The Holy Spirit has been, as an unseen wind, silently DRAWING Nicodemus to Jesus. 👇 Little did he know that in that curious encounter in the middle of the night on the Mount of Olives, seeds would be sown in his heart that will forever change his life. 👇 🎙 The Struggling Believer Podcast Season 4 | Episode 17 DRAWING | The Desire of Ages Chapter 17: Nicodemus | DA Sunrise 👇🎙 (Link to all episodes in IG bio) https://anchor.fm/the-struggling-believer/episodes/DRAWING--The-Desire-of-Ages-Chapter-17--DA-Sunrise-e1ahtrr . . . #podcast #podcastlife🎙 #podcastlifestyle #God #DAwithDA #TheDesireofAges #Nicodemus #Jesus #Christ #JesusChrist #Christianity #christianlife #christianlifestyle #John316 #HolySpirit #Spirit #conversion #Bible #biblestudy #ellengwhitewritings #egw #adventist #adventistpodcast #sdapodcast #believe #faith #Drawing #believer #salvation #Messiah https://www.instagram.com/p/CWe5zB9hXhJ/?utm_medium=tumblr

While prejudice surrounded the idea of a Messiah to come, Jesus invited John and Andrew to come and SEE. 👇 It was John the Baptist who first told everyone to BEHOLD the Lamb of God—and those who heard came to Jesus to SEE for themselves what He has to offer. When Philip invited Nathanael, and Nathanael questioned whether there was any good thing to be expected to come out of Nazareth, Philip also responded by saying, “Come and SEE.” In our present day and age, many people are prejudiced about the idea of God and of Jesus. And yet, the invitation is simple. Come, taste, and SEE for yourself that the Lord is indeed good. 👇 🎙 The Struggling Believer Podcast Season 4 | Episode 14 SEE | The Desire of Ages Chapter 14: “We Have Found the Messias” | DA Sunrise 👇🎙 (Link to all episodes in IG bio) https://anchor.fm/the-struggling-believer/episodes/SEE--The-Desire-of-Ages-Chapter-14-We-Have-Found-the-Messias--Morning-Devotion-e19651p . . . #God #DAwithDA #TheDesireofAges #Jesus #ComeandSee #WeHaveFoundtheMessias #JesusChrist #Christ #ChristJesus #Philip #Nathanael #disciples #behold #beholdthelamb #christian #christianity #christianliving #christianinspiration #christianquotes #Messiah #prejudice #tasteandseethelordisgood #bible #biblestudytime #egw #ellengwhite #desireofages #redeemer #savior #Messiah https://www.instagram.com/p/CWe5oiOhK_C/?utm_medium=tumblr

FAITH is the victory that overcomes the temptations in this world. 👇 Jesus demonstrated this FAITH in God the Father and stood victorious against Satan’s advances. When Satan presented scripture as an argument, he purposefully omitted specific vital phrases to prove his point. The enemy is still using the same tactic today. If he cannot lead us to distrust God fully, he will lead us to presumption, which is still opposite in meaning to FAITH. While FAITH trusts God’s word in its completeness and obeys it, presumption will only misuse scripture to excuse a selfish, sinful choice. The good news though is that no one, not even Satan, can really compel or force us to sin or to do evil, unless we yield our minds to his control. As Jesus resisted temptation by the exercise of FAITH, so we too might overcome as soon as we resist the devil and submit ourselves to God. 👇 🎙 The Struggling Believer Podcast Season 4 | Episode 13 FAITH | The Desire of Ages Chapter 13: The Victory | DA Sunrise 👇🎙 (Link to all episodes in IG bio) https://anchor.fm/the-struggling-believer/episodes/FAITH--The-Desire-of-Ages-Chapter-13-The-Victory--Morning-Devotion-e18sogj . . . #DAwithDA #God #TheDesireofAges #jesuschrist #Christianity #temptation #overcome #TheTemptation #victoryoversin #word #Godsword #jesussaves #overcomer #itiswritten #ThusSaithTheLord #victory #trust #OvercomeSin #faith #presumption #faithinGod #trust #distrust #TrustGod #christian #thestrugglingbeliever #thestrugglingbelieverpodcast #believer #FaithInGod #submit https://www.instagram.com/p/CWe5kjkBxha/?utm_medium=tumblr

