Matthew 12:38-41 https://worldnewsdailyreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/giant-shark.jpg https://worldnewsdailyreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/shark-tooth.jpg https://i.ytimg.com/vi/zeQMqUMvIeY/hqdefault.jpg 1Now the word of the Lord came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, 2“Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry out against it; for their wickedness has come up before Me.” 3But Jonah arose to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord. He went down to Joppa, and found a ship going to Tarshish; so he paid the fare, and went down into it, to go with them to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord.

And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights. Jonah 1:17 3. We Can Ask God For A Second Chance! 1Now the word of the Lord came to Jonah the second time, saying, 2“Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and preach to it the message that I tell you.” 3So Jonah arose and went to Nineveh, according to the word of the Lord. Jonah 3:1-3a 41The men of Nineveh will rise up in the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and indeed a greater than Jonah is here.

Elkanah Chose To Take A Bold Stand For God, When Others Would Not. "In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes." Judges 21:25 “The most important one,” answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. 30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’” Mark 12:29, 30 (NIV) Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven. 33 But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven. Matthew 10:32, 33 NKJV “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it." Matthew 7:13, 14 (NIV) Year after year this man went up from his town to worship and sacrifice to the Lord Almighty at Shiloh, where Hophni and Phinehas, the two sons of Eli, were priests of the Lord. 1 Samuel 1:3 #2. Elkanah Stood CONSISTENTLY For God. He Was Consistent In His Worship of God. “Consistent” means, “firm, steady, regular, ongoing, unaltered, continually practiced.” "When He came to the village of Nazareth, His boyhood home, He went as usual to the synagogue on the Sabbath and stood up to read the Scriptures." Luke 4:16 NLT "Not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another — and all the more as you see the Day approaching." Hebrews 10:25 NIV "One day Peter and John went to the Temple at three o’clock, the time set each day for the afternoon prayer service." Acts 3:1 NCV #3. Elkanah Stood CONFIDENTLY and EXPECTANTLY With FAITH In God! This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. 9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:8-9 Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful; But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he meditates day and night. He shall be like a tree Planted by the rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper. Psalms 1:1-3 Delight yourself also in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart. Psalms 37:4 Those who are planted in the house of the Lord Shall flourish in the courts of our God. They shall still bear fruit in old age; They shall be fresh and flourishing. Psalms 92:13-14   https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2016-04-03_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 04 Apr 2016 15:00:00 GMT 44:41 The Power of Personal Choices - Pt. 2 Teryl Todd Lesson # 2 - Hannah's Choice #2 “Hannah’s Choice” Now there was a certain man of Ramathaim Zophim, of the mountains of Ephraim, and his name was Elkanah… 2 And he had two wives: the name of one was Hannah, and the name of the other Peninnah. Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children. 3 This man went up from his city yearly to worship and sacrifice to the Lord of hosts in Shiloh... 4 And whenever the time came for Elkanah to make an offering, he would give portions to Peninnah his wife and to all her sons and daughters. 5 But to Hannah he would give a double portion, for he loved Hannah, although the Lord had closed her womb. 6 And her rival also provoked her severely, to make her miserable, because the Lord had closed her womb. 7 So it was, year by year, when she went up to the house of the Lord, that she provoked her; therefore she wept and did not eat. 1 Samuel 1:1-7 Three Choices That Hannah Made: #1. The First Choice Hannah Made Was To Overcome Anger and Bitterness. This change of plans greatly upset Jonah, and he became very angry. 2 So he complained to the Lord about it: “Didn’t I say before I left home that you would do this, Lord? That is why I ran away to Tarshish! I knew that you are a merciful and compassionate God, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love. You are eager to turn back from destroying people. 3 Just kill me now, Lord! I’d rather be dead than alive if what I predicted will not happen.” Jonah 4:1-3 NLT #2. The Second Choice Hannah Made Was To Overcome Fear! 35 As evening came, Jesus said to his disciples, “Let’s cross to the other side of the lake.” 36 So they took Jesus in the boat and started out, leaving the crowds behind (although other boats followed). 37 But soon a fierce storm came up. High waves were breaking into the boat, and it began to fill with water. 38 Jesus was sleeping at the back of the boat with his head on a cushion. The disciples woke him up, shouting, “Teacher, don’t you care that we’re going to drown?” 39 When Jesus woke up, he rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Silence! Be still!” Suddenly the wind stopped, and there was a great calm. 40 Then he asked them, “Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith?” Mark 4:35-40 NIV There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. We love because he first loved us. 1 John 4:18-19 NIV “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” 6 So we say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?” Hebrews 13:5-6 25 Joshua said to them, “Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Be strong and courageous. Joshua 10:25 NIV The Lord is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life— of whom shall I be afraid? When the wicked advance against me to devour me, it is my enemies and my foes who will stumble and fall. Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear; though war break out against me, even then I will be confident. Psalms 27:1-3 NIV #3. Hannah Choose To Fight Despair! For we do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, of our trouble which came to us in Asia: that we were burdened beyond measure, above strength, so that we despaired even of life. 2 Corinthians 1:8   https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2016-04-10_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 11 Apr 2016 12:00:00 GMT 47:45 The Human Right to Know Jesus Zach Barnes Abide, Abandon, Advocate 1. Abide 4 Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me. 5 I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing. John 15:4-5 2. Abandon 23 And He was saying to them all, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross daily and follow Me. 24 For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake, he is the one who will save it. Luke 9:23-24 3. Advocate 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:19-20 but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth.” Acts 1:8   https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2016-04-17_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 18 Apr 2016 12:00:00 GMT 36:38 The Power of Personal Choices - Pt. 3 Teryl Todd Lesson # 3 - Choose to Change 1 Samuel 1:8-18 And it happened, as she continued praying before the Lord, that Eli watched her mouth. 13 Now Hannah spoke in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard. Therefore Eli thought she was drunk. 14 So Eli said to her, “How long will you be drunk? Put your wine away from you!” 15 But Hannah answered and said, “No, my lord, I am a woman of sorrowful spirit. I have drunk neither wine nor intoxicating drink, but have poured out my soul before the Lord. 16 “Do not consider your maidservant a wicked woman, for out of the abundance of my complaint and grief I have spoken until now.” 17 Then Eli answered and said, “Go in peace, and the God of Israel grant your petition which you have asked of Him.” 1 Samuel 1:12-17 And it happened, as she continued praying before the Lord, that Eli watched her mouth. 13 Now Hannah spoke in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard. Therefore Eli thought she was drunk. 14 So Eli said to her, “How long will you be drunk? Put your wine away from you!” 1 Samuel 1:12-14 But Hannah answered and said, “No, my lord, I am a woman of sorrowful spirit. I have drunk neither wine nor intoxicating drink, but have poured out my soul before the Lord. 16 “Do not consider your maidservant a wicked woman, for out of the abundance of my complaint and grief I have spoken until now.” 1 Samuel 1:15-16 17 Then Eli answered and said, “Go in peace, and the God of Israel grant your petition which you have asked of Him.” 1 Samuel 1:17 Four Reasons To Choose To Change: 1. When CONFRONTED With What Is Right And What Is True. 2. When CONVICTED By The Holy Spirit. “Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own.” 1 Corinthians 6:19 (NIV) 3. When You’re HINDERING or RESISTING Godly Progress. 4. When BY NATURE YOU’RE A Naysaying, Stubborn, and Cantankerous Person.   https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2016-04-24_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 25 Apr 2016 12:00:00 GMT 40:27 The Front Row Life Ryan Kramer Matthew 15 Ryan Kramer's farewell message.   https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2016-05-01_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 02 May 2016 12:00:00 GMT 42:22 The Power of Personal Choices - Pt. 4 Teryl Todd Lesson # 4 - Pray Through Your Pain There was a certain man from Ramathaim, a Zuphite from the hill country of Ephraim, whose name was Elkanah son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephraimite. 2 He had two wives; one was called Hannah and the other Peninnah. Peninnah had children, but Hannah had none. 3 Year after year this man went up from his town to worship and sacrifice to the Lord Almighty at Shiloh, where Hophni and Phinehas, the two sons of Eli, were priests of the Lord. 4 Whenever the day came for Elkanah to sacrifice, he would give portions of the meat to his wife Peninnah and to all her sons and daughters. 5 But to Hannah he gave a double portion because he loved her, and the Lord had closed her womb. 6 Because the Lord had closed Hannah’s womb, her rival kept provoking her in order to irritate her. 7 This went on year after year. Whenever Hannah went up to the house of the Lord, her rival provoked her till she wept and would not eat.8 Her husband Elkanah would say to her, “Hannah, why are you weeping? Why don’t you eat? Why are you downhearted? Don’t I mean more to you than ten sons?” 1 Samuel 1:1-8 NIV 9 Once when they had finished eating and drinking in Shiloh, Hannah stood up. Now Eli the priest was sitting on his chair by the doorpost of the Lord’s house. 10 In her deep anguish Hannah prayed to the Lord, weeping bitterly. 11 And she made a vow, saying, “Lord Almighty, if you will only look on your servant’s misery and remember me, and not forget your servant but give her a son, then I will give him to the Lord for all the days of his life, and no razor will ever be used on his head.” 12 As she kept on praying to the Lord, Eli observed her mouth. 13 Hannah was praying in her heart, and her lips were moving but her voice was not heard. Eli thought she was drunk 14 and said to her, “How long are you going to stay drunk? Put away your wine.” 15 “Not so, my lord,” Hannah replied, “I am a woman who is deeply troubled. I have not been drinking wine or beer; I was pouring out my soul to the Lord. 16 Do not take your servant for a wicked woman; I have been praying here out of my great anguish and grief.” 17 Eli answered, “Go in peace, and may the God of Israel grant you what you have asked of Him.” 18 She said, “May your servant find favor in your eyes.” Then she went her way and ate something, and her face was no longer downcast. 1 Samuel 1:9-18 NIV 1. Pain is PART of LIFE. 2. Your deepest pain is often the PATHWAY to GOD’S GREATEST MIRACLES AND PLANS FOR YOU! And her rival also provoked her severely, to make her miserable, because the Lord had closed her womb. 1 Samuel 1:6 (NKJV) 3. Your RESPONSE to your pain MATTERS. So Hannah arose after they had finished eating and drinking in Shiloh. Now Eli the priest was sitting on the seat by the doorpost of the tabernacle of the Lord. 10 And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed to the Lord and wept in anguish. 11 Then she made a vow and said, “O Lord of hosts, if You will indeed look on the affliction of Your maidservant and remember me, and not forget Your maidservant, but will give Your maidservant a male child, then I will give him to the Lord all the days of his life, and no razor shall come upon his head.” 12 And it happened, as she continued praying before the Lord, that Eli watched her mouth. 13 Now Hannah spoke in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard. Therefore Eli thought she was drunk. 14 So Eli said to her, “How long will you be drunk? Put your wine away from you!” 15 But Hannah answered and said, “No, my lord, I am a woman of sorrowful spirit. I have drunk neither wine nor intoxicating drink, but have poured out my soul before the Lord.16 Do not consider your maidservant a wicked woman, for out of the abundance of my complaint and grief I have spoken until now.” 17 Then Eli answered and said, “Go in peace, and the God of Israel grant your petition which you have asked of Him.” 18 And she said, “Let your maidservant find favor in your sight.” So the woman went her way and ate, and her face was no longer sad. 1 Samuel 1:9-18 (NKJV) When in pain, don’t: ๏ (1) Pretend you don’t feel it. ๏ (2) Make God your enemy. ๏ (3) Waste time and energy complaining to God and others. ๏ (4) Waste time and energy comparing yourself to others. ๏ (5) Become a bitter, angry, disillusioned person with poisoned thoughts and attitudes. When in pain, do: ๏ (1) Be honest about it. ๏ (2) Take your pain to God in genuine, fervent, continued prayer. ๏ (3) Enlist the help of others who pray. ๏ (4) Remember the Holy Spirit is your Helper. He will help you if you ask Him to. And if you will patiently wait for his help. ๏ (5) Surrender your will to God’s will. ๏ (6) Trust God’s nature, promises, ways and timing. ๏ (7) Keep on living and giving. So in the course of time Hannah became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She named him Samuel, saying, “Because I asked the Lord for him.” 1 Samuel 1:20 (NIV   https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2016-05-08_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 09 May 2016 12:00:00 GMT 40:20 The Power of Personal Choices - Pt. 5 Teryl Todd Lesson # 5 - Be A Giver 1 Samuel 1:24-28 After he was weaned, she took the boy with her, young as he was, along with a three-year-old bull, an ephah of flour and a skin of wine, and brought him to the house of the Lord at Shiloh. 25 When the bull had been sacrificed, they brought the boy to Eli, 26and she said to him, “Pardon me, my lord. As surely as you live, I am the woman who stood here beside you praying to the Lord. 27 I prayed for this child, and the Lord has granted me what I asked of Him. 28 So now I give him to the Lord. For his whole life he will be given over to the Lord.” And he worshiped the Lord there. 1 Samuel 1:24-28 NIV Each year his mother made him a little robe and took it to him when she went up with her husband to offer the annual sacrifice. 20 Eli would bless Elkanah and his wife, saying, “May the Lord give you children by this woman to take the place of the one she prayed for and gave to the Lord.” Then they would go home. 21 And the Lord was gracious to Hannah; she gave birth to three sons and two daughters. Meanwhile, the boy Samuel grew up in the presence of the Lord. 1 Samuel 2:19-21 NIV #1. Giving Honors God. Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops; then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine. Proverbs 3:9, 10 (NIV) #2. Giving Is About Trust. Some time later the brook dried up because there had been no rain in the land. 8 Then the word of the Lord came to him: 9 “Go at once to Zarephath in the region of Sidon and stay there. I have directed a widow there to supply you with food.” 10 So he went to Zarephath. When he came to the town gate, a widow was there gathering sticks. He called to her and asked, “Would you bring me a little water in a jar so I may have a drink?” 11 As she was going to get it, he called, “And bring me, please, a piece of bread.” 1 Kings 17:7-11 #3. Giving Is About Obedience To God. 10 So he went to Zarephath. When he came to the town gate, a widow was there gathering sticks. He called to her and asked, “Would you bring me a little water in a jar so I may have a drink?” 11 As she was going to get it, he called, “And bring me, please, a piece of bread.” 12 “As surely as the Lord your God lives,” she replied, “I don’t have any bread — only a handful of flour in a jar and a little olive oil in a jug. I am gathering a few sticks to take home and make a meal for myself and my son, that we may eat it — and die.” 13 Elijah said to her, “Don’t be afraid. Go home and do as you have said. But first make a small loaf of bread for me from what you have and bring it to me, and then make something for yourself and your son. 14 For this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘The jar of flour will not be used up and the jug of oil will not run dry until the day the Lord sends rain on the land.’” 1 Kings 17:10-14 #4. Giving Requires You To Resist Fear. Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, That there may be food in My house, And try Me now in this,” Says the Lord of hosts, “If I will not open for you the windows of heaven And pour out for you such blessing That there will not be room enough to receive it. “And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, So that he will not destroy the fruit of your ground, Nor shall the vine fail to bear fruit for you in the field,” Says the Lord of hosts; “And all nations will call you blessed, For you will be a delightful land,” Says the Lord of hosts. Malachi 3:10-12 NKJV "Elijah said to her, “Don’t be afraid. Go home and do as you have said. But first make a small loaf of bread for me from what you have and bring it to me, and then make something for yourself and your son.” 1 Kings 17:13 "For this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘The jar of flour will not be used up and the jug of oil will not run dry until the day the Lord sends rain on the land.’” 15 She went away and did as Elijah had told her... 1 Kings 17:14-15a #5. We Often Give Out Of Our Need and Not Just From Our Abundance. While Jesus was in the Temple, he watched the rich people dropping their gifts in the collection box. 2 Then a poor widow came by and dropped in two small coins. 3 “I tell you the truth,” Jesus said, “this poor widow has given more than all the rest of them. 4 For they have given a tiny part of their surplus, but she, poor as she is, has given everything she has.” Luke 21:1-4 NLT She went away and did as Elijah had told her. So there was food every day for Elijah and for the woman and her family. 16 For the jar of flour was not used up and the jug of oil did not run dry, in keeping with the word of the Lord spoken by Elijah. 1 Kings 17:15-16(NIV) #6. When We Give First, We Activate The Miracle Supply of God Flowing Back Into Our Lives! 38 Give, and you will receive. Your gift will return to you in full—pressed down, shaken together to make room for more, running over, and poured into your lap. The amount you give will determine the amount you get back.” Luke 6:38 NLT   https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2016-05-15_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 16 May 2016 12:00:00 GMT 55:50 The Power of Personal Choices - Pt. 6 Teryl Todd Lesson # 6 - Choose Hope For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11 NKJV I alone know the plans I have for you, plans to bring you prosperity and not disaster, plans to bring about the future you hope for. Jeremiah 29:1 GNT For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the LORD, ‘plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope.' Jeremiah 29:11 NAS For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11 NIV For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Jeremiah 29:11 KJV For I know the plans I have for you,” says the LORD. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11 NLT I know what I’m doing. I have it all planned out—plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for. Jeremiah 29:11 MSG Now these are the words of the letter that Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem to the remainder of the elders who were carried away captive—to the priests, the prophets, and all the people whom Nebuchadnezzar had carried away captive from Jerusalem to Babylon. Jeremiah 29:1 NKJV 4 Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, to all who were carried away captive, whom I have caused to be carried away from Jerusalem to Babylon: 5 Build houses and dwell in them; plant gardens and eat their fruit. 6Take wives and beget sons and daughters; and take wives for your sons and give your daughters to husbands, so that they may bear sons and daughters—that you may be increased there, and not diminished. 7And seek the peace of the city where I have caused you to be carried away captive, and pray to the Lord for it; for in its peace you will have peace. 8For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Do not let your prophets and your diviners who are in your midst deceive you, nor listen to your dreams which you cause to be dreamed. 9For they prophesy falsely to you in My name; I have not sent them, says the Lord. 10 For thus says the Lord: After seventy years are completed at Babylon, I will visit you and perform My good word toward you, and cause you to return to this place. 11For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. 12Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. 13And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. 14I will be found by you, says the Lord, and I will bring you back from your captivity; I will gather you from all the nations and from all the places where I have driven you, says the Lord, and I will bring you to the place from which I cause you to be carried away captive. Jeremiah 29:4-14 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Jeremiah 29:11 KJV Build houses and dwell in them; plant gardens and eat their fruit. 6 Take wives and beget sons and daughters; and take wives for your sons and give your daughters to husbands, so that they may bear sons and daughters—that you may be increased there, and not diminished. 7 And seek the peace of the city where I have caused you to be carried away captive, and pray to the Lord for it; for in its peace you will have peace. Jeremiah 29:5-7 NKJV …In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 1 Peter 1:13 NIV Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. Hebrews 10:23 NKJV Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward. 36For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise. Hebrews 10:35-36 We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure… Hebrews 6:19 NIV Return to your fortress, O prisoners of hope; even now I announce that I will restore twice as much to you. Zechariah 9:12 NIV Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13 NKJV Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

Jeremiah 29:11 KJV Build houses and dwell in them; plant gardens and eat their fruit. 6 Take wives and beget sons and daughters; and take wives for your sons and give your daughters to husbands, so that they may bear sons and daughters—that you may be increased there, and not diminished. 7 And seek the peace of the city where I have caused you to be carried away captive, and pray to the Lord for it; for in its peace you will have peace. Jeremiah 29:5-7 NKJV For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11 NKJV Return to your fortress, O prisoners of hope; even now I announce that I will restore twice as much to you. Zechariah 9:12 NIV It was the first year of the reign of Darius the Mede, the son of Ahasuerus, who became king of the Babylonians. 2 During the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, learned from reading the word of the Lord, as revealed to Jeremiah the prophet, that Jerusalem must lie desolate for seventy years. 3 So I turned to the Lord God and pleaded with him in prayer and fasting. I also wore rough burlap and sprinkled myself with ashes. 4 I prayed to the Lord my God and confessed: “O Lord, you are a great and awesome God! You always fulfill your covenant and keep your promises of unfailing love to those who love you and obey your commands. 5 But we have sinned and done wrong. We have rebelled against you and scorned your commands and regulations. 6 We have refused to listen to your servants the prophets, who spoke on your authority to our kings and princes and ancestors and to all the people of the land. 7 “Lord, you are in the right; but as you see, our faces are covered with shame. This is true of all of us, including the people of Judah and Jerusalem and all Israel, scattered near and far, wherever you have driven us because of our disloyalty to you. 8 O Lord, we and our kings, princes, and ancestors are covered with shame because we have sinned against you. 9 But the Lord our God is merciful and forgiving, even though we have rebelled against him. 10 We have not obeyed the Lord our God, for we have not followed the instructions he gave us through his servants the prophets. Daniel 9:1-10 NLT if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14   https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2016-05-29_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 30 May 2016 12:00:00 GMT 46:00 The Power of Personal Choices - Pt. 8 Teryl Todd Choose Victory #8 – “Choose Victory” 1 Samuel 17 NKJV 2 And Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together, and they encamped in the Valley of Elah, and drew up in battle array against the Philistines. 3 The Philistines stood on a mountain on one side, and Israel stood on a mountain on the other side, with a valley between them. 4 And a champion went out from the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, from Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span. 1 Samuel 17:2-4 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manute_Bol#/media/File:Manute_Bol_2006.jpg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gheorghe_Mureșan#/media/File:Gheorghe_Muresan_(15833043052).jpg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goliath#/media/File:Osmar_Schindler_David_und_Goliath.jpg https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d8/David_and_Goliath.jpg 5 He had a bronze helmet on his head, and he was armed with a coat of mail, and the weight of the coat was five thousand shekels of bronze. 6 And he had bronze armor on his legs and a bronze javelin between his shoulders. 7 Now the staff of his spear was like a weaver’s beam, and his iron spearhead weighed six hundred shekels; and a shield-bearer went before him. 8 Then he stood and cried out to the armies of Israel, and said to them, “Why have you come out to line up for battle? Am I not a Philistine, and you the servants of Saul? Choose a man for yourselves, and let him come down to me. 9 If he is able to fight with me and kill me, then we will be your servants. But if I prevail against him and kill him, then you shall be our servants and serve us.” 10 And the Philistine said, “I defy the armies of Israel this day; give me a man, that we may fight together.” 11 When Saul and all Israel heard these words of the Philistine, they were dismayed and greatly afraid. 1 Samuel 17:5-11 Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them. Mark 11:24 17 Then Jesse said to his son David, “Take now for your brothers an ephah of this dried grain and these ten loaves, and run to your brothers at the camp. 18 And carry these ten cheeses to the captain of their thousand, and see how your brothers fare, and bring back news of them.” 19 Now Saul and they and all the men of Israel were in the Valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines. 20 So David rose early in the morning, left the sheep with a keeper, and took the things and went as Jesse had commanded him. And he came to the camp as the army was going out to the fight and shouting for the battle. 21 For Israel and the Philistines had drawn up in battle array, army against army. 22 And David left his supplies in the hand of the supply keeper, ran to the army, and came and greeted his brothers. 23 Then as he talked with them, there was the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, coming up from the armies of the Philistines; and he spoke according to the same words. So David heard them. 24 And all the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him and were dreadfully afraid. 25 So the men of Israel said, “Have you seen this man who has come up? Surely he has come up to defy Israel; and it shall be that the man who kills him the king will enrich with great riches, will give him his daughter, and give his father’s house exemption from taxes in Israel.” 26 Then David spoke to the men who stood by him, saying, “What shall be done for the man who kills this Philistine and takes away the reproach from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?” 1 Samuel 17:17-26 27 And the people answered him in this manner, saying, “So shall it be done for the man who kills him.” 28 Now Eliab his oldest brother heard when he spoke to the men; and Eliab’s anger was aroused against David, and he said, “Why did you come down here? And with whom have you left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your pride and the insolence of your heart, for you have come down to see the battle.” 29 And David said, “What have I done now? Is there not a cause?” 30 Then he turned from him toward another and said the same thing; and these people answered him as the first ones did. 1 Samuel 17:27-30 31 Now when the words which David spoke were heard, they reported them to Saul; and he sent for him. 32 Then David said to Saul, “Let no man’s heart fail because of him; your servant will go and fight with this Philistine.” 33 And Saul said to David, “You are not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him; for you are a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.” 34 But David said to Saul, “Your servant used to keep his father’s sheep, and when a lion or a bear came and took a lamb out of the flock, 35 I went out after it and struck it, and delivered the lamb from its mouth; and when it arose against me, I caught it by its beard, and struck and killed it. 36 Your servant has killed both lion and bear; and this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, seeing he has defied the armies of the living God.” 37 Moreover David said, “The Lord, who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear, He will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine.” And Saul said to David, “Go, and the Lord be with you!” 1 Samuel 17:31-37 38 So Saul clothed David with his armor, and he put a bronze helmet on his head; he also clothed him with a coat of mail. 39 David fastened his sword to his armor and tried to walk, for he had not tested them. And David said to Saul, “I cannot walk with these, for I have not tested them.” So David took them off. 1 Samuel 17:38-39 But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth. 1 John 2:20 NIV 40 Then he took his staff in his hand; and he chose for himself five smooth stones from the brook, and put them in a shepherd’s bag, in a pouch which he had, and his sling was in his hand. And he drew near to the Philistine. 41 So the Philistine came, and began drawing near to David, and the man who bore the shield went before him. 42 And when the Philistine looked about and saw David, he disdained him; for he was only a youth, ruddy and good-looking. 43 So the Philistine said to David, “Am I a dog, that you come to me with sticks?” And the Philistine cursed David by his gods. 1 Samuel 17:40-43 44 And the Philistine said to David, “Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the air and the beasts of the field!” 45 Then David said to the Philistine, “You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin. But I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. 46 This day the Lord will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you and take your head from you. And this day I will give the carcasses of the camp of the Philistines to the birds of the air and the wild beasts of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel. 47 Then all this assembly shall know that the Lord does not save with sword and spear; for the battle is the Lord’s, and He will give you into our hands.” 1 Samuel 17:44-47 48 So it was, when the Philistine arose and came and drew near to meet David, that David hurried and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine. 49 Then David put his hand in his bag and took out a stone; and he slung it and struck the Philistine in his forehead, so that the stone sank into his forehead, and he fell on his face to the earth. 50 So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone, and struck the Philistine and killed him. But there was no sword in the hand of David. 51 Therefore David ran and stood over the Philistine, took his sword and drew it out of its sheath and killed him, and cut off his head with it. And when the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, they fled. 52 Now the men of Israel and Judah arose and shouted, and pursued the Philistines as far as the entrance of the valley and to the gates of Ekron. 1 Samuel 17:48-52   https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2016-06-05_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 06 Jun 2016 12:00:00 GMT 39:05 The Power of Personal Choices - Pt. 9 Teryl Todd Choose to Follow the Holy Spirit “Choose To Follow The Holy Spirit” 36Then after some days Paul said to Barnabas, “Let us now go back and visit our brethren in every city where we have preached the word of the Lord, and see how they are doing.” 37Now Barnabas was determined to take with them John called Mark. 38But Paul insisted that they should not take with them the one who had departed from them in Pamphylia, and had not gone with them to the work. 39Then the contention became so sharp that they parted from one another. And so Barnabas took Mark and sailed to Cyprus; 40but Paul chose Silas and departed, being commended by the brethren to the grace of God. 41And he went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the churches. Acts 15:36-41 NKJV 1Then he came to Derbe and Lystra… Acts 16:1 …And behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a certain Jewish woman who believed, but his father was Greek. 2He was well spoken of by the brethren who were at Lystra and Iconium. 3Paul wanted to have him go on with him. Acts 16:1-3a #1. When Barnabas leaves (for whatever reason), God has a Silas and Timothy to take his place. 18If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men. Romans 12:18 30And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. 31Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. 32And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you. Ephesians 4:30-32 28And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. Romans 8:28 19And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19 …And he took him and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in that region, for they all knew that his father was Greek. 4And as they went through the cities, they delivered to them the decrees to keep, which were determined by the apostles and elders at Jerusalem. 5So the churches were strengthened in the faith, and increased in number daily. Acts 16:3b-5 #2. Timothy Had A Heart For God and Didn’t Want Anything To Hinder His Ministry. I have no one else like Timothy, who genuinely cares about your welfare. Philippians 2:20 NLT 6Now when they had gone through Phrygia and the region of Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to preach the word in Asia. Acts 16:6 7After they had come to Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit did not permit them. 8So passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas. 9And a vision appeared to Paul in the night. A man of Macedonia stood and pleaded with him, saying, “Come over to Macedonia and help us.” Acts 16:7-9 9And a vision appeared to Paul in the night. A man of Macedonia stood and pleaded with him, saying, “Come over to Macedonia and help us.” Acts 16:9 10Now after he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to preach the gospel to them. Acts 16:10 6Now when they had gone through Phrygia and the region of Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to preach the word in Asia. 7After they had come to Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit did not permit them. 8So passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas.

And the word of the Lord was rare in those days; there was no widespread revelation. 2 And it came to pass at that time, while Eli was lying down in his place, and when his eyes had begun to grow so dim that he could not see, 3 and before the lamp of God went out in the tabernacle[a] of the Lord where the ark of God was, and while Samuel was lying down, 4 that the Lord called Samuel. And he answered, “Here I am!” 5 So he ran to Eli and said, “Here I am, for you called me.” And he said, “I did not call; lie down again.” And he went and lay down. 6 Then the Lord called yet again, “Samuel!” So Samuel arose and went to Eli, and said, “Here I am, for you called me.” He answered, “I did not call, my son; lie down again.” 7 (Now Samuel did not yet know the Lord, nor was the word of the Lord yet revealed to him.) 8 And the Lord called Samuel again the third time. So he arose and went to Eli, and said, “Here I am, for you did call me.” Then Eli perceived that the Lord had called the boy. 9 Therefore Eli said to Samuel, “Go, lie down; and it shall be, if He calls you, that you must say, ‘Speak, Lord, for Your servant hears.’” So Samuel went and lay down in his place. 10 Now the Lord came and stood and called as at other times, “Samuel! Samuel!” And Samuel answered, “Speak, for Your servant hears.” 1 Samuel 3:1-11 (NKJV) Three Things Parents Need To Do: #1. Encourage Your Children To Listen To The Lord’s Voice. #2. Teach Your Children To Praise God. Through the praise of children and infants you have established a stronghold against your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger. Psalms 8:2 NIV Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith… 1 Peter 5:8-9 #3. Teach Your Children To Love God Completely. Jesus replied: "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' Matthew 22:37 19 So Samuel grew, and the Lord was with him and let none of his words fall to the ground. 20 And all Israel from Dan to Beersheba knew that Samuel had been established as a prophet of the Lord. 1 Samuel 3:19-20 Three Keys To Hear God’s Voice: #1. God’s Word Tunes Your Heart To Hear The Voice Of The Lord.

(This sermon was preached previously, and is part of our occasional "Best of" series. May God bless you as you listen!) Romans 1:18-21, "18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19 because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. 20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, 21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened."   https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2016-07-03_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 04 Jul 2016 12:00:00 GMT 41:11 Student Ministries Pastor Zach Barnes and Costa Rica Highlights Zach Barnes Costa Rica This Sunday our missions team from Evangel gave a recap of their time in Costa Rica and all that God did!

It was about noon, 10 and he was hungry. But while a meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance. 11 He saw the sky open, and something like a large sheet was let down by its four corners. 12 In the sheet were all sorts of animals, reptiles, and birds. 13 Then a voice said to him, “Get up, Peter; kill and eat them.” 14 “No, Lord,” Peter declared. “I have never eaten anything that our Jewish laws have declared impure and unclean.” 15 But the voice spoke again: “Do not call something unclean if God has made it clean.” 16 The same vision was repeated three times. Then the sheet was suddenly pulled up to heaven. 17 Peter was very perplexed. What could the vision mean? Just then the men sent by Cornelius found Simon’s house. Standing outside the gate, 18 they asked if a man named Simon Peter was staying there. 19 Meanwhile, as Peter was puzzling over the vision, the Holy Spirit said to him, “Three men have come looking for you. 20 Get up, go downstairs, and go with them without hesitation. Don’t worry, for I have sent them.” 21 So Peter went down and said, “I’m the man you are looking for. Why have you come?” 22 They said, “We were sent by Cornelius, a Roman officer. He is a devout and God-fearing man, well respected by all the Jews. A holy angel instructed him to summon you to his house so that he can hear your message.” 23 So Peter invited the men to stay for the night. The next day he went with them, accompanied by some of the brothers from Joppa. 24 They arrived in Caesarea the following day. Cornelius was waiting for them and had called together his relatives and close friends. 25 As Peter entered his home, Cornelius fell at his feet and worshiped him. 26 But Peter pulled him up and said, “Stand up! I’m a human being just like you!” 27 So they talked together and went inside, where many others were assembled. 28 Peter told them, “You know it is against our laws for a Jewish man to enter a Gentile home like this or to associate with you. But God has shown me that I should no longer think of anyone as impure or unclean. Acts 10:9-28 NLT 29 So I came without objection as soon as I was sent for. Now tell me why you sent for me.” 30 Cornelius replied, “Four days ago I was praying in my house about this same time, three o’clock in the afternoon. Suddenly, a man in dazzling clothes was standing in front of me. 31 He told me, ‘Cornelius, your prayer has been heard, and your gifts to the poor have been noticed by God! 32 Now send messengers to Joppa, and summon a man named Simon Peter. He is staying in the home of Simon, a tanner who lives near the seashore.’ 33 So I sent for you at once, and it was good of you to come. Now we are all here, waiting before God to hear the message the Lord has given you.” Acts 10:29-32 34 Then Peter replied, “I see very clearly that God shows no favoritism. 35 In every nation he accepts those who fear him and do what is right. Acts 10:34 36 This is the message of Good News for the people of Israel—that there is peace with God through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all. 37 You know what happened throughout Judea, beginning in Galilee, after John began preaching his message of baptism. 38 And you know that God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power. Then Jesus went around doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him. Acts 10:36-38 39 “And we apostles are witnesses of all he did throughout Judea and in Jerusalem. They put him to death by hanging him on a cross, 40 but God raised him to life on the third day. Then God allowed him to appear, 41 not to the general public, but to us whom God had chosen in advance to be his witnesses. We were those who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead. 42 And he ordered us to preach everywhere and to testify that Jesus is the one appointed by God to be the judge of all—the living and the dead. 43 He is the one all the prophets testified about, saying that everyone who believes in him will have their sins forgiven through his name.” Acts 10:39-43 44 Even as Peter was saying these things, the Holy Spirit fell upon all who were listening to the message. 45 The Jewish believers who came with Peter were amazed that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out on the Gentiles, too. 46 For they heard them speaking in other tongues and praising God. Acts 10:44-46 Then Peter asked, 47 “Can anyone object to their being baptized, now that they have received the Holy Spirit just as we did?” 48 So he gave orders for them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Afterward Cornelius asked him to stay with them for several days.

For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. Ephesians 2:8-9 “… if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:9 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Romans 10:17 So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God. 23 For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. 24 Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them. Mark 11:22-24 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. Hebrews 11:6 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1 “casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.” 1 Peter 5:7   https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2016-07-24_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 25 Jul 2016 12:00:00 GMT 40:49 Faith for Tough Times - Lesson 2 - How to Wake Up Your Faith in God Teryl Todd How to Wake Up Your Faith in God Lesson #2 – “How To Wake-Up Your Faith In God” But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. Hebrews 11:6 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1 NKJV Now faith means that we are confident of what we hope for, convinced of what we do not see. Hebrews 11:1 Moffatt’s Translation Now faith is the assurance (the confirmation, the title deed) of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality [faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses]. Hebrews 11:1 AMP Classic Edition #1. Natural Human Faith #2. “Saving Faith” or “Faith To Follow Jesus Christ” #3. Supernatural Mountain Moving Faith For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. 24 Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them. Mark 11:23-24 NKJV Now Thomas, called the Twin, one of the twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. 25 The other disciples therefore said to him, “We have seen the Lord.” So he said to them, “Unless I see in His hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe.” 26 And after eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus came, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, “Peace to you!” 27 Then He said to Thomas, “Reach your finger here, and look at My hands; and reach your hand here, and put it into My side. Do not be unbelieving, but believing.” 28 And Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!” 29 Jesus said to him, “Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” John 20:24-29 (as it is written, “I have made you a father of many nations”) in the presence of Him whom he believed—God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did; 18 who, contrary to hope, in hope believed, so that he became the father of many nations, according to what was spoken, “So shall your descendants be.” 19 And not being weak in faith, he did not consider his own body, already dead (since he was about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah’s womb. He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, 21 and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform.

Mark 6:5-6 My son, give attention to my words; Incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your eyes; Keep them in the midst of your heart; For they are life to those who find them, And health to all their flesh. Proverbs 4:20-22 “As a man he thinks in his heart, so is he.” Proverbs 23:7 “But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” 1 Corinthians 15:57 For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. 1 John 5:4 Now a certain woman had a flow of blood for twelve years, 26 and had suffered many things from many physicians. She had spent all that she had and was no better, but rather grew worse. 27 When she heard about Jesus, she came behind Him in the crowd and touched His garment. 28 For she said, “If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well.” 29 Immediately the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of the affliction. 30 And Jesus, immediately knowing in Himself that power had gone out of Him, turned around in the crowd and said, “Who touched My clothes?” Mark 5:25-30 And He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be healed of your affliction.” Mark 5:34 “He Himself took our infirmities And bore our sicknesses.” Matthew 8:17; (Isaiah 53:4) “Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.” Mark 11:24 “…For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” So we may boldly say: “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?” Hebrews 13:5-6   https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2016-08-07_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 08 Aug 2016 12:00:00 GMT 38:10 Faith for Tough Times - Lesson 4 - Acting Your Faith Part 1 Teryl Todd Acting Your Faith Lesson #4 – “Acting Your Faith” – Joshua 6; Luke 5 And the Lord said to Joshua: “See! I have given Jericho into your hand, its king, and the mighty men of valor. Joshua 6:2 You shall march around the city, all you men of war; you shall go all around the city once. This you shall do six days. 4 And seven priests shall bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark. But the seventh day you shall march around the city seven times, and the priests shall blow the trumpets. 5 It shall come to pass, when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, and when you hear the sound of the trumpet, that all the people shall shout with a great shout; then the wall of the city will fall down flat. And the people shall go up every man straight before him.” Joshua 6:3-5 Now Joshua had commanded the people, saying, “You shall not shout or make any noise with your voice, nor shall a word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I say to you, ‘Shout!’ Then you shall shout.” Joshua 6:10 But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint. Isaiah 40:31 We went to the land where you sent us. It truly flows with milk and honey, and this is its fruit. 28 Nevertheless the people who dwell in the land are strong; the cities are fortified and very large; moreover we saw the descendants of Anak there… 30 Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, “Let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome it.” Numbers 13:27-28, 30 31 But the men who had gone up with him said, “We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we.” 32 And they gave the children of Israel a bad report of the land which they had spied out, saying, “The land through which we have gone as spies is a land that devours its inhabitants, and all the people whom we saw in it are men of great stature. 33 There we saw the giants[a] (the descendants of Anak came from the giants); and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight.” Numbers 13:31-33 But it came to pass on the seventh day that they rose early, about the dawning of the day, and marched around the city seven times in the same manner. On that day only they marched around the city seven times. 16 And the seventh time it happened, when the priests blew the trumpets, that Joshua said to the people: “Shout, for the Lord has given you the city! Joshua 6:15-16 So the people shouted when the priests blew the trumpets. And it happened when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat. Then the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city. Joshua 6:20 Then behold, men brought on a bed a man who was paralyzed, whom they sought to bring in and lay before Him. 19 And when they could not find how they might bring him in, because of the crowd, they went up on the housetop and let him down with his bed through the tiling into the midst before Jesus. Luke 5:18-19 20 When He saw their faith, He said to him, “Man, your sins are forgiven you.” Luke 5:20 But that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins”—He said to the man who was paralyzed, “I say to you, arise, take up your bed, and go to your house.” Luke 5:24 Immediately he rose up before them, took up what he had been lying on, and departed to his own house, glorifying God.

