The Daily Faith: Recent Episodes
Eric Hazen
There are times when you fall down, and then you need a good friend to lift you up again. Walking together is a time to share and strengthen a relationship. It is a time for friends to share the details and concerns of life. To learn more about each other. Let’s talk about it!
Do you know that God loves you? God loves you with a love so profound it’s beyond our comprehension. Let’s take a look a the many ways God loves you!
If you want to let the Holy Spirit lead your life and walk by the Spirit, it’s a conscious choice you need to make each and every day. Pray that the Lord will fill you with His Spirit. Pray that you would walk by the Spirit.
Today we’re going to talk about being in The Presence of God. Psalm 16: 11- You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
From time to time, we all see areas in our lives that we struggle with; areas that we wish could be different. It might be moral failures or habits that have us discouraged. How does God want us to approach those areas? God has given us The Holy Spirit, that dwells within us, Each day, you have a choice to walk by the Spirit – or walk by your own will. Let’s talk about it!
What fears creep into your heart most often?
Are you worried you might never get married? Or if you’re married, that your marriage may never get better? Are you afraid of failing at work or losing your job? Do you have fears about your health, what illness you might have or how you might die? Do you worry regularly about your children — their health, their relationships, their faith? When are you afraid?
What you fear most may be exactly where Satan is targeting you most. He preys on insecurity, anxiety, and distress. He pours the gasoline of lies on our fears — trying to persuade us that God is powerless, indifferent, or distant.
What does it mean to trust in God?
“You were born to win, but to be a winner you must plan to win, prepare to win, and expect to win” Zig Zagler. Today I want to encourage you, and let you know that God has planned for you to win! No matter where you are, what the circumstance look like, don’t give up just because you have fallen over and over. Get up and go again! You are a child of God!
God has a plan, purpose, and will for your life. Before your existence in history, God appointed your days before one of them came to be! God is moving on the inside of you! God is preparing you for your blessings!
Today, we look at Proverbs 4:23
“Be careful what you think, because your thoughts run your life.”
Our thoughts have power and can easily begin to run our lives, controlling our words and actions, feelings and emotions — even our peace and happiness. When disappointment crushes our dreams, when people hurt or anger us, or when problems seem overwhelming, it’s easy to get caught in the rip-current of negative thoughts. And when we think negative thoughts, we feel negative feelings, leading to believing life is negative overall.
I encourage you, when negative thoughts come, when the Devil tries to attack you, fight back with God’s Word. Fight back with giving God all the glory. Fight back with Praise! Fight back with Thanksgiving! All though that situation may look gloomy, praise God for he’s bringing you into a NEW SEASON! You have a God who loves and cares for you, He will never leave you, nor forsake you. He has prepared a place for you!!
Do you read God’s Word everyday? Are you meditating on the scriptures day and night? What are you feeding on? Today we look at Isaiah 55; and the importance of feeding on God’s Word everyday! God’s word is a call to fill our hearts and minds with truth. If you want to grow in your walk with the Lord and especially if you want to have the vision to see the lies of Satan and strength to say no to sin, you must feed on God’s Word.
God wants you to live a life of faith and victory!! He knows that you will face trials and temptations of many kinds. So, He gave you the Bible, which is God's Word, to teach you about Him and to teach you how to act as a believer.
Today we discuss there (3) practical steps that you can use to Walk in Victory everyday!!
Share with a friend!
God wants to break the chains that are holding you back! He desires for you to be free so you can get on with accomplishing His perfect will for your life. Today, I want to encourage you, I want to tell you that God has made a way for you! If you are bound by loneliness, or maybe you feel isolated from anyone and everyone, God wants to crush the chains! He wants to destroy the spirit of isolation in your life! He will bring you out! You’re not hearing me! I said Jesus will lift you out of deaths court and replace that spirit of fear and isolation with the oil of gladness!
Today, I want to talk about a touch that is far superior to any other human touch. I want to talk about the touch of Christ, and remind you that His touch is the touch of God! When He extends His hand into your life and purposely touches you, He will produces changes that no other touch can duplicate.
Have you felt the power of His touch firsthand in your life? Do you know what He can do?
I don't know the kind of touch you need in your life today, but I know Who can give it to you! Jesus is His name and touching lives is His fame. Whether you are lost, backslidden, burdened, discouraged, or just want to learn to love Him more, you need His touch. Come get it!
Today we talk about the giving of your heart!
What does it mean to give God your heart?
