This is a devotional and prayer podcast meant to inspire and encourage you with a positive word as you go through your day. It is a balance of information and inspiration helping you to add routine and structure to your life.
In this episode, we discuss putting effort into training and preparation in all areas so when the fight comes we are prepared and ready for the challenges and the jabs of life that come our way. The more we give up and quit, the easier it is to quit; but, the more we prepare we are ready for whatever comes our way. May this episode provide you with encouragment and tools to help you prepare and build yourself to fight and stand up against the obstacles that strike us in life.
In this episode we discuss envy and jealousy and how they are each counterproductive and fruitless. We discuss building relationships based on supporting each other, helping each other and celebrating each other’s victories. Tearing each other down, comparing ourselves, and highlighting another’s losses only hinders us further and sets us back. By allowing jealousy and envy to creep, we allow self pity and that “it’s not fair” attitude to live in us. May this episode encourage and inspire you.
In this episode we discuss self awareness, to be aware of ourselves. Do we know ourself? Do we know understand ourself? Do we look inside of ourself? When we don’t understand ourself, it brings disconnection within our self but also in our relationship with God. With good self awareness, we are able to walk our road and run our race. If we look more in ourselves instead of outside at others, we will be better aware of our strength and weaknesses and better compliment ourself, the Lord, and others around us. May this episode encourage you to be look inside and know your strength so you may walk fully in it and be at one with God and thy self.
In this episode, we discuss the power of a sound mind. Having a sound mind is power, it places us on a fruitful path. Our hearts give birth and the vehicle that delivers it is our minds. The mind is in our control. God gives us the spirit of a sound mind but we decide what mind we embrace - double, sound, or chaotic. May this episode encourage and motivate you to walk in a sound mind.
In this episode, we discuss the power to change ourselves and the inability to change others. So often we try to change others or press our beliefs onto them and so often it’s a fruitless undertaking. For we only have the power to change ourselves. Every day we are given opportunities. An opportunity to be a better person today than we were yesterday. And tomorrow we can be better than we are today. Instead of telling someone to change, first look at their pain and where they are coming from. May you listen to this episode and be touched and encouraged to change our approach with inner ourselves and others.
In this episode, we discuss the importance of having goals and a vision. Setting goals gives us a roadmap, a plan to follow to get us to our visions and help us live in our purpose. It is our goals that take us through the steps toward our vision and purpose. May you be encouraged to set your goals and recognize your vision in this episode. If you don’t know what they are, look into yourself. Your purpose will move you, take you to greater places in your life. It is close to your heart.
In this episode, we discuss pain. Pain with purpose verse pain without purpose. And the power of calling on the Lord when in pain. To kick against the pricks, doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result is pain without purpose. It is fruitless. But, to live in purpose is fruitful and a blessing in our lives. A blessing that allows us to be all we are meant to be and allow us to live in purpose and in alignment with ourselves, the Lord and loved ones. May this episode motivate and inspire you to understand and overcome pain and rest in the Lord.
In this episode, we discuss balance, finding the balance of our lives - what we choose to give our lives to. Being out of balance causes a lot of issues in our lives. But with purpose and knowing what works in our lives, we can live balanced in all areas of our lives. May this episode encourage and inspire you to find your balance.
In this episode, we discuss understanding and knowing our purpose. When we know our purpose, we can live life motivated with intention. When we open our eyes in the morning with purpose and intention, we can make a difference and reach our goals. We can be of service to ourselves, the Lord, and others. May this episode encourage you to embrace and live your true purpose.
In this episode, we discuss who we are, who I am I am, who are you. It is important that we know our true identity. What defines us, what truly matters, who we are in the Lord… True identity lies inside of our hearts. Our identity lives within us and you cannot put your eyes on it in the physical realm. The Lord is the only one who really knows who we are. And, the sooner we know our identity and what defines us, the sooner we can be free to be. It doesn’t matter who accepts or rejects us, for who He says we are is far greater and more powerful. When we embrace and accept it, the world has no other choice but to also accept it. May this episode encourage you to hear and find who truly are.
In this episode, we discuss our Routines, Rituals, Processes and Practices. Having good rituals and processes in place is a blessing and a great benefit to us. We discuss how to set the tone for our days and reach our goals by completing a series of processes and practices we are committed to. May this episode encourage you to instill a series of small steps to move your mountain.
In this episode, we pray to the Lord asking Him for healing as we fight in our physical bodies and hearts. We ask Him to heal us from the tops of our heads to the soles of our feet. We ask the Lord-God to move through our temples, for man does not know the body as He Does. We ask the Lord to speak to us, to give us guidance so we may own and accept His healing and victory. May this prayer fill your hearts and lips repeatedly as you seek and pray for healing in yourself and others in the precious name of Jesus.
In this episode, we discuss the benefits of being proactive verse reactive. When we react out of emotions and feelings, we trigger ourselves to go off the rails. But if we start each day with our rituals and practices, such as giving thanks to the Lord and asking for guidance and direction, we are being proactive. We keep our inner selves whole and complete. We dictate to ourselves that we are going to plan and prepare. Unexpected things happen, our buttons are pushed, but we can do our best to prepare and have foresight. Allow our emotions and feelings to follow after, not us follow them.
In this episode, we pray to the Lord asking Him to remove stress, worry, anxiety, and fear from us. We ask for His comfort and peace in a time of difficulty or challenges. May we walk in faith and not by our emotions and worry. We call on His aide to help us to complete the tasks in front of us with focus and ease. May this prayer fill your hearts and lips with His comfort, direction, and love.
In this episode, we discuss how we get the power of choice. The Lord gives us the tree of love with it comes choice, the choice to choose on our own accord. A beautiful gift He has given us. He has given the choice to choose blessing and curses. Every day we have the choice of conflict or peace. We can choose the blessing of peace or choose to be in constant conflicts. Our relationships have to be on our own accord. Not based out of fear. We have to love on our own accord. We have to love the Lord on our own accord. See the big picture. Doing the right thing, living the right way because we understand the big picture. Don’t live out of fear but live on our own accord.
In this episode, we offer an evening prayer to turn on nightly. We ask the Lord to fill us with peace and rest in our hearts, in our minds and in our souls as we end our days. May you pray and be filled this prayer nightly.
In this episode, we discuss fear. The shift from fear to love. God did not call us to have anxiety or stress, but He has called us to have power and love. Do we get worried? Do we stress? Do we get anxiety? YES! Let’s discuss what is in our control and what is in God’s control. Let’s counter the fear. We encourage you to find your daily practices and routine, so you can help to remove the fear, stress, anxiety, and worry. Fear is powerful, but love is more powerful. Let's live and walk in the Power and Love from the Lord. May this episode fill your heart.
