The podcast where you will find guidance and strength for life's toughest battles. Here you'll be inspired and spiritually grounded through my daily devotions, discovering the power of deliverance and peace that comes from God's Word. If you're depressed, if you're living in fear, if you're sad, or if you're discouraged today I want you to know that you will make it. This too shall pass in your life and everything will be alright. The Bible says that weeping goes on for a season, but joy cometh in the morning. I want you to know this, brothers and sisters, adversity in our life is going to come. Jesus says, in this life you will have trouble. But take heart because he has overcome the world. It simply means he has the blueprint of how to overcome trouble. And if he's living on the inside of you, if you are a child of God today, you will overcome because he promises to fight all of our battles. What we need is to have faith in him.00:01:37  Faith that God knows exactly what he's doing. Faith that God has his hand on the thermometer of our lives. He knows how high to turn the temperature up. He knows how low to turn it down. He knows exactly what we need when we need it in. His grace is sufficient for today. Don't worry about tomorrow or next week, or next month or next year. God will have the grace to meet next week, next month or next year. Sufficient is his grace for today. I want you to know this, that the Bible says in Philippians one and 21 it says something interesting. Paul says, for to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. Adversity purifies our motives. Paul in this text he evaluates all experiences through his life purpose. And when he look over his life, he realizes to live is Christ and to die is gain. The more I suffer, the more I go through trouble and affliction it is, the more I experience Christ in me. See, understand that we go through storms, but God often reveals himself in the storm.00:03:17  He often reveals himself in light when there is There's darkness in your life. He often reveals his goodness in trials and tribulation. So be still. Know that he's working. He knows everything you need when you need it. And his grace will always be sufficient. You are a child of the living God, for he knows the number of hairs on your head. God knows it. He loves you and he will never leave you nor forsake you. I know it may seem tough. I know you may get lonely. It may seem like God is not hearing or listening to you, but he hears you. The Bible says he's our high priest. The word declares that the Holy Spirit groans for us. He knows and he loves you. Jesus says, take this cup of suffering the way, but not my will. Your will be done. Focus on God's will and declare in your mind, soul and spirit, not my will, but your will be done. Everything is going to be okay in your life, and this too shall pass.00:04:36  Wipe your tears. Pick your head up. Stand strong. Don't let the enemy win in your life. By listening to his voices. Be sensitive to the voice of the Holy Spirit. And allow the spirit to lead and guide you into all truth. Amen. Let's pray. Father, we come before your presence right now, and we pray that you would fill us with all hope. Fill us with your grace. Fill us with your peace that surpasses all that we know. We pray, father, that in the midst of trials, in the midst of trouble, in the midst of chaos. Empower us with faith right now to trust in the Lord with all of our hearts. To lean not on our own understanding, but in all of our ways to acknowledge you. And we pray for your Word to direct our path. Father, give us a focus that refuses to be broken. Give us a worship that refuses to be distracted. Oh, father, help us to reflect you in all of our ways.00:06:02  That we may overcome every mountain, every obstacle, every barrier that tries to get in our way. Because greater is he that is in us than he that is in the world. We declare victory today in Jesus name. Amen.

