In this episode, we are allowing Holy Spirit take root in our hearts and transform and renew our minds by taking out thoughts captive. Based on the common theoretical and therapeutic concept thought stopping from Cognitive Behavior Therapy which infers that thoughts, feelings and behavior are connected and one can only change behavior and actions through the stopping of thoughts. Well, God created this concept actually, not the therapeutic world and we are going to prove it through the word of God.

BE BOLD
Words whispered to me by the Holy Spirit during a very tumultuous time in. my life. These are words spoken to the earlier version of myself that cowers at the comments and actions of people in my past that validated personal insecurities that I should not and cannot be seen or heard. If you are in a season of life that requires boldness I pray this episode blesses you with wisdom and knowledge guided by Holy Spirit.
Psalm 138:3 (NKJV)
In the day when I cried out, You answered me, [And] made me bold [with] strength in my soul.
1 Thessalonians 2:2 (NKJV) But even after we had suffered before and were spitefully treated at Philippi, as you know, we were bold in our God to speak to you the gospel of God in much conflict.
“When pride comes, then comes shame; But with the humble is wisdom.”
Proverbs 11:2 NKJV
“Everyone proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord; Though they join forces, none will go unpunished.”
Proverbs 16:5 NKJV
“Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall.”
Proverbs 16:18 NKJV
“1 Thessalonians 2:4 (NKJV) But as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, even so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God who tests our hearts.
“Seek the Lord while He may be found, Call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake his way, And the unrighteous man his thoughts; Let him return to the Lord, And He will have mercy on him; And to our God, For He will abundantly pardon. “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts.”
Isaiah 55:6-9 NKJV

Part II of Seeking Kingdom Therapy!
Holy Spirit was heavy on my heart in pressing me to clarify God's plan in this world to ensure we are seeking Holy Spirit in direction for everything we do, including finding kingdom therapy.
In this episode we explore clarification in acknowledging that therapy is not for everyone in certain seasons of our lives or if ever and each of our relationships with God are individual AND unique. My prayer is you will truly spend personal time with God and seek your answers.

One of the things I have realized in my journey in building a deeper relationship with the Holy Spirit and gaining a better understanding of God's word is the work required from me as a believer to develop that relationship to strengthen my level of submission and obedience to Christ. It is a difficult process and sometimes I feel overwhelmed and confused which is the enemy's tired plan.
Holy Spirit has given me strategy as a solution and I want to share it called Daily Posture Practice based on Philippians 4:8-9. This is a series so bear with me as we walk through this scripture over the next couple of episodes! My prayer is this gives God glory and allows you to have a life filled with Holy Spirit, guiding you for a deeper relationship with our Father!

This episode was sparked from a conversation in community about finding a therapist when you are a Kingdom Kid and how difficult it is to do that in our world! I totally agree! For someone who has been a therapist in the past, I realize how worldly our training and schooling can be and it is difficult for believers to seek and find therapy that will freely allow the Holy Spirit to move. While this is the case I believe God is calling His warriors into the field of counseling and therapy and there are professionals out there who are following the word of God! I give some tips on how to seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit in this journey! Long story short...Ask your best friend the Holy Spirit! I pray these practical steps will lead and guide you especially when you are having a hard time getting to that healing place and need a little help!
"Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: for every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened."

While listening to my good sis Dr. Anita Phillips podcast In the Light, I was sparked to speak my random thoughts on feelings and processing my past interactions with others and how I can make adjustments to the manner in which I 1. identify and express my own feelings and 2. How I process and receive the feelings of others. Part of the healing process is accepting the allowances of the Holy Spirit to truly examine ourselves and seek God in all things, including our feelings and allow God to truly reveal his intentions. I pray this will spark thought in you as well and encourage you to explore and identify your feelings with God.

Foundation scripture: Deuteronomy 31:6
After revisiting this article I read a couple of years ago, I was pressed by God to reconsider what my purpose is when occupying space in my career path. I was lead to review what it has been like to operate in a faith minority status and how we should utilize spiritual discernment to gain clarity from the Holy Spirit through the use of God's Holy Word! We don't have to be disgruntled and struggling emotional, God has an answer for everything! Looking forward to walking with you in the light in every area of our lives!
Discernment
worldly definition- the ability to judge well
spiritual definition- more accurate and more in alignment with God the perception in the absence of judgment to obtain spiritual guidance and understanding

Think on these things: Attitudes, Action and Activities as pressed by God for us to consider when changing out thoughts, habits and behavior patterns to be more aligned with God's plan and purpose and to settle into His expectation of what a healed Child of God should look like according to His word.
Galatians 6: 4-6
4Each one should test their own actions. Then they can take pride in themselves alone, without comparing themselves to someone else, 5for each one should carry their own load. 6Nevertheless, the one who receives instruction in the word should share all good things with their instructor.
Remember this is not a therapy session, however you can most definitely journal and take this to your next therapy session what God reveals to you and what habits and thought patterns need to be shifted in order for you mind to be free and clear from the things of this world!

Grace: courteous goodwill.
Something that in the walk with Christ can only be understood and accepted in building a relationship with God!
In this episode we dig deep in to the processes of developing and building and recognizing that it won't always be as quick and fast a transformation we desire it to be. We go into His word to seek what He says and I encourage you to continue this process because it will implore you to personally ask God "How can I walk through this process WITH YOU God?"
I pray this will be a catalyst to you developing a stronger, deeper, more loving relationship with our Father! God Bless!