And finding some disciples 2 he said to them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” So they said to him, “We have not so much as heard whether there is a Holy Spirit.” 3 And he said to them, “Into what then were you baptized?” So they said, “Into John’s baptism.” 4 Then Paul said, “John indeed baptized with a baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe on Him who would come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.” 5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 6 And when Paul had laid hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke with tongues and prophesied. Acts 19:1-6 “he said to them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” So they said to him, “We have not so much as heard whether there is a Holy Spirit.” Acts 19:2 “John answered, saying to all, “I indeed baptize you with water; but One mightier than I is coming, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to loose. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.” Luke 3:16 “for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.” Acts 1:5 "But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” Acts 1:8 “And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.” Acts 2:4 " And when Paul had laid hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke with tongues and prophesied." Acts 19:6 “For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful.” 1 Corinthians 14:14 "God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” John 4:24 For if I pray in an [unknown] tongue, my spirit [by the Holy Spirit within me] prays, but my mind is unproductive… 1 Corinthians 14:14 (AMP Classic Edition) Jesus said: “And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever.” John 14:16 “And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.” Acts 2:4   https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2016-08-21_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 22 Aug 2016 12:00:00 GMT 40:42 Faith for Tough Times - Lesson 6 - Walking by Faith and Not by Sight Teryl Todd Includes Eating Disorder Testimony John 20:24-24 1. “Have I found a promise in God’s Word, for that which I am believing God for?” 2. “Am I living in obedience to what the Scriptures teach?” “Will a man rob God? Yet you have robbed Me! But you say, ‘In what way have we robbed You?’ In tithes and offerings. 9 You are cursed with a curse, For you have robbed Me...10 Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, That there may be food in My house, And try Me now in this,” Says the Lord of hosts, “If I will not open for you the windows of heaven And pour out for you such blessing That there will not be room enough to receive it. 11 “And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, So that he will not destroy the fruit of your ground, Nor shall the vine fail to bear fruit for you in the field,” Says the Lord of hosts; 12 “And all nations will call you blessed, For you will be a delightful land,” Says the Lord of hosts. Malachi 3:8-12 3. “Do I believe God’s Word with my heart/spirit?” 4. “Am I considering contradictory circumstances?” 5. “Am I praising God for the answer?” Now Thomas, called the Twin, one of the twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. 25 The other disciples therefore said to him, “We have seen the Lord.” So he said to them, “Unless I see in His hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe.” 26 And after eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus came, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, “Peace to you!” 27 Then He said to Thomas, “Reach your finger here, and look at My hands; and reach your hand here, and put it into My side. Do not be unbelieving, but believing.” 28 And Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!” 29 Jesus said to him, “Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” John 20:24-29 NKJV “For we walk by faith, not by sight.” 2 Corinthians 5:7 1. Find A Promise In God’s Word Related To What You Are Asking God For. 2. Examine Yourself. Is Your Life Lined Up With God’s Word? 3. Mediate On God’s Promise, So It Becomes The Conviction Of Your Heart. 4. Believe God’s Word, and Affirm It With Your Mouth. 5. Do Not Consider Contradictory Circumstances. 6. Praise God For The Answer.   https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2016-08-28_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 29 Aug 2016 12:00:00 GMT 42:41 God's Purpose for Your Life - Lesson 6 - Delight Yourself in the Lord Teryl Todd God Has a Specific Plan for Every Person From Sunday, March 29, 2015 I believe that God has a specific plan for every person. And God wants us to know His plan. 17Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is. Ephesians 5:17 The Lord wants you to know what His will is for your life. But you won’t find out God’s will by accident - you have to seek His will, by asking, seeking, and knocking in prayer, and by seeking first His Kingdom and his righteousness. For the last several weeks we’ve talked about the importance of you being a living sacrifice - wholly acceptable unto God. We’ve also talked about the importance of renewing our minds with the Word of God. If you will do these two things it will help you to find and follow God’s purpose for your life. King David said:  Trust in the Lord, and do good;       Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. 4      Delight yourself also in the Lord,       And He shall give you the desires of your heart. 5      Commit your way to the Lord,       Trust also in Him,       And He shall bring it to pass. Psalm 37:3-5 Note: “Delight yourself also in the Lord,       And He shall give you the desires of your heart.” v.4 This means when we align ourselves with the Lord, He puts his desires in our heart. Now some people misinterpret this passage to mean that God will give them whatever they want: A million Dollar House, A Lamborghini sports car, a particular job, a promotion, or what ever. But this verse is not a free pass to get your hands on everything your flesh craves. Many years ago a man approached me and said: “Psalms 37:4 says that if I will delight myself in the Lord that He will give me the desire of my heart. I want you to pray that a certain woman will become my wife.” I asked him who this woman was, and when he told me her name, I said: “Now hold on a minute. This woman is married to another man and I know her husband, he is a good man.” This fellow told me that her husband was not a good husband to her, and God was sending him to rescue her out of a bad marriage, and be a good husband to her. I said: “My friend, I am afraid you are deceived. God doesn’t want you to be a third party - breaking up their marriage. God isn’t into divorce. Sometimes divorce takes place and God is merciful and will help every divorced person to put their life back together again, but divorce isn’t God’s highest and best for people. In the book of Malachi God says: “I hate divorce.” Its because divorce hurts people! I am not going to pray that God will use you to break up their marriage. I’m going to pray that God will help that man to love his wife like Christ loves the church, and I’m going to pray that they fall back in love with one another. And that God will make their marriage like heaven on earth. And that she will forget all about you!” He didn’t like what I told him, but he had misinterpreted Psalms 37:4. God gives us the desires of our heart, as we seek the Lord with our whole heart. What happens is that as we love Jesus with all of our heart, God changes the desire of our hearts – so we desire good and godly things. After I became a follower of Jesus Christ, the desires of my heart changed. I didn’t want to smoke pot anymore. I didn’t want to attend parties where wild and crazy things were going on. The ungodly things that I was doing before I gave my life to Jesus didn’t appeal to me anymore. In verse 4, the Hebrew word that is translated “delight,” literally means, “to be soft or pliable.” It’s speaking about having a sensitive heart towards the Lord. #1. Pray: “Jesus, may I have a soft and pliable heart toward You.” “May I be sensitive to You!” A. To delight in the Lord means to be sensitive to the things God likes. It means to commit your life to him. To put Him first in your life. If you put Jesus first and delight yourself in the Lord, He will order the desires of your heart. B. But that is a big “if.” Some Christians don’t want to be a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God. They don’t want to renew their minds by reading God’s Word. C. We all have to deal with stubbornness and selfishness inside us… We all have to deal with our carnal nature. And we live in a sinful world, and we battle thoughts and emotions that can lead us astray. D. I’m not saying that you have to be perfect in order to be committed to God, but you have to desire to live more for God that you do for yourself. #2. We All Need To Pray: “Jesus, help me overcome selfishness. Give me the desire to live for You, instead of just living for myself!” A. When you try to live for God - which is what it means to delight yourself in the Lord, I think He puts His desires in your heart. It’s pretty simple. #3. One Of The Ways God Leads Us Is By The Sanctified, Holy, Jesus-Honoring Desires Of Our Heart! A. When the board here at our church, first called me and asked if I would be a candidate to pastor this congregation, I didn’t have a desire to pastor Evangel. And as far as I know, I was delighted myself in the Lord. Five months went by and one evening the Holy Spirit nudged my heart and impressed on me that he was calling me to pastor this great congregation. B. And from that moment, God began to change the desire of my heart. Emotionally, it was very hard to resign the church we had helped to birth and serve for 14 years. We invested our time talent and treasure, our blood, sweat, and tears in that congregation. But the desire to continue pastoring that congregation was leaving us. In our hearts we started to become excited about pastoring Evangel. In Psalms 37, David outlines 3 steps in delighting yourself in the Lord. Trust in the Lord, and do good;       Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. 4      Delight yourself also in the Lord,       And He shall give you the desires of your heart. 5      Commit your way to the Lord,       Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass. Psalm 37:3-5 1. TRUST IN THE LORD. When you trust in the Lord, you are putting your faith in His promises. There are over 7,000 promises in God’s Word. You should read your Bible with a highlighter, and when a promise, a commandment, or a principle, speaks to you – underline it. Ask how does this apply to my life? And pray it back to God. 2. DO GOOD – When you live like God’s Word says to live, you aren’t going to be lying, cheating, stealing and sleeping around… gonna do good. …To him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin. James 4:17 3. “Then you will live safely in the land and prosper.” NLT - FEED ON HIS FAITHFULNESS – One of the best things you can do is to talk and think and meditate on the faithfulness of God in your life. Every one of us deserves death and hell. We deserve eternity separated from God. But God demonstrates His love toward us in this, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. I don’t deserve God’s love, grace and forgiveness. Rom. 5:8 “But God demonstrates His love towards us in this… 4. COMMIT YOUR WAY UNTO THE LORD. That not only means to talk to God about your plans…but also to cast your cares on the Lord. “Commit your way to the Lord [roll and repose each care of your load on Him]” Psalms 37:5 Amplified Bible A. This is very important. When you go through life carrying all of your problems – those problems/burdens will become the focus of your heart. Remember the Law of Focus – what you focus on will determine your destiny… If problems are the focus of your heart, then you will go nowhere fast. You won’t be able to identify the sanctified and holy desires that God places inside you when you delight in Him. B. Many years ago, God placed a desire – a dream into Pastor Robert Barriger’s heart to start an Orphanage in Lima, Peru. Robert would think about it, but then he would talk himself out of it – by saying: “I don’t have the money… I don’t have the resources…” But one day he mentioned to a group of American pastors that he would like to build an Orphanage for the street children of Lima, Peru. And to his astonishment, a congregation in Baton Rouge, LA sent him a check for $50,000 to purchase a campus for an Orphanage. This acreage already had buildings on it. Another congregation purchased furniture , beds, and furnishings to care for 30 children. And a congregation in California sent a lady to live in Peru who was volunteered as a Nurse, and they gave the money to hire the Social Workers the Peruvian Government required for Orphanages. What started as a Jesus-honoring desire in Robert’s heart, became a reality! I want you to ask yourself, “What are the sanctified, Jesus honoring desires of my heart?” “Am I doing what God wants me to do?” Forget about money for a moment. Act like you are worth a billion dollars and money is not an issue. Forget what your friends and relatives are saying. Forget about your past failures - Forget about all that stuff. If there were no restrictions on you, what would you do? I think a lot of people have let life beat their dreams out of them. They have been disappointed so many times; they don’t want to risk being disappointed again. Other people feel like dreaming is for children so they put all their dreams on the shelf in order to pursue what this world offers. When it comes to figuring out the desires of our heart - A lot of us would rather have an angel appear to us - or a Burning bush speak to us and tell us what to do. But usually, hearing from God is a simple as putting God first in your life, and seeking him with your whole heart, and then following the desires of your heart. Again you have to check those desires against the Word of God. The desire to rob a bank doesn’t come from God... However, if over time, the desire of your heart increases the more you seek God and the more you pray, you need to follow it. Nobody ever lies on their deathbed and says, “Oh, I wish I had lived in a bigger house.” Or, “I wish I had driven a nicer car.” The regrets people have at the end of their lives involve relationships. “I wish I had been a better father or mother.” “I wish I had done this or that - it’s usually about relationship’s.” God is in the people business. Whatever God’s purposes for your life, it’s probably going to relate to helping and changing people. The number one way you learn to follow God’s will is simply by putting him first and following the desires of your heart. As you delight yourself in the Lord, he will change the desires of your heart to align with his purpose. You may be thinking, “But what if I step out in faith and fail? But what if you succeed? I have a buddy who was stuck in a job with no future. He had a wife and two kids and a mortgage and he drove a delivery truck. But he loved God and delighted himself in the Lord… he also loved history, and had an amazing ability to recall sports trivia. He has a photographic memory and could tell you what the batting average was for an obscure professional baseball player from the 1920’s. He loved the Lord and used to dream of starting a Sports Memorabilia Business. But no one believed he could be successful. He went to his bank and they refused to give him a loan to get started. So he used credit cards and began buying baseball uniforms and footballs and baseball bats from the 1920’s and 30s. Then he began selling the stuff sometimes for a 100% profit. He discovered some of the biggest collectors of Sports Memorabilia were professional athletes who had more money than they knew what to do with. He called me several times to come over a swing baseball bats once used by Babe Ruth and Ty Cobb. Today, he is known as one of the best Sports Memorabilia historians in the country. Sotheby’s – the big auction house often flies him to their actions to verify whether or not a uniform or piece of equipment is authentic. He is successful beyond his wildest dreams. And he did three things: 1) He delighted himself in the Lord; 2) He dared to dream about the desire of his heart, and 3) He stepped out of the boat and pursued his dream and God-given desire.   https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2016-09-04_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 05 Sep 2016 12:00:00 GMT 38:34 Faith for Tough Times - Lesson 2 - How to Wake Up Your Faith in God (WITH MANUSCRIPT) Teryl Todd Includes how Pastor Teryl and his wife met! I am excited about this series of messages. I love to talk about and encourage people to exercise faith in God. It’s because learning to exercise faith in God has changed my life! Faith in God has changed Kathy’s life. It has changed the lives of our three girls and their husbands. We choose to live our lives believing God’s WORD! But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. Hebrews 11:6 Why is it impossible to please God without faith? Because God is not pleased when he cannot manifest Himself in your life. God wants to have a relationship with you, meet your needs, and work though you to bless others. Faith is the CONNECTION by which salvation is transferred from heaven to you! Faith is the CONNECTION by which healing, financial help and everything God has, is transferred from heaven to you. A key verse when studying the topic of faith is Hebrews 11:1: Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1 NKJV Now faith means that we are confident of what we hope for, convinced of what we do not see. Hebrews 11:1 Moffatt’s Translation Now faith is the assurance (the confirmation, the title deed) of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality [faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses]. Hebrews 11:1 AMP Classic Edition There are several different dimensions of faith: #1. A Natural Human Faith. Everyone, Those Who Follow Christ and Those Who Don’t, Have A Natural Human Faith. By faith you are trusting that the chair you are sitting in will support you and not fall apart and spill you on the floor. You have faith that you're the engine of your car will start when you turn the ignition key. Most have faith the sun is going to rise tomorrow morning. #2. “Saving Faith” or “Faith To Follow Jesus Christ” – This faith comes from believing in your heart that God raised Christ from the dead and confessing with your mouth that Jesus Christ is your Lord. Romans 10:9-10 #3. Supernatural Mountain Moving Faith Jesus said: “…whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. 24 Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.” Mark 11:23-24 NKJV Faith is the CONNECTOR between God and man. For example: you hope for finances to meet your obligations, but faith in God gives the assurance that you will have the money when you need it. You hope for physical strength, to do the work that you have to do. Faith in God says: “The Lord is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid?” Psalms 27:1 Sometimes we hope for God’s help in life, but Romans 8:31 says: “What shall we say to these things, if God be for us…” Faith says about itself everything that the Word of God says, for faith in God is simply faith in God’s Word! I learned an important lesson as an 18-year-old when I moved from Tallahassee to North Georgia to attend Emmanuel College. My first couple of weeks in College I had roommate problems. My first roommate was a basketball player who introduced himself to me as the Marco Polo of College basketball – told me that Emmanuel was the 7th college he had attended. He only lasted a week. I returned from a class and he and all of his belongings were gone. Along with a few of my things. My second roommate was a “Rockin-Roller” who wanted to play guitar all night long. I would wake up at 2 a.m. and he would have two or three other guys in our small dorm room “jam-‘in away.” And I was terribly homesick. I would call home and tell my parents I didn’t like North Georgia, I was coming home… and mom would say: “Son, come on home!” And dad would say: “Don’t you dare come home. Losers never win and winners never quit! You better not come home and you better make good grades!” Now, I didn’t know a lot about faith in God, but the one verse I knew was Phil. 4:13… I began to exercise my faith: “Lord, you see I am not happy, but Phil. 4:13 says: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” So by faith I receive a good roommate, and my dad says I can’t come home and I have to make good grades, so I thank you for helping me to like it here!” My 3rd week in school, I met a guy named Greg from Roanoke, VA and Greg told me he wasn’t getting along with his roommate. So I asked Greg if he was a party animal or if he liked to sleep at night (he said sleep), and Greg and I talked our roommates into moving in with each other, and Greg and I became roommates and good friends. I continued to pray: Phil 4:13… “Thank you Lord that today I am meeting new friends. By faith. I am going to enjoy Emmanuel College and the community here.” I quit sitting in my dorm room feeling sorry for myself, and griping about how much I didn’t want to be there. And by faith I got up and went out and made friends and made myself happy. If I had gone according to my feelings, I would have stayed in bed all day and I wouldn’t have gone to class, and I wouldn’t have gotten active in the college community. But I acted on the Word of God that says: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” I started getting out of bed at 6:30 a.m. and going to have breakfast in the cafeteria. And instead of sitting by myself, I would look for tables that had an empty seat and ask folks if I could sit with them. Then I introduced myself and asked what their name was and started making friends. My flesh wanted to be selfish and gnarly in the morning. I didn’t want to have to make conversation with people I didn’t know. But I kept standing on Phil. 4:13 – “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” I joined one of the College Choirs and received an invitation to join a small 12-person ensemble that traveled across the country singing and representing the College. At the very first practice, I found myself paired up, and singing to a beautiful brunette from North Carolina. Who I later married! The next year I was voted the President of the Sophomore class. Then my Junior and Sr. years I was voted the president of the SGA of the School of Christian Ministries. John Wesley once said that the devil has given the Church a substitute for faith; one that looks and sounds so much like faith that few people can tell the difference. The substitute he called “Mental Ascent.” Many people read God’s Word and agree that it is true, but they are agreeing only with their minds. And that is not what gets the job done. You have to believe with your heart and speak your conviction with your mouth. “…if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” Romans 10:9-10 Mental Ascent says, “I know God’s Word is true. I know God has promised healing, but for some reason I can’t get it; I don’t understand it.” But faith in God says, “If God’s Word says it is so, then its so. It is mine. I have it now. I have it even though I can’t see it.” But Teryl, the thing I have been praying about hasn’t come to pass yet.” “Well if you already had it, you wouldn’t have to believe God for it.” 24 Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them. Mark 11:23-24 NKJV Receiving comes after believing. Jesus says: “You have to believe you have it before you can receive it.” Another pastor once called and said “I want to ask you a question:” “Are you a ‘Name It And Claim It’ Preacher?” “Are you a ‘Blab It And Grab It’ Preacher?” I was quiet for a minute and said: “No, I am A Believe It And Receive It’ Preacher.” “Faith is not a trick we perform with our lips, but faith in God is a spoken expression of the conviction of our hearts.” Too many of us have a Thomas kind of faith instead of an Abraham kind of faith. Thomas said: “I am not going to believe unless I see,” but Abraham “staggered not at the promises of God…but was strong in faith.” Now Thomas, called the Twin, one of the twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. 25 The other disciples therefore said to him, “We have seen the Lord.” So he said to them, “Unless I see in His hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe.” 26 And after eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus came, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, “Peace to you!” 27 Then He said to Thomas, “Reach your finger here, and look at My hands; and reach your hand here, and put it into My side. Do not be unbelieving, but believing.” 28 And Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!” 29 Jesus said to him, “Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” John 20:24-29 Thomas had a hard time believing that Jesus was alive. Thomas saw the nails driven into Jesus hands and the sword piercing his side. He saw Jesus hanging suspended between heaven and hell and he heard Jesus cry out “it is finished.” He saw Jesus die on the Cross. Perhaps the saw the body of Jesus taken off the Cross and wrapped in a burial shroud. His eyes and ears told him that Jesus was dead. But Thomas was using head knowledge instead of heart faith. Now look at Romans Ch. 4 – it talks about the faith of Abraham: (as it is written, “I have made you a father of many nations”) in the presence of Him whom he believed—God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did; Romans 4:17 Verse 17 - Paul says our God “Gives life to the dead, and calls those things which do not exist as though they do exist. This is what God did in Genesis 17:5 when He changed Abram’s name to Abraham. Abram means “High Father, or Exalted Father,” and the name Abraham means “Father Of A Multitude.” The Lord changed Abram’s name to Abraham one year before the birth of Isaac, thus confessing that Abraham was the father of a multitude before it happened in the physical. 18 who, contrary to hope, in hope believed, so that he became the father of many nations, according to what was spoken, “So shall your descendants be.” Romans 4:18 Verse 18 - There was no hope in the natural for Abraham or for his wife, Sarah, to conceive a child. But contrary to hope in hope they believed God. 19 And not being weak in faith, he did not consider his own body, already dead (since he was about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah’s womb. Romans 4:19 Verse 19 - The Greek word that is here translated as “consider” is “KATANOEO,” and it simply means, “to observe fully.” Abraham did not think carefully and meditate about his age and Sarah’s age, and the impact that would have on God’s promise. He did not take those things into account. He did think carefully on and meditate-on God’s promise. Abram was seventy-five years old when the Lord first promised him that he would have a child and that all the nations of the earth would be blessed through him (Genesis 12:1-4). He was ninety-nine years old in this instance that Paul cited, and Sarah was ninety years old (Genesis 17:17). But he refused to consider his own body. He refused to meditate on the impossibility of what God promised. Faith is a direct result of what you think on. If you think on God’s Word, faith comes 10:17). If you think on other things, unbelief and fear comes. “For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.” Romans 8:6 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Romans 10:17 “He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, 21 and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform.” Romans 4:20-21 Verse 20 – One of the ways Abraham strengthened his faith was by giving glory to God. He invested time praising God. Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants You have ordained strength, Because of Your enemies, That You may silence the enemy and the avenger. Psalms 8:2 (Mt. 21:16) Over the years at times I have struggled to believe God – the reason is because the devil would put pressure on me… and I would find myself reasoning with my brain and trying to figure things out with my understanding, rather than trusting God’s Word. When we sent Terri off to College, we had enough money to pay her first Semester Tuition and room and board, but that was all. I fussed and fumed and felt sorry for myself and even got angry with God that I faced financial pressure. Kathy’s dad was a generous man, but told us it wasn’t his responsibility to pay for his grandkids college education. My dad sent us a couple of hundred dollars each month that helped. Finally I quit trying to figure things out with my mind and started trusting God with my heart. Kathy and I believed the Holy Spirit was saying it was the will of God for our kids to attend Emmanuel College, so we began standing on Phil 4:19… And you know what? When we needed money for the second semester we had it. The next year Kathryn entered college, so we had two kids enrolled at College at the same time. And we fought fear that we wouldn’t be able to pay the bills. We kept focusing on Phil. 4:19…All I can tell you is that when the tuition and fees were due, we had the money to pay! We called not those things that were… Faith is the connector by which salvation comes into your life! Faith is the connector by which healing comes into your life! Faith is the connector by which you can be baptized in the Holy Spirit! Faith is the connector by which financial prosperity is brought into your life. Faith is the connector by which God’s highest and best comes into your life!   https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2016-09-11_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 12 Sep 2016 12:00:00 GMT 47:31 Faith for Tough Times - Lesson 8 - The Conviction of the Holy Spirit Teryl Todd John 16:7-11 Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you. 8 And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 9 of sin, because they do not believe in Me; 10 of righteousness, because I go to My Father and you see Me no more; 11 of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged. John 16:7-11 NKJV that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Romans 10:9-10 And many who had believed came confessing and telling their deeds. 19 Also, many of those who had practiced magic brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all. And they counted up the value of them, and it totaled fifty thousand pieces of silver. 20 So the word of the Lord grew mightily and prevailed. Acts 19:18-20 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Romans 10:9-10 "The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God." Romans 8:16 “Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven. 33 But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven. Matthew 10:32-33 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:8-9 “I, even I, am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake; And I will not remember your sins. Isaiah 43:25 For I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.” Jeremiah 31:34 As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our transgressions from us. Psalms 103:12   https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2016-09-18_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 19 Sep 2016 12:00:00 GMT 36:00 Faith for Tough Times - Lesson 9 - Speak Aloud and Confess With Your Mouth Teryl Todd Out of the Abundance of the Heart the Mouth Speaks #1. Each Day Confess That Jesus Christ Is The Lord Of Your Life. #2. Speak Aloud And Confess With Your Mouth The Promises In God’s Word. “…For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. Matthew 12:34 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. ROMANS 12:2 And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. Mark 16:15-16 #3. Recognize That God Works Through Your Lips. FORGIVENESS AVAILABLE IMPOSSIBLE TURN HEAVEN #4. As You Speak God’s Word Aloud, The Holy Spirit Begins to Work. And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; 18 they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.” 19 So then, after the Lord had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God. 20 And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs. Amen. Mark 16:17-20 #5. Treat the Word of God with the same reverence you would show Jesus if He were present in the natural. Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’ Isaiah 41:10 “…Do not be afraid; only believe, and she will be made well.” Luke 8:50 “Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom. Luke 12:32 And the Lord appeared to him the same night and said, “I am the God of your father Abraham; do not fear, for I am with you. I will bless you and multiply your descendants for My servant Abraham’s sake.” Genesis 26:24 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” Romans 8:15 7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7 18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. 1 John 4:18 For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” 6 So we may boldly say: “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?” Hebrews 13:5-6   https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2016-09-25_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 26 Sep 2016 12:00:00 GMT 42:40 A Noticeable Hope by Guest Speaker Tommy Moore Tommy Moore Our Hope Is In The Lord 1 Peter 3:15, "But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear..."

How do you read it?” 27 The man answered, “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your strength, and all your mind.’ And, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’” 28 “Right!” Jesus told him. “Do this and you will live!” 29 The man wanted to justify his actions, so he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” 30 Jesus replied with a story: “A Jewish man was traveling from Jerusalem down to Jericho, and he was attacked by bandits. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him up, and left him half dead beside the road. 31 “By chance a priest came along. But when he saw the man lying there, he crossed to the other side of the road and passed him by. 32 A Temple assistant walked over and looked at him lying there, but he also passed by on the other side. 33 “Then a despised Samaritan came along, and when he saw the man, he felt compassion for him. 34 Going over to him, the Samaritan soothed his wounds with olive oil and wine and bandaged them. Then he put the man on his own donkey and took him to an inn, where he took care of him. 35 The next day he handed the innkeeper two silver coins, telling him, ‘Take care of this man. If his bill runs higher than this, I’ll pay you the next time I’m here.’ 36 “Now which of these three would you say was a neighbor to the man who was attacked by bandits?” Jesus asked. 37 The man replied, “The one who showed him mercy.” Then Jesus said, “Yes, now go and do the same.” Luke 10:25-37 NLT “In Christ,” “In whom,” and “In Him,” Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 2 Corinthians 5:17 #1. You have the life of God – the Holy Spirit working in you. And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, and Standby), that He may remain with you forever— 17 The Spirit of Truth, Whom the world cannot receive (welcome, take to its heart), because it does not see Him or know and recognize Him. But you know and recognize Him, for He lives with you [constantly] and will be in you. John 14:16-17 Amplified Classic Edition #2. You have nature of God working in you. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, and self-control. Against such there is no law. Galatians 5:22-23 “ But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things.” 1 John 2:20 “…But we have the mind of Christ.” 1 Corinthians 2:16 #3.

If you transcribed those words they would fill a three hundred-page book every week. At the end of a year, you would have an entire bookcase full of words. In a lifetime you would fill a library. · How many of those words would really matter? · How many of those words would make a difference? · How many of those words speak life into your situations or speak death? Proverbs 18:21 NIV The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit. Proverbs 18: 21 NLT The tongue can bring death or life; those who love to talk will reap the consequences. 1 Peter 5:8 “Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.” Passage: 1 KINGS 17: 8-24 8 Then the Lord said to Elijah, 9 “Go and live in the village of Zarephath, near the city of Sidon. I have instructed a widow there to feed you.” 1. Believe that where the Lord leads, he Feeds. 2. Where he guides He provides. 10 So he went to Zarephath. As he arrived at the gates of the village, he saw a widow gathering sticks, and he asked her, “Would you please bring me a little water in a cup?” 11 As she was going to get it, he called to her, “Bring me a bite of bread, too.” 12 But she said, “I swear by the Lord your God that I don’t have a single piece of bread in the house. And I have only a handful of flour left in the jar and a little cooking oil in the bottom of the jug. I was just gathering a few sticks to cook this last meal, and then my son and I will die.” Point #1 Your perspective influences your Words. 13 But Elijah said to her, “Don’t be afraid! Go ahead and do just what you’ve said, but make a little bread for me first. Then use what’s left to prepare a meal for yourself and your son. 14 For this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: There will always be flour and olive oil left in your containers until the time when the Lord sends rain and the crops grow again!” Point #2 Your Words have the power to bring hope and life. 15 So she did as Elijah said, and she and Elijah and her family continued to eat for many days. 16 There was always enough flour and olive oil left in the containers, just as the Lord had promised through Elijah. 17 Some time later the woman’s son became sick. He grew worse and worse, and finally he died. 18 Then she said to Elijah, “O man of God, what have you done to me? Have you come here to point out my sins and kill my son?” Point #3 Your words only go as far as your opinion of God. 19 But Elijah replied, “Give me your son.” And he took the child’s body from her arms, carried him up the stairs to the room where he was staying, and laid the body on his bed. 20 Then Elijah cried out to the Lord, “O Lord my God, why have you brought tragedy to this widow who has opened her home to me, causing her son to die?” 21 And he stretched himself out over the child three times and cried out to the Lord, “O Lord my God, please let this child’s life return to him.” 22 The Lord heard Elijah’s prayer, and the life of the child returned, and he revived! 23 Then Elijah brought him down from the upper room and gave him to his mother. “Look!” he said. “Your son is alive!” 24 Then the woman told Elijah, “Now I know for sure that you are a man of God, and that the Lord truly speaks through you.” Point #4 Your Words are a testimony. Because Elijah allowed God to speak through him the widow experienced the life giving power of God. • The words you say reflect your heart? • God wants to heal broken hearts, • Restore relationships, • Renew hope and • Bring Life to troubled past. Hebrews 4:12 (NLT) 12 For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires. James 3:5-6The Message (MSG) 3-5 A bit in the mouth of a horse controls the whole horse. A small rudder on a huge ship in the hands of a skilled captain sets a course in the face of the strongest winds. A word out of your mouth may seem of no account, but it can accomplish nearly anything—or destroy it! 5-6 It only takes a spark, remember, to set off a forest fire. A careless or wrongly placed word out of your mouth can do that. By our speech we can ruin the world, turn harmony to chaos, throw mud on a reputation, send the whole world up in smoke and go up in smoke with it, smoke right from the pit of hell. Philippians 4:8 8 And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. Proverbs 13:3 Those who guard their lips preserve their lives, but those who speak rashly will come to ruin. Proverbs 15:4 The soothing tongue is a tree of life, but a perverse tongue crushes the spirit. Proverbs 15:1 A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. Proverbs 12:18 “Reckless words pierce like a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.” Ephesians 4:29 29 Don’t use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them.

Psalms 19:14 You are snared by the words of your mouth; You are taken by the words of your mouth. Proverbs 6:2 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit. Proverbs 18:21 “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts. Isaiah 58:8-9 “Will a man rob God? Yet you have robbed Me! But you say, ‘In what way have we robbed You?’In tithes and offerings.9 You are cursed with a curse, For you have robbed Me, Even this whole nation.10 Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, That there may be food in My house, And try Me now in this,” Says the Lord of hosts, “If I will not open for you the windows of heaven And pour out for you such blessing That there will not be room enough to receive it. 11 “And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, So that he will not destroy the fruit of your ground, Nor shall the vine fail to bear fruit for you in the field,” Says the Lord of hosts; 12 “And all nations will call you blessed,For you will be a delightful land,” Says the Lord of hosts. Malachi 3:8-12 10The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. John 10:10 11And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.

For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. Joshua 1:8 Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers. 3 John 1:2 The Greek word translated “Prosper” is “Eudoo.” “To find help on your journey and to succeed in reaching your goals.” For the LOVE of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. 1 Timothy 6:10 And the Lord restored Job’s losses when he prayed for his friends. Indeed the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before…12 Now the Lord blessed the latter days of Job more than his beginning; for he had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, one thousand yoke of oxen, and one thousand female donkeys. 13 He also had seven sons and three daughters…15 In all the land were found no women so beautiful as the daughters of Job; and their father gave them an inheritance among their brothers. 16 After this Job lived one hundred and forty years, and saw his children and grandchildren for four generations. 17 So Job died, old and full of days. Job 42:10, 12-13, 15-17 “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 27 Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? 28 “So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; 29 and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31 “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. Matthew 6:25-34 This, the first of His signs (attesting miracles), Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and revealed His glory [displaying His deity and His great power openly], and His disciples believed [confidently] in Him [as the Messiah—they adhered to, trusted in, and relied on Him]. John 2:11 – AMPLIFIED https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2016-10-30_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 31 Oct 2016 12:00:00 GMT 44:13 God's Outrageous Love Teryl Todd From April 7, 2013 Introduction: Who comes to mind when you think of the world’s wealthiest people? Bill Gates? Warren Buffet? Your great uncle? (Wouldn’t that be nice?) Forbes Magazine says that Bill Gates, the cofounder of the Microsoft Corporation has a net worth of approximately $66 billion dollars. Warren Buffet, chairman of Berkshire Hathaway has a net worth of $46 billion dollars. That is more than you and I could make in hundred’s of lifetimes. Yet, the ten’s of billions of dollars that Bill Gates and Warren Buffet are worth, doesn’t begin to match what one man in the Bible gave to the work God. Before he died, David, the second King of Israel, wanted with all of his heart to build a temple for God. For most of his 80 years, David had given his whole heart to God, and he begged God to let him build the temple. But God turned him down. And told David, you can’t build My temple, but your son, Solomon can build Me a temple. Not to be discouraged, David developed the architectural plans and began amassing building materials, so Solomon would have everything he needed to build the temple. Here are the instructions he gave to Solomon: 14“I have taken great pains to provide for the temple of the LORD a hundred thousand talents of gold, a million talents of silver, quantities of bronze and iron too great to be weighed, and wood and stone. And you may add to them. 15You have many workmen: stonecutters, masons and carpenters, as well as men skilled in every kind of work 16in gold and silver, bronze and iron—craftsmen beyond number. Now begin the work, and the LORD be with you.” 1 Chronicles 22:14-16 Lets put these quantities into modern terms, to give us some perspective on the size of David’s gift. A talent weighed about 70 pounds. That means that David gave roughly 3,750 tons of gold or about 7.5 million pounds. Multiply that by 16 to get the number of ounces, and as of Thursday of this week gold was selling for a low of $1,550 a troy ounce. So David’s gold donation alone was worth: $186 billion dollars. Add to that his 37,500 tons of silver worth today about 32 billion dollars and even without considering, the other materials given, you come up with an offering that three or four times larger than the entire fortune of one of today’s richest people. We don’t know how much David had left over after giving it, but his gift had to be one of the largest donations in the history of the world. What in the world would motivate such an extravagant gift? I believe it was David’s crystal clear recognition that every single thing – every shekel, every cow, every sandal, every fringe on his garment – had come to him from the hand of God, and it was only right to give back to him lavishly as a demonstration of his gratitude. #1. When We Get In Touch With Our Heavenly Father, We Become Extravagant In Our Response To God Because He Is Extravagant By Nature! A. When we think about the nature of God, ideas come to mind like: “God is Love,” and “God is Just,” and “God is Holy.” And they are all true! But we miss something by not recognizing the superlatives that go with each aspect of His nature. - A superlative expresses the highest degree of grammatical comparison of an adjective or adverb. It refers to something or somebody of the highest quality and the highest admiration. B. The angel in Isaiah’s vision cried, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord!” It was an extreme exclamation. “Holy” by itself means that someone is already perfect, sinless, pure and righteous. C. But the angel felt compelled to shout it three times for emphasis. That is because God isn’t just kind of holy, or kind of loving, or kind of just. He is lavishly, abundantly, excessively, bountifully holy, loving and just in every part of his being. God is limitless. He is extravagant! #2. It Is This Extravagant Reality Of God That King David Got In Touch With. A. The closer we get to Jesus, the clearer God’s extravagance registers in our hearts and hopefully it flows up to our consciousness. B. Today, I want to call you to a radical, dramatic complete commitment to Jesus, in response to God’s immense love for you! C. Solomon got the message, at least for the first part of his life. His father’s over-the-top devotion to God captured the young King’s heart. D. So Solomon builds a beautiful temple for His extravagant God. When the temple is complete, Priests carry the Ark of the Covenant into the Holy of Holies, and a cloud fills the temple with God’s presence. Solomon offers a prayer of dedication and then: 63Solomon offered a sacrifice of fellowship offerings to the LORD: twenty-two thousand cattle and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep and goats. So the king and all the Israelites dedicated the temple of the LORD. 1 Kings 8:63 NIV E. I have a hard time grasping the significance of that moment. What are the sounds, smells and sights of sacrificing 142,000 animals in a colossal worship service? F. The Lord didn’t command Solomon to sacrifice so much. It was simply the overflow of his gratitude for all God had done for him and his people. G. Some are thinking, well that is fine for David and Solomon to offer such extravagant gifts. They were rich kings and could afford it! Extravagant worship isn’t reserved just for the wealthy. 41Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put and watched the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. Many rich people threw in large amounts. 42But a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a fraction of a penny. 43Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, “I tell you the truth, this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others. 44They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything—all she had to live on.” Mark 12:41-44 H. Why did this poor woman give everything she had to God? Because she had a heart of overwhelming gratitude and glad obedience. How much was her gift worth to Jesus? Enough for Him to point to her as a shining example for all of us. I. Extravagant worshippers capture God’s heart! Jesus noticed her. Does your worship get God’s attention? J. Kathy and I took a major step of faith when I resigned my position at Regent University and we moved our family to Chicago’s North Shore to plant a new church. The day we moved into our rental home we had a snow-storm. Earlier, we noticed there were bright yellow ropes hanging about 5 feet off the ground in the parking lot. We couldn’t figure out their purpose until that storm left 2 feet of snow and then we figured out, the ropes told you where to park when the snow covered up the parking spaces. K. We cashed in my retirement and we gave the monies to our new church. We were having a hard time getting used to the Northern culture and the few church members we had were having a hard time getting used to we Southerners. L. During this time, I heard the Lord whisper to my heart: “Teryl, surrender!” I figured he must be talking to the wrong person. I said: “Lord, what else do you want me to surrender?” “I’ve resigned my job, we have moved up North, I have given my retirement funds to the new church. I am renting a house that I can’t really afford, I am paying private Christian School tuition for our girls that we can’t really afford… and you want me to surrender even more?” M. I began reminding God that my idea was to be a businessman, but gave up that “worldly ambition,” to become a pastor. I had dreamed of going into insurance and real estate. I had dreamed of having more wealth than anyone in my family had ever enjoyed. I wanted to make it big. I wanted to prove that I was smart and somebody. And when I answered the call to go into full time ministry, I knew that meant being concerned about money to pay bills, and perhaps even worse, being one of “those” people. N. I was more than a little resentful when God whispered to me, “Teryl, surrender!” O. But over the years, I have learned just how much I don’t know about surrendering to God and the Lord seems delighted to keep teaching me. The truth is I am still very much learning and I have a long ways to go. P. Today, we are celebrating Communion. Sometimes we forget that the 12 Disciples were just regular flesh and blood people like you and me. John McAurther says “they were just common men with an uncommon calling.” Jesus didn’t select them because they were special, extraordinary or especially talented. Several of them were fishermen, one was a tax collector, one was a rebel, a few others were thrown in. Like you and me, they were unworthy and unqualified. Q. But Jesus saved them and filled them with the Holy Spirit and used them to turn our world upside down. #3. The Next Time You Feel Like A “Nobody,” Remember That You Are Exactly The Kind Of Person Jesus Chose to Change The World! A. At the Last Supper, when Jesus passed the bread and held up the Cup, He was challenging these men to a radical commitment to Him that few of us understand. He said the bread was representative of His body that would be broken for us. Scripture refers to the church as the body of Christ. The bread is a representative of our connection to each other, our community, our togetherness. C. Battle-tested soldiers tell us that the bond they share with men who are in the same foxhole – is the strongest relational connection they know. When people are willing to die for the same cause, the sense of community they share is supernatural. When Jesus said: “Take the bread,” among other things, He was teaching us about true Christian community. Together we live and die for a shared cause: the honor of our Savior and the extension of His kingdom. D. The Cup signifies commitment. The wine was representative of His blood,that He would sacrificially spill the next day for them and for us. When He said: “Drink the Cup.” He wanted them to drink deeply of His grace and His power to forgive sins and to allow that truth to sink deeply into them. E. As Jesus blessed the Cup and passed it around, I think the disciples understood it was a sign of commitment. Not just God’s commitment to redeem us, but our commitment to say: “Jesus, I am all in!” “I am pushing all of the chips to the middle of the table.” “You have all of me!” F. They drank the cup that night and they meant it, at least 11 of them did! Yes, they ran from trouble a couple of hours later and they hid from the authorities in the weeks following Jesus resurrection. But on the day of Pentecost when the Holy Spirit came upon them in power, they became lions of the faith! In the coming years, they roared with the message of Christ to every corner of the known world. The extravagance of their devotion is seen in their deaths: • Simon the Zealot was crucified like Jesus with nails in his hands and feet. • Jude, also known as Thadeus, died on a cross. • Matthew was slain with a pickaxe in Ethiopia. • Phillip was stoned to death • James the great was beheaded • Thomas was rammed through by a spear in India • John was boiled in a pot of hot oil, somehow he survived, and was exiled to the island of Patmos off the coast of Turkey. • Simon Peter was crucified upside down. • Andrew was crucified • James the lesser was stoned and later beaten to death with a club. • Nathaniel was crucified. Judas betrayed Jesus that night and a few hours later he hanged himself in shame. For Judas, following Jesus was never about selfless devotion or commitment. He was only with Jesus, when Jesus had something Judas wanted. Yet, Judas isn’t that much different from consumer “Christians” today. When it began to look like following Jesus would cost Judas something, he changed course and found a way to make a profit from his relationship with Jesus. The Cross of Christ sets us free from sin, but it calls us to devote every ounce of our being to the One who bought our freedom. 9Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? 20For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 #4. Every Single One Of Us, Not Just Pastors And Church Leaders, But All Of Us Are Called To Be Extravagantly Devoted To Jesus, In Every Way And Every Day. Today, I want you to come to the altar area and to take the bread as the body of Christ, broken for you, and eat it. And take the Cup and drink deeply of His grace and mercy and SURRENDER YOUR LIFE TO JESUS IN A NEW WAY AND A NEW DEPTH. PERHAPS YOU HAVE DRIFTED INTO A CONSUMER CHRISTIANITY AND ARE SERVING JESUS, ONLY FOR THE BENEFITS AND THERE ARE MANY BENEFITS… BUT YOU NEED TO CLEAR AWAY THE COBWEBS Of COMPLACENCY FROM YOUR HEART, AND EXPERIENCE THE CLEANSING FLOOD OF HIS FORGIVENESS IN A FRESH WAY. MAYBE YOU’VE BEEN PLAYING IT SAFE IN YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD. IT’S TIME TO PUSH ALL OF YOUR CHIPS TO THE MIDDLE OF THE TABLE AND TO SAY MAYBE FOR THE FIRST TIME – “I’M ALL IN! I SURRENDER. I AM ALL YOURS. I BELONG TO YOU.

Teryl Todd Matthew 1:18-21 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: After His mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Spirit. 19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not wanting to make her a public example, was minded to put her away secretly. 20 But while he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to you Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. Matthew 1:18-20 But while he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to you Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. Matthew 1:20 Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel. Isaiah 7:14 But while he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to you Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. 21 And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.” Matthew 1:20-21 https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2016-12-04_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 05 Dec 2016 12:00:00 GMT 47:48 A Christmas Miracle Teryl Todd Pastor Teryl's Personal Miracle An inspiring Christmas message, starting with Pastor Teryl's personal Christmas miracle! https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2016-12-11_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 12 Dec 2016 12:00:00 GMT 16:41 The Messiah Has Come! Teryl Todd Left Behind Luke 2:41-52 41 His parents went to Jerusalem every year at the Feast of the Passover. 42 And when He was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the feast. 43 When they had finished the days, as they returned, the Boy Jesus lingered behind in Jerusalem. And Joseph and His mother did not know it; 44 but supposing Him to have been in the company, they went a day’s journey, and sought Him among their relatives and acquaintances. 45 So when they did not find Him, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking Him. 46 Now so it was that after three days they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions. 47 And all who heard Him were astonished at His understanding and answers. 48 So when they saw Him, they were amazed; and His mother said to Him, “Son, why have You done this to us? Look, Your father and I have sought You anxiously.” 49 And He said to them, “Why did you seek Me? Did you not know that I must be about My Father’s business?” 50 But they did not understand the statement which He spoke to them. Luke 2:41-50 You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore. Psalms 16:11 Oh, how great is Your goodness, Which You have laid up for those who fear You, Which You have prepared for those who trust in You In the presence of the sons of men! You shall hide them in the secret place of Your presence From the plots of man; You shall keep them secretly in a pavilion From the strife of tongues. Psalms 31:19-20 13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men, they marveled. And they realized that they had been with Jesus. Acts 4:31 https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2016-12-18_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 19 Dec 2016 12:00:00 GMT 51:06 The Importance of Peace Teryl Todd His Presence, Your Purpose (This sermon was preached previously, and is part of our occasional "Best of" series.) 15And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. Colossians 3:15 Question: “What rules your heart?” “What dominates your thinking?” As a kid I remember fear at times, ruling my heart. One night my dad was preaching at a church over in Chattahoochee, FL and he and mom drove over there, and I stayed home with my younger sister. Sometime that evening Carla told me she heard someone rubbing up against and shaking the heating oil tank outside her bedroom window. I listened and sure enough, I could hear someone outside rubbing against the tank. In my mind’s eye, I envisioned an escaped convict, crouched down ready to break in our house. Even though we didn’t have ammunition, I grabbed my dad’s shotgun, and sat on the bed, shaking in fear… After several hours my parents came home and turns out the noise we heard, was the neighbor’s dog rubbing his back on our heating oil tank. But it scared me and fear ruled my heart. 15And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. Colossians 3:15 The Greek word for “rule” comes from the root word from which we get our English word “Umpire.” It means to govern or to arbitrate. When I played Little League baseball, I was a pitcher. I learned that once the umpire made the call, it was decided. I would throw the ball to home plate, and the umpire would call it either a ball or a strike. His decision was final; there was no opportunity for a video replay. Paul says the peace of God should be an umpire in our hearts – let the peace of God make the final call about which opportunities you act on, and which ones you let pass. Four Things About God’s Peace: #1. There Is A Difference Between Having The Peace Of God And Having Peace With God. A. Every true follower of Jesus Christ enjoys peace with God. True believers repent of sin and believe the Gospel. The Gospel can be summed up in five simple statements: God became a man in Christ Jesus. God stepped into this world by taking on human flesh. The religions of the world call men to work their way to God. Christianity explains that God came down to us. Jesus lived the life we should have lived. God expects us to keep His moral law. Christ lived a perfect life, completely yielded to God. This was the life God intended all men and women to live. Jesus died the death we should have died. Jesus died because evil must be punished. If there is no consequence for breaking a law, then the law ceases to be a law. Jesus Christ bore our punishment by taking our place on a Roman Cross. Jesus rose from the dead. His resurrection proves that He is God and His authority is real and gives us hope there is life beyond the grave. Jesus Christ offers salvation to those who will repent and believe. He not only forgives our sins, but He delivers us from the power of evil in this life and in the next. To repent means to turn from evil and from trusting in our own efforts to earn our own salvation. We turn from evil to Jesus Christ. 16For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16 osGGTherefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 5:1 Paul says God speaks to believers, not through having peace with God, but through having the peace of God, or the lack thereof, concerning specific situations. And let the peace (soul harmony which comes) from Christ rule (act as umpire continually) in your hearts [deciding and settling with finality all questions that arise in your minds, in that peaceful state] to which as [members of Christ’s] one body you were also called [to live]. And be thankful (appreciative), [giving praise to God always]. Colossians 3:15 AMP He will act like an umpire continually! The Holy Spirit inside you is the umpire who continually declares peace… or the lack of peace. When a Christian has a decision to make, and he says: “I just don’t have peace about it,” he is not saying that He doesn’t have peace with God, but that he lacks the peace of God concerning the specific decision he is trying to make. At other times when a decision has to be made, the Holy Spirit will give a tremendous foundation of peace - double dose that gives assurance to the believer. This overwhelming peace is indication that the decision is in the will of God. The peace can be so overwhelming that it is hard to resist a smile or even laughter. A. Many years ago, a successful businessman in the church I was pastoring tried to talk me into constructing a new building on our campus. Truth be told, I wanted to construct the building he was interested in, but every time I prayed about it, I felt a sense of unease in my heart. For 6 months I told the businessman, I wanted to build it, but didn’t have any peace about it. Finally he grew frustrated and took off for another church. At that point, I had to know in my own heart, that I esteemed the leadership of the Holy Spirit higher than the opinion of this man. About 9 months later, our economy had a major downturn and everyone could see that borrowing money and building was definitely not the thing to do at this time. Thank God! The Holy Spirit knows things we don’t know, and will save us a lot of problems, if we will listen to Him! #2. There Is A Difference Between Peace In Your Spirit And Peace In Your Soul. For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Hebrews 4:12 A. The soulish (emotional) part of us can become very enthusiastic about a decision if it is something we really want to do. If we are not careful, we can wrongly diagnose our excitement as peace and be deceived into thinking God is giving the “green light” to go ahead. It isn’t in our soul, but deep in our spirit-man where the heavenly umpire will declare peace or refuse to manifest peace. B. In situations where our emotions are overly excited, it helps to prayerfully wait upon the Lord for a season before making the decision, giving the emotions a chance to cool down. The emotions attempt to counterfeit peace, but by waiting on the Lord, real peace remains, while emotions fade away. #3. The Bible Says “There Is A Peace That Passes All Understanding.” A. Have you ever felt like you were swimming through a dark tunnel? Powers of darkness were trying to destroy your soul? Feelings of hopelessness try to flood your soul? B. But then you have a spiritual breakthrough and… C. The sweet Holy Spirit begins to minister His peace. His peace will invade your being – standing between you and the storm clouds, commanding them to dissipate. This is peace that defies the understanding and commands hopelessness to retreat. It overwhelms the spirit of man! and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:7 D. This is the voice of God, saying loudly, “Fear not, all is well.” His peace is His voice. Circumstances become irrelevant because the peace of God has flooded your inner being. #4. The Holy Spirit Is Our Guide A. It is very significant to learn that the Holy Spirit guides us through peace in our spirit. B. Kathy and I know immediately when communication has broken down between us. Something is lacking – missing. Kathy might ask, “What is wrong?” “Are you upset?” I might ask: “Have I done something to upset you?” C. When we are walking with God and begin to turn the wrong way, we may immediately sense something is wrong. We may experience a lack of peace and the lack of His manifest presence. D. Sometimes people approach me for counsel, and enthusiastically declare their plans, and as I listen, it seems that my peace evaporates. I pretty much know that the guide within me is saying that person is departing from God’s will in the matter he is speaking about. E. Picture yourself on a walk with someone. You are walking and talking and suddenly you realize the person who was beside you is gone. His or her presence is missing. As you look back you discover that he stopped a little way back to look at something. F. With God, we can be similarly aware when something isn’t right. As we walk in the Spirit, we should take note when His presence is missing and turn around. Then ask why? He will reveal the reason. G. How many of you have ever experienced “Buyer’s Remorse.” Which is kind of a mental torment after you have purchased a new car or something big, and you wonder – did I make the right decision? H. Sometimes we can start to make decisions and feel like our peace is leaving us. I have noticed that when I am about to make a wrong decision, that it can seem that the Holy Spirit is retreating from me. I have learned He is saying: “This is not my will; you are not obeying me.” I. The peace of God, or the absence of His peace, is the voice of the Lord. It is one of the ways He communicates to every child of God. A. The Holy Spirit is constantly bearing witness in your heart, but not always with words. Sometimes, we just feel peace, or a lack of it, about doing something. Delight yourself also in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart. Psalms 37:4 B. Shortly after Kathy and I started the church in Chicago, we were planning to attend a Pastor’s Conference in Van Nuys, California, at Jack Hayford’s Church On The Way. We had attended this conference 3 or 4 times and looked forward to going and meeting friends out there. We even purchased our plane tickets early. C. But the week before the conference, I was praying, and I lost all desire to go to California. There wasn’t any reason for us not to want to go, but I lost my desire to go and I lost my peace about going. I knew that I needed to make sure I was hearing from God and not merely making an emotional decision, so I took an evening and worshipped God and prayed in the Spirit and the more I focused on God, the less I wanted to go to California. D. I decided to allow the peace of God to rule my heart, and I cancelled our flights and hotel rooms. When I went to the church office, our Secretary/Book Keeper marched into my office, upset about her job, threw her keys down on the desk and yelled: “I quit.” She grabbed her things and was out the door. She didn’t give a two- week notice, she was just gone, and I never even knew she was unhappy. E. All of sudden it became clear why we couldn’t go on the trip. I didn’t know this person was going to get angry and quit – but God did. Nothing takes God by surprise. F. I think that most of us have had a similar experience at some time. Most of us have been at a major crossroad and made a logical decision that went against what we felt we were to do in our hearts. Our heart was urging us to go in one direction, but our logic and others were telling us to we go in another – so we went with the logical decision. And when everything fell apart, we said, “I knew I wasn’t supposed to do that.” When we listen, we will hear God speak to us and lead us in the right direction. A. When most of us have a decision to make, we weigh the pros and the cons – the advantages and the disadvantages, and make the decision based on human reasoning – not because of the leadership of the Holy Spirit. B. Weighing all of the options isn’t wrong, but ultimately it is either the mind of the Lord or not. B. Every true follower of Jesus Christ enjoys peace with God. True believers repent of sin and believe the Gospel. The Gospel can be summed up in five simple statements: God became a man in Christ Jesus. God stepped into this world by taking on human flesh. The religions of the world call men to work their way to God. Christianity explains that God came down to us. Jesus lived the life we should have lived. God expects us to keep His moral law. Christ lived a perfect life, completely yielded to God. This was the life God intended all men and women to live. Jesus died the death we should have died. Jesus died because evil must be punished. If there is no consequence for breaking a law, then the law ceases to be a law. Jesus Christ bore our punishment by taking our place on a Roman Cross. Jesus rose from the dead. His resurrection proves that He is God and His authority is real and gives us hope there is life beyond the grave. Jesus Christ offers salvation to those who will repent and believe. He not only forgives our sins, but He delivers us from the power of evil in this life and in the next. To repent means to turn from evil and from trusting in our own efforts to earn our own salvation. We turn from evil to Jesus Christ. 16For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16 osGGTherefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 5:1   https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2016-12-25_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 26 Dec 2016 12:00:00 GMT 41:48 Focusing on the Important - Lesson 1 Teryl Todd The Presence of Jesus in 2017 The Presence Of Jesus In 2017 38 As Jesus and the disciples continued on their way to Jerusalem, they came to a certain village where a woman named Martha welcomed him into her home. 39 Her sister, Mary, sat at the Lord’s feet, listening to what he taught. 40 But Martha was distracted by the big dinner she was preparing. She came to Jesus and said, “Lord, doesn’t it seem unfair to you that my sister just sits here while I do all the work? Tell her to come and help me.” 41 But the Lord said to her, “My dear Martha, you are worried and upset over all these details! 42 There is only one thing worth being concerned about. Mary has discovered it, and it will not be taken away from her.” Matthew 10:38-42 NLT #1. Never Forget That God Is Your Source. #2. Act On God’s Word As A Way Of Life. “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’ Matthew 7:21 #3. Don’t Lose The Excitement Of Living For Jesus! #4. Always Give Jesus The Glory, For Every Little Thing! #5.

