The miraculous events around the birth of Jesus are found in 2 different gospel accounts, Luke and Matthew. These disciples approached the birth account from different perspective. Luke from Mary's lineage and account and Matthew from Joseph's lineage and account. This episode is a reading of both of those accounts but put in chronological order. It's a great one to listen to with family! Talk about what jumped out as a new detail or what spoke to you. Which of the people did you connect with the most? May this reading of the Holy Scripture be a satisfying meal and drink of celebration! Blessings and Merry Christmas!
In the interaction between Elizabeth and Mary, we see that Elizabeth spoke word of life over Mary. Her mouth was supernaturally filled with blessings over her. When is the last time you had someone speak words of life over you to encourage you in your faith, in the promises of God? Do you know what promises of God you are standing on right now? Listen in to be reminded of what the LORD has spoken over you. Stand firm under these blessings. Take ownership of them. Ask a friend to speak Luke 1:45 over you. Return the blessing and speak the same blessing over your believing friend.
Are you looking up, down, forward or backwards? Many of us are consumed with the future or excessively meditating on the past or heavy in spirit and looking down. God calls us to look up! To have our mouths filled with His hopeful message! To position by faith in His promises of peace and goodwill! So take this devotional and the prompts given and practice looking up! Speak out loud where you are prompted to do so! And look up!
Do we look away when need comes knocking? We like to think we would not. But as believers, we have the advantage of a heart of stone being made into a heart of flesh through the supernatural life of Jesus in us. Today, go back in time and be one of those who turned Joseph and Mary away. The One who came to lay himself down for us came into a world where no one would lay themselves down for Him.
Have you noticed this detail of Zacharias' account in Luke 1... that there was assembly of worshippers that gathered to pray? That they gathered during the "hour of incense"? See Luke 1:10. Try reading it in multiple versions. Will you be gathering with your family or church family to offer up sweet incense to Jesus? May you find some inspiration to do so through this Advent episode that includes language of worship to lift up to His Holy Name!
Hi, this is Gina. Over Christmas I'm uploading some devotions and reflections around the coming of Emmanuel. This brief reflection encourages you to see the supernatural indwelling as a "NOW" word for you. Jesus still indwells. He is still the Word that became flesh coming to dwell within you.
Visit www.knowingJesuswithGina.com to sign up to receive my blog for more inspiration on getting to know Jesus.
Arguments... "You can't prove a virgin birth." "The Bible is a fairy tale." "The Bible never said Jesus was God." "The Bible is just made up stories." "The Bible can't be proven." "The Bible has tons of errors and can't be trusted."
How many of these lies have you heard? How confidently do you respond? It feels awkward to not have a ready answer. But, you can have one and tell a sweet and miraculous true story (from our time!) in the process!
For this Advent, listen to the miraculous story of the young Muslim boy who discovered one of the greatest biblical finds that maybe ever has been found so far! The details have God's fingerprints all over it!
You'll hear how this modern day account verifies scriptures written BEFORE Jesus was born, and where those scriptures clearly point to the coming Holy One as God! You can be bold and confident in declaring the inerrant Word of God!
So get ready! Have a way to take notes. Have your bible handy! Don't just listen, check my work. Go deeper! Be rooted in your belief through the scriptures so you can show the proof to others! Blessings as you prepare your heart to receive Him with joy and gladness!
Welcome to 2024 and blessings for His grace and power to you. I'm sharing more on how I am organizing to come in line with my shifted ministry call. I hope you sense the burden and also have eyes to see the importance of obeying. It has not been an easy move for me. But obedience will always be the right move. Thank you for understanding the period of silence and continuing to notice when I post another episode for the next update. I hope you are referencing old episodes and finding inspiration as you position in the New Year! Blessings!
Today I share some translation of what the LORD has been speaking to me in the waiting. It's a call for you to follow me where the LORD is leading me. May you pray about it and follow the ministry more closely by signing up to receive my blog at intothewaters.com! Blessings in His presence!
Hello! Still in a waiting process with God and bringing you alone so you can hear my prayer language. It's helpful to be still with Him by praying with another and to find inspiration by praying the Word of God. Today we pray into Psalm 62 which is language we speak to our soul to encourage us in God. We pray it through New Covenant eyes because Jesus is the fulfillment of all help, hope, and promises. He is our refuge, our fortress. Our Rock. We will not be shaken! Listen to the end to hear about the Advent series that will be starting via blog only next week! Blessings in His presence!
Today we start right out in prayer. We listen for the words of Jesus who says, "Why are you troubled? Why do doubts arise in your hearts?" Our Suffering Savior, our Victorious King is our life and promise. We need not be troubled. His Word is our assurance. He never leaves nor forsakes. So we cling. We abide in the waiting. We call upon Him as dependent children, that He may lift us up and strengthen us in the waiting. This life is not your home. Fix your eyes on Jesus. Blessings in His presence! Listen until the end to hear about the new content being released in the blog and why it is important to be in the know during these dark spiritual times. Visit intothewaters.com to sign up.
Today I pray a prayer over you and then we slow it down and you pray the same prayer. I give you pauses so that you can talk to the LORD in the language I share. Pray outloud. Let Him hear your voice. Put passion and emotion into the prayer language. Go deeper. Open up. He loves you and is present to comfort and heal and help. Blessings in God's presence!

