Did Everything Change In 2020 (Except God's Promises)?

James Galiano — Thu, 07 May 2026 20:15:56 GMT

🌍 Did everything in our world change in 2020—except God's promises?

I recently reflected on this question in the latest episode of the Faith Tested by Fire podcast. So much has shifted over the last few years, impacting our daily lives, relationships, and sense of security. But one thing remains immutable: the faithfulness of God and the certainty of His promises.

Here are 3 key takeaways:

Nothing surprises God. He saw the end from the beginning and made provision for every need you’ll face—even before you encountered it. Jim emphasizes that, regardless of how the world changes, God’s foresight and care remain constant.

You’re already seated in a place of victory. We often feel we’re on the outside looking in, striving for acceptance or breakthrough. But in Christ, we’re already “seated in heavenly places.” Our prayers and faith come from a place of security, not struggle.

Practical faith is about relationship, not formula. Whether you ask the Father, speak to your mountain, or give thanks in tough moments, what matters is the belief in your heart, not a scripted routine. Grow in confidence that you can approach God honestly, knowing He hears you.

For anyone who feels disconnected or weary, remember, God’s promises stand firm. If you’d like deeper encouragement, check out the new Faith Tested by Fire newsletter or listen to the latest podcast episode.

Life, Death, and the Tongue: The Truth Behind Mark 11:23

James Galiano — Sat, 18 Apr 2026 16:20:19 GMT

I'm excited to announce some big updates from Faith Tested By Fire! Our new website is live at https://www.faithtestedbyfire.com , and my latest book “Believe You Receive It and You Shall Have It” is now available in paperback and Kindle. Plus, our new weekly newsletter “The Tested Word of Faith” is here to help you stay strong between “Amen” and the promised answer.

On the latest episode of the Faith Tested By Fire podcast, I shared insights on the power of our words, inspired by Mark 11:23 and real-world testimonies. No matter what season you’re in, these truths can transform your faith walk and daily life.

3 Key Takeaways:

Your words shape your world: What you persistently and consistently say has creative power. Life and death are in the power of the tongue.

Persistence matters: Sometimes, you must speak words of faith thousands of times before seeing a breakthrough, and that perseverance transforms you.

Faith is built on relationship, not formula: Trust in God’s love and grace, keep your words aligned with His truth, and resist the temptation to “try” faith like a mechanical recipe.

If you’re ready to see positive change in your life, check out the episode and join our newsletter for ongoing encouragement:

Faith and Your Personal Connection with God, Jesus & the Holy Spirit

James Galiano — Mon, 11 Mar 2024 21:53:17 GMT

In today's episode, we will take a closer look at various themes related to faith, trials, and revelations. We'll talk about the importance of seeking personal revelation from God rather than relying solely on external sources like Bible teachers. I'm talking about the need for direct communication with God through the Holy Spirit to receive insights and guidance tailored to individual challenges. We'll also discuss the transformative power of experiencing God's peace, the impact of personal revelations on one's faith journey, and the significance of aligning oneself with God's will.

We'll also talk about the importance of developing a personal relationship with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and the role of the Holy Spirit in providing guidance and insight. If you're troubled by what you see happening in the world around you, you won't want to miss this episode.

Are You Struggling to Walk by Faith and Not By Sight in 2023?

James Galiano — Fri, 16 Jun 2023 02:16:43 GMT

In this episode, I want to talk about the importance of walking by faith and not by sight in 2023. What's different about 2023? It's not so much about the year as it is about what so many believers experience on a personal level. For example, the Bible says all things are possible to those who believe. That verse alone opens the door to endless possibilities. Somewhere along the line, though, many believers begin to think more in terms of "probabilities" than possibilities.

They take their foot off the accelerator, so to speak. They settle for the same issues and limitations everyone else does. Sometimes to change things, we have to shake ourselves up and remember where we've come from.

In today’s podcast, we’ll discuss how our relationship with God is the foundation of our peace and strength. It's is the foundation of faith, hope, and love. Sometimes, to regain your strength and renew your vision, you have to go to your beginnings.

That and much more in today’s episode.

Do You Still Want God to Transform Your Life in a Big Way?

