HagenprekenEen zaaier ging uit van een graaierTerwijl de Heilige Koe Barbecue nog na smeult van bewezen diensten in seizoen 4, kwamen in de zomer verzoeken binnen voor wat rentmeester-restantjes. Daarom, in het kader van pragmatisch onderwijs, vat Benaiah nog eenmaal de koe bij de horens deze nazomer. Want leven om te geven vraagt om de nodige oefening. Dat oefening niet optioneel maar noodzakelijk is, blijkt wel uit het verhaal van een arme weduwe. Kennelijk is God meer onder de indruk van ons zaaien dan ons zingen.Benaiah geeft ondertussen een inkijkje hoe zijn eigen geef-groeicurve in gang werd gezet met grote weerzin...
2023-09-0234 minHagenprekenProfeten in pampers en in schapenvachtAll you need is love... ja én natuurlijk je uitstrekken naar profeteren... Tenminste, daar hamerde de apostel Paulus nogal op: profeteren mag! Maar wat als iemand de plank misslaat? Wat als dit chaos creëert in levens van mensen en in de kerk? Toch maar verbieden? Of gewoon ouderwets stenigen als het een foute profetie blijkt te zijn? Of zijn er nog meer opties?Benaiah pakt het onderwerp van de vorige afleveringen nog één keer op. Dit keer om je een zevental kenmerken te geven waaraan je profetie kan toetsen, zodat je beginnende profeten en prof...
2021-07-3132 minHagenprekenGods Woord maakt je blij, bedroeft of boosOf we Christus bij Zijn komst tegemoet kunnen gaan met Zijn Woord als een licht op ons pad, hangt af van de hoeveelheid olie die we dachten nodig te hebben. Maar totdat de kerk het profetisch geluid van Zijn komst doorkrijgt, liggen we er allemaal vredig bij: slapend! Vandaar dat God een stevige mening heeft over profeten die juist in deze laatste dagen enkel "vrede, vrede" profeteren (en dat vaak om de lieve vrede), en daarmee verzaken vestingsmuren op te bouwen ter bescherming van Zijn volk tegen invloeden van buitenaf.Benaiah stipt aan hoe niet...
2021-07-2328 minHagenprekenProfetie: positieve peptalk en de beste wensen?Profetie staat tegenwoordig weer op de kaart. Een aanzienlijk aantal kerken en gemeenten staat er in meer of mindere mate voor open. Tenminste, onze hedendaagse versie. Dat is, voorzichtige toespelingen op de toekomst omkleedt door vooral fijne en opbouwende bemoedigingen.Met Ă©Ă©n tekst van de apostel Paulus als gulden regel, kreeg profetie anno-nu een drietonige klank, wat helaas ook een goede toetsing in de weg kan staan. Want ja, zeg nu zelf, je gaat positief profetisch gepraat toch niet bestempelen als goedbedoelde, beste wensen voor de toekomst?Dit keer gaat Benaiah even wat dieper het Wo...

Een ding is zeker: profetie maakt vaak veel emoties los en verdient een plekje in deze serie van het leren verstaan van Gods stem. | Benaiah legt dit keer uit waarom profetie nu typisch...

Toch zou het makkelijk zijn als God af en toe een teken gaf.Maar geeft God ons nog wel tekenen? En zo ja, hoe dan? En met welk doel?Een aflevering waarin Benaiah het risico neemt om in een hokje te worden geplaatst, maar toch laat zien hoe buiten-de-lijntjes-kleuren niet cart blanche geeft om buiten het Bijbelse canvas te tekenen. Want een teken-aan-de-wand moet wel Gods-teken-aan-de-wand blijven.Bijbelpassages: 1 Sam. 28:6; Num. 27:21; Heb. 11:1; L...

Toch?Daarbij, waarom zou je eigenlijk willen dat God je leven leidt? Je kan toch zelf wel uitvogelen wat het beste bij je past?Dit keer neemt Benaiah een manier van Gods leiding verstaan onder de loep, die veel mensen soms losjes hanteren om...