Today we'll be praying through 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 and Lamentations 3:22-26. There are cries of the heart contained within each, promises of being sustained alone by the LORD. The days are evil, this is a message I am supposed to be sharing more and more. Our only peace shall be found in the LORD Jesus. We are waiting. We are waiting for his deliverance. We are to be taking our eyes off this world and looking alone to Him. Press in and share these type of messages with others so they strengthen themselves for the coming days and look to Him to be sustained.
How does God mainly speak to us? He speaks to us by His Word. The Holy Spirit puts scripture on our heart. As we meditate on the Word that speaks, our thoughts are redirected to His mind, His will, His heart. Right now the Spirit of God is longing for His people to return to Him, to return to their first love. He is asking us to turn from friendship with the world. In my waiting, this is a repetitive message that is coming. For our own sake and safety, we need to come out of the world. I pray that is a message for you to meditate upon. Times are evil. Put no hope in worldly systems or prosperity. Trust in God alone. Be reflective as you listen to the prayer and be willing to meditate on wordly things the LORD is calling you to turn from. Blessings in His presence!
James 1:5-8 is our scripture focus for what to do in the waiting. God does not despise our asking. He gives generously and without reproach. Our part is belief. Oftentimes when He gives wisdom it will be contrary to our own ways and thoughts. He can challenge us to come out from the crowd and operate in a way that reveals His life and power. Too many shrink back and do not want that type of attention. Too many Christians want to blend in and be liked versus being obedient and following the leading of the Spirit. If you are someone who want wisdom, position for belief. It's the only solid ground to stand on by faith. Blessings in His presence! Please share us with a friend! Visit intothewaters.com for more.
As most are aware, the LORD is shifting me. In this time, I am in a holding pattern. Holding patterns are hard. It requires waiting without knowing. So what does waiting without knowing look like? Waiting with God is active and hope filled. We are to wait with expectation. Though I've felt great pressure during this time, I find peace and rest in time with God. He will bring me through. If that speaks to you, join me as I share a little how waiting and hope are intertwined. And how there is a picture behind hope in Hebrew, a rope. The rope represents an attachment that builds expectation. Press in during the waiting, the breakthrough is coming! Blessings in His presence!
Today position to hide yourself in the Peace who alone is Jesus. He is the Lamb in the midst of the throne who will shepherd us and lead us to eternal fountains of living waters. He is our focus of worship as we wait expectantly for His return and our homecoming. Blessings in His presence!
When we pray the psalms, we pray them through the New Covenant. Follow along today as we use Psalm 121 as inspiration. Jesus is referenced. He is the Maker of Heaven and earth, Colossians 1:15-17 & John 1:1-3. We look beyond our mountains of problems and beyond forces of darkness attempting to destroy us, instead looking to Jesus. We are on a path of ascent to know Him and be transformed into His likeness. Worship Him in this way today! Visit intothewaters.com to sign up for our email blog! And leave a review if these prayer exercises help you!
Today is a breath prayer exercise that coaches you into the place of eternal youth, the perpetual childlike state that is ours in Christ.

