The Journey to Greatness with Roger and Pat Gosnell

PR. 17:17 A friend loves at all times, 

And a brother is born for adversity.

PR.18:24 A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.

Join me as we talk about true biblical friendship.

Jesus said if we have been forgiven much we will love much and he talking everyone. Some are not aware of how much God has forgiven, it includes all sins, past, present, future. That is the wonderful good news of the gospel. Join me and let's talk about it.

Eph.4:32 Be kind and helpful to one another, tender-hearted [compassionate, understanding], forgiving one another [readily and freely], just as God in Christ also forgave you.

Matt. 6:12 And forgive us our debts, as we have forgiven our debtors [letting go of both the wrong and the resentment].

Matt 18:34 And in wrath his master turned him over to the torturers (jailers) until he paid all that he owed.

35 My heavenly Father will also do the same to [every one of] you, if each of you does not forgive his brother from your heart.”

Deut.8:18 But you shall remember [with profound respect] the LORD your God, for it is He who is giving you power to make wealth, that He may confirm His covenant which He swore (solemnly promised) to your fathers, as it is this day. 2Cor.9:8. And God is able to make all grace [every favor and earthly blessing] come in abundance to you, so that you may always [under all circumstances, regardless of the need] have complete sufficiency in everything [being completely self-sufficient in Him], and have an abundance for every good work and act of charity. God desires to bless you so you can be a blessing, join me as we talk about it.

Jesus did always that which pleased God His Father. This should also be our desire and goal of life to always know and do the will of God.

Rom.12:1-2 Therefore I urge you, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies [dedicating all of yourselves, set apart] as a living sacrifice, holy and well-pleasing to God, which is your rational (logical, intelligent) act of worship.

And do not be conformed to this world [any longer with its superficial values and customs], but be transformed and progressively changed [as you mature spiritually] by the renewing of your mind [focusing on godly values and ethical attitudes], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His plan and purpose for you].

Join us as we discuss the privilege of knowing and doing the will of God.

Jesus did always that which pleased God His father. This also should our desire and goal, to know and do the will of God.

Join me as we talk about the will of God.

1 JN. 3:8 the one who practices sin is of the devil; for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The Son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil.

Ps. 103:3-5 Who forgives all your sins, 

Who heals all your diseases;

Who redeems your life from the pit, 

Who crowns you [lavishly] with lovingkindness and tender mercy;

Who satisfies your years with good things, 

So that your youth is renewed like the [soaring] eagle.

Sickness and diseases are the works of Satan and Jesus came to destroy all the works of the evil one. Join me and let's talk about it.

Some do not see the importance of healing for spirit, soul, and bodies. All three are included in the atonement that Jesus provided for all who will believe and receive. Join me and let's talk about it.

1 Cor.15:57 but thanks be to God, who gives us the victory [as conquerors] through our Lord Jesus Christ.
1 Jn. 5:4 For everyone born of God is victorious and overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has conquered andovercome the world — our [continuing, persistent] faith [in Jesus the Son of God].
We are either fighting a battle that has been already lost or we are claiming the victory that has already won by Jesus Christ our Savior. Let’s ride around for a while and talk about this.

1 Cor. 15:24-28 After that comes the end (completion), when He hands over the kingdom to God the Father, after He has made inoperative and abolished every ruler and every authority and power.

For Christ must reign [as King] until He has put all His enemies under His feet.

The last enemy to be abolished and put to an end is death.

For HE (the Father) HAS PUT ALL THINGS IN SUBJECTION UNDER HIS (Christ’s) FEET. But when He says, “All things have been put in subjection [under Christ], ” it is clear that He (the Father) who put all things in subjection to Him (Christ) is excepted [since the Father is not in subjection to His own Son].

However, when all things are subjected to Him (Christ), then the Son Himself will also be subjected to the One (the Father) who put all things under Him, so that God may be all in all [manifesting His glory without any opposition, the supreme indwelling and controlling factor of life].

This is great news, God the Father's glory shall be all in all without any opposition. The whole world shall be filled with the character of GOD THE FATHER, what a wonder place to live, in His presences is fullness of joy, in His right hand there are pleasures forevermore. PRAISE GOD! Let's talk about it.

The resurrection of Jesus is a guarantee that no matter how bad you have been in the past, how hopeless your situation maybe, you can start over again. Just like Jesus overcame death, hell, and the grave, so you too can live the more abundant live with victory over sin and defeat. Join me and let's talk about your new beginning in Christ.