James Galiano — Sat, 01 Apr 2023 21:29:12 GMT

Welcome back to the Faith Tested By Fire Podcast. Today, In today's episode, we're asking a big question, are you happy with where you are in your life?

Or, do you still want God to transform your life in a big way? It's easy to get comfortable with where we are. It's easy to assume that if God had more for us, it would happen through an act of some kind of intervention.

The truth is, it's easy to forget that God has bigger plans for us. His plans always take us from faith to faith (Romans 1:17). But if we truly want to live our best lives and fulfill our purpose, we need to be open to God's transformative work. As long as you're on this earth, there's always more work to be done - and I mean that in a positive way!

So, if necessary, blow the dust off your mind and heart and allow the Holy Spirit to give you a fresh vision of what comes next in your life in today's episode!

Focusing On Jesus Changes Everything

James Galiano — Sun, 26 Feb 2023 04:20:03 GMT

In the parable of the weight and tares, both grow up together before the final harvest. Although we don’t know the day and the hour of Jesus’ return, we’re getting closer every day. The signs we’re seeing all around us have intensified significantly over time. It's no longer an exaggeration by any standard to say we're living through perilous times.

Although times have certainly changed, Jesus is still the same. His power to save, heal, and deliver is available to those who put their trust in Him. In today’s episode, we’ll be talking about the one who will never leave or forsake you and why it’s so important to put all of your focus on Him.

Some of Life’s Tougher Questions

James Galiano — Tue, 20 Dec 2022 20:31:20 GMT

First, let me take a minute to wish all of you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. It’s good to be back! Our former podcasting service has closed up shop and we’re now live on a new and improved hosting service. In today’s episode, I want to take a look at a few tough questions.

For example, if God is good, why does He allow so many terrible things to happen? Maybe you’ve asked this question yourself. Thankfully, the Bible does give us some sharp insights into why evil oppresses so many living in the world today.

I’ll be sharing some of those insights with you in today’s episode.

The Signs of this Time

James Galiano — Wed, 16 Mar 2022 14:30:00 GMT

I’ve been reading about the signs of the times since the 1980s. And of course, generations of writers have written about the topic long before that. I imagine predictions of the end go back to the Apostle Paul’s time. Over the years, many have placed their short-term hopes in the rapture to put an end to the trials, tests, and tribulations they were facing in their lives. I can’t imagine the disappointment that was felt when the event didn’t come to pass. We don’t know and we won’t know the day or the time. We do know the season, however, and we can identify a few of the signs that we have yet to see. Personally, I don’t believe there are any end-time experts. I do believe, however, that we can identify a few things that Jesus shared with certainty – and I’ll be sharing those things with you in today’s episode!

Overcoming Hopelessness

James Galiano — Sat, 25 Sep 2021 15:45:00 GMT

Hope is a scarce commodity in the time we’re living in. According to statistics, the numbers of people afflicted by depression have reached all-time highs. Especially among younger people. The world in general is grappling with hopelessness on a mass scale. Everything from disease and global warming to financial ruin – those are the messages that dominate our time. And yet, there remains an eternal message of hope for those who have ears to hear it. For those who believe, there is a message of hope that assures us we are not alone. Not only are we not alone, but there has been given to us … exceeding great and precious promises: that by these you might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. (2 Peter 1:4) If you feel powerless by what’s happening in your life and in the world around you, today’s message can reignite a restoration process in your life.

An Honest Look at the Prayer Struggle

James Galiano — Sat, 03 Jul 2021 15:45:00 GMT

Many times, our faith is seriously challenged by what the Bible calls, “Unbelief.” If it weren’t so, Paul (writing under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit) wouldn’t have said – “Fight the good fight of faith.” Faith is a fight. Especially when we’ve been faced with problems and difficulties that just don’t seem to go away. We’ve all been there. You live in a state of unrest relative to certain problems you’re facing. Not every challenge keeps people up at night. But even minor problems that have been around for a prolonged time – even those problems have a way of robbing us of the kind of true peace and rest the Bible promises. If you’re interested in taking a deeper look into this subject, I think you’ll get a lot from today’s podcast episode!

