Witness Wednesday #96 Catherine D.

January 24, 2024 10:55 - 6 minutes - 5.68 MB

We have all seen God working in our lives, however, we might not all be aware it is God who is working in our lives.  This is why it is so important we start talking about it more.  The more we share our experiences, the more people understand how God works and how much He truly loves us.  If you would be willing to share any experience you have had of how God has worked or is working your life, please email me at [email protected] or just click here.  It won’t take up m...

You Are Not Who You Were

January 23, 2024 13:16 - 9 minutes - 8.47 MB

You Are Not Who You Were Romans 3:23-24 “For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard. Yet God, in his grace, freely makes us right in his sight. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty of our sins.” We have all done things in the past that we are not proud of, and sometimes we get stuck thinking about those things. We replay them over and over again in our minds and think about how different our lives would be if we had not done them. So...

Private Audience

January 22, 2024 05:29 - 10 minutes - 10 MB

A Private Audience  Psalm 18:4-6 “The hangman’s noose was tight at my throat; devil waters rushed over me. Hell’s ropes cinched me tight; death traps barred every exit. A hostile world! I call to God. I cry to God to help me. From his palace, he hears my call; my cry brings me right into his presence—a private audience!" I loved this verse because it is something most, if not all, of us can relate to. I also like it because it is in words and phrases that we can actually picture. Most of u...

The Bedrock Under My Feet

January 19, 2024 12:12 - 9 minutes - 8.89 MB

The Bedrock Under My Feet  Psalm 18:1-2 " I love you, God—you make me strong. God is the bedrock under my feet, the castle in which I live, my rescuing knight. My God—the high crag where I run for dear life, hiding behind the boulders, safe in the granite hideout.” Psalm 18 was brought up twice in prayer group today. It was not these verses; however, when I started reading the whole chapter, I fell in love, especially with the beginning. I will take a few days to focus on this Psalm. I am ...

You Get Out What You Put In

January 18, 2024 13:25 - 13 minutes - 12.3 MB

You Get Out What You Put In 2 Corinthians 9:6-8 “Here’s my point. A stingy sower will reap a meager harvest, but the one who sows from a generous spirit will reap an abundant harvest. Let giving flow from your heart, not from a sense of religious duty. Let it spring up freely from the joy of giving—all because God loves hilarious generosity! Yes, God is more than ready to overwhelm you with every form of grace so that you will have more than enough of everything —every moment and in every w...

Guard Your Heart and Mind

January 16, 2024 13:19 - 11 minutes - 10.9 MB

Guard Your Heart and Mind Proverbs 4:23-25 “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.  Keep your mouth free of perversity; keep corrupt talk far from your lips.  Let your eyes look straight ahead; fix your gaze directly before you.” I really like these verses. I don’t think we realize how important it is to do what they say. Did you know it was important to guard your heart and mind? Did you know when it talks about the heart in the Bible, it also talks about y...

First Things First

January 15, 2024 07:18 - 9 minutes - 8.87 MB

First Things First Genesis 4:3-5 “ In the course of time Cain brought to the Lord an offering of the fruit of the ground, and Abel for his part brought of the firstlings of his flock, their fat portions. And the Lord had regard for Abel and his offering,  but for Cain and his offering, he had no regard. So Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell.” I heard Father Mike talking about this story the other day, and it really made me think. The Bible really doesn’t say why the Lord had reg...

Be Bold!!

January 12, 2024 11:05 - 9 minutes - 9.14 MB

Be Bold! Deuteronomy 31:7-8 “Then Moses summoned Joshua and said to him in the sight of all Israel: “Be strong and bold, for you are the one who will go with this people into the land that the Lord has sworn to their ancestors to give them; and you will put them in possession of it. It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not fail you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed.” I thought it was interesting that this was a verse that I read this morning. Yesterday ...

I Waited and Waited and Waited

January 11, 2024 13:32 - 8 minutes - 7.96 MB

I Waited and Waited and Waited  Psalm 40:1 “I waited and waited and waited some more, patiently, knowing God would come through for me. Then, at last, he bent down and listened to my cry.” This verse came from a good friend of mine in England. I posted on Facebook that I am trying something new this year. I decided I wanted to learn more Bible verses. So, what a few of my friends do is they pick a verse for each week of the year. Or, they have their friends and family give them verses for ...