Over the last handful of days the LORD has been confirming to me the redirection He is calling for in this season. I mention that briefly in this podcast and also lay out some scripture-based truth on our call to pray for Israel. We need to be reminded it is not based upon what our eyes see. It is not based upon human behavior. It is based upon covenant love. Be reminded today that God has a plan for Israel, the same way he had a plan for us pagans.

In John 15, Jesus is the vine and His Father (our Father) is the vinedresser. There is a pruning done by the Father to cut off things that we may bear greater fruit.

Blessings in His presence!

Would people describe you as gentle? Whether man or woman, the Apostle Paul instructs us to let our gentleness be evident to all because the LORD is near, Philippians 4:5. Especially in circumstances when it is not warranted, like in situations with "enemies". The LORD tells us to bless our enemies, and in so doing, this will heap burning coals on their head. So meditate on the gentleness the LORD calls us to in this time of breath prayer and silence. Blessings in His presence!

Consider a few questions about death and life, about your position of authority. Do you meditate upon visions of Christ's exalted place, about your place with him there?

A couple of days ago I mentioned at the end of an episode that the LORD gave me a dream of a sister-in-Christ who has recently passed. I share that dream today and how it is meant to take our eyes off the natural and to put them on the eternal promise we have for our eternal dwelling. The promise of eternal life is real, and we are to always have that hope sustaining us during the weariness of the life we live here. Some of us have bodies that are failing and groaning, but that is not our end. We are promised for a resurrection life, a life clothed in the eternal promises of God. Remind yourself of that today by meditating on 2 Corinthians 5:1-10. Blessings in His presence! Visit intothewaters.com for more!

Instead of being afraind of the unseen, we are to turn our attention to the unseen God, through whom all things are possible. This exercise is only for those who will face their fears and take them on with supernatural promises and faith in our Almighty God!

Today we use worshipful language from Psalm 5, words of an ancient warrior King, King David. He knew the authority of God. He believed in the authority of God. He BELIEVED he came in prayer speaking with the King of all! He saw the divine intervention of God on his behalf. His language in approaching God was worshipful, reverent. He honored God as holy and spoke in possessive language to God, my King... my God. So let's take a cue from King David and approach God in the same way. See how it affects the language of your heart. See how it changes the tone of your prayers. Blessings!

The Spirit of God spoke this while recording the beginning of this message, "Turn". There is a call from God for believers to turn from unbelief to belief. He has given us an eternal hope into our hearts that is to produce joyful expectation both now and forever. This hope is an anchor of our soul, sure and steadfast. But too many feel and think in terms of hopelessness regarding the power of prayer or regarding time in His presence. We must turn from despair and anchor ourselves in the hope of Christ. So meditate today on the promise found in Hebrews 6:19 and see what the Spirit highlights to you. Do you need to confess any despair? Do you need to turn from hopelessness and boldly enter the Presence of God, who has everything that you need for life and joy? Blessings!
God wants to relieve burden and one of the ways this happens is by turning from our consuming worries. We are to worship. He teaches His disciples that God knows what we need before we ask. And then He says, "this is how you should pray..." He tells them to begin in worship of the Father in Heaven and asking for His kingdom to come, His will to be done.." So position to agree with this type of worshipful prayer today. Let go and just worship, believing your obedience and worship releases promise and provision for body and soul! Blessings!

A father of the fatherless, and a defender of the widows, is God in His holy habitation.…)

One of the most powerful aspects of Christ's love is that He sees our failures in advance, looking past it, waiting to spend time with us. His character is to forgive, extend mercy, and transform us with His Spirit and Word. The way He treats us is supposed to overflow to how we treat others. Today consider Jesus telling His disciples in advance that they would all fall away. And then consider what He focused on. Their failures? Or His victory? Take time to ponder that He's always ahead of you, always waiting to fellowship with you. Visit intothewaters.com to learn more about us.

Today's Tranquil Tuesday is a bit different, in that most of the episode is me sharing some things I learned about sacrifice from my dad.

Today is a reflection for you to consider of Jesus' 3rd and final response to the devil's temptations. Jesus was clear who gave Him authority and power and glory, so He had a strong rebuke to Satan's offer of kingdoms and splendor. Today you'll have a chance to bow and pray the words of Jesus, "Away from me Satan, for it is written: Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only." (See the full account in Matthew 3:1-11.)

