As We End the God’s Timing Series. . . We go over Part 1 & 2. We Learn The Six Steps we need while waiting, & understanding God’s Timing. Scriptures covered: Romans 8:28; Habakkuk 2:1-3; Luke 5:1-11; Bonus-Mark 2:1-12
Romans 8:28; Habakkuk 2:3; Psalms 31:5; Isaiah 60:22; Acts 9. God’s Timing, isn’t Our Timing. . .
1 Corinthians 9:24-27 James 4:4 2 Timothy 2:5 James 1:12. You Cannot Win Your Race, reacting (in the flesh) to every issue that arises in your life!
God’s Timing comes from the Greek word Kairos ( Ky-rose) which means an occasion, set or proper time; always opportunity, season time, awhile.
Webster dictionary says: in a nut shell Love is: to feel affection or experience desire! But He word allows us to understand, comprehend that “LOVE” is not an emotion, but rather an Action. There is a worldly saying “You can’t help whom you love”! I’ve in-fact discovered from God’s very word that, You Can Help, We Choose To Love! BecauseWhen we Know Who God is in our Lives, and Who we are to God we choose Love from a place of wholeness, peace, understanding, faith & Trust. . . As John 3:16 tells us: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. We Learn to Then Love How God Loves us! I Pray That We All Experience Love As God would have us, Not as The World Loves, which is conditional, selfish, fleeting, bartering, self serving, and even can be hurtful to the core of who we are. But to Love as God Loves, with no conditions, forgiving, trusting God, that God will finish what He started in “ALL of US”! Amen

Our Last Podcast Episode of Season 2
Forgiveness Pt. 3
Psalms 34:18
“The LORD is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those
whose spirits are crushed.
Psalms 51:17-18
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God,
thou wilt not despise. 18 Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build
thou the walls of Jerusalem.
Philippians 4:11-13
I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things am
instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. 13 I can do all things
through Christ which strengtheneth me.
Forgiveness Pt. 2
Matthew 11:12
Jesus’ statement that the kingdom of God suffers violence is found in the context of His commendation of John the Baptist: “And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force” .
Context:
“From the days of John the Baptist until now,” there has been an extraordinary rush of people pressing in from all sides, eager for a blessing. The “kingdom of heaven suffers violence,” figuratively speaking, in that people were so thronging to hear the gospel that they resembled an army trying to besiege a city. And the “violent take it by force”; the people entering the kingdom were not violent literally, but their eagerness to see the coming of the Messiah was so overwhelming that it was as if they were attacking a city and beating down the doors to enter.
Jesus’ statement that “the kingdom of heaven suffers violence” is a graphic picture of the enthusiasm and excitement generated by John the Baptist’s and Jesus’ teaching. People were hungry for the truth and would not be kept away. For centuries, God’s prophets had predicted the Messiah’s coming, and now that the Messiah was here, nothing could hold back the flood of people pressing into the kingdom. We see some of this fervor in Luke 5:18–19, when some men literally tore through a roof to get to Jesus, and in John 6:15, when a crowd “intended to come and make him king by force.” ( Got Questions.org; Questions about Matthew )
How Is "Forgiveness" Showing Up In Your Life?
Hebrews 8:12
For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.
Isaiah 43:18-19
Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.
Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it?
I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
Ephesians 4:31-32
Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you,
with all malice:And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for
Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
Power of Prayer: Submission Pt. 2
James 4
Submit Yourselves To God . . .
When we submit to God's will for our lives, "In All Areas", Life becomes better to navigate.
We can stop carrying 'All" the issues that easily weigh us down, and give them to God!
Submissions doesn't mean we have no choices, It means we take accountability to make a conscious
choice to line up with God's will for our life. Willingly, & knowingly putting the things that cause us undo stress
in our Fathers hands. And asking Him to show us the way!
Submission Prayer
Accepting and Yielding to the Will & Authority of God for You Life!
Ephesians 5:22-24
James 4:7
Submission ( Concordance Definition) - to subject oneself, to obey. . .
In Greek :"Submission" is "Hypotasso" (pronounced hoop-ot-as-so)- to put in order; to station
Oxford Language Submission- the action or fact of accepting or yielding to a superior force or to
the will or authority of another person.