The Times Have Changed

James Galiano — Thu, 27 May 2021 21:45:00 GMT

During the past year and a half, we’ve experienced what it was like to live in a world where life as we knew it ground to a halt. Even though life here in Florida was more “open” than it was in many other parts of the country, it was still far from normal. Today, as we see the world slowly reopening again, I don’t see things going back to the way they were – Post-Covid or post-2020. Why? I really think God is doing a unique work in His people in this unique time. It appears that an awakening of sorts is occurring with God’s people around the world. And it makes sense when you remember that, He’s the vine and we’re the branches (John 15:5). He’s the head and we’re the body (Colossians 1:18). The connection makes all the difference. In today’s podcast, I want to share some thoughts on having a real, daily connection or relationship with God the Father and Jesus Christ – through the Holy Spirit. We can only do so much in our own strength. We can only get so far with the knowledge we acquire. Above and beyond that is a whole world of possibilities that are available to us… if we’re willing to move to a deeper level of trust in the love, willingness, and ability of God. That and more in today’s podcast.

Is “Unbelief” Affecting Your Life?

James Galiano — Fri, 30 Oct 2020 06:45:00 GMT

In today’s podcast, I’d like to talk about something that keeps us from experiencing some of the bigger breakthroughs many of us have longed for in our daily lives. I’m talking about unbelief. Hear me out, I believe this will really have a positive impact on your life.

The original disciples of Jesus experienced “unbelief” just as we do. And keep in mind, they lived, ate, and traveled with Jesus for YEARS. They saw the miracles firsthand and they still had to deal with the effects of unbelief from time to time.

You see, we can have faith and unbelief – simultaneously. The father with the oppressed son had both in Mark 9:24. Peter had faith when he started walking on the water, but unbelief started undoing the miraculous moments later.

In both examples, both men cried out to Jesus and both were saved. In today’s episode, I want to talk about lessening the effects of unbelief on our faith and what can happen as a result.

Letting the Truth Set You Free

James Galiano — Wed, 14 Oct 2020 19:00:00 GMT

There was a time in my life when I felt like the woman from Canaan. Matthew 15:22-23 KJV (22) And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil. (23) But he answered her not a word. In one sense, I knew the Lord was there… but it seemed that He chose to remain silent. One night, I actually yelled at Him and let my feelings be know! Afterward, I felt bad, but the point is – I was being honest with myself and Him. We all deal with things deep down on the inside that we’d rather not be dealing with. And over the years, I learned to open up and look to Jesus from a place of complete honesty and humbleness. From that place I’ve shared my worries, fears and things I was utterly unsure of as they related to my life and my future. What I discover was – that was the place where true finally started to manifest real solutions in my everyday life. If that’s something you’d like to hear more about, you’ll be blessed by today’s podcast.

Gods Mercy Can See You Through to Better Days Ahead

James Galiano — Mon, 28 Sep 2020 15:15:00 GMT

The Bible has recorded many stories of people who experienced severe trials and tribulations before finally getting their breakthrough. The story is really no different today. If you’re the cause of your problems, God can still help and rescue you from them. If there are delays that are your fault, God will not abandon you. Remember, salvation in all its applications (both in this life and the one that is to come) is a free gift. God’s favor is unearned as we were chosen by Him before the foundations of the world (Ephesians 1:4). All that being the case, if we’re still trying and still failing in an area of our lives, what should we do (besides not giving up)? That and more in today’s podcast.

You’re Not Imagining it – Faith is a FIGHT

James Galiano — Wed, 08 Jul 2020 19:30:00 GMT

According to Hebrews 4:1, we can fall short of God’s promises for our lives in the here and now. Falling short of God’s promises is basically falling short of God’s best. Recently, I looked back at the past several months and realized that I, too, was falling short of God’s best. Yes, there are tests and trials. That’s a given. But according to the Bible, we’ve been promised (among other things) peace in the midst of the storms. For me, that peace seemed to be in limited supply. So – I called out to God for help. In today’s podcast, I’m going to talk about what happened next.

What Would Complete Victory Look Like in Your Life?