Here you'll be inspired and spiritually grounded through my daily devotions, discovering the power of deliverance and peace that comes from God's Word.So we are in the last series of the title: There is grace for every groan. Within this devotion series, we have talked about the fact that since Adam sinned and bit the apple, a curse entered into this world, and we feel this curse in what is called in the Bible "groanings." Paul says in verse 22, "For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with the birth pains until now." The groanings and birth pains are the suffering and challenges that we go through in life. It's cancer, it's diabetes, it's strokes, it's depression, it's arthritis. It's the pain of loss, the pain of death, the pain of heartache that we feel in this world. These are the groanings from sin, from a fallen world. But there's another turning point that happened in the world, and that is when Jesus Christ came and he died for our sins.And so now God has provided grace for every groan. There's grace, there's a medication, there's an injection for our pain. And it comes in the form of hope. We talked about in the first episode that we have hope, and that is an expectant hope. We are pregnant with God's Spirit. We are pregnant with destiny and we will birth that destiny. It is an expectant, unseen hope and the full manifestation of that hope will happen when we are in heaven and everything has manifested in its fullness, so we have an expectant hope.The second thing in the second episode I talked about that we have is the Holy Spirit. Even in our groanings, the Holy Spirit can take our groanings and interpret them and can help us in times of trouble. Even when you are misunderstood and you cannot find the right words because of our groanings, because of our fallen nature, the Holy Spirit is intelligent, and he will interpret how we feel and guide us towards the will of God. So there's grace for our groanings.Because we have hope, there's grace for our groanings. Because we have the Holy Spirit, there's grace for our groanings. And in our topic today, there is grace for our groanings because we have assurance. That is the main subject that I want to plant in your mind, soul, and spirit today. As you go through the trials of life, as you go through the groanings of life, know that we have assurance from God's Word.The Bible says in verse 28, and that is Romans 8:28, "And we know that all things work together for the good to those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose." All things work together for the good. That simply means that regardless of what you are facing, regardless of your groanings and what you're going through, understand this: your life is under construction. Your life is under construction, and all you have to do is be patient and watch God put all of the parts together in your life. This scripture represents a "coming soon" sign at a construction site because at a construction site it is not pretty.It is a mess. There's red dirt. There's big tractors everywhere. There's pipes. There's steel beams everywhere. And when you look at all of this, it looks a mess. It looks disorganized. And sometimes that is how life can look. Life can look disorganized. Life can look a mess for you at times. But understand that there's a "coming soon" sign because God works it all together for the good. He gives us this hope of assurance. In this scripture, you see what it is now. Don't be discouraged by that. See what it will look like one day. According to God's word, he is working it together for your good. So be patient. Don't be discouraged. Don't be dismayed. Don't give up hope. God is working it all together in your life. I know that it's hard to understand, but the Bible says, "Trust in the Lord with all of your heart and lean not on your own understanding." Because you're limited, you're human, you groan, and you have a fallen nature.But the word says, "Acknowledge him and he will direct your paths." See, we have assurance that all things will work out. There's a purpose for your pain. There's glory at the end of your story, and there will be double for your trouble. At a construction site, it has to be tested before it's used. God will test you before he bless you. In Peter he says that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor and glory—that is in First Peter. In Hebrews 3:4 it says, "For every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of all things." The word declares that unless the Lord builds the house, they that labor labor in vain. See, you must believe that he has good intentions for your life, that God is good because he's been good to you. If you look back over your life, he's delivered you from danger, seen and unseen. God has kept you in times of trouble.If you think back, he's healed you. He's restored you. He's forgiven you. He's been patient with you. Yes, you've had some good days. And you've had some mountains to climb. And maybe you've had some sleepless nights. But when you look around and you think things over, as the song says, all of your good days outweigh your bad days. So we won't complain. We will give glory to who glory belongs to. It belongs to God. Brothers and sisters, there is grace for every groan. There's grace for every problem. There's grace for every situation. And his grace is sufficient. His power works best in your weakness. Three things that we have: we have hope, we have the Holy Spirit, we have his assurance that all things are working together for the good.Let us pray. Father, we thank you for this daily prayer. We thank you for this daily devotion. We thank you, Father, for the daily Scripture because it keeps us. It balances us. It gives us peace. It gives us strength. And we pray, Father, that we would take this devotion and we would walk in joy, because we know that in the midst of groanings, in the midst of trials, in the midst of tribulations, in the midst of everything that we go through, that, Father, you will take all of these dysfunc