Of is simpelweg uit volle borst zingen: 'You give and take away! You give and take away!' En met een traantje: 'My heart will choose to say, blessed be the name of the Lord...'?Lijden en het onverhoorde gebed lijken onlosmakelijk met elkaar verbonden. Net als het Bijbelse boegbeeld Job, die in een soort van weddenschap tussen God en satan, de ultieme boksbal leek te zijn. In deze aflevering geeft Benaiah een aantal invalshoeken die...

Visioenen en beelden zijn unieke manieren van hoe Hij communiceert met ons.Benaiah schetst deze aflevering hoe visioenen in allerlei gradaties voorkomen: van een blik op de hemel tot previews in het leven van alledag.Als jij iemand bent van 'eerst-zien-en-dan-geloven', is deze aflevering waarschijnlijk voor jou!Bijbelpassages: Hos. 12:10; Hand. 2:17-18; (Gen. 28:12, 13; Ex. 24:9,10; Ex. 33:23; 2 Chron. 18:18; Jes. 6:1; Ezek. 1:26; 10:1; Dan. 7:9; Mt. 17:9; Hand. 7:55; 2 Kor. 12:2; Open. 4:2); Num. 12:6; Job. 33:15; Num. 24:3Â Meer info: https://saintk9.nl | https://saintk9.com

En wat wat praktische handgrepen hoe je stapsgewijs een droom onder de loep kan nemen om tot een betekenis te komen.Ook deelt hij hoe een droom met een 'tijdslot' bezegeld kan worden met een nachtvisioen die tijd en ruimte overstijgt.Bijbelpassages...

En daarin is Hij verre van shock-schuw of preuts! Een praktische aflevering dit keer met tal van handvatten en voorbeelden om een begin te maken met het interpreteren van jouw eigen dromen op een verantwoorde manier. En, nee, daar heb je dus geen pdf-je met sy...
2021-05-1632 minHagenprekenGod spreekt door dromenDe meeste dromen zijn niet bepaald bedrog, maar eerder verwerking van je bezigheden. Toch, als je er alert op bent, kunnen jouw dromen je meer vertellen over jezelf dan enkel hoeveel je aan je hoofd hebt.God slaapt noch sluimert, dus Hij praat 's nachts gewoon door als je je daarvoor openstelt. Vandaar dat Benaiah je dit keer meeneemt op een Bijbelse ontdekkingsreis naar waarom God ons soms aanspreekt in onze dromen. Daarbij geeft hij alvast een voorzetje voor jouw persoonlijke ontdekkingsreis van hoe je dromen en nachtvisioenen je inzicht kunnen geven.En dat heeft n...
2021-05-0925 minHagenprekenHoe herken je Gods stem in het advies van anderen?Goede raad is niet duur. Goede raad wordt meestal gewoon vermeden of verward met bijval en empathie. Toch, als het aankomt op het onderscheiden van de stem en de leiding van God in ons leven, leert de Bijbel ons dat er veiligheid is in de veelheid van raadgevers.Via het verhaal van een jonge ambitieuze koning, laat Benaiah zien hoe je beste vriend(inn)en niet per sé de beste raadgevers hoeven te zijn.Oftewel, typisch een aflevering voor een ieder die bevestiging zoekt voor zijn kayak-missie naar IJsland.... of voor een ieder die liever s...

Dan kan het zijn dat Hij je bijstuurt door omstandigheden.Naar aanleiding van een verhaaltje uit de kinderbijbel met een hoog Sjakie-en-de-bonenstaak gehalte, laat Benaiah zien wat de beste strategie is als je zelf een Jona aan boord hebt gehaald; maar vooral hoe God kan spreken door de stormen en ongemakkelijke situaties in ons leven. Bijbelpassages: Klaag. 12:12; Luk. 10:42; Kol. 3:2; Joh. 9:4; Mar. 10:27; Mar. 12:39-41; Jona 1-4.Meer info: https://saintk9.nl | h...

Of kan de intellectuele mens naast openheid voor buitenaards leven, nog openstaan voor het fluisteren van de Schepper?Benaiah laat je zien hoe God kan spreken op zoân manier dat het voor jou duidelijk te horen is, maar voor anderen om jou heen niet. En wat het verschil is als Hij spreekt tot je vs. in en met je.Maar wat heeft dat met wind te maken?Bijbelpassages: 2 Kor. 5:7; Rom. 4:17; Rom. 10:17; Heb. 13:8; Jes. 30:20-21; Deut. 18:21-22; Eze. 3:24; Ma...

