Welcome to Unshakable. I'm Pastor Ben Cooper, and this is where real life and real faith comes together. In a world that shifts, we stand on the rock that never moves. Wherever you are at this moment in time, whether you're up the mountaintop, whether you're in the middle of the storm or in the middle of the valley, this space is for you to grow, to stand strong and to live in unshakable faith. May God bless you. Let's get straight in. So, wherever you are across this world, may the hand of God lead you.
Speaker 1:Right now, we're going to turn to the New Testament. We're going to go to the book of Galatians, the good book of Galatians, galatians, chapter 2, verse 20. Whatever your time zone is across the world, let's get straight in. And the gospel reads as it follows I have been crucified with Christ. I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. Do we realize that Jesus Christ lives within each and every one of us? Do we feel like a failure today? Do we feel that we are filled with sorrows and woes? Do we feel that we have been shaken? Do we feel that we have been shaken to the core? I want to encourage you, wherever you are at this moment in time, to never give up and to never give in, because Christ lives in you. That is a biblical fact. That is true, that Jesus Christ lives in you. The Bible says greater is he that is in me than he that is in the world. But in the book of Galatians that we are in at this moment in time, it says I have been crucified with Christ. Quite a brutal text, quite a brutal text as we read that. But it says I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live. I don't live in the way that I used to live. But we might reflect, we might look at our lives and we might just look at the skin that we live in the way that I used to live. But we might reflect, we might look at our lives and we might just look at the skin that we live in and we say well, actually my life hasn't changed that much. Let me tell you right now the devil is a liar. Christ lives in you. Let me read that scripture one more time Whether you're on the commute, whether you're traveling, whether you're at home, wherever you are walking the dog on the commute, whether you're traveling, whether you're at home, wherever you are walking the dog in the gym, whatever is going on cutting the grass.
Speaker 1:However, you are listening to this through RB Christian Radio, whether you are watching this right now through live stream, whether you are capturing this on the radio, whether you are listening to it through a podcast, we want to encourage you here from this studio that Jesus Christ lives inside of you. The old has gone, the new has come. The King is with you. Galatians, chapter 2 from the NIV, verse 20. I have been crucified with Christ. I no longer live, but Christ liveth in me. The King reigns, the King is within side of you. The glory is around you. The power of the living word is part of you. You know we have an unshakable faith. We have an unshakable God. We have an unshakable King, just like the title of this podcast series Unshakable. We welcome you to this podcast.
Speaker 1:Unshakable Faith, wherever you are. Remind yourself now. The old is gone. The old self has been nailed to the cross. It is gone. It is finished.
Speaker 1:The guilt, the shame, the fear, the, the insecurities, the sin was now to the cross with jesus. That person is gone. You are a new creation in christ jesus. The old is gone, the new has come. The old self has been now to the cross of calvary.
Speaker 1:That person that the world looked at and that person that the world sometimes tries to hold us onto is gone, just like that great prophet from the Old Testament went down to the potter's house and I saw the master working on the clay. Do you realize you're clay in the father's hands? Do you realize that you are clay in the father's hands? Do you realize that you are clay in the master's hands? And christ is shaping you? The holy spirit is filling you. The word of god is leading you. You are unshakable. God is changing you from glory to glory. I have been crucified with christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me.
Speaker 1:Tell the world around you right now, on your commute. Tell the world around you in the gym. Tell the world around you doing the school run. Tell your family, tell your culture. Tell everybody in the space that you live in. Christ liveth within me. Fear has to go go. Are you fearful at this moment in time? Do you realize that you are free? Who the sun sets free is free. Indeed, you are walking in unshakable hope. You have unshakable faith and god is with you. Now. Christ lives inside, inside of you.
Speaker 1:This means a few things really critical. What does this mean to me? This means that when I feel weak, his strength rises in you. This means, when I feel weak, like giving up. His spirit keeps me going. When the enemy whispers in my ears, when the enemy whispers in my life, when the enemy whispers and I hear lies and everything that comes from the devil's area, jesus speaks the truth. You are mine. That's what Jesus says about you. Wherever you are across this world, you belong to Jesus. You are a child of the living God. It is Christ that liveth now within the skin that you walk in.
Speaker 1:Remind yourself of that scripture reading in this podcast series Unshakable Faith.
Speaker 1:I have been crucified with Christ. I no longer live, but Christ liveth in me. Galatians, chapter 2, verse 20, coming from the NIV. Fear has to go, doubt has to go, uncertainty has to go, the struggles of life have to disappear at the name of Jesus. When I am weak, when I am tired, when I am weary, when I am exhausted, when I am broke, when I am worn down, when I am exhausted, when I feel like giving up, his strength rises in you. The word rises in you. The Holy Spirit rises in you. The glory rises in you, the power of the living God rises in you.