The podcast where you will find guidance and strength for life's toughest battles. Here you'll be inspired and spiritually grounded through my daily devotions, discovering the power of deliverance and peace that comes from God's Word.We're in Romans 8:22 through 28, and our topic is based on this: that there is grace for every groan, and the groanings of life are the sufferings that we go through. Romans 8:22 through 28 mentions "groan" three times, because our groanings come from the curse of the first sin that was ever committed upon the earth, and we're still feeling the effects of that curse. So we have groanings. We experience pain, sorrow, and suffering. But in the midst of our pain, sorrow, and suffering, there's grace for every groan because of what Jesus Christ did upon the cross for us.# Hope in SufferingThe first thing that Paul talks about that we have in verse 24 is that we have hope. We have an expected hope, the same hope that a pregnant woman would have—even though she can't see the baby, she can feel it on the inside of her, and she has an expectant hope that she will birth what's on the inside of her.This is the kind of hope we have. Not a hope that it might happen, but a hope that it will happen.# Grace for Every Groan: The Holy SpiritBut we also have in verses 26 and 27, which is my topic for today: grace for every groan. We have the Holy Spirit. We not only have hope, but we have the Holy Spirit. Whenever we can't connect, we have the Holy Spirit. But in order to make things work, we need a connection with the Holy Spirit. There lies the problem. Because oftentimes, because of our groanings, we can't connect. Because we have this thing that's called a fallen nature. Our fallen nature is that part of us that's prone to make mistakes, that's prone to fall, that's prone to sin. It is the imperfect part of us.And because of this fallen nature, we sometimes lack power to concentrate in prayer. We lack power to avoid distractions in prayer. We lack power to stop wandering thoughts in prayer. We lack power to prevent emotional changes in prayer. All because of this fallen nature which comes from the first sin that was committed.# God Understands Our GroaningsBut thank God that my fallen nature can't stop God from understanding me. My fallen nature sometimes can prevent me from understanding God, but my fallen nature cannot stop God from understanding me. My groans can't stop God from getting to me.But here's the thing: you must engage in prayer. You must come to God in prayer. Because even if you can't get your words right in prayer, the Bible says that the Holy Spirit makes intercession for us.Let's read verses 26 and 27 real quick. It says:> "Likewise, the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Now He who searches the heart knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God."See, the Holy Spirit makes intercession for us. Intercession in Greek means to be present with anyone for the purpose of aiding. He aids us not only by praying for us, but He aids us in our prayers with what the Bible says—with groanings, the burden of your heart which cannot be uttered—that is, emotions too deep for language or articulation.# The Intelligence and Direction of the SpiritThe Spirit takes your groanings and interprets them for you. Understand that the Spirit has intelligence, but the Spirit leads you somewhere. It leads you towards the will of God, according to the Bible here, according to the will of God.See, we all have groanings. Jesus even had groanings. He said, "Take this cup of suffering away from me." These were the groanings of going to the cross. But then He said, "Not my will, but your will be done."So we have the Holy Spirit for every groan, that even when we go through suffering and when we go through pain and we can't articulate what we want to say, the Spirit can interpret our sufferings and our pains and direct us towards God's will.So we understand the intelligence of the Spirit and the direction of the Spirit. The Spirit is intelligent enough to interpret our pain, and it has the direction to guide us in that pain towards God's will.Brothers and sisters, there's grace for everything you go through—for every groan.# Conclusion and PrayerFor every groan, because we have hope, expectation, and we also have the Holy Spirit—God Himself—that can interpret us, lead, and guide us.Let us pray.Father, we thank you today that your understanding is unlimited. Your wisdom is infinite. Your knowledge is beyond what we can even understand. And we thank you today, Father, that when we go through things in life, when we lack the power to concentrate, when we lack power to avoid distractions, when we lack power, that is when your grace kicks in and it gives us everything that we don't have.We thank you, Father, for the Holy Spirit who empowers us, who leads us, who strengthens us, who takes our pain and interprets it for us. We thank you, Lord, for being our advocate and our High Priest who has went through everything that we go through, who has already walked the path of the worst sufferings and the biggest challenges. You died on a rugged cross for us, that we may have life, and you left a helper for us, a comforter that is the Holy Spirit.And so we pray, Father, to lean upon what you left for us, to follow it with our whole hearts, minds, and with our souls. To have a sensitive ear and a sensitive eye. To hear the word, to see the word, and a heart to obey the word.In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.