Philippians 3:13-14 NIV Now behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus who was a chief tax collector, and he was rich. 3 And he sought to see who Jesus was, but could not because of the crowd, for he was of short stature. 4 So he ran ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see Him, for He was going to pass that way. Luke 19:2-4 NKJV And when Jesus came to the place, He looked up and saw him, and said to him, “Zacchaeus, make haste and come down, for today I must stay at your house.” Luke 19:5-6 NKJV #1. “When You Are Desperate, You Will Do Anything!” A few days later, when Jesus again entered Capernaum, the people heard that he had come home. 2 They gathered in such large numbers that there was no room left, not even outside the door, and he preached the word to them. Mark 2:1-2 Some men came, bringing to him a paralyzed man, carried by four of them. 4 Since they could not get him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof above Jesus by digging through it and then lowered the mat the man was lying on. Mark 2:3-4 “When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralyzed man, “Son, your sins are forgiven.” Mark 2:5 “But I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.” So he said to the man, 11 “I tell you, get up, take your mat and go home.” 12 He got up, took his mat and walked out in full view of them all. This amazed everyone and they praised God, saying, “We have never seen anything like this!” Mark 2:10-12 #2.

Desperate People Take Authority Over The Devil! Luke 10:19 Then they came to Jericho. As Jesus and his disciples, together with a large crowd, were leaving the city, a blind man, Bartimaeus (which means “son of Timaeus”), was sitting by the roadside begging. 47 When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” 48 Many rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” 49 Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.” So they called to the blind man, “Cheer up! On your feet! He’s calling you.” 50 Throwing his cloak aside, he jumped to his feet and came to Jesus. Mark 10:46-50 NIV “What do you want me to do for you?” Jesus asked him. The blind man said, “Rabbi, I want to see.” 52 “Go,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you.” Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus along the road. Mark 10:51-52 NIV 12 Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. 13 Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

Psalms 23:1-6 The Lord your God in your midst, The Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing.” Zephaniah 3:17 11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep. 12 But a hireling, he who is not the shepherd, one who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf catches the sheep and scatters them. 13 The hireling flees because he is a hireling and does not care about the sheep. 14 I am the good shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My own. 15 As the Father knows Me, even so I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep. John 10:11-15 “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.” Psalms 23:1 #1. Never Forget That God Is Your Source. 27 Then they told him, and said: “We went to the land where you sent us. It truly flows with milk and honey, and this is its fruit. 28 Nevertheless the people who dwell in the land are strong; the cities are fortified and very large; moreover we saw the descendants of Anak there. 29 The Amalekites dwell in the land of the South; the Hittites, the Jebusites, and the Amorites dwell in the mountains; and the Canaanites dwell by the sea and along the banks of the Jordan.” 30 Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, “Let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome it.” 31 But the men who had gone up with him said, “We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we.” 32 And they gave the children of Israel a bad report of the land which they had spied out, saying, “The land through which we have gone as spies is a land that devours its inhabitants, and all the people whom we saw in it are men of great stature. 33 There we saw the giants (the descendants of Anak came from the giants); and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight.” Numbers 13:27-33 2 He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters.

And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. Colossians 3:15 Question: “What rules your heart?” “What dominates your thinking?” As a kid I remember at time fears ruling my heart. One night my dad was preaching at a church over in Chattahoochee, FL and he and mom drove over there, and I stayed home with my younger sister. Sometime that evening Carla told me she heard someone rubbing up against and shaking the heating oil tank outside her bedroom window. I listened and sure enough, I could hear someone outside rubbing against the tank. In my mind’s eye, I envisioned an escaped convict, crouched down ready to break in our house. Even though we didn’t have ammunition, I grabbed my dad’s shotgun, and sat on the bed, shaking in fear… After several hours my parents came home and turns out the noise we heard, was the neighbor’s dog rubbing his back on our heating oil tank. But it scared me and fear ruled my heart. 15And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. Colossians 3:15 The Greek word for “rule” comes from the root word from which we get our English word “Umpire.” It means to govern or to arbitrate. When I played Little League baseball, I was a pitcher. I learned that once the umpire made the call, it was decided. I would throw the ball to home plate, and the umpire would call it either a ball or a strike. His decision was final; there was no opportunity for a video replay. Paul says the peace of God should be an umpire in our hearts – let the peace of God make the final call about which opportunities you act on, and which ones you let pass. Four Things About God’s Peace: #1. There Is A Difference Between Having The Peace Of God And Having Peace With God. Every true follower of Jesus Christ enjoys peace with God. True believers repent of sin and believe the Gospel. The Gospel can be summed up in five simple statements: • God became a man in Christ Jesus. God stepped into this world by taking on human flesh. The religions of the world call men to work their way to God. Christianity explains that God came down to us. • Jesus lived the life we should have lived. God expects us to keep His moral law. Christ lived a perfect life, completely yielded to God. This was the life God intended all men and women to live. • Jesus died the death we should have died. Jesus died because evil must be punished. If there is no consequence for breaking a law, then the law ceases to be a law. Jesus Christ bore our punishment by taking our place on a Roman Cross. • Jesus rose from the dead. His resurrection proves that He is God and His authority is real and gives us hope there is life beyond the grave. • Jesus Christ offers salvation to those who will repent and believe. He not only forgives our sins, but He delivers us from the power of evil in this life and in the next. To repent means to turn from evil and from trusting in our own efforts to earn our own salvation. We turn from evil to Jesus Christ. 16For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16 Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 5:1 Paul says God speaks to believers, not through having peace with God, but through having the peace of God, or the lack thereof, concerning specific situations. And let the peace (soul harmony which comes) from Christ rule (act as umpire continually) in your hearts [deciding and settling with finality all questions that arise in your minds, in that peaceful state] to which as [members of Christ’s] one body you were also called [to live]. And be thankful (appreciative), [giving praise to God always]. Colossians 3:15 AMP He will act like an umpire continually! The Holy Spirit inside you is the umpire who continually declares peace… or the lack of peace. When a Christian has a decision to make, and he says: “I just don’t have peace about it,” he is not saying that He doesn’t have peace with God, but that he lacks the peace of God concerning the specific decision he is trying to make. At other times when a decision has to be made, the Holy Spirit will give a tremendous foundation of peace - double dose that gives assurance to the believer. This overwhelming peace is indication that the decision is in the will of God. The peace can be so overwhelming that it is hard to resist a smile or even laughter. Many years ago, a successful businessman in the church I was pastoring tried to talk me into constructing a new building on our campus. Truth be told, I wanted to construct the building he was interested in, but every time I prayed about it, I felt a sense of unease in my heart. For 6 months I told the businessman, I wanted to build it, but didn’t have any peace about it. Finally he grew frustrated and took off for another church. At that point, I had to know in my own heart, that I esteemed the leadership of the Holy Spirit higher than the opinion of this man. About 9 months later, our economy had a major downturn and everyone could see that borrowing money and building was definitely not the thing to do at this time. Thank God! The Holy Spirit knows things we don’t know, and will save us a lot of problems, if we will listen to Him! #2. There Is A Difference Between Peace In Your Spirit And Peace In Your Soul. For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Hebrews 4:12 A. The soulish (emotional) part of us can become very enthusiastic about a decision if it is something we really want to do. If we are not careful, we can wrongly diagnose our excitement as peace and be deceived into thinking God is giving the “green light” to go ahead. It isn’t in our soul, but deep in our spirit-man where the heavenly umpire will declare peace or refuse to manifest peace. B. In situations where our emotions are overly excited, it helps to prayerfully wait upon the Lord for a season before making the decision, giving the emotions a chance to cool down. The emotions attempt to counterfeit peace, but by waiting on the Lord, real peace remains, while emotions fade away. #3. The Bible Says “There Is A Peace That Passes All Understanding.” A. Have you ever felt like you were swimming through a dark tunnel? Powers of darkness were trying to destroy your soul? Feelings of hopelessness try to flood your soul? B. But then you have a spiritual breakthrough and… C. The sweet Holy Spirit begins to minister His peace. His peace will invade your being – standing between you and the storm clouds, commanding them to dissipate. This is peace that defies the understanding and commands hopelessness to retreat. It overwhelms the spirit of man! and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:7 D. This is the voice of God, saying loudly, “Fear not, all is well.” His peace is His voice. Circumstances become irrelevant because the peace of God has flooded your inner being. #4. The Holy Spirit Is Our Guide A. It is very significant to learn that the Holy Spirit guides us through peace in our spirit. B. Kathy and I know immediately when communication has broken down between us. Something is lacking – missing. Kathy might ask, “What is wrong?” “Are you upset?” I might ask: “Have I done something to upset you?” C. When we are walking with God and begin to turn the wrong way, we may immediately sense something is wrong. We may experience a lack of peace and the lack of His manifest presence. D. Sometimes people approach me for counsel, and enthusiastically declare their plans, and as I listen, it seems that my peace evaporates. I pretty much know that the guide within me is saying that person is departing from God’s will in the matter he is speaking about. E. Picture yourself on a walk with someone. You are walking and talking and suddenly you realize the person who was beside you is gone. His or her presence is missing. As you look back you discover that he stopped a little way back to look at something. F. With God, we can be similarly aware when something isn’t right. As we walk in the Spirit, we should take note when His presence is missing and turn around. Then ask why? He will reveal the reason. G. How many of you have ever experienced “Buyer’s Remorse.” Which is kind of a mental torment after you have purchased a new car or something big, and you wonder – “did I make the right decision?” H. Sometimes we can start to make decisions and feel like our peace is leaving us. I have noticed that when I am about to make a wrong decision, that it can seem that the Holy Spirit is retreating from me. I have learned He is saying: “This is not my will; you are not obeying me.” The peace of God, or the absence of His peace, is the voice of the Lord. It is one of the ways He communicates to every child of God. The Holy Spirit is constantly bearing witness in your heart, but not always with words. Sometimes, we just feel peace, or a lack of it, about doing something. Delight yourself also in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart. Psalms 37:4 Shortly after Kathy and I planted the church on Chicago’s North Shore, we were planning to attend a Pastor’s Conference in Van Nuys, California, at Jack Hayford’s Church On The Way. We had attended his conference 3 or 4 times and looked forward to going and meeting friends out there. We even purchased our plane tickets early. But the week before the conference, I was praying, and I lost all desire to go to California. There wasn’t any reason for us not to want to go, but I lost my desire to go and I lost my peace about going. I knew that I needed to make sure I was hearing from God and not merely making an emotional decision, so I took an evening and worshipped God and prayed in the Spirit and the more I focused on God, the less I wanted to go to California. I decided to allow the peace of God to rule my heart, and I cancelled our flights and hotel rooms. When I went to the church office, our Secretary/Book Keeper marched into my office, upset about her job, threw her keys down on the desk and yelled: “I quit.” She grabbed her things and was out the door. She didn’t give a two- week notice, she was just gone, and I never even knew she was unhappy. All of sudden it became clear why we couldn’t go on the trip. I didn’t know this person was going to quit her job – but God did. Nothing takes God by surprise. I think that most of us have had a similar experience at some time. Most of us have been at a major crossroad and made a logical decision that went against what we felt we were to do in our hearts. Our heart was urging us to go in one direction, but our logic and others were telling us to we go in another – so we went with the logical decision. And when everything fell apart, we said, “I knew I wasn’t supposed to do that.” When we listen, we will hear God speak to us and lead us in the right direction. When most of us have a decision to make, we weigh the pros and the cons – the advantages and the disadvantages, and make the decision based on human reasoning – not because of the leadership of the Holy Spirit. Weighing all of the options isn’t wrong, but ultimately it is either the mind of the Lord or not. Every true follower of Jesus Christ enjoys peace with God. True believers repent of sin and believe the Gospel. The Gospel can be summed up in five simple statements: • God became a man in Christ Jesus. God stepped into this world by taking on human flesh. The religions of the world call men to work their way to God. Christianity explains that God came down to us. • Jesus lived the life we should have lived. God expects us to keep His moral law.

He not only forgives our sins, but He delivers us from the power of evil in this life and in the next. To repent means to turn from evil and from trusting in our own efforts to earn our own salvation. We turn from evil to Jesus Christ. 16For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16 Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.

He Blesses Your Emotions With Joy! #2. He Meets Your Need! So it was, as the multitude pressed about Him to hear the word of God, that He stood by the Lake of Gennesaret, 2 and saw two boats standing by the lake; but the fishermen had gone from them and were washing their nets. 3 Then He got into one of the boats, which was Simon’s, and asked him to put out a little from the land. And He sat down and taught the multitudes from the boat. 4 When He had stopped speaking, He said to Simon, “Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.” 5 But Simon answered and said to Him, “Master, we have toiled all night and caught nothing; nevertheless at Your word I will let down the net.” 6 And when they had done this, they caught a great number of fish, and their net was breaking. 7 So they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink. 8 When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord!” 9 For he and all who were with him were astonished at the catch of fish which they had taken; Luke 5:1-9 #3. He Brings Peace! 35 On the same day, when evening had come, He said to them, “Let us cross over to the other side.” 36 Now when they had left the multitude, they took Him along in the boat as He was. And other little boats were also with Him. 37 And a great windstorm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that it was already filling. 38 But He was in the stern, asleep on a pillow. And they awoke Him and said to Him, “Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?” 39 Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace, be still!” And the wind ceased and there was a great calm. Mark 4:35-39 #4. He Brings Forgiveness of Sin! https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2017-01-29_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 30 Jan 2017 12:00:00 GMT 45:31 The Most Important Question You Will Ever Answer - Focusing on the Important - Lesson 5 Teryl Todd The Most Important Question You Will Ever Answer 13 When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, “Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?” 14 So they said, “Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” 15 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Matthew 16:13-15 NKJV 16 Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” 17 Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. 18 And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. Matthew 16:16-18 February 5th, 2017 A.D. A.D. – “Anno Domini” – Latin for “Year Of Our Lord.” #1. If you want to see Jesus clearly, take your Bible and read the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Underline everything He did and everything He said. Put yourself in every verse. #2. Jesus Wasn’t A Barefoot, Scrawny, And Weak-Kneed Person With A Lamb Under His Arm, Speaking In Elizabethan English. #3. Jesus Was Merciful To Sinners, But To Religious People, His Words Cut Like A Knife. https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2017-02-05_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 06 Feb 2017 12:00:00 GMT 41:10 The Things Jesus Did - Focusing on the Important - Lesson 6 Teryl Todd WDJD - What Did Jesus Do? W.D.J.D. – “What Did Jesus Do?” And there are also many other things that Jesus did, which if they were written one by one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that would be written. Amen. John 21:25 NKJV “…That the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me. “ John 17:23 #1. Because of His compassion for people, Jesus paid the price for our sin and destroyed the works of the devil. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 1 John 4:10 “…For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.” 1 John 3:8 "Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it." Colossians 1:15 "For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace." Romans 6:14 “Sin does not have dominion over me. For I am not under the law, but under the grace of Jesus Christ!” "Open your hearts to us. We have wronged no one, we have corrupted no one, we have cheated no one." 2 Corinthians 7:2 #2. Not only did Jesus pay the price for our sin on the Cross, but He also paid the price for our sickness and disease. "Who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed". 1 Peter 2:24 #3. Jesus also paid the price for our peace. Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. John 14:27 #4. Not only did Jesus pay the price for our sin, sickness and fears, He also paid the price for our poverty. I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live; Deuteronomy 30:19 https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2017-02-12_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 13 Feb 2017 12:00:00 GMT 42:02 The Name of Jesus - Focusing on the Important - Lesson 7 Teryl Todd Acts 3:1-12 Now Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour. 2 And a certain man lame from his mother’s womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms from those who entered the temple; 3 who, seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, asked for alms. 4 And fixing his eyes on him, with John, Peter said, “Look at us.” 5 So he gave them his attention, expecting to receive something from them. 6 Then Peter said, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.” 7 And he took him by the right hand and lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. 8 So he, leaping up, stood and walked and entered the temple with them—walking, leaping, and praising God. 9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God. 10 Then they knew that it was he who sat begging alms at the Beautiful Gate of the temple; and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him. 11 Now as the lame man who was healed held on to Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the porch which is called Solomon’s, greatly amazed. 12 So when Peter saw it, he responded to the people: “Men of Israel, why do you marvel at this? Or why look so intently at us, as though by our own power or godliness we had made this man walk? Acts 3:1-12 And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, “By what power or by what name have you done this?” 8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “Rulers of the people and elders of Israel: Acts 4:7-8 10 let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by Him this man stands here before you whole. Acts 4:10 12 Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” Acts 4:12 9 Therefore God also has highly exalted Him (Jesus) and given Him the name which is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Philippians 2:9-11 23 “…Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you. 24 Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full. John 16:23-24 #1. There are many people who believe in Jesus. But they don’t believe in the power of His name, so they don’t cast out devils or heal the sick. 17 And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; 18 they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.” Mark 16:17-18 #2. It is very important to know the Person behind the name! 15 And the evil spirit answered and said, “Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are you?” 16 Then the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, overpowered them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded. Acts 19:15-16 #3. Sometimes people say, “Well, I prayed in the name of Jesus, but nothing happened.” #4. Critics say, “You Christians just use the name of Jesus as a formula, as a good luck charm.” https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2017-02-19_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 20 Feb 2017 12:00:00 GMT 45:23 Greg Mundis - Missions Sunday Teryl Todd Expand and Engage - Going Beyond Borders 2 Corinthians 10:15-16, "15 Neither do we go beyond our limits by boasting of work done by others.

Matthew 8:1 Now a leper came to Him, imploring Him, kneeling down to Him and saying to Him, “If You are willing, You can make me clean.” 41 Then Jesus, moved with compassion, stretched out His hand and touched him, and said to him, “I am willing; be cleansed.” Mark 1:40-41 But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd. Matthew 9:36 Principle: “SYMPATHY SITS, BUT COMPASSION ACTS!” When Jesus heard it, He departed from there by boat to a deserted place by Himself. But when the multitudes heard it, they followed Him on foot from the cities. 14 And when Jesus went out He saw a great multitude; and He was moved with compassion for them, and healed their sick. Matthew 14:13-14 32 Now Jesus called His disciples to Himself and said, “I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now continued with Me three days and have nothing to eat. And I do not want to send them away hungry, lest they faint on the way.” Matthew 15:32 And behold, two blind men sitting by the road, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out, saying, “Have mercy on us, O Lord, Son of David!” 31 Then the multitude warned them that they should be quiet; but they cried out all the more, saying, “Have mercy on us, O Lord, Son of David!” 32 So Jesus stood still and called them, and said, “What do you want Me to do for you?” 33 They said to Him, “Lord, that our eyes may be opened.” 34 So Jesus had compassion and touched their eyes. And immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed Him. Matthew 20:30-34 #1. Ask God for the grace to never look down on people. #2. Pray: “Holy Spirit, come and do a work on the inside of me.” “Forgive me for having a hard and callous heart toward others.” “Break my heart with the things that break Your heart!” For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin. Hebrews 4:15 NIV #3. Receive the mercy and compassion of Jesus for your own life. Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. Hebrews 4:16 NIV https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2017-03-05_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 06 Mar 2017 12:00:00 GMT 36:02 Guest Speaker Dave Roever Dave Roever 2 Corinthians 4:7 "We have this treasure in earthen vessels."

Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His. 10 And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11 But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you. Romans 8:1-11 #1. WHEN JESUS CHRIST COMES INTO YOUR LIFE, HE MAKES YOU RIGHTEOUS. As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our transgressions from us. Psalms 103:12 You will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea. Micah 7:19 # 2. BEING AWARE OF YOUR RIGHT STANDING WITH GOD HELPS YOU TO RESIST SIN! Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 2 Corinthians 5:17 Open your hearts to us. We have wronged no one, we have corrupted no one, we have cheated no one. 2 Corinthians 7:2 #3. WHEN JESUS HUNG ON THE CROSS, YOUR SINS WERE PLACED ON HIM. 21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. 2 Corinthians 5:21 30 But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God—and righteousness and sanctification and redemption— 1 Corinthians 1:30 #4. WHAT HAPPENS IF WE DO SIN? My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. 1 John 2:1 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9 https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2017-03-19_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 20 Mar 2017 12:00:00 GMT 44:37 The Real Jesus, Lesson 2: Jesus the Healer Teryl Todd Five Reasons Jesus Healed the Sick “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me To preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives And recovery of sight to the blind, To set at liberty those who are oppressed; Luke 4:18 For I am the Lord who heals you. Exodus 15:26 Five Reasons Jesus Healed The Sick: #1. Jesus Healed the Sick Because It Was Promised In The Word of God. 16 When evening had come, they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed. And He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick, 17 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying: “He Himself took our infirmities And bore our sicknesses.” Matthew 8:16-17 Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering… 5 But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed. Isaiah 53:4-5 NIV #2. Jesus Healed The Sick In Order To Reveal God’s Will. 40 Now a leper came to Him, imploring Him, kneeling down to Him and saying to Him, “If You are willing, You can make me clean.” 41 Then Jesus, moved with compassion, stretched out His hand and touched him, and said to him, “I am willing; be cleansed.” 42 As soon as He had spoken, immediately the leprosy left him, and he was cleansed. Mark 1:40-42 #3. Jesus Healed The Sick To Manifest The Works of God. Now as Jesus passed by, He saw a man who was blind from birth. 2 And His disciples asked Him, saying, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” 3 Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but that the works of God should be revealed in him. John 9:1-3 #4. Jesus Healed The Sick Because of His Compassion. 14 And when Jesus went out He saw a great multitude; and He was moved with compassion for them, and healed their sick. Matthew 14:14 30 And behold, two blind men sitting by the road, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out, saying, “Have mercy on us, O Lord, Son of David!” 34 So Jesus had compassion and touched their eyes. And immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed Him. Matthew 20:30,34 #5. Jesus Healed People Because of Their Faith. When Jesus heard it, He marveled, and said to those who followed, “Assuredly, I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel…13 Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go your way; and as you have believed, so let it be done for you.” And his servant was healed that same hour. Matthew 8:12-13 34 And He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be healed of your affliction.” Mark 5:34 https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2017-03-26_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 27 Mar 2017 12:00:00 GMT 45:33 The Real Jesus, Lesson 3: Jesus Our Protector Teryl Todd Psalm 91 “Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.” Matthew 10:28 NIV 1 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty [Whose power no foe can withstand]. 2 I will say of the Lord, He is my Refuge and my Fortress, my God; on Him I lean and rely, and in Him I [confidently] trust! 3 For [then] He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence. 4 [Then] He will cover you with His pinions, and under His wings shall you trust and find refuge; His truth and His faithfulness are a shield and a buckler. 5 You shall not be afraid of the terror of the night, nor of the arrow (the evil plots and slanders of the wicked) that flies by day. 6 Nor of the pestilence that stalks in darkness, nor of the destruction and sudden death that surprise and lay waste at noonday. 7 A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand, but it shall not come near you. 8 Only a spectator shall you be [yourself inaccessible in the secret place of the Most High] as you witness the reward of the wicked. 9 Because you have made the Lord your refuge, and the Most High your dwelling place, 10 There shall no evil befall you, nor any plague or calamity come near your tent. 11 For He will give His angels [especial] charge over you to accompany and defend and preserve you in all your ways [of obedience and service]. Psalms 91:1-11 AMPC 16 So he answered, “Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” 17 And Elisha prayed, and said, “Lord, I pray, open his eyes that he may see.” Then the Lord opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw. And behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha. 2 Kings 6:16-17 NKJV 12 They shall bear you up on their hands, lest you dash your foot against a stone.13 You shall tread upon the lion and adder; the young lion and the serpent shall you trample underfoot. 14 Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore will I deliver him; I will set him on high, because he knows and understands My name [has a personal knowledge of My mercy, love, and kindness—trusts and relies on Me, knowing I will never forsake him, no, never]. Psalms 91:12-14 AMPC 15 He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. 16 With long life will I satisfy him and show him My salvation. https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2017-04-02_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 03 Apr 2017 12:00:00 GMT 42:53 The Real Jesus, Lesson 4: Five Reasons You Need to Be Baptized in the Holy Spirit Teryl Todd John 4:13-14 13 Jesus answered and said to her, “Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, 14 but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.” John 4:13-14 …Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. 38 He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.” 39 But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified. John 7:37-39 11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. Matthew 3:11 12 His winnowing fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clean out His threshing floor, and gather His wheat into the barn; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.” Matthew 3:12 #1. We All Need Power To Overcome Sin and Reject Temptation! #2. The Holy Spirit Will Testify And Bear Witness Of Jesus In Your Heart! The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, 17 and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ... Romans 8:16-17 #3. It Is The Holy Spirit Who Gives You Understanding And Insight Into The Word Of God and Hearing The Voice of God. 8 And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 9 of sin, because they do not believe in Me; 10 of righteousness, because I go to My Father and you see Me no more; 11 of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged…12 “I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. John 16:8-12 However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth… John 16:13 #4. “You Need The Prayer Language Of The Holy Spirit!” Paul… came to Ephesus. And finding some disciples 2 he said to them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” So they said to him, “We have not so much as heard whether there is a Holy Spirit.” 3 And he said to them, “Into what then were you baptized?” So they said, “Into John’s baptism.” 4 Then Paul said, “John indeed baptized with a baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe on Him who would come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.” 5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 6 And when Paul had laid hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke with tongues and prophesied. Acts 19:1-6 #5. We All Need Power to Witness. https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2017-04-09_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 10 Apr 2017 12:00:00 GMT 45:34 The Real Jesus, Lesson 5: The Power of Christ's Resurrection Teryl Todd 1 Corinthians 15:3-7 3 For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures, 5 and that He was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve. 6 After that He was seen by over five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain to the present, but some have fallen asleep. 7 After that He was seen by James, then by all the apostles. 1 Corinthians 15:3-7 11 But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you. Romans 8:11 Six Things I do to live in the presence of Jesus: #1. Never Forget That God Is Your Source. #2. Act On God’s Word As A Way Of Life. #3. Don’t Lose The Excitement Of Living For Jesus! #4. Always Give Jesus The Glory, For Every Little Thing! #5. Think Back On Your Past Victories. #6. Always Testify. Always talk about God’s Goodness! https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2017-04-16_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 17 Apr 2017 12:00:00 GMT 35:51 Taking the Limits Off God, Lesson 1: Overcoming Fear Teryl Todd Psalms 78:41 Yes, again and again they tempted God, And limited the Holy One of Israel. Psalms 78:41 After the death of Moses the servant of the Lord, it came to pass that the Lord spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses’ assistant, saying: 2 “Moses My servant is dead. Now therefore, arise, go over this Jordan, you and all this people, to the land which I am giving to them—the children of Israel. 3 Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given you, as I said to Moses. 4 From the wilderness and this Lebanon as far as the great river, the River Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and to the Great Sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your territory. Joshua 1:1-4 5 No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life; as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you nor forsake you. Joshua 1:5 For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” 6 So we may boldly say: “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?” Hebrews 13:5-6 “Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.” Matthew 10:28 NIV 6 Be strong and of good courage, for to this people you shall divide as an inheritance the land which I swore to their fathers to give them. 7 Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go. Joshua 1:6-7 8 This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. 9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:6-9 https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2017-04-23_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 24 Apr 2017 12:00:00 GMT 55:15 Taking the Limits Off God, Lesson 2: Expect the Favor of God Teryl Todd Psalms 78:41 Yes, again and again they tempted God, And limited the Holy One of Israel. Psalms 78:41 Now Joshua the son of Nun sent out two men from Acacia Grove to spy secretly, saying, “Go, view the land, especially Jericho...” Joshua 2:1 A. Note v. 1: “to spy out secretly…” The fact that this was a classified mission reveals that Joshua intended to take Jericho by force and was unaware of the miracle that God planned for the armies of Israel. You can get so used to depending on yourself that you don’t expect God’s help and miraculous power. #1. EXPECT MIRACLES EVERY DAY! God Is At Work, Even When You Can’t Perceive It! Never Forget That God Is Your Source. Its’ important to always talk about God’s Goodness! To Always Testify about the goodness, and glory and greatness of our God! Sit around your dinner table and tell your kids and grandchildren about the day God saved you. About the time Jesus baptized you in the Holy Spirit. How God has met your needs. How God has healed you. How God has come through for you time and time again. Always remember, God is Good and the Devil is bad! God-Good; Devil-Bad… This will help you to make sense of the world and things going on… A. Our God is a wonderful God, a great God, and a good God! Jesus is a wonderful Jesus. A great Jesus! And a good Jesus! The Holy Spirit is a wonderful Holy Spirit. He is a great Holy Spirit! He is a good Holy Spirit! B. Some people talk about the devil as if He is a great devil. Some people think that God and the devil are in a boxing ring, fighting it out. C.How many remember the movie “Honey, I Shrunk The Kids!” Some people have shrunk God and blown up the devil. But you need to shrink the devil and place the focus on the King of Glory – our Lord Jesus Christ! D. God and the devil aren’t even in the same category! Not even in the same Universe! The devil is a created being and the Lord our God is the Creator! God said: “Let there be light!” And He has never rescinded that command. So light just continues to shine and shine from solar system to solar system throughout the universe! E. The devil has a beginning and an ending! God has not beginning nor ending. Jesus is the author and finisher of our faith. God has always existed and will always exist! F. On the Cross of Calvary, Jesus “disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.” Colossians 2:15 G. And the God of peace will crush Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen. Romans 16:20 H. The only power the devil has over you - is the power you give him. Oh yes, he may attack you. But you have authority over him, if you will use it. I. “nor give place to the devil." Ephesians 4:27 The devil will be cast into the lake of fire and brimstone… and will be tormented day and night forever and ever. Revelation 20:10 I expect a miracle every day of my life! Now Joshua the son of Nun sent out two men from Acacia Grove to spy secretly, saying, “Go, view the land, especially Jericho.” So they went, and came to the house of a harlot named Rahab, and lodged there. Joshua 2:1 A. For many years I read this verse and wondered, “Why did God have the spies to stay at the home of a prostitute?” They certainly didn’t go there to commit sin with her. B. But if you think about it, The house of Rahab was a perfect place for the spies to stay because of the constant flow of traffic – it was common for strange men to come and go all hours of the day and night. C. God led the two spies to the one person in Jericho who believed in the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob! D. “By faith the harlot Rahab did not perish with those who did not believe, when she had received the spies with peace.” Hebrews 11:31 E. Did you know that King David was a descendant of Rahab the harlot? Rahab married King David’s great, great grandfather, a man named Salmon. They had a little boy named Boaz, and Boaz married Ruth and they had a son named Obed. And Obed had a little boy named Jesse and Jesse was the father of David who slew a giant and became a king. F. By adoption, Jesus our Lord, was a descendant of Rahab. 28-generations after King David was born, we read: 16 And Jacob begot Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus who is called Christ. Matthew 1:16 G. Don’t ever condemn yourself because of your past. Don’t ever tell yourself, “Well God can’t use me, because look at all the sin I have been in.” “God can’t use me because my father was a bootlegger and my mother was a harlot.” God can’t use me because my father was in the Mafia and I don’t know who my mother is. God can’t use me because I used to hold up 7/11’s and deal drugs, why I even killed a person. Moses too killed a man. Saul of Tarsus consented to the death of Stephen, a deacon in the early church. H. God can save from the uttermost to the guttermost! The blood of Jesus knows no boundaries! It reaches to the highest mountains and flows to the lowest valleys. The blood that gives us strength from day to day, will never lose its power! 2 And it was told the king of Jericho, saying, “Behold, men have come here tonight from the children of Israel to search out the country.” 3 So the king of Jericho sent to Rahab, saying, “Bring out the men who have come to you, who have entered your house, for they have come to search out all the country.” 4 Then the woman took the two men and hid them. So she said, “Yes, the men came to me, but I did not know where they were from. 5 And it happened as the gate was being shut, when it was dark, that the men went out. Where the men went I do not know; pursue them quickly, for you may overtake them.” 6 (But she had brought them up to the roof and hidden them with the stalks of flax, which she had laid in order on the roof.) A. Lying is never justifiable. But in this case because of Rahab’s immature faith; it is understandable. B. Flax is a plant used for making clothe and candlewicks. When it is harvested it is soaked to separate the fibers, then dried on rooftops. 7 Then the men pursued them by the road to the Jordan, to the fords. And as soon as those who pursued them had gone out, they shut the gate. 8 Now before they lay down, she came up to them on the roof, 9 and said to the men: “I know that the Lord has given you the land, that the terror of you has fallen on us, and that all the inhabitants of the land are fainthearted because of you. 10 For we have heard how the Lord dried up the water of the Red Sea for you when you came out of Egypt, and what you did to the two kings of the Amorites who were on the other side of the Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom you utterly destroyed. 11 And as soon as we heard these things, our hearts melted; neither did there remain any more courage in anyone because of you, for the Lord your God, He is God in heaven above and on earth beneath. Joshua 2:8-11 #2. Expect God’s Favor When You Follow His Word and The Holy Spirit’s Direction. Prov. 16:7 – “When a man’s ways please the Lord, He makes even His enemies to be at peace with him.” (See Joshua 2:24) A. 40 years earlier God wanted the Israelites to expect His favor and to enter the Promised Land – a land flowing with milk and honey. It was lush! A cluster of grapes was so big it needed to be placed on a pole and carried between two men. Those grapes were huge! That is how blessed the land was! B. But the Israelites focused their attention on the wrong thing. They looked at the size of the inhabitants rather than the land God told them to possess. They saw the people as giants and themselves as grasshoppers. C. It doesn’t matter how people see us. It matters how God see us! D. 40 years later, Rahab the harlot, takes these 2 spies in and hides them from the king and she asks the spies to have mercy on her and her family when Israel conquers Jericho. E. Look closely at Rahab’s words in verses 9-11. The terror of you has fallen on us… F. Rahab tells the spies what the people living in Canaan have been thinking for 40 years – the whole time the original 12 Israelite spies were saying: “We can’t conquer Canaan. The people who dwell there are strong. The cities are walled, and the descendants of Anak live there – the giants! The people are stronger than we are – men of great stature. In our own sight we are but grasshoppers – and so we are in their sight. (Numbers 13) G. The people of Canaan are saying... Joshua 2:9-11 H. "Their hearts had melted and their strength had left them” Andrew Wommack says:. "If the Israelites had analyzed their situation properly, it would have been a cakewalk for them to go into the Promised Land. God would have given them total victory. But instead they looked at the size of the people, and focused their attention on the natural instead of obeying God and looking for His supernatural help. They delayed His plan from coming to pass for 40 years. They limited God!" I. Lets contrast this with David, when he went out to face Goliath. The rest of King Saul’s mighty men are hiding behind the rocks because they are afraid of the giant Goliath. J. Young David looks at him and asks: “Who is this uncircumcised Philistine?” David was talking about the covenant of circumcision. He looked at Goliath and says, “This guy doesn’t have a covenant relationship with my God!” Goliath isn’t one of God’s people?” “Who does he think he is to stand against God’s people?” K. This is the attitude we need to have when unbelievers criticize us – whether they are family members, friends, co-workers, or people in positions of authority. L. If they don't know God then our opinion of God is better than their opinion of God. After all, their opinion is sending them to hell. M. Nobody can intimidate you without your consent and cooperation. No one can have influence over you, unless you give it to them. If you are afraid to share your faith because you are afraid about what someone is going to say about you, then you have a fear of man, rather than a fear of God. N. When we let a fear of man determine what we do, it is actually an indication of a deficiency in us, not in them. It is not the people who criticize us who are the problem. We are the problem! 12 Now therefore, I beg you, swear to me by the Lord, since I have shown you kindness, that you also will show kindness to my father’s house, and give me a true token, 13 and spare my father, my mother, my brothers, my sisters, and all that they have, and deliver our lives from death.” 14 So the men answered her, “Our lives for yours, if none of you tell this business of ours. And it shall be, when the Lord has given us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with you.” 15 Then she let them down by a rope through the window, for her house was on the city wall; she dwelt on the wall. 16 And she said to them, “Get to the mountain, lest the pursuers meet you. Hide there three days, until the pursuers have returned. Afterward you may go your way.” 17 So the men said to her: “We will be blameless of this oath of yours which you have made us swear, 18 unless, when we come into the land, you bind this line of scarlet cord in the window through which you let us down, and unless you bring your father, your mother, your brothers, and all your father’s household to your own home. A. The scarlet cord would enable Israel’s army to identify Rahab’s house and spare all within (v.12-13). B.The blood red cord hanging from Rahab’s window saved Rahab and her family from death. So too, Christ shed His blood and hung on the cross to save us from death. C. 2,000 years ago on Calvary’s Cross, Jesus Christ the Son of God willingly gave His life on a cruel Roman Cross and His blood turned that Cross Crimson and the blood of Jesus Christ will never lose it’s power! D. Jesus paid the price for the sins of the world! He offers forgiveness of sins to every person. He doesn’t have to die again for you to be saved. You simply have to accept the gift of eternal life that He offers! https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2017-04-30_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 01 May 2017 12:00:00 GMT 43:53 Taking the Limits Off God, Lesson 3: From Frustration to Occupation Teryl Todd Joshua 3 Have you ever felt frustrated? Have you ever been working toward something, only to have things not work out? Joshua Chapter 3 is about resolving frustration. In this chapter we read about a nation who numbered about 2 and a 1/2 million people – they have been frustrated for the last 40 years. For 40 years they have been wandering around in the wilderness. For 40 years they have been homeless – sleeping in tents. These people know if they can just get across the Jordan River, they can reach their Promised Land. But there was a BIG OBSTACLE. The problem was the swollen Jordan River. Normally the Jordan River was easy to cross. But it was the Spring of the year, and the Spring rains and the melting snow from Mount Hermon had created Flood Conditions. If anyone knew failure, it was the Children of Israel. If anyone knew disappointment it was the Children of Israel! if anyone knew what it was to miss blessings of victory – it was the Children of Israel. 40 years earlier their forefathers had stood poised to cross into the Promised Land, but they let problems discourage them and they turned back. Yes, again and again they tempted God, And limited the Holy One of Israel. Psalms 78:41 Hope deferred makes the heart sick, But when the desire comes, it is a tree of life. Proverbs 13:12 God had a strategy to get all 2.5 million people across the flooded river. And God has a strategy to get you into your Promised Land. God has a strategy to get you from where you are to where you need to be. I have a friend who served as an Associate Pastor for over 15 years. His father was the Senior Pastor and my friend served with His dad. His dad became sick and died, and my friend was named the Senior Pastor. My friend told me that 6 months after he became the Senior Pastor, that it seemed that everyone in the congregation began finding fault with him. The board members were constantly getting on his case, and members of the congregation seemed to always be upset with him… One day he called me and said, “I’m miserable, and though I am supposed to be the leader, no one is submitting and yielding to my leadership as the Pastor. When I started serving at this church, I was submitted to the Lord Jesus Christ and acting like a Christian, and I refuse to fight with people and demand they yield to my authority. I am going to resign and see what God does for me. 3 months went by and became the pastor of a congregation that at one time had run over 500 on Sundays, but had gone down hill and were down to about 50 people on Sunday mornings. He and his family moved to the location of that congregation. He told me that within the first year their attendance doubled. Then it doubled a second time and finally doubled a 3rd time. I saw him in March and he told me he was the happiest he had ever been in his life. God knows how to get you to your Promised Land. He knows how to get you to where you need to be! Verse 1 - Then Joshua rose early in the morning; and they set out from Acacia Grove and came to the Jordan, he and all the children of Israel, and lodged there before they crossed over. 2 So it was, after three days, that the officers went through the camp; 3 and they commanded the people, saying, “When you see the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, and the priests, the Levites, bearing it, then you shall set out from your place and go after it. 4 Yet there shall be a space between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure. Do not come near it, that you may know the way by which you must go, for you have not passed this way before.” Joshua 3:1-4 #1. v.3 – You Will Never Enter All That God Has For You – If You Don’t Learn To Listen To and Obey The Word of God and the Inward Voice of the Holy Spirit. A. The people had to decide, am I going to listen to what God is saying through Joshua? Or am I going to ignore what he says? If you are going to move from Frustration to Occupation, you have to listen to and obey what God says to do. “If you continue in My word, you are My disciples indeed. 32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” John 8:31 3 and they commanded the people, saying, “When you see the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, and the priests, the Levites, bearing it, then you shall set out from your place and go after it. Joshua 1:3 6 Then Joshua spoke to the priests, saying, “Take up the ark of the covenant and cross over before the people.” So they took up the ark of the covenant and went before the people. Joshua 1:6 #2. For 40 years the Nation of Israel has been following a pillar-shaped-cloud by day and a pillar-of-fire by night. In the cloud was the very Shekinah presence of God. A. When the cloud moved, the entire nation of Israel moved… When the cloud stopped – 2.5 million people stopped and camped. But now God is teaching a new lesson – He is saying: “I no longer want you to follow the cloud, because My Presence Is No Longer in the Cloud. I want you to learn to follow the Ark, because My presence is now with the Ark of the Covenant!” B. The Ark of the Covenant was a small box made of Acacia wood and overlaid with gold. It was just under 4 ft. long, and a little over 2 foot long and 2 foot wide. On top of the box was The Mercy Seat. C. On the Day of Atonement, the High Priest sacrificed a bull for the sins of the nation and sprinkled some of the blood on the Mercy Seat asking God to atone for the sins of the nation. D. On both ends of the Mercy Seat were Cherubim (Angels) fashioned out of gold. And their wings met above the Mercy Seat. And God Himself, chose to dwell between the wings of the Cherubim which adorned the top of the mercy seat. E. God was teaching a lesson – IF YOU WANT TO BE SUCCESSFUL, YOU HAVE TO LEARN TO FOLLOW THE ANOINTING! FOLLOW THE HOLY SPIRIT! F. We Live in the New Testament and WE DON’T FOLLOW THE ARK OF THE COVENANT. WE FOLLOW OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST! Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith... Heb. 12:1 G. We follow the Holy Sprit who now lives inside us. H. The Anointing is the manifest presence of God. The Lord is omnipresent, but He is not manifesting or displaying His power everywhere. When God’s presence is manifest, something happens! I. The anointing is tangible. It can be felt. Just like electricity is tangible, so the anointing is tangible. J. I once read a Bible Commentary by a world-renowned theologian, who attempted to explain away every Scripture that contained any reference to the anointing. He said the power of God is not available for our day and time. K. There are a lot of churches that deny the power of God, but many are closing – because they have nothing to offer people. ‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ Says the Lord of hosts. Zechariah 4:6 I once told the Lord that if He wasn’t going to do anything in my church services than I wasn’t going to do anything. He told me that He was waiting on me, not that I was waiting on Him. And If I would just give Him an opportunity to move, then He would move. It shall come to pass in that day that his burden will be taken away from your shoulder, And his yoke from your neck, And the yoke will be destroyed because of the anointing oil. Isaiah 10:27 If I come into your house and break something, you will be able to glue it back together again. But if I destroy it, you will not be able to fix it up ever again. There is a big difference between a yoke that is broken and a yoke that is destroyed. On Thursday, I was privileged to participate in the National Day of Prayer on the 22nd floor of the State Capital. Rodney Howard-Browne was one of the guest speakers and also prayed for our Governor and President. A couple of months ago, RHB told how when he was teaching in a Bible College that one of his students asked him to come to the Hospital and to pray for his aunt who was dying of cancer. Rodney said that when he arrived at the hospital he realized the lady was in critical condition, He felt prompted to say: “You spirit of death and cancer, I adjure you by Jesus Christ of Nazareth, the Son of the Living God, to come out of this woman.” He said that he felt impressed to say it again and again – for the next 20 minutes. He kept saying: “You spirit of death and cancer. I adjure you buy Jesus Christ of Nazareth, the Son of the Living God, to come out of this woman. I curse you, just as Jesus cursed the fig tree. I curse this cancer.” He said, something happened so suddenly that one minute it wasn’t there, the next minute it was. The power of God hit the woman. It started at the top of her head and then moved down to her feet. Her whole body began to shake until the bed shook. The power of God hit her nephew who was reserved and quiet, and he began to shout. God’s power shook this woman right out of bed and she was healed by the power of the Holy Ghost. The next day she went shopping. That is how you really know that the woman was healed! The anointing is not a feeling, but it can be felt. It is as if you unscrewed a light bulb and stuck your finger in the socket, you would have a shocking experience. The anointing is not people falling under the power, yet often people can be overcome by the anointing and people feel weak in their bodies and fall under the power of God. The anointing is like the wind. You can’t see the wind, but you can see the results where it blows. You can’t see the anointing, but you can see the results. People get saved. People get healed, set free and delivered. I have long wondered why some Christians never seem to sense His presence. And it is because we get so caught up in the affairs of this life that our thought life is far from God. Most of our waking moments are taken up with thinking about us and all the things we want to do. We fail to spend time in worship or in communication with the Lord. It is like we are on a different wave length. It is like having a radio and wanting to listen to a certain station but not turning into the correct frequency and never picking up the signal. But when you make the adjustment down in your spirit, suddenly the signal comes in loud and clear! K. Dad praying at his office and stopped at a home in Midtown. Knocked and heard a faint voice saying come in. Entered front door and heard the voice saying I am confined to my bed come back here. There was an elderly lady burning up with a fever. She said: “Sir, you must be a man of God. I have been sick for 3 days and have asked God to send me a man of God to rebuke this sickness from my body.” Dad laid his hands on her head rebuked the sickness and she was filled with the Holy Spirit. On his way out he laid some money on the kitchen table and was gone… 8 You shall command the priests who bear the ark of the covenant, saying, ‘When you have come to the edge of the water of the Jordan, you shall stand in the Jordan.’” Joshua 1:8 14 So it was, when the people set out from their camp to cross over the Jordan, with the priests bearing the ark of the covenant before the people, 15 and as those who bore the ark came to the Jordan, and the feet of the priests who bore the ark dipped in the edge of the water (for the Jordan overflows all its banks during the whole time of harvest), 16 that the waters which came down from upstream stood still, and rose in a heap very far away at Adam, the city that is beside Zaretan. So the waters that went down into the Sea of the Arabah, the Salt Sea, failed, and were cut off; and the people crossed over opposite Jericho. Joshua 3:14-16 17 Then the priests who bore the ark of the covenant of the Lord stood firm on dry ground in the midst of the Jordan; and all Israel crossed over on dry ground, until all the people had crossed completely over the Jordan. Joshua 3:17 #3. (v.14) The miracle didn’t take place until the people “set out” in obedience to God. A. It took faith for the priests to walk out into the Jordan River at flood time. It required faith in God for them to place their feet in that cold treacherous river! B. We should expect miracles every day, but remember: “Miracles first require obedience. You have to obey when you can’t see that a miracle is around the corner.” C. It took faith for David to walk out on the battlefield to face the giant Goliath. The rest of King Saul’s mighty men are hiding behind the rocks because they are afraid of the giant. D. Young David looks at Goliath and asks: “Who is this uncircumcised Philistine?” David was talking about the covenant of circumcision. He looked at Goliath and says, “This guy doesn’t have a covenant relationship with my God!” Goliath isn’t one of God’s people?” “Who does he think he is to stand against God’s people?” It took faith to began walking across a cold swollen river like the Jordan in the Spring of the year. Some years ago, Kathy and I were privileged to tour Israel and in April when the Jordan is flooded with the melting snows from Mount Hermon, I stood in that cold water and baptized over 45 people. Calvary Chapel Church in Costa Mesa California have created a modern baptism area in the Jordan River and have anchored steel hand rails to hold on to – to keep the Spring flood waters from washing you away. Very cold and numb when I got out of the waters. 5 And Joshua said to the people, “Sanctify yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you.” Joshua 3:5 God wants you to live a life of consecration to Jesus Christ and to His Word! What is consecration? It is dedicating our hearts completely to Jesus and to His purposes. It involves getting right with God through repentance, confession, and if necessary restitution. It always means that we come clean with God about every aspect of our lives. “I’ll go where you want me to go and I say what you want me to say and I will do what you want me to do.” "I am yours Lord! Not gonna hold back." C. Often Consecration prepares the way for the miraculous demonstration of God’s power. It paves the way for victory in your life! https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2017-05-07_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 08 May 2017 12:00:00 GMT 37:28 Jochebed - God is at Work - Mother's Day 2017 with Terri Hill Terri Hill Happy Mother's Day! Exodus 2:1-10 (NKJV) Moses Is Born 2 And a man of the house of Levi went and took as wife a daughter of Levi. 2 So the woman conceived and bore a son. And when she saw that he was a beautiful child, she hid him three months. 3 But when she could no longer hide him, she took an ark of bulrushes for him, daubed it with asphalt and pitch, put the child in it, and laid it in the reeds by the river’s bank. 4 And his sister stood afar off, to know what would be done to him. 5 Then the daughter of Pharaoh came down to bathe at the river. And her maidens walked along the riverside; and when she saw the ark among the reeds, she sent her maid to get it. 6 And when she opened it, she saw the child, and behold, the baby wept. So she had compassion on him, and said, “This is one of the Hebrews’ children.” 7 Then his sister said to Pharaoh’s daughter, “Shall I go and call a nurse for you from the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for you?” 8 And Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Go.” So the maiden went and called the child’s mother. 9 Then Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Take this child away and nurse him for me, and I will give you your wages.” So the woman took the child and nursed him. 10 And the child grew, and she brought him to Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became her son. So she called his name Moses,[a] saying, “Because I drew him out of the water.” 1.Be a mother of Courage 2.Be a mother of Wisdom Proverbs 9:10 (NKJV) 10 “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. Mark 6:47-52 -47 Late that night, the disciples were in their boat in the middle of the lake, and Jesus was alone on land. 48 He saw that they were in serious trouble, rowing hard and struggling against the wind and waves. About three o’clock in the morning[a] Jesus came toward them, walking on the water. He intended to go past them, 49 but when they saw him walking on the water, they cried out in terror, thinking he was a ghost. 50 They were all terrified when they saw him. But Jesus spoke to them at once. “Don’t be afraid,” he said. “Take courage! I am here![b]”51 Then he climbed into the boat, and the wind stopped. They were totally amazed. Exodus 14:14 NIV -The LORD will fight for you; you need only to BE STILL! 3.Be a mother of Faith 1 Timothy 6:12 (NKJV) 12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. Hebrews 11:1 NLT Faith shows the reality of what we hope for; it is the evidence of things we cannot see. Proverbs 3:5-6 MSG Trust God from the bottom of your heart; don’t try to figure out everything on your own.

