To celebrate father’s day, we’re sharing a special, Sunday edition of Walk With The King Podcast: A sermon delivered in 1990 by Dr. Cook on Father’s day at Blackrock Church in Fairfield, Connecticut. Thank you for listening, and Happy Fathers Day.
Often times, we approach God with our prayers--and we expect those prayers to be answered in the ways we want. The importance of giving up control. Broadcast #7005
So much in life involves waiting. Having faith means waiting on the Lord without a guarantee of knowing the exact timing of His plans. Explore the divine peace of trusting God's timing. Broadcast #7004
Everyone makes plans in life. God asks us to do one thing before we make our plans: come to Him first. Broadcast #7003
People love getting what they want. What we long for, or aquire, or work for usually indicates where our heart lies. Here are God's guidelines for getting what we want in life. Broadcast #7002
People all over the world have to deal with the constant stress of pressure. How do we manage? Dr. Cook walks us through God's strategy to deal with pressure. Broadcast #7001
I don't know what God has specially for you today, but I know this: as you open your heart to Him in love and in worship, He'll whisper to you some things He has you specially chosen for you. Broadcast #7000
Wait on the Lord, the Bible says. As you wait before him, the Holy Spirit of God faithfully will whisper to your heart something that you need to believe and to act upon. Broadcast #6999
Talk to your Heavenly Father about those various characteristics that are His and ask Him to plant them in your own life. Broadcast #6998
You have to abide in me. That means "depend on me for life, for nourishment, for substance, for protection" — for the sustaining strength that the Vine gives to the branches. Broadcast #6997
It's your business to do whatever God has assigned to you. But as you consciously depend on the Lord Jesus through the power of the Holy Spirit who indwells the believer — as you consciously depend upon your Lord — what you do becomes eternally significant. Broadcast #6996
Now the Bible tells us to be filled with the Spirit — that is to say, open by faith, all the doors of your heart house to the Holy Spirit — and let Him fill all of your life. Broadcast #6995
Go cheerfully out of your way to help another without being asked — that is the secret of real service. You and I, who are believers, should be the first to initiate that blessed course of action. Broadcast #6994
You don't always have an opportunity to obey the Will of God. You need to obey and to take advantage of it in His time. Broadcast #6993
God's purpose of putting you through the wringer is that He might get the glory and Jesus might be glorified. This is the end result of anything you're experiencing. Broadcast #6992
We ought to know the voice of the Savior. The way you get to know the voice of the Savior, is number one, through the Word, number two, through the indwelling Holy Spirit. Broadcast #6991
Why should it happen?" you cry out. Jesus said, "That the works of God should be made manifest in you." God wants to show His grace, the beauty of His love, the sweetness of His patience and the brightness of His hope. Broadcast #6990
There is a strange and wonderful relationship between the committed heart and the Word of God. Broadcast #6989
God makes you a resource person when you let Him satisfy your thirst. Broadcast #6988
If you want to be guided, make up your mind to obey God and what you know is His Will. Broadcast #6987
The only option open for me when my heart is aching, or when circumstances are in reverse, and everything is breaking wrong for me is just turning to the Lord Jesus. Broadcast #6986
If you're willing to take your perplexity, or your heartache, or your despair, or your uncertainty, or the deep hurt that there may be in your life; if you're willing to take that to Jesus, and trust Him with it, He will do the miracle in your life. Broadcast #6985
Don't limit your life by saying, "Well, this is the way everybody has done it; therefore, I must." God may want to do an entirely new thing through you. Broadcast #6984
Could you adopt, today, as a way of life, a constantly prayerful attitude, that asks God to lead you to people who are ready for Jesus? What a thrill that is: to know that God has guided you. Broadcast #6983
God has plans for you today, beloved. He has a way of leading you into situations which you may not have planned, but which are His glorious plans for you because there's somebody that needs the Lord Jesus Christ. Broadcast #6982
Never tie your faith to a human being, because all of us human beings fail at some point or other. Tie your faith to the Lord Jesus Christ, He never fails. Broadcast #6993
It's one thing to look objectively at the facts of Christianity. It's quite another thing to open your life to the blessed Spirit of God and let Him prove to you that God is real. Broadcast #6979
When God leads you through something that's rough, beloved, look up, and say, "Lord, I'm doing this for Jesus. I'm sharing it with Him and I want you to get glory out of it, that God might be glorified." Broadcast #6978
Turn to Jesus. He's waiting there, just outside the grave — He's alive today and He wants to call your name and reveal Himself to you. Broadcast #6977
It brings great comfort to my heart because I'm often perplexed about the next steps. But all you have to do is obey God one step at a time. Broadcast #6976