When assailed with the temptation to doubt God’s WORD, the key to overcoming is also God’s WORD. 👇 “If you are the Son of God...” — Satan was trying to reframe Jesus’s mind about His identity, introducing doubt on the WORD that God the Father had already declared just 40 days earlier during the baptism at the Jordan. The premise of the temptation to turn stones into bread by a method of proof—in terms of the exercise of divine power—appealed to Jesus’s hunger, suffering, and deprivation after 40 days of fasting. As a real human being, it was not without a struggle that Jesus faced this temptation. But, instead of parlaying and reasoning with the devil, Jesus rested upon a plain “Thus saith the Lord.” “It is written,” Jesus said, “that man shall not live by bread alone, but by every WORD that proceeds out of the mouth of God.” Today, when assailed with the temptation to do things that appeal to the appetite but are not aligned with what is right—with the principle of selfless love—we may look to Jesus as our Example. Instead of doubting and entertaining the “if,” we choose to trust God’s heart and God’s WORD, which only reveals the heart of a loving Father who will never lie and who only has our best interests at heart. 👇 🎙 The Struggling Believer Podcast Season 4 | Episode 12 WORD | The Desire of Ages Chapter 12: The Temptation | DA Sunrise 👇🎙 (Link to all episodes in IG bio) https://anchor.fm/the-struggling-believer/episodes/WORD--The-Desire-of-Ages-Chapter-12-The-Temptation--Morning-Devotion-e18rnqr . . . #TheDesireofAges #DAwithDA #Jesus #jesuschrist #jesussaves #TheTemptation #temptation #Christianity #ifthoubethesonofgod #victory #victoryoversin #overcome #overcomer #OvercomeSin #thussaiththelord🙏🏽 #ThusSaithTheLord #itiswritten #word #Godsword #trust #trustGod #manna #livingbread #Christian #believer #thestrugglingbeliever #faith #choice #rest #TrustHisHeart https://www.instagram.com/p/CWe5gdVB8Yk/?utm_medium=tumblr

In Jesus, the Beloved Son, we find ACCESS to the Father. 👇 As Jesus, in His baptism, was given the assurance, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well-pleased,” we too are given the confidence that we are God’s beloved children, in whom He is well-pleased. While our sinful, selfish choices have separated us from God, through Jesus, we are once again connected to God. Before us is presented an open ACCESS to an open door. Jesus invites us to bury our sinful self in the waters of baptism—just as He, being our Example, did—and then come up out of the waters to live a new life; a selfless, self-giving, love-centered, other-centered life through Christ. Jesus, while being the Sinless One, identified Himself with us, sinners, and came to John to be baptized. He took the steps we are to take, that He might be our Example, and that He may open the ACCESS for us to be once again connected with God. 👇 🎙 The Struggling Believer Podcast Season 4 | Episode 11 ACCESS | The Desire of Ages Chapter 11: The Baptism | DA Sunrise 👇🎙 (Link to all episodes in IG bio) https://anchor.fm/the-struggling-believer/episodes/ACCESS--The-Desire-of-Ages-Chapter-11-The-Baptism--Morning-Devotion-e18h21h . . . #DAwithDA #TheDesireofAges #TheBaptism #Jesus #Christ #ChristJesus #Christianity #baptism #baptismbyimmersion #waters #newlife #JohntheBaptist #Access #salvation #redemption #opendoor #sanctification #forgiveness #Savior #Example #Redeemer #forgivenessheals #forgivenessisfreedom #Jesussaves #Bible #EGW #EllenGWhite #TheConflictBeautiful #GodisLove #Godisgood https://www.instagram.com/p/CWe5dUmBn2j/?utm_medium=tumblr

John the Baptist came to the scene to STARTLE the people—to awaken them to the reality of their ways—to their sinfulness, selfishness, self-centeredness, and wickedness. 👇 John’s was a STARTLING message, but it wasn’t given just for the sake of startling. His humble life, his voice, his words of rebuke and calls to repentance—all these were to break open the hardened soil, the hardened hearts of the people. His STARTLING voice in the wilderness was to prepare these hearts for the sowing of the seeds of righteousness, that is, of right-doing and of living by the principle of other-centered love. While John’s message was STARTLING and stern, it was also full of hope. Once broken, people would finally feel their need for the Great Healer. Thus John was indeed to prepare the way for the Savior and heart-surgeon Jesus. 👇 🎙 The Struggling Believer Podcast Season 4 | Episode 10 STARTLE | The Desire of Ages Chapter 10: The Voice in the Wildnerness | DA Sunrise 👇🎙 (Link to all episodes in IG bio) https://anchor.fm/the-struggling-believer/episodes/STARTLE--The-Desire-of-Ages-Chapter-10-The-Voice-in-the-Wilderness--Morning-Devotion-e18c057 . . . #dawithda #thedesireofages #God #Jesus #JesusChrist #Christ #JohntheBaptist #wilderness #thevoiceinthewilderness #prepareye #prepareyethewayofthelord #prepareyetheway #christianitypost #Christianlife #sin #selfishness #brokenness #healing #salvation #redemption #Jesusheals #Jesussaves #character #heart #christiancharacter #heartsurgery #transformation #repentance #forgiveness #confession https://www.instagram.com/p/CWe5aQdBjoP/?utm_medium=tumblr

