Break It Down - Natalie Style

In this episode I share from Ezekiel 36:26-28 Heart Transplant. God desires to GIVE you his heart for yours. Did you know that many heart transplant donors will take on the personality, hobbies and food cravings like the donor of the heart had?!? What IF we did that with God? When God says to take your stony heart for his TENDER and LOVING heart - we could then REFLECT HIM ! Today, I pray this mes...

In this episode I share from… Luke 6:43-49 and Titus 1:15-16 We can SAY Jesus is king of our life, but our ACTIONS SHOW it. Jesus speaks to the crowd about you will KNOW if they are rooted in me by the FRUIT of their life and the foundation they built IN me. Good trees produce good fruit. Bad trees produce rotten fruit. Your FRUIT in your life determines where your HEART is rooted in. In Titus he...

In this episode I share from the Old Testament and the New! 2 Kings 3:16-21 Matthew 9:17 Digging and Dying. The capacity YOU give God will determine the amount of provision HE can give. This hit me. In 2 Kings 3 the prophet told them to dig ditches in the desert because God was going to provide rain. He didn’t say the amount or size. Just dig in FAITH for what God is bringing! However many ditches...

Matthew 13:44-45, 52 Proverbs 3:1-8 Parable of the TREASURE the man found HIDDEN in the field. The Kingdom of Heaven Jesus refers to is NOT a place. He’s not talking about HEAVEN in this parable.

Led the Israelites out of slavery to the Promise Land 40 years. 40 years God prepared Moses in the fields as a shepherd to LEAD thousands out of slavery! 40 years HIDDEN . Literally. Moses fled to Midian to HIDE himself from Pharaoh after murdering an Egyptian. This hidden sea...

In this episode I share from Numbers 22 If you’ve not read this story…it’s cray cray! God uses a donkey to SPEAK to Balaam!

Daily having God check my heart and correct my motives . Speak what God has through me fo...

In this episode I share from Galatians 5:1-3, 13-18 Our flesh and spirit are constantly at WAR with each other. What God desires for our lives and what we THINK we want for our lives are entangled. To ALIGN our hearts with God and STAY FREE in our lives with Him - we must DIE - KILL our fleshly nature. God wants to FILL you UP in HIM so ALL of HIM pours OUT ! I share in this episode a dream I had...

In this episode I share from Job 6:10-14 & Job 42 In the MIDDLE . It’s in the middle on our pain, frustration and anger that we have to make a CHOICE . Choosing to FIX our eyes on the circumstances or on our GOD who KNOWS ALL about us and our circumstance. Job who lost everything in ONE day NEVER denies or loses his faith in God. “ At least I can take comfort in this; despite my pain I have not de...

In this episode I share Isaiah 30:21 You will hear a voice from behind you saying, “This is the WAY you should go.

Have you counted the cost? Are you...

In this episode I share from Romans 12:1-2 Our will power runs OUT . A life surrendered to Gods WILL …that WILL POWER NEVER RUNS OUT! I heard about study done on two groups of people - one resisting cookies and the other group told to eat as many as they wanted. The study was fascinating about how human will power is SHORT FUSED ! We NEED Gods willpower in our life to SLAY EVERY giant and CRUSH ev...

In this episode I share from Acts 20:16-32 Paul KNOWING he will probably face imprisonment and suffering for sharing the TRUTH of Jesus - he NEVER waivers or draws back. He perseveres through every trial and has full confidence that he has and WILL finish the assignment God has placed on his life with diligence.

In this episode I share from Jeremiah 9:23-24 What REALLY matters? It’s not temporal things like success, money, fame and knowledge. It’s KNOWING God intimately and ACTING on it DAILY .

In this episode I share from 1 Corinthians 11:1 and John 14:1-7 Paul boldly and confidently tells the church to FOLLOW his example because he is following Jesus .

How we take care of our bodies, being a spouse, parent, friend, in busine...

In this episode I share from 2 Corinthians 2:10-17 Paul is writing to the church about forgiving a man that caused severe damage in the church. He shares about the fragrance we must give off - the fragrance of Jesus. We BLOCK this aroma with bitterness, unforgiveness, anger, jealousy and pride. Our aroma is either life-giving or draining those around us. What fragrance do you give off in your life...

In this episode I go DEEP! I read from Acts 13:1-12 Paul and Barnabas are great leaders in the church, God speaks to them and the church that God is setting them apart for a GREATER MISSION. They fast and pray over the men and immediately are sent OUT to share the gospel! They encounter a sorcerer and Paul with the power of the Holy Spirit speaks BOLDLY and causes the man to go blind! This act the...

In this episode I share from 2 Corinthians 10:5-6 “ We destroy, demolish arguments and EVERY pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God. We take captive EVERY thought, idea and make it obedient to Christ.” This morning God hit my heart with… Take CAPTIVE EVERY THOUGHT! Captive like a prisoner of war. Demanding every thought in submission to the authority of God. Daily disciplining...

In this episode I share from Nehemiah 6:1-16 God asked Nehemiah to build a wall - his enemies did NOT want this. They used intimidation, false accusations and lies to get Nehemiah to QUIT .

Godly discernment is knowing what’s RIGHT and ALMOST...