James Galiano — Fri, 12 Jun 2020 04:00:00 GMT

Life seems to have more than its share of frustrating moments. That’s especially so when you’ve prayed and asked for help, but the help you’re seeking seems to have been indefinitely delayed. Some of life’s challenges seem to persist over time and become points of frustration. In fact, it’s easy to certain things as being “normal” over time. Especially if you consider the lives of those around us. That said, Jesus painted a much different picture of how life could be in the lessons he taught His disciples. He showed what complete victory could look like. He didn’t stop there, either. He also showed the disciples what to do when problems seem to persist. Today, I want to talk about unbelief and how it affects our prayers and lives. More importantly, I want to talk about what the Bible says about overcoming our doubts and fears – and living in God’s best on this side of eternity. That and more in today’s podcast.

When it Feels Like Nothing is Working

James Galiano — Thu, 09 Jan 2020 21:00:00 GMT

I have an encouraging word that I’d like to share with you in today’s podcast. Most of the time we can’t see how God is working in our lives. From the outside, it may appear that we’re stuck. To us, the possibility of things going downhill from there appears to be quite real. Naturally, the negative emotions tied to those thoughts can be very powerful. The truth of God’s Word, however, paints a much different picture or vision of who we are and what’s available to those who believe. Those who believe, the Bible says, are in Christ. This can be the foundational truth that changes everything. Today, I want to help you put your challenges in the right perspective… and to help make 2020 the year things begin to change for the better!

Investing in the Spiritual Basics in 2020

James Galiano — Fri, 03 Jan 2020 19:15:00 GMT

Happy New Year to you! I hope you enjoyed the holiday season of 2019 with your friends and loved ones. During the past month and a half, I took the time to examine some of the central truths from the Bible in a fresh and practical way. There’s always room to grow in life. There’s always room for improvement. That’s especially so when it comes to spiritual things. During the last few episodes of this podcast, I was talking about the topic of “How Faith Worked.” It’s a hard topic to talk about at times for a few reasons. First, you can get into the mechanics of a subject to the point where it feels like all the pressure is on you to “do it right” or it won’t work. Almost like you have to earn God’s help by doing more of this and less of that. In today’s episode, I want to talk about two central truths that I personally began focusing upon in the New Year. Today, I want to talk about guarding your heart and guarding your mouth. These two things can totally transform the upcoming year for you. I believe you’ll be extra-blessed by today’s podcast.

I think you’ll really enjoy today’s latest podcast episode, entitled; How Faith Works – Part 3. When it comes to trust, we can analyze, philosophize and even hypothesize about what the Bible says. Many do just that. We can buy and read books, listen to sermons, etc. None of those things, however, can replace the simple act of doing what the Bible says, and practicing it in our own life experience.

In today’s podcast, I want to continue talking about how faith, belief, and praying works in everyday life. More specifically, I’d like to talk about the challenges we face when it appears that our prayers have gone unanswered. There are many scriptures in the Bible that point to the fact that we (believers) have an enemy in this world. There are invisible, evil forces that seek to thwart God’s best from happening in the lives of His people. We may also have to wrestle with personal doubts or uncertainties as they relate to specific challenges.

How We See the World and Our Place in It

James Galiano — Mon, 05 Aug 2019 04:00:00 GMT

We each see the world, at least in part, through the lens of our personal experiences. Along the way, it becomes easy at times to accept things God doesn’t want us to accept. There’s a disconnect between what we see and what we believe. In today’s podcast, I’m going to talk about seeing the world through the lens of God’s Word instead of the lens of tradition or our own limited experiences. God has something better for each of us, but it’s up to each of us to believe it for our individual lives.

Faith without Feelings

James Galiano — Sat, 20 Jul 2019 04:00:00 GMT

What we see and experience outwardly affects how we feel inwardly. Even so, God has given you the measure of faith (Romans 12:3). Jesus is the author and finisher of that faith (Hebrews 12:2)… and that faith will work like it did for the people of Hebrews 11, even if you feel defeated. It will work when your faith stops relying upon the wisdom of man and starts relying solely on the power of God (1 Corinthians. 2:5). The Bible says Abraham “considered not” his own body. Maybe you’re considered some things that you shouldn’t be considered? If you can relate to that, I think you’ll be blessed by today’s podcast.