Speaker 1:However you capture this on RB Christian Radio, however you capture this through Audible, whether you are on the world of podcasts, whether you are listening and gathering this. This, however, and whatever means, let me tell you the struggles are finished. This verse is a verse of hope. This verse is a verse of strength. This verse is telling us now that we are no longer the struggler, we are no longer the weary, because we are blessed and Christ liveth. You are redeemed by the blood of Jesus.
Speaker 1:On your commute now, on your school run, if you are just flicking through the socials, if you are just flicking through Spotify, apple podcast, amazon, if you are just listening to this voice, let me tell you God is speaking to you. You are alive in Christ. The old has gone. The old, as Galatians 2 20 says. I have been crucified with Christ. This old carnal body, this fear, this doubt, this uncertainty, this, this sin, this perpetuous life of fear and doubt has to go, because it was nailed to the cross of Calvary. And who the Son sets free is free. Indeed, I am a child of the living God. I belong to the King of kings and the Lord of lords, I have been crucified with Christ. My sickness went with Christ, my fear went with Christ. My doubt went with Christ. My sickness went with Christ, my fear went with Christ, my doubt went with Christ, my moments of anxiety went with Christ. My sin, my jealousy, my bitterness, my doubt went to the cross of Calvary.
Speaker 1:So, lord, my prayer today let me realize that Christ liveth in me. Lord, let the scriptures ring true in my heart today. Let me find this freedom that comes deep within this verse unshakable hope. Lord, remind me that you love me. Remind me that your word is leading me. You remind me, god, that the God of Israel, the father of Isaac, jacob and Abraham, you are in full charge of this world. Remind me that when God said let there be light, I was on your heart, I was on your mind. Remind me, when you sent the king to the cross of Calvary, it wasn't for himself, it was for every one of us, lord. I thank you today, lord, I thank you for this unshakable hope. I thank you for this unshakable faith, lord, that the devil is a liar, that shame is gone, insecurities are gone, sin is gone. It is now to the cross of Calvary. Now, christ liveth in you today? Do you realize that Christ lives in you? Do you realize that the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit lives in you? Do you realize that the King of glory lives in every one of you? The struggles of fear are gone. Are you weary? Are you tired? Just remind yourself that the king is with inside of you, the power of the living word.
Speaker 1:Are you fearful? Are you finding anxiety is rising? Are you finding that doubt is almost taking over your life? What are you worried about today? Are you worried about money? Are you worried about food on the table? Are you worried about paying? Are you worried about food on the table? Are you worried about paying the bills? Are you worried about putting gas in the system and electric? Are you worried about the children's education mortgages? Are you worried about debt? Are you in debt this morning? Are you worried about those big hitting diseases cancer, heart disease, motor neuron disease, bone wasting disease? Are you worried about health? Have you got health anxiety? Have you got social anxiety? Have you got general anxiety disorder? Are you worried?
Speaker 1:Whatever you are carrying, whatever you are carrying, it belongs to Jesus. So will you come to the cross with me? Will you try and close your eyes, if you're able, and just focus on the cross of Calvary. You know what crosses look like. Of course we do, pastor Ben. We all know what a cross looks like. Focus on a cross and just pray this prayer.
Speaker 1:Father, in the name of Jesus, I am redeemed by the blood of Jesus. And today, lord, I want to know. I want to know that I am truly free because, as the book says, galatians 2.20, I have been crucified with Christ. I no longer live in my old ways. I no longer live in the skin that I was birthed in. I live now in freedom, but Christ liveth in me. I thank you that Jesus Christ lives in every one of us. I thank you that the power of the Holy Spirit is in every one of us. I thank you that the glory of God is over every one of us. And today, jesus, and today, lord, you have paid the price. Lord, remind me that I don't have to live in my yesterday. Remind me that I don't have to live in all the stuff that went on. Remind me today that today is a new walk, that today is a new beginning, that today is a new day. In the name of Jesus, come, holy Spirit. Remind me that this walk today is a fresh walk. Remind me today that this is unshakable faith and in the name of Jesus, I am blessed and highly favoured. I am fearfully made.
Speaker 1:Lord, I pray for everybody listening to this Lord, listening to this unshakable podcast. I pray that the fire of God will touch their hearts. May the presence of the Holy Spirit lead you. May the God of glory guide you. May the living word burn in your spirit today. May God bless you and just remind yourself Jesus lives within the skin that you walk in. Let that light shine, let the glory shine. You are not alone. You are not forgotten. You are filled with the presence of Jesus Christ. Wherever you are across this world at this moment in time, let the fire of God, let the power of the Holy Spirit, let the love of Jesus just sit within your heart today.
Speaker 1:Remind yourself of that scripture that we was in Galatians, chapter 2, verse 20. I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me.
