Forget Yourself Long Enough To Lend A Helping Hand

November 06, 2023 12:16 - 9 minutes - 8.64 MB

Forget Yourself Long Enough To Lend A Helping Hand Philippians 2:3-4 “Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves; do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others.” I had no idea this verse was in the Bible, yet it could be the answer to so many of our problems. Imagine what the world would be like if we did nothing from selfishness or empty conceit. Imagine if we a...

A Way Through the Wilderness

November 03, 2023 12:45 - 13 minutes - 12.6 MB

A Way Through The Wilderness Isaiah 35:1-10 “The wilderness and the desert will be glad, And the Arabah will rejoice and blossom; Like the crocus,  It will blossom profusely And rejoice with rejoicing and shout of joy. The glory of Lebanon will be given to it, The majesty of Carmel and Sharon. They will see the glory of the Lord, The majesty of our God. Encourage the exhausted, and strengthen the feeble. Say to those with anxious heart, “Take courage, fear not. Behold, your God will come wi...

Guilty Enough To Go Into The Fiery Hell?

November 02, 2023 12:43 - 13 minutes - 12.2 MB

Guilty Enough To Go Into The Fiery Hell? Matthew 5:21-22 “You have heard that the ancients were told, ‘You shall not commit murder’ and ‘Whoever commits murder shall be liable to the court.’  But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be guilty before the court; and whoever says to his brother, ‘You good-for-nothing,’ shall be guilty before the supreme court; and whoever says, ‘You fool,’ shall be guilty enough to go into the fiery hell.” Yesterday, the Gospel at ma...

Witness Wednesday #84 God Provides

November 01, 2023 13:35 - 6 minutes - 6.39 MB

This morning, I want to witness how God always provides. At prayer group last week, one of the members talked about a time when she truly understood what it was to believe without a doubt that God would do something. Her husband had died at a very young age. They had two very young kids.  She remembered the mass she had said for her husband one year after he had passed. Her husband had a big family. His mom had about 5 siblings, and dad had about 5 siblings. I am unsure how many siblings her...

The Lord Rewards Those Who Seek Him!

October 31, 2023 12:42 - 8 minutes - 7.52 MB

The Lord Rewards Those Who Seek Him Hebrews 11:6 “And without faith living within us it would be impossible to please God. For we come to God in faith, knowing that he is real and that he rewards the faith of those who passionately seek him.” I heard this verse last night, and the Holy Spirit said, that is the one you will use tomorrow for your podcast. I love it when that happens because I know He has something He wants to tell you. The part that stood out to me last night is “He rewards ...

Am I Falling Asleep Too?

October 30, 2023 13:27 - 11 minutes - 10.6 MB

Am I Falling Asleep Too? Acts 20:9 “And a young man named Eu′tychus was sitting in the window. He sank into a deep sleep as Paul talked still longer, and being overcome by sleep, he fell down from the third story and was taken up dead.” I heard a sermon on the Elevation Podcast the other day. This sermon was called I Didn’t Know I Fell Asleep and was preached by a visiting pastor named Robert Madu. He is the pastor of a church in Texas, and he was outstanding. He read a short passage and g...

Peace Be With You

October 27, 2023 12:06 - 8 minutes - 7.73 MB

Check out WalkboldlywithJesus.com to find all the details on my new coaching group. Here is a brief description.  Have you ever desired a more personal relationship with the Lord? Have you ever been around people who seem so in love with the Lord and longed for that same relationship? Have you ever wished you knew more about praying, worshiping, praising, and so much more? Why is it that if we want to get better at something, like gardening, painting, or singing, we will seek professional h...

God Intended It For Good

October 26, 2023 12:09 - 9 minutes - 9.12 MB

God Intended It For Good Romans 50:20 “Even though you intended to do harm to me, God intended it for good, in order to preserve a numerous people, as he is doing today.” I love this verse. I love Joseph. He persevered through so much stuff in his life. He was one of 12 boys in his family. Joseph was loved by his father more than the others because his mother was the woman he had first fallen in love with. His father had given Joseph this nice, colorful coat. Joseph was assigned to go with...