There’s Only One Fight to Focus On

James Galiano — Thu, 27 Jun 2019 11:57:57 GMT

We all wrestle with doubts and fears. Faith, however, begins where the will of God is known. Abraham, Isaac and Jacob believed because “God said…” Before the New Testament was in written form, it was played out in real time through the words and actions of Jesus Christ. The Bible said, “His fame spread.” In other words, people heard about His preaching and his miracles and faith came. Some, however, doubted. People hear, “Jesus saves,” but not everyone believes it. In today’s podcast, we’ll be talking about the Will of God will for you (being always for good) and how to overcome nagging doubts and fears that try to come between you and God’s best for your life.

Is God in Control of Everything or Not?

James Galiano — Fri, 14 Jun 2019 14:02:56 GMT

Theology or theory sometimes does as much to break people apart as it does to bring them together. Over the centuries, much has been writing about good, evil, what God allows, and what the word “allows” even means. For example, is God allowing you to suffer? Or, are your own doubts and fears allowing or causing the situation to remain unchanged? These are all great questions that we might ask ourselves as we go through different challenges in life. In today’s podcast, I want to take a look at this topic and share some thoughts with you. Simply put, I believe it’s important to get the place where God is no longer seen as a “withholder” in any area of our lives. That and more in today’s podcast.

Faith or Fear, Blessing or Cursing?

James Galiano — Thu, 06 Jun 2019 09:29:26 GMT

According to the Bible, the words that come from our mouths have influence in two worlds – the visible one and the invisible one. What we say not only influences the outer world and the people around us, those same words also affect us internally. They influence what happens next – for better or worse. Even “self-talk,” where we visualize and internalize these things, can affect us deeply in ways we might not realize. You might think, “Yes, I heard that before and heard sermons on the subject.” Even so, I encourage you to give this subject some of your time today. Consider it a time investment. In today’s podcast, I’ve picked certain scriptures to focus on for a reason. As you listen, think about how this principle can be applied to your life – starting today. Think about the things you should no longer “talk about.” And beyond that, consider embracing a new, “positive testimony.” I’m talking about something that you can talk about (even to yourself) that focuses on the blessings and good things God has done and is doing in your life.

God’s Blessings are within Your Reach

James Galiano — Thu, 30 May 2019 18:15:00 GMT

If you feel like the blessings of God are far removed from your daily experience, you’re not alone. Many of us struggle in life with fears, doubts, uncertainty and all manners of temptations. This, however, is nothing new. What is new for those of us believing in Jesus Christ is the fact that we’re under a new covenant that’s established upon better promises. This leaves us with a choice. We can either focus on Jesus and the love and blessings of God – or we can focus on our own human weakness and inadequacies. Whichever we choose will play a big part in what happens next. If that sounds interesting to you, you’ll enjoy today’s podcast.

Pushing through life’s daily challenges

James Galiano — Wed, 27 Mar 2019 18:12:00 GMT

Don’t let the tests and trials of life discourage you. Yes, you may be wondering why things take so long at times? I think back to the tests I took throughout my lifetime. I’m talking about the academic and business certification variety. Some were short and to the point. Others seemed to go on and on. The test was the thing that stood between what I had and what I wanted. It was the thing that stood between where I was and where I wanted to be. Truth be told, I dislike waiting for things to happen or play out as much as the next person. But – Jesus told us we’d be tested. Acts 14:22 says, “through much tribulation, we enter the Kingdom of God.” Jesus himself when through many tests and trials. In today’s podcast, I’d like to talk about our part and God’s part in the journey of life. Yes, we have take action. We can’t just sit around and wonder – calling that faith. But, we can’t depend on our own ingenuity or ability to figure things out, either. We have to trust and depend on God. Today, we’ll look at how both of these things fit together like opposite sides of the same coin.

Are All Things Possible in 2019?

James Galiano — Mon, 24 Dec 2018 20:15:00 GMT

As we prepare to enter a new year in our lives, it’s a great time to reflect on a question – are all things really possible to you as Jesus said they were? In other words, did Jesus really mean what He said? Or, have we unwittingly exchanged possibilities for probabilities? Yes, life can be exhausting and even overwhelming to us at times. That doesn't mean, however, that we should settle in and become comfortable with the struggle. In today’s podcast, I’d like to talk about what Jesus taught about experiencing the power of God in our lives. I believe the modern, Christian culture has influenced us to have more faith in the law of averages than it has the law of faith. That and more in today’s podcast.

