Beside Still Waters

God’s great call to action is proclaimed in the Incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ. In the coming of the Son of God, heaven and earth are summoned to respond. The eternal Word took on flesh and entered our world in humility and grace, yet His arrival remains the most glorious event in human history. Throughout the Gospel accounts, we see a variety of responses to His coming. The angels responded...

We live in a multicultural, polytheistic world where beliefs affecting life quality, opinions about the afterlife, and the nature and workings of God are as varied as sunsets are unique. Yet, there remains a deep uncertainty about the veracity of these claims. Amid this landscape, Jesus Christ—the Lord—commands the attention of the world through His extraordinary life, His sacrificial death, and H...

"End Times" chatter fills social media. The pundits and "experts" are hyper-focused on political events, natural disasters, declining cultural norms, etc. There is a dearth of biblical & spiritual guidance of readiness for Jesus second coming and how to live so as to please God. This podcast reduces this critical need to its bare essentials, with guaranteed results.

The 'Return of Jesus' is on the horizon. The salient question before us is: How should I live? What matters should occupy my focus? Paul presents poignant, life changing truths to the church in Rome which directly impact the sanctity ("holiness") of their lives and ours by extension. That truth is our inclusion in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus

The Christian community is confused about Jesus Christ's Second coming, the second-greatest prophetic event. Questions abound - Why gather Christians in the air? How does this differ from his coming to earth in a blaze of universal glory? This first, in a series of podcasts, addresses key events that illumine this major prophetic milestone.

As of October 2024, there should be no doubt we are in "The Last Days". Economic , social, and personal uncertainty are at record levels. Individuals and families are questioning their survivability in navigating societal challenges. Many are experiencing a heightened sense of 'helplessness' in formulating a favorable response plan. Jesus reminded his audience that Noah reminded his audience that...

The Abigail - David encounter in 1 Samuel 25 is a textbook model of being used of God to help (a believer) remain in the will of God. David, after being a victim of a wrath-triggering experience, was skillfully moved by this woman to remain in God's will as it pertained to his life and service. 

Christ is the Christian’s character. Are we constrained to have stunted spiritual growth - being the same as we were a month ago, a year ago? Five years ago? No! Character is malleable. God wants us to grow, the Spirit compels growth, and we should never settle for ”just enough”. ”Be filled with the Spirit” is the divine mandate. 

Christ is the Christian's character. We are not constrained to have stunted spiritual growth - being the same as we were a month ago, a year ago? Five years ago? No! Character is malleable.

As the "Days of Noah" have arrived, we are to be ready for the return of our Lord Jesus Christ. For the Christian, it portends glory! For the remaining souls, certain judgment. Live ready. . .

We are in "The Last Days". This is not subject to debate. Pandemics, societal anarchy, new social-relational aberrations, upsurge of 'New Age' religious practices, unbounded immorality, biblical spiritual decline . . .  Jesus, the Christ, was clear in his warning that "as it was in the day of Noah, so also shall be the coming of the Son of Man . . . until the day on which Noah entered the ark"  (M...

The critical truth showing how God is influenced to be strong on your behalf and impact mankind was given by Jesus, the Christ in Mathew's Gospel, 17:14-21. He identified prayer and fasting as the only to make a Christian influential for the kingdom God, man's good, and holy in a pagan world.

People often ask me: "What do I gain if I pursue God with all I've got?" The greatest prize, gift, benefit, or outcome . . . is God Himself   Full Video: https://youtu.be/k1iVcyVJVy4?si=80RewUL-sQwxmu74  

Is pleasing God an impossible task? It is written, ". . . without faith, it is impossible to please Him (God) for he that comes to God must believe that He is . . .". Pleasing God begins with a clear acknowledgment that He exists, and He awaits the evidence of a willing, obedient life.

The exercise of faith is not distinct from developing an upright, holy character. Connection with God - the ability to "touch the hand of God" in one's life experience is predicated on having a character standing before God that is God-approved.  #christianjavois.com www.christianjavois.com

Prioritizing "alone time" with God is the first critical step in experiencing God's presence. When being in His presence is our standard, we are thus prepared to discover He is with us in the storm, as He was in the calm.

Have you ever prayed: "Lord, please use me to bless others . . ." or "Help me to be a blessing to my family" or such request? That plea signals a desire to be filled, led, and used by a mighty God for humanity's good and the building up of the Body of Christ. Then this podcast is for you. #christianjavois.com

What good is a "belief" if it does not result in a "Life and Lip" Transformation? It is a dead faith, a life-less dogma. The Christian's mandate is to validate in word as well as deed that there is available grace to live an extraordinary life.

The grace of God is the Christian's "enabling power," making deliverance from sin's penalty and power a reality.  There is no power in any person or any method that can deliver from the power of sin apart from the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.
