A. W. Tozer's message invites us to see that God's greatest gift to humanity is not earthly blessings but the very infusion of divine life—Christ in you, the hope of glory. He walks through the biblical witness of the Trinity, the incarnation, and the way the Son unites human nature with the divine nature so that believers become partakers of the divine life. He shows that the central question is not what we think of Christianity but what we do with Christ, and that the experience of God dwelling in us is meant to transform every area of life, from prayer to relationships to work.Key topics include the doctrine of the Trinity, the incarnation, and the extraordinary claim that Christ dwelling in believers makes them temples of the divine presence; the idea that believers are dispossessed of all but God, who becomes their inheritance; the meaning of holiness as God living in the personality; the primacy of experiential knowledge of God over mere gifts or evidences; and the call to trust and rest in Christ living in us rather than striving in our own strength.The takeaways include that Christ in you is the ultimate spiritual reality enabling victory over sin and a transformed life; God invites us to know Him experientially through the Holy Spirit; our identity as priests and heirs means all that belongs to Christ is ours; and the central focus of faith is the person of Jesus Christ, who is risen and present with us.----Get the original source here:https://www.inspirational.org.nz/collections/all/products/2544----Please support this podcast:Donate or become a member and gain access to our digital archive of 3000+ audio and video filesFor more Christian teachings, visit inspirational.org.nz---- ★ Support this podcast ★

Graeme guides listeners through the parable of the sower, showing across Mark 4, Matthew 13 and Luke 8 how four soils reveal our heart's response to the Word of God. The seed is the Word of the Kingdom, and the soils reveal different levels of understanding, perseverance, and fruitfulness.He explains that the hard road soil is those who hear but Satan snatches away the word; the rocky soil quickly receives but cannot root deeply; the thorny soil is crowded by worries, deceit and desires; and the good soil hears, understands, and bears fruit—thirty, sixty, or a hundredfold—by holding on to the Word with honesty and perseverance. The talk also underscores the need to discern truth, to avoid distractions that choke growth, and to apply Scripture to every area of life.Takeaways: cultivate an honest and good heart, retain the Word firmly, weigh what you hear, and let the Word inform your daily choices, relationships, and service. By focusing on faithful listening and obedient action, listeners can grow in love, joy, patience and generosity.----Get the original source here:https://www.inspirational.org.nz/collections/all/products/1308----Please support this podcast:Donate or become a member and gain access to our digital archive of 3000+ audio and video filesFor more Christian teachings, visit inspirational.org.nz---- ★ Support this podcast ★

The episode dives into hearing God's voice by examining the conditions of discipleship found in Luke 14: the call to put Jesus above all other relationships, carry one’s cross, and count the cost before following; it contrasts the crowds with true disciples and even uses the Leonidas illustration to highlight strategic surrender and reliance on God; the speaker shares a personal journey from doubt to faith and emphasizes that the Holy Spirit is the primary guide to truth.Takeaways include a practical approach to hearing God: test your sense of promptings against God's will, remain teachable and humble, and trust the Spirit's conviction and guidance rather than relying solely on intellect; peace with God comes through surrender and alignment with His will.----Get the original source here:https://www.inspirational.org.nz/collections/all/products/1307----Please support this podcast:Donate or become a member and gain access to our digital archive of 3000+ audio and video filesFor more Christian teachings, visit inspirational.org.nz---- ★ Support this podcast ★

