What Does The Lord Say (wdtls) Podcast Site

Remember, to many, you are the closest reflection of God they'll ever see. Don't water down the truth or hide your faith. Stand strong, unshakeable on the foundation of God's Word. Don't let cultural trends or political pressures sway you. Seek God's wisdom to see the world through His eyes.  Love what He loves, and have the courage to stand firm when others falter.  We are rooted in truth, righteousness, and the unshakeable Word of God.  In a world increasingly divided by political factions, followers of faith must prioritize their beliefs over worldly allegiances. Our ultimate loyalty should lie not with political parties, social groups, or even nations, but with God. When asked which side or which way do you lean, our response should be... We Don’t Lean, We Stand!

Hold onto this, it's powerful! Malachi 3:10 reminds us God showers blessings, but guess what? He's made YOU a blessing too! We receive God's goodness not just for ourselves, but to overflow and bless others. We are truly blessed to be a blessing. Think about it: how can you be a vessel overflowing with God's love today? When was the last time you let His light shine through you to brighten someone's world? Remember, You Are A Blessing! pen_spark  

Join us as we discuss a key element to spiritual contentment and good success:  A Thankful Heart.   And there is ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS something to be Thankful for!  It’s hard to complain and murmur when your mouth is filled with praise.  Learn from the Israelites mistakes…. God did everything Israel needed Him to do.   He fought for them, He provided for them, He delivered them, He destroyed their enemies - yet they quickly forgot His miracles  They complained and were ungrateful.  He gave them what they asked for but it did not satisfy their desire.   Tune in to hear how Gratitude and Thankfulness can transform your heart, your mind and your life!

Following His glorious resurrection, for the next 40 days - Jesus showed Himself alive by many infallible proofs.   When God shows up, when God works it out, when God manifests His power in your life it will be undeniable, unquestionable and infallible!  Without a doubt you’ll know that it is God.   Even as you look back over your life, you can see His hand down through the years and testify that He has kept His promises.  And just like He did it before, (you may not know how and you may not know when, but)…. God will do it again – through Many Infallible Proofs!

50 days following the resurrection of Jesus, another great promise of God was fulfilled in Jerusalem – God poured out His Holy Spirit upon those assembled in the upper room.   With the outpour of His Spirit, He provided a Comforter, an Advocate, and a Teacher and He empowers us to fulfill His will in the earth.  The Holy Spirit prays through us when we don’t have words to say and He convicts us of sin, righteousness and judgement.  The Holy Spirit is God Himself living inside of us.   Pentecost not only represents the Birth of the modern day church, it is also the new birth of the believer through the outpour of God’s Spirit. Pentecost is a Celebration for every believer!

Jesus is the ONLY one who can boast that not ONE of ALL of His promises has ever fallen to the ground unfulfilled (Joshua 21:45).  He guards His word to perform it.  If He said it, He will do it and if He spoke it you can count it done  The redemptive plan of salvation was planned before the earth was formed.  The scriptures foretold the birth, the death, the resurrection and the return of Christ…. and it happened and will happen - Just Like He Said!  He routed the devil, defeated death, conquered sin, Just Like He Said.You can take courage and have confidence that All that God has promised you, will likewise happen, Just Like He Said!

Jesus came and destroyed the works of the devil and proclaimed that FROM THIS MOMENT ON, THINGS WILL CHANGE!  Jesus is the ultimate game changer!    The devil thought he was killing the Savior but what he didn’t know was that he was actually ushering in the will of God.   Not only did Jesus willing give His life but He got up with ALL power in His hands.  And that SAME power that raised Christ from the dead lives in YOU! (if you have given your life to Christ).   And if you haven’t, let today be your day.   When Jesus enters into your situation, His very presence is a game changer.  Invite Him in and experience His mountain moving, burden bearing, life changing intervention.   He permanently nail your sins and your defeats to the cross and He will change your life from the moment you invite Him in.  He is the Triumphant, Eternal King of Glory!

Sometimes we need a word of encouragement and a reminder that even though you may not yet see the manifestation of the promise of God, He WILL do what He said.   The bible admonishes us to be patient after we have done the Will of God so that we might obtain the promise.  This program continues where the previous one left off… All we need is the memory of a past Victory to propel us to our next Victory – It Won't Be Long Now!

Sometimes all you need is the memory of a victory to ignite your faith in God to believe for your current situation.  Lamentations 3 says ‘this I recall to mind (I remember) and therefore I have hope, it is God’s mercies that block the enemy from destroying me!’ When David was told that he was just a boy and could not possibly fight Goliath the giant, he remembered and testified that when he faced trouble God delivered the lion and the bear into his hands and surely God would deliver the giant.  And God did!  All David needed was a memory of a victory and down came the  Lion and bear and giant! Trust God... He can do ANYTHING!

