Greetings All!

Please seriously consider supporting our full-time ministry as we head into another increasingly "radicalised" year of service for the soon-to-come Lord Jesus. Neither of us now have salaries and the work we do in the background to produce all that we do is significant. As I explain in this teaching session, regular videos/podcasts will resume, Lord wiling, when we have a home to move into. You can support us here. Thank you.

The YouTube version of this recording is here.
Title music can be listened to here.

Also of note:

Back in the spring of this I year, I published the seminal work, "The Glorious Few: Redeeming Radicalisation in the Kingdom of God."

In the period of 2 weeks following publishing, several major things happened all at once that could have happened at any point in the previous 9 years. The disruption of the Lord culminated in Mairi resigning from her role as a Teacher of French in a large secondary school in Edinburgh and was a disruption that I wrote about prophetically in the book's epilogue. This episode of the Into the Pray podcast is Mairi's testimony and, as the final podcast in our home where the podcast began, please let me encourage you to listen with a prayerful heart. Perhaps you'd also share the episode to your networks.

Finally, what would Nick say to your local church and leadership? The 1% Church.

Maranatha!

Why does it feel like there is so much power in a gift? 

A meaningful gift can move someone from neutral to abundance in an instant. 

Can a gift move you if you never received it? 

It doesn’t change the fact that the gift was given. Every new day that gift is readily available to reach out and receive. Not only were we a gift from God the Father to Christ Jesus. But Jesus Christ was a gift to me. Our value to the Father is beyond our understanding because He badly wants our love. 

How hard have you searched for the people that you love? 

Do they experience the joy of your bottomless love for their attention, for their heart, or just to be in their life?

Is it possible to experience the joy of a gift without ever receiving it? 

How can I feel the excitement of a gift if I never open it? 

Eventually, I have to choose to receive it. The willingness required to choose this is up to me. It's a gift I open in faith, not knowing what I’m taking on. Sometimes choosing to let go and truly receive the joy of a gift given in love can be challenging. Many of us have been through a lot. 

Why would anyone love me after what I've done in my life? 

For so long, I walked around knowing there was a plan for me and a higher purpose for my life. I always needed clarification on what this meant. It had never been explicitly clear to me. Once I gave my life to Christ everything changed instantly. I felt this change but didn't fully understand it.

In the same way you can feel heat radiate off a light bulb. My old self was gone, the new creation was born. I was literally developing all over again. I matured into my old self, but my new creation was only just born. Colossians 1:28 growth had started. From being an infant to growing in my faith, learning how to feed myself and walk on my own. Learning who Christ had called me to be. Understanding His will in my life and knowing the truth about who He says I am!

If you're going through this process, you may be like me. I hope to encourage you as you mature in your faith walk with Christ. Understanding your true identity and who Christ made you to be is the beginning of our eternity with Him.

God the Father loves me the same way He loves Jesus.

“I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me.” John 17:23

The high priest's prayer continues, and I ask, can you hear the Lord’s prayer for you and me?

Today is episode 12 in our short identity series. Thank you for following along with us to this point.

The title of today's verse is You are loved by the Father the same way He loves Jesus.

Today we’re talking about God’s love for the believers through his followers.

For so long, I walked around knowing there was a plan for me and a higher purpose for my life. I always needed clarification on what this meant. It had never been explicitly clear to me. Once I gave my life to Christ everything changed instantly. I felt this change but didn't fully understand it.

I’m in God the Father and Jesus the Son.

Today’s, podcast episode comes from John 17:21

“that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me.”

This week, as I have prepared to hear from him, I’ve come to understand this:

Jesus was put on the cross for one reason. 

He was hated more than anything for this reason.

For so long, I walked around knowing there was a plan for me and a higher purpose for my life. I always needed clarification on what this meant. It had never been explicitly clear to me. Once I gave my life to Christ everything changed instantly. I felt this change but didn't fully understand it.

This weeks episode is all about how the Christian is protected from the evil one. I talk a bit about my experience and how I identify with this truth. It is who I am and experiencing this reality will transform our reality, it did for me! 

I hope this verse in John 17 speaks to you the way it did for me. I hope you enjoy!

Today we’re discussing being chosen and appointed by Christ to bear His fruit.

This is an episode that pivots from last weeks episode.

We’re talking about how I was transformed from my old self, to the version Christ chose me to be. 

We talk about what it means to be appointed. 

This verse in John 15:16 is one of my all time favorites. When we walk in our new creation this new life is ruled by all the power of God working through us.  There is no place I’d rather be!

And now by Your grace we come
Now by Your grace we come

Hello!

Thank you for listening to Into the Pray.

If you'd like to listen to my response to Doug Wilson's commentary on the Body of Christ, please see the video here. 

This morning’s devotional looks at Psalm 63 and the soul-thirst of King David within the wilderness of Judah. 

My soul thirsts for you (v1)
My soul will be satisfied (v5)
My soul clings to you (v8)

As you live in the world, are you aware of your extreme soul-thirst?

Look out for another podcast shortly with the audio I mentioned from the video responding to Doug Wilson’s commentary on the Body of Christ.

Thank you for your prayers as I compete my second manuscript. If you'd like to support this project as a partly auto-biographical follow-on from Body Zero (2019), please drop me a line.