The day before, was her birthday, she turned 89 years old. On Saturday, the Doctors had called the family and told us she could pass that day… But it was just like Mom to wait until church was over last Sunday to go home to heaven. I am glad that Deanie Todd was prepared for eternity! She loved Jesus Christ with all of her heart and she endeavored to do His Will. When I was 15 yrs. old, my dad entered full time ministry as a traveling evangelist. For periods of time, my mom was both mom and dad to my sister and me. Many times I heard my parents in their bedroom praying: “Lord, we consecrate our lives to You! We want to be in your will more than we want anything in this world. We will go where you want us to go. We will be what you want us to be. We will say what you want us to say and we will and we will do what you want us to do." God loves it when we prepare to do His will! Preparation is very important in life. Preparation is often the difference between success and failure. Someone said, “Good fortune is where Preparation meets Opportunity!” The Florida State Football team lost a game last season to the University of North Carolina – a game they should have won. Some of the players admitted they didn’t prepare for the game, as they should have. Joshua chapter five tells us that God wanted to do some preparatory work inside the Children of Israel before they went to war with the Seven Heathen Nations that occupied the Promised Land. So it was, when all the kings of the Amorites who were on the west side of the Jordan, and all the kings of the Canaanites who were by the sea, heard that the Lord had dried up the waters of the Jordan from before the children of Israel until we had crossed over, that their heart melted; and there was no spirit in them any longer because of the children of Israel. Joshua 5:1 Note verse 1: The people of the land are extremely intimidated by the presence of Israel. The Scripture says: - Their hearts melted - There was not more spirit in them to face Israel – they lost their Courage, and lost their Backbone! Note verse 2: At that time the Lord said to Joshua, “Make flint knives for yourself, and circumcise the sons of Israel again the second time.” Joshua 5:2 God says, before you conquer the Land, I want you to do something. I want every male to be operated on – I want every soldier to first have surgery. “I want the flesh of every soldier’s private area to be cut away." Circumcision was introduced in Genesis chapter 17. God told Abraham, I am giving you a sign – a symbol of our Covenant Relationship – the sign is going to require surgery - the cutting away of the foreskin of your private area. In my mind, I can see Abraham saying, “God, did I hear you right?” “You want to do surgery where?” “That is kind of a delicate area Lord, how about doing surgery on my arm?” “That would be more comfortable.” I imagine Joshua was thinking, “Lord, can’t we do this after we fight the battles and take the land?” “Our entire army is going to need time to recuperate and heal.” “Right now, all the nations are afraid of us, can’t we go to war and strike while the iron is hot?” But no doubt, Joshua remembers the charge God gave him in Chapter One. God told Joshua that OBEDIENCE to Him Was the key to success! 8 This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. Joshua 1:8 3 So Joshua made flint knives for himself, and circumcised the sons of Israel at the hill of the foreskins. 4 And this is the reason why Joshua circumcised them: All the people who came out of Egypt who were males, all the men of war, had died in the wilderness on the way, after they had come out of Egypt. 5 For all the people who came out had been circumcised, but all the people born in the wilderness, on the way as they came out of Egypt, had not been circumcised. 6 For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the people who were men of war, who came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they did not obey the voice of the Lord—to whom the Lord swore that He would not show them the land which the Lord had sworn to their fathers that He would give us, “a land flowing with milk and honey.”7 Then Joshua circumcised their sons whom He raised up in their place; for they were uncircumcised, because they had not been circumcised on the way. Joshua 5:3-7 God didn’t want men in His army who didn’t bear the mark of circumcision. Because in the O.T. Circumcision speaks of COVENANT COMMITMENT! It was a mark of commitment to God and a mark of personal purity before the Lord. But what God really wanted wasn’t just the circumcision of the flesh. He wanted a circumcision of their heart! 16 Therefore circumcise the foreskin of your heart, and be stiff-necked no longer. Deuteronomy 10:16 6 And the Lord your God will circumcise your heart and the heart of your descendants, to love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, that you may live. Deuteronomy 30:6 Circumcise yourselves to the Lord, And take away the foreskins of your hearts… Jeremiah 4:4 You can be circumcised physically, but not have a circumcised heart! You can bear in your body the symbol of a relationship with God, but not really have a relationship with God! “You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears! You always resist the Holy Spirit; as your fathers did, so do you. Acts 7:51 For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh, Philippines 3:3 Circumcision of heart is when you completely give your will over to God. A circumcised heart doesn’t try to tell God how to run the universe. A circumcised heart doesn’t tell God how to answer your prayers. A circumcised heart says: “Not my will, but thy will be done.” I completely give my will over go to God. And I have “no will” in this matter. Both Isaiah 14 and Ezekiel 28 tell us that Lucifer at one time had a great anointing in His life. He led all of heaven in worship, but He wasn’t radically sold out to God. He began to traffic in the anointing – he made merchandise of the anointing and was cast to earth along with 1/3 of the Angels. Rebellion turns angels into devils! 11 Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 12 “Son of man, take up a lamentation for the king of Tyre, and say to him, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “You were the seal of perfection, Full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. 13 You were in Eden, the garden of God; Every precious stone was your covering: The sardius, topaz, and diamond, Beryl, onyx, and jasper, Sapphire, turquoise, and emerald with gold. The workmanship of your timbrels and pipes Was prepared for you on the day you were created. 14 “You were the anointed cherub who covers; I established you; You were on the holy mountain of God; You walked back and forth in the midst of fiery stones. 15 You were perfect in your ways from the day you were created, Till iniquity was found in you. 16 “By the abundance of your trading You became filled with violence within, And you sinned; Therefore I cast you as a profane thing Out of the mountain of God; And I destroyed you, O covering cherub, From the midst of the fiery stones. 17 “Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty; You corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor; I cast you to the ground, I laid you before kings, That they might gaze at you.18 “You defiled your sanctuaries By the multitude of your iniquities, By the iniquity of your trading; Therefore I brought fire from your midst; It devoured you, And I turned you to ashes upon the earth In the sight of all who saw you. 19 All who knew you among the peoples are astonished at you; You have become a horror, And shall be no more forever.”’” Ezekiel 28:11-19 Lucifer’s Sin was Pride – (Pride goes before a fall and a haughty spirit before destruction.) But when pastors and ministers fall today, it isn’t just the pride – but usually another sin that causes the fall – (Women or Money). The pride is there, but it isn’t always manifesting to everyone. Pride leads to an uncircumcised heart and uncircumcised ears. I have been in services where notable miracles have taken place, healings and mighty signs and wonders and in some cases, I have seen pastors and evangelists stop everything to receive a second or third offering – because emotions are high and people are excited – that is Merchandising the anointing. Some pastor and evangelists pray regularly for spectacular miracles and healings to take place in their ministry – not to help hurting people – but so that they can get the credit and be a “big time” minister. “A big shot preacher.” In Acts 8, Simon the Sorcerer believed in Jesus Christ and was baptized in water. But when he saw Peter and John laying hands on people and folks receiving the Holy Spirit – he offered them money: “Give me this power also, that anyone on whom I lay hands may receive the Holy Spirit.” 20 But Peter said to him, “Your money perish with you, because you thought that the gift of God could be purchased with money! 21 You have neither part nor portion in this matter, for your heart is not right in the sight of God. 22 Repent therefore of this your wickedness, and pray God if perhaps the thought of your heart may be forgiven you. 23 For I see that you are poisoned by bitterness and bound by iniquity.” Acts 8:18-23 Circumcision of heart is when you completely give your will over to God. A circumcised heart says: “Not my will, but thy will be done.” I completely give my will over go to God. And I have “no will” in this matter. This is what Jesus did in the Garden of Gethsemane. “If it be possible, let this cup pass from me, nevertheless, not my will by Thy will be done!” When I first sensed God was calling me into the ministry, it scared me so I backed off my walk with the Lord… It took me several years before I was willing to give full control of my life over to God. Took me some time before I was willing to TRUST God enough to say: “I am yours Lord. I want to be radically committed to you!” “Not my will, but thine be done…” All Stand – Altar Call “I want God’s will more than I want anything in this world. I want to love God and to please Him more than I want anything in this world. I love God with all of my heart and I want to fulfill His purposes for my life. I consecrate myself to Jesus anew and afresh.” https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2017-05-21_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 22 May 2017 12:00:00 GMT 47:20 Your Journey by Youth Pastor Zach Barnes Zach Barnes Psalm 84 and Romans 5 Psalm 84:5-7 5 Blessed are those whose strength is in you, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage. 6 As they pass through the Valley of Baka, they make it a place of springs; the autumn rains also cover it with pools. 7 They go from strength to strength, till each appears before God in Zion.

And Joshua went to Him and said to Him, “Are You for us or for our adversaries?” 14 So He said, “No, but as Commander of the army of the Lord I have now come.” And Joshua fell on his face to the earth and worshiped, and said to Him, “What does my Lord say to His servant?” 15 Then the Commander of the Lord’s army said to Joshua, “Take your sandal off your foot, for the place where you stand is holy.” And Joshua did so. Joshua 5:13-15 I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth. 2 My soul shall make its boast in the Lord; The humble shall hear of it and be glad. 3 Oh, magnify the Lord with me, And let us exalt His name together. 4 I sought the Lord, and He heard me, And delivered me from all my fears. Psalms 34:1-4 13 And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted his eyes and looked, and behold, a Man stood opposite him with His sword drawn in His hand. And Joshua went to Him and said to Him, “Are You for us or for our adversaries?” 14 So He said, “No, but as Commander of the army of the Lord I have now come.” And Joshua fell on his face to the earth and worshiped, and said to Him, “What does my Lord say to His servant?” Joshua 5:13-14 15 And when the servant of the man of God arose early and went out, there was an army, surrounding the city with horses and chariots. And his servant said to him, “Alas, my master! What shall we do?” 16 So he answered, “Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” 17 And Elisha prayed, and said, “Lord, I pray, open his eyes that he may see.” Then the Lord opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw. And behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha. 2 Kings 6:17-18 15 Then the Commander of the Lord’s army said to Joshua, “Take your sandal off your foot, for the place where you stand is holy.” And Joshua did so. Joshua 5:15 https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2017-06-04_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 05 Jun 2017 12:00:00 GMT 38:43 Taking the Limits Off God, Lesson 6: Seeing the Walls Fall Teryl Todd Joshua 6 Now Jericho was securely shut up because of the children of Israel; none went out, and none came in. Joshua 6:1 2 And the Lord said to Joshua: “See! I have given Jericho into your hand, its king, and the mighty men of valor. Joshua 6:2 3 You shall march around the city, all you men of war; you shall go all around the city once. This you shall do six days. Joshua 6:3 4 And seven priests shall bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark. But the seventh day you shall march around the city seven times, and the priests shall blow the trumpets. 5 It shall come to pass, when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, and when you hear the sound of the trumpet, that all the people shall shout with a great shout; then the wall of the city will fall down flat. And the people shall go up every man straight before him.” 6 Then Joshua the son of Nun called the priests and said to them, “Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark of the Lord.” 7 And he said to the people, “Proceed, and march around the city, and let him who is armed advance before the ark of the Lord.” 8 So it was, when Joshua had spoken to the people, that the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the Lord advanced and blew the trumpets, and the ark of the covenant of the Lord followed them. 9 The armed men went before the priests who blew the trumpets, and the rear guard came after the ark, while the priests continued blowing the trumpets. 10 Now Joshua had commanded the people, saying, “You shall not shout or make any noise with your voice, nor shall a word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I say to you, ‘Shout!’ Then you shall shout.” 11 So he had the ark of the Lord circle the city, going around it once. Then they came into the camp and lodged in the camp. Joshua 6:4-11 “We went to the land where you sent us. It truly flows with milk and honey, and this is its fruit. 28 Nevertheless the people who dwell in the land are strong; the cities are fortified and very large; moreover we saw the descendants of (the giant) there. Numbers 13:27-28 30 Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, “Let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome it.”31 But the men who had gone up with him said, “We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we.” “The land… is a land that devours its inhabitants, and all the people whom we saw in it are men of great stature. 33 There we saw the giants (the descendants of Anak came from the giants); and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight.” Numbers 13:30-33 12 And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of the Lord. 13 Then seven priests bearing seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark of the Lord went on continually and blew with the trumpets. And the armed men went before them. But the rear guard came after the ark of the Lord, while the priests continued blowing the trumpets. 14 And the second day they marched around the city once and returned to the camp. So they did six days.15 But it came to pass on the seventh day that they rose early, about the dawning of the day, and marched around the city seven times in the same manner. On that day only they marched around the city seven times. 16 And the seventh time it happened, when the priests blew the trumpets, that Joshua said to the people: “Shout, for the Lord has given you the city! Joshua 6:12-16 20 So the people shouted when the priests blew the trumpets. And it happened when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat. Then the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city. Joshua 6:20 https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2017-06-11_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 12 Jun 2017 12:00:00 GMT 39:55 Taking the Limits Off God, Lesson 7: Grace In Our Failure Teryl Todd Joshua 7 “…My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” 2 Corinthians 12:9 But Israel violated the instructions about the things set apart for the Lord. A man named Achan had stolen some of these dedicated things, so the Lord was very angry with the Israelites. Achan was the son of Carmi, a descendant of Zimri son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah. Joshua 7:1 NLT 19 Everything made from silver, gold, bronze, or iron is sacred to the Lord and must be brought into his treasury.” Joshua 6:19 NLT 2 Joshua sent some of his men from Jericho to spy out the town of Ai, east of Bethel, near Beth-aven. 3 When they returned, they told Joshua, “There’s no need for all of us to go up there; it won’t take more than two or three thousand men to attack Ai. Since there are so few of them, don’t make all our people struggle to go up there.” 4 So approximately 3,000 warriors were sent, but they were soundly defeated. The men of Ai 5 chased the Israelites from the town gate as far as the quarries, and they killed about thirty-six who were retreating down the slope. The Israelites were paralyzed with fear at this turn of events, and their courage melted away. 6 Joshua and the elders of Israel tore their clothing in dismay, threw dust on their heads, and bowed face down to the ground before the Ark of the Lord until evening. 7 Then Joshua cried out, “Oh, Sovereign Lord, why did you bring us across the Jordan River if you are going to let the Amorites kill us? If only we had been content to stay on the other side! 8 Lord, what can I say now that Israel has fled from its enemies? Joshua 7:2-8 NLT 10 But the Lord said to Joshua, “Get up! Why are you lying on your face like this? 11 Israel has sinned and broken my covenant! They have stolen some of the things that I commanded must be set apart for me. And they have not only stolen them but have lied about it and hidden the things among their own belongings. 12 That is why the Israelites are running from their enemies in defeat. For now Israel itself has been set apart for destruction. I will not remain with you any longer unless you destroy the things among you that were set apart for destruction. Joshua 7:10-12 NLT 19 Then Joshua said to Achan, “My son, give glory to the Lord, the God of Israel, by telling the truth. Make your confession and tell me what you have done. Don’t hide it from me.” 20 Achan replied, “It is true! I have sinned against the Lord, the God of Israel. 21 Among the plunder I saw a beautiful robe from Babylon, 200 silver coins, and a bar of gold weighing more than a pound. I wanted them so much that I took them. They are hidden in the ground beneath my tent, with the silver buried deeper than the rest.” 22 So Joshua sent some men to make a search. They ran to the tent and found the stolen goods hidden there, just as Achan had said, with the silver buried beneath the rest. 23 They took the things from the tent and brought them to Joshua and all the Israelites. Then they laid them on the ground in the presence of the Lord. Joshua 7:19-23 39 Then the contention became so sharp that they parted from one another. And so Barnabas took Mark and sailed to Cyprus. Acts 15:39. “Love is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs” (1 Corinthians 13:5). But Zion said, “The Lord has forsaken me, And my Lord has forgotten me.” 15 “Can a woman forget her nursing child, And not have compassion on the son of her womb? Surely they may forget, Yet I will not forget you. 16 See, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands; Your walls are continually before Me.

Psalms 78:41 18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. 1 John 4:18 (Verse One ) Oh Lord I am your willing servant - You know that I have been for years - I'm here in this pew every Sunday and Wednesday - I've stained it with many a tear - I've given You years of my service - I've always given my best - And I've never asked you for anything much - So, Lord I deserve this request (Chorus:) Please don't send me to Africa I don't think I've got what it takes I'm just a man, I'm not a Tarzan Don't like lions, gorillas or snakes I'll serve you here in suburbia In my comfortable middle class life But please don't send me out into the bush Where the natives are restless at night (Verse Two ) I'll see that the money is gathered - I'll see that the money is sent - I'll wash and stack the communion cups - I'll tithe eleven percent - I'll volunteer for the nursery - I'll go on the youth group retreat - I'll usher, I'll deacon , I'll go door to door - Just let me keep warming this seat (Chorus) Please don't send me to Africa I don't think I've got what it takes I'm just a man I'm not a Tarzan Don't like lions, gorillas or snakes I'll serve you here in suburbia In my comfortable middle class life But please don't send me to the ends of the earth Where the natives are restless at night – “Please Don’t Send Me To Africa.” by Scott Wesley Brown. 3 Now there were four leprous men at the entrance of the gate; and they said to one another, “Why are we sitting here until we die? 4 If we say, ‘We will enter the city,’ the famine is in the city, and we shall die there. And if we sit here, we die also. Now therefore, come, let us surrender to the army of the Syrians. If they keep us alive, we shall live; and if they kill us, we shall only die.” 5 And they rose at twilight to go to the camp of the Syrians; and when they had come to the outskirts of the Syrian camp, to their surprise no one was there. 6 For the Lord had caused the army of the Syrians to hear the noise of chariots and the noise of horses—the noise of a great army; so they said to one another, “Look, the king of Israel has hired against us the kings of the Hittites and the kings of the Egyptians to attack us!” 7 Therefore they arose and fled at twilight, and left the camp intact—their tents, their horses, and their donkeys—and they fled for their lives. 8 And when these lepers came to the outskirts of the camp, they went into one tent and ate and drank, and carried from it silver and gold and clothing, and went and hid them; then they came back and entered another tent, and carried some from there also, and went and hid it. 9 Then they said to one another, “We are not doing right. This day is a day of good news, and we remain silent. If we wait until morning light, some punishment will come upon us. Now therefore, come, let us go and tell the king’s household.” 2 Kings 7:3-9 “Then the servant with the one bag of silver came and said, ‘Master, I knew you were a harsh man, harvesting crops you didn’t plant and gathering crops you didn’t cultivate. 25 I was afraid I would lose your money, so I hid it in the earth. Look, here is your money back.’ 26 “But the master replied, ‘You wicked and lazy servant! If you knew I harvested crops I didn’t plant and gathered crops I didn’t cultivate, 27 why didn’t you deposit my money in the bank? At least I could have gotten some interest on it.’ Matthew 25:24-27 https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2017-07-16_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 17 Jul 2017 12:00:00 GMT 42:15 The Rope by Pastor Ryan Kramer Ryan Kramer God's Love Our guest speaker this Sunday was Pastor Ryan Kramer, preaching a message entitled The Rope, sharing about the love of God. https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2017-07-23_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 24 Jul 2017 12:00:00 GMT 41:00 Taking the Limits Off God, Lesson 10: Overcoming the Fear of Failure Part 2 Teryl Todd Psalm 78 Yes, again and again they tempted God, And limited the Holy One of Israel. Psalms 78:41 7 For God has not given you a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7 18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. 1 John 4:18 15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father” (Daddy, God). Romans 8:15 19 And my God shall supply all my need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19 9 For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich. 2 Corinthians 8:9 24 Faithful is He who calls you, and He also will bring it to pass. 1 Thess. 5:24 NAS 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, Ephesians 1:3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uy-SN5j1ogk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIQQ3_PNX34 For a righteous man may fall seven times And rise again, But the wicked shall fall by calamity.

Psalms 78:41 The fear of man brings a snare, But whoever trusts in the Lord shall be safe. Proverbs 29:25 6 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, 7 casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you. 8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. 9 Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world. 10 But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. 11 To Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen. 1 Peter 5:6-11 And Elijah the Tishbite, of the inhabitants of Gilead, said to Ahab, “As the Lord God of Israel lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, except at my word.” 1 Kings 17:1 Then the word of the Lord came to him, saying, 3 “Get away from here and turn eastward, and hide by the Brook Cherith, which flows into the Jordan. 4 And it will be that you shall drink from the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.” 5 So he went and did according to the word of the Lord, for he went and stayed by the Brook Cherith, which flows into the Jordan. 6 The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning, and bread and meat in the evening; and he drank from the brook. 1 Kings 17:2-6 7 And it happened after a while that the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land. 8 Then the word of the Lord came to him, saying, 9 “Arise, go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and dwell there. See, I have commanded a widow there to provide for you.” 1 Kings 17:8 10 So he arose and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city, indeed a widow was there gathering sticks. And he called to her and said, “Please bring me a little water in a cup, that I may drink.” 11 And as she was going to get it, he called to her and said, “Please bring me a morsel of bread in your hand.” 12 So she said, “As the Lord your God lives, I do not have bread, only a handful of flour in a bin, and a little oil in a jar; and see, I am gathering a couple of sticks that I may go in and prepare it for myself and my son, that we may eat it, and die.” 13 And Elijah said to her, “Do not fear; go and do as you have said, but make me a small cake from it first, and bring it to me; and afterward make some for yourself and your son. 14 For thus says the Lord God of Israel: ‘The bin of flour shall not be used up, nor shall the jar of oil run dry, until the day the Lord sends rain on the earth.’” 1 Kings 17:10-14 15 So she went away and did according to the word of Elijah; and she and he and her household ate for many days. 16 The bin of flour was not used up, nor did the jar of oil run dry, according to the word of the Lord which He spoke by Elijah. 1 Kings 17:15-16 https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2017-08-06_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 07 Aug 2017 12:00:00 GMT 38:39 Hurts, Habits and Hang-Ups Teryl Todd Celebrate Recovery is Coming to Evangel! 1. Celebrate Recovery is based on God’s Word – the Bible. 2. Celebrate Recovery is FORWARD-LOOKING. 3. Celebrate Recovery emphasizes PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY. 4. Celebrate Recovery BRINGS PEOPLE TO A COMMITMENT TO OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST! 5. Celebrate Recovery teaches that we NEED EACH OTHER IN ORDER TO GROW SPIRITUALLY and EMOTIONALLY. Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we do not lose heart. 2 But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness nor handling the word of God deceitfully, but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God. 2 Corinthians 4:1-2 7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us. 8 We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed— 10 always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body. 11 For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus’ sake, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. 12 So then death is working in us, but life in you. 13 And since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, “I believed and therefore I spoke,”[a] we also believe and therefore speak, 14 knowing that He who raised up the Lord Jesus will also raise us up with Jesus, and will present us with you. 15 For all things are for your sakes, that grace, having spread through the many, may cause thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God. 16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. 17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, 18 while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:7-18 https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2017-08-13_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 14 Aug 2017 12:00:00 GMT 41:29 The Holy Spirit by Guest Speaker Ronald Gray Teryl Todd The Power of the Holy Spirit!

And did not the Lord anoint you king over Israel? 1 Samuel 15:7 “…you have rejected the word of the Lord, and the Lord has rejected you from being king over Israel.”1 Samuel 15:26 14 Then Uzziah prepared for them, for the entire army, shields, spears, helmets, body armor, bows, and slings to cast stones. 15 And he made devices in Jerusalem, invented by skillful men, to be on the towers and the corners, to shoot arrows and large stones. So his fame spread far and wide, for he was marvelously helped till he became strong. 16 But when he was strong his heart was lifted up, to his destruction, for he transgressed against the Lord his God by entering the temple of the Lord to burn incense on the altar of incense. 17 So Azariah the priest went in after him, and with him were eighty priests of the Lord—valiant men. 18 And they withstood King Uzziah, and said to him, “It is not for you, Uzziah, to burn incense to the Lord, but for the priests, the sons of Aaron, who are consecrated to burn incense. Get out of the sanctuary, for you have trespassed! You shall have no honor from the Lord God.” 19 Then Uzziah became furious; and he had a censer in his hand to burn incense. And while he was angry with the priests, leprosy broke out on his forehead, before the priests in the house of the Lord, beside the incense altar. 20 And Azariah the chief priest and all the priests looked at him, and there, on his forehead, he was leprous; so they thrust him out of that place… 2 Chronicles 26:14-20 It happened in the spring of the year, at the time when kings go out to battle, that David sent Joab and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the people of Ammon and besieged Rabbah. But David remained at Jerusalem. 2 Then it happened one evening that David arose from his bed and walked on the roof of the king’s house. And from the roof he saw a woman bathing, and the woman was very beautiful to behold. 3 So David sent and inquired about the woman. And someone said, “Is this not Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?” 4 Then David sent messengers, and took her; and she came to him, and he lay with her, for she was cleansed from her impurity; and she returned to her house. 1 Samuel 11:1-4 “Ah, Lord God! Behold, I cannot speak, for I am a youth.” 7 But the Lord said to me: “Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’ For you shall go to all to whom I send you, And whatever I command you, you shall speak. 8 Do not be afraid of their faces, For I am with you to deliver you,” says the Lord. Jeremiah 1:6-8 https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2017-08-27_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 28 Aug 2017 12:00:00 GMT 38:48 The Power of the Gospel Teryl Todd Romans 1:16-17 16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. 17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.” Romans 1:16-17 “Evangelion.” 3 Then the scribes and Pharisees brought to Him a woman caught in adultery. And when they had set her in the midst, 4 they said to Him, “Teacher, this woman was caught in adultery, in the very act. 5 Now Moses, in the law, commanded us that such should be stoned. But what do You say?” 6 This they said, testing Him, that they might have something of which to accuse Him. But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with His finger, as though He did not hear. 7 So when they continued asking Him, He raised Himself up and said to them, “He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first.” 8 And again He stooped down and wrote on the ground. 9 Then those who heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning with the oldest even to the last. And Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. 10 When Jesus had raised Himself up and saw no one but the woman, He said to her, “Woman, where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?” 11 She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said to her, “Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more.” John 8:3-11 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness. Romans 1:18 19 because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. Romans 1:19 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse… Romans 1:20 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Romans 1:21 https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2017-09-03_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 04 Sep 2017 12:00:00 GMT 32:06 God is My Refuge Teryl Todd Psalms 46:1-7 God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble. 2 Therefore we will not fear, Even though the earth be removed, And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; 3 Though its waters roar and be troubled, Though the mountains shake with its swelling. 4 There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God, The holy place of the tabernacle of the Most High. 5 God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved; God shall help her, just at the break of dawn. 6 The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved; He uttered His voice, the earth melted. 7 The Lord of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge. Psalms 46:1-7 20 Now when neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no small tempest beat on us, all hope that we would be saved was finally given up. 21 But after long abstinence from food, then Paul stood in the midst of them and said, “Men, you should have listened to me, and not have sailed from Crete and incurred this disaster and loss. 22 And now I urge you to take heart, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship. 23 For there stood by me this night an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I serve, 24 saying, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul; you must be brought before Caesar; and indeed God has granted you all those who sail with you.’ 25 Therefore take heart, men, for I believe God that it will be just as it was told me. Acts 27:20-25 37 And in all we were two hundred and seventy-six persons on the ship. Acts 27:37 44 and the rest, some on boards and some on parts of the ship. And so it was that they all escaped safely to land.

Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Romans 1:21 KJV #1. The First Key Is To Simply Live A Life Of Glorifying God! #2. The Second Key Is To Be Thankful To God! But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy. 2 Timothy 3:1-2 18 in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Romans 1:21 KJV #3. Don’t Allow Your Imagination To Become Vain. 3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: 4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 KJV https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2017-09-17_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 18 Sep 2017 12:00:00 GMT 38:04 The War Between Your Ears, Lesson 2: A Darkened Heart Teryl Todd Galatians 5:22-23 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Romans 1:21 KJV 25 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you cleanse the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of extortion and self-indulgence. 26 Blind Pharisee, first cleanse the inside of the cup and dish, that the outside of them may be clean also. 27 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs, which indeed appear beautiful outwardly, but inside are full of dead men’s bones and all uncleanness. 28 Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness. Matthew 23:25-27 3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing. 1 Corinthians 13:3 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Romans 1:21 KJV 17 This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind, 18 having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart…” Ephesians 4:17-18 And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins Ephesians 2:1 “But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.” John 14:26 However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.

Romans 5:1 And let the peace (soul harmony which comes) from Christ rule (act as umpire continually) in your hearts [deciding and settling with finality all questions that arise in your minds, in that peaceful state] to which as [members of Christ’s] one body you were also called [to live]. And be thankful (appreciative), [giving praise to God always]. Colossians 3:15 AMP 20 But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things. 1 John 2:20 But we have the mind of Christ. 1 Corinthians 2:16 HOW DO YOU KEEP YOUR HEART SENSITIVE TO THE LORD: 1.

Walk In The God Kind of Love. 4 Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud 5 or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. 6 It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. 7 Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 NLT https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2017-10-01_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 02 Oct 2017 12:00:00 GMT 45:26 The War Between Your Ears, Lesson 4: The Cave of Despair Teryl Todd 1 Kings 19:1 And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, also how he had executed all the prophets with the sword. 1 Kings 19:1 Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, “So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I do not make your life as the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time.” 3 And when he saw that, he arose and ran for his life, and went to Beersheba, which belongs to Judah, and left his servant there. 4 But he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a broom tree. And he prayed that he might die, and said, “It is enough! Now, Lord, take my life, for I am no better than my fathers!” 1 Kings 19:2-4 Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, “So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I do not make your life as the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time.” 3 And when he saw that, he arose and ran for his life, and went to Beersheba, which belongs to Judah, and left his servant there. 1 Kings 19:2-3 But he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a broom tree. And he prayed that he might die, and said, “It is enough! Now, Lord, take my life, for I am no better than my fathers!” 1 Kings 19:4 But he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a broom tree. And he prayed that he might die, and said, “It is enough! Now, Lord, take my life, for I am no better than my fathers!” 1 Kings 19:4 Then as he lay and slept under a broom tree, suddenly an angel touched him, and said to him, “Arise and eat.” 6 Then he looked, and there by his head was a cake baked on coals, and a jar of water. So he ate and drank, and lay down again. 7 And the angel of the Lord came back the second time, and touched him, and said, “Arise and eat, because the journey is too great for you.” 1 Kings 19:5-7 So he arose, and ate and drank; and he went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights as far as Horeb, the mountain of God. 1 Kings 19:8 And there he went into a cave, and spent the night in that place; and behold, the word of the Lord came to him, and He said to him, “What are you doing here, Elijah?” 10 So he said, “I have been very zealous for the Lord God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken Your covenant, torn down Your altars, and killed Your prophets with the sword. I alone am left; and they seek to take my life.” 1 Kings 19:9-10 Yet I have reserved seven thousand in Israel, all whose knees have not bowed to Baal, and every mouth that has not kissed him.” 1 Kings 19:18 11 Then He said, “Go out, and stand on the mountain before the Lord.” And behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake; 12 and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice. 1 Kings 19:11-12 https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2017-10-08_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 09 Oct 2017 12:00:00 GMT 42:17 The War Between Your Ears, Lesson 5: The Cave of Regret Teryl Todd 1 Kings 19 And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, also how he had executed all the prophets with the sword. 2 Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, “So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I do not make your life as the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time.” 3 And when he saw that, he arose and ran for his life, and went to Beersheba, which belongs to Judah, and left his servant there. 1 Kings 19:1-3 4 But he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a broom (juniper) tree. And he prayed that he might die, and said, “It is enough! Now, Lord, take my life, for I am no better than my fathers!” 1 Kings 19:4 And there he went into a cave, and spent the night in that place; and behold, the word of the Lord came to him, and He said to him, “What are you doing here, Elijah?” 1 Kings 19:9 Regret is rooted in making poor decisions and missing out on great opportunities. Remorse is a deep regret or guilt for a wrong committed, that often results in self-resentment and self-hatred. Repentance means to turn away from your sin and past, and turn to God’s grace and forgiveness. Five Cause of Regret: 1. Past Mistakes When Judas, who had betrayed him, realized that Jesus had been condemned to die, he was filled with remorse. So he took the thirty pieces of silver back to the leading priests and the elders. 4 “I have sinned,” he declared, “for I have betrayed an innocent man.” “What do we care?” they retorted. “That’s your problem.” 5 Then Judas threw the silver coins down in the Temple and went out and hanged himself. Matthew 27:3-5 “For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world produces death.” 2 Corinthians 7:10 2. Disappointments and Unmet Expectations. 3. Puzzling Circumstances. 4. Difficult or Failed Relationships. 5. Unfulfilled Hopes, Promises and Dreams. https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2017-10-15_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 16 Oct 2017 12:00:00 GMT 31:31 Pastor Appreciation Sunday with Guest Speaker: Pastor Tommy Moore Teryl Todd 1 Kings 19 A Sower Went Forth To Sow - a special message for Pastor Appreciation Sunday https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2017-10-22_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 23 Oct 2017 12:00:00 GMT 49:44 The War Between Your Ears, Lesson 6: Big God Small Devil Teryl Todd Colossians 2:15 “Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.” Colossians 2:15 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need. Hebrews 4:16 Therefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, 16 do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers: 17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, 18 the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, 19 and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power 20 which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, 21 far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come. 22 And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, 23 which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all. Ephesians 1:15-23 5 that even though we were dead because of our sins, he gave us life when he raised Christ from the dead. (It is only by God’s grace that you have been saved!) 6 For he raised us from the dead along with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ Jesus. Ephesians 2:5-6 NLT 13 For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, 14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. Colossians 1:13-14 NIV Three Responsibilities: #1. Don’t Give The Devil A Foothold In Your Life. “Nor give place to the devil.” Ephesians 4:27 …casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you. Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. 9 Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world. 1 Peter 5:7-9 #2. Stay Submitted and Yielded To God. Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. 8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. James 4:7-8 #3. Never Forget, You Have Authority Over The Devil! He Is Under Your Feet! And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons. Mark 16:17 And the God of peace will crush Satan under your feet shortly. Romans 16:20 Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Luke 10:19 https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2017-10-29_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 30 Oct 2017 12:00:00 GMT 48:50 The War Between Your Ears, Lesson 7: The Way the Devil Attacks Teryl Todd 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 Lesson #7: “The Way The Devil Attacks” 3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. 4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, 5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 #1. Atheists say: “There is no God." #2. Agnostics believe there is a God, but it is impossible to know Him or have a relationship with Him. #3. Assassinating the Character of God. #4. Lustful thoughts #5. Greed and Covetousness #6. Fear, Worry and Anxiety #7. Self-hatred and Believing Lies about Who You Are. Comparing yourself with others. #8. Believing That Everyone is against you. #9. Unforgiveness and Taking up another person’s offense. #10. A Poverty Mentality I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. Romans 12:1-2 6 …Letting your sinful nature control your mind leads to death. But letting the Spirit control your mind leads to life and peace. 7 For the sinful nature is always hostile to God. It never did obey God’s laws, and it never will. Romans 8:6-7 NLT “And do not give the devil a foothold.” Ephesians 4:27 “5 Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, (lustful) passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. 6 Because of these things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience, 7 in which you yourselves once walked when you lived in them. 8 But now you yourselves are to put off all these: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language out of your mouth. 9 Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds, 10 and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him.” Colossians 3:5-10 Here Are The Facts: The Devil Is Defeated, Jesus Is Exalted. The Cross Is Sufficient. We must believe it and walk in the light of it. It is that simple! https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2017-11-05_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 06 Nov 2017 12:00:00 GMT 48:25 The War Between Your Ears, Lesson 8: Victory Over Strongholds Teryl Todd 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. 4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, 5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 "A stronghold is a system of thought, empowered by your emotions, that is contrary to the Word of God. A stronghold is a thought that holds you strongly." False Evidence Appearing Real Five Principles: #1. Your Tongue (Your Mouth) Can Bring About Victory, Or The Enemy Can Use It To Put You Into Captivity And Bondage. You are snared by the words of your mouth; You are taken by the words of your mouth. Proverbs 6:2 I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live; Deuteronomy 30:19 #2. You Have To Realize That Your Words Carry Power In The Realm Of The Unseen. Your Words Carry Power In The Realm Of The Spirit. But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. Matthew 12:36 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit. Proverbs 18:21 #3. What Comes Out Of Your Mouth Not Only Affects Everyone Around You, But It Actually Affects You! It Stops You From Moving Forward In The Things Of God. Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer. Psalms 19:14 #4. Your Words Can Either Quiet A Thing Down, Or Stir A Thing Up. A soft answer turns away wrath, But a harsh word stirs up anger. Proverbs 15:1 #5. The Best Way I Know To Deal With A Stronghold Is To Meditate On the Word of God and Get God’s Word In Your Heart, and Then Speak It Aloud. https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2017-11-12_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 13 Nov 2017 12:00:00 GMT 31:27 The War Between Your Ears, Lesson 9: The Power of Thanksgiving and Praise Teryl Todd Luke 17:11-19 #1. Thanksgiving and Praise Will Destroy A Spirit of Heaviness. #2. You Cannot Thank and Praise God, and Complain At The Same Time. 8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. 9 Resist him, steadfast in the faith 1 Peter 5:8-9 9 For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him. 2 Chronicles 16:9 #3. You Should Thank and Praise God for Delivering You Out Of Situations That Only He Could Save Your From. Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever. 2 Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, Whom He has redeemed from the hand of the enemy, Psalms 107:1-2 11 Now it happened as He went to Jerusalem that He passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. 12 Then as He entered a certain village, there met Him ten men who were lepers, who stood afar off. 13 And they lifted up their voices and said, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!” 14 So when He saw them, He said to them, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And so it was that as they went, they were cleansed. 15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, returned, and with a loud voice glorified God, 16 and fell down on his face at His feet, giving Him thanks. And he was a Samaritan. 17 So Jesus answered and said, “Were there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine? 18 Were there not any found who returned to give glory to God except this foreigner?” 19 And He said to him, “Arise, go your way. Your faith has made you well.” Luke 17:11-19 #4. The Enemy Might Try To Stop Your Thanksgiving and Praise, But Who Cares What The Devil Does! 37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. 38 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, 39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:38-39 #5. When You Realize The Authority God Has Placed In Your Hands To Fight and Defeat The Devil, You Will Want To Thank and Praise The Lord Day and Night! Let God arise, Let His enemies be scattered. Psalms 68:1 I will praise You, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will tell of all Your marvelous works. Psalms 9:1 Bless the Lord, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name! 2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits: 3 Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, 4 Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies, 5 Who satisfies your mouth with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

When You Give To God, You are Moving In the Opposite Direction Of The Devil. 5 This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies says: Look at what’s happening to you! 6 You have planted much but harvest little. You eat but are not satisfied. You drink but are still thirsty. You put on clothes but cannot keep warm. Your wages disappear as though you were putting them in pockets filled with holes! Haggai 1:5-6 NLT 23 “What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you are careful to tithe even the tiniest income from your herb gardens, but you ignore the more important aspects of the law—justice, mercy, and faith. You should tithe, yes, but do not neglect the more important things. Matthew 23:23 NLT #2. Giving and Receiving Is A Battle, Because The Devil Doesn’t Want You To Have Anything – Especially Not Money. “And you shall remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth… Deuteronomy 8:18 38 Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.” Luke 6:38 #3. The Bible Says That Our Prayers Are Answered Because Of Our Giving! Cornelius answered: “Three days ago I was in my house praying at this hour, at three in the afternoon. Suddenly a man in shining clothes stood before me 31 and said, ‘Cornelius, God has heard your prayer and remembered your gifts to the poor. Acts 10:30-31 NIV Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, That there may be food in My house, And try Me now in this,” Says the Lord of hosts, “If I will not open for you the windows of heaven And pour out for you such blessing That there will not be room enough to receive it. 11 “And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, So that he will not destroy the fruit of your ground, Nor shall the vine fail to bear fruit for you in the field,” Says the Lord of hosts; Malachi 3:10-11 #4. Solomon, The Wisest, Richest Man In The World At The Time He Was King, Learned The Secret Of Giving. Give freely and become more wealthy; be stingy and lose everything. 25 The generous will prosper; those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed. Proverbs 11:24-25 NLT Cast your bread upon the waters, For you will find it after many days. Ecclesiastes 11:1 NKJV Ship your grain across the sea; after many days you may receive a return. Ecclesiastes 11:1 NIV #5. To Prosper, You Not Only Must Be A Giver, You Must Also Be A Good Steward. Go to the ant, you sluggard! Consider her ways and be wise, 7 Which, having no captain, Overseer or ruler, 8 Provides her supplies in the summer, And gathers her food in the harvest. Proverbs 6:6-8 https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2017-12-03_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 04 Dec 2017 12:00:00 GMT 29:48 The War Between Your Ears, Lesson 11: Temptation at Christmastime Teryl Todd James 1:12-15 12 Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life, which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. 13 Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone. 14 But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. 15 Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death. James 1:12-15 13 No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it. 1 Corinthians 10:13 #1. Always Remember: Jesus Was Tempted By The Devil Just Like You Are! Yet He Successfully Overcame Every Temptation! 15 For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. Hebrews 4:15 #2. Learn To Stand On The Word Of God and Speak It Aloud In The Face Of Temptation. 3 And the devil said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread.” 4 But Jesus answered him, saying, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.’” 5 Then the devil, taking Him up on a high mountain, showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. 6 And the devil said to Him, “All this authority I will give You, and their glory; for this has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I wish. 7 Therefore, if You will worship before me, all will be Yours.” 8 And Jesus answered and said to him, “Get behind Me, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.’ ” 9 Then he brought Him to Jerusalem, set Him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down from here. 10 For it is written: ‘He shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you,’ 11 and, ‘In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone.’ 12 And Jesus answered and said to him, “It has been said, ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God.’” Luke 4:3-12 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; Ephesians 6:17 12 For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, It penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Hebrews 4:12 9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. I John 1:9 #3. Pray Like Jesus Taught Us: “And do not lead us into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one.” Matthew 16:1 #4. God Promises A Way Of Escape For Every Temptation You Face. 13 No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it. 1 Corinthians 10:13 https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2017-12-17_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 18 Dec 2017 12:00:00 GMT 40:44 Guest Speaker Dustin Wells Teryl Todd Praise the Lord!