  • The Journey of Expectant Hope : (Romans 8:22-28) : Daily Prayer and Devotional
    📔 Daily Devotion.In this episode of "Warfare Prayers," Pastor Derrick Crosby explores "Grace for Every Groan," inspired by Romans 8:22-28. Addressing life’s struggles, Pastor Crosby contrasts uncertain, everyday hope with the expectant, assured hope found in God’s promises. Listeners are encouraged to persevere with faith, trusting that God’s grace is sufficient for every challenge. The episode includes elements of Daily Prayer, Prayer Guidance, Daily Devotion, Bible Study, and Spiritual Warfare. It concludes with a prayer for strength and guidance, urging listeners to remain steadfast and hopeful, knowing that God’s promises will be fulfilled.📖 Today's ScriptureRomans 8:22-28For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now. Not only that, but we also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body. For we were saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance. Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession [a]for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God. And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.💡 Main TakeawaysTheme of "Grace for Every Groan"Exploration of hope and perseverance in life's challengesInsights derived from Romans 8:22-28Acknowledgment of life's struggles and collective groaning due to original sinAvailability of grace through the sacrifice of Jesus ChristDistinction between uncertain hope and biblical expectant hopeAnalogy of a pregnant woman enduring pain with joyful expectationImportance of trusting in God's promises and waiting with patienceEncouragement to lean on God rather than personal understandingEmphasis on enduring faith and the grace that supports us through difficulties🛡 Spiritual Warfare Resources https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbL9sqcPLOrmzG0c91Igb6wWarfare Prayers Website🙌  Call To Action Subscribe To Warfare Prayer Podcast for daily inspiration, devotion and prayer. Share this episode with someone going through trails and challenges Leave a review for Warfare Prayers Podcast. Support Warfare Prayers Here Warfare Prayer Transcript# IntroductionWelcome to warfare prayers. The podcast where you will find guidance and strength for life's toughest battles. Here you'll be inspired and spiritually grounded through my daily devotions, discovering the power of deliverance and peace that comes from God's Word. We're in the book of Romans eight and 22 through 28. Our topic is grace for every groan. And in our last episode, I talked about the groanings of life, and the groanings of life represent the groans of all creation. It comes from the curse of the first sin that was ever committed upon the earth, and that sin still sticks with us. And this is why we are susceptible to things like cancer, diabetes, depression, and arthritis. We're susceptible to stress and death. These are all groanings. But when Jesus Christ came and he died for our sins. Yes, we go through things still, but there is grace for every groan, because he came that we may have life, and that we may have it abundantly. So the Bible tells us three things that we have in him that I'm going to cover in the next few episodes.---# The Grace of HopeBut the first thing that we have, the grace that we have in him, as the Bible tells us in Romans 8:22 through 28, down in verse 24, it tells us that we have hope. I want you to know this morning that you have hope in the midst of the challenges that you go through in the midst of pain that you face. You have hope. Now the Bible says, for we are saved in this hope. But hope that is seen is not hope. For why does one still hope for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance. Now, when the Bible mentions hope, this is not the type of hope that we recognize as today's hope. Today's hope is a hope that something gets done. Today's hope means that I hope the mailman runs today. I hope they get my order right at the restaurant. I hope I have a good day today. See, this is the kind of hope that may work out and it may not work out.---# Expectant HopeThat is not the kind of hope that the Bible is talking about. The hope that Paul is speaking of in this particular context is an expectant hope. It's a hope that's built on expectation, and it is a hope that is not seen. Okay. Paul relates this to the birth pains of a woman. It's the same expectant hope that a woman has when she is in the last stages of pregnancy. She feels the pain, the symptoms, the groanings. But it is outweighed by the expected hope of birthing a child. See, a baby shower is the expression of expectant hope. We don't celebrate the baby shower. We don't go out and buy things to support the child and the mother and father because the mother might have the baby. We celebrate because we have an expected hope that it will happen. An expectant hope. What the Bible is talking about is something that will happen in your life. It's an expectation. This is why the Bible says eyes have not seen, ears have not heard. Neither can the mind imagine the things that God has in store for those who love him.