God Can Accomplish Far More Than We Can Imagine

January 09, 2024 14:37 - 10 minutes - 9.29 MB

God Can Accomplish Far More Than We Can Imagine Ephesians 3:20-21 “Now to him who is able to accomplish far more than all we ask or imagine, by the power at work within us,  to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.” Wow, that first line is something I think we all need to hear again. “Now to him who is able to accomplish far more than all we ask or imagine.” What have you been asking the Lord for lately? Does it seem like you are asking ...

Inexpressible and Glorious Joy

January 08, 2024 12:40 - 9 minutes - 8.45 MB

Inexpressible and Glorious Joy 1 Peter 1:8-9 “Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy,  for you are receiving the end result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.” I asked my friend to choose a verse for me while I was at a retreat.  She chose this one. I am not sure I knew this one, and yet I love it.  I know I say that a lot.  It is true God is so good, and there are...

A Refiner's Fire

January 05, 2024 14:38 - 11 minutes - 10.3 MB

A Refiner’s Fire 1 Peter 1:6-7 "I know how great this makes you feel, even though you have to put up with every kind of aggravation in the meantime. Pure gold put in the fire comes out of it proved pure; genuine faith put through this suffering comes out proved genuine. When Jesus wraps this all up, it’s your faith, not your gold, that God will have on display as evidence of his victory.” In Tuesday’s episode, we talked about 1 Peter 1:6-7. This verse ends with, “The Day is coming when you...

CLICK HERE TO JOIN Do you want to grow closer to the Lord?  Have you ever desired a more personal relationship with the Lord? How great would it be to incorporate your spirituality into your daily routines? Have you ever been around people who seem so in love with the Lord and longed for that same relationship?

What A God We Have!

January 02, 2024 13:16 - 9 minutes - 8.72 MB

What A God We Have! 1 Peter 1:3-5 What a God we have! And how fortunate we are to have him, this Father of our Master Jesus! Because Jesus was raised from the dead, we’ve been given a brand-new life and have everything to live for, including a future in heaven—and the future starts now! God is keeping careful watch over us and the future. The Day is coming when you’ll have it all—life healed and whole. Today we are continuing on with 1 Peter 1. I love how today’s verse starts off by saying...

Not One Is Missing, Not One Forgotten

January 01, 2024 12:20 - 11 minutes - 10.8 MB

Not One Is Missing, Not One Forgotten 1 Peter 1:1-2 "I, Peter, am an apostle on assignment by Jesus, the Messiah, writing to exiles scattered to the four winds. Not one is missing, not one forgotten. God the Father has his eye on each of you and has determined by the work of the Spirit to keep you obedient through the sacrifice of Jesus. May everything good from God be yours!” I started to finish an episode that I started over a year ago. Someone had given me the verse, and I guess I never...

Tiny Steps of Trust Daily

December 29, 2023 13:21 - 12 minutes - 11.6 MB

Tiny Steps of Trust Daily Psalm 56:3-4 “But in the day that I'm afraid, I lay all my fears before you and trust in you with all my heart. What harm could a man bring to me? With God on my side, I will not be afraid of what comes.” Today I decided to read from the Jesus Calling Devotional. I have not done that in a while; I am not sure why. For those of you who don’t know, this is a devotional book written as if God is speaking to you each day. It is really good and often says exactly what ...

God Will Walk Among Us!!!

December 28, 2023 11:49 - 12 minutes - 11.2 MB

God Will Walk Among Us!!! Revelation 21:3-4 “And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” This morning, I asked Tony if he had a verse for me, and he gave me this one. His friend Phil...

Witness Wednesday #92 My Christmas

December 27, 2023 14:01 - 7 minutes - 6.87 MB

Today, I want to witness about Christmas. This year my sister Dee moved back to CT and bought a new house. She had a Christmas Eve party because my aunt used to have one each year, but she is now moving to FL. I went to Dee’s house on Christmas Eve alone as my family wanted to chill out at home. Well, Sam & Noah were both working. It was great to see my parents, Dee, my sister Suzy & her husband John, two of her boys and her granddaughter, and then my sister Theresa and her husband Glenn. We...