Ephesians 1:11 12 that we who first trusted in Christ should be to the praise of His glory. 13 In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, 14 who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory. Ephesians 1:12-14 30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. 31 Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking (slander) be put away from you, with all malice (evil behavior). 32 And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you. Ephesians 4:30-32 19 Do not quench the Spirit. 20 Do not despise prophecies. 21 Test all things; hold fast what is good. 22 Abstain from every form of evil. 1 Thessalonians 5:19-21 32 Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come. Matthew 12:32 15 Therefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, 16 do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers: 17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, Ephesians 1:15-17 “… you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, 14 who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory. Ephesians 1:13-14 https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2018-01-07_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 08 Jan 2018 12:00:00 GMT 39:22 Prayer Secrets - Lesson 1: Hypocrites and Prayer Teryl Todd Ephesians 1:11 “And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray… Matthew 6:5 5 “And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. Matthew 6:5 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. 2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing. 1 Corinthians 13:1-3 #1. To Pray Effectively, Get Your Own Heart Right With God, and Your Prayers Motivated By Love. Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me, and know my thoughts; 24 And see if there is any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting. Psalms 139:23-24 #2. To Pray Effectively, Make Sure You Are Praying In Light Of The Finished Work Of Christ On-The-Cross. 30 …“Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”31 So they said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.” Acts 16:30-31 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:9 13 For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Romans 10:13 16 The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, 17 and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, Romans 8:16-17 #3. Prayer Isn’t Trying To Twist God’s Arm, To Make Him Do Something, He Doesn’t Want To Do. Prayer Is Communion (Fellowship) With God. Prayer is Receiving By Faith What God Has Already Done For Us In Christ! 6 But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. Matthew 6:6 7 And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words. 8 “Therefore do not be like them. For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him. Matthew 6:7 https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2018-01-14_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 15 Jan 2018 12:00:00 GMT 32:04 Encounter Week Kickoff with Steve Sampson Teryl Todd Ephesians 1:11 Enjoy the moving of the Holy Spirit through our guest speaker Steve Sampson! https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2018-01-21_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 22 Jan 2018 12:00:00 GMT 34:07 Prayer Secrets - Lesson 2: Seeking The Spectacular But Missing The Supernatural Teryl Todd Matthew 6:5 5 “And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. Matthew 6:5 6 But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. 7 And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words. 8 “Therefore do not be like them. For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him. Matthew 6:6-8 https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2018-01-28_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 29 Jan 2018 12:00:00 GMT 47:54 Prayer Secrets - Lesson 3: The Disciples' Prayer Teryl Todd Matthew 6:5 9 In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Matthew 6:9 6 But now Jesus, our High Priest, has been given a ministry that is far superior to the old priesthood, for he is the one who mediates for us a far better covenant with God, based on better promises. Hebrews 8:6 NLT The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, And He delights in his way. 24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; For the Lord upholds him with His hand. Psalms 37:23-24 16 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need. Hebrews 4:16 10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 1 John 4:10 21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. 2 Corinthians 5:21 “You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.” 2 Timothy 2:1 10 Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven. Matthew 6:10 11 Give us this day our daily bread. Matthew 6:11 12 And forgive us our debts, As we forgive our debtors. Matthew 6:12 13 And do not lead us into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one. Matthew 6:13 And don’t let us yield to temptation, but rescue us from the evil one. Matthew 6:13 NLT For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Matthew 6:9-13 https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2018-02-04_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 05 Feb 2018 12:00:00 GMT 51:22 Prayer Secrets - Lesson 4: Seven Ways To Pray For The Lost Teryl Todd Luke 15 #1. Recognize That God Loves Lost People (Luke 15). However Lost People Are Blinded By Demonic Deception. Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. They don’t understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God. 2 Corinthians 4:4 NLT The Lord is not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:9 #2. Remember Your Goal Is To See Lost People, Born-Again Of The Imperishable Seed Of God’s Word. For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God. 1 Peter 1:23 #3. Offer Yourself As A Laborer To God. Pray, “Lord, You can use me to bring others to Christ!” …“The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. 38 Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest. Matthew 9:37-38 #4. Pray For The Conviction Of The Holy Spirit Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you. 8 And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 9 of sin, because they do not believe in Me; John 16:7-8 #5. Ask God To Forgive You Of Any Resentment In Your Heart Toward The Person. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.” John 20:23 #6. When Praying For A Lost Spouse or Child, Believe God To Help You Have A “Holy” Influence On Them. For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband; otherwise your children would be unclean, but now they are holy. 1 Corinthians 7:14 #7. As You Pray For The Lost, Fully Consecrate Your Own Life To God! 11 Then she made a vow and said, “O Lord of hosts, if You will indeed look on the affliction of Your maidservant and remember me, and not forget Your maidservant, but will give Your maidservant a male child, then I will give him to the Lord all the days of his life, and no razor shall come upon his head.” 1 Samuel 1:1-11 18 But Samuel ministered before the Lord, even as a child, wearing a linen ephod. 1 Samuel 2:18 https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2018-02-11_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 12 Feb 2018 12:00:00 GMT 51:26 Prayer Secrets - Lesson 5: The Sweetest Name Teryl Todd The Power of Prayer! #1. Jesus Taught That Believers Are To Pray In His Name! And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. John 14:13 “… Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you. John 16:23 “… Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you. 24 Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full...26 In that day you will ask in My name, and I do not say to you that I shall pray the Father for you; 27 for the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me, and have believed that I came forth from God. John 16:23-24, 26-27 #2. There Is Only One Way To God, and That Is Through His Son, Jesus Christ! but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name. John 20:31 Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” Acts 4:12 #3. The Name Of Jesus Carries Power And Authority In Three Worlds. 15 And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. 17 And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; Mark 16:15-17 #4. The Name Of Jesus Belongs To Every Believer. https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2018-02-18_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 19 Feb 2018 12:00:00 GMT 29:23 Listen to God and Obey, Give, Pray, and Go by Andy Raatz Teryl Todd The Power of Prayer!

In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. Proverbs 3:6 You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You. Isaiah 26:3 NKJV 25“Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? 26Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 27Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? Matthew 6:25-27 28“So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; 29and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these… 33But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Matthew 6:28-33 You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You. Isaiah 26:3 NKJV “For the Lord is good and the Lord does good!” Psalms 119:68 24 “Then he who had received the one talent came and said, ‘Lord, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you have not sown, and gathering where you have not scattered seed. 25 And I was afraid, and went and hid your talent in the ground. Look, there you have what is yours.’ 26 “But his lord answered and said to him, ‘You wicked and lazy servant, you knew that I reap where I have not sown, and gather where I have not scattered seed.27 So you ought to have deposited my money with the bankers, and at my coming I would have received back my own with interest. 28 Therefore take the talent from him, and give it to him who has ten talents. 29 ‘For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away. Matthew 25:24-29 35 Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death? 36 (As the Scriptures say, “For your sake we are killed every day; we are being slaughtered like sheep.”) 37 No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us. Romans 8:35-37 https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2018-03-11_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 12 Mar 2018 12:00:00 GMT 49:16 Prayer Secrets - Lesson 9: The Prayer of Forgiveness Teryl Todd The Power of Prayer! 22 So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God. 23 For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. 24 Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them. Mark 11:22-24 25 “And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses. 26 But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your trespasses.” Mark 11:22-26 “FORGIVENESS IS SURRENDERING MY RIGHT TO HURT YOU FOR HURTING ME!” – Archibald Hart And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you. Ephesians 4:32 Five People Who Need Forgiveness: 1. The First Person You Need To Forgive Is You - - Yourself. When Judas, who had betrayed him, saw that Jesus was condemned, he was seized with remorse and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders. Matthew 27:3 NIV So Judas threw the money into the temple and left. Then he went away and hanged himself. Matthew 27:5 NIV Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. 1 Peter 4:8 NIV 2. Many People Carry Resentment In Their Heart Toward God. 3. You Need To Forgive Family Members. 4. There Has To Be Forgiveness For Anybody Else Who Has Done Anything Against You. 5. We All Need Forgiveness From God. https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2018-03-25_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 26 Mar 2018 12:00:00 GMT 40:44 Resurrection Victory! Teryl Todd The Power of Prayer! “But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that He, by the grace of God, might taste death for everyone.” Hebrews 2:9 “…that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.” Hebrews 2:14-15 Who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? 2 For He shall grow up before Him as a tender plant, And as a root out of dry ground. He has no form or comeliness; And when we see Him, There is no beauty that we should desire Him. 3 He is despised and rejected by men, A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him;He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. Isaiah 53:1-3 4 Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. Isaiah 53:4 I gave My back to those who struck Me, And My cheeks to those who plucked out the beard; I did not hide My face from shame and spitting. Isaiah 50:6 4 Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. 5 But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon And by His stripes we are healed. 6 All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way; And the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all. Isaiah 53:4-6 https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2018-04-01_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 02 Apr 2018 12:00:00 GMT 31:50 The Uncomfortable Reality of Hell Teryl Todd Is Hell Real? Today we start with some quotes that claim hell is not real. “There is no hell: The souls of sinners simply vanish after death and are not subject to an eternity of punishment.” - Pope Francis, March 30, 2018 (A quote later shown to be a false quote.) “Hell is a metaphor for the horrors of life on earth - poverty, genocide and injustice.” - Rob Bell “God has shown me that there is no hell. Because of God’s grace everyone will be saved - - regardless of how you live, everyone will go to heaven.” - Carlton Pearson 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast. Ephesians 2:8-9 13 “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. 14 Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it. Matthew 7:13-14 41 The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness, 42 and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Matthew 13:41-42 43 If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life maimed than with two hands to go into hell, where the fire never goes out... 45 And if your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life crippled than to have two feet and be thrown into hell. 47 And if your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell, 48 where “‘the worms that eat them do not die, and the fire is not quenched.’ Mark 9:43-48 NIV 36 He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.” John 3:36 8 He will punish those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. 9 They will be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might. 2 Thessalonians 1:8-9 NIV 11 And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.” Revelation 14:11 Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, having the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. Revelation 20:1 19“There was a certain rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and fared sumptuously every day. 20But there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, full of sores, who was laid at his gate, 21desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table. Moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. 22So it was that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died and was buried. 23And being in torments in Hades, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 24“Then he cried and said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.’ Luke 16:19-24 25But Abraham said, ‘Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things; but now he is comforted and you are tormented. 26And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, so that those who want to pass from here to you cannot, nor can those from there pass to us.’ 27“Then he said, ‘I beg you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father’s house, 28for I have five brothers, that he may testify to them, lest they also come to this place of torment.’ Luke 16:25-28 29Abraham said to him, ‘They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.’ 30And he said, ‘No, father Abraham; but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.’ 31But he said to him, ‘If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one rise from the dead.’” Luke 16:29-31 https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2018-04-08_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 09 Apr 2018 12:00:00 GMT 44:15 Fasting Doesn’t Impress God Teryl Todd Jesus said WHEN you fast Six Reasons I Fast and Pray: #1. Jesus Expected His Followers To Engage In Regular Times of Fasting and Prayer. 16 “Moreover, when you fast, do not be like the hypocrites, with a sad countenance. For they disfigure their faces that they may appear to men to be fasting. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. 17 But you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, 18 so that you do not appear to men to be fasting, but to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. Matthew 6:16-18 #2. To Receive An Open Reward. 17 But you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, 18 so that you do not appear to men to be fasting, but to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. Matthew 6:17-18 #3. To Humble My Flesh. “I humble myself by fasting…” Psalms 69:10 GNT “God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble.” 7 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. James 4:6-7 #4. Fasting Changes Me! #5. To Deal With Carnal Appetites and Emotions. 27 But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified. 1 Corinthians 9:27 #6. To Address Unbelief. 14 And when they had come to the multitude, a man came to Him, kneeling down to Him and saying, 15 “Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is an epileptic[c] and suffers severely; for he often falls into the fire and often into the water. 16 So I brought him to Your disciples, but they could not cure him.” 17 Then Jesus answered and said, “O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him here to Me.” 18 And Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of him; and the child was cured from that very hour. 19 Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, “Why could we not cast it out?” 20 So Jesus said to them, “Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you. 21 However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.” Matthew 17:14-21 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, Ephesians 2:8-9 https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2018-04-15_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 16 Apr 2018 12:00:00 GMT 42:34 Expect a Miracle Teryl Todd Mark 5:25-34 Mark 5:25-34 21 Now when Jesus had crossed over again by boat to the other side, a great multitude gathered to Him; and He was by the sea. 22 And behold, one of the rulers of the synagogue came, Jairus by name. And when he saw Him, he fell at His feet 23 and begged Him earnestly, saying, “My little daughter lies at the point of death. Come and lay Your hands on her, that she may be healed, and she will live.” 24 So Jesus went with him, and a great multitude followed Him and thronged Him. 25 Now a certain woman had a flow of blood for twelve years, 26 and had suffered many things from many physicians. She had spent all that she had and was no better, but rather grew worse. 27 When she heard about Jesus, she came behind Him in the crowd and touched His garment. 28 For she said, “If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well.” 29 Immediately the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of the affliction. 30 And Jesus, immediately knowing in Himself that power had gone out of Him, turned around in the crowd and said, “Who touched My clothes?” 31 But His disciples said to Him, “You see the multitude thronging You, and You say, ‘Who touched Me?’” 32 And He looked around to see her who had done this thing. 33 But the woman, fearing and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down before Him and told Him the whole truth. 34 And He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be healed of your affliction.” Mark 5:21-34 https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2018-04-22_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 23 Apr 2018 12:00:00 GMT 46:27 The Other Side Of The Storm Teryl Todd Luke 8:22-39 Four Takeaways: 1. There Is Always Another Side To Every Storm In Your Life. 2. You Aren’t Going To Die In The Middle Of The Storm. Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13 3. The Storm Didn’t Bother Jesus. But His Disciples Lack Of Faith and Trust Bothered Him. 4. Just As Jesus Calmed the Winds and Waves, He Can Calm Whatever You May Be Facing! Luke 8:22-39.....22 Now it happened, on a certain day, that He got into a boat with His disciples. And He said to them, “Let us cross over to the other side of the lake.” And they launched out. 23 But as they sailed He fell asleep. And a windstorm came down on the lake, and they were filling with water, and were in jeopardy. 24 And they came to Him and awoke Him, saying, “Master, Master, we are perishing!” Then He arose and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water. And they ceased, and there was a calm. 25 But He said to them, “Where is your faith?” And they were afraid, and marveled, saying to one another, “Who can this be? For He commands even the winds and water, and they obey Him!” 26 Then they sailed to the country of the Gadarenes,[c] which is opposite Galilee. 27 And when He stepped out on the land, there met Him a certain man from the city who had demons for a long time. And he wore no clothes, nor did he live in a house but in the tombs. 28 When he saw Jesus, he cried out, fell down before Him, and with a loud voice said, “What have I to do with You, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg You, do not torment me!” 29 For He had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For it had often seized him, and he was kept under guard, bound with chains and shackles; and he broke the bonds and was driven by the demon into the wilderness. 30 Jesus asked him, saying, “What is your name?” And he said, “Legion,” because many demons had entered him. 31 And they begged Him that He would not command them to go out into the abyss.32 Now a herd of many swine was feeding there on the mountain. So they begged Him that He would permit them to enter them. And He permitted them. 33 Then the demons went out of the man and entered the swine, and the herd ran violently down the steep place into the lake and drowned. 34 When those who fed them saw what had happened, they fled and told it in the city and in the country. 35 Then they went out to see what had happened, and came to Jesus, and found the man from whom the demons had departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind. And they were afraid. 36 They also who had seen it told them by what means he who had been demon-possessed was healed. 37 Then the whole multitude of the surrounding region of the Gadarenes asked Him to depart from them, for they were seized with great fear. And He got into the boat and returned. 38 Now the man from whom the demons had departed begged Him that he might be with Him. But Jesus sent him away, saying, 39 “Return to your own house, and tell what great things God has done for you.” And he went his way and proclaimed throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him. https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2018-04-29_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 30 Apr 2018 12:00:00 GMT 47:28 The Miracle In Your House Teryl Todd 2 Kings 4:1-7 Certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, saying, “Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that your servant feared the Lord. And the creditor is coming to take my two sons to be his slaves.” 2So Elisha said to her, “What shall I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?” And she said, “Your maidservant has nothing in the house but a jar of oil.” 3Then he said, “Go, borrow vessels from everywhere, from all your neighbors—empty vessels; do not gather just a few. 2 Kings 4:1-3 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “Send men to spy out the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the children of Israel; from each tribe of their fathers you shall send a man, every one a leader among them.” Numbers 13:1-2 27 Then they told him, and said: “We went to the land where you sent us. It truly flows with milk and honey, and this is its fruit. 28 Nevertheless the people who dwell in the land are strong; the cities are fortified and very large; moreover we saw the descendants of Anak there. 29 The Amalekites dwell in the land of the South; the Hittites, the Jebusites, and the Amorites dwell in the mountains; and the Canaanites dwell by the sea and along the banks of the Jordan.” 30 Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, “Let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome it.” 31 But the men who had gone up with him said, “We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we.” 32 And they gave the children of Israel a bad report of the land which they had spied out, saying, “The land through which we have gone as spies is a land that devours its inhabitants, and all the people whom we saw in it are men of great stature. 33 There we saw the giants (the descendants of Anak came from the giants); and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight.” Numbers 13:27-33 8 “The Lord will command the blessing on you in your storehouses and in all to which you set your hand, and He will bless you in the land which the Lord your God is giving you. Deuteronomy 28:8 4And when you have come in, you shall shut the door behind you and your sons; then pour it into all those vessels, and set aside the full ones.” 5So she went from him and shut the door behind her and her sons, who brought the vessels to her; and she poured it out. 6Now it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said to her son, “Bring me another vessel.” And he said to her, “There is not another vessel.” So the oil ceased. 7Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, “Go, sell the oil and pay your debt; and you and your sons live on the rest.” 2 Kings 4:4-7 https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2018-05-06_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 07 May 2018 12:00:00 GMT 42:42 Mother's Day Message by Terri Hill - Fearless - Living Life With Purpose Teryl Todd Isaiah 55:8-9 https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2018-05-13_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 14 May 2018 12:00:00 GMT 50:27 Pentecost Sunday! The Importance of the Holy Spirit Teryl Todd Acts 19 While Apollos was at Corinth, Paul took the road through the interior and arrived at Ephesus. There he found some disciples 2 and asked them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” They answered, “No, we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.” 3 So Paul asked, “Then what baptism did you receive?” “John’s baptism,” they replied.4 Paul said, “John’s baptism was a baptism of repentance. He told the people to believe in the one coming after him, that is, in Jesus.” 5 On hearing this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 6 When Paul placed his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke in tongues and prophesied. 7 There were about twelve men in all. Acts 19:1-7 8 And he went into the synagogue and spoke boldly for three months, reasoning and persuading concerning the things of the kingdom of God. 9 But when some were hardened and did not believe, but spoke evil of the Way before the multitude, he departed from them and withdrew the disciples, reasoning daily in the school of Tyrannus. 10 And this continued for two years, so that all who dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks.11 Now God worked unusual miracles by the hands of Paul, 12 so that even handkerchiefs or aprons were brought from his body to the sick, and the diseases left them and the evil spirits went out of them. Acts 19:8-12 https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2018-05-20_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 21 May 2018 12:00:00 GMT 46:44 How To Experience Miraculous Provision Teryl Todd 1 Kings 17 And Elijah the Tishbite, of the inhabitants of Gilead, said to Ahab, “As the Lord God of Israel lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, except at my word.” 1 Kings 17:1 13 ‘And it shall be that if you earnestly obey My commandments which I command you today, to love the Lord your God and serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul, 14 then I will give you the rain for your land in its season, the early rain and the latter rain, that you may gather in your grain, your new wine, and your oil. 15 And I will send grass in your fields for your livestock, that you may eat and be filled.’ 16 Take heed to yourselves, lest your heart be deceived, and you turn aside and serve other gods and worship them, 17 lest the Lord’s anger be aroused against you, and He shut up the heavens so that there be no rain, and the land yield no produce, and you perish quickly from the good land which the Lord is giving you. Deuteronomy 11:13-17 2 Then the word of the Lord came to him, saying, 3 “Get away from here and turn eastward, and hide by the Brook Cherith, which flows into the Jordan. 4 And it will be that you shall drink from the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.” 5 So he went and did according to the word of the Lord, for he went and stayed by the Brook Cherith, which flows into the Jordan. 6 The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning, and bread and meat in the evening; and he drank from the brook. 7 And it happened after a while that the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land. 1 Kings 17:2-7 8 Then the word of the Lord came to him, saying, 9 “Arise, go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and dwell there. See, I have commanded a widow there to provide for you.” 1 Kings 17:8-9 Cast your burden on the Lord, And He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved. (“shaken” NIV) Psalms 55:22 10 So he arose and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city, indeed a widow was there gathering sticks. And he called to her and said, “Please bring me a little water in a cup, that I may drink.” 11 And as she was going to get it, he called to her and said, “Please bring me a morsel of bread in your hand.” 12 So she said, “As the Lord your God lives, I do not have bread, only a handful of flour in a bin, and a little oil in a [a]jar; and see, I am gathering a couple of sticks that I may go in and prepare it for myself and my son, that we may eat it, and die.” 13 And Elijah said to her, “Do not fear; go and do as you have said, but make me a small cake from it first, and bring it to me; and afterward make some for yourself and your son. 14 For thus says the Lord God of Israel: ‘The bin of flour shall not be used up, nor shall the jar of oil run dry, until the day the Lord sends rain on the earth.’ ” 15 So she went away and did according to the word of Elijah; and she and he and her household ate for many days. 16 The bin of flour was not used up, nor did the jar of oil run dry, according to the word of the Lord which He spoke by Elijah. 1 Kings 17:10-16 https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2018-05-27_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 28 May 2018 12:00:00 GMT 56:57 Guest Speakers Kim and Laurel Harvey Teryl Todd Convoy of Hope We are thrilled to host Kim and Laurel Harvey again!

Matthew 8:1 25 And behold, a certain lawyer stood up and tested Him, saying, “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” 26 He said to him, “What is written in the law? What is your reading of it?” 27 So he answered and said, “ ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind,’ and ‘your neighbor as yourself.’ ” 28 And He said to him, “You have answered rightly; do this and you will live.” 29 But he, wanting to justify himself, said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” 30 Then Jesus answered and said: “A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, who stripped him of his clothing, wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. 31 Now by chance a certain priest came down that road. And when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. Luke 10:25-31` 44 “Then they also will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’ 45 Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’ Matthew 25:44-45 32 Likewise a Levite, when he arrived at the place, came and looked, and passed by on the other side. 33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was. And when he saw him, he had compassion. 34 So he went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine; and he set him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him. 35 On the next day, when he departed, he took out two denarii, gave them to the innkeeper, and said to him, ‘Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, when I come again, I will repay you.’ 36 So which of these three do you think was neighbor to him who fell among the thieves?” 37 And he said, “He who showed mercy on him.” Then Jesus said to him, “Go and do likewise.” Luke 10:32-37 https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2018-06-10_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 11 Jun 2018 12:00:00 GMT 52:56 The Kind of Father Every Child Deserves - Father's Day 2018 Teryl Todd Matthew 8:1 A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches, Loving favor rather than silver and gold. 2 The rich and the poor have this in common, The Lord is the maker of them all. 3 A prudent man foresees evil and hides himself, But the simple pass on and are punished. 4 By humility and the fear of the Lord Are riches and honor and life. 5 Thorns and snares are in the way of the perverse; He who guards his soul will be far from them. 6 Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it.

Make me like one of your hired servants.” ’ 20 “And he arose and came to his father. But when he was still a great way off, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him.21 And the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight, and am no longer worthy to be called your son.’ 22 “But the father said to his servants, ‘Bring out the best robe and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet. 23 And bring the fatted calf here and kill it, and let us eat and be merry; 24 for this my son was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ And they began to be merry. Luke 15:1-24 25 “Now his older son was in the field. And as he came and drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing. 26 So he called one of the servants and asked what these things meant. 27 And he said to him, ‘Your brother has come, and because he has received him safe and sound, your father has killed the fatted calf.’ 28 “But he was angry and would not go in. Therefore his father came out and pleaded with him. 29 So he answered and said to his father, ‘Lo, these many years I have been serving you; I never transgressed your commandment at any time; and yet you never gave me a young goat, that I might make merry with my friends.30 But as soon as this son of yours came, who has devoured your livelihood with harlots, you killed the fatted calf for him.’ 31 “And he said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that I have is yours. 32 It was right that we should make merry and be glad, for your brother was dead and is alive again, and was lost and is found.’ ” Luke 15:25-32 https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2018-06-24_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 25 Jun 2018 12:00:00 GMT 45:36 The Good Fight of Faith - Lesson 3 Teryl Todd 2 Timothy 4:7-8 7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 8 Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing. 2 Timothy 4:7-8 Six Things Paul Had To Fight Through: #1.

Also I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion. 18And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work and preserve me for His heavenly kingdom. To Him be glory forever and ever. Amen! 2 Timothy 4:16-18 NKJV #6.

And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; then he bowed down on the ground, and put his face between his knees. 1 Kings 18:43 - ... and said to his servant, “Go up now, look toward the sea.” So he went up and looked, and said, “There is nothing.” And seven times he said, “Go again.” 1 Kings 18:44 - Then it came to pass the seventh time, that he said, “There is a cloud, as small as a man’s hand, rising out of the sea!” So he said, “Go up, say to Ahab, ‘Prepare your chariot, and go down before the rain stops you.’ ” 1 Kings 18:45-46 - Now it happened in the meantime that the sky became black with clouds and wind, and there was a heavy rain. So Ahab rode away and went to Jezreel. 46 Then the hand of the Lord came upon Elijah; and he girded up his loins and ran ahead of Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel. https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2018-07-15_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 16 Jul 2018 12:00:00 GMT 48:18 Guest Speaker Glenn Ruis Teryl Todd Matthew 13:19-25 Includes Glenn's "Evangel Top Ten List" https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2018-07-29_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 30 Jul 2018 12:00:00 GMT 54:23 How To Be Highly Favored And Supremely Blessed - Lesson 1 of the series How to Really be Happy Teryl Todd Matthew 13:19-25 1And seeing the multitudes, He went up on a mountain, and when He was seated His disciples came to Him. 2Then He opened His mouth and taught them, saying: 3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 5:1-3 NKJV The Greek word “makarios,” means to have God’s favor… for God to smile on your life. It means to be “Happy” and “Supremely Blessed…” so happy and blessed that other people congratulate you! #1. You Have To Admit Your Absolute Need of God. 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast. Ephesians 2:8-9 “For the grace of God that brings salvation hath appeared to all men.” Titus 2:11 Grace is God’s enabling power. Grace is His unmerited favor. Grace is God doing that for you and me, which we don’t deserve and can never repay. Grace is God doing for us what we can’t do for ourselves! #2. The Primary Thing That Prevents People From Finding Happiness and Admitting their Need Of God Is Pride. 6For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from this world. 1 John 2:16 NLT #3. Five Ways That Pride Works In People: • Pride makes us Self-focused • Pride makes us Self-sufficient • Pride makes us Self-secured • Pride makes us Self-righteous • Pride makes us Self-promotional …I hate pride and arrogance… Proverbs 8:13 NIV The LORD detests the proud; they will surely be punished. Proverbs 16:5 NLT For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.” Luke 14:11 NKJV “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” 1 Peter 5:5 NIV So let God work his will in you. Yell a loud no to the Devil and watch him scamper. 8Say a quiet yes to God and he’ll be there in no time. Quit dabbling in sin. Purify your inner life. Quit playing the field. 9Hit bottom, and cry your eyes out. The fun and games are over. Get serious, really serious. 10Get down on your knees before the Master; it’s the only way you’ll get on your feet. James 4:6b-10 MSG So Naaman went down to the Jordan River and dipped himself seven times, as the man of God had instructed him. And his skin became as healthy as the skin of a young child’s, and he was healed! 2 Kings 5:14 NLT https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2018-08-05_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 06 Aug 2018 12:00:00 GMT 55:52 The Grief That Attracts God’s Grace - Lesson 2 of the series How to Really be Happy Teryl Todd Matthew 5 Blessed are those who mourn, For they shall be comforted. Matthew 5:4 NKJV #1. The First Kind Of Grief That Attracts God’s Grace Is A Deep and Personal Grief About Out Own Sinful Condition. 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, Romans 3:23 23 For the wages of sin is death… Romans 6:23 1And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, 2in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience, 3among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others. Ephesians 2:1-3 NKJV 10 For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world produces death. 2 Corinthians 7:10 8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. 9 Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. James 4:8-9 “30 Saul’s anger flared up at Jonathan and he said to him, “You son of a perverse and rebellious woman! Don’t I know that you have sided with the son of Jesse to your own shame and to the shame of the mother who bore you?” 1 Samuel 20:30 NIV 2. The Second Kind Of Grief That Attracts God’s Grace Is Grieving Over The Sins Of Others. 3. The Third Type Of Grief That Attracts God’s Grace Is Grieving Over Our Own Personal Pain. Blessed are those who mourn, For they shall be comforted. Matthew 5:4 NKJV He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. Psalms 147:3 NKJV Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, 4who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 NKJV https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2018-08-12_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 13 Aug 2018 12:00:00 GMT 42:26 Showing Real Strength - Lesson 3 of the series How to Really be Happy Teryl Todd Matthew 5 Matthew 5:2-5 2 Then He opened His mouth and taught them, saying: 3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4 Blessed are those who mourn, For they shall be comforted. 5 Blessed are the meek, For they shall inherit the earth. Matthew 5:2-5 NKJV Four Keys To Understanding Biblical Meekness: 1. Meek People Are Not Weak People! ‘Do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God’s. 2 Chronicles 20:15 21 And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed those who should sing to the Lord, and who should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army and were saying: “Praise the Lord, For His mercy endures forever.” 22 Now when they began to sing and to praise, the Lord set ambushes against the people of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah; and they were defeated. 2 Chronicles 20:21-22 23 And when they had laid many stripes on them, they threw them into prison, commanding the jailer to keep them securely. 24 Having received such a charge, he put them into the inner prison and fastened their feet in the stocks 25 But at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them. 26 Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone’s chains were loosed. Acts 16:23-26 2. Biblical Meekness Is Power Under Control. 3. When You Choose Meekness, You Are Choosing Christ Likeness. 8Finally Abram said to Lot, “Let’s not allow this conflict to come between us or our herdsmen. After all, we are close relatives! 9The whole countryside is open to you. Take your choice of any section of the land you want, and we will separate. If you want the land to the left, then I’ll take the land on the right. If you prefer the land on the right, then I’ll go to the left.” 10Lot took a long look at the fertile plains of the Jordan Valley in the direction of Zoar. The whole area was well watered everywhere, like the garden of the LORD or the beautiful land of Egypt… 11Lot chose for himself the whole Jordan Valley to the east of them. He went there with his flocks and servants and parted company with his uncle Abram. 12So Abram settled in the land of Canaan… Genesis 13:8-12 NLT 3Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth. Numbers 12:3 KJV 18Then his brothers came and threw themselves down before Joseph. “Look, we are your slaves!” they said. 19But Joseph replied, “Don’t be afraid of me. Am I God, that I can punish you? 20You intended to harm me, but God intended it all for good. He brought me to this position so I could save the lives of many people. Genesis 50:18-20 NLT • One of the Ways That We Develop Meekness Is By Relying On The Holy Spirit’s Power. It is impossible to develop and maintain a meek spirit apart from the presence and power of the Holy Spirit. 22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. Galatians 5:22-23 KJV 7So David and Abishai went right into Saul’s camp and found him asleep, with his spear stuck in the ground beside his head. Abner and the soldiers were lying asleep around him. 8“God has surely handed your enemy over to you this time!” Abishai whispered to David. “Let me pin him to the ground with one thrust of the spear; I won’t need to strike twice!” 9“No!” David said. “Don’t kill him. For who can remain innocent after attacking the LORD’s anointed one? 10Surely the LORD will strike Saul down someday, or he will die of old age or in battle. 11The LORD forbid that I should kill the one he has anointed! 1 Samuel 26:7-11 • A Second Way That You Can Develop Meekness Is By Practicing Proverbs 3:5-6. 4. Here Are Some Immediate Rewards Of Meekness. • Meek people have less stress because they pass on the stresses of life to the One who is really in control – God. • Meek people make better decisions because they do not subscribe to the “me first” way of living. • Meek people are better balanced; they are settled in life. • Meek people are more pleasant; they are gentle and joyful. • Meek people are more productive; they are proactive rather than re-active. • Meek people are more useful to God because they are yielded to Him. https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2018-08-19_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 20 Aug 2018 12:00:00 GMT 41:21 Guest Speaker Ronald Gray Teryl Todd Matthew 5 Ronald Gray serves the Kingdom of God in missions and evangelism.

Matthew 5:6 NKJV Four Facts: #1. Hungering After Righteousness is Developing An Appetite For God, For Jesus, For The Holy Spirit and For God’s Word! 6 And this will be his name: ‘The LORD Is Our Righteousness. Jeremiah 23:6 NLT 7 For the Lord is righteous, He loves righteousness Psalms 11:7 NKJV #2. Righteousness Is Something That Is Given To Us, As A Free Gift, But We Must Seek It! 17For the sin of this one man, Adam, caused death to rule over many. But even greater is God’s wonderful grace and his gift of righteousness, for all who receive it will live in triumph over sin and death through this one man, Jesus Christ. 18Yes, Adam’s one sin brings condemnation for everyone, but Christ’s one act of righteousness brings a right relationship with God and new life for everyone. 19Because one person disobeyed God, many became sinners. But because one other person obeyed God, many will be made righteous. Romans 5:17-19 NLT 38 how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him. Acts 10:38 13 “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men. 14 “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.15 Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven. Matthew 5:13-16 #3. Righteousness Is A Free Gift, But Righteousness Is Also Something That We Grow In… 21For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. 2 Corinthians 5:21 NKJV Sanctify them through Thy Word… Thy Word is truth!” Jn 17:17 17Make them holy by your truth; teach them your word, which is truth. John 17:17 NLT 21If you keep yourself pure, you will be a special utensil for honorable use. Your life will be clean, and you will be ready for the Master to use you for every good work. 2 Timothy 2:21 NLT 9Don’t you realize that those who do wrong will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don’t fool yourselves. Those who indulge in sexual sin, or who worship idols, or commit adultery, or are male prostitutes, or practice homosexuality, 10or are thieves, or greedy people, or drunkards, or are abusive, or cheat people—none of these will inherit the Kingdom of God. 11And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God. 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 NLT 4.

Blessed are the merciful, For they shall obtain mercy. Matthew 5:1-7 NKJV 1. Mercy Begins With God. 5Now the Lord descended in the cloud and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the Lord. 6And the Lord passed before him and proclaimed, “The Lord, the Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abounding in goodness and truth.” Exodus 34:5-6 NKJV “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, 4who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 NKJV 4But God is so rich in mercy… Ephesians 2:4 Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we do not lose heart. 2 Corinthians 4:1 Five Ways The Mercy Of God Is Manifest: - God Is Kind, Good, Benevolent and Caring. I would have lost heart, unless I had believed That I would see the goodness of the Lord In the land of the living. Psalms 27:13 24 “Then he who had received the one talent came and said, ‘Lord, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you have not sown, and gathering where you have not scattered seed. 25 And I was afraid, and went and hid your talent in the ground. Look, there you have what is yours.’ 26 “But his lord answered and said to him, ‘You wicked and lazy servant, you knew that I reap where I have not sown, and gather where I have not scattered seed.27 So you ought to have deposited my money with the bankers, and at my coming I would have received back my own with interest. 28 So take the talent from him, and give it to him who has ten talents. Matthew 25:24-28 You are good, and do good; Psalms 119:68 - God Is Empathetic. He can feel what you feel. He understands what you go through and identifies with your pain and sorrow. 15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. 6 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. Hebrews 4:15-16 KJV - God Is Forgiving. When we ask for His forgiveness, He pardons without holding bitterness. He releases us from our debts. 12 As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our transgressions from us.. Psalms 103:12 - God Is Giving. He is a Giver! He is generous, ready and willing to extend blessing. “For God so loved the world that He gave…” John 3:16 - God is a Restorer. He takes broken lives and puts them back together again. (He restores my soul… Psalms 23) 2. Jesus Was Often “Moved With Compassion,” when He Encountered Human Need and Brokenness. 36When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them because they were confused and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Matthew 9:36 NLT A. The Divine flow of God’s love and mercy can move you toward the people God wants you to reach. We need to watch for the rising of this supernatural love, and be ready to follow wherever it leads us. 3As he was speaking, the teachers of religious law and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in the act of adultery. They put her in front of the crowd. 4“Teacher,” they said to Jesus, “this woman was caught in the act of adultery. 5The law of Moses says to stone her. What do you say?” 6They were trying to trap him into saying something they could use against him, but Jesus stooped down and wrote in the dust with his finger. 7They kept demanding an answer, so he stood up again and said, “All right, but let the one who has never sinned throw the first stone!” 8Then he stooped down again and wrote in the dust. 9When the accusers heard this, they slipped away one by one, beginning with the oldest, until only Jesus was left in the middle of the crowd with the woman. 10Then Jesus stood up again and said to the woman, “Where are your accusers? Didn’t even one of them condemn you?” 11“No, Lord,” she said. And Jesus said, “Neither do I. Go and sin no more.” John 8:3-11 NKJV B. The very same Jesus who dealt compassionately with the adulterous woman is the Jesus who deals with us now. C. Jesus didn’t condone her sin. He didn’t say: “Sexual sin isn’t so bad, don’t worry about it.” He did say: “Go and sin no more!” He met her at the point of her need and showed mercy in order to bring her to wholeness and to holiness! 3. Jesus Says The Pathway To Happiness Involves More Than Receiving God’s Mercy. Real Happiness Results From Showing His Mercy To Others. 1) "How often has God forgiven you when you have sinned and failed?" 2) "How often has God mercifully helped you when you created a mess?" 3) "How often has God mercifully remembered and stayed near you when you have forgotten Him?" 4) "How often has God mercifully fought battles for you when you’ve been under attack?" https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2018-09-23_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 24 Sep 2018 12:00:00 GMT 41:54 The Heart of the Matter - Lesson 6 of the series How to Really be Happy Teryl Todd Matthew 5 We start this week by hearing from Bruce McDonald of Regions Beyond International (see link below), then the sermon begins at 15:10. Blessed are the pure in heart, For they shall see God. Matthew 5:8 NKJV 1. Purity of Heart Comes By Grace Through Faith and Takes Place Inside Us. 25“What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you are so careful to clean the outside of the cup and the dish, but inside you are filthy—full of greed and self-indulgence! 26You blind Pharisee! First wash the inside of the cup and the dish, and then the outside will become clean, too. 27 …For you are like whitewashed tombs—beautiful on the outside but filled on the inside with dead people’s bones and all sorts of impurity. 28Outwardly you look like righteous people, but inwardly your hearts are filled with hypocrisy and lawlessness. Matthew 23:25-28 NLT 7 But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. 1 John 1:7 2. Purity of Heart Is Something we Grow In. Who may climb the mountain of the LORD? Who may stand in his holy place? Only those whose hands and hearts are pure, who do not worship idols and never tell lies. They will receive the LORD’s blessing and have a right relationship with God their Savior. Psalms 24:3-5 NLT 21If you keep yourself pure, you will be a special utensil for honorable use. Your life will be clean, and you will be ready for the Master to use you for every good work. 2 Timothy 2:21 NLT 3. Purity of Heart Must Be Guarded. 23 Keep your heart with all diligence, For out of it spring the issues of life. Prov. 4:23 20 My son, give attention to my words; Incline your ear to my sayings. 21 Do not let them depart from your eyes; Keep them in the midst of your heart; 22 For they are life to those who find them, And health to all their flesh. Proverbs 4:20-22 How can a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed according to Your word. 10 With my whole heart I have sought You; Oh, let me not wander from Your commandments! 11 Your word I have hidden in my heart, That I might not sin against You.

Let's turn to Acts 27. https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2018-10-14_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 15 Oct 2018 12:00:00 GMT 27:14 Jonah's Storm Teryl Todd Matthew 12:38-41 38Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered, saying, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from You.” 39But He answered and said to them, “An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. 40For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. 41The men of Nineveh will rise up in the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and indeed a greater than Jonah is here. Matthew 12:38-41 1Now the word of the Lord came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, 2“Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry out against it; for their wickedness has come up before Me.” 3But Jonah arose to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord. He went down to Joppa, and found a ship going to Tarshish; so he paid the fare, and went down into it, to go with them to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord. Jonah 1:1-3 23 Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, 24 leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. Matthew 5:23-24 Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? 8 If I ascend into heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there. 9 If I take the wings of the morning, And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, 10 Even there Your hand shall lead me, And Your right hand shall hold me. 11 If I say, “Surely the darkness shall fall on me,” Even the night shall be light about me; 12 Indeed, the darkness shall not hide from You, But the night shines as the day; The darkness and the light are both alike to You. Psalms 139:7-12 3But Jonah arose to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord. He went down to Joppa, and found a ship going to Tarshish; so he paid the fare, and went down into it, to go with them to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord. Jonah 1:3 4 But the Lord sent out a great wind on the sea, and there was a mighty tempest on the sea, so that the ship was about to be broken up. 5 Then the mariners were afraid; and every man cried out to his god, and threw the cargo that was in the ship into the sea, to lighten the load. But Jonah had gone down into the lowest parts of the ship, had lain down, and was fast asleep. 6 So the captain came to him, and said to him, “What do you mean, sleeper? Arise, call on your God; perhaps your God will consider us, so that we may not perish.” 7 And they said to one another, “Come, let us cast lots, that we may know for whose cause this trouble has come upon us.” So they cast lots, and the lot fell on Jonah. 8 Then they said to him, “Please tell us! For whose cause is this trouble upon us? What is your occupation? And where do you come from? What is your country? And of what people are you?” 9 So he said to them, “I am a Hebrew; and I fear the Lord, the God of heaven, who made the sea and the dry land.” 10 Then the men were exceedingly afraid, and said to him, “Why have you done this?” For the men knew that he fled from the presence of the Lord, because he had told them. 11 Then they said to him, “What shall we do to you that the sea may be calm for us?”—for the sea was growing more tempestuous. 12 And he said to them, “Pick me up and throw me into the sea; then the sea will become calm for you. For I know that this great tempest is because of me.” 13 Nevertheless the men rowed hard to return to land, but they could not, for the sea continued to grow more tempestuous against them. 14 Therefore they cried out to the Lord and said, “We pray, O Lord, please do not let us perish for this man’s life, and do not charge us with innocent blood; for You, O Lord, have done as it pleased You.” 15 So they picked up Jonah and threw him into the sea, and the sea ceased from its raging. 16 Then the men feared the Lord exceedingly, and offered a sacrifice to the Lord and took vows. 17 Now the Lord had prepared a great fish to swallow Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights. Jonah 1:4-17 Then Jonah prayed to the Lord his God from the fish’s belly. Jonah 2:1 So the Lord spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land. Jonah 2:10 https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2018-10-28_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 29 Oct 2018 12:00:00 GMT 40:13 Storms and God's Word Teryl Todd Mark 4:35-41 As evening came, Jesus said to his disciples, “Let’s cross to the other side of the lake.” 36 So they took Jesus in the boat and started out, leaving the crowds behind (although other boats followed). 37 But soon a fierce storm came up. High waves were breaking into the boat, and it began to fill with water. 38 Jesus was sleeping at the back of the boat with his head on a cushion. The disciples woke him up, shouting, “Teacher, don’t you care that we’re going to drown?” 39 When Jesus woke up, he rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Silence! Be still!” Suddenly the wind stopped, and there was a great calm. 40 Then he asked them, “Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith?” 41 The disciples were absolutely terrified. “Who is this man?” they asked each other. “Even the wind and waves obey him!” Mark 4:35-41 19 We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one. 1 John 5:19 NIV 14 The farmer plants seed by taking God’s word to others. 15 The seed that fell on the footpath represents those who hear the message, only to have Satan come at once and take it away. 16 The seed on the rocky soil represents those who hear the message and immediately receive it with joy. 17 But since they don’t have deep roots, they don’t last long. They fall away as soon as they have problems or are persecuted for believing God’s word. 18 The seed that fell among the thorns represents others who hear God’s word, 19 but all too quickly the message is crowded out by the worries of this life, the lure of wealth, and the desire for other things, so no fruit is produced.20 And the seed that fell on good soil represents those who hear and accept God’s word and produce a harvest of thirty, sixty, or even a hundred times as much as had been planted!” Mark 4:14-20 NLT By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God… Hebrews 11:3 My words “are life to those who find them, and health to all their flesh.” Proverbs 4:23 “I am [actively] watching over My word to fulfill it.” Jeremiah 1:12 AMP “No word from God shall be without power or impossible of fulfillment.” Luke 1:37 AMP Classic Edition “…faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” Romans 10:17 “…the word of God… is effectually at work in you who believe [exercising its inherent, supernatural power in those of faith]. 1 Thessalonians 2:13 AMP "For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart." Hebrews 4:12 NIV "I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you." Psalms 119:11 NIV https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2018-11-04_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 05 Nov 2018 12:00:00 GMT 37:21 It's About the Destination Teryl Todd Mark 5:1-6 “So they arrived at the other side of the lake, in the region of the Gerasenes. 2 When Jesus climbed out of the boat, a man possessed by an evil spirit came out from the tombs to meet him. 3 This man lived in the burial caves and could no longer be restrained, even with a chain. 4 Whenever he was put into chains and shackles—as he often was—he snapped the chains from his wrists and smashed the shackles. No one was strong enough to subdue him. 5 Day and night he wandered among the burial caves and in the hills, howling and cutting himself with sharp stones. 6 When he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and worshiped Him.” Mark 5:1-6 NLT 15 "A crowd soon gathered around Jesus, and they saw the man who had been possessed by the legion of demons. He was sitting there fully clothed and perfectly sane…” Mark 5:15 NLT 20 "So the man started off to visit the Ten Towns of that region and began to proclaim the great things Jesus had done for him; and everyone was amazed at what he told them." Mark 5:20 21 When these things were accomplished, Paul purposed in the Spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, “After I have been there, I must also see Rome. ” Acts 19:21 22 And see, now I go bound in the spirit to Jerusalem, not knowing the things that will happen to me there, 23 except that the Holy Spirit testifies in every city, saying that chains and tribulations await me. 24 But none of these things move me; NOR DO I COUNT MY LIFE DEAR TO MYSELF, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God. Acts 20:22-24 11 But the following night the Lord stood by him and said, “Be of good cheer, Paul; for as you have testified for Me in Jerusalem, so you must also bear witness at Rome.” Acts 23:11 “Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off the goal.” -Henry Ford “You must keep your mind on the objective, not the obstacle.” - William Randolph Hurst “You will never reach your destination if you stop and throw stones at every dog that barks.” – Winston Churchill So if God has given you the ability to PROPHESY, speak out with as much faith as God has given you. 7 If your gift is SERVING others, serve them well. If you are a TEACHER, teach well. 8 If your gift is to ENCOURAGE others, be encouraging. If it is GIVING, give generously. If God has given you LEADERSHIP ABILITY, take the responsibility seriously. And if you have a gift for SHOWING KINDNESS (MERCY) to others, do it gladly.

Luke 1:30-35 “I sank beneath the waves, and the waters closed over me. Seaweed wrapped itself around my head.” Jonah 2:5 NLT 1. Sometimes When You’re Receiving A Miracle, All You Know Is That Seaweed Is Wrapped Around Your Head. “We aren’t illegitimate children!” John 8:41 NLT 2. When God Performs Miracles, He Doesn’t Always Consider Our Comfort. And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed. 2 (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) 3 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. 4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:) 5 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. 6 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. 7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.