Who are you upset with? Who has hurt, angered, betrayed you? These forces are far too powerful to battle on our own. We must take them to Jesus and make our case in His presence. "Vengeance is mine," says the LORD; "I will repay." It's not in our nature to take our upset first to God. First we process with ourselves and often we next go to processing with others. It's not natural for us to take it first and foremost to God. Yet that is where the power is, that is where the victory is. That is where our healing is found. So today, listen in on how to make an appeal to God about enemy forces battling against your soul.
We see 4 weapons coming against God's people in 2 Chronicles 20:9. They are sword, judgment, pestilence, and famine. How are they practical for us in our day?

Do you ever stand while praying? In Mark 11:25, Jesus says, "And when you stand praying...". Standing to pray is a position of power, a weapon of warfare to overcome.

Today's spiritual weapon holds on of our biggest opportunities for an increased measure of peace. What is it? How are you negatively affected because you are not part of the answer?

Really the fear of the LORD is the beginning of everything, everything that you need for life and peace. It is very easy these days to get caught up in anxiety, fear, and worry about tomorrow, about next year, about the future. But we have promises that our healthy fear of LORD leads to wisdom, that knowledge of God leads to understanding. And to get through we can rest that God will give us the wisdom and understanding we need for whatever the future holds. Take time to listen in and see what triggers you within. What areas need to be brought to God, areas you need to know Him better? "God show me who you are, I want to know you better." This is a good and humble prayer with a healthy fear of the LORD. Blessings!

God's promise of peace is supernatural. He initiates the pathway to peace. He sets up an oasis of pleasant pasture and sometimes He does this as a result of a painful circumstance. This is what I experienced over the last day. Yesterday I tearfully recorded that I would not be recording for a few days as I rested and healed from an eye injury. But it has happened much quicker and God get s the glory on it. That's what this episode is about and an encouragement for you to meditate and repeat His promise and then pray it tonight before you go to bed. Blessings!

In a social distancing world, we can still find people to touch. Those in our circle, those we meet with through screens, we can lay hand-to-hand and pray for them. That is the challenge today.

Today's episode is a transcript reading of a video I posted today on our private Facebook group page. That page is also called Peace Be Still- Daily Prayer download (search for us on Facebook; and try the group out!). I share an incident that happened while I was out shopping towards the end of March 2020, a moment where a level of anger rose up that I knew was not good. It's a practical example for application of 2 Corinthians 10:2-5 and how to hold thoughts captive. God is clear that we are not to wage war the way the world does. He gives us weapons of warfare like prayer that are mighty in Him to renew our thoughts and transform us into His likeness. Stick around to the end to receive prayer. Hope it ministers and encourages you! Blessings!

Psalm 51 is consistently one of the top searched Psalms. It is a cry for forgiveness and to be made new. Psalms are a great resource for prayer language, except that often verses are not in language that represents the new covenant through Christ. So in today's episode, you will pray through Psalm 51 through the language of Christ's grace and mercy, through the covering of his blood that has already cleansed you. You will agree, using simple language like "Yes Lord" and "Thank you Lord." Note, this is prayer language for a believer. If you do not yet know Christ, get a bible and pray the language of Psalm 51 as written. It is good and holy language asking for God's forgiveness and to be made new. God will honor your heart cry. Blessings!

Today is the National Day of Prayer. Are you curious about the state of American's faith? In this episode I share statistics from Barna research from 2018. The results are eye opening and give a lot of weight to for God's people to return. "If my people..." God says. Oh that we would humble ourselves and pray and seek His face.

Jeremiah 29:13 is a well known verse. But it says something that is a little confusing. It says "you will seek me and find me when you search for me wth all of your heart." Do you see it? We have to search in order to seek and find? Isn't searching and seeking the same thing? Not here. These are 2 different words. This episode flushes out the differences and paints some word pictures that help you understand the promise of seeking and finding God. You will be encouraged to draw a path and fill it with some things. Get a pen and paper, listen in, engage in the exercise, and receive prayer at the end! Blessings! Please share with a friend!