What's Pride Got to Do With It?
When we lean into our works and our needs over what Christ is doing for us, and how He's working things out for our good.
We find ourselves taking God's place instead of walking in the position that was created for us.
Now we are looking to ourselves instead of God! We put ourselves in stressful situations, and at times cause ourselves to be hurt or angry!
Because we are expecting recognition, understanding, or respect from the wrong sources, worldly sources & entities. Instead of truly working, living, relating, & understanding from a place of humility. God gives us "ALL" we need! Not just reward, but provision, not just provision but, understanding, validation, Love, and Grace & Mercy that is new each day!
Those things: Man/Woman, Organizations, Jobs, Friends, the world " CAN NEVER SUPPLY"!!!
Proverbs 11:2
Proverbs 16:5
Proverbs 16:18
*Wisdom to Chew on: Psalms 75:4
Genesis 13
Abram & Lot Separate. . .
They separated because they both had so much, that they servants (herdsman) were starting to argue & fight with each other. Abram knew he did not want to have animosity with Lot, so Abram suggested they separate. Abram "Let Go of The Dead Weight"! There was only so far Abram could go with Lot. In order to go further, the way God wanted, was to go in the opposite direction of Lot. Once Abram did, God showed him about staying Humble, walking in humility!
When Lot & Abram first separated, Abram first pitched his tent in Canaan.
Hebrew Meaning of Canaan- Lowland. Derived from the root word Kana, meaning-Humble
When Lot & Abram first separated, Lot pitched his tent near the city of Sodom.
Hebrew Meaning of Sodom- Scorched. Derived from an unused word word meaning burnt or burning.
a place near the "Dead Sea" it's called the dead sea because of the odor of rotten eggs, & the fact that the sea
produces 8.3 times more salt than Ocean water. Leaving no fish, mammal, no plant life could live in it!
When God moved Abram on, He moved him to dwell in Mamre- meaning Strength or Fatness.
RESPECT THE UNEXPECTED!!!
James 4:13-14
John 13:13
We often want to tell God our plans, what we want. What we need and how He should do this or that.
According to how we feel it should be done. We have to learn respect for God's process! We need to learn how to line
our plans with God's will for our lives! We spend so much time living life selfishly for ourselves, taking no account for
Christ sacrifice for our lives.
Do You?
2 Timothy 3:16
1 Timothy 1:9-10
This means that even though you've received Christ, you don't really have a relationship with Christ.
Because you wish for Christ to only deal with the things, people and/or parts of your life that you want dealt with!
Rather than surrendering to God and allowing Him to make the changes necessary for us to become you our Abba, Father
intends for us to be.
We must give God all of us, more time, read our word more, connect more with one another, and
practice loving one another as God instructed us!
What will you decide to do? You or Live God's Way?
Acts 27:25 (Please Read The Whole Chapter for Context)
We find Paul has been falsely arrested in Jerusalem; and has been handed over to the Romans.
Now, the Romans wanted to release Paul, but the Jews in Jerusalem objected. So Paul is now boarding
a ship (276 people in total) sailing to Rome, to plead his case to Cesar. Paul advises the Centurion, & soldiers
that they should not sail at this time. They were choosing to sail during the "Day of Atonement" when Jews fast, it was
around the 7 month that we call October, and is not good for navigation nor sailing! As they chose to proceed without heeding
the warning from Paul and proceeding without caution. They find themselves in a violent storm, leading them to toss everything they
would need overboard!
Have you ever found yourself in a storm?
How did you get there? Is it because you didn't listen, to the warnings?
Or was it involuntary? How'd you face it? In fear, panic, or worry? Or did you believe God's word, that you'd get through it?
Who Are We Serving?
Are We Serving our own will or God's?
Are we consumed and/or distracted our wants, rather than what God wants for us?
How much are we connecting to the source? Or are we connecting to everything outside the source?
Scriptures:
Mark 8:36; Ephesians 5:21
1 Corinthians 10:13; Hebrews 12:1-2
Colossians 3:2
1 Thessalonians 5
Emphasis: 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
Be cheerful no matter what; 17 pray all the time;
thank God no matter what happens. This is the way God
wants you who belong to Christ Jesus to live.
We have all experienced hard times, distractions, failures, issues, mental instability or inability at times. We have all had one thing or another to set-us back, rather than move us forward. But yet we pushed through "NO MATTER WHAT"!!!
My Question Is: Will you push through for your relationship with God, No Matter What?
The "Softness" of, A Woman of God!1 Timothy 2:11-15Our we as woman strong enough to trust God in the role he has created us to flourish in? Do we understand that our softness, is our strength? Do you know that there is purpose in being the neck, our spouse and/or future spouse being the head?Cross Reference Scriptures:1 Peter 3:8-9; Proverbs 15:4Titus 2:3-5; Proverbs 18:21;
Book of Esther
Something's Gotta Give!
In this episode we reveal the Flavor, the Savor, & The Favor of the text, in the Book of Esther. . . We are reveling in the goodness of God in the land of the living ( I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.) Psalms 27:13
In this episode, we find ourselves in chapters 6-7 as we see Haman (meaning=Magnificent; Chief Min. of King Ahasuerus) fall victim to his own plot to destroy Mordecai (meaning="little man"; a Jew who returned from exile with Zerubbabel)
The Magnificent vs. The Little Man! Yet God prevailed over all that set out to destroy His People! You are God's people, and God will not allow the plots of man, corporations, nor sector groups to tear down or destroy what He is Building! Their same plot against you shall be against them! Amen!!!
Psalms 27:13 I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
Do not give up! Keep Listening to God!!!
Book of Esther
Something's Gotta Give!
We finish out the Women In The Bible series, in the last chapters of the Book of Esther! Chapters 8-10 and we find that what the world meant for bad, God turns for the Jews good!
How much then will God do for us?
Mordecai is victorious over his enemies, and the enemy of the Jews. Queen Esther listen's and finds favor, strength, and power in God! She stops believing she is insignificant, and starts to see herself as God sees her! She wields the power of God as He instructs, instead of how her feelings lead! An gains All Power from God! To speak, walk, and command as God shows her!
Life Application: You truly can do all things through Christ that Strengthen you, but not if "YOU", yourself don't believe it! Fasting & Prayer allows us to hear, see & taste that the Lord is in fact God to us and For Us!
Pray and ask God to show you how to fast, what to fast for, and how long you should fast. WRITE IT DOWN! Always have a notebook, journal, etc. during your fast, in order to put into writing what you hear and see!
Read: 1 John 4:6 to understand what has gone forth is from Christ Our Savior & Not me!
Book of Esther

