Balancing Practicality and Faith with Apostle Rodney Dennis
Manage episode 265046597 series 2661456
In this episode we cover:
- Understanding how one’s environment shapes or influences one’s behavior.
- Finding enlightenment in the understanding of God that goes beyond denominations and religions.
- In our understanding of God, we tend to humanize God, making God who we think He is rather than thinking of God as He is to us.
- We can experience different manifestations as God presents Himself to us.
- We are all the offspring of God, but sin is the reducer. It reduces our capacity to eternal life. Sin limits what our bodies do, what our bodies think, and what our bodies and minds understand. Therefore, our ability to understand God in totality is limited by sin.
- Faith has to be questioned in order for it to be real, but principles are still at play in the world that may be in conflict with what you are believing God will do.
- Faith that cannot be challenged or that can not withstand challenge, can it be true faith or solid faith?
- Knowing (intimate knowledge of) God helps you to understand how God relates to you personally.
- The application of faith is more important than the measure of faith.
- When you apply the faith OF God IN God we realize how God moves and once we realize how God moves through us, with us and for us, then we get a better understanding of who God is to us. This intimate relationship becomes unshakeable.
- The reason why people have challenges with God is because they didn’t go through a challenge WITH GOD.
