The Marla Lucas Podcast

Today is a chat about Phil 4:13. There is even scientific evidence that the hard things are actually good for us! Be strong in the "rain" knowing victory is coming! 

Thanking God today for all of the answers we DON'T have. His ways are far beyond ours and that's a beautiful and peaceful way to live. There's no need to try and figure it all out. He already has. Don't waste another minute fretting, let's start with praise and watch how His plan unfolds. Thank you Lord!

Super great news today! A promise, straight from God, to get your song back and NEVER have to run from the enemy again! Get ready to be inspired and challenged to take your life back...in the name of Jesus.

Not just any trial...today we are addressing the FIERY TRIALS. Be encouraged friend, rejoice and be glad, His glory is going to be revealed! It's about to get good! Keep your focus and prepare for victory!

Today we address Mark 4:17 where Jesus tells us how to sing in the rain. We need DEEP ROOTS. A favorite quote is, "The deep roots never doubt that spring will come." It's a good day to evaluate our roots. Will we withstand the harsh winds, the tribulations? Deep roots will guarantee you will be just fine. Let's grow deep in God today!

2 Cor 1:3-4 has two reminders for us today! God is right there to comfort you and heal your broken heart and prepare to share His comfort. We must take the time to let Him come in and heal all the broken pieces. He loves to comfort and restore. Thank you Lord for your Word that shows us how to sing in the rain!

Is it raining in your world right now? We're not talking the sweet sprinkle that waters your flowers, we're talking about a torrential downpour that leaves you dumbfounded and feeling hopeless. Paul gave us a great example of singin' in the rain. Today we're gonna follow Paul's example and watch God change our hearts as we speak life and hope to those He's put on our path!

Today we are CHOOSING to sing in the rain. We have a special verse we will stand on. We will pray this verse and watch God fulfill every part of the verse in our lives. It's a beautiful day to sing in the rain. Whatever you are facing choose to sing today!

Have you been betrayed? Marla shares the details of one of her favorite men of the Bible. He wasn't just betrayed once, not even twice, he was betrayed over and over again. God shows us in His Word how to deal with it, what to do, how to navigate it...and come out strong on the other side. Thank you God for the story of Joseph. May it stengthen you today and equip you with supernatural joy in the...

Lead In Springy Steps...taking a leadership role in your life. Marla has a specific challenge for you today! Today is our last episode in our series on "A Spring In Your Step" and we are now taking on a leadership role. We will lead others and demonstrate to others, a life filled with joy and strength! Amen! Take the LEAD my friend!

Are You Consuming "Springy" Things? A little challenge on this episode...do you need to make some hard decisions and get the spring back in your step? Marla is excited to share FOUR areas of life you can evaluate and immediately win your life back! Get ready! It's gonna be good!

Spring is a wonderful time to hit the RESET button in your home. Spring cleaning is a thing. Clearing the clutter in your home (and car) will put a "spring in your step"! Take a few minutes a day, set a timer, make it fun! Get your spring back by clearing the clutter!

Keeping a "spring in your step" requires courage...because every day isn't perfect. Sometimes you go through hard things that require you to be obedient and resolve to be courageous. Marla shares that she allows herself a moment to grieve and then asks God for courage and He strengthens. Walk courageously and you will never lose your footing. 

Marla is sharing key decisions that you must make in order to have a "Spring In Your Step!" Not only will you be a joy to be around, you will experience true joy. Today's episode is all about EXCITEMENT! We're "excited" for you to listen in!

This episode challenges us all to follow God's Word and put away childish ways. God shows us what that looks like. These verses are a call to course-correct. A call to step-up, make the necessary changes to walk in victory, overcoming every childish way. Thank you God for spurring us to be more like You!

It all starts with HOPE! Lead in hope. God is going to fill your heart with peace and joy! Marla explains how hope abides…and miracles take place! Enjoy this episode and get your “spring” back! 

The Lord knew we would have questions. He knew it wouldn't all make sense to us. He explained that what we know now is like looking through a foggy (dim) mirror but one day we will know PERFECTLY. We will know FULLY. Until then, may we enjoy a supernatural peace as we trust the Lord with every part of our journey.

This episode challenges us all to follow God's Word and put away childish ways. God shows us what that looks like. These verses are a call to course-correct. A call to step-up, make the necessary changes to walk in victory, overcoming every childish way. Thank you God for spurring us to be more like You!

Love wins every time. God spoke this truth for us to know that love, if you push through, wins every time. Wow. What an incredible promise. Love does not fail. It never tells how long we will need to push through but it does tell us...eventually love will win. Praying for wisdom for everyone in a season of deciding to keep loving or not. There are promises and blessing on the other side of this se...

I Cor 13:7 reminds us of the MORE CHALLENGING side of love! Be a champion for love! God is reminding us there will be days that love is not glamorous…but always beautiful. Keep loving. Obey God even when it’s hard and you will reap a harvest of blessing!

Love does not rejoice at someone else's adversity or blunders. Love rejoices in truth. There will be many opportunities to help the people God brings on your path. To be love to them in the face of a great personal disappointment, is agape love. Compassionate toward them in their darkest hour is love. Today's episode will inspire you to walk in love and leave judgement to the Lord. 

Ope. This one might be a challenge. Marla shares the Word regarding another facet of love. God shows us the true definition of love. This message will challenge the funny names and excuses we make for not growing. Ask God to help you grow in these things. He will give you opportunities to change your usual responses. Opportunities to make a new name for yourself. God please help us to be known for...

Marla shares a little different perspective on verses 3 and 4 in Corinthians. Praying you are inspired and grateful for all of the blessings in your life. Never envying anyone, including their relationships. Lord let this month of LOVE inspire us to grow in our own love, exemplifying more of you, Lord. Amen.

Agape love. Selfless love. Marla shares God is love and love is orderly. Love has rules. Love has consequences. It's all still love. Our culture, the enemy, is on a mission to distort love. May today's podcast encourage us all to have love, the way God describes it.

Starting the "Month of Love" off right...asking God for help. Speaking to people with an undercurrent of love, this is how we are heard. God gave us the answer, how to communicate to win. It must be done in love. Be prepared to put what we learn into practice. God has a funny way of providing opportunity to make sure we understand exactly what He means. We will pass this test in the name of Jesus.