---# The Certainty of God's PromiseYou can't even imagine this hope that God has for you. But it is not based on there's a possibility of it happening. No, it's based on the truth that it will happen because God does not lie on His word. In the meantime, what you need to do, the Bible says in verse 25, is eagerly wait for it with perseverance. Patience and perseverance is what you need. Trust in the Lord with all of your heart. Lean not on your own understanding, but in all of your ways. Acknowledge him and he will direct your path. There is grace for every groan because God gives us hope. And this is hope that is not seen, is not seen. And if you wait on it, you wait on it. With perseverance, God will fulfill every promise in your life. Whatever you're praying for, whatever you believe in God for, if you are having faith and you're trusting in him, he will not lie on His Word. Because we don't have the hope of the world.---# Enduring with Expectant HopeWe have an expectant hope of eternal life in Christ and abundant life in Christ. So all you need to do remember to experience grace in every groan is to patiently wait for it. With perseverance. The race is not given to the swift, nor to the strong, but to he that endures. Let us pray.---# Closing PrayerFather, we come before you in the name of Jesus, and by the power of your precious blood. We pray today that you would first give us strength to endure the groanings of life. Give us strength, father, to stand in the midst of how we feel in the midst of what we see. We pray that you would empower us and give us wisdom not to listen to the voice of our circumstances, but to listen to the voice of your Word, Father God, which lead and guides us into all truth. We pray, father, that you would give us a spirit and empower our faith today to walk in this expectant hope, to walk in expectation. Father of not what you might do, but based on what you will do in our lives.Help us, father, to carry our cross every day, and to have the same expectant hope as a pregnant woman has. Understanding, father, that you've birthed greatness on the inside of us. You've birth your presence within us. And father, these things have not quite all the way manifested yet. But we believe, father, that one day they will, because your word declares that they will. So, father, we pray today that you would order our steps, lead and guide us, and we pray that your name gets all of the praise and the glory in our lives. In Jesus name we pray today. Amen.

Not only that, but we also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body. For we were saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance. Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God. And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.💡 Main TakeawaysTheme of "Grace for Every Groan" based on Romans 8:22-28Concept of groaning as a result of sin and suffering in the worldEmotional and spiritual aspects of groaning amidst hardshipsHistorical context of sin's impact on creation, referencing Adam and EveThe hope and grace offered through the life, death, and resurrection of JesusDefinition of grace as God's unmerited favorAssurance of God's grace being sufficient for personal strugglesEncouragement to engage with God daily for strength and nourishmentImportance of resting in God's grace and seeking His willPrayer for peace, strength, and empowerment in facing life's challenges🛡 Spiritual Warfare Resources https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbL9sqcPLOrmzG0c91Igb6w Warfare Prayers Website🙌  Call To Action Subscribe To Warfare Prayer Podcast for daily inspiration, devotion and prayer. Share this episode with someone going through trails and challenges Leave a review for Warfare Prayers Podcast. Support Warfare Prayers Here Warfare Prayers Transcription00:00:00  Welcome to Warfare Prayers, the podcast where you will find guidance and strength for life's toughest battles. Here you'll be inspired and spiritually grounded through my daily devotions, discovering the power of deliverance and peace that comes from God's Word. Today's topic is coming from Romans 8:22 through 28. Our title is that there is grace for every groan. Grace for every groan. I'm going to read Romans 8:22 through 28, and I want you to notice how many times the word groan is in this particular text. Let's read.Verse 22: For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs until now. Not only that, but we also who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body. For we were saved in this hope. But hope that is seen is not hope. For why does one still hope for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.