Graham guides listeners through a practical, Bible-based look at discipleship, asking what it really means to obey the Great Commission and how the early church pattern can inform our modern approach.They unpack Paul's listing of apostles, prophets, and teachers, and explain how these roles function as a pattern for equipping believers to hear God, understand Scripture, and practice discernment, rather than creating hierarchies.They address the tension between following leaders and following Jesus, emphasizing that true discipleship starts with hearing God for oneself, with a gentle, reasonable, and merciful guide from above (James 3:13-18, John 8:31-32, John 10:27). They offer practical steps to hear God, including meditating on Scripture, testing guidance, and practicing maturity through training of spiritual senses (Hebrews 5:12). They illustrate with Acts 11:19-26 example of Barnabas and Paul to Antioch, showing outward preaching, encouragement, and teaching.Listeners will come away with a practical, Bible-based map for discipleship that centers on hearing God, guarding truth with the word, and fostering a community where revelation leads to lasting change.----Get the original source here:https://www.inspirational.org.nz/collections/all/products/1306----Please support this podcast:Donate or become a member and gain access to our digital archive of 3000+ audio and video filesFor more Christian teachings, visit inspirational.org.nz---- ★ Support this podcast ★

We're starting a new 4-part mini-series with Graeme Carle. In this talk, Graham explores how to retain revelation, using the parable of the sower. He unpacks the New Covenant and explains how God writes His laws on our minds and hearts and puts His Spirit within us, enabling us to walk in His ways rather than relying on external rules. The talk also includes a candid testimony of testing times—times when the presence of God seems absent—and how those seasons can refine faith and deepen trust. Listeners will come away with a practical framework for growing in revelation: anchor experiences in Scripture, depend on the Holy Spirit to transform the heart, and maintain humble reliance on God rather than self-effort.----Get the original source here:https://www.inspirational.org.nz/collections/all/products/1305----Please support this podcast:Donate or become a member and gain access to our digital archive of 3000+ audio and video filesFor more Christian teachings, visit inspirational.org.nz---- ★ Support this podcast ★

Bob Mumford outlines seven practical steps to a free spirit that push believers beyond surface morality into true discipleship. He begins by insisting that salvation is a gift, but a saved life can still be stubborn and unchanged unless God’s principles are consciously put into practice. The seven steps are: accepting an authority (the Bible as the final standard that nails you when you’re wrong); the compulsion of truth (the Word’s demand on life that presses you to respond); the reception of a ministry (learning to receive teaching from a variety of voices, not just your favorite preacher); intellectual humility (refusing to “intellectual rape” the Word and waiting for God to reveal truth in humility); spiritual vision (seeing the long-term goal God is building in you, which keeps you faithful through changes); knowing the will of God (finding the place and process that God uses to transform you); and growth in body relationship (learning to relate and grow with others, rather than remaining a spiritual lone ranger).Throughout the talk he weaves practical examples about resisting or embracing ministry, the necessity of forbearance in community, and the willingness to be confronted by one’s own stubborn patterns. The takeaway for listeners is actionable: ground your life in Scripture as the ultimate authority; welcome multi-voice teaching; cultivate humility before God’s Word; maintain a clear, God-driven vision for ongoing transformation; pursue the will of God in your daily setting; and engage in the life of the church to reshape your character. The result is a freer spirit shaped by truth, grace, and accountable community rather than escape or pride.----Get the original source here:https://www.inspirational.org.nz/collections/all/products/8382----Please support this podcast:Donate or become a member and gain access to our digital archive of 3000+ audio and video filesFor more Christian teachings, visit inspirational.org.nz---- ★ Support this podcast ★

Gary Greenwald speaks about Dungeons & Dragons, explaining how the game uses imaginary figures, creates immersive worlds, and can draw players so deeply into fantasy that reality fades.He warns of dangers including addictive engagement, neglect of personal hygiene and responsibilities, and a slide into occult and demonic practices as the Dungeon Master takes on god-like control. He cites scriptures and sources, including 2 Corinthians 10:5, Deuteronomy 7:26, 18:9-12, and the warning about the number of the beast, 666, to argue that these games can desensitize youth to violence and open doors to the occult.Takeaways: guard your household, question seemingly harmless media, and turn to God for protection, using Scripture and prayer as a shield against occult influence; consider stepping away from the game to protect faith and family.----Get the original source here:https://www.inspirational.org.nz/collections/all/products/9984----Please support this podcast:Donate or become a member and gain access to our digital archive of 3000+ audio and video filesFor more Christian teachings, visit inspirational.org.nz---- ★ Support this podcast ★