Mary in Ukraine

October 25, 2023 12:24 - 12 minutes - 11.4 MB

Today, I am going to recount to you several appearances of the Blessed Mother Mary. It’s interesting because I first decided to do this when I heard about a shocking rosary miracle in Ukraine that happened about a year ago. I researched some other amazing things yesterday, and then today, when I was about to start recording, I found an article that discusses previous Marian apparitions in Ukraine. It appears our blessed Mother has visited them a few times over the years. So, today I will rea...

Do Our Prayers Even Matter?

October 24, 2023 13:04 - 10 minutes - 9.89 MB

Do Our Prayers Even Matter? Ezekiel 22:30 “And I sought for anyone among them who would repair the wall and stand in the breach before me on behalf of the land, so that I would not destroy it; but I found no one.” We spent last night in class talking about prophetic intercession. I have discussed intercessory prayer before on various episodes as I think it is essential. Here, we have the Lord telling us the same thing. Intercessory prayer is when you pray on behalf of someone else. For ins...

Jesus In My Presence

October 23, 2023 12:23 - 13 minutes - 12 MB

Jesus In My Presence Song of Songs 8:1 "If only I could show everyone this passionate desire I have for you. If only I could express it fully, no matter who was watching me, without shame or embarrassment.” This is another verse from the Passion Translation of Song of Songs. As I read and re-read this translation, I notice how I am beginning to see Jesus differently. I was reading our required reading book for this quarter last night.“Personal Prayer: A Guide for Receiving the Father’s Lov...

Redeeming Love

October 20, 2023 12:40 - 10 minutes - 9.2 MB

Redeeming Love Song of Songs 7:10-12 “Now I know that I am for my beloved and all his desires are fulfilled in me. Come away, my lover. Come with me to the faraway fields. We will run away together to the forgotten places and show them redeeming love. Let us arise and run to the vineyards of your people and see if the budding vines of love are now in full bloom. We will discover if their passion is awakened. There, I will display my love for you.” I chose these verses for a few reasons. Th...

Why Would You Seek Me?

October 19, 2023 12:05 - 8 minutes - 8.15 MB

Why Would You Seek Me? Song of Solomon 6:13b “The Shulamite Bride: Why would you seek a mere Shulamite like me? Why would you want to see my dance of love? The Bridegroom-King: Because you dance so gracefully, as though you danced with angels!” I wanted to stick with the Song of Solomon Book, also known as the Song of Songs. I am in love with the passion translation of this book. Let me explain quickly for those of you who, like me, don’t know much about the Song of Songs. The Song of Song...

Witness Wednesday #82 The Power of Prayer

October 18, 2023 13:02 - 7 minutes - 7.32 MB

Today I want to witness about the power of prayer. I saw a random YouTube Video. I will put a link in the show notes for the video. One of my Facebook friends posted it on her page, so I clicked. In the video, a priest talks about his friend John Petravitch, who was running through his neighborhood and saw an ambulance. He is a nice guy, so he wondered if he should stop and check if everything was okay. He thought, I don’t know the lady, and I am not a doctor, so he kept running. He decided ...

Will You Catch Your Foxes?

October 17, 2023 12:34 - 9 minutes - 8.34 MB

Will You Catch Your Foxes? Song of Songs 2:15 “You must catch the troubling foxes, those sly little foxes that hinder our relationship. For they raid our budding vineyard of love to ruin what I’ve planted within you. Will you catch them and remove them for me? We will do it together.” I had the best class at Encounter Ministries Boston Campus last night. Our teachers explained to us all about The Song of Songs book in the Bible. I am sure Father Mike explained it to me during the Bible in ...

Are You Ready?

October 16, 2023 12:44 - 8 minutes - 7.75 MB

Are you Ready? Matthew 22:11-12 “But when the king came in to see the guests, he noticed a man there who was not wearing wedding clothes. He asked, ‘How did you get in here without wedding clothes, friend?’ The man was speechless.” This was the Gospel reading from Mass yesterday. I was excited when I heard it because it was one that I had heard several times, and yet I did not understand it. Let me read you the whole parable so you can see why I was confused. The verse above is from the pa...

The Spirit of Offense, Be Gone!

