We have set through many church services where the preacher is talking about an abundant life. But what does an abundant life really look like?

The word "abundance" in 1 Peter 1 is translated from the Greek word "pleonexia," which conveys a sense of excess or overflowing.

Scriptures in this episode:

1 Peter 1:3“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy, he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead

1 Peter 1:15-16But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; 16 for it is written: "Be holy, because I am holy."

1 Peter 1:22 Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for each other, love one another deeply, from the heart.

Corinthians 9:8 - "And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work."

James 1:17 - "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change."

Matthew 5:6 - "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.

Deuteronomy 28:12 - "The Lord will open to you his good treasury, the heavens, to give the rain to your land in its season and to bless all the work of your hands."

Psalm 112:3 - "Wealth and riches are in his house, and his righteousness endures forever."

Temptation is something we all have to battle with on the daily. Today we are discussing 4 ways to fight temptation.

"peirasmos," ((pi-ras-mos) which can mean trial, test, affliction, trouble, attempt, or temptation. This term emphasizes the idea of being tested in faith and character.

Scriptures used for this episode:

James 1:12-18 NLT New Living Translation

12 God blesses those who patiently endure testing and temptation. Afterward they will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him. 13 And remember, when you are being tempted, do not say, “God is tempting me.” God is never tempted to do wrong,[a] and he never tempts anyone else. 14 Temptation comes from our own desires, which entice us and drag us away. 15 These desires give birth to sinful actions. And when sin is allowed to grow, it gives birth to death.

16 So don’t be misled, my dear brothers and sisters. 17 Whatever is good and perfect is a gift coming down to us from God our Father, who created all the lights in the heavens.[b] He never changes or casts a shifting shadow.[c] 18 He chose to give birth to us by giving us his true word. And we, out of all creation, became his prized possession.[d]

James 1:13-14 NIV he writes "And remember, when you are being tempted, do not say, “God is tempting me.”

Matthew 26:41 NIV “Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

Galatians 5:24-25 KJV And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the spirit.

Ephesians 6:11-12 - "Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil."

James 4:7 - "Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

Have you ever found yourself doubting Jesus' promises in the Bible? Not believing that God is here you? Will never forsake you? Do you think your problems are bigger than God? Living in a state of "if" will cause anxiety and confusion in every moment of your life. It's not if God will bless you, it's WHEN.

Scriptures in this episode:

Mark 9:23 NIV- "Everything is possible for one who believes."

James 1:6-8 NLV- "But when you ask him, be sure that your faith is in God alone. Do not waver, for a person with divided loyalty is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is blown and tossed to the wind. Such people should not expect to recieve anything from the Lord. Their loyalty is divided between God and the world, and they are unstable at everything they do."

Hebrews 11:1 NIV- "Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see."

The enlighting stories of sisters Mary and Martha have so many life lessons weaved in between the words of the Bible, I can make multiple episodes about these two. Their relationship with each other and with Jesus teaches a mutlitude about faith and hope.

In this episode we will go DIG (Deeper In God) and get into if you are Martha: too busy to slow down and enjoy God's presence and cultivate a close bond with God. Or Mary who according to Jesus "chose the better part."

Bible scriptures used in this episode:

Luke 10:40-42 NIV "But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!” “Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed—or indeed only one.a]">[a] Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”

Matthew 6:33 KJV "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."

their seat and why others stall on sitting with God. And what it looks like when you do take

that seat.
