enemy's strategy to keep us from prospering by encouraging us to cover our transgressions. Drawing from Scripture, he explains that true prosperity hinges not on outward religious acts, but on confessing our sins—acknowledging our wrong—and forsaking them—turning away from those destructive paths, much like Pharaoh's downfall stemmed from his refusal to forsake his wrongdoing.

Pastor Ellison then shifts to the transformative power of a tenderhearted spirit, contrasting it sharply with the perils of a hardened heart that leads to falling and mischief. He differentiates between ignorant sins, which require instruction, and presumptuous (premeditated) sins, which necessitate discipline, emphasizing that both carry penalties. The core of his message revolves around God's desire to change our thinking (our heart), moving us from a law-based "doing to get" mentality to a grace-based "receiving" one. He expounds on God's new covenant, where His Spirit is placed within us, not just upon us, enabling us to naturally walk in His laws without weariness. He powerfully concludes by explaining that the Holy Spirit seals the "real you" from sin, making it impossible for the true believer to sin, even as the flesh may falter. This sealing empowers us to forgive others as we have been forgiven, fostering kindness and tenderheartedness, ultimately calling us to a deep, sincere brokenness and remorse for sin that leads to genuine, lasting change.

In his compelling message, "Rehoboth," Apostle Otis B. Young ignites a spirit of expectation, declaring the current season as a "harvest time" characterized by "groundbreaking, netbreaking, record-breaking, boat-sinking overflow." He challenges listeners to embrace a supernatural level of abundance that transcends the ordinary.

Drawing profound insights from the biblical account of Isaac in Genesis 26, Apostle Young outlines five key principles for navigating this season of breakthrough. First, he emphasizes the necessity of handling intimidation and jealousy with grace, recognizing that opposition often accompanies favor and success. Second, he urges believers to "keep moving," refusing to be deterred by negativity or those who wish them ill. Third, the Apostle stresses the importance of following "the example of the Father," Jesus Christ, as the ultimate guide for an unwavering spiritual journey. Fourth, he teaches the critical skill of "digging in the valley"—persevering in prayer, faith, and relationship with God even when facing low points, isolation, or financial hardship. This "digging" is about personal spiritual discipline that uncovers blessings in challenging terrains. Finally, he powerfully declares the concept of "Rehoboth," meaning "the Lord has made room." This signifies that God is intentionally clearing out the old, making space for fresh, innovative, and unprecedented blessings. He encourages listeners to exercise their God-given authority to declare their healing, wealth, and flourishing, asserting that their spoken word, aligned with God's, shapes their reality. The message culminates in a call to daily prayer for unsaved family members, destiny helpers, and ministry leadership, all while boldly proclaiming the year of groundbreaking overflow.

"Pride is our greatest enemy because it makes God our enemy."

--Pastor Steve Dow

In this impactful and deeply personal message titled "Pride: Our Biggest Enemy," Pastor Steve Dow courageously confronts a sin he admits to struggling with daily: pride. Drawing from 1 Peter 5:5 and other scriptures, Pastor Dow dissects the insidious nature of pride, revealing how it silently infiltrates our thoughts and actions. He challenges listeners to examine their own attitudes, particularly regarding the elevation of younger generations in ministry, the tendency to judge others, and the belief that "my way" is the only way.

Pastor Dow powerfully asserts that pride not only hinders our spiritual growth but actively positions us as enemies of God, as "God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble." He explains how pride is not merely a sin but a "sinful mother" that births countless other sins, leading to self-exaltation, self-promotion, and even spiritual suicide. The sermon culminates with a call to repentance and submission to Jesus Christ, highlighting the cross as the decisive place where pride can be crushed and true humility embraced, leading to God's liberating grace and power.

"Let our home be the first place that our identity in Christ shows up, not the last."

--Pastor Ryan Kramer

In "Parenting God's Way," Pastor Ryan Kramer, fresh off sabbatical, dives into the crucial intersection of Christian identity and family life, specifically parenting. Building on the church's "Identity Theft" series, he highlights that knowing who we are in Christ is only truly meaningful when it's lived out daily, especially in the home where Satan often works overtime to derail our walk. Using Ephesians 6:4 as his anchor, Pastor Ryan redefines what leadership in the home looks like, moving from mere "being in charge" to "being Christlike." He unpacks common pitfalls that provoke children to anger, such as helicopter parenting, comparison, performance-based love, emotional absence, and unrealistic expectations, explaining how these behaviors can rewire a child's brain, diminish trust, and create a distorted view of Jesus.

The core of the message shifts to Paul's positive instructions: "bring them up with the discipline and the instruction that comes from the Lord." Pastor Ryan offers three practical "handles" for parenting God's way: raising kids with grace (cultivating with compassion, where correction is wrapped in compassion), training with purpose (discipline as preparation, explaining the "why" behind rules), and teaching with kindness (gentle correction, being safe rather than scary). He vulnerably shares his own struggles with reacting in anger and the transformative power of a parent repenting and asking for a child's forgiveness, demonstrating true grace. The sermon concludes with a powerful challenge: to ensure our home is the primary place our identity in Christ is revealed, reflecting God's love, grace, mercy, and compassion to our children.