JOSH.1:6-9 Be strong and confident and courageous, for you will give this people as an inheritance the land which I swore to their fathers (ancestors) to give them.

Only be strong and very courageous; be careful to do [everything] in accordance with the entire law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, so that you may prosper and be successful wherever you go.

This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall read [and meditate on] it day and night, so that you may be careful to do [everything] in accordance with all that is written in it; for then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will be successful.

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous! Do not be terrified or dismayed (intimidated), for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”

How does God develop courage in us? Join me as we ride around with the Holy Spirit and talk about it.

Josh.1:6. Be strong and confident and courageous, for you will give this people as an inheritance the land which I swore to their fathers (ancestors) to give them.

7.Only be strong and very courageous; be careful to do [everything] in accordance with the entire law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, so that you may prosper and be successful wherever you go.

How can we develop a courageous spirit? Join me and let's talk about it.

Ga.4:1-2 Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father. As we mature as sons and daughter the father can trust us with more of our inheritance. Join me and let's talk about our spiritual inheritance in Christ Jesus.

Rom.14:17 God's kingdom isn't about eating and drinking. It is about pleasing God, about living in peace, and about true happiness. All this comes from the Holy Spirit.

How can we live in our inheritance in the kingdom of God now? Join me as we talk about THE KINGDOM OF GOD.

We need to remove all ungodly beliefs that the enemy has spoken to us. We transform ungodly beliefs by renewing our minds with God's words, written and spoken to us. Join me as we talk about it.

Zac.4:6b Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts. Jesus said He did His works by dependence upon God His Father and so should we live our lives by total dependence upon God, Jesus, Holy Spirit to work God's work through us. Join me and let's talk about.

1COR.14:2,5

2.For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.

5. I would that ye all spake with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.

Praying in the Spirit edifies, (builds up) ourselves and the church when interpreted. Paul prays every christian would pray with this beautiful spiritual language as a direct line to God our Father. Join me and let's talk about it.

ACTS 1:4-5 And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.

For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.

The New Testament teaches us we need to be indwelt, filled and baptized by the Holy Spirit. Join me as we talk about it.

Mark 16:17-18

And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

Jesus said the gifts of Holy Spirit shall follow them that believe. I believe we need all the gifts and fruit of the Holy Spirit operating in our lives and the church today just like in the book of Acts. Join me and let's talk about it.

Eph. 2:8-10 For it is by grace [God’s remarkable compassion and favor drawing you to Christ] that you have been saved [actually delivered from judgment and given eternal life] through faith. And this [salvation] is not of yourselves [not through your own effort], but it is the [undeserved, gracious] gift of God;

not as a result of [your] works [nor your attempts to keep the Law], so that no one will [be able to] boast or take credit in any way [for his salvation].

For we are His workmanship [His own master work, a work of art], created in Christ Jesus [reborn from above — spiritually transformed, renewed, ready to be used] for good works, which God prepared [for us] beforehand [taking paths which He set], so that we would walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us].

We are not saved by good works, so what has good living got to do with our salvation? Join me as talk about it.

Roman 6-8 explains how we as Christians overcome all of our enemies, including the flesh, world and Satan. These are some the most important instructions in the Bible. Join me as we talk about HOW TO ACTIVATE GOD'S VICTORY OVER SIN.

In Ephesians 5 Paul instructs each member of the family to be being filled with the Holy Spirit and meet the needs of each family member just like God meets our needs.

1Peter 3:7 In the same way, you husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way [with great gentleness and tact, and with an intelligent regard for the marriage relationship], as with someone physically weaker, since she is a woman. Show her honor and respect as a fellow heir of the grace of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered or ineffective.

Let's talk about loving and giving to others the way God loves and gives to us.

Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you through and through [that is, separate you from profane and vulgar things, make you pure and whole and undamaged — consecrated to Him — set apart for His purpose]; and may your spirit and soul and body be kept complete and [be found] blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Faithful and absolutely trustworthy is He who is calling you [to Himself for your salvation], and He will do it [He will fulfill His call by making you holy, guarding you, watching over you, and protecting you as His own]. 1Thess.5:23-24.

With every temptation God has promised He has already made a way of escape, so we can live victorious. Join me and let's talk about it.

Jer.29:13 Then [with a deep longing] you will seek Me and require Me [as a vital necessity] and [you will] find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.

