Far Above: Recent Episodes
Denise
The goal and purpose of my podcast is to encourage fellow Christian Mamas to not give up hope as they love and pray for their confused prodigal child who is living in an alternative lifestyle, but instead to remember that as daughters of the King they are seated with Christ, "Far Above," their circumstances and the enemy's power!

My precious sister in Christ and sister-in-love shares her testimony of being a prodigal and now being on the other side with a prodigal of her own. God never stops working in our lives or the lives of our prodigal. He's still writing our stories for His glory, our good and the good of the Church. We can trust Him sister. Let's intentionally seek the Father's presence and basque in His love for us. He's good and His plans are good for us and our prodigal. He truly loves us.

Have you ever felt alone and like you didn't know who you could share what's going on in your life and with your family?

I've been asked about my podcast story and so in this episode I share all about becoming a podcaster. If you’ve thought about having your own podcast I hope today’s episode encourages you to start with prayer, asking the Father if this is what He’d have you to do, and if so, thank Him that He will lead you and guide you in the way you should go. Proverbs 3:5-6. Please take a few minutes to read Ephesians 1-2:10 which are the verses I base my podcast name after. Blessings!--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/denise351/message

It's been a few weeks since my last episode, so today I share why I haven't posted anything during my 22 Days of Prayer and Fasting initiative.

