Talk 1 : Anoint me with fresh oil

One way the enemy attacks us is to distance us from the memories we have of God, and the blush and beauty of when we first met Him. Often our memories of God are limited by the bad things that have happened to us. But God is much, much more than these memories. The first step to going forward in God is to realize that it isn’t about us but about Him. When we realize this, there is no pressure. God is no respecter of persons and uses the broken, the inexperienced and those who are willing to be used by Him. On this CD Steve calls us to deeper understanding that it is not about us but about the Holy Spirit in us, the indwelling Christ. Christ in us the hope of glory and that there is more in Him than we could ever hope for.

Talk 2 : A journey you should not have taken

In the book of Ruth a man takes his wife Naomi and two sons to the pagan country of Moab because of the famine in Judah. But the journey to Moab is a disaster because the man and his sons die and leaving Naomi and two Moabite daughters in law alone. Sometimes we can find ourselves on a trip to Moab (compromise) because we are running from a spiritual famine in our lives. In this CD Steve gives some keys to surviving the famine and avoiding a journey to Moab. He also reminds us that, in all the places of compromise, God offers a way back home. God wants to get rid of the “Moabs” in your life. When Naomi decides to go home to Judah, Ruth, one of her daughters in law, goes too declaring: “Your God will be my God”. Naomi was a doorway for Ruth into Gods presence. God wants to raise up Naomi’s. Are you meant to be a Naomi to a Ruth in your life?

Talk 3 : Leaving the land of leftovers

From the moment Ruth arrived in Judah with Naomi we see how God helped her to walk out his plan of redemption for her life. The essence of her story can be our story. When Ruth first finds herself in Boaz’s field she is a foreigner picking up grain from the corners of the field – she’s picking up leftovers. But through perseverance, loyalty, obedience and good character God leads her from the corner of a field picking up leftovers, to a threshing floor and then to redemption. She reaped a linage, a husband and a people – in the line of Jesus. It doesn’t matter how you start it matters how you finish. In the making of us there has to be a breaking. The threshing floor is the place of winnowing, the place of change. Our journey to God is a series of decisions.

Talk 4 : Stepping stones

Your circumstances can’t stop you fulfilling your destiny. Circumstances can become stepping stones. You get purged, purified and then you receive the blessing. Consider it all joy! Testing precedes the power of God. Jesus was lead into the desert experience where he was tempted to disobey God. But he resists and returns with the power of God on him. Your heart has to be tested to see what is in it. Every time you resist temptation you are empowered. Every trial is an opportunity for promotion or demotion. God uses adversity to purify us.

Talk 5 : Return to Bethel

In the book of Genesis God tells Jacob to go back to Bethel to build an altar to Him there. He and his family could take no foreign Gods and they had to purify themselves. Bethel was the place where God had appeared to Jacob when he was fleeing from his brother Esau and when Jacob went back there it became the place of a second visitation. God has an encounter for you at your Bethel – your place of visitation – the place where you remember. God’s sovereignty will meet and redirect your life when you get there. Where is your Bethel?

Talk 6 : Renewed as the eagle

Isaiah 40:31 says: “but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles.” Eagles are the king of the birds. We too can be eagles as we press into God – as we place our hope and trust in Him. But like baby eagles, many of us need to be pushed out the nest in order to fly. As soon as it is practical God arranges for us to grow up – we are pushed out of our familiar nests of comfort by the One who loves us most …. because God knows that inside of us is a pair of eagles wings that are meant for soaring!
