What does God really want us to know about who He is? His Word is perfect, we are not. We have morphed and twisted His perfect message into self-justifications based our ideas of who He is. We can’t limit an infinitely Sovereign God who has clearly communicated His purpose, priorities, and plans for us. He is bigger than we can express. He is larger than we can explain. So we move beyond our divisions, to His Prayer. He prayed we \"...would be one...\" Jesus prayed we would know, The Heart Of God.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-24T00:20:26.849255+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-heart-of-god-7029433"},"episode":{"title":"Episode 144 A Blessing For The Taking!","slug":"episode-144-a-blessing-for-the-taking","published_at":"2026-05-19T06:16:03+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-heart-of-god-7029433/episode-144-a-blessing-for-the-taking","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-heart-of-god-7029433","url":"https://barryvoorhies.podbean.com/e/episode-144-a-blessing-for-the-taking/","audio_url":"https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/ykgujyw4ptck9ipq/Episode_144_A_Blessing_For_The_Taking_a11th.mp3","summary":"\"Welcome to The Heart of God podcast, where we open the Scriptures together to encounter the heart of our Father and find strength, hope, and wisdom for the days we’re living in. I’m your host, Barry Voorhies, and in Episode 144, we’re stepping into one of the most powerful and practical promises Jesus ever gave His followers. In this episode, A Blessing For The Taking, we explore the promise Jesus made immediately after delivering the most important prophecy of His entire ministry. In Matthew 24, His disciples asked Him a two-part question: ‘Lord, what will be the sign of Your coming and of the end of the age?’ Jesus’ detailed answer has become the foundation and center of every major prophetic passage in both the Old and New Testaments. But here’s what many miss — right after unfolding the signs of His return, the rise of false christs, wars, rumors of wars, tribulation, and the glorious appearing of the Son of Man, Jesus turns to His disciples and makes a direct, personal promise to anyone willing to do one simple but powerful thing. This is a blessing for the taking — an invitation to invest your life in Jesus’ coming Kingdom and receive eternal rewards that will last forever. Whether you’re studying end-times prophecy, feeling overwhelmed by the signs all around us, or simply want to live with eternity in view, this episode will show you how to claim the blessing Jesus has already prepared for you. If you’ve ever wondered what Jesus actually said about the end of the age, how to rightly interpret Matthew 24, or how to turn prophetic knowledge into eternal reward, this message is for you. Discover how understanding the signs of Christ’s return isn’t just about knowing the future — it’s about positioning your heart for a blessing that no one can take away.
