Are we Hungry Enough? [Ep. 47]

Spirit of Adoption Radio

Are we hungry enough to fast and pray?

Give and it Shall be Given…

Fasting helps us know the will of God. Fasting is an important part of following Jesus that we’re not always hungry for.  When we add fasting to our praying, the Lord blesses it in many ways, sometimes even unexpected ways.  In this episode, we share a couple personal testimonies of times when God used fasting and prayer to bring about mini-revivals in our own lives as we have been walking with Him.

Matthew 6:16-18

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.

Fasting is an effective way to truly humble ourselves in the sight of the Lord.

Ezra 8:21

21 Then I proclaimed a fast there at the river of Ahava, that we might humble ourselves before our God, to seek from Him the right way for us and our little ones and all our possessions.

*… Fasting increases our hunger for God and our faith in God… There’s a principle in scripture of how decrease can bring increase… We must decrease in order for Him to increase in our lives… Drawing away from food and drawing nearer to God allows Him to increase in us and feed our souls… When we give more of ourselves to God, He gives more of Himself to us… “Give and it shall be given” Are we hungry enough to fast and pray?

The Best Defense [Ep. 43]

Spirit of Adoption Radio

Defend Ourselves?

or Let God be our Defense?

People try to shield and defend themselves against so many things, but man’s very best defenses will always fail in some way.  Only God can defend us perfectly.
Genesis 15:1
1 After these things the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision, saying, “Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward.”
2 Samuel 22:1-4
1 Then David spoke to the LORD the words of this song, on the day when the LORD had delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul.
2 And he said: “The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer…
3 The God of my strength, in whom I will trust; My shield and the horn of my salvation, My stronghold and my refuge; My Savior, You save me from violence.
4 I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised; So shall I be saved from my enemies.
These are shields in God’s creation that are available to everyone, but the Greatest Shield is only provided to those who belong to Jesus….
Psalms 18:35
35 You have also given me the shield of Your salvation.

YES I WILL [EP. 42]

Spirit of Adoption Radio

Are you Willing?…

To be Willing?

On today’s show we will talk a little about the will.  God has a perfect will for each one of us, but then what about our choices? How do choices affect the will of God?  Many times throughout the Bible, we see examples of people who are willing or unwilling to obey God and the consequences.  Then we also see many examples of God being willing to move on behalf of someone. There are so many beautiful examples of us being willing and God also being willing or unwilling.  It’s really exciting to know how intimately He cares for the details of our lives and how He desires to be involved, to be sought out, and to move on our behalf in so many ways.
Romans 12:2
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.
2 Peter 3:9
9 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.
In the Bible, the “I Wills” & Willingness of God towards us is so amazing.
Matthew 11:28
Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Mark 1:17
Follow Me, and I will make you become fishers of men.
God wants all to be in His perfect Will, but He requires Willing hearts from all…

His Eye is on the Sparrow [EP. 41]

Spirit of Adoption Radio

Are you Trusting?…

Leaning on His Heart?…

On today’s show we want to discuss the tiny and insignificant sparrow, and this will dovetail into a discussion about things that last and never fail…
Also, today we have…  Another exciting episode of the Faith Report!

Matthew 6:26
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?

Here’s a little bird quiz: What are the 4 most often mentioned birds in God’s Word?…
#1 Doves (47 Times) #2 Eagles & Owls (27 Times)
#3 Ravens (11 Times) #4 Sparrows (7 Times) …….

– The Hebrew word for sparrow is “tzippor”,which not only means sparrow, but any small bird… Sparrows, in biblical times, were held in contempt by the people… They had very little worth and were even thought to be annoying…But God sees differently…

Matthew 10:27-31
27 “Whatever I tell you in the dark, speak in the light; and what you hear in the ear, preach on the housetops.
28 And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
29 Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will.
(Luke 12:6 “Are not five sparrows sold for two copper coins? And not one of them is forgotten before God.)
30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
31 Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.

Behold the Lamb [EP. 40]

Spirit of Adoption Radio

Passover

What is the significance?

Passover was God’s initiative, and he devised each detail of it on purpose. As Believers, are we missing out on things from the roots of our faith because we see them as traditions of man? God’s festivals were deliberately created to help us appreciate more about God’s plan of redemption.  Where do these festivals come from?  What is the significance biblically?  Why do many Christians still celebrate Easter on a different day than Passover? Let’s dive into the roots of these holidays and learn more about them.  But let’s not just learn about them…

Let’s endeavor to know and to

Behold the Lamb of God as we learn more.

John 1:29
The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold!

The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!

John said BEHOLD the Lamb! LOOK to Christ!

Have you done that?

Maybe you’ve been looking at other people!

Isaiah 45:22
Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.

