Sunday Podcast 160 with Michael W Smith 120725
Jesus asked a man at the Pool of Bethesda: Do you want to be healed? Sounds obvious, right? But some people have adjusted to their problems and don't actually want change. They get sympathy, attention, or benefits from staying stuck. What condition have you learned to live with that God wants to heal? If you can live with it, you might have to die with it.

At age 5, Mephibosheth went from palace luxury to permanent disability in one tragic moment. Years later, when faced with false accusations and losing everything again, his response was shocking: pure gratitude. What would you choose - bitterness or gratitude when life hits you with undeserved hardship? His story will challenge how you view your own struggles and God's unexpected kindness in your life.

Many Christians struggle with unanswered prayers and spiritual stagnation because they fall into the category of hearers-only rather than doers of God's word. James 1:22-25 reveals that being a doer means continuously and repeatedly practicing what you hear from Scripture, not just acknowledging it intellectually. Biblical examples like the blind man at Siloam, the ten lepers, and Bartimaeus show that miracles require action and persistence, not just belief. Even demons believe in God, but they don't obey Him. The difference between spiritual success and failure isn't about knowledge or experience, but about consistently acting on God's instructions.
Many Christians miss a profound truth: not all hatred is wrong. Satan's greatest weakness is his uncontrolled hatred, which has led to his most spectacular defeats throughout history. When Satan orchestrated Stephen's murder, it backfired by spreading Christianity beyond Jerusalem. The crucifixion itself was Satan's hatred-driven mistake that sealed his eternal doom. Christians must learn to distinguish between ungodly hatred that targets people and godly hatred that targets sin and Satan's works. Developing godly hatred isn't optional - it's essential for spiritual victory and provides supernatural strength to fight evil effectively.
Enjoy the Music and Listen to the message we received from GOD through Pastor Darrell Griffis using Second Thessalonians chapter 1 and several other verses in other books of the bible.
God sees assets in you that you don't even recognize, but your self-concept—how you view yourself—determines your future. Throughout scripture, God called ordinary people with low self-esteem to extraordinary purposes, first repairing their self-concept before using them powerfully. Moses, Gideon, Jeremiah, Isaiah, and Peter all experienced this divine identity restoration. Being born again doesn't automatically fix your self-concept; you must embrace how God sees you and lay down your old identity. When you allow God to restore your self-concept, you open the door to the anointings, giftings, and blessings He has prepared for you.