Is Your Heart Still in it?

James Galiano — Tue, 20 Nov 2018 23:45:00 GMT

Sometimes we fight, sometimes we’re just going through the motions. This can apply to anything in life. Our jobs, our relationships, even our prayers. God can totally transform your life, but you have to be honest with Him about absolutely everything. If you’re looking for help and you feel like you’ll always be repeating the same old defeatist patterns of the past, today’s podcast is for you. Happy Thanksgiving!

Praying Effectively for Friends and Loved Ones (Part 2)

James Galiano — Mon, 08 Oct 2018 17:00:00 GMT

Over the years I’ve always found it challenging when the friends or loved ones you’re praying for never seem to benefit in a real, tangible way from your prayers. It almost feels at times that your efforts will never produce any positive effect in the other person’s life (or very minimal at best). In today’s podcast, I want to finish talking about what the bible says about ongoing prayer and get completely away from thoughts, ideas or other teachings on this topic that aren’t explicitly spelled out in the Bible. This is Part 2 of a two-part series.

Signs that Are Yet to Come!

James Galiano — Sat, 02 Jun 2018 20:00:00 GMT

This Changes Everything (Concluding Thoughts)

James Galiano — Tue, 03 Apr 2018 19:44:00 GMT

We often judge ourselves in the light of our own actions, choices and life decisions. Or, sometimes by the lack thereof in those areas. We don’t like what we see. We don’t like how that makes us feel. Those feelings can begin to dictate our future actions and choices. Then we see Jesus. Jesus – who was crucified for us. Jesus, who took our unrighteousness and sin and washed it away. Jesus, who satisfied the claims of justice against the highest court there is. Jesus, whose payment was massive enough to cover the sins of the entire world. Whatever we look at, whatever we focus on, that’s the reality that will play out in our day to day lives.

Focus on This. This Changes Everything

James Galiano — Wed, 28 Mar 2018 17:45:00 GMT

Oftentimes in the Christian community, we jump from topic to topic, sermon to sermon, maybe book to book – getting momentary bursts of hope and insights. Most find that nothing really seems to stick or cause what you might call a “long-term transformation” in their lives. Today that changes. Are you ready?

Letting the Holy Spirit Get Things Done

James Galiano — Fri, 23 Feb 2018 17:35:00 GMT

It can be difficult leaving things in God’s hands for multiple reasons. First, maybe you’re not convinced what the Will of God is? Even if you don’t know specifics – just look at Jesus. Jesus always wins. He’s never intimidated, confused or taken by surprise. He never changes. What more do you really need to know? Maybe you feel like you’re paying for your sins and there’s no way out? Again, look at Jesus. He’s faithful to forgive us and bring us through the worst of situations, even if we brought those situations on ourselves through poor choices. Maybe you feel your lack of insight, understanding or knowledge is keeping you stuck? Well, I have good news for you. Today, we’re going to look at the Holy Spirit and how He will help you. Consider this, Jesus said it was to our advantage that He leave so the Holy Spirit would come (John 16:7). It’s difficult to believe that it would be to our advantage that Jesus not be here physically isn’t it? Yet, He said it was to OUR advantage, so it must be so. That and more in today’s podcast.

Get Renewed from the Inside-Out

James Galiano — Fri, 16 Feb 2018 13:45:00 GMT

Do you feel worn down, a bit worn out and in need of some uplifting? Every day we have the choice to feed our spirit with good, uplifting “food” just like we do with our physical bodies. The things we talk about effect our inner-man. The things we think about effect our inner-man. The things we hear do the same. You can see why God gave his people Mana or food from heaven – one day at a time. The food they received on Monday wasn’t enough to tide them over several days. It was just good on Monday. Once Tuesday came, they needed a fresh supply for that day. In today’s podcast, I want to encourage you to make a practical plan to ensure you get what you need from God to thrive and prosper, each and every day (no matter what’s happening in the outward world around you.

