What does it really take to please God? This pivotal question forms the heart of our exploration into the conditions that make our lives pleasing to our Creator. Building on previous teachings, we delve deeper into the essential ingredients of a life that brings joy to God's heart.

Faith emerges as the cornerstone of pleasing God. As Hebrews 11:6 powerfully states, "Without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him." This faith isn't merely intellectual assent but a dynamic trust that shapes our daily decisions and responses to life's challenges. When we exercise faith, whether for salvation, provision, or guidance, we demonstrate our confidence in God's character and promises.

Beyond faith, we explore the transformative power of being large-hearted. Scripture reveals that God is "well pleased" with those who do good and share with others. This generosity of spirit reflects God's own nature and creates a beautiful cycle—as we receive God's blessings, we become channels through which others are blessed. The practical outworking of this principle touches every relationship and interaction in our lives.

The rewards of pleasing God prove both profound and practical. When our ways please the Lord, we experience answered prayers, peaceful relationships (even with former enemies), and supernatural power to overcome temptation. Yet perhaps most significantly, we gain the immeasurable treasure of God's smile upon our lives—His divine approval and pleasure. Just as Jesus declared, "I always do those things that please Him," we too can live in ways that bring joy to our heavenly Father's heart.

Join us as we unpack these truths and discover how to align our lives with God's desires. Subscribe to New Day of Hope for more insights that will strengthen your faith and transform your walk with God.

What does it truly mean to live a life that pleases God? In a world where most people are fixated on pleasing themselves, this timely episode explores the profound difference between self-satisfaction and divine approval.

Helena and Glynis Langley guide listeners through a compelling biblical study on making God's pleasure our highest ambition. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 5:9 and the powerful example of Jesus who declared, "I always do those things that please Him," they unveil five essential conditions for a life that honors God.

The journey begins with spiritual rebirth, as Romans 8:8 plainly states that "those who are in the flesh cannot please God." This foundation leads naturally to the second condition – separation from sinful influences that entangle believers in their spiritual warfare. The hosts then explore the transformative power of complete dedication, referencing Romans 12:1's call to present our bodies as living sacrifices.

Particularly moving is their examination of Enoch, who "walked with God" and "had this testimony, that he pleased God" so completely that he never experienced death. This ancient example provides a powerful template for modern believers seeking similar divine approval.

The final sections on witnessing and obedience drive home the practical implications of prioritizing God's pleasure. As 1 Samuel 15:22 declares, "to obey is better than sacrifice" – a truth that challenges every listener to examine their own spiritual priorities.

Whether you're struggling with worldly entanglements or seeking to deepen your walk with God, this episode offers clear biblical guidance on trading self-satisfaction for the deeper fulfillment of pleasing your Creator.

What do you do when your prayers seem to hit the ceiling and the miracles you're desperately seeking don't materialize? Pastor Glenis Langlais tackles this profound question through the eyes of Habakkuk, a prophet who trusted God yet found himself troubled by divine silence.

Drawing from Habakkuk's raw, honest dialogue with God, Pastor Glenis reveals how our response to apparent divine silence determines our spiritual trajectory. "Trouble will make you bitter or it will make you better. It will drive you from God or it will drive you to God," she explains, showing how Habakkuk chose to climb higher rather than fall into despair. This powerful metaphor of ascending to a watchtower gives us a blueprint for handling those perplexing seasons when heaven seems silent.

The message weaves through Habakkuk's transformation from questioning to trusting, from trembling to rejoicing, offering listeners practical wisdom for their own faith journeys. Pastor Glenis reminds us that prayer isn't about manipulating God to act according to our timeline but "giving God permission to help as His love, power and wisdom directs." His closing declaration resonates with hope: "With or without miracles, Jesus wins. With or without miracles, Jesus is with us." For anyone navigating a season where God's intervention seems delayed, this message provides both comfort and courage to keep trusting in His perfect timing.