Queen Esther
Something's Gotta Give!
In the is episode we dive into Chapters 4-5. . .
Mordecai (Esther's Father/Cousin) has been spotted by Queen Esther's servants and maids in sackcloth and ashes. Seeing this they have gone back to inform the Queen that her father is in mourning. Esther then has her servants take clothes to her father, who refuses to wear them. As such causing Esther great stress, she sends the King's servant to Mordecai to find out what has caused him to mourn?
QUEEN ESTHER
Something's Gotta Give!
We continue with Esther Chapt. 1 into chapter's 2-3, with Esther being crowned queen! Mordecai discovering a plot to kill King Ahasuerus, informing Esther and the King being pleased with Esther. The King also appoints Haman to a high position over the princes, and decrees it throughout the provinces. As all pay homage to Haman for being promoted to this position, Mordecai refuses to bow to Haman, which in turn angers him, and Haman sets out to destroy all of the Jews! Having the King send the decree of their deaths to all the provinces, noting the day & time it shall occur.
SOMETHING'S GOTTA GIVE!
ESTHER 1
In Esther we find the King getting ready for a 180 celebration to honor him and all the men of Royalty, from 27 provinces (India - Ethiopia) have been invited. The Queen Vashti is also having a celebration in her own honor at the King's Palace for all the women of Royalty as well.
When the King calls on Vashti to show off her beauty to his people, Vashti refuses! Thus setting a course that will not just effect her but all the kingdom the King rules over.
The beginning of this story set's the tone to what will come next! How can you or how will you relate?
There is No Shame Your in The Truth!!!
John 4
In The Chapter we find Jesus speaking to a woman about thirst & truth. After He has just come from explaining the same to Nicodemus in John chapter 3. Now God is revealing in these stories of people, Himself to us, how He operates with us, how we can use His word and apply to our Lives!

Being Me In Every Season. . .
Longing for what was, gives you no hope for the future! You have to make up your mind, not go back from where you came. You must say to yourself I'm pushing forward to what God has for me, no matter my present circumstances! I wont be afraid, because Christ meant for me to move ahead in Him, and not backwards.
Joshua 2
Rahab when presented with a chance to Chose life, she take it! Not only for herself but also, for her family. Rahab being known as a harlot and/or modern day prostitute, didn't allow that from choosing God over the flesh. It didn't stop her from leaving who she use to be in the past and choose a new life, In Christ Jesus!
Reference Scripture - Exodus 12:22-28; We find that God is showing us who He is and how he operates. He gives specific instructions on how to survive when death is all around us!
Joshua 2
Rahab chose life over death, when asked by the two spies, "What she wanted"? She asked for her and her family to be spared. She had heard of what their God (Our Lord and Savior) had done for them, freeing them from Pharaoh, and destroying the Amorites. She knew their God was the "The God in Heaven above and on the earth (v.11).
Job 11:13-20
In the text we find Job receiving advice from Zophar. Zophar, is telling Job how to remedy his present situation. But he is doing it from a place of "Judgement" and "Ego" (Edging God Out)!

If You Do Not Know Jesus Christ As Your Personal Lord & Savior,
Say this prayer out loud right now:
"Dear God, I want to be a part of your family. You said in Your Word that if I acknowledge that You raised Jesus from the dead, and that I accept Him in my heart as my Lord and Savior, I would be saved. God, I now say that I believe You raised Jesus from the dead, that He rose on the third day, and that He is alive and well. I accept Him now as my personal Lord and Savior. I accept my salvation from sin right now.
I am now saved. Jesus is my Lord. Jesus is my Savior. Thank you, Father God, for forgiving me, saving me, and giving me eternal life with You. Amen!"