The young Jesus was DIFFERENT—He behaved differently because He had a different standard from the rest of His brothers and all the people surrounding Him. 👇 This DIFFERENCE became the very point of conflict. Jesus experienced many days of conflict, where He was constantly bullied and bashed. He became the subject of gossip and was often labeled as straight-laced and narrow. And while the world expected Him to retaliate, Jesus acted DIFFERENTLY—He bore everything with patience and unfailing kindness. Yet, He wasn’t just passively quiet. He was also actively making a DIFFERENCE in people’s lives by uplifting downtrodden souls around Him, listening in sympathy with them, and speaking to them words of hope and encouragement. While the ways of the world were based on selfish manmade rules, the way of God was revealed in His Word, and that was what Jesus clung to. Jesus behaved DIFFERENTLY, but His was the way of life that gave light to people’s otherwise miserable lives. 👇 🎙 The Struggling Believer Podcast Season 4 | Episode 9 DIFFERENT | The Desire of Ages Chapter 9: Days of Conflict | DA Sunrise 👇🎙 (Link to all episodes in IG bio) https://anchor.fm/the-struggling-believer/episodes/DIFFERENT--The-Desire-of-Ages-Chapter-9-Days-of-Conflict--Morning-Devotion-e188p9k . . . #DAwithDA #TheDesireofAges #God #Jesus #boyJesus #youngJesus #Different #DaysofConflict #GreatControversy #christian #christianity #christianliving #christianinspiration #Bible #EllenWhite #EGW #JesusChrist #BibleStudy #GodsWord #WordofGod #sympathy #Savior #Redeemer #Friend #Example #ChristianBehavior #Jesuslovesyou #Jesusislove #Godislove #love https://www.instagram.com/p/CWe5VLJBL7j/?utm_medium=tumblr

By the stubborn NEGLECT of the rabbis and the learned people of the truths the 12-year-old boy Jesus had presented to them in the temple, they still missed a spiritual transformation that they would have had if they only humbled themselves. 👇 The boy Jesus had experienced a most wonderful encounter in the paschal service—He was lighting up as He was beginning to realize that the Lamb of God was none other than Him! He sought to open this truth to others, this truth concerning the prophecies that pointed to the Messiah’s suffering. Still, the religious leaders chose to NEGLECT these truths and instead cherish their own selfish ambitions of worldly greatness and national superiority. By one day’s NEGLECT of the presence of Jesus, Joseph and Mary went through an anxious search for Him for three long days. By our own NEGLECT of the presence of Jesus daily, we bring suffering to ourselves, anxiety to our future, and unrest for our souls. The call is to spend a thoughtful hour each day on the life of Christ, that we may not NEGLECT the only way through which our souls can find solace. 👇 🎙 The Struggling Believer Podcast Season 4 | Episode 8 NEGLECT | The Desire of Ages Chapter 8: The Passover Visit | DA Sunrise 👇🎙 (Link to all episodes in IG bio) https://anchor.fm/the-struggling-believer/episodes/NEGLECT--The-Desire-of-Ages-Chapter-8-The-Passover-Visit--Morning-Devotion-e187fb7 . . . #DAwithDA #Christ #TheDesireofAges #Jesus #boyJesus #passover #ThePassoverVisit #lamb #JesustheLamb #LambofGod #salvation #redemption #Neglect #Separation #Christianlife #christian #Christians #ChristJesus #jesuschrist #childjesus #Bible #TheConflictBeautiful #ConflictOfTheAges #Christianity #JewishChristian #EGW #Messiah #Sacrifice #WhereIsJesus #God https://www.instagram.com/p/CWe5RERhKSj/?utm_medium=tumblr
