URGENT! ARE WE ASHAMED? [EP. 009]

Spirit of Adoption Radio

Boldness & the Gospel:

If not us…. then who?

If not now… then when?

How can we be a LIGHT in these DARK days?

Listen and Be Encouraged.

We still carry the most Powerful Message in the Universe!

Daniel 12:3

“Those who are wise shall shine Like the brightness of the firmament, And those who turn many to righteousness Like the stars forever and ever.”

Our daughter Faith is great at finding creative ways to share her Faith

Here she is with Sidewalk Chalk… 

 

Our family enjoys taking gospel bike rides together with our sign that says “Jesus Died for you on the Cross.”

We have had good and bad reactions, but our goal is to shine the light, so we have joy in doing this no matter the outcome!

 

Let’s get out and let the gospel LIGHT shine through us in these dark days we are living in.  

Let’s go out into the highways and byways and invite them to come to Jesus for Salvation!

See a New Gospel Sign We are Printing for Bringing out to the streets!

Great Gospel Tract Resource

Revelation 22:17

And the Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” And let him who thirsts come.

Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely.

Big and Little Things [Ep. 008]

Spirit of Adoption Radio

Big and Little Things

Does God really Care?

We Invite you to know.

Looking and Listening to the small things of God can show us that He truly is still in control and caring for all things Big and small and especially in His children’s lives.

The Big things in life can seem to be out of control but the Lord is still in control, and He’s still in the very smallest of details…

Meet the Regier family…

After more than 72 hours of waiting for an impossible flight out of Uganda during COVID-19, this Adoption Airfare® family, the Regier’s, hit a point of surrender.

Hear their amazing story.

Episode Highlight Verses:

1 Kings 19:11-12
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; and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice.

Luke 12:4-7
“And I say to you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear Him who, after He has killed, has power to cast into hell; yes, I say to you, fear Him!
 “Are not five sparrows sold for two copper coins? And not one of them is forgotten before God. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.

Little Things…

Reigning In the Heart [Ep. 007]

Spirit of Adoption Radio

A Changed Heart…

Can Change a Life.

Impact The World.

Meet Kyle…

“Jesus, Come into my heart.  I don’t want to live like this anymore.”

~Kyle Smith

Kyle was playing a hand-pan drum on the street corner and our meeting together was a pivotal point of change from darkness to light in his life. 

Learn how he went from New Age influencer to Jesus follower and influencer for the Kingdom of God after a very important conversation.

Kyle shares this beautiful testimony and we explore together the matters of the heart that brought him to find the greatest love of all of life, Jesus Christ! 

Ezekiel 36:26

“I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.”

 

 

This special encounter with Kyle occurred on Kevin’s spiritual birthday, September 25 2019.

I was praying specifically that day, that the Lord would bring a soul into the Kingdom on Kevin’s Spiritual Birthday and look what happened!

We met Kyle in Salem, Oregon and Salem means “Peace” or “Shalom”.

This sort of peace is only possible through Jesus Christ.

Ephesians 3: 17-19

“That Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.”

 

Can you see the Hebrew Letter “Shin?”

We will learn about the Hebrew letter Shin and how it is secretly hidden in the human heart, on almost every doorpost in Israel, and in a very special formation of three valleys in the heart of Jerusalem! 

Learn what is special about this Hebrew letter and how it is in the center of some very important words and names.  

 

Tribute to Joyce Lin – MAF Pilot

Joyce gave her Life for the Lord last week on May 13th, 2020 as she was flying to deliver COVID-19 Tests

to a remote village of Indonesia.

Her story will remain written on the hearts of those who loved her.

The Battle of Champions [Ep. 006]

Spirit of Adoption Radio

Impossibility to Victory!

Meet the Champions…

“What would you be willing to do to save a life?”

-Chris Champion

When faced with the impossible task of going to China during COVID-19 to bring home their son, our Adoption Airfare® clients, the Champion family, stood in the face of fear and God made a way where there seemed to be no way.

When everyone else went out, they went in.

Hear their amazing story and learn about the several examples in the Bible of those who also faced impossible challenges and came out victorious because God was on their side.

This family’s Highlight Verse & Episode Highlight Verse:

Matthew 19:23-26
“Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Assuredly, I say to you that it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.
And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”
When His disciples heard it, they were greatly astonished, saying,
“Who then can be saved?”
But Jesus looked at them and said to them,
“With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

The Champion Family with their new son, Luke!

