The Winning Walk with Dr. Ed Young - Daily Radio

If there was ever a time for boldness, it is now! In the battle we’re in, light armor will not do. Be fully clothed in the armor of God so you can defeat evil and be a difference-maker in your culture, your home, and in your sphere of influence.

Whether you’re on a mountaintop or in a valley, Satan will attempt to keep you from fulfilling the purpose God has for your life. But God has provided the resources you need to experience victory in the daily conflict against evil and all that is sinister in our world today.

Love is encompassed in who God is, what He has done for us, and what He continues to do. When our walk is consistent with what we profess, others will know what love is because they will see it demonstrated in how we live. The Holy Spirit in us helps us model the kind of love the world has never seen and cannot comprehend.

Can we know when a choice we make is consistent with God’s will? How can we discern when something is valid and true and will stand up to the pressures of life? God’s Word has given us several tests and resources that will help us know for certain that our decisions are based on biblical truth.

Nothing is hidden from God and there is no comfortable middle ground for those who embrace the worldview of a Christ-follower. To do so means you may often be misunderstood or unpopular, and you will go against the flow of the culture. But you will also experience the incomparable joy of knowing your life is pleasing to God.

When God’s Word tells us to do something, it always gives us the reason why. While change may occur in a moment, godly character is developed over time as we obey those commands that make a difference in how we live, affect the way we relate to others, and help us face the future with confident expectation.

We are in a battle in which the enemy uses whatever means possible to keep us from walking in the light and walking in the truth. Only when we remember that this world is temporary can we resist the enemy’s lies, refuse to compromise, and walk consistently and victoriously in the reality of eternity.

When we are weak, God is strong! As Jehovah Rapha, God is with us in our pain, provides physical, emotional and spiritual healing, and has the power to meet even the deepest needs of those who are broken, wounded or afflicted.

The better we understand who Jesus is, the better able we become to trust that what He has done on our behalf has truly set us free. No matter what He calls us to do, we wlll also have the assurance that He will give us the capacity to do it.

Far too many people create their own false image of God, and this is the God they worship. In order to see God clearly, and to know how He sees us, we must walk in the light of His Word so we can have a real, vibrant and living relationship with Him.

When we really pray, we begin with worship as we recognize that all of life is sacred. We acknowledge who God is and who we are, and we come into God’s presence in wonder, awe, and humility. We meet with God as He meets with us.

When we become part of the family of God, everything about our lives is transformed. Our prayers will have power because we can approach God as our Father, knowing that all the holes and gaps in our lives will be filled by Him.

Wise parents soon learn that God’s way isn’t complicated, but it is costly! Parents who want their children to have lives that are worthwhile and fulfilling will discipline in love, let kids experience the results of poor choices, and recognize that their goal as parents is to help their kids grow to experience all that God intended for them.

Distractions can be detrimental to family health. Kids need both the time and focused attention of their parents. Successful parents know how important it is to create and take advantage of timely opportunities to connect with their kids.

Jesus issued severe warnings to anyone who would harm a child or cause him to stumble. When parents love their children unconditionally and provide the discipline and instruction they need, they help them grow into the men and women God created them to become.

As the foundational cornerstones of our culture crumble around us, it is more important than ever for men and women to know how to hit the center of the target in the way they parent their children. Parents have the highest calling in the world, and they exercise that calling by helping their children find and fulfill God’s purpose for their lives.

A successful, joy-filled marriage is not the result of luck – it requires hard work! If you want your marriage to progress from the romance and intimacy of the honeymoon stage to the strength and stability of mature love, you need to avoid, or move through, the challenges that may otherwise lead to depression or divorce.

Is there a prescription for marriage that lasts a lifetime? God’s principles are the only ones that work – every single time. Six key words describe what it takes to get your marriage on the right track and keep it there no matter what may come against it.

It is virtually impossible to overstate the intensity of the attacks on marriage and the family today. How can you protect your marriage or restore a marriage that is struggling? The determining factor is the foundation on which the marriage is built. Protect your marriage by building on a solid biblical foundation.

There is a divine math that takes place in marriage; in the covenant that is marriage, one plus one equals one. Marriages thrive when couples understand that their highest priority is now their mate. You focus on the oneness and unity that is only achieved when your marriage operates on the principles God has given in His Word.

Most of us find it difficult to offer or give true forgiveness. When an affair, betrayal, conflict or little irritations destroy trust or undermine unity in a marriage, we need to understand what is involved in genuine, biblical forgiveness. That begins with our understanding of the character of God and the forgiveness He extended to us, in love, at the Cross of Jesus.

Outside of our relationship with God, marriage is the most important relationship we will ever have. That is why the Bible provides clear principles that work whether you are a newlywed or have been married for many years. When marriages get into trouble, the root of the problem is often a case of selfishness. Learn to recognize the symptoms and the cure.

When we are confronted with the big issues of life, it is not the strength of our faith that will matter, but the object of that faith. Because Jesus has the power and the authority to meet every need in our lives, we can confidently place our faith in Him.

Humility is at the heart of the Christian faith. On the night before His crucifixion, Jesus celebrated Passover with His disciples and taught them the paradoxical truth that the only way to save your life – and make it count – is to lose it.

The cross on which Jesus died has become the symbol of Christianity because it represents the most significant rescue operation in history, and continues to draw all those who contemplate its purpose and power.