I mean completely sold out, would do anything you can for God’s kingdom, purposes and will!
No matter where you are, what you’ve done, what’s been done to you! You can give your heart to a Father that cares for you, that loves you soo much that he died for you. He says come to me all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you.
If you need to make a decision today won’t you make that known to us this hour? WHATEVER your decision, it begins with Giving God your heart!
Today we talk about Surrender. Surrender is the giving away of your whole heart. It is the release of your will and desires. God is calling you to totally surrender all that you are and all that you have. Surrender is not what you do for God. Surrender is the giving away of your whole heart. It is the release of your will and desires. Will you let God shape and mould you the way He desires? Will you surrender that which seems good to you, so the Father can give you what He knows is good for you?
How do you choose to look at the day? How do you choose to look at a rainy day?
How do you choose to look at a sunny day? How do you choose to look at that situation when all hell is breaking loose?
Do you look at each day as a precious gift from God, with new Grace and new opportunities?
Perception is everything! It's so easy to think that things are a certain way and that everything is out of our control. It's easy to forget how muh OUR perception impacts the way we choose to look at somthing, or dealing with a situation, a person, or even an emotion. We get so caught up in the moment, that we often forget that it's through our eyes that this moment exist. The way we see it, the spin we put on it, is up to us. This is the day that the Lord has made, will you choose to stand on Gods word when everything looks like it’s going to fail?
Have you ever been stuck? Or felt like your situation is too, big, there’s no way out. It’s over. You might be facing a situation or problem that seems huge. But today, be encouraged. Just like David, you’ve got a God who loves you and who is fighting on your side. Choose to see your problems as opportunities to see God move in your life.
Your life will never change if your attitude doesn’t first!! If we want something different for our lives, to get out of a rut, or to get past our fears, we have to change our attitudes. Ultimately, all change is a result of God shifting things in our lives. God has good things in store for us, and the only way we’ll see them is if we faithfully continue to allow Him to work in us. Do you have the right attitude?
There are times in our life when we need to consider our relationship with God, and find that we need to recommit, dedicate, and return back to Him. Are you running from God? Today we talk about finding our way back to the one who created you. Decide to come back to your Father today. He loves, and cares for you soo much!
I’m sure we’ve all sat down, or thought about or even planned the life we wanted to live. We put so much thought on what we want, what we’d like to have, and even down to where we’d like to vacation, and have everything mapped out, and planned out to a tee. But we get to those ages, or those milestones come, and we are not where we thought we’d be. What then? You've done your very best, you thought you'd thought of everything, you've laid it all out and somehow it didn't work. Today we talk about your Foundation
Today we talk about letting go of bitterness. Are you still holding onto this? Do you have bitterness in your heart? The way you dig up the “root of bitterness” is with the “shovel of forgiveness.” Forgiveness is not just a one-time act, but a way of life, meant to bring us into every blessing in Jesus. Let’s look at bitterness!
I want to encourage you today, and let you know that you are not defined by your past, you are not your mistake. People and your flesh may but, God doesn’t hold our mistakes over us. “I have blotted out, like a thick cloud, your transgressions, and like a cloud, your sins. Return to Me, for I have redeemed you” Isaiah 44:22.
Is the guilt you’re carrying weighing you down?
Is the guilt you’re experiencing controlling you?
Today we talk about letting go of your past.
Prayer is communication between you and God, in which we should not only talk to God but also listen to God. But soo many people don’t pray; who are not talking to God everyday. Today we look at the Power of Prayer, and how the Power of Prayer has the ability to change us, and our circumstances.
At some point, we all search for a place of peace. A place to get away from everyday stresses. Today we look at 3 keys from the Scripture to help you find peace in your everyday life.
Today we talk about love, and defining love. When we think of Love, it's easy to think about feelings. But real love is not dependent on feelings.
So what really is Love? How can we learn to walk in love?
This is a two part series. Today we talk about practical steps that can help Activate Your Faith
When asked what Faith is, I’m sure we’d all quote Hebrews 11: Faith is the substance of things hoped for, evidence of things unseen. But if asked to put faith into a definition what would you say? I mean Faith is probably the most important thing in life, but how do we define in? Today we dive into what Faith is.
There is so much hope and love for you at this very moment if you open your heart to Jesus Christ as your Savior. He will guide you; He will strengthen you; He will be your deliverer, if you allow Him. Call upon the name of the Lord and watch what He does in You and through You!