God wants to bless us with everything he has, so let's remove anything in our way and put God first in our lives. Join me as we talk about it.

We as the church need to know all that God through Jesus has provided for us to operate in as His body in these last days. Join me as we talk about our inheritance in Jesus Christ.

The test of our spiritual maturity is how much we trust God when things don't turn out like we planned. Job said, "though He slay me yet I will trust Him and still praise and give thanks. We can totally trust God to always do what is best for us and our family. Join me and let's talk about it.

We exist to glorify God for who He is and for all He does. Therefore we need to know what brings glory to God and what can we be and do to glorify God. Join me as we talk about it.

1Cor. 3:13-14 each one’s work will be clearly shown [for what it is]; for the day [of judgment] will disclose it, because it is to be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality and character and worth of each person’s work. 14. If any person’s work which he has built [on this foundation, that is, any outcome of his effort] remains [and survives this test], he will receive a reward.

Only one life, twill soon be past, only what is done for Christ will last. Jesus did always that which pleased His Father and so are we called to do the same. Join me as we talk about it.

2 Sa.12:8 I also gave you your master’s house, and put your master’s wives into your care and under your protection, and I gave you the house (royal dynasty) of Israel and of Judah; and if that had been too little, I would have given you much more!

Rom. 8:32 He who did not spare [even] His own Son, but gave Him up for us all, how will He not also, along with Him, graciously give us all things?

It is Father desire to bless us with all we can successfully steward without causes to be distracted from seeking first His Kingdom. Join me as we talk about it.

LK.1:31-33 Listen carefully: you will conceive in your womb and give birth to a son, and you shall name Him Jesus.

He will be great and eminent and will be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David;

and He will reign over the house of Jacob (Israel) forever, and of His kingdom there shall be no end.”

HIS MINISTRY FOUNDATION IS LOVE

HIS MINISTRY METHOD IS SERVANTHOOD

HIS MINISTRY PERSONA IS INTEGRITY

Get in and ride around with me as we talk about.

As New Testament Priesthood we don't offer sacrifices of bulls and goats but sacrifices of thanksgivings, praises, prayers, and ourselves as a living sacrifices for the healing of others, just like Jesus.

1 PETER 2:9 But you are A CHOSEN RACE,  A royal PRIESTHOOD,  A CONSECRATED NATION,  A [special] PEOPLE FOR God’s OWN POSSESSION, so that you may proclaim the excellencies [the wonderful deeds and virtues and perfections] of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.

1 Peter 2:21. For [as a believer] you have been called for this purpose, since Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you may follow in His footsteps.

Ps. 16:11 You will show me the path of life; 

In Your presence is fullness of joy; 

In Your right hand there are pleasures forevermore.

Join me as we talk about LIVING IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD where there is fulness of joy and pleasures forever more.

1 Cor. 11.1 Imitate me, just as I imitate Christ.

Paul challenges us to follow him as he follows Christ. So our example influences others for good or bad. Let's talk about our examples and the examples of others on us.

Mt.6:33 But first and most importantly seek (aim at, strive after) His kingdom and His righteousness [His way of doing and being right — the attitude and character of God], and all these things will be given to you also.

Phil.3:8 But more than that, I count everything as loss compared to the priceless privilege and supreme advantage of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord [and of growing more deeply and thoroughly acquainted with Him — a joy unequaled]. For His sake I have lost everything, and I consider it all garbage, so that I may gain Christ,

Jesus deserves first place in our lives, let's talk about it.

Prov. 14:12 There is a way which seems right to a man and appears straight before him, 

But its end is the way of death.

Prov. 19:3 The foolishness of man undermines his way [ruining whatever he undertakes]; 

Then his heart is resentful and rages against the LORD [for, being a fool, he blames the LORD instead of himself].

For us to live in the blessings of God we must follow His instructions

and not give place to the enemy to still, kill and destroy. Join me and let's talk about it.

Deut.8:2-3 And you shall remember [always] all the ways which the LORD your God has led you these forty years in the wilderness, so that He might humble you and test you, to know what was in your heart (mind), whether you would keep His commandments or not.

He humbled you and allowed you to be hungry and fed you with manna, [a substance] which you did not know, nor did your fathers know, so that He might make you understand [by personal experience] that man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of the LORD.

The dealings of God are to humble us, expose what is in our hearts and educate us to our true source of life. Join me as we talk about it.