Hear a Special Song that helped them through:

[Kari Jobe – The Blessing]

Jeremiah 33:3
‘Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.’

Are you facing circumstances of impossibility in your life?

Are you tired of fighting a losing battle?

Be sure to listen to the end. 

This episode is rich with insights into the real spiritual battle, and how we can have a sure win if we keep pressing on to the finish line.

Quotes from Eric Liddell:

 “It has been a wonderful experience to compete in the Olympic Games (1924) and to bring home a gold medal. But since I have been a young lad, I have had my eyes on a different prize.

You see, each one of us is in a greater race than any I have run in Paris, and this race ends when God gives out the medals.”

“Many of us are missing something in life because we are after the second best.”

 “The secret of my success over the 400 meters is that I run the first 200 meters as hard as I can. Then, for the second 200 meters, with God’s help, I run harder.”

…..And Eric Liddell kept running hard for the Lord, all the way to China!!!!

 “God made me for China.”

 “Christ for the world, for the world needs Christ!”

“Gallows” 

[Watch Here on YouTube]

Someone’s on the prowl, trying to take us down But we ain’t giving up now
A liar and a thief, coming after you and me But we ain’t giving up now
The harder the wind will blow, the deeper our roots will go, And the devil’s gonna hang, oh the devil is gonna hang, The devil is gonna hang from his own gallows

Though the waters try to down, and the flames they surround oh We ain’t giving up now
Even though we may tread through the valley of death oh We ain’t giving up now
The harder the wind will blow, the deeper our roots will go, And the devil’s gonna hang, oh the devil is gonna hang, The devil is gonna hang from his own gallows

If you’re stumbling in the dark, run your hands against the walls Find every window, every door, throw them open, throw them open In will flood a blinding light, and it will chase away the night Even if you shield your eyes, let it pour in, let it pour in

Tears to be Treasured [Ep. 004]

Spirit of Adoption Radio

Worthless Tears…? Or Precious Tears?

In this episode…

S.O.A.R. with us as we reminisce about moments in our lives when tears were sown in one season of life, and worked into a testimony of praise in a later season.  In this episode, we explore topics related to the Holocaust.  We will also hear from John and Terina Dutton from Athletes for the Nations and One Heart Collective.  Hear the story of how God led them to Croatia on a sports mission, but fulfilled a deeper calling than they understood at the time.  Hear how they had to leave early to make it out before the COVID-19 shutdown, but all was not lost or wasted.

God will redeem all of the tears and prayers of His people in His time.

Psalm 126:5-6
Those who sow in tears Shall reap in joy.
He who continually goes forth weeping, Bearing seed for sowing,
Shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, Bringing his sheaves with him.

“The Fountain of Tears”

Rick Wienecke, Artist/Sculptor

Learn More Here

 

[Depicted Here and in the link above]

“A Dialog of Suffering Between the Holocaust and the Crucifixion”

Seven sculptured relief panels reflecting the last seven utterances from the crucifixion . . . Seven life size bronze figures symbolizing the response and reflection of the Holocaust . . . Six pillars of stone for a memorial to the six million perished.

The Fountain of Tears is based on the verses of Jeremiah, “Oh Lord that my head were a spring of water and my eyes a fountain of tears that I would weep day and night for the lost of my people.”  This was a cry and prayer from Jeremiah, and it is also my prayer that the Lord God would remember the six million and pay back all that was taken from this people as a result of the Holocaust.

 

Be encouraged to overcome and SOAR above all of the darkness of this world, and focus on God’s eternal Kingdom!

Jeremiah 9:1, 17-18
1 Oh, that my head were waters, And my eyes a fountain of tears,
That I might weep day and night For the slain of the daughter of my people!
17 Thus says the Lord of hosts: “Consider and call for the mourning women,
That they may come; And send for skillful wailing women,
That they may come. 18 Let them make haste And take up a wailing for us,
That our eyes may run with tears, And our eyelids gush with water.

Luke 19:41-44
Now as He drew near, He saw the city and wept over it, 42 saying, “If you had known, even you, especially in this your day, the things that make for your peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes. For days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment around you, surround you and close you in on every side, and level you, and your children within you, to the ground; and they will not leave in you one stone upon another, because you did not know the time of your visitation.”

Matthew 5:4
Blessed are those who mourn, For they shall be comforted.
