40 Days and 40 Nights (episode 305)

Psalm 73:16-17   Candid conversation about what’s going on and being thankful and grateful to God.  Choosing to appreciate God no matter what.  Two sides of everything that happens.  It’s our perception.    King James Version 16 When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me; 17 Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end. 28 But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord God, that I may declare all thy works.

Hope and Faith -ep. 290

This title came to me after the Message so I guess I know what my next live sermon will be about.  This week we are continuing on about hope.  Having an attitude of gratitude so that you can have healthy hope in the Lord. Oh, how abundant is your goodness, which you have stored up for those who fear you and worked for those who take refuge in you, in the sight of the children of mankind! (Psalm 31:19)

Hope You Don't Drown

“This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him” (1 John 5:14-15).

What Are You Hoping For?

Talking about HOPE this month. It's been said that a person can live forty days without food, four days without water, four minutes without air, but only four seconds without hope.    thank you for listening,   Rev. Kenn Blanchard

Luke 10:38-42   Martha and Mary   38 Now as they were traveling along, He entered a village; and a woman named Martha welcomed Him into her home. 39 And she had a sister called Mary, who was also seated at the Lord’s feet, and was listening to His word. 40 But Martha was distracted with [a]all her preparations; and she came up to Him and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to do the serving [b]by myself? Then tell her to help me.” 41 But the Lord answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and distracted by many things; 42 but only one thing is necessary; for Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.”     We get so busy doing church stuff that we are no heavenly good.  I call it a Martha Moment.

What would Mary do? This month we are learning about faith.  This week we are learning about the faith of Mary, mother of Jesus. 8 INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT MARY THE MOTHER OF JESUS Fact #1: Mary comes from the Old Testament name Miriam which carries a meaning of bitterness, sorrow and trouble. Mary was from the tribe of Judah and the lineage of David. This was a. fulfillment of the prophecy (Isaiah 11:1, Jeremiah 23:5-6) Fact #3: Mary was poor and was raised in a small, remote village called Nazareth.  Fact #4: Mary was uneducated according to the standard of the world but knew God for herself. Fact #5: Mary was in the first stage of marriage. In Jewish practices, marriages had 3 stages. In the first step was the signing of the contract called a ketubbah. The couple was married but were not permitted to have sex. That why the Bible says she was betrothed. A betrothal could only be broken by death or divorce. Which is why although they had not yet engaged in sex, Joseph was going to divorce her. Fact #6: How old was Mary when she gave birth to Jesus? Betrothal usually happened right after puberty so Mary was likely in her early teens when she became pregnant and gave birth to Jesus.  Fact #7: Due to her pregnancy Mary did not enter the second stage of marriage until after Jesus was born. In this stage, the marriage was consummated. And in the final stage, a celebratory feast was held. Fact #8: Jesus was Mary’s firstborn. She had other children afterwards (Luke 2:7.) She had four sons and an undisclosed number of daughters (Mark 6:3; Matt 13:55,56)   Thank you for listening, downloading and supporting the Speak Life Church and this podcast.    https://giv.li/p2nj61  Zelle  - pastor@SpeakLifeChurch.net  https://www.patreon.com/speaklifechurchpodcast  You can support the ministry by check or money order by sending it to Speak Life Church, 14713 Kent Drive, Upper Marlboro, MD 20772   love you, Rev.

Faith of Mary WWMD

Come and hear, all of you who reverence the Lord, and I will tell you what he did for me: For I cried to him for help, with praises ready on my tongue. He would not have listened if I had not confessed my sins. But he listened! He heard my prayer! He paid attention to it! Blessed be God who didn't turn away when I was praying, and didn't refuse me his kindness and love. (Psalm 66:16-20)     Fasting and prayer can restore the loss of the "first love" for your Lord and result in a more intimate relationship with Christ.   Fasting is a biblical way to truly humble yourself in the sight of God (Psalm 35:13; Ezra 8:21). King David said, "I humble myself through fasting."   Fasting enables the Holy Spirit to reveal your true spiritual condition, resulting in brokenness, repentance, and a transformed life.   The Holy Spirit will quicken the Word of God in your heart and His truth will become more meaningful to you!   Fasting can transform your prayer life into a richer and more personal experience.   Fasting can result in a dynamic personal revival in your own life-and make you a channel of revival to others.   Fasting and prayer are the only disciplines that fulfill the requirements of II Chronicles 7:14:   Call to Action:  repent, prayer, get your mind right, meditate, limit your food intake, save some money, get in the Word of God. Start a new habit of prayer. Fast daily, if your health allows it.