Help! My Heart And Mind Are Fighting Each Other!

December 26, 2023 14:30 - 9 minutes - 8.46 MB

Help! My Heart And Mind Are Fighting Each Other! Psalm 25:16-17 “Look at me and help me! I’m all alone and in big trouble. My heart and mind are fighting each other; Call a truce to this civil war.” Today, it was hard to pick a verse. I thought I would be writing about Isaiah 35, as my friend wrote to me last week and asked me if I take requests for the podcast. She had read Isaiah 35, and it was really hitting her. She was feeling all the feels, and she wanted to see what I thought about ...

God Claims All Who Were Rejected!

December 22, 2023 13:51 - 10 minutes - 9.88 MB

God Claims All Who Were Rejected! Romans 9:25-26 “Remember the prophecy God gave in Hosea: “To those who were rejected and not my people, I will say to them: ‘You are mine.’ And to those who were unloved, I will say: ‘You are my darling.’ And: “In the place where they were told, ‘You are nobody,’ this will be the very place where they will be renamed ‘Children of the living God.’” Today I was going to go back to the end of Romans 8 and talk about God’s love again. I love to talk about God’...

Chapter 2: The Power of a Prayer Journal

December 21, 2023 13:37 - 16 minutes - 15.4 MB

The Power of a Prayer Journal For Christmas, in 2005, my uncle Jeano gave me a notebook. Inside the notebook was a letter from him that explained all about spiritual journaling/prayer journaling. I had never done prayer journaling before, and my first thought was that it was for people who were holier than me. I am sure you can start to see this recurring theme in my thoughts. I tend to feel like I am not holy enough to do all these different things. I am not sure why it took so long to rea...

Nothing In This Universe Has The Power To Diminish God's Love Towards Us!

December 19, 2023 14:22 - 9 minutes - 9.15 MB

Nothing In This Universe Has The Power To Diminish God's Love Towards Us! Romans 8:35 “Who could ever divorce us from the endless love of God’s Anointed One? Absolutely no one! For nothing in the universe has the power to diminish his love toward us. Troubles, pressures, and problems are unable to come between us and heaven’s love. What about persecutions, deprivations, dangers, and death threats? No, for they are all impotent to hinder omnipotent love.” This is the passion translation aga...

God Has Infinitely More For You Than Your Most Unbelievable Dream!

December 18, 2023 15:07 - 14 minutes - 13.1 MB

God Has Infinitely More For You Than Your Most Unbelievable Dream! Ephesians 3:20 “Never doubt God's mighty power to work in you. He will achieve infinitely more than your greatest request, your most unbelievable dream, and exceed your wildest imagination! He will outdo them all, for his miraculous power constantly energizes you.” I know I have mentioned it before, yet I will say it again. I really love the passion translation. It gets the point of the verse across in a very passionate way...

Discipline & The Seven Deadly Sins

December 15, 2023 15:12 - 13 minutes - 12.5 MB

Discipline & The Seven Deadly Sins Proverbs 5:21-23 "For your ways are in full view of the Lord, and he examines all your paths. The evil deeds of the wicked ensnare them; the cords of their sins hold them fast. For lack of discipline, they will die, led astray by their own great folly.” Today I couldn’t seem to come up with a verse for the episode. This is unusual, although it does happen sometimes. I decided to go to the proverbs since that is a book full of instructions on how we should...

The Same Way The Fruit Appears In An Orchard

December 14, 2023 13:48 - 12 minutes - 11.7 MB

The Same Way Fruit Appears In An Orchard Galatians 5:22-23 “ But what happens when we live God’s way? He brings gifts into our lives, much the same way that fruit appears in an orchard—things like affection for others, exuberance about life, serenity. We develop a willingness to stick with things, a sense of compassion in the heart, and a conviction that a basic holiness permeates things and people. We find ourselves involved in loyal commitments, not needing to force our way in life, able ...

What Is A Life Verse?

December 12, 2023 14:29 - 12 minutes - 11.3 MB

What Is A Life Verse? Isaiah 50:4-5 “The Lord God has given me a well-trained tongue, That I might know how to answer the weary a word that will waken them. Morning after morning, he wakens my ear to hear as disciples do; The Lord God opened my ear; I did not refuse, did not turn away.” While at Encounter Ministries class last night, I was talking with a fellow student. We were talking about how excited we get at the beginning of the year and how much we love a good planner. I don’t really...

