Episodes
-
The "Open Door" to The Presence of God
Sometimes the path to experiencing more of God’s presence is not what we would expect - it is typically counter intuitive. We long for smooth sailing—a life free from trouble, pain, disappointment, or uncertainty. We hope for good health, peaceful days, and a future where everything finally falls...
-
A NEW YOU (Pt2)
Transformation. What does it mean? A change into a different form or purpose. How to 'transform' oneself is, at best, illusive. Transformation is analogous to increasing Vitamin D levels . . . you must get into direct sunlight. So too, everyone who comes 'face to face', so to say, in the presence...
-
A New You
God has made a new and extraordinary way for ordinary people to experience genuine personal transformation. It may seem counterintuitive. It doesn’t begin with striving harder, becoming a better person. It begins with something simpler: a willingness to say "yes", a small measure of faith, and...
-
God Waits for Your Response!
God’s great call to action is proclaimed in the Incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ. In the coming of the Son of God, heaven and earth are summoned to respond. The eternal Word took on flesh and entered our world in humility and grace, yet His arrival remains the most glorious event in human...
-
You are Sacred to God!
We live in a multicultural, polytheistic world where beliefs affecting life quality, opinions about the afterlife, and the nature and workings of God are as varied as sunsets are unique. Yet, there remains a deep uncertainty about the veracity of these claims. Amid this landscape, Jesus…

Living "Prepared" for Jesus' Return
"End Times" chatter fills social media. The pundits and "experts" are hyper-focused on political events, natural disasters, declining cultural norms, etc. There is a dearth of biblical & spiritual guidance of readiness for Jesus second coming and how to live so as to please God. This podcast...
-
The Open Door to Life
The 'Return of Jesus' is on the horizon. The salient question before us is: How should I live? What matters should occupy my focus? Paul presents poignant, life changing truths to the church in Rome which directly impact the sanctity ("holiness") of their lives and ours by extension. That truth…

Christ's Return - The Air or The Earth?

-
Christ's Second Coming on the Horizon

Christ in You: No Wrath, No Vengeance
The Abigail - David encounter in 1 Samuel 25 is a textbook model of being used of God to help (a believer) remain in the will of God. David, after being a victim of a wrath-triggering experience, was skillfully moved by this woman to remain in God's will as it pertained to his life and service.

Christ, the Christian's Inner Character Part 2
Christ is the Christian’s character. Are we constrained to have stunted spiritual growth - being the same as we were a month ago, a year ago? Five years ago? No! Character is malleable. God wants us to grow, the Spirit compels growth, and we should never settle for ”just enough”. ”Be filled with...

As It Was In the Days of Noah
We are in "The Last Days". This is not subject to debate. Pandemics, societal anarchy, new social-relational aberrations, upsurge of 'New Age' religious practices, unbounded immorality, biblical spiritual decline . . . Jesus, the Christ, was clear in his warning that "as it was in the day of…

Influence with God - Impact with mankind
The critical truth showing how God is influenced to be strong on your behalf and impact mankind was given by Jesus, the Christ in Mathew's Gospel, 17:14-21. He identified prayer and fasting as the only to make a Christian influential for the kingdom God, man's good, and holy in a pagan world.

The "Prize" in an All Out Pursuit of God?
People often ask me: "What do I gain if I pursue God with all I've got?" The greatest prize, gift, benefit, or outcome . . . is God Himself Full Video: https://youtu.be/k1iVcyVJVy4?si=80RewUL-sQwxmu74
-
Is Pleasing God Impossible?
Is pleasing God an impossible task? It is written, ". . . without faith, it is impossible to please Him (God) for he that comes to God must believe that He is . . .". Pleasing God begins with a clear acknowledgment that He exists, and He awaits the evidence of a willing, obedient life.
-
Touch the Invisible
The exercise of faith is not distinct from developing an upright, holy character. Connection with God - the ability to "touch the hand of God" in one's life experience is predicated on having a character standing before God that is God-approved. #christianjavois.com www.christianjavois.com

-
A Changed Life
What good is a "belief" if it does not result in a "Life and Lip" Transformation? It is a dead faith, a life-less dogma. The Christian's mandate is to validate in word as well as deed that there is available grace to live an extraordinary life.
-
Grace! Deliverance from Law and Law Keeping.
The grace of God is the Christian's "enabling power," making deliverance from sin's penalty and power a reality. There is no power in any person or any method that can deliver from the power of sin apart from the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.
-
The Absolute Guarantee of Sins Forgiven

-

-
The Paradox of Choice
Freedom of choice when addressing moral issues creates conundrums because we are exercised to eliminate the risks while capitalizing on personal benefit.

-
Back to God from the ”Broad way”

-
God’s Providence in Answering Prayer vs The Law of Attraction
The popular notion is that we can create the life of our dreams by practicing the Law of Attraction. You've undoubtedly heard about "putting a thought or words into the universe." Is there merit to this philosophy? This podcast examines the core beliefs contrasted: Answered prayer in response to...
-
The Peril of Forgetfulness
Just as there are learning models that categorize the stages people pass through in skills development, so too in spiritual development. Christians pass from infancy - needing the "milk" of the word to maturity - actively walking in the Spirit. There is corresponding conduct that flows from each...
-
In His Presence
God's Presence is the "Jewel" of the spiritual life! Yet, God uses "impossible" crises, driving us into his presence, so we might experience his ability to do exceedingly above all we could ever ask. By His grace, embrace the trial as a divinely ordained circumstance for good and for a blessing!

Covenant of Terror: When God Take You to Court for Breach of Contract

-
God’s Terror
The "Saints" have lost the sense of the high notion of the Glory of God. What is the result of a diminished view of God's glory? We experience a reduced need to be holy, fearlessness in offending a Holy God, and lives bearing thorns, thistles, & weeds, and calling it "fruit."
-
Recuperating from Moral Failure
When you've strayed from The Path and God's Presence, the way back is to repent of the works that offended God and man, return to the first works which pleased God, and return to the "first love" of your soul's deliverance from eternal loss

The Anatomy of Rebellion (2 Chronicles. 18:1 - 27)
Flawed reasoning concerning God's sacred and holy things leads us down the path of rebellion. God, in His mercy, shows us the "red flags" of disobedience, compromise, and self-will so that we can avoid spiritual danger and continue on the right path in the Presence of God.
-
Convictions:Power & Risk (2Chron. 18:1 - 19:2)
Wholesome convictions drive us towards what is right and good if guided by the scriptures. Conversely, convictions may also pull us away from the very goals we aspire to achieve because they lull us into a false sense of invincibility.
-
Life’s Missed Opportunities (2 Chronicles. 16:1-14)
The question "Why is this happening to me?" is important because the trial contains a growth opportunity. We fail to grasp the "Will of God" because our efforts are centered on escaping the challenge instead of discerning God's purpose for us. This podcast is about a man who knew God's will, but...
-
Perfect Peace: Exclusivity and Choice

-
Perfect Peace by Choice (Is. 26:3)
We want peace. The agreement is: Be anxious for nothing but by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God, and the peace of God shall guard your hearts. Peace is a choice if we agree with God to call on Him, and He promises to grace us with peace.