For we have seen His star in the East and have come to worship Him.” Matthew 2:1-2 11 And when they had come into the house, they saw the young Child with Mary His mother, and fell down and worshiped Him. And when they had opened their treasures, they presented gifts to Him: gold, frankincense, and myrrh. #1. (v.11) God Can Use People You Don’t Know To Bless You. 13 Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, “Arise, take the young Child and His mother, flee to Egypt, and stay there until I bring you word; for Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.” 14 When he arose, he took the young Child and His mother by night and departed for Egypt. Matthew 2:13-14 #2. God Can Take Care Of Your Tomorrow’s. “I have been young, and now am old; yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.” Psalms 37:25 Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem, 2 saying, “Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East and have come to worship Him.” Matthew 2:1-2 #3. God Can Override The Systems Of The Universe To Get You The Help You Need! #4. Jesus’ Human Birth In Bethlehem Was Not His Beginning, But Merely His Manifestation To Man – A Brief Appearance In His Eternal Existence! 5 You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had. 6 Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. 7 Instead, he gave up his divine privileges; he took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being. When he appeared in human form, 8 he humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal’s death on a cross. 9 Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor and gave him the name above all other names, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue declare that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Matthew 26:19 > > 25 not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting (encouraging) one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching. Hebrews 10:25 > > “…Offenses will come…” Luke 17:1 > > 43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you…” Matthew 5:43-44 > > When evening had come, He sat down with the twelve. 21 Now as they were eating, He said, “Assuredly, I say to you, one of you will betray Me.” 22 And they were exceedingly sorrowful, and each of them began to say to Him, “Lord, is it I?” 23 He answered and said, “He who dipped his hand with Me in the dish will betray Me. Matthew 26:20-23 > > 24 The Son of Man indeed goes just as it is written of Him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed!

Matthew 26:27-28 > > 29 But I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father’s kingdom.” Matthew 26:29 > > 30 And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives. 31 Then Jesus said to them, “All of you will be [f]made to stumble (offended) because of Me this night… Matthew 26:29-21 https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2019-01-06_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 07 Jan 2019 12:00:00 GMT 42:20 The Goodness of God Teryl Todd Acts 10:34-36 34 Then Peter opened his mouth and said: “In truth I perceive that God shows no partiality. 35 But in every nation whoever fears Him and works righteousness is accepted by Him. 36 The word which God sent to the children of Israel, preaching peace through Jesus Christ—He is Lord of all— Acts 10:34-36 9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that He, by the grace of God, might taste death for everyone. Hebrews 2:9 37 that word you know, which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, and began from Galilee after the baptism which John preached: 38 how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him. Acts 10:37-38 39 And we are witnesses of all things which He did both in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem, whom they killed by hanging on a tree. 40 Him God raised up on the third day, and showed Him openly, 41 not to all the people, but to witnesses chosen before by God, even to us who ate and drank with Him after He arose from the dead. 42 And He commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that it is He who was ordained by God to be Judge of the living and the dead. 43 To Him all the prophets witness that, through His name, whoever believes in Him will receive remission of sins.” Acts 10:39-43 https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2019-01-20_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 21 Jan 2019 12:00:00 GMT 32:55 The Uncomfortable Reality Of Hell Teryl Todd Acts 10:1-8 Acts 10:1-8 - In Caesarea there lived a Roman army officer named Cornelius, who was a captain of the Italian Regiment. 2 He was a devout, God-fearing man, as was everyone in his household. He gave generously to the poor and prayed regularly to God. 3 One afternoon about three o’clock, he had a vision in which he saw an angel of God coming toward him. “Cornelius!” the angel said. 4 Cornelius stared at him in terror. “What is it, sir?” he asked the angel. And the angel replied, “Your prayers and gifts to the poor have been received by God as an offering! 5 Now send some men to Joppa, and summon a man named Simon Peter. 6 He is staying with Simon, a tanner who lives near the seashore.” 7 As soon as the angel was gone, Cornelius called two of his household servants and a devout soldier, one of his personal attendants. 8 He told them what had happened and sent them off to Joppa. Acts 10:1-8 NLT Acts 11:1-4 - Soon the news reached the apostles and other believers in Judea that the Gentiles had received the word of God. 2 But when Peter arrived back in Jerusalem, the Jewish believers criticized him. 3 “You entered the home of Gentiles and even ate with them!” they said. 4 Then Peter told them exactly what had happened. Acts 11:1-4 NLT Acts 11:11-14 - 11 “Three men who had been sent from Caesarea arrived at the house where we were staying. 12 The Holy Spirit told me to go with them and not to worry that they were Gentiles. These six brothers here accompanied me, and we soon entered the home of the man who had sent for us. 13 He told us how an angel had appeared to him in his home and had told him, ‘Send messengers to Joppa, and summon a man named Simon Peter. 14 He will tell you how you and everyone in your household can be saved!’ Acts 11:11-14 NLT 9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that He, by the grace of God, might taste death for everyone. Hebrews 2:9 “But cowards, unbelievers, the corrupt, murderers, the immoral, those who practice witchcraft, idol worshipers, and all liars—their fate is in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.” Revelation 21:8 NLT The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness, 42 and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Matthew 13:41-42 …when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels, 8 in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know God, and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 These shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power, 1 Thessalonians 1:7-9 “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. John 3:18; He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.” John 3:36 https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2019-01-27_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 28 Jan 2019 12:00:00 GMT 41:43 The Trustworthiness Of God’s Word Teryl Todd Psalms 19:1-6 The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament shows His handiwork. 2 Day unto day utters speech, And night unto night reveals knowledge. 3 There is no speech nor language Where their voice is not heard. 4 Their line has gone out through all the earth, And their words to the end of the world. In them He has set a tabernacle for the sun, 5 Which is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, And rejoices like a strong man to run its race. 6 Its rising is from one end of heaven, And its circuit to the other end; And there is nothing hidden from its heat. Psalms 19:1-6 7 The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul; The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple; Psalms 19:7 21 for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. 2 Peter 1:21 16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 8 The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes; 9 The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. 10 More to be desired are they than gold, Yea, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. 11 Moreover by them Your servant is warned, And in keeping them there is great reward. Psalms 19:8-11 https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2019-02-03_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 04 Feb 2019 12:00:00 GMT 30:05 Welcome to the Arena - Let's Get in the Game! Teryl Todd Psalms 19:1-6 Our guest speaker, Pastor Scott Lingerfelt, says don't be just a spectator. It's time to get in the game! 1 Corinthians 4:9-10, "9 For I think that God has displayed us, the apostles, last, as men condemned to death; for we have been made a spectacle [a]to the world, both to angels and to men. 10 We are fools for Christ’s sake, but you are wise in Christ! We are weak, but you are strong! You are distinguished, but we are dishonored!" https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2019-02-10_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 11 Feb 2019 12:00:00 GMT 28:56 Healing and Wholeness Teryl Todd Exodus 15:22-26 22 So Moses brought Israel from the Red Sea; then they went out into the Wilderness of Shur. And they went three days in the wilderness and found no water. 23 Now when they came to Marah, they could not drink the waters of Marah, for they were bitter. Therefore the name of it was called Marah. 24 And the people complained against Moses, saying, “What shall we drink?” 25 So he cried out to the Lord, and the Lord showed him a tree. When he cast it into the waters, the waters were made sweet. There He made a statute and an ordinance for them, and there He tested them, 26 and said, “If you diligently heed the voice of the Lord your God and do what is right in His sight, give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have brought on the Egyptians. For I am the Lord who heals you.” Exodus 15:22-26 23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people. Matthew 4:23 14 Are any of you sick? You should call for the elders of the church to come and pray over you, anointing you with oil in the name of the Lord.15 Such a prayer offered in faith will heal the sick, and the Lord will make you well. And if you have committed any sins, you will be forgiven. 16 Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results. James 5:14-16 NLT 8 for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, 10 to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. 11 But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills.1 Corinthians 12:8-11 26 and said, “If you diligently heed the voice of the Lord your God and do what is right in His sight, give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have brought on the Egyptians. For I am the Lord who heals you.” Exodus 15:22-26 17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him Ephesians 1:17 https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2019-02-17_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 18 Feb 2019 12:00:00 GMT 38:25 Anchoring Along Teryl Todd Hebrews 6:17-20 Hebrews 6:17-20, "17 Thus God, determining to show more abundantly to the heirs of promise the [a]immutability of His counsel, [b]confirmed it by an oath, 18 that by two [c]immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we [d]might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us. 19 This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters the Presence behind the veil, 20 where the forerunner has entered for us, even Jesus, having become High Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek." https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2019-02-24_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 25 Feb 2019 12:00:00 GMT 49:56 The Importance of Your Testimony - Overcoming Darkness Part 1 Teryl Todd Revelation 12:11 11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death. Revelation 12:11 Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful; 2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he meditates day and night. 3 He shall be like a tree Planted by the rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper. Psalms 1:1-3 For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” 6 So we may boldly say: “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?” Hebrews 13:5-6 7 Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go. Joshua 1:7 8 This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.

Revelation 12:11 He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing.” Zephaniah 3:17 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. 3 He restores my soul. Psalms 23:1-3a “A bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out, till he has brought justice through to victory.” Matthew 12:20 NIV He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. 5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the Lord Forever.

Revelation 12:11 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. Psalms 91:1 The Lord your God in your midst, The Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing.” Zephaniah 3:17 2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.” 3 Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler And from the perilous pestilence. Psalms 91:2-3 3 For he will rescue you from every trap and protect you from deadly disease. Psalms 91:3 NLT 4 He shall cover you with His feathers, And under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler. 5 You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, Nor of the arrow that flies by day, 6 Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday. 7 A thousand may fall at your side, And ten thousand at your right hand; But it shall not come near you. 8 Only with your eyes shall you look, And see the reward of the wicked. 9 Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge, Even the Most High, your dwelling place, 10 No evil shall befall you, Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling; 11 For He shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you in all your ways. 12 In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone. 13 You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra,The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot. 14 “Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he has known My name. 15 He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him. 16 With long life I will satisfy him, And show him My salvation.” Psalms 91:4-16 NKJV https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2019-03-24_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 25 Mar 2019 12:00:00 GMT 39:31 Anxiety and Fear - Overcoming Darkness Part 4 by Nex Gen Pastor Zach Barnes Teryl Todd Revelation 12:11 They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death. Revelation 12:11 10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Ephesians 6:10-11 That power is the same as the mighty strength 20 he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, 21 far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. Ephesians 1:20-21 5 And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross. Colossians 2:15 Even though I walk through the darkest valley,[a] I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

Luke 15:1-7 8 “Or what woman, having ten silver coins, if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp, sweep the house, and search carefully until she finds it? 9 And when she has found it, she calls her friends and neighbors together, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the piece which I lost!’ 10 Likewise, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.” Luke 15:8-10 11 Then He said: “A certain man had two sons. 12 And the younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me the portion of goods that falls to me.’ So he divided to them his livelihood. 13 And not many days after, the younger son gathered all together, journeyed to a far country, and there wasted his possessions with prodigal living. 14 But when he had spent all, there arose a severe famine in that land, and he began to be in want. 15 Then he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. 16 And he would gladly have filled his stomach with the pods that the swine ate, and no one gave him anything. 17 “But when he came to himself, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! 18 I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you, 19 and I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants.” ’ 20 “And he arose and came to his father. But when he was still a great way off, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him.21 And the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight, and am no longer worthy to be called your son.’ 22 “But the father said to his servants, ‘Bring out the best robe and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet. 23 And bring the fatted calf here and kill it, and let us eat and be merry; 24 for this my son was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ And they began to be merry.

What is your reading of it?” 27 So he answered and said, “ ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind,’ and ‘your neighbor as yourself.’ ” 28 And He said to him, “You have answered rightly; do this and you will live.” 29 But he, wanting to justify himself, said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” 30 Then Jesus answered and said: “A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, who stripped him of his clothing, wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. 31 Now by chance a certain priest came down that road. And when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.32 Likewise a Levite, when he arrived at the place, came and looked, and passed by on the other side. 33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was. And when he saw him, he had compassion. 34 So he went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine; and he set him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him. 35 On the next day, when he departed, he took out two denarii, gave them to the innkeeper, and said to him, ‘Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, when I come again, I will repay you.’ 36 So which of these three do you think was neighbor to him who fell among the thieves?” 37 And he said, “He who showed mercy on him.” Then Jesus said to him, “Go and do likewise.” Luke 10:25-37 “A man with leprosy came to him and begged him on his knees, ‘If you are willing, you can make me clean.’ Filled with compassion, Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. ‘I am willing,’ he said. ‘Be clean!’ Immediately the leprosy left him and he was cured.”

But David strengthened himself in the Lord his God. 1 Samuel 30:1-6 5 For indeed, when we came to Macedonia, our bodies had no rest, but we were troubled on every side. Outside were conflicts, inside were fears. 6 Nevertheless God, who comforts the downcast, comforted us by the coming of Titus, 2 Corinthians 7:5-6 6 Be strong and of good courage, for to this people you shall divide as an inheritance the land which I swore to their fathers to give them. 7 Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go. 8 This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. 9 Have I not commanded you?

I asked them about the Jews who had returned there from captivity and about how things were going in Jerusalem. 3They said to me, “Things are not going well for those who returned to the province of Judah. They are in great trouble and disgrace. The wall of Jerusalem has been torn down, and the gates have been destroyed by fire.” 4When I heard this, I sat down and wept.

Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children. 3 This man went up from his city yearly to worship and sacrifice to the Lord of hosts in Shiloh. Also the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, the priests of the Lord, were there. 4 And whenever the time came for Elkanah to make an offering, he would give portions to Peninnah his wife and to all her sons and daughters. 5 But to Hannah he would give a double portion, for he loved Hannah, although the Lord had closed her womb. 6 And her rival also provoked her severely, to make her miserable, because the Lord had closed her womb. 7 So it was, year by year, when she went up to the house of the Lord, that she provoked her; therefore she wept and did not eat. 8 Then Elkanah her husband said to her, “Hannah, why do you weep? Why do you not eat? And why is your heart grieved? Am I not better to you than ten sons?” 9 So Hannah arose after they had finished eating and drinking in Shiloh. Now Eli the priest was sitting on the seat by the doorpost of the tabernacle of the Lord. 10 And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed to the Lord and wept in anguish. 11 Then she made a vow and said, “O Lord of hosts, if You will indeed look on the affliction of Your maidservant and remember me, and not forget Your maidservant, but will give Your maidservant a male child, then I will give him to the Lord all the days of his life, and no razor shall come upon his head.” 1 Samuel 1:1-11 12 And it happened, as she continued praying before the Lord, that Eli watched her mouth. 13 Now Hannah spoke in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard. Therefore Eli thought she was drunk. 14 So Eli said to her, “How long will you be drunk? Put your wine away from you!” 15 But Hannah answered and said, “No, my lord, I am a woman of sorrowful spirit. I have drunk neither wine nor intoxicating drink, but have poured out my soul before the Lord. 16 Do not consider your maidservant a wicked woman, for out of the abundance of my complaint and grief I have spoken until now.” 17 Then Eli answered and said, “Go in peace, and the God of Israel grant your petition which you have asked of Him.” 18 And she said, “Let your maidservant find favor in your sight.” So the woman went her way and ate, and her face was no longer sad. 1 Samuel 1:12-18 20 So it came to pass in the process of time that Hannah conceived and bore a son, and called his name Samuel, saying, “Because I have asked for him from the Lord.” 1 Samuel 1:20 24 When the child was weaned, Hannah took him to the Tabernacle in Shiloh. They brought along a three-year-old bull for the sacrifice and a basket of flour and some wine. 25 After sacrificing the bull, they brought the boy to Eli. 26 “Sir, do you remember me?” Hannah asked. “I am the very woman who stood here several years ago praying to the Lord. 27 I asked the Lord to give me this boy, and he has granted my request. 28 Now I am giving him to the Lord, and he will belong to the Lord his whole life.” And they worshiped the Lord there. 1 Samuel 1:24-28 NLT 18 But Samuel, though he was only a boy, served the Lord. He wore a linen garment like that of a priest. 19 Each year his mother made a small coat for him and brought it to him when she came with her husband for the sacrifice. 20 Before they returned home, Eli would bless Elkanah and his wife and say, “May the Lord give you other children to take the place of this one she gave to the Lord.” 21 And the Lord blessed Hannah, and she conceived and gave birth to three sons and two daughters. Meanwhile, Samuel grew up in the presence of the Lord. 1 Samuel 2:18-21 NLT 8 We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; We are perplexed, but not in despair; 9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed. 2 Corinthians 4:8-9 13 And since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, “I believed and therefore I spoke,” we also believe and therefore speak, 2 Corinthians 4:13 16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. 17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, 18 while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2019-05-19_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 20 May 2019 12:00:00 GMT 43:30 Relaunch Lesson 4 - Vision, Strategy and Tactics Teryl Todd Deuteronomy 8:11-14 11 Be careful that you do not forget the Lord your God, failing to observe his commands, his laws and his decrees that I am giving you this day. 12 Otherwise, when you eat and are satisfied, when you build fine houses and settle down,13 and when your herds and flocks grow large and your silver and gold increase and all you have is multiplied, 14 then your heart will become proud and you will forget the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery Deuteronomy 8:11-14 NIV 18 But remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your ancestors, as it is today. Deuteronomy 8:18 NIV · Mission · Vision · Strategy · Tactics · Purpose · Function And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2“Send men to spy out the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the children of Israel; from each tribe of their fathers you shall send a man, everyone a leader among them.” Numbers 13:1 27Then they told him, and said: “We went to the land where you sent us. It truly flows with milk and honey, and this is its fruit. 28Nevertheless the people who dwell in the land are strong; the cities are fortified and very large; moreover we saw the descendants of Anak there. 29The Amalekites dwell in the land of the South; the Hittites, the Jebusites, and the Amorites dwell in the mountains; and the Canaanites dwell by the sea and along the banks of the Jordan.” 30Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, “Let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome it.” 31But the men who had gone up with him said, “We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we.” 32And they gave the children of Israel a bad report of the land which they had spied out, saying, “The land through which we have gone as spies is a land that devours its inhabitants, and all the people whom we saw in it are men of great stature. 33There we saw the giants (the descendants of Anak came from the giants); and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight.” Numbers 13:27-33 So all the congregation lifted up their voices and cried, and the people wept that night. 2 And all the children of Israel complained against Moses and Aaron, and the whole congregation said to them, “If only we had died in the land of Egypt! Or if only we had died in this wilderness! 3 Why has the Lord brought us to this land to fall by the sword, that our wives and children should become victims? Would it not be better for us to return to Egypt?” 4 So they said to one another, “Let us select a leader and return to Egypt.” 5 Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel. 6 But Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who were among those who had spied out the land, tore their clothes; 7 and they spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying: “The land we passed through to spy out is an exceedingly good land. 8 If the Lord delights in us, then He will bring us into this land and give it to us, ‘a land which flows with milk and honey.’ 9 Only do not rebel against the Lord, nor fear the people of the land, for they are our bread; their protection has departed from them, and the Lord is with us. Do not fear them.” Numbers 14:1-9 But My servant Caleb, because he has a different spirit in him and has followed Me fully, I will bring into the land where he went, and his descendants shall inherit it.

God Gave Moses A Great Calling and Vision. 19 But I am sure that the king of Egypt will not let you go, no, not even by a mighty hand. Exodus 3:19 20 So I will stretch out My hand and strike Egypt with all My wonders which I will do in its midst; and after that he will let you go. Exodus 3:20 12-13 Friends, when life gets really difficult, don’t jump to the conclusion that God isn’t on the job. Instead, be glad that you are in the very thick of what Christ experienced. This is a spiritual refining process, with glory just around the corner. 1 Peter 4:12-13 MSG #2. Challenge Bring Stress. 11 But Moses said to God, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring the children of Israel out of Egypt?” Exodus 3:11 3 The tempter came to him and said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.” 4 Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’ 5 Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. 6 “If you are the Son of God,” he said, “throw yourself down. For it is written: “‘He will command his angels concerning you, and they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.’” 7 Jesus answered him, “It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’” Matthew 4:3-7 NIV #3. Stress Creates Either A Reaction Or A Response In You. 10 Then Moses said to the Lord, “O my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither before nor since You have spoken to Your servant; but I am slow of speech and slow of tongue.” Exodus 4:10 13 But he said, “O my Lord, please send by the hand of whomever else You may send.” Exodus 4:13 #4.

Acts 2:1-4 Questions About The Baptism In the Holy Spirit: 16 Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? 1 Corinthians 3:16 And it happened, while Apollos was at Corinth, that Paul, having passed through the upper regions, came to Ephesus. And finding some disciples 2 he said to them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” So they said to him, “We have not so much as heard whether there is a Holy Spirit…” 5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 6 And when Paul had laid hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke with tongues and prophesied. 7 Now the men were about twelve in all. Acts 19:1-2, 5-7 18Don’t be drunk with wine, because that will ruin your life. Instead, be filled with the Holy Spirit, 19singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves, and making music to the Lord in your hearts. Ephesians 5:18-19 NLT But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” Acts 1:8 NKJV 26Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Romans 8:26 NKJV 12Therefore, dear brothers and sisters, you have no obligation to do what your sinful nature urges you to do. 13For if you live by its dictates, you will die. But if through the power of the Spirit you put to death the deeds of your sinful nature, you will live. 14For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. Romans 8:12-14 NLT 1On the day of Pentecost all the believers were meeting together in one place. 4And everyone present was filled with the Holy Spirit and began speaking in other languages (tongues), as the Holy Spirit gave them this ability.

Jude 1:20 NIV 4He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself… 1 Corinthians 14:4 NIV 1Now, dear brothers and sisters, regarding your question about the special abilities the Spirit gives us. I don’t want you to misunderstand this. 2You know that when you were still pagans, you were led astray and swept along in worshiping speechless idols. 3So I want you to know that no one speaking by the Spirit of God will curse Jesus, and no one can say Jesus is Lord, except by the Holy Spirit.

Remorse – A deep regret or guilt for a wrong committed, that can result in self-resentment and self-hatred. Repentance – To turn away from your sin and past and turn to God’s grace and forgiveness in Christ. Then accept God’s forgiveness and forgive others and yourself. Five Cause of Regret: 1. Past Mistakes 3 When Judas, who had betrayed him, realized that Jesus had been condemned to die, he was filled with remorse. So he took the thirty pieces of silver back to the leading priests and the elders. 4 “I have sinned,” he declared, “for I have betrayed an innocent man.” “What do we care?” they retorted. “That’s your problem.” 5 Then Judas threw the silver coins down in the Temple and went out and hanged himself. Matthew 27:3-5 “For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world produces death.” 2 Corinthians 7:10 2.

Understand: God’s Essential Nature Is Love. 8 He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. 1 John 4:8 10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 1 John 4:10 #2. God Loves People Even When Their Lives Are Terribly Messed Up. #3. Work With and Not For God. And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, also how he had executed all the prophets with the sword. 2 Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, “So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I do not make your life as the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time.” 3 And when he saw that, he arose and ran for his life, and went to Beersheba, which belongs to Judah, and left his servant there. 4 But he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a broom tree.

I alone am left; and they seek to take my life.” 11 Then He said, “Go out, and stand on the mountain before the Lord.” And behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake; 12 and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice. 13 So it was, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood in the entrance of the cave. Suddenly a voice came to him, and said, “What are you doing here, Elijah?” 14 And he said, “I have been very zealous for the Lord God of hosts; because the children of Israel have forsaken Your covenant, torn down Your altars, and killed Your prophets with the sword. I alone am left; and they seek to take my life.” 15 Then the Lord said to him: “Go, return on your way to the Wilderness of Damascus; and when you arrive, anoint Hazael as king over Syria. 16 Also you shall anoint Jehu the son of Nimshi as king over Israel. And Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel Meholah you shall anoint as prophet in your place. 17 It shall be that whoever escapes the sword of Hazael, Jehu will kill; and whoever escapes the sword of Jehu, Elisha will kill. 18 Yet I have reserved seven thousand in Israel, all whose knees have not bowed to Baal, and every mouth that has not kissed him.” 1 Kings 19:9-18 https://wave94.com/podcast/audio/EvangelTallahassee/2019-06-23_EvangelTLH.mp3 Mon, 24 Jun 2019 12:00:00 GMT 59:27 Spiritual Burnout - When Doing All You Can Isn’t Enough - Lesson 2: Asaph's Story Teryl Todd Psalms 73:1-5 Truly God is good to Israel, to those whose hearts are pure. 2 But as for me, I almost lost my footing. My feet were slipping, and I was almost gone. 3 For I envied the proud when I saw them prosper despite their wickedness. 4 They seem to live such painless lives; their bodies are so healthy and strong. 5 They don’t have troubles like other people; they’re not plagued with problems like everyone else. Psalms 73:1-5 Burnout describes the condition of a person who has become mentally and emotionally exhausted in their reach for success. Spiritual Burn Out – “A state of fatigue or frustration brought about by devotion to a cause, a way of life, or a relationship that fails to produce the expected reward.” 16 David also ordered the Levite leaders to appoint a choir of Levites who were singers and musicians to sing joyful songs to the accompaniment of harps, lyres, and cymbals. 17 So the Levites appointed Heman… Asaph… and Ethan… 1 Chronicles 15:16,17 NLT 4 David appointed the following Levites to lead the people in worship before the Ark of the Lord—to invoke his blessings, to give thanks, and to praise the Lord, the God of Israel. 5 Asaph, the leader of this group, sounded the cymbals… 1 Chronicles 16:4-5 NLT 7 On that day David gave to Asaph and his fellow Levites this song of thanksgiving to the Lord… 1 Chronicles 16:7 NLT 37 David arranged for Asaph and his fellow Levites to serve regularly before the Ark of the Lord’s Covenant, doing whatever needed to be done each day. 1 Chronicles 16:37 NLT 6 They wear pride like a jeweled necklace and clothe themselves with cruelty. 7 These fat cats have everything their hearts could ever wish for! 8 They scoff and speak only evil in their pride they seek to crush others. 9 They boast against the very heavens, and their words strut throughout the earth. 10 And so the people are dismayed and confused, drinking in all their words. 11 “What does God know?” they ask. “Does the Most High even know what’s happening?” 12 Look at these wicked people— enjoying a life of ease while their riches multiply. Psalms 73:6-12 13 Did I keep my heart pure for nothing? Did I keep myself innocent for no reason? 14 I get nothing but trouble all day long; every morning brings me pain. Psalms 73:13-14 If I had really spoken this way to others, I would have been a traitor to your people. Psalms 73:15 NLT 17 Then I went into your sanctuary, O God, and I finally understood the destiny of the wicked. 18 Truly, you put them on a slippery path and send them sliding over the cliff to destruction. 19 In an instant they are destroyed, completely swept away by terrors. 20 When you arise, O Lord, you will laugh at their silly ideas as a person laughs at dreams in the morning. Psalms 73:17-20 NLT 21 Then I realized that my heart was bitter, and I was all torn up inside. Psalms 73:21 NLT “…When my heart was embittered And I was pierced within. Psalms 73:21 NAS 22 I was so foolish and ignorant— I must have seemed like a senseless animal to you. 23 Yet I still belong to you; you hold my right hand. 24 You guide me with your counsel, leading me to a glorious destiny. 25 Whom have I in heaven but you? I desire you more than anything on earth. 26 My health may fail, and my spirit may grow weak, but God remains the strength of my heart; he is mine forever.

Fear is faith in what your five senses tell you. Fear is faith in your circumstances. 2. When you experience fear it is only a reminder that you are the branch and Jesus is the Vine, and of yourself you can do nothing. “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. John 15:5 3. Fear is a reminder that you and I are completely dependent on God - that His strength is made perfect in our weakness, and His grace is sufficient. 4. Fear is a reminder that I am helpless to handle life in my own strength and wisdom, and that I need to focus on the truth that God loves me! And that Jesus will never leave me or forsake me! 5. Fear is panic in the mind. Looking rapidly from one useless human solution to another. 3 And Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself to seek the Lord, and proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah. 4 So Judah gathered together to ask help from the Lord; and from all the cities of Judah they came to seek the Lord. 5 Then Jehoshaphat stood in the assembly of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of the Lord, before the new court, 6 and said: “O Lord God of our fathers, are You not God in heaven, and do You not rule over all the kingdoms of the nations, and in Your hand is there not power and might, so that no one is able to withstand You? 2 Chronicles 20:3-6 7 Are You not our God, who drove out the inhabitants of this land before Your people Israel, and gave it to the descendants of Abraham Your friend forever? 8 And they dwell in it, and have built You a sanctuary in it for Your name, saying, 9 ‘If disaster comes upon us—sword, judgment, pestilence, or famine—we will stand before this temple and in Your presence (for Your name is in this temple), and cry out to You in our affliction, and You will hear and save.’ 2 Chronicles 20:7-9 12 O our God, will You not judge them? For we have no power against this great multitude that is coming against us; nor do we know what to do, but our eyes are upon You.” 13 Now all Judah, with their little ones, their wives, and their children, stood before the Lord. 2 Chronicles 20:12-13 14 Then the Spirit of the Lord came upon Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, a Levite of the sons of Asaph, in the midst of the assembly. 15 And he said, “Listen, all you of Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem, and you, King Jehoshaphat! Thus says the Lord to you: ‘Do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God’s. 2 Chronicles 20:14-15 17 You will not need to fight in this battle. Position yourselves, stand still and see the salvation of the Lord, who is with you, O Judah and Jerusalem!’ Do not fear or be dismayed; tomorrow go out against them, for the Lord is with you.” 2 Chronicles 20:17 18 And Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground, and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem bowed before the Lord, worshiping the Lord. 19 Then the Levites of the children of the Kohathites and of the children of the Korahites stood up to praise the Lord God of Israel with voices loud and high. 20 So they rose early in the morning and went out into the Wilderness of Tekoa; and as they went out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, “Hear me, O Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem: Believe in the Lord your God, and you shall be established; believe His prophets, and you shall prosper.” 21 And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed those who should sing to the Lord, and who should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army and were saying: “Praise the Lord, For His mercy endures forever.” 22 Now when they began to sing and to praise, the Lord set ambushes against the people of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah; and they were defeated. 23 For the people of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of Mount Seir to utterly kill and destroy them. And when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, they helped to destroy one another. 24 So when Judah came to a place overlooking the wilderness, they looked toward the multitude; and there were their dead bodies, fallen on the earth. No one had escaped. 25 When Jehoshaphat and his people came to take away their spoil, they found among them an abundance of valuables on the dead bodies, and precious jewelry, which they stripped off for themselves, more than they could carry away; and they were three days gathering the spoil because there was so much. 2 Chronicles 20:18-25 27 Then they returned, every man of Judah and Jerusalem, with Jehoshaphat in front of them, to go back to Jerusalem with joy, for the Lord had made them rejoice over their enemies. 2 Chronicles 20:27 https://feeds.soundcloud.com/stream/651622172-wave94-spiritual-burnout-when-doing-all-you-can-isnt-enough-lesson-3-dont-let-fear-burn-you-out.mp3 Mon, 15 Jul 2019 12:00:00 GMT 45:05 Spiritual Burnout - When Doing All You Can Isn’t Enough - Lesson 4: The Man Who Would Not Forgive Teryl Todd Burn Out 23 “When Ahithophel realized that his advice had not been followed, he saddled his donkey, went to his hometown, set his affairs in order, and hanged himself. He died there and was buried in the family tomb.” 2 Samuel 17:23 NLT “For every word Ahithophel spoke seemed as wise as though it had come directly from the mouth of God.” 2 Samuel 16:23 NLT In the spring of the year, when kings normally go out to war, David sent Joab and the Israelite army to fight the Ammonites. They destroyed the Ammonite army and laid siege to the city of Rabbah. However, David stayed behind in Jerusalem. 2 Late one afternoon, after his midday rest, David got out of bed and was walking on the roof of the palace. As he looked out over the city, he noticed a woman of unusual beauty taking a bath. 3 He sent someone to find out who she was, and he was told, “She is Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam and the wife of Uriah the Hittite.” 4 Then David sent messengers to get her; and when she came to the palace, he slept with her. She had just completed the purification rites after having her menstrual period. Then she returned home. 5 Later, when Bathsheba discovered that she was pregnant, she sent David a message, saying, “I’m pregnant.” 6 Then David sent word to Joab: “Send me Uriah the Hittite.” So Joab sent him to David. 7 When Uriah arrived, David asked him how Joab and the army were getting along and how the war was progressing. 8 Then he told Uriah, “Go on home and relax. ” David even sent a gift to Uriah after he had left the palace. 9 But Uriah didn’t go home. He slept that night at the palace entrance with the king’s palace guard. 10 When David heard that Uriah had not gone home, he summoned him and asked, “What’s the matter? Why didn’t you go home last night after being away for so long?” 11 Uriah replied, “The Ark and the armies of Israel and Judah are living in tents, and Joab and my master’s men are camping in the open fields. How could I go home to wine and dine and sleep with my wife? I swear that I would never do such a thing.” 12 “Well, stay here today,” David told him, “and tomorrow you may return to the army.” So Uriah stayed in Jerusalem that day and the next. 13 Then David invited him to dinner and got him drunk. But even then, he couldn’t get Uriah to go home to his wife. Again he slept at the palace entrance with the king’s palace guard. 14 So the next morning David wrote a letter to Joab and gave it to Uriah to deliver.15 The letter instructed Joab, “Station Uriah on the front lines where the battle is fiercest. Then pull back so that he will be killed.” 16 So Joab assigned Uriah to a spot close to the city wall where he knew the enemy’s strongest men were fighting. 17 And when the enemy soldiers came out of the city to fight, Uriah the Hittite was killed along with several other Israelite soldiers. 2 Samuel 11:1-17 26 When Uriah’s wife heard that her husband was dead, she mourned for him.27 When the period of mourning was over, David sent for her and brought her to the palace, and she became one of his wives. Then she gave birth to a son. But the Lord was displeased with what David had done. 2 Samuel 11:26-27 12 While Absalom was offering the sacrifices, he sent for Ahithophel, one of David’s counselors who lived in Giloh. Soon many others also joined Absalom, and the conspiracy gained momentum. 2 Samuel 15:12 2 Late one afternoon, after his midday rest, David got out of bed and was walking on the roof of the palace. As he looked out over the city, he noticed a woman of unusual beauty taking a bath. 3 He sent someone to find out who she was, and he was told, “She is Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam and the wife of Uriah the Hittite.” 1 Samuel 11:2-3 8 These are the names of David’s mightiest warriors… Eliphelet son of Ahasbai from Maacah; Eliam son of Ahithophel from Giloh; 2 Samuel 23:8,34 Four Reasons we are to forgive those who abuse us and treat us unjustly: #1. Jesus tells us to. Matthew 6:9-15 #2. Unforgiveness prevents you from exercising faith in God. Mark 11:22-26 #3. Jesus said that when you fail to forgive you are literally turning yourself over to tormenting demon spirits. Matthew 18:21-35 #4. Negative emotions such as unforgiveness, resentment, rage, bitterness and resentment, though initially directed outward, will eventually be turned inward and will create depression and eventually death. https://feeds.soundcloud.com/stream/654793277-wave94-the-man-who-would-not-forgive-by-pastor-teryl-todd-july-21-2019.mp3 Mon, 22 Jul 2019 12:00:00 GMT 44:55 Spiritual Burnout - When Doing All You Can Isn’t Enough - Lesson 5: Grieving the Holy Spirit Teryl Todd Do Not Grieve the Holy Spirit 30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. 31 Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. 32 And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you. Ephesians 4:31-32 …Jesus told them this story: “A man had two sons.12 The younger son told his father, ‘I want my share of your estate now before you die.’ So his father agreed to divide his wealth between his sons. 13 “A few days later this younger son packed all his belongings and moved to a distant land, and there he wasted all his money in wild living. 14 About the time his money ran out, a great famine swept over the land, and he began to starve. 15 He persuaded a local farmer to hire him, and the man sent him into his fields to feed the pigs. 16 The young man became so hungry that even the pods he was feeding the pigs looked good to him. But no one gave him anything. 17 “When he finally came to his senses, he said to himself, ‘At home even the hired servants have food enough to spare, and here I am dying of hunger! 18 I will go home to my father and say, “Father, I have sinned against both heaven and you,19 and I am no longer worthy of being called your son. Please take me on as a hired servant.”’ 20 “So he returned home to his father. And while he was still a long way off, his father saw him coming. Filled with love and compassion, he ran to his son, embraced him, and kissed him. 21 His son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against both heaven and you, and I am no longer worthy of being called your son.’ 22 “But his father said to the servants, ‘Quick! Bring the finest robe in the house and put it on him. Get a ring for his finger and sandals for his feet. 23 And kill the calf we have been fattening. We must celebrate with a feast, 24 for this son of mine was dead and has now returned to life. He was lost, but now he is found.’ So the party began. 25 “Meanwhile, the older son was in the fields working. When he returned home, he heard music and dancing in the house, 26 and he asked one of the servants what was going on. 27 ‘Your brother is back,’ he was told, ‘and your father has killed the fattened calf. We are celebrating because of his safe return.’ 28 “The older brother was angry and wouldn’t go in. His father came out and begged him, 29 but he replied, ‘All these years I’ve slaved for you and never once refused to do a single thing you told me to. And in all that time you never gave me even one young goat for a feast with my friends. 30 Yet when this son of yours comes back after squandering your money on prostitutes, you celebrate by killing the fattened calf!’ 31 “His father said to him, ‘Look, dear son, you have always stayed by me, and everything I have is yours. 32 We had to celebrate this happy day. For your brother was dead and has come back to life! He was lost, but now he is found!’” Luke 15:11-31 NLT https://feeds.soundcloud.com/stream/658580744-wave94-grieving-the-holy-spirit-by-pastor-teryl-todd-july-28-2019.mp3 Mon, 29 Jul 2019 12:00:00 GMT 51:30 As We Fast and Pray – Five Prayer Points Teryl Todd Fasting and Prayer “During the third year of King Jehoiakim’s reign in Judah, King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon came to Jerusalem and besieged it. 2 The Lord gave him victory over King Jehoiakim of Judah and permitted him to take some of the sacred objects from the Temple of God. So Nebuchadnezzar took them back to the land of Babylonia and placed them in the treasure-house of his god.3 Then the king ordered Ashpenaz, his chief of staff, to bring to the palace some of the young men of Judah’s royal family and other noble families, who had been brought to Babylon as captives. 4 “Select only strong, healthy, and good-looking young men,” he said. “Make sure they are well versed in every branch of learning, are gifted with knowledge and good judgment, and are suited to serve in the royal palace. Train these young men in the language and literature of Babylon.” 5 The king assigned them a daily ration of food and wine from his own kitchens. They were to be trained for three years, and then they would enter the royal service. 6 Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah were four of the young men chosen, all from the tribe of Judah. 7 The chief of staff renamed them with these Babylonian names: Daniel was called Belteshazzar. Hananiah was called Shadrach. Mishael was called Meshach. Azariah was called Abednego. 8 But Daniel was determined not to defile himself by eating the food and wine given to them by the king. He asked the chief of staff for permission not to eat these unacceptable foods. 9 Now God had given the chief of staff both respect and affection for Daniel. 10 But he responded, “I am afraid of my lord the king, who has ordered that you eat this food and wine. If you become pale and thin compared to the other youths your age, I am afraid the king will have me beheaded.” 11 Daniel spoke with the attendant who had been appointed by the chief of staff to look after Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. 12 “Please test us for ten days on a diet of vegetables and water,” Daniel said. 13 “At the end of the ten days, see how we look compared to the other young men who are eating the king’s food. Then make your decision in light of what you see.” 14 The attendant agreed to Daniel’s suggestion and tested them for ten days. 15 At the end of the ten days, Daniel and his three friends looked healthier and better nourished than the young men who had been eating the food assigned by the king. 16 So after that, the attendant fed them only vegetables instead of the food and wine provided for the others. 17 God gave these four young men an unusual aptitude for understanding every aspect of literature and wisdom. And God gave Daniel the special ability to interpret the meanings of visions and dreams. 18 When the training period ordered by the king was completed, the chief of staff brought all the young men to King Nebuchadnezzar. 19 The king talked with them, and no one impressed him as much as Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. So they entered the royal service. 20 Whenever the king consulted them in any matter requiring wisdom and balanced judgment, he found them ten times more capable than any of the magicians and enchanters in his entire kingdom.

And when he saw Him, he fell at His feet 23 and begged Him earnestly, saying, “My little daughter lies at the point of death. Come and lay Your hands on her, that she may be healed, and she will live.” 24 So Jesus went with him, and a great multitude followed Him and thronged Him. 25 Now a certain woman had a flow of blood for twelve years, 26 and had suffered many things from many physicians. She had spent all that she had and was no better, but rather grew worse. 27 When she heard about Jesus, she came behind Him in the crowd and touched His garment. 28 For she said, “If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well.” 29 Immediately the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of the affliction. 30 And Jesus, immediately knowing in Himself that power had gone out of Him, turned around in the crowd and said, “Who touched My clothes?” 31 But His disciples said to Him, “You see the multitude thronging You, and You say, ‘Who touched Me?’” 32 And He looked around to see her who had done this thing. 33 But the woman, fearing and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down before Him and told Him the whole truth. 34 And He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well.

But though Naaman was a mighty warrior, he suffered from leprosy. 2 At this time Aramean raiders had invaded the land of Israel, and among their captives was a young girl who had been given to Naaman’s wife as a maid. 3 One day the girl said to her mistress, “I wish my master would go to see the prophet in Samaria. He would heal him of his leprosy.” 4 So Naaman told the king what the young girl from Israel had said. 5 “Go and visit the prophet,” the king of Aram told him. “I will send a letter of introduction for you to take to the king of Israel.” So Naaman started out, carrying as gifts 750 pounds of silver, 150 pounds of gold, and ten sets of clothing. 6 The letter to the king of Israel said: “With this letter I present my servant Naaman. I want you to heal him of his leprosy.” 7 When the king of Israel read the letter, he tore his clothes in dismay and said, “Am I God, that I can give life and take it away? Why is this man asking me to heal someone with leprosy? I can see that he’s just trying to pick a fight with me.” 8 But when Elisha, the man of God, heard that the king of Israel had torn his clothes in dismay, he sent this message to him: “Why are you so upset? Send Naaman to me, and he will learn that there is a true prophet here in Israel.” 9 So Naaman went with his horses and chariots and waited at the door of Elisha’s house. 10 But Elisha sent a messenger out to him with this message: “Go and wash yourself seven times in the Jordan River. Then your skin will be restored, and you will be healed of your leprosy.” 11 But Naaman became angry and stalked away. “I thought he would certainly come out to meet me!” he said. “I expected him to wave his hand over the leprosy and call on the name of the Lord his God and heal me! 12 Aren’t the rivers of Damascus, the Abana and the Pharpar, better than any of the rivers of Israel? Why shouldn’t I wash in them and be healed?” So Naaman turned and went away in a rage. 13 But his officers tried to reason with him and said, “Sir, if the prophet had told you to do something very difficult, wouldn’t you have done it? So you should certainly obey him when he says simply, ‘Go and wash and be cured!’” 14 So Naaman went down to the Jordan River and dipped himself seven times, as the man of God had instructed him. And his skin became as healthy as the skin of a young child, and he was healed! 15 Then Naaman and his entire party went back to find the man of God. They stood before him, and Naaman said, “Now I know that there is no God in all the world except in Israel. So please accept a gift from your servant.” 16 But Elisha replied, “As surely as the Lord lives, whom I serve, I will not accept any gifts.” And though Naaman urged him to take the gift, Elisha refused. 2 Kings 5:1-16 NLT https://feeds.soundcloud.com/stream/671753423-wave94-naamans-miracle-healing-and-miracles-part-2-by-pastor-teryl-todd.mp3 Mon, 26 Aug 2019 12:00:00 GMT 42:10 An Unlikely Candidate by Nex Gen Pastor Zach Barnes Teryl Todd Miracles Text: Acts 9:3-5 3 As he neared Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him. 4 He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?” 5 “Who are you, Lord?” Saul asked. “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,” he replied. 6 “Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.” His miracle was on the other side of his obedience. Acts 9:10-12 10 In Damascus there was a disciple named Ananias. The Lord called to him in a vision, “Ananias!” “Yes, Lord,” he answered. 11 The Lord told him, “Go to the house of Judas on Straight Street and ask for a man from Tarsus named Saul, for he is praying. 12 In a vision he has seen a man named Ananias come and place his hands on him to restore his sight.” Acts 9:13-16 13 “Lord,” Ananias answered, “I have heard many reports about this man and all the harm he has done to your holy people in Jerusalem. 14 And he has come here with authority from the chief priests to arrest all who call on your name.” 15 But the Lord said to Ananias, “Go! This man is my chosen instrument to proclaim my name to the Gentiles and their kings and to the people of Israel. 16 I will show him how much he must suffer for my name.” Acts 9:17-19 17 Then Ananias went to the house and entered it. Placing his hands on Saul, he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord—Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you were coming here—has sent me so that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit.” 18 Immediately, something like scales fell from Saul’s eyes, and he could see again. He got up and was baptized, 19 and after taking some food, he regained his strength. 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. Romans 3:23-24 8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23 9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. Romans 10:9-10 13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” Romans 10:13 Main Point: We are all unlikely candidates for God’s Grace. https://feeds.soundcloud.com/stream/675618860-wave94-final-2019-09-01-9-1-19-zach.mp3 Mon, 02 Sep 2019 12:00:00 GMT 39:55 Jairus’ Miracle - Healing and Miracles Part 3 Teryl Todd Miracles “Jairus’ Miracle” 21 Now when Jesus had crossed over again by boat to the other side, a great multitude gathered to Him; and He was by the sea. 22 And behold, one of the rulers of the synagogue came, Jairus by name. And when he saw Him, he fell at His feet 23 and begged Him earnestly, saying, “My little daughter lies at the point of death. Come and lay Your hands on her, that she may be healed, and she will live.” 24 So Jesus went with him, and a great multitude followed Him and thronged Him. Mark 5:21-24 34 And He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be healed of your affliction.” 35 While He was still speaking, some came from the ruler of the synagogue’s house who said, “Your daughter is dead. Why trouble the Teacher any further?” 36 As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, He said to the ruler of the synagogue, “Do not be afraid; only believe.” Mark 5:34-36 Six Major Fears: 1) Fear of Failure 2) Fear of Rejection 3) Fear of Not Having Enough 4) Fear of Bad Things Happening To Your Family 5) Fear about your Health 6) Fear of Death “Without faith it is impossible to please God.” Hebrews 11:6 GOD DOESN’T LIVE IN THE SAFE ZONE. GOD LIVES IN THE FAITH ZONE. 37 And He permitted no one to follow Him except Peter, James, and John the brother of James. 38 Then He came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and saw a tumult and those who wept and wailed loudly. 39 When He came in, He said to them, “Why make this commotion and weep? The child is not dead, but sleeping.” 40 And they ridiculed Him. But when He had put them all outside, He took the father and the mother of the child, and those who were with Him, and entered where the child was lying. 41 Then He took the child by the hand, and said to her, “Talitha, cumi,” which is translated, “Little girl, I say to you, arise.” 42 Immediately the girl arose and walked, for she was twelve years of age. And they were overcome with great amazement. 43 But He commanded them strictly that no one should know it, and said that something should be given her to eat. Mark 5:37-43 NKJV “When facing great challenges, do not permit your lips to speak unbelieving words. Prohibit demoralizing speech from your lips. Words can bind up or set free… We cannot help what we see and hear, but our refusal to speak doubt and fear will keep our hearts more inclined to what God can do, rather than to what we cannot do.” -Roy Hicks, Sr. (SFLB, p. 285) https://feeds.soundcloud.com/stream/678540372-wave94-jairus-miracle-healing-and-miracles-part-2-by-pastor-teryl-todd.mp3 Mon, 09 Sep 2019 12:00:00 GMT 48:32 Choices - Choosing Jesus on Our Journey by Terri Hill Teryl Todd Choices Every single one of us is on a Journey. We have just come out of something, in the middle of something or heading into something. One of the things I have learned is the importance of keeping Jesus right in the middle of our journey, our story, our choices, our decisions, our thought life, our attitude, our habits, our families, work, etc. Psalm 32:8 (AMP) I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you [who are willing to learn] with My eye upon you. Question - Are we willing to choose Jesus over our understanding? John 3:30 He must increase, but I must decrease. We must humble ourselves, stay teachable, yielding, surrendering to the Holy Spirit. When we make the CHOICE to choose Jesus to be in the center of our Journey we can boldly say… Hebrews 13:6 “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me? Psalm 46:1 NIV God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in times of trouble. Isaiah 40:31 NIV But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. James 1:5 NIV If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. 1 Thessalonians 5:24 NASB Faithful is He who calls you, and He also will bring it to pass. Isaiah 41:10 NIV So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Matthew 6:25-34 25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life? 28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? 31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Proverbs 3:5-12 MSG Trust God from the bottom of your heart; don’t try to figure out everything on your own. Listen for God’s voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; he’s the one who will keep you on track. Don’t assume that you know it all. Run to God! Run from evil! Your body will glow with health, your very bones will vibrate with life! Honor God with everything you own; give him the first and the best. Your barns will burst, your wine vats will brim over. We have a choice every single day to let God’s word, promises be bigger than our problems. DON’T ROCK YOUR BOAT I think about a choice the disciples made in Mark Chapter 4 Mark 4:35-41 35 On the same day, when evening had come, He said to them, “Let us cross over to the other side.” 36 Now when they had left the multitude, they took Him along in the boat as He was. And other little boats were also with Him. 37 And a great windstorm arose, and the waves beat into the boat so that it was already filling. 38 But He was in the stern, asleep on a pillow. And they awoke Him and said to Him, “Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?” 39 Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace, be still!” And the wind ceased and there was a great calm. 40 But He said to them, “Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have no faith?” 41 And they feared exceedingly, and said to one another, “Who can this be, that even the wind and the sea obey Him!” How different would their journey have been if they chose to just go and be close to Jesus? Sit with Him through the storm. John 16: 33 “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world, you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”Scripture. In this world, you will have trouble but take heart I have overcome the world. Conclusion: David had a choice to kill Goliath ~ He did not back down but ran towards Goliath. Ruth could have chosen to go back to her family but she made a choice to stay with Naomi and choose God. Sampson made a choice to be with Delilah and allow lust to keep him from fulfilling his destiny. Jonah chose to run from God and found himself in the belly of a whale for three days. There are so many stories in the bible of men and women who made choices that changed their destiny. Today… Choose to praise God in the storms. Choose to stay in an attitude of thankfulness towards God! Choose to not give in to the fear/anxiety/worry that wants to camp at your door. Choose to make GOD BIGGER than your Problem. Choose to walk in the Spirit ~ Galatians 5:16-26 Make the choice today to put Jesus right in the middle of your Journey. https://feeds.soundcloud.com/stream/681993059-wave94-choices-choosing-jesus-on-our-journey-by-terri-hill.mp3 Mon, 16 Sep 2019 12:00:00 GMT 35:44 Turning Impossible Situations Around - Healing and Miracles Part 4 Teryl Todd Choices “If You can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.” Mark 9:22 Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.” Mark 9:23 1In those days Hezekiah was sick and near death. And Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, went to him and said to him, “Thus says the Lord: ‘Set your house in order, for you shall die and not live.’” 2Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and prayed to the Lord, 3and said, “Remember now, O Lord, I pray, how I have walked before You in truth and with a loyal heart, and have done what is good in Your sight.” And Hezekiah wept bitterly. 4And the word of the Lord came to Isaiah, saying, 5“Go and tell Hezekiah, ‘Thus says the Lord, the God of David your father: “I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears; surely I will add to your days fifteen years. Isaiah 38:1-5 6 And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the Lord his God. 1 Samuel 30:6 NKJV 20 Now when neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no small tempest beat on us, all hope that we would be saved was finally given up... 21 But after long abstinence from food, then Paul stood in the midst of them and said… 22 And now I urge you to take heart, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship. 23 For there stood by me this night an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I serve, 24 saying, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul; you must be brought before Caesar; and indeed God has granted you all those who sail with you.’ 25 Therefore take heart, men, for I believe God that it will be just as it was told me. Acts 27:20-25 3and said, “Remember now, O Lord, I pray, how I have walked before You in truth and with a loyal heart, and have done what is good in Your sight.” And Hezekiah wept bitterly. Isaiah 38:3 7But the Lord said to Samuel “Do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature, because I have refused him. For the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” 1 Samuel 16:7 NKJV 4And the word of the Lord came to Isaiah, saying, 5“Go and tell Hezekiah, ‘Thus says the Lord, the God of David your father: “I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears; surely I will add to your days fifteen years.