Fasting For Faith

this is the third time trying to get this episode out.  Sorry family.   What Are You Fishing For?   What motivates you to do what you do?   I love to fish.  If I fish in freshwater, I take a smaller rod and lighter line.  I use artificial bait that looks like a bug or edible thing to a fish that might find its way by accident into the water. In saltwater, I have to go heavier.  Anything is possible but I am not capable of anything so I have to moderate.     We are all fishing for something.   Earthly accolades, wealth, something of value, women, men, forgiveness, acceptance, to belong, for love,     Men pleasers- Ephesians 6:6 Not with eye service, as men pleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart; Gold/wealth- Matthew 23:17 Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold? Treasures-Proverbs 10:2 - Treasures of wickedness profit nothing: but righteousness delivereth from death. Lust of the flesh- Galatians 5:16 - This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.    What’s in your tackle box?   If all you are catching is hell?  You might want to change your bait.  You might want to change your tackle.  You might want to mend your nets.   Simon Peter, and Andrew had already joined him, now he was asking the sons of Zebadee. Matthew 4:21  Going on from there He saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and He called them.

this is the third time trying to get this episode out.  Sorry family. What Are You Fishing For? What motivates you to do what you do? I love to fish.  If I fish in freshwater, I take a smaller rod and lighter line.  I use artificial bait that looks like a bug or edible thing to a fish that might find its way by accident into the water. In saltwater, I have to go heavier.  Anything is possible but I am not capable of anything so I have to moderate.   We are all fishing for something. Earthly accolades, wealth, something of value, women, men, forgiveness, acceptance, to belong, for love,  <ul> <li>Men pleasers- Ephesians 6:6 Not with eye service, as men pleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;</li> <li>Gold/wealth- Matthew 23:17 Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?</li> <li>Treasures-Proverbs 10:2 - Treasures of wickedness profit nothing: but righteousness delivereth from death.</li> <li>Lust of the flesh- Galatians 5:16 - This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.</li> </ul> What’s in your tackle box?   If all you are catching is hell?  You might want to change your bait.  You might want to change your tackle.  You might want to mend your nets. Simon Peter, and Andrew had already joined him, now he was asking the sons of Zebadee. Matthew 4:21  Going on from there He saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and He called them.

Lamentations 3:25 - Episode 280

Happy Resurrection Sunday!   Joseph of Arimathea appears in each of the four Gospels (Matthew 27:57-61, Mark 15:42-47, Luke 23:50-54 and John 19:38-42) specifically around the time of Jesus’ crucifixion and burial. These short verses in the Gospels reveal a surprising amount of information relating to Joseph of Arimathea and his characteristics which we will talk about in this episode.     55 And many women were there beholding afar off, which followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him: 56 Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee's children. 57 When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus' disciple: 58 He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered. 59 And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, 60 And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed.   42 And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath, 43 Joseph of Arimathaea, an honourable counsellor, which also waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved the body of Jesus. 44 And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead: and calling unto him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead. 45 And when he knew it of the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph. 46 And he bought fine linen, and took him down, and wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewn out of a rock, and rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre.

Joseph of Arimathea, Ep. 279

Going academic in this episode.   What do you believe?   Who is God to you? This question is personal but very important.  It is demonstrated in how you treat everyone else.  If you revered, feared, respected, loved God, you act differently.  If your faith is just an insurance policy, or a habit, or something you do, then it is religion.  It’s a practice.     Proverbs 9:10. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.   Then there are some that look like you and I, maybe live in the same house as you, that believe in God but not in Jesus the Christ.  What you think about Jesus, separates religions, to some he a prophet, a nice guy, or a nut that called himself the Son of God.  Who is He to you?  Do you know? Discovering an undeniable truth is essential to belief.

What Are You Fishing For? Episode 281

A rare astronomical phenomenon will take place for one night on Tuesday, March 28, where five planets – Jupiter, Venus, Mars, Mercury and Uranus – will gather in the same place and within a small 50-degree sky sector, which is a rare alignment to witness.     John 4:48 Then Jesus said to him, “Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will by no means believe.”     The Signs of the Times and the End of the Age 3 Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?” 4 And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. 6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for [a]all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, [b]pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows. 9 “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake. 10 And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. 11 Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. 12 And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. 13 But he who endures to the end shall be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come. Matthew 24:3-14 nkjv     The Coming of the Son of Man   29 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30 Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His [d]elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

A rare astronomical phenomenon will take place for one night on Tuesday, March 28, where five planets – Jupiter, Venus, Mars, Mercury and Uranus – will gather in the same place and within a small 50-degree sky sector, which is a rare alignment to witness.  <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%204%3A48&amp;version=NKJV" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> John 4:48</a> Then Jesus said to him, “Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will by no means believe.” The Signs of the Times and the End of the Age 3 Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?” 4 And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. 6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars.

Sign of the Times - Episode 277

Pastor Kenn is a spiritually gifted preacher.  He has an extraordinary way of making the word of God easy to understand.  I look forward to future podcast that will help me grow closer to God while strengthening my faith walk.

Simple and Clear

First off I want to thank Kenn for his ministry. Personally I have felt distant from my physical church but The Speak Life Podcast has kept me grounded. This show is a wonderful once a week quick lesson, sermon, and bible reading that is well done.
