Empowerment sessions are not a church service—but are a service to the church. Our automobiles, homes, electronics and various other tools in our lives need maintenance, upgrades and repairs. Are we as a person any different? Empowerment Sessions are where believers get the opportunity to make the necessary corrections, adjustments and spiritual enhancements needed to be better equipped to live more powerful lives for Christ. Acts 1:8
Empowerment sessions offer the opportunity for one-on-one coaching, discipleship and self-improvement, in a confidential but very transparent group setting. Those who attend experience powerful personal sharing of life experiences and struggles which allows for all to defeat the lie of the enemy that says “you’re all alone in this”. You are not alone. You are just a few clicks away from your empowerment. You need to join us soon. When you begin to operate with power in EVERY area of your life, then you have achieved Powerful Living. Join your host, Henry Flowers, as we discover principles that produce the "rich and satisfying life" that Jesus said that He wants for us.
Let's also make strides in the area of teen pregnancy prevention. My book will help your teens avoid the dangers of excessive unsupervised idle time, which is the major cause of trouble for too many of our teens; and it will help them to move from where they are to living the life that they love. Get it here. http://amzn.com/1503271021

Speaker 1 (00:03):
The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies display
his craftsmanship day after day. They continue to speak night
after night. They make Him known. They speak without a
sound or word. Their voice is never heard. Yet their
(00:28):
message has gone throughout the earth, and their words to
all the world. God has made a home in the
heavens for the Sun. It burst forth like a radiant
bridegroom after his wedding. It rejoices like a great athlete
eager to run the race. The sun rises at one
(00:50):
end of the heavens and follows its course to the
other end. Nothing can hide from its heat. The instructions
of the Lord are perfect, reviving the soul. The decrees
of the Lord are trustworthy, making wise the simple. The
(01:14):
commandments of the Lord are right, bringing joy to the heart.
The commands of the Lord are clear, giving insight for living.
Reverence for the Lord is pure and lasting forever. The
laws of the Lord are true. Each one is fair.
(01:41):
They are more desirable than gold, even the finest gold.
They are sweeter than honey, even honey dripping from the comb.
They are warning to you, servant. They are a warning
to you, servant. A great reward for those who obey him.
(02:07):
How can I know all the sins lurking in my heart?
Cleanse me from these hidden faults. Keep your servant from
deliberate sins. Don't let them control me. Then I will
be free of guilt and innocent of great sin. May
the words of my mouth and the meditation of my
(02:29):
heart be pleasing to you, O Lord, my Rock and
my Redeemer, Psalm chapter twenty. In times of trouble, May
the Lord answer your cry. May the name of the Lord,
(02:49):
God of Jacob keep you safe from all harm. May
he send you help from his sanctuary in strengthen you
from Jerusalem. May He remember all your gifts and look
favorably upon your burnt offerings. May He grant your heart's
desires and make all your plans succeed. May we shall
(03:16):
for joy when we hear of your victory, and raise
a victory banner in the name of our God. May
the Lord answer all your prayers. Now I know that
the Lord rescues his anointed king. He will answer him
from his holy heaven and rescue him by his great power.
(03:38):
Some nations boast of their chariots and horses, but we
boast in the name of the Lord, our God. Those
nations will fall down and collapse, but we will rise
up and stand firm. Give victory to our King, O Lord,
(04:00):
answer our cry for help. Psalm chapter twenty one. How
the King rejoices in your strength, O Lord. He shouts
with joy because you give him victory. For you have
given him his heart's desire. You have withheld nothing he requested.
(04:27):
You welcome him back with success and prosperity. You placed
a crown of finest gold on his head. He asks
you to preserve his life, and you granted his request.
The days of his life stretch on forever, and your
victory brings him great honor, And you have clothed him
(04:48):
with splendor and majesty. You have endowed him with eternal
blessings and given him the joy of your presence. King
trusts in the Lord. The unfailing love of the most
High will keep him from stumbling. You will capture all
(05:14):
your enemies. Your strong right hand will seize all who
hate you. You will throw them in a flaming furnace.
