A God Focused Life

Arguments and disagreements come because we see in part. Someone doesn’t have the full picture or full story and it can cause division and confusion. I hope this podcast helps us all slow down and take time to get more understanding and also be patient as we pray for others to get understanding as well.

DAY 32 ACTS 5-7 Obey God Rather Than Men Rebecca Thompson Download WATCH ON YOUTUBE

Today we look at Pentecost and see how the disciples became bolder because of the empowerment of Holy Spirit.

Jesus had a message when He knew His disciples were afraid and that was “Peace be with you.” I pray that anyone suffering from anxiety, fear, worry, panic or anything else that is tormenting would find peace and rest in the presence of Holy Spirit.

In a world of division, it’s comforting to read that Jesus actually prayed to the Father for us to be unified. John 17 shows us a prayer that Jesus prayed for Himself, for the disciples, and for future believers…which is US!

Are you currently trying to make a decision and need wisdom or counsel? Do you fight depression and weariness because you feel stuck in life’s troubles and trials? Are you longing for something different but don’t know how to make the necessary changes to have the abundant life? Then this video and podcast is for you. I want to show you in scripture how to find the counsel and even a counselor tha...

Where is God when bad things happen? In today’s podcast we will see clear examples of how God and Jesus know the bigger picture and They know how the story ends. The goal of Jesus is to glorify God in all things. Is that your goal as well?

Ever labeled yourself as a “black sheep?” Ever felt condemned by your sin? Or maybe you are struggling to be set FREE of a particular sin. In today’s podcast we will look at how and why Jesus set the woman caught in the act of adultery free. I share from personal experience and pray that you will soon find your freedom, too!!

Do you pray for unsaved loved ones? Or for prodigals to return to Jesus? Or maybe you are praying for yourself to have a better relationship with God. In this podcast we are going to look at the difference between praying according to the law vs life! I also want to show you how to pray so your prayers are effective and could even move the heavenlies all because you prayed!!

Buckle up because I’m quite vulnerable in this episode! Whether you are in ministry or whether you are far away from church and Jesus, this message about sin applies to us us all! Learning from Nicodemus, John the Baptist and the woman at the well from John 2-4.

Sometimes when reading scripture,  we skim over miracles without even realizing it! In today’s reading, there are LOTS of miracles that perhaps you’ve never noticed. I pray you come to love Jesus even more and realize that He really was and is forever our one true God!

We will look at the “capstone” the builders rejected and we will look at Peter’s sin. Jesus prophesied that Peter would deny Him yet Jesus didn’t hold a grudge. Jesus forgave and even encouraged him with a future mission to strengthen his brothers.

There are many nuggets in this section of scripture to help us with humility and honoring others. Grab your Bible and follow along! What part stands out to you?

Today’s episode is on rejection and feeling like you’re not wanted or you don’t fit in. Probably all of us have felt like that from time to time. Hope this podcast and our scripture reading from today help you know you are accepted and sincerely wanted!! And totally LOVED!! And even CELEBRATED!!

This one got pretty emotional because of the seriousness of the topic(s). There are so many life-changing and God-fearing nuggets that it was difficult to come up with an appropriate title. I pray God draws you closer to Him through listening and watching.

In this episode we talk about the evidence of a hard heart versus the evidence of a soft heart and how we can change it. Parable of the soil.

Have you been waiting for God to answer your prayer request? Provision? Healing? Forgiveness for sins? Something else? What if God wants to do something totally unexpected? Listen to today’s podcast to see what I mean.

We see Simeon, Anna, John the Baptist, and Jesus living in “overflow.” This teaching will hopefully encourage you and show you how to do the same!!

We will take a look at people who didn’t believe in Jesus and even people who believed in Jesus but didn’t believe what He said or in what God was telling them. Then we will take a look at what happened to those who DID believe and how they were flooded with joy and the presence of God.

She didn’t worry about what others thought of her…she just poured out her alabaster jar on Jesus’s feet. What she did is still remembered to this day and sets the example of how to worship.

The verse that stood out to me from today’s chapters was Mark 9:15 where it says “… they were overwhelmed with wonder.” The closer we get to Jesus, the more wonder we will have. There is no one too low in status or too sinful for Jesus to want them to come closer. I pray this podcast helps increase your desire for Him and gives insight to how you can come closer.

Jesus told the disciples to come away and rest. And soon thereafter there was work to do. How can we discern whether to rest or work? Why were the disciples’ hearts hardened after seeing Jesus feed more than 5,000 people? I share my thoughts in today’s podcast.

Jesus gives an invitation to go deeper in our walk with Him. He took time to teach His disciples profound truths about the Kingdom. They also experienced more miracles and revelations than the masses. Learn why and even how in today’s podcast.