Ieder mens, christen of niet-christen, heeft namelijk met regelmaat bepaalde voorgevoelens of een dévà vu. Sommigen daarvan blijken zelfs eng accuraat. Zijn voorgevoelens ook manieren van God om dingen aan ons duidelijk te maken, of begeven we ons geestelijk dan op glad ijs?Benaiah geeft je een aantal safety tips en legt uit waarom het verstaan van Gods stem niet zozeer een puzzeltje is, maar eerder een rekensom.Bijbelpassages: Deut. 18:10-12 (NBG); Hand. 27:9-10; Joh. 13:21; Hand. 17:16; 18:5; Sp...

Namelijk, sterke indrukken die je van binnen kan krijgen in bepaalde situaties. Zien we dit terug in de Bijbel? Jazeker! Benaiah neemt je mee langs de afgrond van de Grand Canyon, via een gemist etentje en een dronken Tibetaanse lama, om uit te leggen hoe God kan spreken door indrukken. Bijbelpassages: 1 Joh. 2:20, 27; Hand. 27:9-12; Joh. 13:20-21; Hand. 17:16-34; Hand. 18:5-6; 2 Kor. 5:14.Meer info: https://saintk9.nl | https://saintk9.com

Dit keer om je te wijzen op één van de manieren van Gods spreken die er in de Bijbel nogal dik bovenop ligt. Namelijk, dat God graag verhalen vertelt.En laat er nu één verhaal zijn dat de sleutel geeft tot het begrijpen van alle verhalen die God vertelt. Of da...

Is waarheid wat we ervaren? Of kleurt de waarheid onze ervaringen?In deze achtste aflevering even tijd voor een reflectief moment. Benaiah loodst je langs een paar cruciale vragen die bepalend zijn voor het hoe en het waarom van het verstaan van Gods stem. Want wat telt eigenlijk als 'stem'? En waarom is het eigenlijk nodig dat we God een stem geven in ons leven? En wat heeft dit onderwerp eigenlijk m...

En hoe werkt dit eigenlijk?Deze week legt Benaiah kort uit dat iedereen feitelijk een ingebouwde 'weter' heeft. En die 'weter' zorgt ervoor dat je vrede of onvrede ervaart over dingen. En als je hier alert op bent, kan je de blijdschap ervaren van hoe Gods vrede tot je spreekt in veel situaties.Bijbelpassages: Joh. 16:13; Jes. 9:5; Col. 3:15; Jer. 17:13-18; Joh. 8:1-11; Rom. 3:23; Gal. 5:17; Rom. 9:1; Joh. 14:27; Fil. 4:7; Jes. 55:11-12.Meer info: https://saintk9.n...

En kan het zijn dat je misschien de Heilige Geest wel hebt, maar dat Hij jou nog niet helemaal heeft? Deze week legt Benaiah uit waarom wandelen-onder-invloed-van-de-Heilige-Geest een must is in het verstaan van Gods stem.Bijbelpassages: Joh. 1:1-4; Joh. 14:16-17, 25-26; Joh. 15:5; Joh. 16:12-15; Rom. 5:5; 1 Kor. 6:19-20; Efe. 1:13-14; 5:18; Rom. 8:15; Hand. 19.Meer info: https://saintk9.nl | https://s...

Deze week geeft Benaiah je wat handvatten om God aan het Woord te laten in je lezen van de Bijbel.Bijbelpassages: Efeze 2:8-10, Ps. 119:105, 2 Kor. 3:6, 2 Tim. 3:16-17, 2 Sam. 7:3, Num. 22.

En ook waarom God er meer baat bij heeft dat jij Zijn stem leert verstaan, dan dat jij verlangt Zijn woorden te horen. Maar wat heeft dit te maken met jouw functie als brief...?Bijbelpassages: Joh. 10:27. 30 | Deut. 6:4 | Joh. 1:1-5 | Micha 6:8 | Heb. 13:5 | Matt. 28:20 | Luk. 18:29-30 | 2 Kor. 6:14 | Jac. 4:3-4 | 2 Kor. 2:2-3...
