In par 3 of our “Going All In” series, we dive deeply into the transformative power of intimacy with God and how it is central to our walk of faith. This episode explores the profound connection between enduring trials and maintaining a posture of listening to the Holy Spirit. We unpack Matthew 11:15 from The Message Translation, where Jesus asks, “Are you listening to me? Really listening to me?” This verse becomes a grounding point in the midst of life’s storms, reminding us to center ourselves in the voice of God rather than the clamor of our circumstances. The episode highlights the importance of remaining tuned into the Spirit, even when fear and doubt seem louder than God’s promises.
In This Episode, We Explore:
- The Core of Intimacy with God: Understanding that intimacy with God is the essence of eternal life and the gospel itself. It’s about accessing His heart, thoughts, and emotions.
- The Importance of Listening: Drawing from Matthew 11:15, we discuss how staying attentive to the Holy Spirit is crucial for navigating trials and achieving victory.
- Scriptural Insights from James: James’ teaching on how temptations and contradictions are designed to shift us from peace to despair, and how joy in our true identity can lead us out triumphantly.
- The Battle for Righteousness: Reflecting on personal testimony and the revelation that our righteousness in Christ is a free gift, not earned through performance.
- The Role of Faith in Contradictions: How trials test our belief in the gospel and our identity in Christ, and why we must cling to the truth of who we are in Him.
Going All In, part 3 challenges us to remain grounded in our identity as new creations in Christ, regardless of external pressures. By listening to God’s voice and embracing our righteousness, we can navigate life’s contradictions with confidence. Tune in to hear more about how to practically apply these truths in your daily life and strengthen your intimacy with God.
