Stagione 1
As I draw this season to an end!! WOW I can’t believe season one is here and done. Please pray for me as I prepare for season 2 and as I follow God. I'm standing in faith that we are coming back stronger in season 2. My goal is to grow and give God glory. I want people to find Christ and others to grow in Christ. I have been on a personal journey NOT to be a church girl but a follower of Christ. I can not confine my walk with Him only to my experiences in the four walls of the church. I am not church bashing because I do believe that church is good. BUT I understand that God is more than Sunday morning service. I truly want to make Him the center of my life and I understand that is a life long journey. That doesn't happen overnight but it happens as we walk with Him. He will reveal to us the areas where Christ is not the center and He gives us opportunities to change that narrative. I' ve realized over the years how the Lord begin to gentle move me more and more in His will. The more I believe and followed , the centered He became. Is Christ the center of your life? Scripture: John 4:23 Hebrews 11:6 Proverbs 4:7-9 Proverbs 3:5-7
You are not alone in this walk, you have a sister in Christ that is actively praying for the blessing of God to rain down over His children. I am actively praying for souls to be saved, I am praying for your freedom through Christ Jesus. Stay encouraged to walk another day, Stay encourage to overcome and tackle any fear. Stay encourage to stay at the feet of God, stay encourage to read your word and ask God to transform you! Stay encourage. We are in this together! Stay encouraged. 1Samuel 30:6 6 And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the Lord his God.
Pride comes in many forms it's not just boisterous, loud or obnoxious but sometimes its be silent and appear as gentle. Have you ever thought not wanting to be rejected is pride. Having lack of patience..pride. Pride keeps us form living in the fullness of God. Pride will not allow us to come into new knowledge...only if it presented a certain way. What's keeping you from growing is the quiet but fierce voice of pride. Proverbs 16;18 says Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall The Lord is so gracious where he give us warning and taps on our shoulder to open our eye to ourselves but do we listen. If you have been praying for something and wondering why it has happened check you heart, pride could be there. Scripture reference: Luke 10:38-42 Luke 2: 41-52
I know I am talking about judging again.... but there is a reason. I feel that we as believers pride ourselves on being the world's moral compass which in turn allows us to be the "judge" of the world. Somewhere along the line the body of Christ has become comfort with speaking in judgment in not in love and grace. That needs to stop!! Can we righteously judge? what does that even mean? Well, let's dive in. Scriptures references: John 7:19-24, Isaiah 55:8-9, John 8:15-16, 1 Corinthians 13 Galatians 6:1
I said Yes to Him!!!!! I said Yes to His Love. Yes to His Grace! Yes to Forgiveness and Power! I said Yes!! But what did I say yes too? When we ask Jesus to be the Lord of our lives, we receive so much from Him. We know that we could never truly repay Christ for all that He has done but He did give us instructions when following Him. Matthew 16:24-26 24 Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 25 For whoever would save his life[a] will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.26 For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul? Jesus said He wants not only our lives but also we must deny ourselves. Take up your cross. When I said yes to Christ , there was an exchange.. if I knew it or not. I gave Him my life for eternal life. I gave Him my ambitions to take on His calling. I gave Him my entire heart with all of it's broken pieces, holes and bruise so He may mend it. I gave Him my insecurities for His assurance. There is an exchange that happens when we say yes. There's a cross we must bare, there is a releasing of "self' to live in the fullness of God. Scripture Reference : Matthew 16:24-26 Romans 10:2-4
We have all heard this scripture stated and proclaimed within our faith. I have heard it my entire life but the emphasis was on "I" instead of Christ Can we do all things through Christ? Yes!! As long as it is ordained and glorifies Christ. If I am proclaiming that I can do all things through Christ, I might want to check with Him first...... you know just to make sure this decision is apart of His perfect will. God do you want me to do this? I think it is great we use this as a declaration to encourage ourselves in the Lord. Also, we must be mindful of it becoming a mantra that loses the focus of Christ. It is Christ who has all power, grace, mercy, love and truth. It is Christ who has redemptive power. Paul was suggesting that in circumstances I can over come because of Christ. He understood that it is not his strength but it was Christ strength that allow him to continue in his journey. He was on a Christ mission. Are you? So, I will ask again Can you do all things through Christ? Scripture reference: Philippians 4:4-14 2 Corinthians 12:5-12 Matthew 6:33
Sooooooo I'm a little bothered! Here is the truth, we as humans like to share our opinions in some way or another, which is fine but what happens when our opinion is presented as facts regarding interpreting the word of God? This is what bothers me. It bothers me when we use our opinion or bias as God's facts. This can cause confusion, help feed others ignorance or worse, lead people away from God. Unfortunately not all believers have pure agendas. Some want a certain group of people to succeed while not truly uplifting others. We have to check our bias and we have to check our hearts. Here I am asking, "where are God's warriors?" The one that will preach, teach or live the word of God without a hidden agenda. Their desire is to operate in the spirit of love and be His vessel here on earth. Where are the people who will not shy from hearing and speaking truth even if the truth will hurt their feelings? There is a group of people whose heart's mission is only to glorifying God. It's time to be vocal and seen. Get in the fight warrior! We need you. Scriptures read to in this podcast: Ephesians 6:11-20 and Matthew 19:26
In this episode let's talk about who is in our corner. Our team, family, friends who ever God has called to walk with you is extremely important. When Christ was preparing the disciples of what was to come he explained that they will be persecuted and every one will not believe BUT they must stay strong to mission of spreading the gospel. Christ himself needed to the prophets and John the baptist to prepare the way for Him. After the death and resurrection of Christ the disciples where needed to continue to spread the good news. With all this being said, if Christ needed people why do we feel like we don't. God realized that Adam needed Eve Genesis 2;18 The LORD God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.” A weapon that I see often used against the body of Christ is the " I don't need anyone mindset" or " I'm good by myself" mentality. Of course these are not the spiritual terms found in the Bible but you understand what I am saying. LOl. But really.... we can't be a one person island and we can't ignore the people God has assign to help while holding on to those that we need to be free of. So I'll ask again who is in your corner?
Today let's prayer but not pray about anything but specifically give thanks. Thanks to God for all that He has done and all that He will do. 1 Thessalonians 5;16-18 16 Rejoice evermore. 17 Pray without ceasing. 18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. Give thanks in all things, give thanks in the good and challenging moments. Give thanks. I'm not asking you to ignore the challenges or difficult moments in your life. Im asking you to find hope and rejoice that God provided us a way of escape. He will not place on you more than you can bear. Let's give thanks. I Corinthians 10;13 No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.
This episode I just want to speak from my heart about our ability to choose Hope. 24/7 News cycles to social media can leave you hopeless and breed unnecessary insecurities that does not come from God. We have to find reminders of who God is. Find a way to reminder yourself and others about His love even in less than favorable outcomes. Our hope is not based in what we want but based in who Christ is. You have to find your reminder. Can you still have hope in what appears to be a hopeless situation. What if you don't get the job? Will you still believe that God's will is perfect? Find a way to reminder yourself of your perfect Heavenly Father.