In this episode we’ll hear Laura’s amazing testimony from Transgender to Transformed, by the power of Jesus! What she shares will encourage your heart beyond words, it did mine. This is my Christmas gift of HOPE to you. (Also if you haven’t heard her mom Francine Perry’s testimony in episode #14 my Thanksgiving special, please do, her perspective as a mom watching Laura be transformed and going through her own transformation is powerful and blessed this mama’s heart!) Listening to Laura reminds us that our God is able to move in the heart of our prodigal like He did in Laura’s. Get ready to be touched by the Holy Spirit and filled with hope and expectation! *This discussion is adult in nature due to the topic discussed and is not for children’s ears. * Laura Perry Smalt's Website: Transgender To Transformed | Find hope and freedom from gender dysphoria in Jesus! Laura Perry Smalt's Book: "Transgender to Transformed: A Story of Transition That Will Truly Set You Free Paperback" – June 15, 2019 Laura also co-wrote, “The Prodigal Prayer Guide,” with her mom Francine Perry and Carolyn Morgan. https://resources.afa.net/prodigal-prayer-guide
Have you ever wondered if all your thoughts are your own. Billy and I discuss what truth is and the daily spiritual warfare battle we face and how to defeat the enemy. In this conversation we mention resources written by Neil T. Anderson and from Freedom In Christ Ministry. The books we discuss are "Victory Over the Darkness," "The Bondage Breaker" and "Steps to Freedom In Christ." All are found here: freedominchrist.orgI'd also like to invite you to join me, and fellow Mama's of Prodigals for a 21 Day Time of Prayer and Fasting via Zoom. We'll be meeting every morning from 6:30-7:30 CST and using the Bible and the “Prodigal Prayer Guide,” written by Laura Perry and Francine Perry as our guide along with Moms in Prayer Sheets and whatever else the Holy Spirit leads me to use. If you feel led to join us, but you have health issue, please seek medical advice and get cleared to fast. I know some may desire to fast, but due to health issues fasting from food may not be possible, but fasting from social media, sugar, and dare I say coffee, and T.V. may be other options to discuss with our Heavenly Father. Let's seek Him and His will and directions for our set apart time. Blessings!
Our Heavenly Father wants to sanctify us into the image of His precious Son Jesus. It can be easy to overlook this truth in the midst of our difficult trials but let us press into Jesus the author and protector of our faith, not running from the trial but into the fire! I share details about my 21 Day Fasting & Prayer time coming up this coming New Year. Will you prayerfully consider joining me? We’ll be using this prayer guide during our prayer and fasting time. https://resources.afa.net/prodigal-prayer-guide
Today I'll share one takeaway from my conversation with Francine Perry. You'll also learn a little more about me and what the Father's teaching me on my journey in growth, renewal and healing. The title of this episode are words that can be heard in Saddleback Church's Worship song entitled, "I'm Coming Alive." https://youtu.be/OFbmmcb7vQs Sister, I feel like Jesus is calling me out of all the broken areas of my life into His marvelous light and I am coming alive! Hallelujah!For information about Freedom In Christ Ministries and Zoom classes they offer go to: https://www.freedominchrist.org
Watching our children wrestle in confusion about their identity and sexuality, running from their God given purpose and walking away from their faith in Jesus is so difficult for us mamas, especially during the holidays when there will be an empty chair at the table this year possibly because of our stand for Christ and His truth. Francine Perry shares her experience with us being a mom to a daughter who once struggled with gender dysphoria. She shares all that God did in her life and gives us hope to keep praying and seeking Jesus and growing in our faith in Him. This conversation will encourage you even if you don’t have a prodigal. Happy Thanksgiving Sister. I am thankful for you and each and every listener. May our God be praised! This is the book mentioned in this episode that I use periodically during our prayer time together in this podcast. “The Prodigal Prayer Guide,” by Laura Perry, Francine Perry and Carolyn Morgan Francine's Bible Study classes can be watched here: Come Grow With Me: comegrowwithmeonline.com
Revelation 12:11a is a powerful reminder of how our testimony coupled with the blood of the Lamb defeats the enemy. Who can you share your testimony with?
In this episode I’m encouraging you, my precious sister to not loose heart and to keep praying in faith, using God’s word as your guide along with His promises for your prodigal. Let’s also lift up the influencers of the trans & homosexual agenda in fervent prayer to experience Christ, be saved, redeeemed and be a testimony of God’s wonder working power! In Revelation 12:11a it says, “And they overcame him (satan) by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony….”
Today I share with you how our Heavenly Father encouraged me to not loose hope, but instead to keep praying more fervently for my prodigals, and see the trials I am facing as opportunities for growth and refining. They are also to remind me that I am honored to be suffering for Christ, and to lean into the trials in the hope that I will be given the strength to endure, and be a light and an encouragement to the Body of Christ.
I can't wait for you to hear our brother in Christ, Billy's amazing testimony! He lived as a trans female for 7 years until the unconditional love of the Body of Christ and God's word set him free! In this conversation Billy will share the transforming power of Jesus and how he is living free from false beliefs and gender confusion. *Note this episode is adult in nature due to the topic and not recommended for children's ears. *
Our Heavenly Father has given us everything we need to pull down strongholds in our life, our prodigals, and the lives of our family members. In this episode I refer to the books, "Winning Spiritual Warfare, Steps to Freedom in Christ," written be Neil T. Anderson and, "Pulling Down Strongholds, " by Derek Prince. This is a powerful episode where we use what I gleaned from Derek Prince, and we agree in prayer using the principles in this book to pray for our prodigals.
In this episode I will share with you the Holy Spirit's revelation in why He led me to call my podcast, "Far Above." My hope is that you will be encouraged that our prayers as mamas have power in the heavenly realm and are defeating the enemy and his grip on our prodigal. Don't stop praying sister and don't stop believing that your prayers are making a difference! The prayer I lead you in today is from this book, Prayers That Avail Much: 25th Anniversary Gift Edition: Germaine Copeland: 9781577947523 - Christianbook.com found on pages, 372-373.
We all have good days and down days. Today I'll share with you why for the past few days I have been low and struggling. I hope this episode encourages you and that you know you aren't facing these trials alone. I'm on this journey right there with you sister and I love you! Oh what a blessing to be in the family of God!
Our Heavenly Father is crazy in love with us. My hope is today I can encourage you as we wait on the Lord, soak in His presence and love for us. Some days can be hard for us, especially when our hopes are dashed and our dreams for our prodigals aren't lived out. Join me as we remind ourselves who we are in Christ and pray for our prodigals return.
One of my dear sisters in the Lord sent me a prayer request that the Holy Spirit used to prompt me to publish this midweek episode. My sisters distress brought to mind Nehamiah and his distress. My hope is to encourage us as we seek Jehovah’s face and keep our mind fixed on Him and not our disappointing situation or prodigal.
Join me as I give you a glimpse into what the Lord showed me during my second personal, "Kerith Ravine." In my time away I was reminded of a powerful prayer that I will share with you. In these two teachings by Dutch Sheets entitled, "Praying for the Lost," part 1 and 2 we will focus our prayer time on 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 and join in one accord prayer for our prodigals.
