In this episode, we'll take a look at James Chapter 1, Romans 5:3-4, as well as other scriptures used to try and say that "everything that happens, good or bad, is because it was 'God's will' or because 'He allowed it to happen'". My hope is that by going over these verses, you'll see God is not the one to blame for the trials we face.

In this episode, the host of The Love Thy Nay Bor Podcast, Anthony Wilson, and I discuss the gift of "tongues". What is it? Is it available for us today, and if so, why?

Have you ever heard the phrase, "Paul's Thorn in the Flesh"? You may be surprised as to what that expression is actually referring to. Follow along with us as we look at Paul's letter to the Corinthians, and finish out this series on the Sovereignty of God

How do we explain the Book of Job, if John 10:10 says it's the devil that comes to steal, kill, and destroy? A lot's been said about God and His role in the life of Job...but rather than going by what we think to be true, lets take a look at what the Bible says. In this episode we'll continue on in the series the Sovereignty of God, discussing a topic that has made it difficult for some to honestly believe God is "good".

The stories we read about in the Bible are not fictional stories like Peter Pan, or Cat in the Hat, they're real life stories lived by real people, and written down by inspiration of the Holy Spirit. As we continue on in this series discussing the Sovereignty of God, we'll look at some common Bible stories to see that God's will does not always come to pass. As we gain a better understanding that God is not the one bringing challenges into our lives, we'll start to see Him as the loving Father He truly is.

It's been said, "God can do whatever He wants". But God has put "systems" in place that even He can't override. Why? Because He places value on His word. I hope this episode encourages you as we continue to grow a in better understanding of the Sovereignty of God.

In this episode we'll take a look at what God Himself says are Blessings and Curses. Once we're able to identify circumstances in our lives as either a blessing or a curse, we'll know what to resist, and what to receive. Gaining a better understanding of the Sovereignty of God will not only benefit us, but will also help to better explain the heart of God to others.

If God is "good", than why would "His will" be for bad things to happen to us? Does everything God wants to happen always come to pass? Does God want people to be hurt, or raped, or murdered? Absolutely not! But that's what the "Sovereignty of God" doctrine has developed into over the years. Listen along through this series as we start off by seeing through scripture that God is good. The hope is that as we better understand God's Sovereignty, we'll get freed up from some of the misconceptions we've had of His character and nature.

To end this series, we'll take a look at how receiving the Baptism in the Holy Spirit was never meant to be complicated. It's not just for the "spiritually mature", it's something made available to every believer who will receive by faith. I'll share my personal experience receiving, how my spiritual prayer language has developed, and also share a breakthrough story in someone's life close to me once they made the decision to receive. Finally, to wrap it up, you'll have the opportunity to receive yourself...and if you choose to, you'll then be equipped to be witnesses just like Jesus commanded in Acts 1.

In Part III we discuss,  "What is tongues", what is its purpose, and how has it benefited me in my personal life. Some of us may not have heard about tongues in church, but Paul felt it was important enough to give an explanation of it throughout most of I Corinthians 14. The hope is to clear up some of the misconceptions on this topic in order to equip us as we continue to move forward for the Kingdom of God.
