Listen "First Responders – Spiritual Athletes by Melinda Carroll"
Episode Synopsis
Definition of First Responders - someone designated or trained to respond to an emergency.
I Corinthians 9:24-27 (Read). Temperate in all things means: self-controlled, disciplined, moderate, restrained.
You must learn self-discipline and endurance. Bring you bodies under God’s control by the power of the Holy Spirit. Athletes must give up certain things to win the race.
God has given us many resources to become his 1st Responders and Spiritual Athletes. 1) His Holy Word – both OT and NT, Spiritual Gifts, Prayer – both in the natural and spiritual language (the gift of tongues) as a private devotional discipline will strengthen and build you up and Communion (by celebrating the Lord’s supper, by faith we receive Jesus’ life. We partake in faith in His full forgiveness, full acceptance and full power to restore, strengthen and heal).

Romans 10: But what does it say? The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart (that is the word of faith which we preach). That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
I Corinthians 6:19-20 – Or do you know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price, therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.
II Corinthians 4:13: We have the same spirit of faith as he had who wrote, I have believed, and therefore have I spoken. We too believe, and therefore we speak (Amp).
We can be speaking the words, but not having the faith to back it up, and as a result, we fall flat on our spiritual faces. II Corin. 5:7 – for we walk by faith, not by sight.
