Najwa teaches that Scripture is not just for knowledge but for transformation into Christ’s likeness. We learn to claim God’s promises as our inheritance, live by the fruits of the Spirit, and grow into true oneness with God (theosis). From Abraham’s sacrifice to the fulfillment in Jesus, Najwa shows how the Bible is God’s love letter and last will—ours to receive and declare in every storm. A deeply encouraging call to trust, surrender, and become more like Him.
In this powerful and heartfelt episode of The Harvest, Najwa Bateh reminds us that we are not gathered simply to gain more knowledge, but to be transformed from the inside out into the image and likeness of Christ.
With her characteristic warmth and depth, Najwa teaches that the true purpose of reading Scripture is not intellectual mastery—even someone with a PhD in theology can miss the heart change God desires. Instead, the Word is meant to produce the fruits of the Holy Spirit in us: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. These fruits become most visible when we walk through life’s storms with unshakable calm, because we have learned to claim God’s promises as our inheritance.
Najwa beautifully explains how the Bible is God’s last will and testament to us—opened by the death of Jesus and filled with thousands of promises we must actively claim. From “I will never leave you nor forsake you” to the peace that surpasses all understanding, these promises are ours to speak back to God in every circumstance.
She explores the profound biblical concept of theosis—oneness with God—where our thoughts, desires, and actions increasingly align with His. Drawing from the story of Abraham, Sarah, Hagar, Isaac, and Ishmael, Najwa traces the roots of sacrifice, the covering of shame through the blood of the Lamb, and how Jesus ultimately fulfilled what animal sacrifices could only foreshadow. She even connects these ancient truths to the modern-day pilgrimage to Mecca, showing how the hunger for God echoes across centuries and faiths.
The session is wrapped in fervent prayer—beginning with the Trisagion and the Lord’s Prayer, and closing with thanksgiving for God’s faithfulness across generations, asking that every listener and their descendants may one day be together in heaven.
Whether you’re new to faith or have walked with the Lord for decades, this episode will stir your heart to pursue deeper intimacy with God, to trust His promises without reservation, and to let the Holy Spirit produce His beautiful fruit in you.
