Go Into All The World

A Spirit-led testimony begins the program; a young Christian girl was not forgotten by the Lord. Hearing the voice and leading of the Lord is important for believers and leads to good things. Success for believers is studied again as the Macedonian church, despite poverty, excelled in giving and epitomized that God is able to make all GRACE abound to churches and believers.

This is the 4th program on another gift from God to men. The series focuses on God wants "success" for His body. Success can also mean prosperity, but not like Mercedes and Mansions. This program looks at I Cor. 16:1-4 and II Cor. 9 in depth. Tithing is discussed and why it should be on the gross, not the net as some do. A powerful scriptural point is made from II Cor. 9:6 that one who s...

A belief or foundation point for many churches is that Jesus and the New Testament say the standard for a NT believer is to be materially poor or just getting by. This series of programs refutes that point, not saying "name and claim it" or "blab and grab it" but showing how Jesus and other NT scriptures talk of giving, lending, looking for nothing in return, tithing, etc. NT b...

The last program brought up a "gift" from God to man, the gift of success. Manny and Gary studied our forefathers in the faith and then a number of OT verses What did these speak of? Today's program focuses on Jesus; did He advocate poverty and a "just get by" mentality? Or, were his comments more in line with those on last week's program that God was giving and has giv...

God gave men gits, Jesus was the main one. Another one is very important and often not accessed or received. The gift is success, a better term than prosperity. This program looks at the forefathers of the Christian faith and at many OT scriptures. We see many of our forefathers were very wealthy. And, the scriptures cited, mainly from Psalms and Proverbs, speak of prosperity and success. Why woul...

The scriptures say "taste and see that the Lord is good." Gary and Manny present more scriptures that show God's love and His awesomeness including many Psalms. The program emphasizes that our understanding of His great love and just how awesome He is can deepen as we mediate on verses from these past two weeks.

Gary opens the program with two stories showing God's love and His awesomeness. Gary and Manny review many scriptures which expounds on these points. Verses from Romans 8 end the program.

Manny and Gary review the believer's armor from Ephesians 6, with prayer as part of the armor. Paul asking for prayer so he could boldly evangelize is mentioned, something all believers could pray for. The ministry of Jesus from Matthew 8:8-9:9 is summarized, showing Jesus ministered both to crowds via teaching but also one-on-one as He was going His way...something all believers can emulate.

Many of the current ills and character flaws in society were prophesied by the Holy Spirit years ago. Living in this age is difficult but should also propel believers to share their faith. Verses 1-8 from II Cor. 5 are reviewed, showing long for their new body and home but are content today knowing their future.

The program begins with highlights from the previous week and then talks of the importance of giving thanks from a grateful and appreciative heart. Some comments from Rick Renner are included. The word entitlement is looked at and hoe ungratefulness as crept in, leading others to be ungrateful and have a sense of entitlement. Gary recounts the death of his stepdaughter in a car crash and how he an...

After a short review from last week's program, Gary and Manny look at II Cor. 4:13-16. Highlights include the title verse, believers speak and proclaim the truth because it is written. Other highlights are believers know He who raised Jesus will raise them, we do not lose heart and as grace reaches more and more thanksgiving goes to God. The three goals of the program are also mentioned.

Gary notes points from verses 1-4. These include not losing heart, handling the Word of God truthfully, rejecting those who use the Word deceitfully, preaching the true Gospel, one based on Christ alone. Verses 7-12 start with the truth that the treasure is Christ, which we have in our earthen vessel, our body! The next verses list some of the difficulties we face. Though we carry the body of deat...

Gary recaps last week's program including two takeaways from the testimony on Jehovah Witness sisters and their dad. Verses from II Cor. 3 & 4 are covered with 3:12 summarizing the preceding ones, noting believers have a glorious hope, which produces a boldness to share our faith. Jews have a veil, which only leaves when someone accepts Jesus. Those with Him are transformed from glory to g...

This program includes a short review of verses from II Cor. 2 and intros II Cor. 3:1-6. Paul's letter of commendation was the changed hearts of the Corinthian believers; we, too, can be introduced by the changed lives in our walk with the Lord. And, no believer or group should become "spiritual police."; Rather than judge a ministry or a person for a statement or two, we should look...

Verses from I Cor. 10-31 are reviewed. The need to focus on our oneness in Christ and the Gospel are emphasized. Verses 1-5 show Paul was not an eloquent speaker but fully relied on the message of the Gospel and Christ crucified. He, too, like many of us, did experience weakness, fear and trembling but he persevered as we can to share the Good News. Paul not only preached the message but also saw...

These verses contain many insights for those wishing to evangelize including we are one body so minimize/ignore differences, we are to preach the Gospel, the power of God, not our denominational or such views, Christ is the head and focus not a pastor or teacher, a style of baptism, etc. The ending verses powerfully show that God has chosen what could be considered foolishness and is not the wisdo...

The program focuses on verses from II Tim. Many important items for evangelizing are mentioned including sound doctrine will be shunned, people will follow their own desires/teachers and many will turn aside to fables. These are severe warnings as we approach the end times but the last part of the verse encourages us to be watchful, endure afflictions, be an evangelist & fulfill our ministry.

Gary and Manny share points from II Tim. 4:2 that will help all of us share our faith with others as well as help minister to other believers. Two of the points focus on being ready both in season and out of season. Gary reviews portions of 12 of his testimonies from the past three programs that demonstrate the points from II Tim. 4:2 helped him.

The program begins with two insights for believers. First, we are called to live for the Lord 24/7, not just on Sundays, special events, et al, but everyday. Next, God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself and He has given us the ministry of reconciliation, introducing others to God and His plan. The three testimonies including a healing in a pizza parlor beer garden, the restoration of a...

Gary presents more testimonies. He describes a called intent on suicide, a couple of encounters with Jehovah Witnesses and a miraculous healing of a Christian who suffered from depression, oppression, and more for years. Gary and Manny discuss some spiritual points and encourage listeners to walk out their walk trying to serve the Lord everyday and know His power and presence is resident with and...

Gary and Manny will take a break from the Book of Romans. This and following programs will focus on testimonies, primarily from Gary's walk with the Lord. For those not familiar with his background, the Lord uses him to minister in the highways and byways of this world, i.e. banks, stores, restaurants, movie sets, sporting events and more. Gary will share the complete testimony and then he and...

The program covers Romans 11:16-21. There is a lengthy comment on verse 16, showing the covenant forefathers of Israel and how this foundation will one day lead to the Jews returning to God through Jesus. Other verses here note the importance of humility for the grafted-in Gentiles; just as the original branches were removed, Gentiles need to stay humble about the blessings and the position they h...

Gary begins with a testimony on how the Holy Spirit led him to go to a Federal Bldg "right now." Once there he met with a staffer for a local Congressman; she just "happened" to be free. Gary and Manny share a couple other Spirit-led moments and the importance for believers to be sensitive to the HS. More verses in Romans 11 point out the fall of the Jews, from Jesus to themsel...

Gary and co-host Manny review Romans 11:5-10. They expound on the main points in these verses, including that all must not think, like Elijah, that they or their group are the only ones faithful to God; that those who harden their heart against Jesus as the Only Way may see God further harden their heart; and just as the Jews missed out, did not benefit from Jesus's death, many may try other p...

Gary and Manny revisit the story of pastor telling a serviceman that God does not help people on earth, but only in heaven...leading to the suicide of the serviceman. A trip to Colorado was the site of a dramatic answer to prayer; Manny prayed for a family in need asking the Lord for an answer in 24 hours. God answered in even less time. Gary shares the biblical truth of giving thanks in all thing...