October 13, 2023 04:00 - 9 minutes - 9.08 MB

The Spirit of Offense, Be Gone! Proverbs 19:11 “It is good sense to be slow to anger, and an honor to overlook an offense.” I have really been struggling with the spirit of offense lately. Actually, I am not sure if it is new or if I am just noticing it more lately. Ever since we learned about it last year in Encounter Ministries, I have noticed that I definitely take offense often, especially with Tony. This is not something I am proud of, and it is something I am trying to figure out so ...

Witness Wednesday #81 (Heart to Heart Retreat)

October 12, 2023 04:00 - 9 minutes - 8.66 MB

Before I begin my witness today, I first want to apologize for being a day late. With Monday not only being a holiday but also the last day of the retreat, I have been one day off this whole week. I totally forgot that yesterday was Wednesday, and yet I didn’t want to skip Witness Wednesday this week, so I am doing it a day late. My witness today will be about the retreat I just did this past weekend. God was in every stage of it, and so I want to give Him all the glory. Last spring, I felt...

Repent & Do the Father’s Will

October 11, 2023 13:39 - 8 minutes - 7.87 MB

Repent & Do the Father’s Will Matthew 3:8-10 "Produce good fruit as evidence of your repentance. And do not presume to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I tell you, God can raise up children to Abraham from these stones.  Even now, the ax lies at the root of the trees. Therefore every tree that does not bear good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.”  This statement is being said by John the Baptist to the Pharisees and Sadducees. In the verse right before...

Saul's Jealousy

October 10, 2023 15:03 - 9 minutes - 8.59 MB

Saul’s Jealousy 1 Samuel 18:6-9 " At the approach of Saul and David, on David’s return after striking down the Philistine, women came out from all the cities of Israel to meet Saul the king, singing and dancing, with tambourines, joyful songs, and stringed instruments. The women played and sang: “Saul has slain his thousands, David his tens of thousands.” Saul was very angry and resentful of the song, for he thought: “They give David tens of thousands, but only thousands to me. All that rem...

Chapter 10 The Power of Eucharistic Adoration

October 06, 2023 05:34 - 13 minutes - 11.9 MB

The Power of Eucharistic Adoration Eucharistic Adoration is something I didn’t really do before my first retreat. I am not sure I even knew it was a thing. Then when I went to Adoration for the first time, I was not really sure what I should do. I remember being moved by the way the monstrance looked. It was so beautiful. I could not believe we could sit there and talk to Jesus. I know we can always talk to Jesus, but this was different. This was talking to Him with Him being right there. I...

Are You Thirsty?

October 05, 2023 12:19 - 11 minutes - 10.4 MB

Are You Thirsty? Isaiah 55:1-3 "All you who are thirsty, come to the water! You who have no money, come, buy grain and eat; Come, buy grain without money, wine and milk without cost! Why spend your money for what is not bread, your wages for what does not satisfy? Only listen to me, and you shall eat well, you shall delight in rich fare. Pay attention and come to me; listen, that you may have life. I will make with you an everlasting covenant, the steadfast loyalty promised to David.” The ...

Witness Wednesday #80 CreightonStrong

October 04, 2023 12:45 - 9 minutes - 8.25 MB

Today I will read a Facebook message from a mom whose son was in an accident. I do not know this family personally. One of my Big Life sisters does, and so she asked for prayers on our mentoring page and kept us updated. There were so many people praying for this young man. This mom’s name is Megan, and she got that phone call that no one wants to receive. That phone call where the sheriff says those four words that change your life forever, “There’s been an accident.” I will probably do ano...

How Long, Lord?

October 03, 2023 13:07 - 9 minutes - 8.82 MB

How Long, Lord? Psalm 13:4-5 “How long, Lord? Will you utterly forget me? How long will you hide your face from me? How long must I carry sorrow in my soul, grief in my heart day after day? How long will my enemy triumph over me? Look upon me, answer me, Lord, my God! Give light to my eyes lest I sleep in death, Lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed,” lest my foes rejoice at my downfall. But I trust in your mercy. Grant my heart joy in your salvation, I will sing to the Lord, for he has deal...

God Is Talking. Are You Listening?

