Do you know how much the Father loves you?

Do you know how much your Father God loves you? Really, really, really loves you? Usually we don’t know that, because we project onto God the way human fathers have been, the way authority figures have been, the human failings that we’ve witnessed. Do you think God is disapproving of your sins? Do you think he is accusing you? The truth might surprise you. To understand God the Father better, listen to this episode.

How I met the Holy Spirit
Jun 3, 2022

Here is my personal story about how I met the Holy Spirit. As a child I knew Jesus Christ as my Savior and my Best Friend, but I knew nothing about the Holy Spirit. I found out the hard way that there is a very important reason why Jesus sent us the Holy Spirit, why he ascended to Heaven so that the Holy Spirit could come. The Holy Spirit protects us from being tricked by demons — and because I had no personal relationship with the Holy Spirit, demons led me into the occult while I searched for the supernatural power of God. This put me into quite a mess. Listen to this episode to find out how I escaped.

Stressed Out? Make a Treasure Box of Blessings
Mar 21, 2022
Mar 21, 2022
17 min
Do you feel this way? The writer of Psalm 77 laments, "I pray to God and yet I still feel troubled. I keep watching: My eyes are watchful for the Lord to do something, to bring an end to this misery, to answer my prayers, to intervene. And I am troubled and cannot speak."
The next verse is key. This is the cure. This is the antidote for all this misery that the Psalmist just described: "I consider the days of old; the years long past I remember." We need to remember the past times when the Lord has come to our rescue. That's what the Treasure Box of Blessings is all about. I'll explain how to make one and show you what's in my box.
A video of this and the transcript are available at https://gnm-media.org/make-a-treasure-box-of-blessings/

Who’s causing you to suffer because they have turned away from Christ and perhaps even from you and your family? Their rejection hurts and you feel the pain of knowing that their eternal soul is in danger. In Matthew 18:12-14, Jesus says that your Father in heaven is not willing that any of your lost loved ones should perish. Your prayers will be answered! In this episode, Terry Modica provides hope and reassurance that your prayers for them do make a difference. Pray with her as she shares some very powerful prayers that conquer the demons who have pulled your loved ones away from Christ.

Feel God the Father’s Love This Lent
Mar 11, 2022
Mar 11, 2022
27 min
Lent is meant for growing in holiness by repenting of our sins, but many of us are reluctant to face our sins because we simply don't know that God the Father is cheering us on, like a Doting Daddy who sees the best in us. This Lent, take a journey that leads to a wonderfully close relationship with God the Father. Learn to see him as he really is. Know the joy that he feels for you.
This episode is an edited recording of a live presentation to the Hearts on Fire prayer group, Springfield, Virginia, on March 1, 2020.

What is Heaven really like?

When my husband Ralph and I went to the funeral of a neighbor who was a Jehovah’s Witness, the description of Heaven that we heard from the leader of the congregation was not one that we want to believe in. Ralph joins me in this episode to explain why and to give a much better description of the afterlife based on the teachings of the Catholic Faith and the Bible.

Need an antidote to stress, worry, and fear? Using Psalm 146 as a prayer and adapting it to your own situation, Terry Modica reveals the supernatural power that’s available when we pray for the glory of God to fill us.

Learn how to prevent things from going wrong, or when they do go wrong, how to handle it by hiding from evil in the shelter of the Father's arms.