When you appear, the Lord will consume them in his anger.
Fire will devour them. You will wipe their children from
the face of the earth. They will never have descendants.
Although they plot against you, their evil schemes will never succeed,
(05:37):
for they will turn and run when they see your
arrows aimed at them. Rise up, o Lord, in all
your power. With music and singing, we celebrate your mighty acts.
Psalm twenty two. My God, My God, Why have you
(06:05):
abandoned me? Why are you so far away? When I've
groan for help? And every day I call you, my God,
but you do not answer. Every night I lift up
my voice, but I find no relief. Yet you are holy,
enthroned on the praises of Israel. Our ancestors trusted in you,
(06:32):
and you rescue them. They cried out to you and
were saved. They trusted in you and were never disgraced.
But I am a worm and not a man. I
am scorned and despised by all. Everyone who sees me
mocks me. They sneer and shake their heads, saying, is
(06:53):
this the one who relies on the Lord, Then let
the Lord save him. If the Lord loves him so much,
let the Lord rescue him. Yet you brought me safely
from my mother's womb and led me to trust you.
At my mother's breast, I was thrust into your arms
at my birth. You have been my god from the
(07:16):
moment I was born. Do not stay far from me,
for my trouble is near and no one else can
help me. My enemies surround me like a herd of bulls.
Fierce bulls out of bashing, have hemmed me in Like lions.
(07:37):
They open their jaws against me, roaring and tearing into
their prey. My life is poured out like water, and
all my bones are out of joint. My heart is
like wax melting within me. My strength is dried up
like a sun baked clay. My tongue ung sticks to
(08:00):
the roof of my mouth. You have laid me in
the dust and left me for dead. My enemies surround
me like a pack of dogs, and evil gang closes
in on me. They have pierced my hands and feet.
I can count all my bones. My enemies stare at
me and gloat. They divide my garments among themselves and
(08:22):
throw dice for my clothing. O Lord, do not stay
far away. You are my strength. Come quickly to my aid.
Save me from the sword. Spare my precious life from
these dogs. Snatch me from the lion's jaws and from
the horns of these wild oxen, I will proclaim your
(08:47):
name to my brothers and sisters. I will praise you
among your simble people. Praise the Lord, all you who
fear him. Honor him. You descendants of Jacob, Show him reverence,
all you descendants of Israel. For he is not ignored
(09:07):
or belittle the suffering of the needy. He has not
turned his back on them, but he has listened to
their cries for help. I will praise you in the
great assembly. I will fulfill my vows in the presence
of those who worship you. The poor will eat and
be satisfied. All who seek the Lord will praise him.
(09:30):
Their hearts will rejoice with everlasting joy. The whole earth
will acknowledge the Lord and return to him. All families
of the nations will bow down before him. For royal
power belongs to the Lord. He rules all the nations.
(09:56):
Let the rich of the earth feast and worship bow
before him. All who are mortal, all whose lives will
end as dust. Our children will also serve him. Future
generations will hear about the wonders of the Lord. His
(10:16):
righteous acts will be told to those not yet born.
They will hear about everything he has done. Amen, Hello
for him. Thank you so much for being with us
in this podcast over the airwaves of YouTube or wherever
(10:39):
you find your podcasts. Thank you so much for being
a part. Make sure to subscribe, turn on notifications, and
feel free to share this information with anyone who you
believe could use a little bit more power in their lives.
Speaking of power, be sure to join us on Sunday
(11:00):
mornings as we gather together in the Cincinnati area at
five six one six Wolfpen, Pleasant Hill Road in Milford, Ohio.
We will be in the upper room at General Dentistry.
Ten thirty am on Sunday mornings is when we gather together.
(11:21):
We have an empowerment session immediately after the broadcast. This
is where the true powerful living is put into practice.
