The Lines Have Fallen For Me In Pleasant Places: An Interview With Daniel Baker

In this episode we sat down with Daniel Baker to discuss what God is doing in his life. 

Daniel is currently in Bible school studying missionary. Daniel emphasized that apart from the Holy Spirit our work is vain. So with the guidance of the Lord through His Spirit, Daniel is one in this generation who desires to have the Lord write a story of a life that emulate the life of Jesus. 

The lines have fallen for Daniel in pleasant places. Tune in to hear why.

Scriptures discussed: Psalm 16, Malachi 3:16, John 14:26.

When God Hides His Face; He Is In The Silence.

Does God hide His face? We see multiple times in the Bible, God’s people brings to attentionsGod’s face being hidden. For Example David said in Psalm 13:1 “How long, O Lord? Will you forget me former? How long will You hide Your face from me?”

David is not alone, Job and even the Lord Jesus felt forsaken by God. 

God is in the silence, for Jesus said in Matthew 28, He is with us always. 

Scriptures discussed: Isaiah 49:16, Romans 8:31-39, Matt 27:46,  Isaiah 43:2, Job 23:8-10, Psalm 139,  Matt 5:8. Psalm 30:7, Psalm 89:46, Job 13:24, 2 Chron 32:31

In Deep Lost & Hurts; God Is God. Can We Love God Without The Material Blessings?

Like  Naomi and Job, the Christian can experience deep lost and hurts. This is a reality for the Christian Journey. When you actually lost everything God is God and remains.  Can we love God for Himself? 

Scripture Discussed Psalm 77, Habakkuk 3:17, The book of Job, the book of Ruth, 2 Corinthian 1:8-11, Proverbs 25:2, 2 Timothy 3:16, 1 John 4:1.

Why Did Jesus Die?

,

Why did Jesus die?

We were made to commune with God, disobedient to God (sin) interfered with Men communing with God. God not willing to permanently part with His image made a way to reinstate our communion through the death of Jesus Christ Who was sinless.

For He has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son He loves, in Whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. Colossians 1:13-14

And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world. 1 John 2:2

Jesus died for “the forgiveness of our sins.”

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16

Humanity was perishing because of sin and God because of a crazy love for His creations gave His sinless Son Jesus to die so men can reunite with Him (Hebrews 4:​15.).

Men's problem is sin (separation from God).

Our sins, my and your sin is the reason Jesus died.

...O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death?I thank God—through Jesus Christ our Lord! ...Romans 7:24-25

Everything else we enjoy as believers is the icing on the cake, but the forgiveness of sin, redemption is the cake.

See Romans 5:​19, Romans 6:​23, Ephesians 1:7, 1 John 2:2, Romans 5:​12, Romans 5:​21, Romans 7:18-23, Luke 4:18

A State Of Peace Or Turbulence? My Peace I Leave With You: If It Was Not So, I Would Not Have Told You.

, ,

A State of Peace or Turbulence? You choose. You decide.

Which one do you want?

As Christians, we can have peace amid turbulent circumstances.

...If it was not so, I would not tell you... said Jesus in John 14:2. While Jesus' statement concerning this declaration was that In His Father's house there are many mansions and He was going to prepare a place for those who have run to Him for refuge; Jesus told us another statement in John 16:33 that if it was not true, He would not tell it."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."

Fear not, for I Am with you; be not dismayed, for I Am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand. Isaiah 41:10

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you. For I Am the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior...Isaiah 43:2-3

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

If it was not so Jesus/God wouldn't tell us that.

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; Philippians 4:6

Casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.1 Peter 5:7

God Is Not In A Panic: How Is It In Heaven, The Christian's Future Home

,

Anxiety in a man's heart weighs him down, but a good word makes him glad. Proverbs 12:25


How is it in heaven, the Christian’s future home?

God is not in a panic

“Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!” Psalm 46:10

Tune in as we discuss
The sovereignty of God. Concerning His people and the world He created. Jesus is really in control.

...Thy will be done on earth as it is done in heaven.Matthew 6:10. How is it in heaven today? See Psalm 2 and Job 38:4-7
Rom 8.33-37, Phil 4:4-7, James 1:2, psalm 37:1-4, psalm 27:3

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6

For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control. 2 Timothy 1:7

Hold to God’s Unchanging Hand

Dream With God ...

,


(Imagine Job's loses and God still gave him a future)


...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. See also Genesis 37, specifically, verses 5-11 an example of God revealing His heart to Joseph.

At what point do you stop dreaming?

For in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also His offspring.’ Acts 17:28

Anyone who is among the living has hope --even a live dog is better off than a dead lion! Ecclesiastes 9:4. Also see Joshua 14, specifically, verses 6-14 to see Caleb's example of dreaming with God Still at 85 years old.

Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a dream fulfilled is a tree of life. Proverbs 13:12

What are the dreams planted by God in your heart? Has God changed His mind about people reaching out to Him via prayer so He can reveal His heart in their hearts? Is prayer still relevant in our lives? Is it optional or a lifeline?

See Nehemiah 1:5-11, Nehemiah 7:5-7, Nehemiah 2:12

It is not over!

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.

Tune in and be encouraged to dream with God in this season of your life.

God Knows You And Loves You! Psalm 139

, , ,

God says what He means and He means what He says.

