It's The BreakDown Podcast w/ D. Malone

Our lives go in the direction of our choices. God has given us free will that we would freely choose Him. We can choose between blessings and a curse.

God wants us to be free of double mindedness. Be sturdy in our faith in Him. Without faith it is impossible to please God. Sometimes we don’t get what we prayed for because we did not have enough faith in Him.

Discussing the lie that we alone in our own power can free ourselves from bondage. We need the help of our Savior. It starts with knowing we need Him, then asking Him for help and believing He will and is helping us. Romans 7:21-25 NLT Romans 8:1-4 NLT Romans 8:9 NLT Romans 7:5-6 NLT Ephesians 2:2-3 NLT

We don’t have to live tied to our past disappointments, rejections, bitterness, bad habits. We have been set free but, we must believe that we are free. We can choose freedom. We are healed but we must believe. John 8:36 NLT John 10:10 NLT Proverbs 3:5 NLT

Good Morning Breakers!!! How we handle our Emotions determines the direction in which we go. It determines the course of our days and ultimately our lives.

Today’s lesson is “Emotions Motion” Be blessed but more importantly be a blessing. Proverb...

Job 23:10-14 NLT Proverbs 17:3 NLT We go through tests so we can be refined if we allow ourselves to go through it, we will come out pure as gold.

In this parable of the Three Servants,  the master had left his money in increments to each servant. One was given five, another two, and, the last only one bag and yet the last one was the only to bury his bag. The master gave each according to their abilities and God has done the same with us. Some of us like the one servant have buried our treasure out of fear of being wrong and or punishe...

In order to shine brightly for Christ we must have the attitude of Christ. We may have to go through an attitude adjustment. Philippians 2:6-8 NLT 

Paul tells us in Philippians 2;12-16 NLT that we are to shine brightly for Christ. He even tells us how to do so. God wants us to know that it's time to shine for Him that way we draw all men unto Him. The times of dimming the light in us are gone. New day! We Shining bright like the Son!!

Some of us know this to be slang for how we're doing, how's life but, also what's up with our behavior. Well, I believe God is asking us "How you Livin?" not because He doesn't know but to bring it to our attention and to alert us that He's looking. We are called to model our lives after Christ. Put away our old selves, let it die and live new. Live separated from how the world lives, live holy. W...

The Baby food Company Gerber has what they call "The Grow Up Plan" and so does God. God wants us to mature in our faith and walk with Him as believers. He wants us off the spiritual milk and on to solid food. We can utilize our spiritual gifts as a babe in Christ because we won't know how nor will we be able to acknowledge. To grow it takes us staying connected to God, we are to put away childish...

The ten spies came back with a report contrary to the two and it caused the children of Israel to rebel against God. They saw themselves as grasshoppers and the people of Canaan as gia...

As we look at this passage in Numbers 13:17-33 NIV we are reminded that our vision plays huge part in what we do. 12 spies went into he land to explore it before they inhabited it but, 10 of those spies saw themselves as grasshoppers and defeated. The 2 saw the power they had within and saw themselves as victorious. Our vision affects how we see God, ourselves, our situation and others. In our liv...

Who we are as a friend and who have as friends is important to our destiny. This story here in Mark 2;2-5, 10-12 shows us just that.

The Bible talks about friends a good deal. I found and studied 19 Scriptures all about friendship. We learn about our  most important friend Jesus. John 15:9-17 NLT There’s a song that came to mind . What a friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and grief to bear what a privilege to carry all our sins to God in prayer. Jesus calls us His friends and that’s a beautiful thing nothing t...

God wants us to know that He is our friend and we are to make and be friends. John 15:12-17 NLT

He would fill the void in the audience to...

And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation.

Nehemiah 4:8 NLT You ever feel like you’re in a cloud of confusion. Trying to figure out some things. Feel like you’re getting attacked from every angle. You fight one battle then BOOM! Here comes one more. Seems like so much chaos and craziness happening, and you feel like you’re losing your fight? Can I offer some insight on it all? See, there is a tactic of spiritual warfare that our very real...

James 4:8 NKJV Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners and purify your hearts ye double minded. Some Context: So God says come close to God and wash your hands, purify your hearts, for your loyalty is divided. the Scriptures before this is telling us that we can’t be friends with the world and be friends with God. That makes us God’s enemy.  Reason being...
