No Longer Hopeless: Recent Episodes
Mr Mercer
A time of encouragement and hope restored as I showcase that there is always hope to be found for the right here and right now in the Lord.
I recently received a newsletter from author Steven James in my email, and I wanted to share it with you. A couple of reasons for doing this: to introduce you to an amazing author, and there is a great message of hope found within. I encourage you to join his mailing list.

I showcase a book from my library. I read a portion that tells the story of stepping out and trusting God in the process. The book is called From The Sanctuary to the Streets: Insights and Adventures in Power Evangelism. It is co-written by Charles Bello & Brian Blount.

I showcase a book from my library, co-written by Bob Briner and Ray Pritchard. The book is called The Leadership Lessons of Jesus: A Timeless Model for Today's Leaders.

I had the chance to sit down with a good friend of mine, and out of our time together, this interview was able to be created. I have been trying to get this interview with Leramy for quite a while however due to schedule issues on his or my end it just could not ever work out. It finally did and this episode is the result.

Let him know you heard him on the podcast if you do reach out to him.
I read a newsletter written by Cliff Graham that is about him explaining why he wrote the Lion of War series. It gives the background on how he came up with the idea and shares a bit of the in-depth training to better understand the process of a warrior back in the days of King David. I have linked the newsletter below as well as the interview that I had with the author.

I look at a verse with the same numbers as the famous John 3:16. It is a scripture of hope and instruction for us during the right here and now of life. It is the scripture verse, Deuteronomy 31:6! Be Strong and Good Courage!
I look at a section of scripture in the Book of Numbers, chapter 14, verses two through four. It is easy to want to go back to what you know instead of going into what you don't fully understand. However, remember this: Put your hope in the Lord and lean not on your understanding.

I came across a scripture that is full of hope. It states that the Lord will walk among us, He will be our God, and we are to be His people. It is found in Leviticus 26:12. I also share an article I found that does a deeper dive into this very verse.
The article can be found at the following link: https://scripturesavvy.com/leviticus-26-12/
The Bible is about Jesus. He is pictured or prophesied about in the 66 Bible books, from Genesis to Revelation.
He is also seen through types in the lives of different characters in the Bible. Below is a breakdown of how He is shown through types, prophecies, titles, and names in all the books of the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation.

What an amazing promise The Lord gives His people: He will fight for you. I look at a section of scripture that showcases this very thought. It is found in Exodus 14:13 - 15.

I took part in a revival in Oklahoma. The name of the meeting was called 'Meet me in the water'. It is put on by Kayla Gabbard Ministries.

I look at the very first verse of the Word of God, and right away, an amazing truth is unpacked—He created it all, from the majestic to the Mundane. Look at Genesis 1:1 and see it again for the first time.
Happy Resurrection Day! If you get the chance to go and take part of a sunrise (sonrise) service I would strongly encourage you to do so.

In the podcast we listed the url but this is the correct one - do not use the one mentioned in podcast
-. I am aware of some audio issues of places of silence during the interview. I am working on getting that resolved. Hopefully by the time this posts they will be fixed. It is not anything done on purpose. It is something to do on the back end of things - Please stay with podcast during the interview. It does pick back up and you dont miss any information.-
I read an article I found that showcases lives that were transformed through hope. It highlights 13 characters found in both the Old and New Testament of the Bible. The article is called '13 Stories of Transformation in the Bible that give hope to anyone'. It is written by Jannah Esplanada.

I have never been to this site in my life, I am not really even sure how I came across this article however I am glad I did and I decided to share it with you.

I review a book from my library that is called The Life and Teachings of Jesus of Nazareth. The author or authors (It does not list who put this together) took all four of the Gospels - Matthew, Mark, Luke and John and combined them into one flowing story.

Born into the family of an alcoholic father, Barbara endured much abuse in her childhood, which would set her life on a path of alcoholism, drug addiction, promiscuity, and divorce. This caused her to deal with severe depression, suicide attempts, fear, and extreme anger most of her life.Though Satan meant this for her destruction, God now uses Pastor Barbara to minister inner healing and deliverance to those who are in bondage everywhere she goes.Apostle Barbara Jenkins is the Pastor of Christ the King Church.