It is to the benefit of the Christian to believe what God says.

We know that the Bible/Scripture is God's Word dictated to men for penning. All Scripture is given by inspiration of God...2 Timothy 3:16

As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is My word that goes out from My mouth: It will not return to Me empty (void) but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it. Isaiah 55:10-11

What God says through the psalmist in Psalm 139 is what God means concerning the ones who have taken refuge in Jesus.

The Lord knows you and is acquainted with you and desires to take your hands and walk with you in this life, in this season.

Tune in and let us discuss Psalm 139!

The Grace Conversation: God's Grace Is Fundamental To The Christian

,

The grace conversation...

God's grace is fundamental to the Christian and his/her walk with the Lord. It is the oxygen that gives us the ability to still be considered holy while we proceed to die to the flesh daily.

One of our hosts was thinking about God's wonderful gift of grace this week. That while we were yet sinners He sent His only Son to die so that we might live. We did not deserve or earn this gift. He gave it to us freely.

Romans 3: 23-24 declares, ...All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Being justified freely by His grace thru the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.

Ephesians 2:8-9 says, For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.

What does the grace of God mean in our lives? How are we living?

In Isaiah 43:25, God says. I, yes I alone will blot out your sins for My sake and will never think of them again.

Does knowing that as Christians we are redeemed give us a license to sin because we know or believe God will forgive us? How does God's grace work in our lives?

There are so many aspects to it. What is grace exactly, what does it do, what does it look like and what is its purpose?

The Bible answers all these questions. See Titus 2:11-14, Acts 2:38, Acts 3:19, Luke 13:3, Romans 6:4, Matthew 3:8, 2 Peter 3:9, John 3: 5,16, 2 Timothy 1:9, Galatians 5:13-26 and Proverbs 24:16

Grace saves and enables us to live the life of godliness we are called to live after accepting Jesus Christ.

To understand grace, we must understand repentance, the life we are called to live, and the purpose of grace.

Confidence And Faith In God Can Help Us Maintain Peace While Transitioning From Seasons To Seasons

,

In this podcast The Living Epistle Project Radio Program discussed “Confidence And Faith In God Can Help Us Maintain Peace While Transitioning From Seasons To Seasons.”

To everything, there is a season, A time for every purpose under the heaven. Ecclesiastes 3:1

Transition, transition!

If you were given life, from the day you were born you have been transitioning. The human has transitioned from childhood to adolescence to adulthood and to old age. We have also transitioned through other matters in life such as education, career, parenting, health, success, failure, and more.

The Christian is not exempt from transitioning from one point to another. Sometimes we transition to what we perceive as a good or bad season. 

In 1 Kings 17, Elijah transitioned from hiding in a cave; whereby, he was fed by a raven ordered by God to feed him, given a brook by God for water to receive meals from a widow he didn't know. 

God can more than get us from one season to another. Our confidence and faith in God can help us maintain peace while we transition from one season to another.

When Leaders Stop Leading And Become Followers: It’s like the sheep leading the shepherd

In this podcast the Living Epistle Project Radio Program discussed "When leaders stop leading and become followers! It’s like the sheep leading the shepherd."

Exodus 32:1-6 *Golden Calf*

The Israelites demanded Aaron build a god - Aaron made a golden calf out of their gold Jewelry.

This is similar to the dire times we currently find ourselves in; where church leaders tailor their sermons according to the temperature and likes of the congregation, instead of preaching just on the Word of God.

Have the leaders become followers of spiritual babes?

See 2 Timothy 4:1-5 See Exodus 32 See Joshua 24:15

,

Storms? Jesus Is The Master Of Them.

,

Storms? If you are alert today, you will notice this season is storm-filled.

Thinking a lot about the storms that are upon us, which brought up the story of "Jesus calming of the storm" in Matthew 8:23–27, Mark 4:35–41, and Luke 8:22–25.

The disciples thought many thoughts, including questioning whether or not Jesus cared for their wellbeing.

As He concerned Himself with the wellbeing of the disciples in their storm, Jesus, our Anchor is concerned about us His followers.

And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Matthew 10:30

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. John 16:33

For I know that my Redeemer lives, And He shall stand at last on the earth. Job 19:25

I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust. Psalm 91:2

He got up, rebuked the wind, and said to the waves, "Quiet! Be still!" Then the wind died down and it was completely calm. Mark 4:39

That Beautiful House On The Sand

During the Living Epistle Project Radio Program live on the Power of Worship Radio! We discussed "That beautiful house on the sand."

Today we see many "talented" people in the church with great spiritual skills. But as time pass or when push comes to shove, they don't side with God's word.

Let us examine ourselves to make sure our beautiful house is not built on sand but on the rock.

"Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.

But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash."Matthew 7:24-27

Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you--unless, of course, you fail the test? 2 Corinthians 13:5

See Matthew 13:24-30 for the parable of the sower/the wheat and the tares.

See the story of Judas Iscariot in the Bible. He had skills. He was the treasurer of Jesus' ministry and we know how his story ended.

Tell Me What I Want To Hear Or Tell Me The Word of God: Do We/You Really Know The Word of God?

,

During this difficult time, we see a lack of biblical understanding among the Church. We want to encourage sincere believers to stay with God and not move with culture.

For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. Timothy 4:3-4.

Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 2 Timothy 2:15.
