Ep 21 - Dining with Judas

Ep 24 - Forgive Ourselves

Have you been called a liar? It’s not very pleasant to hear. God wouldn’t like it if we called Him a liar especially when God is the fullness of truth. If we claim that we are without sin, the Truth is not within us; if we do so we are calling God a liar.  Oftentimes, we find ourselves encountering the judgment of man; we forget that we have received the mercy of God. Through the Sacrament of Reconciliation, we receive the mercy of God, not once but several times. The forgiveness of God gives us the courage to forgive ourselves. This same courage allows us to forgive others.

Ep 23 - Alone with God

Loneliness is the scourge of today’s society; many of us suffer from this loneliness. Jesus felt alone and deprived of the presence of God when He was dying on the Cross. If sin comes into our life, we will not feel the presence of God and we will feel alone. Joseph of the Old Testament was sold to slavery, falsely accused, and imprisoned for what seemed like an eternity. He was alone, misunderstood, accused, and reviled; how did he survive alone? Mother Mary’s fiat would also mean that she would probably have to walk her path alone. Daniel was thrown into a pit of hungry lions. Joseph, Mary, and Daniel were able to remain alone in peace and undisturbed because they chose to be alone with God. They knew that God was with them. The key to handling loneliness is to walk with God and to know that He is with us in the loneliness.

Ep 22 - Am I Driving Backwards?

God calls us, He anoints us, prepares us, and sends us. The call of God is irrevocable and the anointing of God is a grace given to people - a supernatural grace to do supernatural things in supernatural ways. This anointing is given to all Christians and it should move us to the will of God and the ways of God. Jesus is the best example of this grace. Very often, after we drive toward Him, we start driving backward. Disobedience to the will of God comes into our lives; when this happens, satan is able to attack. The smallest of sins will give way for satan to come in. We must only use the things of this world for the sole purpose of answering God’s call and doing God’s will. He anoints you to do His will and the smallest sin can taint it. We must have a singular purpose, a purpose of glorifying the Lord in all that we do. Be faithful to God’s call; guard your anointing.

Ep 21 - Dining with Judas

As humans, we avoid those who are unpleasant and cause us distress but, Jesus asks us to love those who hate us, bless those who curse us and pray for those who persecute us. Jesus also loved all those who persecuted Him, especially Judas who betrayed Him with a kiss. So, how could the all-knowing Jesus handle this? Jesus opened His heart to Judas, dined with Him, and loved Him despite knowing that Judas would betray Him with a kiss. If Jesus could do this, then we are non-exempt from living the Scripture the way He did. We too have to learn to “dine with Judas.”  God has prepared a “Judas” in all our lives and our lives will be blessed because of this. We are called to be like our Heavenly Father when this “Judas” comes into our lives. Episode Breakdown: 03.37 - Dining with Judas 06.22 - The Judas in Our Life 08.56 - Live the Will of the Father 10.19 - Called to Divine Love 12.22 - Seeking God’s Help Bible Reference: * Mathew 5 - “Love those who hate you…” Unusual solutions to unusual problems; because we have an unusual God and we are unusual people.

Ep 20 - Are You God’s Choice?

God sends the prophet Samuel to the house of Jesse to find a person to become the King of Israel. Interestingly, none of the older sons of Jesse, who were strong and prominent were chosen; David who was not even worthy in the eyes of his father became worthy in the eyes of God. God's choice is different from that of the whole. In the Bible, we see many such examples: His disciples who were to follow Him, the prophets who were chosen to lead God’s people… They might not be the best person for the job but God calls them. God chooses those who desire Him above everything else, those who are willing to give up everything to do the will of God. Are you God’s choice? Episode Breakdown: 01.48 - Choosing David 04.55 - Criteria of God’s Choice 07.12 - God Looks at the Heart 09.52 - Preparation for Grace 11.30 - A Trusting Heart Bible Reference: * 1 Samuel 16 - God sends Samuel to the house of Jesse to choose the future king of Israel * 1 Samuel 14 - God looks at the heart of a person * 1 Corinthians - God chooses the broken… Unusual solutions to unusual problems; because we have an unusual God and we are unusual people.