October 02, 2023 12:12 - 9 minutes - 8.82 MB

God is talking. Are you listening? 1 Kings 19:12-13  After the earthquake, fire—but the Lord was not in the fire; after the fire, a light silent sound. When he heard this, Elijah hid his face in his cloak and went out and stood at the entrance of the cave. A voice said to him, Why are you here, Elijah?  This verse takes place on a mountaintop. Elijah, a great prophet of the Lord, is hiding in a cave when the Lord appears to Him and asks him what he is doing in the cave. Next is 1 Kings 19:...

A Conversation With The Lord About Mercy

September 29, 2023 12:12 - 8 minutes - 7.67 MB

Episode #587 A Conversation With The Lord About Mercy Isaiah 55:6-7 “Seek the Lord while he may be found, call upon him while he is near; let the wicked forsake their way, and the unrighteous their thoughts; let them return to the Lord, that he may have mercy on them, and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.” Today I have something a little different for you. Yesterday at prayer group, my good friend Louise did a teaching on God’s mercy and Justice. She talked about something she had...

Chocolate Milk

September 28, 2023 10:31 - 8 minutes - 8.03 MB

Chocolate Milk John 20:21-22 “Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.” When he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit." This verse takes place after Jesus has been crucified. The apostles are all locked up in the upper room because they are afraid if the Jewish people knew where they were, they would be crucified, too. I am sure this was a very confusing time for the apostles. They had been living life w...

I Desire Mercy, not Sacrifice

September 26, 2023 13:04 - 8 minutes - 8.09 MB

I Desire Mercy, not Sacrifice Matthew 9:13 “Go and learn what this means, ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I have come to call not the righteous but sinners.” To put this verse into context for you, I will read the few verses before this verse. Matthew 9:9-12 “ As Jesus was walking along, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax booth; and he said to him, “Follow me.” And he got up and followed him. And as he sat at dinner in the house, many tax collectors and sinners came and we...

What To Do About Anxiety, Fear & Worry

September 25, 2023 12:09 - 10 minutes - 9.81 MB

What To Do About Anxiety, Fear & Worry Matthew 5:9  “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.” I think it is kind of interesting that this is the verse of the day today. I was searching for good scripture verses for anxiety. I woke up this morning to a Facebook message from a friend asking for prayers because her anxiety was really bad, and she couldn’t sleep. This, unfortunately, happens to more people than we know. While looking for a verse, my phone buzzed w...

Strive For Holiness

September 22, 2023 13:32 - 11 minutes - 10.2 MB

Strive For Holiness Hebrews 12:14 “Strive for peace with everyone, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord.” Striving for holiness is something I have been hearing a lot about over the last few years. It is an interesting phrase that I don’t think many people think about. If you were to ask people if they were striving for holiness, I am not sure they would say yes. I don’t think this is because we don’t want holiness. I think it is because we just never really thought ...

Keep asking! Nothing Is Too Big or Too Small!

September 21, 2023 11:59 - 10 minutes - 9.7 MB

Keep asking! Nothing Is Too Big or Too Small! 1 Samuel 9:16 “Tomorrow about this time I will send to you a man from the land of Benjamin, and you shall anoint him to be ruler over my people Israel. He shall save my people from the hand of the Philistines, for I have seen the suffering of my people because their outcry has come to me.” What stood out to me when I read this verse was the very last line. In this verse, God is talking to Samuel right before Saul shows up. God said that He will...

Witness Wednesday #78 Catherine (ACTS retreat)

September 20, 2023 13:20 - 10 minutes - 10 MB

CLICK HERE for retreat info. Today, I will give my witness about the ACTS retreat I went on this weekend. One of the things that makes the ACTS retreat different and special is that you don’t know what to expect, and everything is a surprise. So, although I will be witnessing my experience, I won’t talk about what we did at the retreat as that is a well-guarded secret that I will keep out of respect for the ACTS community and out of respect for those who may be listening that want to go on ...

We Have Redemption and Forgiveness of Sins!

September 19, 2023 13:36 - 10 minutes - 9.35 MB

We Have Redemption and Forgiveness of Sins! Colossians 1:13-14 “ He has rescued us from the power of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.” Original sin came about when Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit.  This means sin entered into our hearts. The power of darkness had more of a hold on us, and our hearts were more attuned to sin.  However, when Jesus came and died for us, He rescued us from the power of da...

