The We Are Recreated Podcast

How do Christians overcome spiritual opposition? Putting on the armour of God means putting on Jesus Christ. God Himself is our defender - our shield and our strength. God gives us victory over spiritual opposition, and demolishes the attack of the enemy. New Creations, overcome the lies and deceptions of the enemy with the truth of God's word, and stand in the victory that Jesus secured at the cross. Hosted on Acast.

God is intimately involved in the lives of His children. He's at work in the world around us, and we have an opportunity to partner with Him in the mission He's already actively unfolding. But sometimes wrong thinking causes us to live as if God is far away. Today we explore a bit about what the Bible says about God's proximity to us.Check out John Lynch's book "On My Worst Day" on Amazon, here: https://a.co/d/8JjSyNL Hosted on Acast.

Does hardship and suffering mean that God has left us? Not a chance! There is purpose to be found in the trials and pain of life, and through it all we can be confident that God never leaves us or forsakes us. The hardship that results from a broken creation provides us a unique opportunity to depend on Jesus so that His life and power can burst out of us.If you're dealing with hardship and pain, we recommend resources like these:➡️Finding God In The Gray by Frank Friedmann - https://a.co/d/hfrlu9P➡️ Antidote for my Anxiety by Joshua Gordon - https://www.https://www.lazarusbooks.com/#wearerecreated Hosted on Acast.

As we wrap up the first series here at the We Are Recreated Podcast, we explore the present-tense provision and care of God as it relates to our present-tense new identity in Christ. We have been transformed, and there's benefit and grace that accompanies this truth even now. We don't just have to wait for heaven to see and experience grace, mercy, freedom, and victory. Romans 8 tells us that in all kinds of hardship we are more than conquerors because we are in Him - the one who loved us and gave himself up for us.Here are the verses we pulled out for this episode:2 Corinthians 5:17Romans 5:17Romans 8 (read the whole chapter - it's so good!)1 Corinthians 10:6 & 11John 15:4-52 Peter 1:3 Hosted on Acast.
