BRAG ON GOD: Recent Episodes
By: Melissa Imani
Let’s study the Bible together. There’s so many great lessons in there. The Bible (Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth) still helps us navigate obstacles that we deal with everyday. So, let’s learn, let's have fun and let's get into it!
Three (3) questions… How do we see ourselves? How does God see us? And, How do we see God?--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/melissa-imani31/message
One of the greatest gifts that God has given us is the gift of CHOICE!
Choose this day who you will serve. Once you choose the winning team you've got to learn the rules of the game. You've got to study the by-laws. Don't lose your place on the team. Take refuge in Him. he will be your peace, your protector... your Father.

Trusting God doesn’t happen without tests and trials. It’s what you do and who you lean on during those tests that gets you through to the other side. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/melissa-imani31/message
Did you ever wonder what the Isrealites felt when they faced the Red Sea? Were they afraid (thinking they would never make it), depressed (feeling like if it ain't one thing, it's another) or did they feel angry (wondering where is God and what has Moses gotten us into)?
Did their feelings intensify every time they swallowed a gulp of water or lost a sandal?
Well, I think our life can be very similar but what do we chose to think, feel, believe and who will we trust? Kick back and take a listen. I hope this episode helps you trust in God more and enjoy this journey called life. Be blessed always :)

Do you want to be debt-free? Well, it starts with a strong dose of courage. Courage to face the unknown. Honestly, for months it was easier for me not to face my debt. My income was so erratic that I felt like I couldn't even get organized. Once I got some more stability, then I had the courage to face my debt. I also knew that I was going to have to forgive myself once I looked behind door #2. I realized it wasn't going to be an easy fix. It's easy to get into debt but harder and longer to get out. I created a fluid plan that I can modify and grow with. I'm envisioning the life that I want to live and working towards it but in the process I'm proud of myself for taking the necessary steps and most importantly trusting God and knowing that my Daddy always has my back.

Did you know the bible mentions REST 257 times?
Are we a generation that is afraid to rest (or even get caught with our eyes closed)?
Well, here's a different take on rest. It's our way of coming close to God, taking comfort in the fact that He has all things under control, regardless of temporary storms.
Take a listen and let's get some rest ya'll :)

On a daily level, we face many challenges. The challenge is, who will we believe, what we see in the physical or God's word?
"For truly I tell you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you." (Matthew 17:20-21).
Let's walk this journey out in FAITH!

Can I afford to keep being a "work in progress?" When the door to eternity is finally closed there's no amount of begging, crying, screaming or grace and mercy that can allow us a "do-over"

The power of life and death is in the tongue (Proverbs 18:21). How are we using our words to send messages? Are we considering how those words are being received? Are we blocking our blessings by the words that we speak, even though our intentions are, usually, good. Today I share my confession (sometimes I ask myself why did commit to being transparent). Hopefully it helps someone else have a little insight. Continue to be blessed and be a blessing!

Hey ya'll. This week we'll dive into when distractions come in the form of a Sister Salty (anyone that attempts to derail you from your goals with a bad attitude). Have ya'll met Sis Salty before?

God's design is bigger than the world that we see! The battle of good and evil has prevailed for centuries. Our challenge: "Will you walk out on water? Will you breathe on heaven's door? Will you leave a path to follow?... A beautiful world. Only faith can ease your burden, Only love can heal the hurt, Let your peace fall on the earth ... A beautiful world" (Lyrics by: Kem Beautiful World)

What is our role in creating the life that we want? God has put every good and pleasing thing within our reach but are we ready for all our blessings right now? Maybe, just maybe we might have some growth and maturity to attain before we can responsibly handle the relationships, the money and the material things that we desire. Adam and Eve weren't quite ready and look where it got them. Instead of focusing on the blessings, let's focus on growing the relationship with our Creator. He has all good things for us but the bible says seek Him first!

It never ceases to amaze me how God can and will use any of us for His good, despite what others say about us. Here we get a glimpse of Rahab's skills that God has gifted her with, her made-up mind, her desire to protect those she loves and her desire to do right. Sister Rai, you are my WCW. Happy hump day to all :)

What does it mean to be a good friend? Believe it or not, it starts with us! In this segment I look at what it takes to be a good friend, someone who has a VIP seat in the front row of my life and someone who I strive to earn a front row seat in their life where I can be their biggest cheerleader and supporter. I also take a look at "relationships" that can sometimes be disguised as "imposter friends" people just taking space to spy on your life. It's so important to take time to be in tune with yourself so you can pick up on harmonious energy and intentions and repel the toxic ones. To my friends, thank you for making me a better person. Love y'all :)

How do we control our negative emotions so they don't control us? Unfortunately, negative feelings are going to come. As we mature, we should be having less temper tantrums, hopefully, LOL. In this episode, I'll share with you my most recent ATT (adult temper tantrum). I share how I managed it in the moment while my feelings were flaring, how I processed it so I could own my freedom and how I use those feelings to recalibrate the vision for my life. In 1 Corinthians 13: 4-7, God gives us a blueprint for how to handle our emotions and assurance that He will be there with us in those dark times.