I have a special guest for today’s devotional.  Today's devotional is from my new friend Whitney for those who didn’t hear the Witness Wednesday yesterday. Whitney feels called to ministry, so she asked her pastor if she could do the sermon this week, and he said yes. She posted it for her sisters in Christ to listen to it on our mentoring page, and I thought it was great, so I asked if I could share it with a...

Why Self-Control Is So Important!

September 12, 2023 10:17 - 11 minutes - 10.2 MB

Why Self-Control Is So Important!  1 Corinthians 9:25-27 “Every athlete exercises discipline in every way. They do it to win a perishable crown, but we, an imperishable one. Thus, I do not run aimlessly; I do not fight as if I were shadowboxing. No, I drive my body and train it for fear that, after having preached to others, I myself should be disqualified.” Yesterday I was talking about the gifts of the Holy Spirit, and I mentioned the book set my mom bought me. I grabbed one of the books...

The Fruits Of The Spirit

September 11, 2023 13:10 - 8 minutes - 8.23 MB

The Fruits of the Spirit Colossians 1:9-10 “For this reason, since the day we heard it, we have not ceased praying for you and asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of God’s will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, as you bear fruit in every good work and as you grow in the knowledge of God.” I was at a conference this weekend on Saturday, and the speaker, Walter Matthews, talked about this verse. He started ...

All Sins Are Not Created Equal 1 John 5:15-17 “ If you see your brother or sister committing what is not a deadly sin, you will ask, and God will give life to such a one—to those whose sin is not deadly. There is sin that is deadly; I do not say that you should pray about that. All wrongdoing is sin, but there is sin that is not deadly." I was listening to Father Mike the other day, and he was talking about mortal sins vs. venial sins.  I have heard the distinction between the two before, ...

The Unforgivable Sin! Matthew 12:31-32 "Therefore I tell you, people will be forgiven for every sin and blasphemy, but blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.  Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come.” This verse was addressed on the Catechism of the Catholic Church in a Year podcast this morning. When I heard it, I thought it was a great reminder of w...

Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded y...

The Darkness Will Not Overtake You!

September 04, 2023 09:54 - 9 minutes - 8.77 MB

The Darkness Will Not Overtake You! John 1:5 “ The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overtake it.” I read this the other day on someone’s Facebook post and knew I had to use it.  I know so many of us need to hear this right now.  The darkness you are feeling will not overtake you.  This is one of those verses we need to write on a sticky note or an index card and place somewhere we will see it often.  I feel like there are so many verses in the Bible for us to stand on...

The God of Abundance 2 Corinthians 9:8 "And God is able to provide you with every blessing in abundance so that by always having enough of everything, you may share abundantly in every good work. Today’s episode will be a bit different.  Yesterday, I was listening to a recording of my prayer group meeting from June 29th.  I was not there as I was in Maine celebrating my parents’ 60th wedding anniversary.  We begin each prayer group meeting with a short teaching.  When I heard the scripture...

All about the Angels John 1:51 “And he said to him, “Very truly, I tell you, you will see heaven opened and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man.” I saw a Bible verse yesterday on Facebook for John 1:5 “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it.” When I saw this, I thought that would be the verse for today.  Then, when I read the chapter of John 1 today, the story of Nathanael stuck out to me instead.  I was going to write about his st...

The Eucharist

August 29, 2023 10:45 - 11 minutes - 10.2 MB

The Eucharist John 6:48-51 “I am the bread of life. Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. This is the bread that comes down from heaven so that one may eat of it and not die.  I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats of this bread will live forever, and the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.” Today’s verse is a difficult teaching.  It is one that turned a lot of those following Jesus away from Him.  They could not co...

Gossip Is Like Poison

August 28, 2023 14:08 - 9 minutes - 8.62 MB

Gossip Is Like Poison Proverbs 16:28 “A perverse person spreads strife, and a whisperer separates close friends.” What came to mind when I heard this verse was gossip.  I know I have talked about this before, and yet I think we can’t really over-emphasize how bad gossiping is.  We tend to think it is not that bad because you are just talking amongst your friends or family members, so the other person will never find out.  We think we have a right to sometimes as if we are just stating how ...