If you want to come together and work on something
with me one on one coaching in a group setting,
then you want to be a part of the empowerment sessions.
(11:43):
I cannot tell you how many testimonies and how much
transformation has occurred as a result of these empowerment sessions.
You want to be here, the church being the church,
people coming in with their stuff, working on it with me,
using biblical principles and getting real transformation in real time
(12:07):
so that we ourselves can be empowered, then we can
be able to go and empower others. My friend, that
is what powerful living is. So you definitely want to
join us in the Empowerment sessions in person, and also
you can join us live via zoom and the zoom
information is in the description box. Join us ten thirty
(12:30):
am every Sunday, Eastern Statter Time. Look forward to seeing
you there. Many of you have been asking how you
can give and support Powerful Living ministries. I have a
few options for you. I often go and speak to
our young people who are just living in desperate times.
(12:52):
I'm not really sure if I would want to be
a young person living in these times with these societal
norms that are just bang banging banging at the door
of their moral houses and they need help. So the
help that I deliver when I go and speak to
these young people are through powerful testimonial speeches, motivational speeches,
(13:14):
whatever you want to call it, but biblical principles and
same things I deliver in the Empowerment sessions and in
the podcast is what I deliver when I speak to
colleges and high schools. Now, I often go and speak
about what I wrote in my book, which is titled
Bored to Death Five Steps to gear Up and be
(13:35):
about that life. This is a pulling together of personal stories,
things that I have lived through and how I went
from where I was living on the streets of Detroit,
and how I survived the streets of Detroit and created
a life that I love. When I had all of
the obstacles in my way, I had the perfect recipe
(13:58):
to become satistic. How did I overcome? What did I
do well? Those questions are answered in my book Bored
to Death and five Easy Steps. I share these steps
with young people and I get transformation, and I see transformation.
Their lives are empowered on a daily basis. This is
(14:18):
powerful living in action when I go and speak to
these young people. Now, how you can come alongside is
a couple of ways. You can obviously give directly to
this ministry. If you want to reach out to us
Powerful Living twenty twenty two at gmail dot com. You
can reach out to us directly and just say, hey, Henry,
how can I support your ministry financially? Also, you can
(14:43):
text us or call, but likely a text would be
better at five one, three, four, zero, four, seven, seven
nine three. Leave us a message and just tell us
I'd like to be involved financially. How can I support
your ministry and we'll give back to you there as well. Also,
(15:04):
you can contact us about purchasing copies of my book
so that when I go and speak to the young
people in high school. Sometimes I'll do middle schools, but
most of the time it's high school and college and
those who are usually financially constrained and don't have the
opportunity to purchase my book. If you purchase my book,
(15:25):
every book that you purchase will be an opportunity for
me to put another one copy of my books in
the hands of our young people, and so they can
take home the message that I deliver in person, and
they can be empowered and study and see what I
did to create a life that I love, and therefore
they'll be able to see themselves doing it as well.
(15:48):
That's powerful living, and my friend, that is powerful giving.
And I hope you will take us up on that opportunity.
If you have feedback and you'd like to suggest a
show topic, content ideas, if you have questions, if I
said something that you don't agree with. Whatever it is,
(16:11):
whatever kind of feedback that you'd like to give, bring it.
You can email us Powerful Living twenty twenty two at
gmail dot com. You can call us at five Poine
three or as Aeroport seven seventy nine to three. However
you get your information to us, just understand I will
respond to you directly. I am open questions, concerns, show ideas, topics,
(16:38):
anything you have in reference to feedback. You let me
know and especially tell us how this ministry has powerfully
impacted your life, and I will likely share that on
a live broadcast. Thank you so much for being a
part of this ministry. I can't wait to see these
empowerment sessions hop up all over the country, all over
(17:02):
the world, and all over the lives of people. Powerful
Living is there for you and me. Thank you, my friends,
God bless you.