An Orphan Spirit, What Is That?

December 11, 2023 13:12 - 11 minutes - 10.8 MB

An Orphan Spirit, What Is That?  John 14:18 "I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.” This is the verse immediately following the verses I covered in the last episode. I originally had it included in that episode but wanted to take it out so I would have some time to devote to just this verse. In our encounter ministry class last year, we talked a lot about healing. We had a whole eight weeks on physical healing and eight weeks on inner healing. One of the things that came up a l...

The Advocate!

December 08, 2023 14:31 - 11 minutes - 10.3 MB

The Advocate! John 14:16-17 “And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate to be with you always,  the Spirit of truth, which the world cannot accept because it neither sees nor knows it. But you know it because it remains with you and will be in you.” Jesus is talking in this verse. He is telling us that when He goes to be with the Father, He will ask His Father, and God will send us another Advocate to be with us always. Jesus’ plan wasn’t to come and walk among us, te...

Where Does My Help Come From?

December 07, 2023 14:02 - 13 minutes - 12.2 MB

Where Does My Help Come From? Psalm 121:1-2 “I lift up my eyes to the mountains— where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.” I heard this verse while I was listening to the Big Life Devotional by Pamela Crim yesterday, and I instantly thought of this song. The song is called Shoulders by for King and Country. I will place a link for the song in the show notes if you want to give it a listen. It is a really good song, so I do recommend checking...

Witness Wednesday #89 Lauren Daigle

December 06, 2023 05:04 - 8 minutes - 7.49 MB

Today’s witness is a recount of one that I heard yesterday on YouTube. I will put a link to this testimony video in the show notes. The testimony is about Lauren Daigle. Lauren talked about how when she was a teenager the Lord showed her what her future would look like. He showed her stages, He showed her exactly what her Lauren Daigle World Tour would look like. She didn’t know what he was showing her, but she could see crowds of people and tour buses and charts and awards and all the thing...

Why Share Words of Prophecy?

December 05, 2023 13:50 - 10 minutes - 9.96 MB

Why Share Words Of Prophecy? 1 Corinthians 14:3 “He who prophesies speaks to men for their upbuilding and encouragement and consolation.” I have been talking more lately about hearing the Lord’s voice and how if we keep giving the Lord a chance to talk to us, then He will. Last night was a really exciting class at Encounter School of Ministry Boston Campus. Both year one and year two students were practicing receiving and sharing words of prophecy. It is always a lot of fun and also a bit ...

Our Father's Love (Part 13) Why Praise Is So Important

December 04, 2023 12:22 - 11 minutes - 10.2 MB

Our Father's Love (Part 13) Why Praise Is So Important Psalm 103:22 “I will bless and praise the Lord with my whole heart! Let all his works throughout the earth, wherever his dominion stretches—let everything bless the Lord!” This is the last episode in this series. I have really enjoyed taking a look at this psalm and breaking it down to examine it. I have not actually spent a lot of time in the Psalms, and it was beautiful to take the time to go through Psalm 103. Today’s topic is one o...

Our Father’s Love (Part 12) Trust Enough To Ask For The Impossible

November 30, 2023 13:22 - 11 minutes - 10.8 MB

Our Father’s Love (Part 12) Trust Enough To Ask For The Impossible  Psalm 103: 19 “Yahweh has established his throne in heaven; his kingdom rules the entire universe.” God has established his throne in heaven. This doesn’t mean that is where He stays. His kingdom rules the entire universe. There is nothing that the Lord can’t reach. I think we forget this sometimes. We know God is all-powerful and all-sovereign, and then sometimes we are having trouble with something, and we don’t ask God ...

Witness Wednesday #88 ESM Boston Nov. Healing Service

November 29, 2023 12:30 - 8 minutes - 7.78 MB

Today the witness will be about the recent Encounter School of Ministry Boston Campus Healing Service that I attended.  We witnessed many miraculous healings. The Holy Spirit always shows up where He is invited, welcomed, and expected. We always expect Him to show up at the healing services, and He does not disappoint us.  Today I will relay some of those miracles to you. There was one young lady who had several heart issues and was going to need a heart transplant in the future. She felt a...