In today's episode we will tell God that we trust Him. We will ask for deeper levels of trust. I reflect on the last public event that I attended in NY on March 14th and the word God dropped into my spirit as I asked the question the speaker told us to ask God. Having no idea what would be happening after, the context of his answer of "trust" hits home. The Coronavirus is upending our world and it is critical to trust in God for many things right now. I pray you listen in to get a deeper understanding of what it means to trust God. I hope you engage in the prayer exercise and spend time continuing in prayer. Instrumentals gently play in the background for your quiet time at the end. Blessings!

This episode is a good one for prayer before bedtime. Psalm 4 provides the inspiration. We ponder the question asked by the psalmist, "Who will bring us prosperity?" There is a compare and contrast to consider when you are on your bed, searching your heart in reverent silence before the LORD. Use Psalm 4 to express your heart to God, there is beautiful language and a way of promise to lie down and sleep, for God alone makes you dwell in safety.

Have you ever looked at peace as a math equation? God defines it in those terms, in terms of adding something and subtracting something in order to make whole. This biblical reflection on peace separates the world's definition from God's. You are invited into a deeper friendship with God through Christ. You are encouraged to reflect on what to add and what to subtract for more peace. You follow along in prayer asking for a greater measure of Christ and the wholeness He promises. This session ends in silent reflection as you rest in His presence. Learn more about Into the Waters prayer discipleship ministry by visiting www.intothewaters.com.
Jesus' agony in the garden produces some of his most memorable words, "Take this cup from me, yet not my will, but thy will be done." We easily connect with his request for God to take away suffering, but what about relinquishing your will? This is much harder. This episode shares scripture on the brevity of your life and leads you in a follow along prayer exercise of surrender. Finish the quiet time in God's presence with soft instrumentals in the background. Blessings!
Today being Good Friday, the reflection is on the suffering of Jesus. I share a childhood memory that disturbs me to this day, but helps me connect to the suffering Jesus took on my behalf. You hear a reading from Isaiah 53, which contains amazing prophecy 700 years in advance of Jesus, the suffering Savior. You are encouraged to read the prophecy and reflect on how his blows are your path to healing. (And here is promised reference to the Digital Dead Sea Scrolls project- http://dss.collections.imj.org.il/project)
Beauty. It draws us to people and things. But what about things that are ugly? Isaiah 53 states that Jesus had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, that there was nothing in his appearance that we should desire him. Why does scripture say that? What is God trying to tell us? I give a few personal examples of what came to my mind; and then end the session inviting you to reflect in the beauty of God's presence! Blessings!
Have you ever eavesdropped on a conversation you were not supposed to hear? In this episode, I share a upsetting memory related to that. Then you are invited to enter a biblical scenario and eavesdrop as a servant in the palace of the high priest, during the moment Judas agreed to betray Jesus for 30 pieces of silver. You'll ponder Jesus' silence during betrayal and hear some scriptures calling for silence in His presence. 5 minutes of instrumentals end the time for you to worship Him in the reverent silence scripture calls for. Blessings!
Jesus promises peace. Today listen to the encouragement on how to wait "until he comes" for the peace He promises!
He says peace comes by faith AND by regularly remembering Him through communion. When is the last time you took communion? We are to participate in it with God's people 'until he comes". Did you know that communion is protective of health and strength, both physically and spiritually? This is a time to stay under the protective covering communion offers.
Tune in for encouragement on how to wait "until he comes" for the peace he promises. Receive prayer covering at the end. Blessings! (Amplified version is used in this podcast).
Keep pursuing God this holy week! Today is a soaking exercise, which is resting in Jesus' presence. John the apostle is our biblical example. At first known as a "son of thunder". But then radically different documenting himself as leaning against Jesus' chest at the last supper, a sign of intimate friendship and trust. That kind of change reveals a transformation from pride to surrender. At the last supper John goes further to refer to himself as "the one who Jesus loved". Not an obnoxious boast... a way he self-identified. You are meant to boldly identify in the same way. Your confidence to boldly proclaim his love for you will come spending time in His presence! So take this time to sit with Jesus, invite Him, and open yourself up to leaning back and resting in His presence. Blessings!
Today is Palm Sunday. Let's bless God! Today you will learn about a "berakah", a ancient form of prayer used by the Hebrews. You will be given some mental images behind the word bless to ponder.

Follow along and pray berakahs (blessings) to God! Then try them on your own! Receive prayer at the end!
