“When we are pursuing anything besides God, we are never fulfilled. But when we are pursuing Him, He fills us and we are satisfied in Him.” Today we finish out chapter 10 of 1 Corinthians with our Director of Finance, Marianne Holm. She reminds us of the incredible freedom we have in Christ and also the joy of obedience. God created us to love and serve Him and others. Many times, that means laying down our own wants to be a light and encouragement to others. And yet, in that, we find true joy and satisfaction. Lord, help us lay down our own desires and pride so we may better love You and others.

SCRIPTURES

“Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. Matthew 5:17 ESV

For “the earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof.” 1 Corinthians 10:26 ESV

Jesus said to her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” John 4:13-14 ESV

Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life, John 6:68 ESV

And so by your knowledge this weak person is destroyed, the brother for whom Christ died. Thus, sinning against your brothers and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Christ. 1 Corinthians 8:11-12 ESV

But if all prophesy, and an unbeliever or outsider enters, he is convicted by all, he is called to account by all, the secrets of his heart are disclosed, and so, falling on his face, he will worship God and declare that God is really among you. 1 Corinthians 14:24-25 ESV

In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven. Matthew 5:16 ESV

“There is a battle for our affections.” In 1 Corinthians 10, we are reminded how easily the Israelites fell into idolatry and temptation despite the miracles they saw God perform and how He provided for them each step of the way. And yet, we too are sheep who are easily led astray by our flesh and the desires of this world. As we stay aware and remember what God has done, we can be thankful people and see and experience God’s best. Hear more from our Director of Finance, Marianne Holm, in the podcast.

SCRIPTURES

And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead them along the way, and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, that they might travel by day and by night. The pillar of cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night did not depart from before the people. Exodus 13:21-22 ESV

Then the angel of God who was going before the host of Israel moved and went behind them, and the pillar of cloud moved from before them and stood behind them, 20 coming between the host of Egypt and the host of Israel. Exodus 14:19-20a ESV

“Who is like you, O Lord, among the gods?

Who is like you, majestic in holiness,

awesome in glorious deeds, doing wonders? Exodus 15:11 ESV

The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer,

my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge,

my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. Psalm 18:2 ESV

For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things. Romans 1:21-23 ESV

For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds. 5 We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ, 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 ESV

You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him. But if Christ is in you, although the body is dead because of sin, the Spirit is life because of righteousness. If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you. Romans 8:9-11 ESV

“For our kids, it’s not the physical prize that is important. It is about the eternal prize of salvation, spending eternity with their Heavenly Father. That is the prize of a champion!” North Dakota State Coordinator, Jean Hendrickson, joins us on the podcast today to talk through 1 Corinthians 9. She reminds us of the importance of keeping an eternal perspective. We have an amazing example from Paul to fix our eyes on God and the truth of His Word so that we can reach many lives for His Kingdom. Just like Paul, we don’t want anything to hinder us from sharing the good news!

ABOUT OUR GUEST

I am Jean Hendrickson, State Coordinator for North Dakota. Moms in Prayer has been an important part of my life and my family's life for approximately 25 years. I first heard about Moms in Prayer from my pastor's wife when she asked me if I would like to pray for my children, my response was a resounding yes! We started a Moms in Prayer group and then heard Fern Nichols at an event in ND. I was all in! I prayed for 18 years before knowing there were big things happening in this organization, that it was spreading around the world! I served as an Area Coordinator for one year before being prayed into the State Coordinator position. I have met so many beautiful ladies through Moms in Prayer and have learned so much from them.

I have been married to my kindergarten crush for 42 years. We have been farming on his and my parents' family farms for 46 years. We credit God for getting us to where we are today. My husband is the best cheerleader for Moms in Prayer! We co-led a youth group for 19 years. This helped us understand what challenges our youth are facing and were able to place them on the Moms in Prayer "mat". We participated in prison ministry for many years and were able to see the answers to the prayers of moms and grandmothers for their loved ones who were now inmates, as they were giving their life to Christ in prison. Meet them where they are at Lord!

We have three grown and married children, Blase, Danielle and Cole. We rejoice that they and their spouses follow Jesus. They have blessed us with six grandchildren (3 boys and 3 girls). Blase farms with us and if his three-year-old can decide his future, at least one grandson will hope to farm. Danielle is a realtor and Cole is a CFO of an electric cooperative. All live within two hours of us...YAY!

SCRIPTURES

Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” John 20:29 NIV

For the Scripture says, “You shall not muzzle an ox when it treads out the grain,” and, “The laborer deserves his wages.” 1 Timothy 5:18 ESV

Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. 38 Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.” Matthew 9:37-38 NIV

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 2 Timothy 4:7 NIV

I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:14 NIV

so is my word that goes out from my mouth:

It will not return to me empty,

but will accomplish what I desire

and achieve the purpose for which I sent it. Isaiah 55:11 NIV