* ARE YOU DOING WHAT JOHN THE BAPTIST SAID… ARE YOU BEHOLDING THE LAMB!… YOU KNOW, WE CAN LOOK AT A LOT OF THINGS IN THIS LIFE THAT DONT PRODUCE LIFE…

– BUT AS MOSES SAID ABOUT SERPENT ON THE POLE AND ISAIAH SAID… LOOK AT YESHUA AND LIVE!!!… AND THAT THIEF ON THE CROSS LOOKED AND LIVED…

AND JESUS SAID IF I BE LIFTED UP ON THE CROSS, I WILL DRAW ALL PEOPLE TO MYSELF……

TURN YOUR EYES UPON JESUS……

GO! [Ep. 39]

Spirit of Adoption Radio

Jesus Commands us…

to GO!

God calls His people to Go on with Him into foreign lands, & not stay back in the same place where they began… We have a Great cloud of witnesses who have Gone before us into these lands…

They obeyed the call to GO, and their testimony helps us to do the same.

JESUS COMMANDS US TO GO SONG (by Keith Green)

And when we obey…

He is working with us.

SAMUEL MORRIS TORCHLIGHTER – WATCH FULL EPISODE

Acts 9:11
11 So the Lord said to him, “Arise and Go to the street called Straight, and inquire at the house of Judas for one called Saul of Tarsus, for behold, he is praying.

* We know in Mark 16:15 He sends us to Go preach the gospel to every creature, but it says something very important in Mark 16:20….

Mark 16:20
20 And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs. Amen.

If the demons obey…

How much MORE should we?..

Luke 8:31
31 And they begged Him that He would not command them to Go out into the abyss.
Mark 5:19-20
19 However, Jesus did not permit him, but said to him, “Go home to your friends, and tell them what great things the Lord has done for you, and how He has had compassion on you.”
20 And he departed and began to proclaim in Decapolis all that Jesus had done for him; and all marveled.

Demons shouldn’t obey God more than us…. Let’s be like the man who was healed… Jesus commands us to Go…

Can I See Your ID? + Amazing Interview with Sasha Carpenter, Abortion Survivor & Adoptee from Russia! [EP. 38]

Spirit of Adoption Radio

Who are you?

What is the definition of you?

If you were in the dictionary who would it say you are? Who you are goes with you no matter where you go or what you do. Knowing who you really are is directly connected to knowing whose you really are, and who you belong to. In this episode we interview with Sasha Carpenter, an adoptee from Russia, who found her birth family and not only is that a huge part of her story, she also found that she was the survivor of an abortion. Her story of identity in Christ, victory, and overcoming many challenges she faced, is a huge testimony of God’s amazing and incredible grace upon our lives.
Who our spiritual Father is, not our biological father, defines who we are and the motives behind what we do.

Meet Sasha:

Ephesians 2:10
10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

You will be inspired and encouraged.  Please listen to the end and share with someone else who may be facing challenges with understanding their own identity.

Be encouraged. Be blessed. Share the blessing.

Going Through Door Number One [EP. 37]

Spirit of Adoption Radio

Doors…

God Opens.

God Closes.

Do you remember the old game show “Let’s Make a Deal”?  This old game show is a picture of how disappointing it can be when we place our hope in the things of this world and the enemy’s empty promises.  When God opens a door for us, it is not always easy and sometimes requires sacrifice on our end, but it is amazing and we are never ending up with a bad deal like the fake money offered behind the wrong door in the game show.  We must take the first step to go through door #1, but then He continues opening doors for us all the way into eternity.  Watch how He will rebuke the Red Sea in your life as you come to Him
Psalm 106:9
9 He rebuked the Red Sea also, and it dried up; So He led them through the depths, As through the wilderness.
John 10:9
I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.

“Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I say to you, will seek to enter and will not be able. When once the Master of the house has risen up and shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and knock at the door, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open for us,’ and He will answer and say to you, ‘I do not know you, where you are from,’

God is Working in the Waiting [EP. 36]

Spirit of Adoption Radio

Waiting on God.

Tests our Love.

Tests our Faith.

Do you ever feel as though you are in the Lord’s waiting room? Oftentimes waiting upon God is not easy and requires testing of our faith, our love, and more. It’s important that we don’t let this world squeeze us into its mold… The world system is conditioning us to want everything easier and faster, but the Lord works on a very different timetable. Waiting reveals our lack of control and helps us understand that the Lord is in charge, and we aren’t…. It helps us give up our ideas of His perfect timing and actually wait for what His perfect timing is….
Psalms 121:3-4
3 He will not allow your foot to be moved; He who keeps you will not slumber.
4 Behold, He who keeps Israel Shall neither slumber nor sleep.

James 1:3-4
3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.
4 But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.

Psalms 31:14-15
14 But as for me, I trust in You, O LORD; I say, “You are my God.”
15 My times are in Your hand; Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, and from those who persecute me.
