In this episode we dive into the word of God in Acts 2:42, Galatians 1, 1 Corinthians 3:16-17 and as the holy spirit leads. The topics of humility, knowledge, understanding and wisdom are all discussed in the span of this conversation. If you would like to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior today: Heavenly Father , I come before to say I am in need. In need of a savior, in need of more. Lord I have been broken and torn, I have done wrong and I have doubted. Lord today I acknowledge that you are God, you are the great I AM. Jesus you are the Christ, you are that shepherd that leaves the 99 to come get the one. Today I am coming to you as that one. Today Jesus I confess that you are my Lord and Savior. That you Jesus ,died for me and rose back up after 3 days. You put my sin to death so I can live. Jesus I need you today and for the rest of my life. This day I am a new creation. Today my life is yours God as it has been from when you made me. Lord come and rule and reign in my life and steer me along your path of righteousness. In Jesus name , amen.

How is everyone? Let's have a check in. Let's be vulnerable. In this episode we tackle vulnerability , keeping faith, believing , pain and discomfort and the uncertain. In this season , I am becoming more aware of God's presence, of course he has never left. However sometimes we may forget to acknowledge that he is there due to whatever may come up within our lives and get this, this is among believers. We know the scriptures, we know the verses that wrap us in like a warm comfortable blanket but sometimes we may neglect how these scriptures can be applied to our lives not just when it is looking very good. We are given opportunities to create endurance and build our character through times and situations where we have to cling onto God's word even more , to invite his presence in even more. Also giving God thanks and praise throughout the season and praise for the season to come. So let's check in, sit and listen to this dialogue then go back to the father and sit with him some more or invite him into every aspect of your life even when you are suffering or going through a storm. Even more to continue speaking to God when life is looking very great or every prayer is being answered but remember every day is a day the lord has made so be glad and rejoice in it!

Join in for a book reading. Many of times we are faced with constant things or just significant things that our fixation and gaze is on the problem, thing , or circumstance at hand however not realizing where God is even in the situation. Not realizing that he has given us the very things that we need to get through, the gifts and vision to do a great work. Ephesians 2:10 says that we are his handiwork created to do good works which he already has "prepared" us in "advance" for. In psalms 139 , all the days of our life were already written before they became to be. "Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be." (psalm 139:16 niv) So join in on this reading of just the beginning process of the production of "A Fresh Face" A book , a collection , a reflection of the father in poetic form said to speak to those that are facing situations where intimacy with the father hasn't been met, hasn't been kept , or just there is a need or longing for intimacy without a clear indignation of how to go about it. This production will not be a how to guide but it will be a refresher , a lovely rebuke, and encouraging body of work set to advance his kingdom, the kingdom of God. Alright that's not even page one but we can't get to page one without even facing page one of today. Today is a page you will face and through this work hopefully through poetry and transparency you will understand more about the father whose own face you are supposed to carry [Image] A Fresh Face .. soon Find all things here: God's own design brand merch Instagram page All links
" But we do see Jesus, who was made lower than the angels for a little while, now crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone. In bringing many sons and daughters to glory, it was fitting that God, for whom and through whom everything exists, should make the pioneer of their salvation perfect through what he suffered." Hebrews 2:9-10 NIV what's hurting right now ? what are some areas that are still tough to deal with or come to terms with? Join in this week as the topic of suffering , being uncomfortable, transformation , and prayer are discussed by Vando. Taking a look at how God is always with us in the midst of the things that we go through, how it is so much more than just about us. We are the ones that will testify of his goodness, his faithfulness, and his love. Do you believe he is Jehovah-rapha? Then he can heal you Do you believe he is Jehovah-Jireh? Then he will provide for you Do you believe he is Jehovah-shalom? Then he will give you peace Mentioned texts: Matthew 11:28-30, Matthew 6:9, James 1:13-14, Hebrews 2:9-10 "All my life" single by Jordan Mays God's own design brand merch Instagram page All links

In this conversation , Vando breaks down the word placed on his heart , speaking as the holy spirit directs on the aspect of silence when it comes to the presence of the Lord. Many a time , we find ourselves within the hustle of everything else that is happening around us that we don't make the time to recognize that God is still very much present. Similar to how we may feel comfortable or safe in the presence of loved ones and we tend to not speak and get quite but a restful quiet , we should shift our perspectives to doing so with the Lord. Dive in and listen to how this is broken down on this episode.

A conversation about Shame Vando sits down and discusses the topic of shame , prayer, God's love and faithfulness, and just creating intimacy and trust with God. Referring to scriptural texts in Psalms 25, Hebrews 5 and 6, Psalm 139 etc. Shame is a subject matter that most may commonly deal with in terms of relationship with the Lord, however do not be disqualified as this discussion tackles that head on and gives insight on how God's kingdom does not welcome shame nor is it tied to a life of shame but rather one of true eternal riches , all thanks to the King of Glory (psalm 24) Our God.