John Wimber guides listeners through a journey from cautious skepticism about emotive worship to a living, intimate relationship with God. Drawing from First Chronicles 16 and Hebrews 13, he shows worship as a daily sacrifice of praise and as a doorway to immediacy with the Father. He emphasizes that God is moving today, healing the sick, restoring lives, and inviting ordinary people to participate in the works and wonders of Jesus.The talk covers worship as intimacy, immediacy, and a new liturgy—speaking to God in contemporary idioms so people can relate and encounter Him now. It also explores fellowship as koinonia—sharing life, possessions, and prayer in small groups, and the church as a living body with gifts used for the common good. Crucially, Wimber urges believers to live out the words and works of Jesus, praying with Him, and building unity across the global church.Takeaways: worship is disciplined, communal, and transformative; faith expresses itself through praise, generosity, and obedience; every believer has a role in healing, mercy, and mission; community and small groups are essential to growth; and true worship flows from a relationship with the Father and the Son, through the Spirit, into everyday life.----Get the original source here:https://www.inspirational.org.nz/collections/all/products/9869----Please support this podcast:Donate or become a member and gain access to our digital archive of 3000+ audio and video filesFor more Christian teachings, visit inspirational.org.nz---- ★ Support this podcast ★

The Holy Spirit is the driving force behind evangelism; this talk outlines how Spirit-filled life makes witness natural, powerful, and united.David Watson surveys the Spirit's work in evangelism across six aspects: the Holy Spirit as the witnessing Spirit who glorifies Jesus; the power from on high that enables bold testimony; the interdependence of truth and the Spirit in proclamation; the varied ways God communicates—through signs, teaching, and prophecy; the different modes of guidance—natural, corporate, and special occasions; and the Spirit's role in conversion, opening hearts to Christ. He then ties these to a church life where evangelism is church-based, built on radical unity and renewed commitments, and sustained by honest relationships, hospitality, and follow-up as essential elements of witness.The talk emphasizes that the church is the primary agent of evangelism, with believers belonging to one another in a transforming community that models the gospel through its love and shared life. It concludes with a call to listen to the Holy Spirit and move with flexibility to reach a changing world today.----Get the original source here:https://www.inspirational.org.nz/collections/all/products/9787----Please support this podcast:Donate or become a member and gain access to our digital archive of 3000+ audio and video filesFor more Christian teachings, visit inspirational.org.nz---- ★ Support this podcast ★

Speakers: Jack and Paula. This episode centers on sex in marriage as a sacred, holistic union of body, mind, heart and spirit, grounded in biblical creation and the idea that the body is good and meant for holy connection. The talk contrasts the anti-Christian view that “spirit” and “matter” are opposed with a Hebraic-Christian understanding of unity, and discusses how every touch and interaction can be spiritual when approached with love. Key topics include: redefining sex as a spirit-to-spirit, heart-to-heart, and body-to-body meeting; the importance of foreplay, ensuring climax for the woman, and the afterglow as mutual cherishing; the concept of tuning partners to each other through marriage and confession; healing past traumas, cutting free from previous sexual attachments, and praying for spiritual separation when needed; the idea that marriage creates a “we” while maintaining individual integrity; and practical guidance for communication, vulnerability, and mutual respect in daily life. Takeaways: view sex as a sacred gift that nourishes both partners and strengthens the marital bond; learn to nurture the other’s heart and spirit, cultivate a safe space for open sharing, and pursue healing from past hurts to achieve true unity. The discussion also offers concrete advice on intimacy, healing, forgiveness, and spiritual alignment within marriage. ----Get the original source here:https://www.inspirational.org.nz/collections/all/products/5295----Please support this podcast:Donate or become a member and gain access to our digital archive of 3000+ audio and video filesFor more Christian teachings, visit inspirational.org.nz---- ★ Support this podcast ★

John and Paula Sandford are a longtime ministry couple bringing decades of experience in teaching and guiding families, grounded in Scripture.
