Ep. 110: Act As Though Nothing Can Hinder the Lord

In Podcast Episode 110, “Act As Though Nothing Can Hinder the Lord,” Kim discusses the spiritual eyesight of Jonathan and the victory the Lord provided. Saul and his troops were not looking for the Lord to move, so they were as confused as the Philistines. However, Jonathan had acted through eyes of faith and clearly saw the victory the Lord had provided. 

 

The primary scripture text for this episode is 1 Samuel 14:1-23 with the key verse 6:

 

 6 “Let’s go across to the outpost of those pagans,” Jonathan said to his armor bearer. “Perhaps the Lord will help us, for nothing can hinder the Lord. He can win a battle whether he has many warriors or only a few!”

 

Weekly Assignment Feature: 

 

Do you truly believe nothing can hinder the Lord? If so, request His divine direction and act upon the insight by taking at least one step of faith.
