Before you believe you receive, find the Word you should believe. Discover why Scripture and the Holy Spirit are essential before you pray in faith.

Have you ever prayed about something you needed from God and wondered why you weren't getting results? The Prayer of Believing That You Receive begins with knowing what God's Word says about what you are asking for. Find Scripture that covers your case, rightly divide the Word, receive it into your spirit, and don't ignore the Holy Spirit who lives in you to help you. Find the Word. Then believe you receive.

Have you ever prayed a Bible prayer and wondered why it didn't seem to work? The Bible doesn't present prayer as one big pot where everything gets thrown together. There are different kinds of prayer with different purposes and principles that govern them. In this episode, we examine nine kinds of prayer and learn why every Jesus follower needs to know what you're praying and know how it works.

Why hasn't Jesus come yet? Peter answers that question by showing us God's perspective on time and the longsuffering heart behind what men call delay. God is not slack. He has not forgotten His promise. Jesus is coming again—but until He does, never forget why He waits.

Spiritual drift doesn't happen overnight. In this study of 2 Peter 3:1–9, Peter gives every believer a practical pattern for remaining spiritually awake. Discover how to develop a sincere mind, stay continually stirred through the ministry of the Holy Spirit, keep first things first, and never allow God's truth to escape your notice.

Why does it sometimes appear that wicked people prosper while faithful believers struggle?

In this study of 2 Peter 2:9–10, Peter reveals that appearances never tell the whole story. The Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials, and He knows how to keep the unrighteous under judgment until the final Day of Judgment. God has never lost sight of either group.

Discover why opposition to the gospel should not cause you to question whether you are in God's will, how God's justice operates in both the present and the future, and why the everyday life of the righteous is fundamentally different from the life of those who persist in wickedness.

Don't just look—see as God sees.

When life feels as though the odds are stacked against you, Peter reminds believers of a timeless truth: the Lord knows how to protect and rescue His people. Through the lives of Noah and Lot, discover how God faithfully watches over the righteous, why He always puts His thumb on the scale, and how our responsibility is simply to cooperate with Him. God knows—so cooperate.

God has already done His part.

The question is—are you doing yours?

In this study of 2 Peter 1:5–10, Peter teaches that spiritual maturity requires intentional diligence. Every believer already possesses the virtues of the divine nature through the new birth, but those virtues must be acknowledged, cultivated, and increased. Discover why diligence determines destiny, why repetition in Scripture reveals God's emphasis, and why Peter warns that neglected spiritual growth results in a life that becomes useless, unproductive, spiritually blind, and short-sighted.

Spiritual maturity is not automatic—nothing in God is automatic. Maturity is developed. In 2 Peter 1, the apostle Peter reveals God’s mind-blowing provision for every believer: an equal saving faith, precious and magnificent promises, that allow us to partake of the divine nature itself. Pause, and think about that! But these promises are gifts that you are supposed to open. They are meant to be pursued with eager, wholehearted diligence as believers. We are to develop excellence, grow in the knowledge of God, and increasingly reflect the character of Jesus. Discover God’s Ladder of Virtue and why it is a lifelong journey of transformation that helps Jesus’ followers escape the corruption of the world. The divine nature is to be developed and displayed in your everyday life. That’s why in this week’s Light on Life episode we are talking about Your Goal: The Remarkable Jesus Life Developed and Displayed.

This Week: Develop His nature and display His nature by asking the Holy Spirit where He is calling you to grow, then responding with all diligence through His promises, His Word, prayer, meditation, waiting on God, and obedience.

What does real obedience to God actually look like in your everyday life? Many Jesus followers know that obedience matters, but how many understand why it matters? For example, what’s the bridge between obedience and spiritual authority? What about the necessary link to divine direction? In this week’s Light on Life Podcast, discover why obedience begins with walking in what you already know. Learn how the apostles gave us a pattern for “looking to listen” before flexing the authority of Jesus. See why Godly authority must remain under God’s authority, and how fixing your gaze on Jesus trains your heart for a practiced life of obedience. If you have ever wondered how to move from casual spirituality into a deliberate life of hearing and obeying God, this teaching will help anchor your walk. Why Learning to Listen Is the First Step of Obedience, that’s our focus on this week’s Light on Life.

This Week: Identify one command of Scripture you already know but have been delaying. Practice immediate obedience in that area. Fix your gaze on Jesus, meditate on His Word, and train your heart to respond quickly to His direction.
