Drawing from biblical scripture, I explain that sickness and death were never God's intention but resulted from Adam and Eve's disobedience in the Garden of Eden. I highlight that Jesus' healing ministry demonstrates God's true will for us to live abundantly. Despite the pain of losing loved ones, I offer hope, reminding you that God has promised to ultimately destroy death and suffering. I encourage you to hold onto faith and live righteously according to God's will.

Using the beautiful analogy of pregnancy, I talk about how life starts at conception—long before anyone can see it—and how, in the same way, things begin in our minds before it shows up in our lives. Drawing inspiration from James 1:13-15 and Mark 11:24, I explore some reasons why our prayers might not always be answered, like lacking faith, God’s perfect timing, sin, wrong motives, or even answers that look different than we expect. Most importantly, I want to encourage you to align your beliefs with God’s will, so you can watch the impossible become possible in your own life!

I acknowledge that some leaders misuse funds but encourage you to give wisely rather than stop altogether. I emphasize that giving is not optional — it's a divine commandment, referencing Matthew 25's parable of the sheep and goats. I highlight that giving brings joy, fulfillment, and God's blessings in return, supported by Acts 20:35 and Luke 6:38. Even science backs the benefits of generosity. My challenge: give wisely, joyfully, and obediently.

I argue that this verse is commonly misinterpreted as prohibiting casual expressions like "oh my God," when it actually warns against invoking God's name to justify evil or falsely claiming His authority. Using the Good News Translation, I connect this passage to Jesus' teachings on blasphemy against the Holy Spirit (Matthew 12:31-32, Mark 3:29, Luke 12:10), explaining that both warn against misrepresenting God's work or attributing it to evil forces.

Drawing from Psalms, Isaiah, Daniel, Ezekiel, Jeremiah, and John, I challenge the common church misconception that prayer itself compels God to act. Instead, I argue that God's responses are rooted in His character, faithfulness, and desire to uphold His glory. I encourage you to deepen your understanding of God's nature and His motivations for acting on our behalf.

I explain that God's kingdom operates "upside down"—where humility leads to greatness, weakness brings strength, suffering produces joy, and life is found through death. Drawing on Scripture, I challenge you to embrace these counterintuitive principles by surrendering pride, control, and self-interest. I emphasize that true transformation happens through surrender, and that only by losing ourselves in God do we discover the life we were created to live.

]]> Mon, 20 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0200 Saul Loubassa Saul Loubassa 461 In this episode I explore 1 John 2:6, which calls us to live as Jesus did. I clarify that this instruction should be taken seriously, not literally — meaning we aren't expected to replicate Jesus's every action, like walking everywhere or wearing sandals. Instead, the focus is on obeying God's commandments and reflecting Christ's righteousness in daily life. I emphasize that we are called to live our own lives according to God's will, following Jesus's teachings rather than imitating His specific actions.

Drawing from Psalm 103:2, Mark 10:45, and the Last Supper account, I remind you of Jesus' ultimate act of love as a ransom for humanity. Using the parable of the Unforgiving Servant (Matthew 18:23-35), I warn against forgetting God's mercy, which leads to unforgiveness and worldly conformity. I encourage you to honor Christ's sacrifice by living transformed lives, forgiving others, and resisting the patterns of this world.

Opening with a moving story about a woman who broke down during a CPR training after losing her mother to a heart attack, I draw a powerful parallel: just as lacking physical knowledge can cost lives, lacking spiritual knowledge is equally deadly. Drawing from scriptures including Isaiah, 1 John, and the Gospels, I challenges you to move beyond simply knowing of and about Jesus toward genuine knowledge of him which implies obedience to his teachings and commandments.

I argue that God’s will is clearly revealed in Scripture and encourage you to focus on following biblical teachings rather than seeking secret guidance through prayer or fasting. Using biblical examples, I explain that if God has a specific task for you, He will communicate it directly. I urge you to avoid overthinking God’s will and instead live faithfully according to what has already been revealed in the Bible.

I discuss common barriers like sin, wrong motives, and lack of faith, but emphasize that God’s answers may come in unexpected forms or timing. Using the metaphor of receiving ingredients instead of a finished loaf of bread, I encourage you to recognize and act on the answers God provides, even if they differ from your expectations. I highlight the importance of persistence, openness, and faith, urging you to reconsider how you perceive God’s responses to your prayers.