November 28, 2023 14:16 - 8 minutes - 7.95 MB

Our Father’s Love (Part 11) Endless Love, Unbroken and Unrelenting Psalm 103:17-18 “But Lord, your endless love stretches from one eternity to the other, unbroken and unrelenting toward those who fear you and those who bow facedown in awe before you. Your faithfulness to keep every gracious promise you’ve made passes from parents to children, to grandchildren, and beyond. You are faithful to all those who follow your ways and keep your word.” Today’s verse is uplifting, especially after ye...

Our Father’s Love (Part 10) What If This Time, Was The Last Time?

November 27, 2023 06:27 - 10 minutes - 9.24 MB

Our Father’s Love (Part 10) What If This Time, Was The Last Time? Psalm 103:15-16 “Our days are so few, and our momentary beauty so swiftly fades away! Then all of a sudden, we’re gone, like grass clippings blown away in a gust of wind, taken away to our appointment with death, leaving nothing to show that we were here.” Wow, I was surprised to read that when I sat down to write this episode. It is something we all know, and yet we really don’t like to think about it. It is also strange th...

Our Father’s Love (Part 9) Can We Be Angry With God?

November 24, 2023 06:46 - 10 minutes - 9.59 MB

Our Father’s Love (Part 9) Can We Be Angry With God? Psalm 103:13-14 “The same way a loving father feels toward his children—that’s but a sample of your tender feelings toward us, your beloved children, who live in awe of you. You know all about us, inside and out. You are mindful that we’re made from dust.” This verse probably means different things to different people. I can feel the love and tender feelings that our heavenly Father has for us because I know how loving fathers can be. I ...

Our Father’s Love (Part 8) Get Intimately Familiar With The Real One

November 23, 2023 05:00 - 11 minutes - 10.2 MB

Our Father’s Love (Part 8) Get Intimately Familiar With The Real One  Psalm 103:12 “Farther than from a sunrise to a sunset, that's how far you've removed our guilt from us.” Today’s verse goes right along with the past few days, and yet it confirms it a bit stronger. For the last few days, I have been talking about God’s love and God’s mercy. We now know how much God loves us. We know He is not just sitting in heaven waiting for us to mess up so he can punish us. We know he does disciplin...

Witness Wednesday #87 Eucharistic Procession

November 22, 2023 13:50 - 11 minutes - 10.7 MB

Today’s witness Wednesday will be a bit different than usual. Today I am going to read you two blog posts written by Father David Barnes.  He was the Spiritual Director at St. John’s Seminary in Boston in 2014 when these posts were written. He was ordained a priest of the Archdiocese of Boston in 1997. The two blog posts were written about a Eucharist procession that took place in 2014 from MIT to Harvard. It was in response to a “black mass” which was to be held that same night and the admi...

Our Father’s Love (Part 7) God’s Mercy Extends Higher Than The Highest Heavens

November 21, 2023 13:44 - 13 minutes - 12.3 MB

Our Father’s Love (Part 7) God’s Mercy Extends Higher Than The Highest Heavens Psalm 103:10-11 “You may discipline us for our many sins, but never as much as we really deserve. Nor do you get even with us for what we’ve done. Higher than the highest heavens – that's how high your tender mercy extends! Greater than the grandeur of heaven above is the greatness of your loyal love, towering over all who fear you and bow down before you!” Yesterday I talked about how much God loves us. I talke...

Our Father's Love (Part 6) God Is So Kind, Tenderhearted, and Patient!

November 20, 2023 14:26 - 9 minutes - 9.05 MB

God Is So Kind, Tenderhearted, and Patient! Psalm 103:8-9 “Lord, you’re so kind and tenderhearted and so patient with people who fail you! Your love is like a flooding river overflowing its banks with kindness. You don’t look at us only to find our faults just so that you can hold a grudge against us.” Today’s verses are ones I think we all need to hear over and over again. They speak such truths in them, yet they are often forgotten, or we simply don’t believe them. The first line says, “...

Our Father's Love (Part 5) "Giving Justice To The Defenseless"