Money Is Actually A Test From God - How You Handle Money Reveals Volumes About Your Priorities, Loyalties, and Affections. 21For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Matthew 6:21 10“Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much. 11So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches? 12And if you have not been trustworthy with someone else’s property, who will give you property of your own? Luke 16:10-12 NIV #2. God Wants To Be First In Your Life. A. When God is First: 1) You Will Have A HEART For God. 7 Husbands, likewise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honor to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered. 1 Peter 3:7 NKJV 2) You Will Make TIME For God. 3) You Will Seek Out Opportunities To SERVE 10 As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. 1 Peter 4:10 4) You Will Honor God With Your TREASURE. 1Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2“Consecrate to Me all the firstborn, whatever opens the womb among the children of Israel, both of man and beast; it is Mine.” Exodus 13:1-2 12that you shall set apart to the Lord all that open the womb, that is, every firstborn that comes from an animal which you have; the males shall be the Lord’s. 13But every firstborn of a donkey you shall redeem with a lamb; and if you will not redeem it, then you shall break its neck. And all the firstborn of man among your sons you shall redeem. Exodus 13:12-13 29For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. Romans 8:29 19The first of the firstfruits of your land you shall bring into the house of the Lord your God. Exodus 23:19 9 Honor the Lord with your possessions, And with the firstfruits of all your increase; 10 So your barns will be filled with plenty, And your vats will overflow with new wine. Proverbs 3:9-10 “Will a man rob God? Yet you have robbed Me! But you say, ‘In what way have we robbed You?’ In tithes and offerings. 9 You are cursed with a curse, For you have robbed Me, Even this whole nation.

How You Handle Money Impacts The Closeness Of Your Relationship With Jesus. 11 So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches? Luke 16:11 NIV #2. Money Is The Primary Competitor With God For Our Affection. Jesus said we would love and serve – one or the other. 24 ‘No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money. Matthew 6:24 NIV #3. God Wants Us To Handle Money Wisely. #4. God Owns All Your Possessions. The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it; Psalms 24:1 … The land is Mine and you reside in My land as foreigners and strangers. Leviticus 25:23 8 “The silver is Mine and the gold is Mine,” declares the Lord Almighty. Haggai 2:8 For every animal of the forest is Mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills. 11 I know every bird in the mountains, and the insects in the fields are Mine. 12 If I were hungry I would not tell you, for the world is Mine, and all that is in it. Psalms 50:10-12 #5. God Is Ultimately In Control. 5 And now, do not be distressed and do not be angry with yourselves for selling me here, because it was to save lives that God sent me ahead of you… 8 “So then, it was not you who sent me here, but God. He made me father to Pharaoh, lord of his entire household and ruler of all Egypt. Genesis 45:5,8 NIV 20 You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives. Genesis 50:20 NIV #6. God Is Our Provider – He is Jehovah Jireh #7. Jesus Is Lord Of The Universe Lift up your eyes and look to the heavens: Who created all these? He who brings out the starry host one by one and calls forth each of them by name. Because of his great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing.

Then He said to His disciples, “Make them sit down in groups of fifty.” 15And they did so, and made them all sit down. 16Then He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed and broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the multitude. 17So they all ate and were filled, and twelve baskets of the leftover fragments were taken up by them. Luke 9:12-17 NKJV Three Takeaways:  #1. All Of Us Have The Tendency To Want To Figure Out In Advance How God Is Going To Provide For Our Needs. We’re Usually Wrong.  #2.  The Miracle Didn’t Take Place In Jesus’ Hands – It Happened In The Hands Of The Disciples!  15 “…Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. 16He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. 17And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; 18they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.” Mark 16:15-18 #3. Something Must Be Blessed Before It Can Supernaturally Multiply. 8Here mortal men receive tithes, but there He receives them, of whom it is witnessed that He lives. Hebrews 7:8 30And all the tithe… is the Lord’s. It is holy to the Lord. Leviticus 27:30  “Will a man rob God?  Yet you have robbed Me! But you say,  ‘In what way have we robbed You?’  In tithes and offerings.

Mark 2:1 NIV 23 When the soldiers crucified Jesus, they took his clothes, dividing them into four shares, one for each of them, with the undergarment remaining. This garment was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom. 24 “Let’s not tear it,” they said to one another. “Let’s decide by lot who will get it.” John 19:23-24 NIV “Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold.” Genesis 13:2 NKJV 3 “And now, because of my devotion to the Temple of my God, I am giving all of my own private treasures of gold and silver to help in the construction… 4 I am donating more than 112 tons of gold… and 262 tons of refined silver to be used for overlaying the walls of the buildings. 1 Chron. 29:3-5 NLT 6 We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; 7 if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; 8 if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully. Romans 12:6-8 NIV Myth #2 - There is a relationship between money and happiness. 17 Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. 1 Timothy 6:17 Myth #3 - To Be Wealthy Is A Sin. Myth #4 - Money Is The Root Of All Evil. 10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs. 1 Timothy 6:10 NIV “If I have put my trust in gold or said to pure gold, ‘You are my security,’ 25 if I have rejoiced over my great wealth, the fortune my hands had gained, 28 then these also would be sins to be judged, for I would have been unfaithful to God on high. Job 31:24-25, 28 Those who trust in their riches will fall, Proverbs 11:28 https://feeds.soundcloud.com/stream/703502407-wave94-four-myths-about-money-the-blessed-life-part-4-by-pastor-teryl-todd.mp3 Mon, 28 Oct 2019 12:00:00 GMT 53:07 Living Out Of The Goodness of The Master - The Blessed Life Part 5 Teryl Todd God's Blessings 14 “For the kingdom of heaven is like a man traveling to a far country, who called his own servants and delivered his goods to them. 15 And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, to each according to his own ability; and immediately he went on a journey. 16 Then he who had received the five talents went and traded with them, and made another five talents. 17 And likewise he who had received two gained two more also. 18 But he who had received one went and dug in the ground, and hid his lord’s money. 19 After a long time the lord of those servants came and settled accounts with them. 20 “So he who had received five talents came and brought five other talents, saying, ‘Lord, you delivered to me five talents; look, I have gained five more talents besides them.’ 21 His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’ 22 He also who had received two talents came and said, ‘Lord, you delivered to me two talents; look, I have gained two more talents besides them.’ 23 His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’ 24 “Then he who had received the one talent came and said, ‘Lord, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you have not sown, and gathering where you have not scattered seed. 25 And I was afraid, and went and hid your talent in the ground. Look, there you have what is yours.’ 26 “But his lord answered and said to him, ‘You wicked and lazy servant, you knew that I reap where I have not sown, and gather where I have not scattered seed.27 So you ought to have deposited my money with the bankers, and at my coming I would have received back my own with interest. 28 So take the talent from him, and give it to him who has ten talents. 29 ‘For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away. 30 And cast the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’ Matthew 25:14-29 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “Send men to spy out the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the children of Israel; from each tribe of their fathers you shall send a man, every one a leader among them.” Numbers 13:1 27 Then they told him, and said: “We went to the land where you sent us. It truly flows with milk and honey, and this is its fruit. 28 Nevertheless the people who dwell in the land are strong; the cities are fortified and very large; moreover we saw the descendants of Anak there. 29 The Amalekites dwell in the land of the South; the Hittites, the Jebusites, and the Amorites dwell in the mountains; and the Canaanites dwell by the sea and along the banks of the Jordan.” 30 Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, “Let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome it.” 31 But the men who had gone up with him said, “We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we.” 32 And they gave the children of Israel a bad report of the land which they had spied out, saying, “The land through which we have gone as spies is a land that devours its inhabitants, and all the people whom we saw in it are men of great stature. 33 There we saw the giants (the descendants of Anak came from the giants); and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight.” Numbers 13:27-33 You are good, and do good; teach me Your statutes. Ps. 119:68 “He saved us and called us according to his good purpose.” 2 Timothy 1:9 https://feeds.soundcloud.com/stream/707975686-wave94-living-out-of-the-goodness-of-the-master-by-pastor-teryl-todd-nov-3-2019.mp3 Mon, 04 Nov 2019 12:00:00 GMT 51:51 The Spirit of Mammon - The Blessed Life Part 6 Teryl Todd God's Blessings 24“No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon. Matthew 6:24 17Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked— 18I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see. Revelation 3:17-18 17 Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. 1 Timothy 6:17 NIV 11 “Beware that you do not forget the Lord your God by not keeping His commandments, His judgments, and His statutes which I command you today, 12 lest—when you have eaten and are full, and have built beautiful houses and dwell in them; 13 and when your herds and your flocks multiply, and your silver and your gold are multiplied, and all that you have is multiplied; 17 then you say in your heart, ‘My power and the might of my hand have gained me this wealth.’ 18 “And you shall remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day. Deuteronomy 8:11-13, 17-18 24“No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon. Matthew 6:24 16He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 17and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Revelation 13:16-17 10For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. 1 Timothy 6:10 9“And I say to you, make friends for yourselves by unrighteous mammon, that when you fail, they may receive you into an everlasting home.

Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. 38Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.” Luke 6:36-38 7“If there is among you a poor man of your brethren, within any of the gates in your land which the Lord your God is giving you, you shall not harden your heart nor shut your hand from your poor brother, 8but you shall open your hand wide to him and willingly lend him sufficient for his need, whatever he needs. 9Beware lest there be a wicked thought in your heart, saying, ‘The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand,’ and your eye be evil against your poor brother and you give him nothing, and he cry out to the Lord against you, and it become sin among you. 10You shall surely give to him, and your heart should not be grieved when you give to him, because for this thing the Lord your God will bless you in all your works and in all to which you put your hand. 11For the poor will never cease from the land; therefore I command you, saying, ‘You shall open your hand wide to your brother, to your poor and your needy, in your land.’ 12“If your brother, a Hebrew man, or a Hebrew woman, is sold to you and serves you six years, then in the seventh year you shall let him go free from you. 13And when you send him away free from you, you shall not let him go away empty-handed; 14you shall supply him liberally from your flock, from your threshing floor, and from your winepress. From what the Lord has blessed you with, you shall give to him. 15You shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God redeemed you; therefore I command you this thing today.

And he was a Samaritan. Luke 17:11-16 Bless the Lord, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name! Bless the Lord, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases,Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies, Who satisfies your mouth with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s... For as the heavens are high above the earth, So great is His mercy toward those who fear Him; As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our transgressions from us. Psalms 103:1-5, 11-12 Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name. Hebrews 13:15 22Then the multitude rose up together against them; and the magistrates tore off their clothes and commanded them to be beaten with rods. 23And when they had laid many stripes on them, they threw them into prison, commanding the jailer to keep them securely. 24Having received such a charge, he put them into the inner prison and fastened their feet in the stocks. 25But at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them. 26Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone’s chains were loosed. Acts 16:22-36 “Sing, O barren, You who have not borne! Break forth into singing, and cry aloud, You who have not labored with child! For more are the children of the desolate Than the children of the married woman,” says the Lord. “Enlarge the place of your tent, And let them stretch out the curtains of your dwellings; Do not spare; Lengthen your cords,And strengthen your stakes. For you shall expand to the right and to the left, And your descendants will inherit the nations, And make the desolate cities inhabited. Isaiah 54:1-3 17So Jesus answered and said, “Were there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine? 18Were there not any found who returned to give glory to God except this foreigner?” And He said to him, “Arise, go your way. Your faith has made you well.” Luke 17:17-19 https://feeds.soundcloud.com/stream/718821031-wave94-giving-thanks-by-pastor-teryl-todd-on-nov-24-2019.mp3 Mon, 25 Nov 2019 12:00:00 GMT 46:54 Guest Speaker Zach Barnes - Next Generation Pastor Teryl Todd God's Blessings A.W Tozer says, What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.” Matthew 1:21-23-She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus,[f] because he will save his people from their sins.” 22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: 23 “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” (which means “God with us”). John 1:14a The Word became flesh and blood, and moved into the neighborhood. John 1:1- In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Jesus the Word of God. Colossians 1:15-16: Christ is the visible image of the invisible God. He existed before anything was created and is supreme over all creation,[e] 16 for through him God created everything in the heavenly realms and on earth. He made the things we can see and the things we can’t see— such as thrones, kingdoms, rulers, and authorities in the unseen world. Everything was created through him and for him. Hebrews 1:3- Jesus is the prefect expression of God’s character. The Son radiates God’s own glory and expresses the very character of God, and he sustains everything by the mighty power of his command. John 14:6-9 6 Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me. 7 If you had really known me, you would know who my Father is.[c] From now on, you do know him and have seen him!” 8 Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father, and we will be satisfied.” 9 Jesus replied, “Have I been with you all this time, Philip, and yet you still don’t know who I am? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father! So why are you asking me to show him to you? https://feeds.soundcloud.com/stream/721759414-wave94-final-2019-12-01-zach-12-1-19.mp3 Mon, 02 Dec 2019 12:00:00 GMT 40:18 The Gift of Giving - Hope for the Holidays Lesson 1 Teryl Todd Christmas Series 16 For God so loved the world that He GAVE His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16 6Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, let us prophesy in proportion to our faith; 7or ministry, let us use it in our ministering; he who teaches, in teaching; 8he who exhorts, in exhortation; he who GIVES, with liberality; he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness. Romans 12:6-8 v. 6 – “Prophecy” - You declare an insight of the Holy Spirit resulting in edification, exhortation and comfort to others (1 Cor. 14:3). v. 7 – “Ministry” (Serving/Helps) – Enjoy meeting needs on a practical basis. v. 7 – “Teaching” – Enjoy searching out and presenting Scriptural truths. v. 8 – “Exhortation” (Encouragement) – admonishes and encourages others (Barnabas) v. 8 – “Giving” – Enjoys meeting material needs, often through finances (Barnabas) v. 8 - “Leading” (Administration) – Effective in organizing and leading others in a task. v. 8 – “Mercy” – Empathize and show compassion to others. 9 Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good. 10 Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another; 11 not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; 12 rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer; 13 distributing to the needs of the saints, given to hospitality. 14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. 15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. Romans 12:9-15 NKJV #1. God Can Use People You Don’t Know To Bless You. #2. God Can Take Care Of Your Tomorrow’s. Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem, 2 saying, “Where is He who has been born King of the Jews?

Because Joseph her husband was faithful to the law, and yet did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly. But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.” All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” (which means “God with us”).” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭1:18-23‬ ‭NIV‬‬ https://feeds.soundcloud.com/stream/728821915-wave94-zach.mp3 Mon, 16 Dec 2019 12:00:00 GMT 16:51 Making Bad Decisions At Christmastime Teryl Todd Christmas Series When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy. 11And when they had come into the house, they saw the young Child with Mary His mother, and fell down and worshiped Him.

And Joseph and His mother did not know it. Luke 2:39-43 44 but supposing Him to have been in the company, they went a day’s journey, and sought Him among their relatives and acquaintances. Luke 2:44 45 So when they did not find Him, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking Him. 46 Now so it was that after three days they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions. 47 And all who heard Him were astonished at His understanding and answers. Matthew 2:45-47 48 So when they saw Him, they were amazed; and His mother said to Him, “Son, why have You done this to us? Look, Your father and I have sought You anxiously.” 49 And He said to them, “Why did you seek Me? Did you not know that I must be about My Father’s business?” 50 But they did not understand the statement which He spoke to them.

Main Idea: When we pray and fast we make room for God’s presence in our life. 5 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. 8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him. Matthew 6:5-8 “When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do, for they disfigure their faces to show others they are fasting. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 17 But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, 18 so that it will not be obvious to others that you are fasting, but only to your Father, who is unseen; and your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. Matthew 6:16-18 Takeaway: When we pray and fast we make room for God’s presence in our life. Prayer and Fasting don’t change God’s character, but can change ours. Prayer and Fasting are not about religious performance, but humility of our hearts. https://feeds.soundcloud.com/stream/739370278-wave94-fasting-makes-room-for-gods-presence-in-our-life-by-pastor-zach-barnes.mp3 Mon, 06 Jan 2020 12:00:00 GMT 39:36 Three Big Mountain Movers Teryl Todd Happy New Year!

Opportunities will come. Pray to be ready when they come.” – Edwin Louis Cole 31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? Romans 8:31 36 For you have need of endurance (patience), so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise. Heb. 10:36 “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters” Colossians 3:23 NIV Choose my instruction instead of silver, knowledge rather than choice gold.

Spiritually Blind Carnally Minded Rom. 8:6 Spiritual Minded Rom. 8:6 2 Tim. 1:7 1 Cor. 2:16 Rom. 12:1-2 Isa. 26:3 2 Cor. 10:3-5 Isaiah 6:1-8 (NIV) In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord, high and exalted, seated on a throne; and the train of his robe filled the temple. 2 Above him were seraphim, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying. 3 And they were calling to one another: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory.” 4 At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook and the temple was filled with smoke. 5 “Woe to me!” I cried. “I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the Lord Almighty.” 6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar. 7 With it he touched my mouth and said, “See, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for.”8 Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” And I said,” Here am I. Send me!” Three lessons: 1. When your SPIRITUAL VISION improves, your life improves. • (1) Feelings. • (2) Actions. • (3) Decisions and direction. • (4) Attitudes. • (5) Values and priorities. Luke 11:34 (NIV) - Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eyes are healthy, your whole body also is full of light. But when they are unhealthy, your body also is full of darkness. Proverbs 29:18 (KJV) - Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he. Proverbs 29:18 (GW) - Without prophetic vision people run wild, but blessed are those who follow God’s teachings. • (1) You? • (2) Approval of others? • (3) Material things? • (4) Pursuing pleasure, fun, partying, etc.? • (5) Personal dreams? • (6) Problems and pain? • (7) Past baggage? Fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:2 (NIV) Therefore if you have been raised with Christ [to a new life, sharing in His resurrection from the dead], keep seeking the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your mind and keep focused habitually on the things above [the heavenly things], not on things that are on the earth [which have only temporal value]. 3 For you died [to this world], and your [new, real] life is hidden with Christ in God. Colossians 3:1-3 (Amp) 17 For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:17-18 NIV 2. When God gets your ATTENTION, He improves your vision. In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord, high and exalted, seated on a throne; and the train of his robe filled the temple. Isaiah 6:1 (NIV) Acts 9:3-9 (NIV) - As he neared Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him. 4 He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?” 5 “Who are you, Lord?” Saul asked. “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,” he replied. 6 “Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.” 7 The men traveling with Saul stood there speechless; they heard the sound but did not see anyone. 8 Saul got up from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he could see nothing. So they led him by the hand into Damascus. 9 For three days he was blind, and did not eat or drink anything. 3. God requests your attention, but you’re responsible for the RESPONSE. Genesis 19:12-17 (NIV) - The two men said to Lot, “Do you have anyone else here — sons-in-law, sons or daughters, or anyone else in the city who belongs to you? Get them out of here, 13 because we are going to destroy this place. The outcry to the Lord against its people is so great that he has sent us to destroy it.” 14 So Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law, who were pledged to marry his daughters. He said, “Hurry and get out of this place, because the Lord is about to destroy the city!” But his sons-in-law thought he was joking. 15 With the coming of dawn, the angels urged Lot, saying, “Hurry! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, or you will be swept away when the city is punished.” 16 When he hesitated, the men grasped his hand and the hands of his wife and of his two daughters and led them safely out of the city, for the Lord was merciful to them. 17 As soon as they had brought them out, one of them said, “Flee for your lives! Don’t look back, and don’t stop anywhere in the plain! Flee to the mountains or you will be swept away!” Genesis 19:23-26 (NIV) - By the time Lot reached Zoar, the sun had risen over the land. 24 Then the Lord rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah — from the Lord out of the heavens. 25 Thus he overthrew those cities and the entire plain, destroying all those living in the cities — and also the vegetation in the land. 26 But Lot’s wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt. “Remember Lot’s wife!” Luke 17:32 (NIV) https://feeds.soundcloud.com/stream/754463998-wave94-paying-attention-to-god-vision-for-2020-lesson-1-by-pastor-teryl-todd.mp3 Mon, 03 Feb 2020 12:00:00 GMT 44:26 Seeing God - Vision for 2020 Lesson 2 Teryl Todd 2020 is your year to walk with God closer than ever! “You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You.” Isaiah 26:3 “As a man thinks in his heart, so is he…” Prov. 27:3 Focus on Problems/Worry Focus on God’s Word Think About Themselves Look To Jesus Meditate On Heartache Acknowledge The Holy Spirit - The Helper *NOTE: SCRIPTURE Below IS FROM NKJV In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the temple. 2 Above it stood seraphim; each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. 3 And one cried to another and said: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; The whole earth is full of His glory!” 4 And the posts of the door were shaken by the voice of him who cried out, and the house was filled with smoke. 5 So I said: “Woe is me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips, And I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; For my eyes have seen the King, The Lord of hosts.”6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a live coal which he had taken with the tongs from the altar. 7 And he touched my mouth with it, and said: “Behold, this has touched your lips; Your iniquity is taken away, And your sin purged.” 8 Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: “Whom shall I send, And who will go for Us?” Then I said, “Here am I! Send me.” Isaiah 6:1-8 NKJV SEVEN Important Things We Need To See About God: 1. (v.1.) To See That GOD’S THRONE IS HIGH and LIFTED UP. 2. (v.1-3) To See The HOLINESS Of God. 3. (v.1-4) We Need To See God’s GLORY. In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the temple. 2 Above it stood seraphim; each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. 3 And one cried to another and said: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; The whole earth is full of His glory!” 4 And the posts of the door were shaken by the voice of him who cried out, and the house was filled with smoke. Isaiah 6:1-4 NKJV The Glory of God Is The: (1) Impact of His PRESENCE. (2) Purity of His CHARACTER. Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name; bring an offering and come before him. Worship the Lord in the splendor of his holiness. 1 Chronicles 16:29 (NIV) (3) SUPREMACY of His being. Among the gods there is none like you, Lord; no deeds can compare with yours. Psalms 86:8P (4) Greatness of His ABILITY. Lift up your heads, you gates; be lifted up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in. 8 Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle. Psalms 24:7-8 (5) Splendor of His LIGHT. The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp. Revelation 21:23 (6) GOODNESS of His nature. Then Moses said, ”Now show me your glory.” 19 And the Lord said, ”I will cause all my goodness to pass in front of you, and I will proclaim my name, the Lord, in your presence. I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. Exodus 33:18-19 (7) God’s Glory Is Personified In Jesus Christ – John 1:14 4.

In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the temple. 2 Above it stood seraphim; each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. 3 And one cried to another and said: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; The whole earth is full of His glory!” 4 And the posts of the door were shaken by the voice of him who cried out, and the house was filled with smoke. 5 So I said: “Woe is me, for I am undone!

Send me.” Isaiah 6:1-8 NKJV 4 important things about CULTURE: 1. The CULTURE you choose determines the DECISIONS you make. The “kingdom” you live in and the culture you embrace determines most of your: • (1) Perceptions (what you see). • (2) Beliefs (what you accept as true). • (3) Values (your non-negotiables… things you hold dear). • (4) Actions (behaviors). • (5) Attitudes (thought process, mindset, relationship patterns, etc.) “If you want to grow in wisdom, spend time with the wise. Walk with the wicked and you’ll eventually become just like them.” Proverbs 13:20 (TPT) The Passion Translation 2. In life, there are TWO cultural CHOICES. • (1) The kingdom of DARKNESS. • (2) The kingdom of LIGHT. The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned. Isaiah 9:2 (NIV) Leaving Nazareth, he went and lived in Capernaum, which was by the lake in the area of Zebulun and Naphtali —14 to fulfill what was said through the prophet Isaiah: 15 “Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, the Way of the Sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles — 16 the people living in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned.” 17 From that time on Jesus began to preach, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.” Matthew 4:13-17 (NIV) But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. 1 Peter 2:9 (NIV) For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light 9 (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) and find out what pleases the Lord. Ephesians 5:8-10 (NIV) 3. To transfer from darkness to light, you need to experience a NEW BIRTH and a RENEWED MIND, and Be Filled With The HOLY SPIRIT! (1) Born as sinners. For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23 (NIV) (2) Born into a sinful world. Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. 16 For everything in the world — the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life — comes not from the Father but from the world. 1 John 2:15, 16 (NIV) (3) Born into a world influenced by invisible spiritual forces of darkness. In which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. 3 All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath. Ephesians 2:2, 3 (NIV) Slide of DIAGRAM: Kingdom of Darkness and Kingdom of Light, prepared by Scott Lingerfelt 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. Romans 12:2 NKJV Since you have heard about Jesus and have learned the truth that comes from him, 22 throw off your old sinful nature and your former way of life, which is corrupted by lust and deception. Instead let the Spirit renew you thoughts and attitudes. 24 Put on your new nature, created to be like God — truly righteous and holy. Ephesians 4:21-24 (NLT) 4. When you see God’s Kingdom, you change — you begin LIVING in the LIGHT. https://feeds.soundcloud.com/stream/762211048-wave94-seeing-and-embracing-the-culture-of-gods-kingdom-vision-for-2020-lesson-3-by-pastor-teryl-todd.mp3 Mon, 17 Feb 2020 12:00:00 GMT 36:56 See Yourself - Vision for 2020 Lesson 4 Teryl Todd 2020 is your year to walk with God closer than ever! In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the temple. 2 Above it stood seraphim; each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. 3 And one cried to another and said: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; The whole earth is full of His glory!” 4 And the posts of the door were shaken by the voice of him who cried out, and the house was filled with smoke. 5 So I said: “Woe is me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips, And I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; For my eyes have seen the King, The Lord of hosts.” 6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a live coal which he had taken with the tongs from the altar. 7 And he touched my mouth with it, and said: “Behold, this has touched your lips; Your iniquity is taken away, And your sin purged.” 8 Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: “Whom shall I send, And who will go for Us?” Then I said, “Here am I! Send me.” Isaiah 6:1-8 NKJV 1. We Learn That We Should Value SELF-AWARENESS. The ability to see the condition of our own heart. So I said: “Woe is me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips, And I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; For my eyes have seen the King, The Lord of hosts.” Isaiah 6:5 (NKJV) WHEN YOU REALLY SEE JESUS, YOU WILL ALSO SEE THE CONDITION OF YOUR OWN HEART! Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. 24 See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. Psalm 139:23, 24 (NIV) 2. You Need To See Your PERSONAL SIN. It is very important that we become aware of the condition of our own heart. 4 Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness. 1 John 3:4 17 Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin. James 4:17 "Sin is any thought, action, attitude or word that is contrary to God’s nature, instructions or commands." There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death. Proverbs 16:25 When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch.” 5 Simon answered, “Master, we‘ve worked hard all night and haven’t caught anything. But because you say so, I will let down the nets.” 6 When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to break. 7 So they signaled their partners in the other boat to come and help them, and they came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink. 8 When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’ knees and said, “Go away from me, Lord; I am a sinful man!” 9 For he and all his companions were astonished at the catch of fish they had taken, 10 and so were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, Simon’s partners. Then Jesus said to Simon, “Don’t be afraid; from now on you will fish for people.” 11 So they pulled their boats up on shore, left everything and followed him. Luke 5:4-11 (NIV) So I said: “Woe is me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips, And I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; For my eyes have seen the King, The Lord of hosts.” Isaiah 6:5 (NKJV) 5 important observations about this moment in Isaiah’s life: • (1) God’s presence brings light to our sin. • (2) God shows us our sins because they hinder His plans for us. • (3) We must see our sinfulness, repent and forsake our sin before we can help others with their sinfulness. • (4) God’s conviction of our sins is always specific. • (5) God’s conviction of our sins should lead to our confession of them, and cleansing from them. Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11 The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed: “God, I thank you that I am not like other people — robbers, evildoers, adulterers — or even like this tax collector. 12 I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get.” 13 But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, “God, have mercy on me, a sinner.” 14 I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted. Luke 18:10-14 (NIV) 3. We Need a SAVIOR. 21 And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.” Matthew 1:21 You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. 7 Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. 8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:6-8 (NIV) Jesus is “the stone you builders rejected, which has become the cornerstone.” 12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved. Acts 4:11, 12 (NIV) If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9 (NIV) Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. 28 This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.” Matthew 26:27, 28 (NIV) https://feeds.soundcloud.com/stream/765930574-wave94-see-yourself-vision-for-2020-lesson-4-by-pastor-teryl-todd.mp3 Mon, 24 Feb 2020 12:00:00 GMT 40:05 God's Plan For This World Through You with Guest Speaker Rick Collins Teryl Todd 2020 is your year to walk with God closer than ever!

Revelation 3:18 (AMPLIFIED) Eleven Ways The Holy Spirit Helps Us: 1. The Holy Spirit CONVICTS Of Sin and Nudges Us To Repent and Believe On Jesus Christ! 7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you. 8 And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 9 of sin, because they do not believe in Me… John 16:7-9 (NKJV) 2. The Holy Spirit SEALS Us and Is God’s Guarantee – Down Payment On Eternity. 13 And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, 14 who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory. Ephesians 1:13-14 (NIV) 3. He EMPOWERS Us With His Presence and GIFTS. 8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” Acts 1:8 7 A spiritual gift is given to each of us so we can help each other. 1 Corinthians 12:7 (NLT) 4. The Holy Spirit Assures us That We BELONG to God’s Family. 16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. Romans 8:16 (NLT) 5. The Holy Spirit COMFORTS and ENCOURAGES Us. 26 “And I will send you the Divine Encourager from the very presence of my Father. He will come to you, the Spirit of Truth, emanating from the Father, and he will speak to you about me. John 15:26 (TPT) 6. He INSPIRES and TEACHES Us and Provides WISDOM and DIRECTION. 26 But when the Father sends the Spirit of Holiness, the One like me who sets you free, he will teach you all things in my name. And he will inspire you to remember every word that I’ve told you. John 14:26 (TPT) 17 I pray that the glorious Father, the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, would give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation as you come to know Christ better. Ephesians 1:17 (GW) 7. The Holy Spirit ENABLES Us To Love and Get Along With Others. “…we can now experience the endless love of God cascading into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who lives in us!” Romans 5:5 (TPT) As a prisoner of the Lord, I plead with you to walk holy, in a way that is suitable to your high rank, given to you in your divine calling. 2 With tender humility and quiet patience, always demonstrate gentleness and generous love toward one another, especially toward those who may try your patience. 3 Be faithful to guard the sweet harmony of the Holy Spirit among you in the bonds of peace, 4 being one body and one spirit, as you were all called into the same glorious hope of divine destiny. Ephesians 4:1-4 (TPT) 8. He Helps Us To OVERCOME Temptation and SIN 16 So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves. Galatians 5:16 NLT 9. The Holy Spirit Helps Us To PRAY. 26 And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don’t know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words. 27 And the Father who knows all hearts knows what the Spirit is saying, for the Spirit pleads for us believers in harmony with God’s own will. 28 And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. Romans 8:26-28 (NLT) 10. He Helps Us To CONQUER FEAR 7 God didn’t give us a cowardly spirit but a spirit of power, love, and good judgment. 2 Timothy 1:7 (TPT) 11. He Longs To FILL Us and Use Us For God’s Glory! 13 If you, then, being evil [that is, sinful by nature], know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask and continue to ask Him!” Luke 11:13 (AMPLIFIED) https://feeds.soundcloud.com/stream/773342299-wave94-see-the-helper-vision-for-2020-lesson-5-by-pastor-teryl-todd.mp3 Mon, 09 Mar 2020 12:00:00 GMT 37:39 How to Pray in Light of Coronavirus Teryl Todd 2020 is your year to walk with God closer than ever!

How to have a resilient, bounce-back faith. Pandemic: “pan,” meaning “all,” and “demos,” meaning “people.” A pandemic is “an epidemic of an infectious disease that spreads through populations across a large region; for instance a continent, or even worldwide.” It is a THREAT to the health and lives of a significant percentage of the world’s population. Then the officers will also say, “Is anyone here afraid or worried? If you are, you may go home before you frighten anyone else.” Deuteronomy 20:8 (NLT) 7 I was forty years old when Moses the servant of the Lord sent me from Kadesh Barnea to explore the land. And I brought him back a report according to my convictions, 8 but my fellow Israelites who went up with me made the hearts of the people melt in fear. Joshua 14:7, 8 (NIV) 6 When the Israelites saw that their situation was critical and that their army was hard pressed, they hid in caves and thickets, among the rocks, and in pits and cisterns. 7 Some Hebrews even crossed the Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead. Saul remained at Gilgal, and all the troops with him were quaking with fear. 1 Samuel 13:6, 7 (NLT) Jesus said: “In the last days… men’s hearts (will) fail them from fear…” Luke 21:26 (NKJV) 18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. (MSG-“Crippling”) 1 John 4:18 6 Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands. 7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:6, 7 (NKJV) #1. There Is A Battle Around You. #2. There Is A Battle Within You! #3. There Is Also A Gift Within You. 7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7 (NKJV) https://feeds.soundcloud.com/stream/781763164-wave94-fear-faith-covid-19-and-coronavirus-by-pastor-teryl-todd-march-23-2020.mp3 Mon, 23 Mar 2020 12:00:00 GMT 30:11 Staying Encouraged in Discouraging Times Teryl Todd 2020 is your year to walk with God closer than ever! Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we do not lose heart. 2 Corinthians 4:1 (NKJV) 8 We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed. 2 Corinthians 4:8-9 (NKJV) 13 And since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, “I believed and therefore I spoke,” we also believe and therefore speak. 2 Corinthians 4:13 (NKJV) 16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. 17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, 18 while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 (NKJV) https://feeds.soundcloud.com/stream/787001125-wave94-staying-encouraged-in-discouraging-times-by-pastor-teryl-todd.mp3 Mon, 30 Mar 2020 12:00:00 GMT 17:25 Last Sayings of Christ from the Cross Teryl Todd 2020 is your year to walk with God closer than ever!

Because of the Resurrection We Know That God Is In Control and Nothing Takes Him by Surprise. We may make our plans, but God has the last word.

Ephesians 3:20 NKJV 20 Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Ephesians 3:20 NLT And I will put enmity (hostility) between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel. Genesis 3:15 NIV #1 - God's Plan For You and Me Leads Us To The Cross-of-Christ. 13 You were dead because of your sins and because your sinful nature was not yet cut away. Then God made you alive with Christ, for he forgave all our sins. 14 He canceled the record of the charges against us and took it away by nailing it to the cross. 15 In this way, he disarmed the spiritual rulers and authorities. He shamed them publicly by his victory over them on the cross. Colossians 2:13-15 NLT 14 But God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. Galatians 6:4 NKJV 18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 1 Corinthians 1:18 NKJV #2 - God's Plan Is Not Only To Lead Us To The Cross, But Also To Lead Us Through The Cross To Pentecost! https://feeds.soundcloud.com/stream/803176894-wave94-infinitely-more-part-1-the-starting-place-by-pastor-teryl-todd.mp3 Mon, 20 Apr 2020 12:00:00 GMT 31:26 Infinitely More - Part 2 by Zach Barnes Teryl Todd 2020 is your year to walk with God closer than ever! Key Verse: Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we ask or think. Ephesians 3:20 Luke 5:4-11- When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch.” 5 Simon answered, “Master, we’ve worked hard all night and haven’t caught anything. But because you say so, I will let down the nets.” 6 When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to break. 7 So they signaled their partners in the other boat to come and help them, and they came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink. 8 When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’ knees and said, “Go away from me, Lord; I am a sinful man!” 9 For he and all his companions were astonished at the catch of fish they had taken, 10 and so were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, Simon’s partners. Then Jesus said to Simon, “Don’t be afraid; from now on you will fish for people.” 11 So they pulled their boats up on shore, left everything and followed him. God is looking for obedience over ability. God calls us outside of our comfort zone. Luke 5:10-11- Then Jesus said to Simon, “Don’t be afraid; from now on you will fish for people.” 11 So they pulled their boats up on shore, left everything and followed him. Matthew 14:25-29 25 Shortly before dawn Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake. 26 When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost,” they said, and cried out in fear. 27 But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.” 28 “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.”29 “Come,” he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus John 21:3 “I’m going out to fish,” Simon Peter told them, and they said, “We’ll go with you.” So they went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing. 3. God’s purpose still stands even when you walk away. John 21:7 Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” As soon as Simon Peter heard him say, “It is the Lord,” he wrapped his outer garment around him (for he had taken it off) and jumped into the water. Application and Altar 17 This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person.

I saw the Lord standing beside a wall that had been built using a plumb line. He was using a plumb line to see if it was still straight. 8And the Lord said to me, “Amos, what do you see?” I answered, “A plumb line.” And the Lord replied, “I will test my people with this plumb line. I will no longer ignore all their sins. 9The pagan shrines of your ancestors will be ruined, and the temples of Israel will be destroyed; I will bring the dynasty of King Jeroboam to a sudden end.” Isaiah 28:17, NLT “I will test you with the measuring line of justice and the plumb line of righteousness.” #1 Hold tight to your commitment to God. #2 Hold tight to your commitment to others.

Then He said to His disciples, “Make them sit down in groups of fifty.” 15And they did so, and made them all sit down. 16Then He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed and broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the multitude. 17So they all ate and were filled, and twelve baskets of the leftover fragments were taken up by them.

Tell me, what do you have in the house?” And she said, “Your maidservant has nothing in the house but a jar of oil.” 2 Kings 4:1-2 NKJV 1. (v.1) When You Don’t Know What To Do, It Is Important That You Know Where To Go! 2So Elisha said to her, “What shall I do for you?

(v.3) Faith In God Must Be Released In Action. 4And when you have come in, you shall shut the door behind you and your sons; then pour it into all those vessels, and set aside the full ones.” 5So she went from him and shut the door behind her and her sons, who brought the vessels to her; and she poured it out. 2 Kings 4:4-5 #4. (v.4-5) Shut The Door On Doubt and Unbelief 6Now it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said to her son, “Bring me another vessel.” And he said to her, “There is not another vessel.” So the oil ceased. 7Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, “Go, sell the oil and pay your debt; and you and your sons live on the rest.” 2 Kings 4:6-7 #5. Remember, God Promises There Will Always Be Enough! Phil 4:19.

But stay here in the city until the Holy Spirit comes and fills you with power from heaven.” Luke 24:49 8 But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” Acts 1:8 NKJV When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. Acts 2:1-4 NKJV 12 So they were all amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, “Whatever could this mean?” 13 Others mocking said, “They are full of new wine.” 14 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, raised his voice and said to them, “Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and heed my words. 15 For these are not drunk, as you suppose, since it is only the third hour of the day. 16 But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel: 17 ‘And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your young men shall see visions, Your old men shall dream dreams. 18 And on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days; And they shall prophesy. 19 I will show wonders in heaven above And signs in the earth beneath: Blood and fire and vapor of smoke. 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord. 21 And it shall come to pass That whoever calls on the name of the Lord Shall be saved.’ Acts 2:12-21 NKJV 37 Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Men and brethren, what shall we do?” 38 Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.” 40 And with many other words he testified and exhorted them, saying, “Be saved from this perverse generation.” 41 Then those who gladly received his word were baptized; and that day about three thousand souls were added to them.

Then Jesus went out and departed from the temple, and His disciples came up to show Him the buildings of the temple. 2 And Jesus said to them, “Do you not see all these things?

Matt. 25:13-29 13 “Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming. 14 “For the kingdom of heaven is like a man traveling to a far country, who called his own servants and delivered his goods to them. 15 And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, to each according to his own ability; and immediately he went on a journey. 16 Then he who had received the five talents went and traded with them, and made another five talents. 17 And likewise he who had received two gained two more also. 18 But he who had received one went and dug in the ground, and hid his lord’s money. 19 After a long time the lord of those servants came and settled accounts with them. 20 “So he who had received five talents came and brought five other talents, saying, ‘Lord, you delivered to me five talents; look, I have gained five more talents besides them.’ 21 His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’ 22 He also who had received two talents came and said, ‘Lord, you delivered to me two talents; look, I have gained two more talents besides them.’ 23 His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’ 24 “Then he who had received the one talent came and said, ‘Lord, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you have not sown, and gathering where you have not scattered seed.25 And I was afraid, and went and hid your talent in the ground. Look, there you have what is yours.’ 26 “But his lord answered and said to him, ‘You wicked and lazy servant, you knew that I reap where I have not sown, and gather where I have not scattered seed. 27 So you ought to have deposited my money with the bankers, and at my coming I would have received back my own with interest. 28 So take the talent from him, and give it to him who has ten talents. 29 ‘For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away.

Key Text: Matthew 22:37-40 Big Idea: When we love our neighbor we can change our world. Matthew 22:37-40 37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’[c] 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[d] 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” James 2:14-19 14 What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? 15 Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. 16 If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? 17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. 18 But someone will say, “You have faith; I have deeds.” Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds. 19 You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that—and shudder. You change the world when you choose to see people for who they are.