Truths that will Set You Free #2

James Galiano — Tue, 30 Jan 2018 18:37:00 GMT

In the words of Jesus, “The truth shall set you free.” The wonderful thing about the truth is, it pertains to every area of life. There’s no such thing as the truth setting you free in one area of life but not applying to another. When you think about all the different elements and aspects of life, we can face challenges on just about every front you can think. Jesus said, “I am the Truth.” Why then does the truth often seem so close, yet just out of reach? I’m talking purely from a practical standpoint? The truth isn’t just information things. When you think about all Jesus did – He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil. This same Jesus, who God raised from the dead and who never changes is with you right now. For this to move beyond “doctrine” into the practical nooks and crevices of life, you have the want a real relationship with Father, Son and Holy Spirit. That can only happen when you’re willing to open your heart and let all the things that should be there - out. That and more in today’s podcast.

Choose to Believe from the Heart in 2018

James Galiano — Thu, 04 Jan 2018 16:15:00 GMT

In the Bible, people who received from God didn't struggle to believe like we see today.
Jesus taught people to keep things simple and to believe from the heart with child-like faith.
Today, we intellectualize things so much - we make spiritual things overly complex.

That's how we've been taught.

In today's podcast, I'm going to talk about getting to the place where we know in our heart we have the answer.

The place where we're no longer looking or waiting for outward manifestations to validate or confirm that we "really do" have the victory.

Get Ready for 2018

James Galiano — Sat, 02 Dec 2017 20:45:00 GMT

The Early Church had it right. The had faith in the Grace, Mercy and Peace of God. They had a foundation that has become somewhat lost to most of us in the modern era. That is about to change, I believe. The message of Grace is the foundation upon which the much yearned for life stability can be build. It is the rock - like Jesus Christ Himself, that causes us to overcome when faced with the troubles and tribulations of life.

Lessons from the 1st Century Believers - 2

Lessons From the 1st Century Believers

Finding the Power You Have Been Looking For

James Galiano — Tue, 10 Oct 2017 16:16:00 GMT

There is an honest, pure heart connection we can make with God, through prayer, in the midst of any test of trial. In this place, fear gives way to faith, and we make the transition the Bible describes as going from faith to faith (Romans 1:17) and from glory to glory (2 Corinthians 3:18). In this podcast, I will give you real-world examples of why certain things may take longer to receive than others through prayer. I believe true, heart-felt prayer will set you free. Whether it happens in a single prayer or through severalâ ¦ it is the driving principle that separates those who experience Gods promises from those who only see them from afar off.

Do Bible Promises Cover Our Problems?

James Galiano — Wed, 27 Sep 2017 20:23:00 GMT

Do Bible promises really cover your individual case today, or where they just meant for those who lived back in Jesus time? A lot of people debate theology, but I believe we should examine what the Bible itself says about it. What did God Himself intend with the Words that were written? Up until the Book of Acts, the believers did not even realize salvation was available to Gentiles, even though they walked with Jesus in the flesh. Today, we will take a closer look into Bible promises that have been left to those who believe.

Overcoming Persistent Problems

James Galiano — Tue, 15 Aug 2017 16:20:00 GMT

Persistent problems (by definition) seem to be immune to the solutions we’ve turned to. How many times have you wondered why – “For some reason, this problem is still present in my life?” We all have. The secondary problem occurs when we answer the “why” with false or untrue conclusion. For example, “The problem exists because of God.” By creating a false reality or belief system, we basically co-sign ourselves to an ongoing imprisonment to that problem. There’s a better way that I’ll be talking about in today’s podcast.

You can plant the seeds today for a better tomorrow. 1 Corinthians 3:6-7 AKJV (6) I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. (7) So then neither is he that plants any thing, neither he that waters; but God that gives the increase. Follow the Bible principles and don’t be fearful. Prayer is a form of seed planting. We plant seeds in our own lives and in the lives of others. Persistent praying along with thanksgiving waters the seeds (Philippians 4:6). In all cases, both instant and those requiring patience, God gives the increase. Don’t worry about imperfections or inadequacies. The seeds, water and increase all originate with God.

It’s tough, frustrating and I’ve ended up feeling like I went in one big circle when all is said and done. I’ve also experienced the opposite.
