Growing In God Podcast Program Number: GIG #308 Title: Blood That Cries to God From the Ground   Web Description: If you want God to hear your prayers, then remember that there is nothing God hears more than the blood that cries to Him from the ground.

Growing In God Podcast Program Number: GIG #307   Title: Don't Battle Flesh and Blood   Web Description: As Christians we are not to be like those who do not understand what is happening in the world and are helpless to do anything about it.

Growing In God Podcast Program Number: GIG #306 Title: The Oneness of Christians   Web Description: Is oneness among Christians just a nice idea that we cannot expect to see actually happen? No. According to Psalm 133, oneness is where the Lord commands eternal life. Jeshua (Jesus) prayed to the Father that we may all be one. Our oneness is already created by the Word of God, and we can fully expe...

Growing In God Podcast Program Number: GIG #305 Title: Set a Guard, Lord, Over My Mouth   Web Description: The Lord has freed us from sin so that we can worship Him. But if we have murmuring and complaining in our lives, then the things we voice about ourselves, about others, and about our circumstances work in opposition to the worship God is seeking. We ask the Lord, therefore, to set a guard ov...

Growing In God Podcast Program Number: GIG #304 Title: The Mind vs. the Spirit   Web Description: There are many wars and rumors of wars. But the greatest war that humanity fights is the war between the fleshly mind and the Spirit. As Christians we still find ourselves in that war. But God has given us His Holy Spirit to help us win the war. He has the power to free us from the old mindsets that k...

Growing In God Podcast Program Number: GIG #303   Title: Impelled by the Spirit   Web Description: We often think of the infilling of the Holy Spirit as a means of experiencing His gifts. While it is absolutely true that He gives us gifts—and we should use those gifts—there is a greater purpose. Christ has given us the Holy Spirit to indwell us and impel us. We belong to Christ, and we are not her...

Growing In God Podcast Program Number: GIG #301 Categories: Discipleship Title: Prepare to Receive the Holy Spirit   Web Description: The Day of Pentecost was not just a single moment in time when the disciples experienced a great outpouring of the Holy Spirit.

Growing In God Podcast Program Number: GIG #299 Title: God's Many Dwelling Places   Web Description: There are many dwelling places in our Father's house, and Christ is our access to the Father. He has prepared a place for us so that we can be with Him where He is. Our prayers should be more than asking Him to give us things in this material realm where we are dwelling. We should be moving to our...

Growing In God Podcast Program Number: GIG #298 Title: On Earth As It Is in Heaven   Web Description: The king told Esther and Mordecai to take his signet ring and do what they needed to complete their deliverance.

Growing In God Podcast Program Number: GIG #297 Title: Resurrection Is Our Reality   Web Description: Yeshua (Jesus) is the Resurrection and the Life, and by His stripes we are healed. Everything we need for our life and health already exists, and our prayers should express this reality. Do not pray as if your healing does not exist. Immerse yourself in the resurrection, life, and healing that alr...

Growing In God Podcast Program Number: GIG #296 Title: Passover Is a Choice   Web Description: The Israelites had to choose to participate in the Passover. And that required choosing to think according to God's instructions through Moses rather than according to their past conditioning. Today we deal with a world that is constantly trying to condition our minds to think in opposition to God. But a...

Growing In God Podcast Program Number: GIG #295   Web Description: As we read the Scriptures, it is not long before we realize that God is serious about what He wants us to do and to be. But a Scripture that confronts us with this reality can make us uncomfortable and make us try to lessen its impact in some way. We should stop doing that. The Word of God has the power to transform us. And we shou...

Growing In God Podcast Program Number: GIG #294 Title: Our Gratitude for Christ in Us   Web Description: It is a tradition in Christianity to recite a confession of faith. But our greatest confession of faith is our expression of gratitude for all that Christ is in us. We can only be grateful for something we have received. And we have received Christ, in whom we are rooted and grounded and growin...

Growing In God Podcast Program Number: GIG #293 Title: Faith Is Spiritual Gravity   Web Description: When you wake up in the morning, you do not expect to lose the force of gravity and float off into space. Gravity is always there and always working. Likewise, you should not think of faith as something that you lose and try to get back. Just like gravity, faith should always be there. Do not pump...

Growing In God Podcast Program Number: GIG #292 Web Description: With AI there will be new levels of deception and persecution directed against the people of God.

Growing In God Podcast Program Number: GIG #291 Title: Preparation for Purim   Web Description: As Christians we need to see the significance of Purim for us.

The purification and preparation they went through, which reversed the edict of destruction and made them...

Growing In God Podcast Program Number: GIG #290 Title: Purim—Anticipating Instant Change   Web Description: We can look at what is happening in the world today and feel like darkness is taking over; everything is getting worse and nothing is going to change.

Growing In God Podcast Program Number: GIG #289 Title: Times of Refreshing   Web Description: We believe in the promise that there will be times of refreshing from the presence of the Lord. But when we look at our circumstances, we think, "This doesn't seem like refreshing to me!" That is the wrong focus because what precedes and initiates the times of refreshing is the fact that we repent and ret...

Growing In God Podcast Program Number: GIG #288 Title: What Does Scripture Say About Us?   Web Description: Are you confident that you always believe that God means what He says? What about when you read a Bible verse that tells you to be like Christ?

Growing In God Podcast Program Number: GIG #287 Title: Seeing Him Who Is Invisible   Web Description: What is faith? According to Hebrews 11, faith is the evidence of things not seen.

Growing In God Podcast Program Number: GIG #285 Title: Renewing Your Mind   Web Description: Imagine a recording continually playing in your mind, telling you how unworthy you are and how incapable you are of doing the will of God.