Key Text: Luke 10:25-37(NLT) 25 One day an expert in religious law stood up to test Jesus by asking him this question: “Teacher, what should I do to inherit eternal life?” 26 Jesus replied, “What does the law of Moses say? How do you read it?” 27 The man answered, “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your strength, and all your mind.’ And, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’” 28 “Right!” Jesus told him. “Do this and you will live!” 29 The man wanted to justify his actions, so he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” 30 Jesus replied with a story: “A Jewish man was traveling from Jerusalem down to Jericho, and he was attacked by bandits. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him up, and left him half dead beside the road. 31 “By chance a priest came along. But when he saw the man lying there, he crossed to the other side of the road and passed him by. 32 A Temple assistant walked over and looked at him lying there, but he also passed by on the other side. 33 “Then a despised Samaritan came along, and when he saw the man, he felt compassion for him. 34 Going over to him, the Samaritan soothed his wounds with olive oil and wine and bandaged them. Then he put the man on his own donkey and took him to an inn, where he took care of him.35 The next day he handed the innkeeper two silver coins, telling him, ‘Take care of this man. If his bill runs higher than this, I’ll pay you the next time I’m here.’ 36 “Now which of these three would you say was a neighbor to the man who was attacked by bandits?” Jesus asked. 37 The man replied, “The one who showed him mercy.” Then Jesus said, “Yes, now go and do the same.” James 2:1, “My dear brothers and sisters, how can you claim to have faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ if you favor some people over others! 1) Recognize our Prejudices. 2) Seek to understand others. 3) Love those who are different from you. 1 John 4:16-21 God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them.17 And as we live in God, our love grows more perfect. So we will not be afraid on the day of judgment, but we can face him with confidence because we live like Jesus here in this world. 18 Such love has no fear, because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of punishment, and this shows that we have not fully experienced his perfect love. 19 We love each other because he loved us first. 20 If someone says, “I love God,” but hates a fellow believer, that person is a liar; for if we don’t love people we can see, how can we love God, whom we cannot see? 21 And he has given us this command: Those who love God must also love their fellow believers. https://feeds.soundcloud.com/stream/853142998-wave94-love-your-neighbor-part-2-by-scott-lingerfelt.mp3 Mon, 06 Jul 2020 12:00:00 GMT 32:00 Signs, Wonders, Miracles and Healings Teryl Todd 2020 is your year to walk with God closer than ever! And they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and the Holy Spirit, Acts 6:5 NKJV 8 And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and signs among the people. Acts 6:8 NKJV 10 And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spoke. Acts 6:10 NKJV 55 But he, being full of the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. Acts 6:55 NKJV 59 And they stoned Stephen as he was calling on God and saying, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.” 60 Then he knelt down and cried out with a loud voice, “Lord, do not charge them with this sin.” And when he had said this, he fell asleep. Acts 7:59-60 NKJV 15 So be careful how you live. Don’t live like fools, but like those who are wise.16 Make the most of every opportunity in these evil days. 17 Don’t act thoughtlessly, but understand what the Lord wants you to do. 18 Don’t be drunk with wine, because that will ruin your life. Instead, be filled with the Holy Spirit, 19 singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves, and making music to the Lord in your hearts. 20 And give thanks for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. 21 And further, submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. 22 For wives, this means submit to your husbands as to the Lord. 23 For a husband is the head of his wife as Christ is the head of the church. He is the Savior of his body, the church. 24 As the church submits to Christ, so you wives should submit to your husbands in everything. 25 For husbands, this means love your wives, just as Christ loved the church.

America Is A Resilient People When We Turn To God For Help. 14 if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. 2 Chronicles. 7:14. 2. God Honors Prayer and Fasting. 21 There, by the Ahava Canal, I proclaimed a fast, so that we might humble ourselves before our God and ask him for a safe journey for us and our children, with all our possessions. 22 I was ashamed to ask the king for soldiers and horsemen to protect us from enemies on the road, because we had told the king, “The gracious hand of our God is on everyone who looks to him, but his great anger is against all who forsake him.”23 So we fasted and petitioned our God about this, and he answered our prayer. Ezra 8:21-23 NLT 3. Forgiveness Is Much More Than Just Saying The Words: “I forgive so and so.” 4.

So when you have repented and turned to me again, strengthen your brothers.” 33 Peter said, “Lord, I am ready to go to prison with you, and even to die with you.” 34 But Jesus said, “Peter, let me tell you something. Before the rooster crows tomorrow morning, you will deny three times that you even know me.” Luke 22:31-34 NLT 54 So they arrested him and led him to the high priest’s home. And Peter followed at a distance. 55 The guards lit a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat around it, and Peter joined them there. 56 A servant girl noticed him in the firelight and began staring at him. Finally she said, “This man was one of Jesus’ followers!” 57 But Peter denied it. “Woman,” he said, “I don’t even know him!” 58 After a while someone else looked at him and said, “You must be one of them!” “No, man, I’m not!” Peter retorted. 59 About an hour later someone else insisted, “This must be one of them, because he is a Galilean, too.” 60 But Peter said, “Man, I don’t know what you are talking about.” And immediately, while he was still speaking, the rooster crowed. 61 At that moment the Lord turned and looked at Peter. Suddenly, the Lord’s words flashed through Peter’s mind: “Before the rooster crows tomorrow morning, you will deny three times that you even know me.” 62 And Peter left the courtyard, weeping bitterly. Luke 22:54-62 NLT Four Things about the Holy Spirit: #1. As a Believer in Christ, The Holy Spirit Lives Inside You. 1 John 4:4; 1 Corinthians 6 #2. The Holy Spirit Empowers Us. 29 And now, O Lord, hear their threats, and give us, your servants, great boldness in preaching your word. 30 Stretch out your hand with healing power; may miraculous signs and wonders be done through the name of your holy servant Jesus.” 31 After this prayer, the meeting place shook, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit. Then they preached the word of God with boldness. Acts 4:29-31 NLT #3. The Holy Spirit Assures Us That We Belong To God’s family. Romans 8:16 #4.

Pastor Zach preaches the Word of God on his last Sunday at Evangel. Text- Luke 15:11-32 11 To illustrate the point further, Jesus told them this story: “A man had two sons. 12 The younger son told his father, ‘I want my share of your estate now before you die.’ So his father agreed to divide his wealth between his sons. (Stop here and expound) 13 “A few days later this younger son packed all his belongings and moved to a distant land, and there he wasted all his money in wild living. 14 About the time his money ran out, a great famine swept over the land, and he began to starve. 15 He persuaded a local farmer to hire him, and the man sent him into his fields to feed the pigs. 16 The young man became so hungry that even the pods he was feeding the pigs looked good to him. But no one gave him anything. 17 “When he finally came to his senses, he said to himself, ‘At home even the hired servants have food enough to spare, and here I am dying of hunger! 18 I will go home to my father and say, “Father, I have sinned against both heaven and you, 19 and I am no longer worthy of being called your son. Please take me on as a hired servant.”’ 20 “So he returned home to his father. And while he was still a long way off, his father saw him coming. Filled with love and compassion, he ran to his son, embraced him, and kissed him. 21 His son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against both heaven and you, and I am no longer worthy of being called your son. 22 “But his father said to the servants, ‘Quick! Bring the finest robe in the house and put it on him. Get a ring for his finger and sandals for his feet. 23 And kill the calf we have been fattening. We must celebrate with a feast, 24 for this son of mine was dead and has now returned to life. He was lost, but now he is found.’ So the party began. 25 “Meanwhile, the older son was in the fields working. When he returned home, he heard music and dancing in the house, 26 and he asked one of the servants what was going on. 27 ‘Your brother is back,’ he was told, ‘and your father has killed the fattened calf. We are celebrating because of his safe return.’ 28 “The older brother was angry and wouldn’t go in. His father came out and begged him, 29 but he replied, ‘All these years I’ve slaved for you and never once refused to do a single thing you told me to. And in all that time you never gave me even one young goat for a feast with my friends. 30 Yet when this son of yours comes back after squandering your money on prostitutes, you celebrate by killing the fattened calf!’ 31 “His father said to him, ‘Look, dear son, you have always stayed by me, and everything I have is yours. 32 We had to celebrate this happy day. For your brother was dead and has come back to life! He was lost, but now he is found!’” https://feeds.soundcloud.com/stream/877420672-wave94-god-really-does-love-you-by-pastor-zach-barnes-on-sunday-aug-16-2020.mp3 Mon, 17 Aug 2020 12:00:00 GMT 35:44 The Fight is Worth Fighting - Part 1 - The Good Fight of Faith Teryl Todd 2020 is your year to walk with God closer than ever! 12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. 1 Timothy 6:12 NKJV 5 For when we came into Macedonia, we had no rest, but we were harassed at every turn—conflicts on the outside, fears within. 2 Corinthians 7:5 NIV 2 And when John had heard in prison about the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples 3 and said to Him, “Are You the Coming One, or do we look for another?” Matthew 11:2-3 NKJV 4 Jesus answered and said to them, “Go and tell John the things which you hear and see: 5 The blind see and the lame walk; the lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear; the dead are raised up and the poor have the gospel preached to them.6 And blessed is he who is not offended because of Me.” Matthew 11:4-6 NKJV 12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.

Discouragement Is A Dark Force From Hell That Has An Agenda. #3. Discouragement Goes For Your Soul. Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers. 3 John 1:2 NKJV 7 Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you. 8 Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. 9 Stand firm against him, and be strong in your faith. Remember that your family of believers all over the world is going through the same kind of suffering you are. 1 Peter 5:7-9 NLT #4. Discouragement Attacks At Your Most Vulnerable Moments. 8For we do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, of our trouble which came to us in Asia: that we were burdened beyond measure, above strength, so that we despaired even of life. 9Yes, we had the sentence of death in ourselves… 2 Corinthians 1:8-9 TO DEFEAT DISCOURAGEMENT, YOU NEED TO HAVE A PROTECTION PLAN. 8 This book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. 9Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9 https://feeds.soundcloud.com/stream/885204568-wave94-the-fight-is-worth-fighting-part-2-fighting-against-discouragement-by-pastor-teryl-todd.mp3 Mon, 31 Aug 2020 12:00:00 GMT 38:41 The Fight is Worth Fighting - Part 3 - Fighting Through Disappointment Teryl Todd 2020 is your year to walk with God closer than ever! 66 At this point many of his disciples turned away and deserted him. 67 Then Jesus turned to the Twelve and asked, “Are you also going to leave?” 68 Simon Peter replied, “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words that give eternal life. 69 We believe, and we know you are the Holy One of God. John 6:66-69 NLT #1. “Did I Do Something Wrong?” #2. “Did I Not Have Enough Faith?” #3. “Why?” “Why Did This Happen?” #4. “Can I Ever Trust God Again?” #1.

Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known. #3.

PHILLIPIANS 4:6-7 NIV 6Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 26 Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27 Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God. 28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

We will also learn three practical tools that can take us to the next level in our relationship with God.

Especially when we are talking about our love towards one another. In week nine of This Is Us, we’ll discover a powerful change Jesus makes the night before he went to the cross regarding how we are supposed to love others.

The same is true in the area of generosity. Our natural reaction is to resist the idea and hold on tight to what is ours. However, generosity is at the core of who God is and it’s a value that shows whether we are fully surrendered to God or not. In week ten of This Is Us, we’ll learn what Biblical generosity is and identify four characteristics found in generous people.

Unfortunately, we often allow feelings of insignificance and insecurity get in the way. In many cases, we are just too busy and don’t want to be inconvenienced. The Apostle Paul wrote, “whenever we have the opportunity, we should do good to everyone.” In the final week of This Is Us, we will see that a young boy made a huge impact because he didn’t allow what he didn’t have to keep him from giving what he did have.

In fact, words hurt and they can leave deep scars that have a negative impact on our lives for a long time. In this week’s message, learn what the Bible says about labels and how we can find freedom from the side effects they have on our life.

He argues that our true purpose is threefold: to know Jesus and be known by Him, to become more like Jesus, and to make Jesus known. Using biblical passages from Mark, Ephesians, and personal stories, he emphasizes that our identity is not in what we do, but in Christ. He urges listeners to stop comparing themselves to others, as this leads to insecurity and diminishes their God-given identity. The message encourages viewers to build their lives on the sure foundation of Christ, not on temporal achievements, so that when trials come, they are pressed but not crushed. This is week 3 of our series Pressed Not Crushed.

The series focuses on the unexpected twists, turns, and detours that we experience in life. So often, when we encounter these moments, we see them as setbacks and struggle to recognize that God is at work behind the scenes. He uses these detours to build our faith, refine our character, and ultimately guide us toward our purpose in life. Last week, we looked at Ephesians 2 and laid the foundation for this series. We discovered that, as believers, we have an identity in Christ. We’ve been made new, and with that comes a sense of purpose. Over the next couple of months, we’ll walk through the story of Joseph in Genesis and explore the detours we encounter on the highway toward God’s purpose for our lives. Today, we’re going to talk about a significant roadblock we all face at some point in our faith journey. It’s a roadblock that can often catch us off guard, causing damage and destruction in our lives. If we’re not careful, it can even bring everything to a standstill. It’s a heavy topic—one we all deal with. Today, I want to talk to you about the detour of pride. +++++++ Join us for church this Sunday.

The speaker opens with two well-known stories: Walt Disney, fired from his first newspaper job for “lack of imagination,” and Oprah Winfrey, removed from her anchor desk for being “too emotional.” Both overcame the lies spoken over them by embracing who they truly were. The core teaching comes from Ephesians 1:15–23, where Paul prays that the church in Ephesus would receive spiritual wisdom and see themselves through God’s eyes — not through the lens of insecurity or false labels. +++++++ Join us for church this Sunday. For service times and meeting location please visit https://transformtlh.com/ Key Points: The Lies We Believe: The most damaging lies are often not what others say but what we begin to believe about ourselves. Many people look in the mirror and see failure, brokenness, or worthlessness. The Mirror Doesn’t Define You — God Does: The speaker stresses that while the mirror may reflect our face, only God can reveal our identity. You Can’t Heal What You Won’t Name: To overcome distorted self-perceptions, we have to name the lie we’re believing — whether it's “I’m not enough,” “I’ll always be stuck,” or “God can’t use me.” Scriptural Reframing: Paul prays for the Ephesians to have “spiritual wisdom and insight,” not just to be smarter, but to see life as God sees it. That includes seeing ourselves with clarity and hope. Our Identity in Christ: Using both scripture and personal reflection, the message reinforces that we are handcrafted by God with purpose — just as Walt Disney intentionally created Mickey Mouse. Understanding God’s story helps us understand our own. Closing Message: The speaker concludes with a call to reject the lies, grow in the knowledge of God, and embrace our God-given identity. Only by learning what God says about us in His Word can we silence the false voices and live with confidence and purpose. +++++++ Join us for church this Sunday.

He broke the walls of exclusion that said 'You can get in, but you can't.' He leveled the playing field for humanity to come in and find a seat at His table." --Mike Braddock Using the familiar anxiety of finding a seat at a crowded table, Mike Braddock explores our deep need for belonging. Drawing from Ephesians 2, he reveals how Jesus’ death tore down every wall of exclusion, inviting everyone to leave the world's conditional tables and take their permanent, unconditional seat in God's family. +++++++ Join us for church this Sunday.

He broke the walls of exclusion that said 'You can get in, but you can't.' He leveled the playing field for humanity to come in and find a seat at His table." --Mike Braddock Have you ever felt the pressure and anxiety of trying to find a place to belong? Whether it's navigating the unspoken rules of a dinner party or the social dynamics of a school cafeteria, the fear of not fitting in is universal. In this relatable message, "Take Your Seat," Mike Braddock uses this common experience as a powerful metaphor for our lifelong search for acceptance. He explores how we exhaust ourselves performing for a spot at the world's conditional "tables"—of social status, financial success, or cultural relevance—often creating a false identity just to keep our seat. This struggle isn't new. Mike dives into Ephesians 2, showing how the early church faced a profound division between the Jews (the "insiders") and the Gentiles (the "outsiders"), who were excluded from God's promises and lived without hope. The message powerfully pivots on the good news: Jesus’ death on the cross decisively tore down every wall of hostility and exclusion. He created one new family, giving everyone—regardless of their past, their sin, or their feelings of inadequacy—a permanent and secure invitation to His table. If you've ever felt like an outsider, this teaching is your invitation to come home and take your rightful seat. +++++++ Join us for church this Sunday.

Drawing from Ephesians 3, he reveals that true strength and a life built to last come from internalizing God's immeasurable love. Russell encourages listeners to overcome past hurts and self-condemnation, like the Prodigal Son's father, and step into the transforming power of God's lavish, persistent love that forms our true identity. +++++++ Join us for church this Sunday. For service times and meeting location please visit https://transformtlh.com/ Join guest speaker Russell Siemer, formerly the Worship and Outreach Pastor at Transformation Church, as he returns to share a deeply personal and powerful message entitled "Built to Last." Russell begins by highlighting the profound impact of a father's words and love in shaping a child's identity, urging all parents to verbalize their pride and affection, breaking generational cycles of unspoken love. Drawing from his own experiences as a church planter navigating both the urgency of reaching the unchurched and the patience to trust God's timing, Russell sets the stage for a profound dive into Ephesians chapter 3. He reveals the secret to living a life "built to last": understanding and internalizing God's boundless love. Russell unpacks Paul's message to the Ephesians, a church situated at the epicenter of both human knowledge and diverse worship. Paul reminds them—and us—that through Christ Jesus, the gospel is now inclusive, granting both Jews and Gentiles equal access to God's presence and an equal share in the riches inherited by His children. This "mysterious plan," hidden for ages, was always God's intention: a meta-narrative of restoration for all. A poignant segment of the message addresses the counterintuitive truth that where the church faces the greatest persecution, the gospel spreads like wildfire. Russell offers a stirring challenge to American believers, reminding them that an increasingly unpopular Christian faith is, in fact, a sign of an opportune time for a great spiritual awakening. The heart of the sermon lies in Paul's prayer in Ephesians 3:14-19: that we would be "empowered with inner strength through His Spirit" and that "Christ will make His home in your hearts as you trust in Him." This leads to the core truth: God loves you. Russell tackles common misconceptions about this foundational truth, debunking the myths that God's love is a license for complacency or an excuse to remain unchanged. Instead, he asserts, God's love accepts us as we are but loves us too much to leave us there, providing the "guardrails" for a life of purpose and wholeness. He transparently shares common barriers to receiving God's love, including past hurts from earthly relationships, the struggles and hardships of life that tempt us to question God's care, and a low view of ourselves that hinders self-forgiveness. Russell beautifully illustrates God's lavish and seemingly "reckless" love through the parable of the Prodigal Son, demonstrating the Father's relentless pursuit and extravagant grace for the undeserving. This message is an urgent invitation to step into God's transforming love—whether for the very first time in salvation, for healing from deep wounds inflicted by earthly fathers, or for overcoming the struggle to love and forgive oneself.

All he has to do is convince you that your light is not worth shining." --Emily Paul As Christians, we're told to "shine your light," but what does that practically mean in our daily lives? In this installment of the "Identity Theft" series, titled "Flip the Switch," Emily Paul poses a crucial question: It's not if we know we're called to be a light, but are we living like it? Drawing from Ephesians 5, Emily explains that when we accept Jesus, the light is already in us; our job is to "flip the switch" and let it out. This message will guide you through five essential truths for carrying your light effectively. You'll be challenged to let go of the shadows of your past, embrace the awkwardness of being set apart, and stay connected to the true source of power.

In this message, Pastor Brandon breaks down one of the most powerful (and often misunderstood) passages in Ephesians 5 to show how marriage is more than romance, rules, or roles. It’s a reflection of the gospel. Whether you’re single, married, divorced, or somewhere in between, this message speaks directly to the heart of every relationship. Why? Because at the center of every godly relationship is a simple truth: you don’t need a new spouse—you need a new surrender. Scripture Reference: Ephesians 5:21–33 Big Idea: Marriage isn’t designed to make you happy. It’s designed to make you holy. Key Quote: “Marriage forms you into who you’re called to be—not who you always wanted to be.” ⸻ Core Themes in this Message: • Marriage as a divine mystery, not just a human contract • Redefining authority through Christ, not control • The connection between responsibility and spiritual maturity • Why mutual submission is an act of worship • How humility unlocks unity in every relationship • Practical ways to walk in daily surrender +++++++ Join us for church this Sunday.

Drawing from Ephesians 6:4, he challenges parents to move beyond angering their children and instead raise them with grace, purpose-driven training, and kindness, reflecting God's own compassionate discipline. +++++++ Join us for church this Sunday. For service times and meeting location please visit https://transformtlh.com/ "Let our home be the first place that our identity in Christ shows up, not the last." --Pastor Ryan Kramer In "Parenting God's Way," Pastor Ryan Kramer, fresh off sabbatical, dives into the crucial intersection of Christian identity and family life, specifically parenting. Building on the church's "Identity Theft" series, he highlights that knowing who we are in Christ is only truly meaningful when it's lived out daily, especially in the home where Satan often works overtime to derail our walk. Using Ephesians 6:4 as his anchor, Pastor Ryan redefines what leadership in the home looks like, moving from mere "being in charge" to "being Christlike." He unpacks common pitfalls that provoke children to anger, such as helicopter parenting, comparison, performance-based love, emotional absence, and unrealistic expectations, explaining how these behaviors can rewire a child's brain, diminish trust, and create a distorted view of Jesus. The core of the message shifts to Paul's positive instructions: "bring them up with the discipline and the instruction that comes from the Lord." Pastor Ryan offers three practical "handles" for parenting God's way: raising kids with grace (cultivating with compassion, where correction is wrapped in compassion), training with purpose (discipline as preparation, explaining the "why" behind rules), and teaching with kindness (gentle correction, being safe rather than scary). He vulnerably shares his own struggles with reacting in anger and the transformative power of a parent repenting and asking for a child's forgiveness, demonstrating true grace. The sermon concludes with a powerful challenge: to ensure our home is the primary place our identity in Christ is revealed, reflecting God's love, grace, mercy, and compassion to our children. +++++++ Join us for church this Sunday.

Drawing from Ephesians 6, he emphasizes that our motives, work ethic, and understanding of our job as a mission from God directly reflect our identity in Christ, impacting how others perceive our faith. +++++++ Join us for church this Sunday. For service times and meeting location please visit https://transformtlh.com/ "It's not that people don't believe in Jesus; it's that they don't see Jesus in us." --Pastor Ryan Kramer In his message, "Kingdom Hustle," Pastor Ryan Kramer explores the often-uncomfortable question, "What do you do?" and how our answer frequently intertwines with our self-worth and identity. He delves into Ephesians 6:5-9, urging listeners to view their work through a "Kingdom" lens, emphasizing that our daily jobs are not merely a means to an end, but a powerful opportunity to live out our Christian identity. Key takeaways from this teaching include: -- Our Motives Matter to God: It's easy to assume God cares about what we do at church, but Pastor Kramer highlights that God also cares deeply about our heart's attitude and motives when we show up to work. He warns against the subtle ways our hearts can justify wrong attitudes, reminding us that God "sees the heart behind the hustle." -- Our Work Ethic is Our Witness: Our colleagues are constantly watching how we interact, respond to pressure, and perform our duties. Pastor Kramer stresses that how we show up to work directly shapes how others see God. Our actions—showing up early, owning mistakes, refusing to cut corners, and treating everyone with respect—can be the most powerful sermon we preach. -- Our Job is More About Mission Than Money: While providing for our families is essential, if money is the only reason we work, we miss the bigger picture. Pastor Kramer asserts that we don't just "work there"; we've been "sent there" by God with a mission. He challenges the notion that God will open doors to new seasons before we've been faithful in our current one, urging us to recognize that our work is an opportunity to display Jesus to the world, one workday at a time.

We often think of the Christian life as a constant struggle to attain victory, but what if we've got it all wrong? In this powerful message, Andrea Kramer reveals the truth that as followers of Christ, we are not fighting for victory, but from a place of victory. Join us as she explores what this means for our daily battles, and how we can stand firm in our identity and the power of God. +++++++ Join us for church this Sunday. For service times and meeting location please visit https://transformtlh.com/ Do you ever look in the mirror and not recognize the person looking back at you? The battles of life—sickness, anxiety, depression, broken relationships—can wear us down and make us feel defeated. But what if we've been fighting the wrong way? In this message, Andrea Kramer challenges the common misconception that we are fighting to achieve victory. Instead, she shares the liberating truth that through the resurrection of Jesus, victory has already been secured. Our job isn't to win the war, but to stand firm on the ground that has already been won. In this message, you'll discover: -- The importance of knowing your job in the battle: being strong "in the Lord and in his mighty power," not in our own strength. -- How to identify your real enemy: recognizing that we are not fighting against "flesh and blood," but against spiritual forces. -- What to take into battle: learning to use the full armor of God to defend against the devil's strategies. -- Three practical ways to fight from victory: starting your day right, refusing to surrender ground that's already been won, and boldly declaring your identity in Christ. This message will encourage you to stop fighting for a win and start living from the victory that is already yours in Jesus.

In this powerful message, Pastor Ryan Kramer uses the relatable example of a dying phone battery to illustrate a crucial spiritual truth. He explains that just as a phone with all the best apps is useless without a power source, a Christian's life, even with all the right spiritual practices, can feel dry and exhausted without a consistent connection to God. This teaching is a vital reminder that our spiritual disciplines are not enough on their own—they must be coupled with the empowering presence of the Holy Spirit to bring true transformation. +++++++ Join us for church this Sunday. For service times and meeting location please visit https://transformtlh.com/ The Power of Connection: Recharging Your Spiritual Life This message, titled "Soul Reset," is a timely and vital call to action for anyone who feels their faith is running on fumes. Pastor Ryan Kramer opens with a relatable analogy: the frustrating experience of a phone that's fully equipped but not charged. He connects this to the Christian life, highlighting a common struggle: we can have all the right "apps"—Bible study, worship, and community—but if we're not plugged into our power source, God, our spiritual lives will feel dry and underpowered. Drawing from Ephesians 6, Pastor Kramer explains that the Apostle Paul's instruction to be "strong in the Lord and in his mighty power" has two essential parts. The first is putting on the armor of God, which equips us for spiritual battle. The second, and often overlooked, is connecting to our power source—God's mighty power. He likens this to a soldier in battle: equipped with all the gear, but vulnerable and exposed without communication from their command. This teaching emphasizes that our spiritual disciplines, while good and necessary, are not enough on their own. They must be empowered by a deep, relational connection with God. Pastor Kramer provides a practical, 10-minute prayer framework to help listeners reset their souls and turn on the "faucet" of living water: -- Return in Worship: Begin with a time of worship, using a vertical song to focus on who God is, not just what you need from him. -- Express Gratitude: Shift your focus from what's missing to what matters by thanking God for His blessings. -- Ask for a Heart Check: Humbly ask God to reveal any unpleasing attitudes or sins, and ask for His forgiveness. -- Extend an Invitation: Invite the Holy Spirit to guide your steps, words, thoughts, and actions throughout the day. -- Take a Moment to Just Be: End with a moment of silent stillness, allowing yourself to simply be in God's presence and listen for His voice. Pastor Kramer concludes by sharing a personal conviction he experienced during a sabbatical: he was so busy doing things for God that he had neglected being with God. He explains that while the living water is available, it is not automatic—we have to turn on the faucet. This message is a powerful reminder that true spiritual vitality comes not from religious activity, but from an intimate, intentional, and consistent connection with the living water of Jesus Christ.

You believe in His promises, but your circumstances feel like a contradiction. This message, based on Paul's letter to the Ephesians, offers a powerful perspective on how to navigate those moments. It's a journey into the dual nature of grace: the grace that saves you and the grace that sustains you. In this talk, you will learn: -- How God's sustaining grace is an "unending current" of His power and presence that keeps you standing when everything else would make you fall. -- Why the Apostle Paul, writing from prison, prayed not for freedom but for faithfulness while in chains. -- The meaning of "rest" in a spiritual sense—a release from burdens, a restoration of strength, and a settled peace for your soul. -- How to live out the "unforced rhythms of grace" by understanding what it means to walk with Jesus, work with Jesus, and watch what He does. -- The difference between striving for God's approval and partnering with Him in His work. -- Why a deep, intimate relationship with God (the "walk") must come before the work and the results.

In this convicting message from Luke 15, we meet the older brother—a character who stayed home, worked hard, and followed all the rules, yet found himself just as lost as his rebellious sibling. This powerful teaching exposes how religious performance without relationship can leave us physically present but emotionally absent from God's heart. Whether you've been faithfully serving but secretly resenting, or struggling with entitlement disguised as devotion, this message will challenge you to examine your motives and rediscover the joy of truly faithful living. Sometimes the most dangerous place to be isn't far from God—it's close to His house but far from His heart. Scripture Reference: Luke 15:25-32, Ephesians 2:8-9 Big Idea: Faithful-ish looks like loyalty but hides resentment—true faithfulness flows from love, not leverage. Key Quote: "Rebellion takes you far from the father's house, but religion can keep you close to the house but still far from the father." +++++++ Join us for church this Sunday.

Using the image of a closed, narrow door, he urges listeners to wrestle with the eternal consequences of a passive faith. This sermon shifts the focus from merely agreeing with Jesus to fully following Him, revealing that surrender, though hard, leads to the ultimate reward: Jesus Himself. Here are the main points Jesus wants us to see: -- The door to heaven is open, but it's narrow. Jesus is the only choice—not to limit us, but to guide us to the right one. -- The door won't stay open forever. Jesus is trying to wake us up, not scare us, because forgiveness has an expiration date we don't know. Choosing nothing eventually becomes a choice with eternal consequences. -- The door is open to everyone.

For service times and meeting location please visit https://transformtlh.com/ In this challenging and profound message, Pastor Ryan Kramer (speaking on "The Paradox of Spirituality") confronts the cultural idea that spirituality is a low-effort, open-option path. Using the image of a closed, narrow door, he urges listeners to wrestle with the eternal consequences of a passive faith. This sermon shifts the focus from merely agreeing with Jesus to fully following Him, revealing that surrender, though hard, leads to the ultimate reward: Jesus Himself. Here are the main points Jesus wants us to see: -- The door to heaven is open, but it's narrow. Jesus is the only choice—not to limit us, but to guide us to the right one. -- The door won't stay open forever. Jesus is trying to wake us up, not scare us, because forgiveness has an expiration date we don't know. Choosing nothing eventually becomes a choice with eternal consequences. -- The door is open to everyone. Although the path is narrow, the invitation is global, welcoming every color, culture, and story. -- The door is Jesus. He is the only way in and is everything we have been looking for. The true reward is not heaven, but Him.

Using the powerful exchange between Jesus and Peter in Matthew 16, he presents a mirror to help answer the most important spiritual question: "How do I know that I'm saved?" Discover the three vital questions that reveal if you're merely starting your faith or truly following and finishing the race. +++++++ Join us for church this Sunday. For service times and meeting location please visit https://transformtlh.com/ In the third message of the Kingdom Paradox series, Pastor Ryan Kramer digs into the unexpected demand of Jesus's call: citizenship. He warns against a "crossless Christianity" that seeks salvation without surrender, or grace without guidance. This message hands us a mirror, not for condemnation, but to help us answer the essential question: How do I know that I am saved? The evidence isn't found in a prayer, but in a life of discipleship, which is revealed by answering three core questions: -- Who Is Leading My Life? The evidence of who leads your life is public, showing up in how you handle conflict, temptation, and decisions. The fruit of your life indicates the root; you cannot be saved by Jesus and remain unsurrendered to Jesus. -- What Am I Holding On To In Life? Taking up your cross is not an illness, a bad job, or a difficult spouse. It is that point where God's will and your desires diverge. It's the obedience that costs you comfort, reputation, or pleasure, choosing things like forgiveness over revenge or serving over being served. -- Do Others See Jesus In Me? Following Jesus is not admiration or intellectual agreement; it is apprenticeship. It is a commitment to being with him, becoming like him (in attitudes, reactions, and choices), and representing him by carrying his heart for the lost and broken.

Jesus saw her two small coins as a greater offering than the large gifts of the wealthy because she gave everything she had to live on (100%). This isn't a message about money; it's a love story about radical gratitude. Ryan challenges us to stop seeking transformation without discomfort and to ask: What is my love for Jesus costing me right now? Discover how sacrifice isn't a setback, but the necessary doorway to your next, most meaningful season of faith. +++++++ Join us for church this Sunday. For service times and meeting location please visit https://transformtlh.com/ "A faith that doesn't cost anything is a faith that won't change anything." - Pastor Ryan Kramer The Costly Yes: Why Sacrifice Is Your Setup, Not Your Setback Have you ever wanted a breakthrough in life without any discomfort or surrender? In week five of the "Kingdom Paradox" series, Pastor Ryan Kramer dives into the tension between the world's view of sacrifice as a setback and the Kingdom's view of it as a step forward. Looking at the story of the poor widow in Mark 12:41-44, Ryan reveals that true giving is an overflow of gratitude, not obligation, and that Jesus measures our offerings not by their size, but by the size of the sacrifice. This message challenges us to move beyond superficial faith and embrace a life that truly costs us something, remembering that just as God delivered us from our "Egypt" (sin and bondage), our full response should be one of complete and loving surrender. The message explores these main points: -- This story isn't a money story, it's a love story—a testament to gratitude and remembering God's salvation. -- The danger of spiritual drift occurs when we stop remembering how bad we were or where God has brought us from. -- Gratitude isn't measured by the size of the gift; it's measured by the size of the sacrifice (100%). -- A faith that doesn't cost anything is a faith that won't change anything. -- Sacrifice is the doorway into new seasons, serving as a "setup" for what God wants to give us next. -- We must stop trying to carry everything from the last season into the next one.

Using the life of the Apostle Paul as a roadmap, Ryan Kramer breaks down the dangerous assumptions that sabotage our growth and offers a "cheat code" for lasting change. -- The Common Thread: Realizing that we are the recurring factor in our own cycles of regret is the first step toward freedom. -- Encounter vs. Transformation: A powerful moment with God can redirect your life, but only a change in your thinking can transform it. -- The Arabia Season: Why Paul spent three years in "reprogramming" before stepping into his calling, and why you might need to slow down to move forward. -- The Experience Fallacy: Why simply "going through" a trial doesn't make you wiser unless you take the time to evaluate it with God. -- The Knowledge Gap: Knowing better is not the same as doing better; transformation requires a heart-level shift in our priorities. -- The Time Pressure Trap: Why rushing into decisions because "time is running out" almost always leads to the wrong destination.

We often believe God can move mountains, yet we find ourselves frustrated when He doesn't. In this episode, Pastor Ryan Kramer dives into Matthew 17 to reveal why the disciples failed to cast out a demon despite having the authority to do so. It wasn't a lack of faith—it was a lack of alignment. Discover how "Seek Week" and the dual power of prayer and fasting can remove the competition for your heart and reconnect you to the source of true power. +++++++ Join us for church this Sunday. For service times and meeting location please visit https://transformtlh.com/ "Prayer reconnects us to God, and fasting removes the competition." — Pastor Ryan Kramer In this message, Pastor Ryan Kramer explores the gap between knowing God’s power and experiencing it. When we face "this kind" of mountain—the stubborn habits, the long-term obstacles, or the silent heavens—the answer isn't simply more faith, but faith placed in the right Person. By understanding our nature as body, soul, and spirit, we can use the tools of prayer and fasting to bring our lives back into harmony with God's will. -- The Danger of Familiarity: How past successes can lead us to rely on our own strength and routines rather than a fresh dependence on the Holy Spirit. -- Little Faith vs. Mustard Seed Faith: Why Jesus rebuked the disciples for "little faith" but praised the "mustard seed." It isn't about the size of your faith, but where you place it. -- The Triune Being: Understanding how our body (fleshly appetites) and soul (mind and emotions) often compete with our spirit for control. -- Prayer and Fasting: The two-fold process of reconnecting with the Creator while intentionally silencing the distractions and cravings that hinder our spiritual growth. -- The Purpose of Difficulty: Recognizing that God allows "uncomfortable" seasons to move us from casual faith to a deeper, more transformative reliance on Him.

From understanding how footholds give the enemy a base of operations in your life to discovering the four steps to releasing the past (decide don't feel, go first, name the debt, release it to God)—this message is raw, honest, and transformative. If you've been carrying the weight of unforgiveness, bitterness, or anger, this message will show you how to release your past so your past can release you.

It's all about them trying to hold on to God and something else at the same time." – Ryan Kramer Why do 90% of Americans believe in God, yet so few live lives that reflect it? In this message, Pastor Ryan Kramer uncovers the "intention-action gap" that leaves us feeling spiritually cold. Discover why we drift, how to identify the numbness of distance, and the single, simple step required to feel the warmth of the fire again. +++++++ Join us for church this Sunday. For service times and meeting location please visit https://transformtlh.com/ In 1991, McDonald's launched the "McLean"—a healthy burger that people said they wanted, but no one actually bought. This phenomenon, known by psychologists as the "intention-action gap," doesn't just apply to fast food; it is the primary reason many Christians feel distant from God. In this opening message of the relationSHIFT series, Ryan Kramer explores James Chapter 4 to diagnose the root cause of spiritual drift. Using the powerful imagery of a campfire, he explains that God never moves away from us; we simply step back until the cold makes us numb. If you are tired of a casual faith and ready to reignite your relationship with God, this message offers the practical path back to the heat of His presence. -- The "Intention-Action Gap" explains why we often fail to do what we know is good for us, creating a disconnect between our beliefs and our daily lives. -- James Chapter 4 serves as a wake-up call to believers who have developed a casual faith, highlighting how unchecked desires create conflict and distance from God. -- Spiritual drift is rarely caused by a sudden rejection of God; instead, it is a slow accumulation of small steps away from Him caused by the busyness of life. -- God is like a fire: He does not change or move. Our experience of His warmth is entirely dependent on our proximity to Him. -- "Paradoxical heat sensation" is a physical condition where freezing to death feels like burning up; similarly, spiritual drift eventually numbs us to the reality of our distance from God. -- The solution to a cold spiritual life isn't a massive overhaul, but a single intentional step back toward the fire.

Our problem isn't that we have too much to do, but that we have separated the spiritual from the everyday." — Andrea Kramer Is your life a masterpiece of "color-coded chaos"? Many of us have included God as just another appointment on a crowded calendar, only to find our spiritual lives feeling dry, broken, and exhausted. In this moving message, Andrea Kramer shares her personal journey through burnout and reveals how to shift from merely working for God to truly being with Him. +++++++ Join us for church this Sunday. For service times and meeting location please visit https://transformtlh.com/ In a world that demands constant productivity, it is easy to let the "God things" become just another set of chores. We attend the meetings, lead the small groups, and check the boxes, yet we still find ourselves stressed and unable to sleep. Andrea Kramer dives into the danger of separating our "spiritual" lives from our "everyday" lives, reminding us that God wants to inhabit every moment—including the commute through Florida traffic. Using the story of Mary and Martha, this message explores: -- Why we become resentful and "snarky" when busyness replaces closeness with Jesus. -- How to match your pace to the "metronome" of the Holy Spirit rather than the frantic speed of the world. -- The difference between producing fruit through striving and bearing fruit by abiding in the Vine. -- Practical steps to return, rest, and receive so that your soul can find its rhythm again.

In this powerful message, Ryan Kramer explores James 1 to reveal why we often feel stuck despite our Bible reading and church attendance.

We can access more sermons, podcasts, and worship songs in 24 hours than previous generations could in a lifetime. Yet, many of us feel a frustrating disconnect: we know the truth, but we aren't experiencing the freedom. Ryan Kramer dives into the book of James to explain that the "blessed life" isn't found in what we know, but in what we choose to do. This teaching challenges us to stop deceiving ourselves and start looking intently into the mirror of God’s Word to find true restoration. -- Knowing versus doing: Why exercise, relationships, and spiritual growth all require application over mere information. -- The "Text Message" from James: Understanding that James wasn't worried about his church believing the wrong things; he was worried they weren't living out the right things. -- The Simmering Crockpot: A look at how "frustration" is often just a polite word for the internal anger that prevents the righteousness God desires. -- The Mirror Analogy: The vital difference between "glancing" at the Word to see the obvious and "gazing" intently to see what truly needs attention. -- The Danger of the Gap: Why delaying obedience leads to a callous heart and makes disobedience feel acceptable. -- The Sozo Life: How consistent obedience leads to a life of being rescued, restored, and aligned with God’s purpose.

Join Andrea Kramer and special guest Talia Perez as they recap the life-changing Abide Women’s Conference.

For service times and meeting location please visit https://transformtlh.com/ In this special recap of the Abide Women’s Conference, Andrea Kramer sits down with Los Angeles-based content creator Talia Perez to discuss what it truly means to dwell in the presence of the Most High. Drawing from Psalm 91 and her life in the heart of the entertainment industry, Talia explains how we can remain "set apart" even in the darkest environments. This conversation is a call to move beyond Sunday-morning visits with God and into a daily lifestyle of abiding that protects our identity and strengthens our faith. -- The Difference Between Visiting and Dwelling: Just as we wash off physical sand after a day at the beach, we must allow the Word of God to wash off the "dust and grime" of the world’s opinions and stresses. -- The Strong Tower: Why running to the Lord—rather than doom-scrolling or complaining—is the only way to find true refuge during life's trials. -- The Power of Praise: A look at how Paul and Silas saw their chains break not through murmuring, but through worship in the midst of their midnight hour. -- Identity and Ownership: A powerful reminder that because God is our Creator, He is the only one with the authority to name and define us; culture has no right to rename what God has already claimed. -- Spiritual Warfare with Scripture: Following the example of Jesus in the wilderness by using "It is written" as our primary weapon against the lies of the enemy.

One that didn't begin with a sword, but instead with a towel." — Jeff Gonzalez What if the secret to changing the world isn't found on a stage or under a spotlight, but in a basin of dirty water? In this opening message of the "Servolution" series, Jeff Gonzalez explores the radical humility of Jesus, who traded a heavenly throne for a servant’s towel. If you’ve ever felt the pull of the spotlight or the rush to be first, this teaching will challenge everything you know about success and show you why true power begins on your knees. +++++++ Join us for church this Sunday. For service times and meeting location please visit https://transformtlh.com/ In a culture that tells us to climb the ladder, step over the competition, and "look out for number one," Jesus offers a completely different blueprint. He didn't come to claim a physical throne through force; He came to overthrow pride through service. By looking at the Last Supper in John 13, we see that the King of Kings performed a task so lowly that even common servants weren't expected to do it. This message challenges us to shift our posture and embrace the "Servolution." -- Serving requires a shift in posture, moving from a desire to be recognized to a heart that is willing to be used behind the scenes. -- In the upside-down kingdom of God, the way to the top is actually a move toward the bottom; whoever wants to be first must choose to be last. -- Security in our identity is the key to humility; because Jesus knew exactly who He was, He was not afraid to stoop low. -- Serving is not a selective act for those we like; Jesus set the example by washing the feet of everyone at the table, including Judas. -- A "Servolution" transforms communities when we stop waiting for perfect moments and start serving in the messy, inconvenient ones.

Many of us attend church for years, accumulating knowledge without seeing real change in our lives. In this powerful message, Pastor Jeff Gonzalez reveals that the missing link to your personal transformation isn't more information—it’s a towel.

For service times and meeting location please visit https://transformtlh.com/ In part two of the "Serve-olution" series, Pastor Jeff Gonzalez explores the radical heart of the Kingdom of God. While the world chases prestige, power, and "likes," Jesus models a different path to greatness: the path of the servant. This message challenges us to look beyond our own convenience and see people through the eyes of compassion, revealing that true spiritual maturity is found not in what we receive, but in what we pour out. -- Real greatness in God’s Kingdom is found by lowering yourself for the sake of others, not by exalting your own status. -- Humility is not insecurity or weakness; it is strength under control, rooted in a secure identity in Christ. -- Serving like Jesus changes our "prescription," allowing us to see people as souls to love rather than inconveniences to manage. -- A faith that only receives but never releases becomes weak and shriveled; we must exercise our faith through action. -- Service acts as a spiritual mirror, exposing our hidden pride, impatience, and need for recognition so God can heal us. -- Transformation is not about becoming a better version of ourselves, but about becoming more like Christ through the act of serving.

In this convicting message, William Miller unpacks the "Servolution" principle: Love Deep, Serve Well.

For service times and meeting location please visit https://transformtlh.com/ In "Love Deep. Serve Well." William Miller explores 1 Peter 4:8-11 to reveal how the early church turned the world upside down—not through flashy programs, but through radical love and intentional hospitality. This teaching challenges the "consumer" mindset of the modern church, reminding us that every believer is entrusted with unique resources and abilities intended for the benefit of others. Whether you are a natural communicator or a gifted "door holder," your service is the primary way the world experiences the grace of God. -- Your love must be deep and active, moving beyond polite handshakes to a "stretched" love that intentionally forgives and overlooks offenses. -- Biblical hospitality is generous and without grumbling, recognizing that a welcoming spirit can be the bridge between a hurting person and their salvation. -- Every single believer has a gift to serve; there are no "benchwarmers" in the Kingdom of God, regardless of age or background. -- True service isn't about personal recognition or platform elevation; the ultimate goal is that in all things, God may be praised through Jesus Christ. -- To serve well, we must rely on the strength God provides rather than our own fluctuating willpower or emotions.

For service times and meeting location please visit https://transformtlh.com/ Your Failure is Not Final In "Keep Swinging," Ryan Kramer tackles the universal feeling of wanting to give up when life—or our own bad decisions—hit us hard. Using the legendary persistence of Thomas Edison, the courage of Frederick Douglass, and the eventual success of Dr. Seuss, Kramer illustrates that failure is often the precursor to a world-changing breakthrough. However, the ultimate example of restoration is found in the life of the Apostle Peter, who went from violently weeping over his denial of Christ to leading the birth of the Church. This message is a call to anyone sitting on the sidelines to step back up to the plate. -- The danger of "following at a distance" where we believe in Jesus but are afraid to be identified with Him. -- How Jesus uses our moments of weakness to expose what is inside of us, not to discard us, but to prepare us. -- The profound grace found in the angel’s command to "go tell the disciples and Peter," proving that no one is excluded from the message of the resurrection. -- The "Babe Ruth" principle: why you cannot let your last strikeout define your career or your calling. -- A moving real-life testimony from Robert Hurado on how God transforms a life of violence and anger into one of compassion and peace.

Because generations that are divided lead to churches that are dead." — Chris Nelson Are we running a race or just holding a stick? In this high-energy message, Chris Nelson reveals the "underrated" secret to a thriving church: the baton exchange. If the handoff between generations fails, the race is over before it begins. Discover why the older generation isn't done yet, why the younger generation needs more than just a fast start, and how a single "to-go cup" philosophy could change the way you see ministry forever. +++++++ Join us for church this Sunday. For service times and meeting location please visit https://transformtlh.com/ One Body, One Mission: The Power of the Handoff In a world that loves to segment people by age, the church often falls into the trap of creating "silos." We have seniors in one corner and youth in another, but Chris Nelson argues that a divided church is a dying church. Using the imagery of an Olympic 4x1 relay, this teaching explores how the most critical moment of the race isn't the sprinting—it is the handoff. Whether you feel like your "season" is over or you are just getting started, there is a specific function only you can fulfill. This message is a call to action for every generation to lean in, share their valley stories, and commit to the long-term consistency required to leave a legacy. -- Every generation has a special gift and a specific function, much like different parts of a single human body, and we cannot function effectively if any part ceases to be engaged. -- Generational impact requires engagement, which means being open to different perspectives and choosing to listen even when things aren't flashy or fast-paced. -- We must prioritize sharing stories of lessons learned in the "valley" rather than just success stories from the "mountaintop," as mentorship is what prevents the next generation from repeating avoidable mistakes. -- Consistency is the mark of a "generational player," and like Noah building the ark for decades, our long-term faithfulness guarantees the safety and faith of those who follow us. -- Sacrifice is a daily decision to choose what is difficult now so that the reward can be reaped later, turning small, mundane acts into significant spiritual legacies. -- True impact is impossible without the power of God, and the unchangeable Word of God must remain the standard that unifies every age group.

Through stories of miracle baptisms at Florida State and mission trips to Honduras, Prewett illustrates that God isn't looking for a perfect pedigree; He's looking for a "yes." -- Obedience begins with the "Anything, Anywhere" prayer that moves us out of our comfort zones. -- Revival is not just for pastors or missionaries; it is a movement that requires every believer to be activated. -- To see others correctly, we must first accept how God sees us—as His unique, one-of-one masterpiece. -- The three-step process to seeing through His eyes involves abiding in Him, practicing unending forgiveness, and living in immediate obedience. -- God intentionally uses the unqualified and the ordinary so that He alone receives the glory for the extraordinary results.