## The Groanings of Creation and Humanity00:01:51  Likewise, the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Now He who searches the heart knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God. And we know that all things work together for the good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.As you can see, the word groan or groanings is mentioned three times. When the serpent deceived Eve and Eve talked her husband Adam into biting the apple, that was a turning point in history, and it had devastating consequences for all mankind. All of creation from that one bite began to groan. The Lord said, "Cursed is the ground because of you. In pain you shall eat of it all the days of your life. Thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you." The effects of this turning point are still being felt today in what the Bible calls in this particular text, groanings.## The Effects of Sin: Our Groanings00:03:28  We feel the effects of sin in our bodies and see it in our lives. These are groanings. We endure frustrations and devastation that comes with our bodies that are susceptible to diseases like cancer, diabetes, strokes, depression, arthritis. We bear pain of loss and heartache that comes from the death of a spouse or a son or daughter or brother or sister. These are groanings. We struggle with stress that comes with life, like worries and how to make ends meet, and thinking about our future and careers and how our children will be well off. And all of these things are groanings from that turning point in history.But another turning point happened in history, and this took place when an innocent man was bruised, beaten, and broken. He was nailed to a lifeless tree, a cross, and He hanged there for three agonizing hours. The turning point continued three days later at an open tomb where this once dead man stood alive again. His name is Jesus Christ. And because He died for our sins and rose that we may have life, there is grace for every groan.## Grace for Every Groan00:05:14  Now there is groaning. But because of this turning point in history, there is grace for every groan. God has a treatment for every pain episode that we go through. God's grace is Him supplying us with what we can't earn and what we don't deserve. It's all based on what Jesus did for us. There's grace for groans, and there's three treatments I want to talk about in the next three episodes. And these are pain treatments that remind you that for every suffering that you go through, every challenge, every obstacle, every negative thought that the enemy plants inside of your mind, know that we have a treatment for it in God's grace.Paul asked God to take it away three times, and the Lord said, "My grace is sufficient for your thorns." And His grace is sufficient for your thorns, because the Word says that His power works best in your weakness. Trials and tribulations and the things that we go through—it does not feel good. But God promises to work all of these things together for the good in your life.## God's Grace is Sufficient for Today00:06:57  And just like a patient that's in the hospital that is hooked to an IV, and that IV represents his pain medication. He's going to press that button whenever he feels that pain. Well, God has a spiritual IV for you and it is His Spirit. His grace flows through His Spirit. And when you encounter God, when you engage God, there's grace for every pain episode in your life.Now remember, there's no grace for tomorrow. There's no grace for next month. There's no grace for next year. God's grace is sufficient for today. So you rest in God's grace today. You be still and know that He is God. You be quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to get angry. Learn God's will for your life today. Because regardless of what you're going through, remember this: your mess is your ministry. The promise oftentimes is revealed through your pain. But in all of this, in all of your groanings, God's grace is more powerful than your groaning. The turning point of what Jesus did is eternal.## Closing Prayer00:08:35  He came that you may have life and that you may have it abundantly. So let's go ahead and pray to have the faith to lean and trust in God's grace. Let us pray.Father, in the precious and powerful name of Jesus, who is the Christ. We elevate your wonderful name because we know that you're all powerful. You are all sufficient. And you have everything that we need. Your word declares that you will supply all of our needs according to your riches and glory. And we pray, Father, that in the midst of groanings and in the midst of pain and challenges that we go through, we pray, Father, that your grace would give us peace that surpasses all understanding. We pray, Father, that your grace would empower us to stand in the midst of everything we face and in the midst of how we feel. We pray, Father, that our life would be an expression of your goodness and your grace. And so we pray, Father, that you wou
