Secrets to Hearing God

by

While on vacation, Bethany was speeding down a California freeway with three teenage friends. One of them, Jody, said she had dreamed the night before that they were in a serious wreck and that she, the only one with a fastened seat belt on, had survived. Hearing that, everyone fastened their seat belts. Later, their car swerved into the grass median and rolled. The investigating officer looked at the car and said, “If you hadn’t had your seat belts on, the outcome would have been a lot different.” Where did Jody’s dream come from? 1. In this weeks podcast, we will take a look at some of the other ways God communicates through His use of dreams and visions.

#S2-002: Secrets to Hearing God: Are You Waiting? [Podcast]

Secrets to Hearing God

by

In close connection with listening to God is the idea of “waiting on God.” People are hindered from receiving direction from God simply because they are not waiting around long enough to hear what He has to say. We are religiously praying instead of spiritually listening. Waiting to hear is part of the prayer discipline.

#S2-001: Secrets to Hearing God: Are You Listening? [Podcast]

Secrets to Hearing God

by

Welcome to Season 2 of Light on Life. You can listen to Season 1 Podcasts here.

This story on listening is an appropriate intro into our new series on learning to hear God’s voice.

Barbara, five, had disobeyed me and was sent to her room. After a few minutes, I went in to talk with her about what she had done. Teary-eyed, she asked, “Why do we do wrong things, Mommy?” “Sometimes the Devil tells us to do something wrong, and we listen to him,” I said. “We need to listen to God instead.” “But God doesn’t talk loud enough!” she wailed 1.

How loud God speaks is not the determining factor in hearing Him. Knowing how to listen is so much more vital. Here are some tips to helping you hear your Father God in your everyday life.

This is part 1 of the Series ‘Secrets to Hearing God’ You can find Part Two ‘Secrets to Hearing God: Are You Waiting?’ here.

#051: Why Should You Take Another Look at the Prodigal Son? [Podcast]

by

In Luke 15, Jesus presents 3 pictures of reconciliation. Chapter 15 is actually one parable told three different ways. Jesus tells the story of the lost sheep. He adds to that the story of the lost coin. He finishes it off with the story of the lost son. The three stories are actually one parable.  The parable was spoken because of these words uttered by the religious leaders who opposed Jesus, “This man receives sinners and eats with them.” The Pharisees and scribes were taking Jesus to task over His pursuit of sinners. With that in mind, let us take a look at the prodigal son.

#050: More How to Cultivate God’s Presence in Your Life [Podcast]

by

Psalm 91 is famous for the comfort it brings to the children of God. Verse one is a declaration about God’s Presence. “He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I don’t know about you, but I sure like the sound of abiding under God’s shadow or presence. But there is even more good news. The Psalmist also declares that in God’s presence there is fulness of joy (Psalm 16:11). Joy, peace, and protection, what more can you ask for? And it all comes from His Presence. This week we are going to continue the podcast we began last week on “How to Cultivate God’s Presence in Your Life.”

#049: How to Cultivate Gods Presence in Your Life [Podcast]

by

The world is perishing for lack of the knowledge of God and the Church is famishing for want of His Presence. The instant cure of most of our religious ills would be to enter the Presence in spiritual experience, to become suddenly aware that we are in God and that God is in us. This would lift us out of our pitiful narrowness and cause our hearts to be enlarged 1. These are penetrating words from the pen of Tozer. Does your heart agree with these words? Do you hunger and crave the Presence of God? This is the first of a two part post on this important aspect of life in the Spirit.

#047: What Happens to a Person When They Die? [Podcast]

by

Today’s post is in answer to the following question which came in. If you have a question you would like answered, please consider making contact. We would love to hear from you. Here is the question.

“Would you please answer this question for us or if you have something already written on this subject would you please send it to us. What happens when a person dies? If a Christian dies what happens after they die and when an unsaved person dies what happens? We know what the Bible says about death but some ministers teach that saved Christian’s when they die they lay in a state of unconsciousness until the rapture. While others teach that the saved Christians go immediately with the Lord and are rejoicing with Christ on the streets of gold and the unsaved are burning in hell.” – Cotia & Ford