The LORD whose name is Jealous is a Jealous God.   He requires that His people worship Him exclusively.  There are over 35 warnings in the old testament alone about believers sharing God’s glory with idols.  It is good that we ask God to search and cleanse our hearts.   It is needful that we examine ourselves and ensure that God is the center of our joy, the object of our worship and the only LORD on the throne of our hearts.  Anything that takes the place of God and becomes the most important focus in your life becomes an idol.  Let us tear down every idol and exalt and worship only the LORD God.   God is jealous for your affection, time, attention and love.  He’s given us His very best, we owe Him everything!

When the women went to the tomb to anoint the body of Jesus, the angel told them He is Not Here!  We do not want to be where the Presence and the Glory of God has departed.  God help us to remain spiritually in tune to discern Your voice, to sense Your presence and to depart from anything and any place where You no longer dwell. In God’s presence is the fullness of Joy.  He is the Truth and the Life.   God is not the author of confusion, in Him is no darkness at all….. where you see these things, you know that God is Not There!

The unjust judge parable teaches us many great life lessons.  One of the lessons is The Power of Persistence!  The judge decided to avenge the lady for no other reason but that she was beginning to weary him.  Jesus encourages us to be persistent, relentless, tenacious in our faith filled requests to God.  When was the last time that you wearied God?  When was the last time that you sought the Lord and refused to turn away until you had your request?  When was the last time you were Persistent through Faith in His Word or you refused to Quit even when it felt hopeless?   God will reward faith and perseverance.  There is Power in Persistence!

Psalms 81:10 says ‘…Open your mouth with a Mighty Decree, I will fulfill now you’ll see.  The words that you speak, so shall they be!’   When we stand in faith and make declarations according to the Word of God, He has promised to fulfill it.   We are believing God for a great outpouring and supernatural manifestation of His Spirit in 2024.  God is Exalted, the devil is defeated and we are Victorious through Jesus  We Decree and Declare that 2024 is the year that the Saints of God arise and reclaim what God has given to the Church!

We stand in awe at the immeasurable wisdom of God, the boundless depths of His knowledge, the expanse of His greatness….it is beyond our comprehension!  Yet with all of this splendor, God’s focus is on me.  He knows Everything there is to know about ME!   Of ALL of His creation, I am the best part.  It is no wonder that the bible constantly admonishes us to look to Him, Focus on Him, forget about ourselves and concentrate on Him.  Because when we do, we will find that what He does - all day long, is Concentrates on Me!   God Knows ALL about Me… and He loves me still.  Psalms 139 TPT

Jesus is the greatest gift ever given.  He paid a debt that He did not owe, we owed a debt that we could not pay, we needed someone to wash our sins away. And now we sing a brand new song - ‘Amazing Grace’, Christ Jesus freely paid the debt that we could never pay!  It is this great gift and unfathomable love that we celebrate during Christmas. Christmas is literally a Celebration of Christ. Today we celebrate Jesus because we are eternally grateful.  Merry Christmas!

We are in what is known as The Advent Season.  It commemorates the time when the world was in darkness and waiting with great expectation on the promised Messiah.  We now know who Jesus is!  Yet there are so many things we yet wait, with Great Expectation, for His intervention.  As you wait, we admonish you to wait in Faith with Great Expectations, trusting that just as He did and ALWAYS does, Jesus WILL show up for you!

Jesus:  King of kings and the Lord of lords.  The entire Bible is about Jesus.  He is pictured or prophesied about in each of the 66 books. He is the Greatest person in history.  He had no servants yet we call Him Master! He had no degree, yet He is the Greatest Teacher! He had no medicine, yet He is the Greatest Physician! He had no army, yet He is the Greatest King! He won no military battles, yet He conquered the World! He is the Prince of Peace, He is The King of kings and the LORD of lords! We call Him Jesus!

Often during life’s most difficult times, it may look like you are surrounded by those who oppose you but when you look through the eyes of faith you will see that you are surrounded by the army of God and Greater is He that is for you and with you than all those who oppose you. God has not given you a spirit of fear.  Stand in faith, resolute, determined and undeterred and watch God deliver you. Speak to your trouble, your enemy and your test and proclaim what David proclaimed over the Philistine giant:   I may be small, I may seem defenseless, but I Come in the Name of the LORD and Victory TODAY is mine!

The battles you fight and the victories you win as a child of God are never based on your own strength and ability but always on the intervention of God.  God consistently removes anything that we might otherwise attribute the success to so that He only gets the Glory.  God will choose the smallest and the weakest nation as His people, the smallest and the least likely son as His king, the littlest lunch to feed the multitude and the smallest army to defeat the enemy… He consistently proves that He Will Show Up If You Trust Him!  Do not be afraid when it looks like what you have is insufficient, you are ripe for a miracle.  Less is More with God!

We know that God can do All things and there is nothing too hard for Him.  Jesus did not calm the sea before He walked on the water.  Jesus walked right over the troubled waters.  Upon His word, Peter also walked over the troubled waters, that is until Peter took his eyes off of Jesus.  The key is keeping your eyes on Jesus. Regardless of what it looks like, feels like or sounds like, Jesus can handle it and you can too through Him.  You can do ALL things through Christ when you walk by faith.  Remember if it’s under His Feet (and everything is) then it’s under yours too, Everything bows to Jesus.
