Driving with the lights on

January 12, 2025 • Adrian Porter • Exodus 2:11–12, 2 Samuel 11:2, Psalm 119:105, Joshua 1:8, Genesis 16:2

The key to true success is to get the word of God inside you. We need to spend time with God. We use Gods word as a torch to guide our way, you need to turn the light on. To do this have quiet time allowing you to listen to Gods voice and reading the Bible. Making sure we are going Gods way, not our own way. When we bring the light into a situation, the darkness is gone. Darkness is an absence of light. We can follow the footsteps of Jesus and we should reach our destination safely.

The Impact of Physical Appetites: Adrian discusses how unchecked physical desires can hinder our spiritual connection with God. 2. The Benefits of Physical Discipline: Fasting can lead to spiritual rewards, such as increased focus, heightened sensitivity to the Holy Spirit, and a deeper understanding of God's Word. 3/ Fasting as an Act of Sacrifice: By denying ourselves physical pleasures, we demonstrate our devotion to God and our willingness to sacrifice for His kingdom. This message offers a fresh perspective on fasting and encourages listeners to consider incorporating it into their spiritual practices.
