Break It Down - Natalie Style

Wow ! This morning I got a WORD ! In this episode I share from Psalm 23. In verse 4 David says, “Even though I walk through the valley of the SHADOW of death I will not be afraid.” God showed me this morning that it’s in the shadows of our lives that trip us up! The enemy wants you to believe it’s DEATH and it’s actually just a SHADOW of death! It’s not REAL or TRUE ! What shadows do you have in y...

In this episode I share from Exodus 14:10-31 The Israelites are scared - the Egyptian army is coming after them escaping from slavery. They tell Moses they should have just stayed as slaves! Moses tells them to NOT be afraid and that God will fight FOR them! God tells Moses - NO YOU FIGHT . I will FIGHT through you, but you MUST make a MOVE ! This hit me today. The PATH was NOT clear. It was a wat...

In this episode I share from Ephesians 4:17-31 Take OFF the OLD and put on the NEW ! Your identity is FOUND when you MEET your CREATOR !

This morning I pray this message hits your heart deeply to know how much God L...

Merry CHRIST mas!!! In this episode I share from Matthew 2 This is a story about GOD DREAMS ! Jesus is born and his very life is in danger! Because of the wise men and Joseph being in tuned with God their dreams warned them of Jesus being killed. Joseph I dive in on - he gets multiple dreams of warnings, where to go and then where to leave! He has an awareness of his surroundings AND an ear to God...

In this episode on Christmas Eve I felt very led to share this message with you. Soul DEEP versus BLOOD . If some of your family members are toxic and bring negativity you are NOT obligated to be around them. In 1 Samuel 18:1-7 King Saul LOVES David and has his son Jonathan meet David. They become instant friends. Soul DEEP friendship. In 1 Samuel 19:1-8 Saul wants Jonathan to KILL David. If you r...

In this episode I share from Galatians 1:1-10 You can’t seek the world’s approval and Gods. They don’t coexist! Gods way and truth are the opposite of the world’s systems and living! As I’ve grown in my walk with God I’ve prayed for him to have my heart break for a CAUSE and NEED in this world. That I would bring CHANGE and SPEAK the TRUTH BOLDLY in whatever HE broke my heart for. I share about th...

FIRE ! Yup. This episode I am LIT ! I’m DONE with the enemies LIES and DECEITS ! I share from 1 Timothy 4 To be aware that FALSE teachings, LIES and DECEPTIVE spirits that will be CLOSE to looking like TRUTH . They will be say certain GOD made foods are bad. That NOT being married is fine, just live together, Do you, be whatever and do whatever you want! The DEVIL is after our KIDS . If he can sha...

In this episode I share from Psalm 119:105 & John 8:14-15 Gods WORD is a lamp to guide our feet AND LIGHT to our path. He IS LIGHT . We have direct ACCESS to be a LIGHT in this WORLD through HIM . This hit me last night as our family hiked 3 hours in the mountains in the PITCH DARK with headlamps! It was so dark and we HAD to rely on the light to see our EVERY step. Last night God showed me this i...

In this episode I share from 2 Corinthians 8:6-18 Finish what you STARTED with the SAME eagerness and ENTHUSIASM you began it with! This HIT me good today! Paul is writing to the church about GIVING . Being generous and continuing to have that same excitement to GIVE to others. As we close this year what are things, opportunities and GOALS you STARTED that you NEED to FINISH ? Pick it back up and...

In this episode I share from Matthew 23. It’s one of my favs cause Jesus is freaking pissed and speaks BOLDY to the religious leaders. He calls them out! I’m pretty sure when Jesus said, “You snakes! You sons of vipers!” He was cussing them out!🤣 I LOVE it because it shows WHAT makes Jesus FURIOUS . It’s having KNOWLEDGE of HIM , but LIVING OPPOSITE of HIS TRUE teachings. It’s LIVING a LIE . You...

In this episode I share Deuteronomy 8. This chapter is about God reminding the Israelites about the importance of KEEPING their faith, trust and OBEYING Gods word! That when they DO live in the land with the overflow and abundance they would NOT forget HE gave it to them! God disciplines, humbles and TEACHES us. In DISCIPLINE God is correcting our character so WHEN the blessing comes we don’t squa...

In this episode I share from John 9. This is the story of the man born blind that Jesus heals. Jesus spits in the dirt, makes mud and then places it on his eyes! Gross right!?! The point of this was FAITH requires ACTION . Jesus tells him to GO wash it off - this required FAITH that after washing it he would be HEALED ! I break down TWO types of blindness in this chapter. Spiritually blind. Physic...

In this episode I share what God put on my heart yesterday about GIVING this Christmas . This morning I opened up the word to 2 Corinthians 9:6-13 Paul is writing to the church about giving and meeting the needs of others. Plant little, reap little. When we GIVE , God promises to increase our resources, provide for our needs and PLENTY LEFTOVER ! Paul says TWO things happen when we as BELIEVERS GI...

In this episode I share from Micah 6:8 What’s God requiring in US that pleases him? Religion tells you rules , regulations, sacrifices and doing good deeds will get you “good standing” with God. God says, “I don’t want sacrifices. I want YOU !” In Micah 6:8 He shares to the Israelites what’s required. Live JUSTLY , LOVE MERCY and WALK HUMBLY with HIM . God wants a personal relationship with YOU ....

In this episode I share from Matthew 6:22-23 What you FOCUS on MAGNIFIES . In this chapter Jesus is talking about our “eyes” and what we FOCUS on will bring health or sickness to our life. When we focus on HIM we magnify HIM over our circumstances. When we focus on the negative thoughts our lives begin to fill up with DARKNESS . I share about a person I knew that ALWAYS had drama, talked negative...

In this episode I share from Psalm 112:1-10 What it LOOKS like to be in this world and BE like Jesus! We are his creation, made in HIS image to be AMBASSADORS for HIM.

This word today encouraged my heart and I p...

In this episode I share from Luke 10:38-41 & John 12:1-7 Mary and Martha are sisters. Jesus visits them and one is distracted in the “busy” of preparing food and the other is in ENGAGED sitting at Jesus feet listening to him share. Martha is distracted . Mary is ENGAGED .

By putting ALL my trust and commitment to God to reign over my life I have the peace in knowing it will ALL work out for the...

Tears on this one. Hit me good. In this episode I share from 1 Kings 17:1-24 In this story Elijah visits a widow and her son during a famine. She uses the LAST bit of flour and oil to make food for him FIRST ! A miracle takes place and yet she STILL doesn’t FULLY believe in God. In this story we see what happens when she FINALLY does BELIEVE ! What is it going to take for YOU to FULLY believe, tru...

In this episode I share from James 1:1-6 In trials, troubles and hard knocks of life is WHERE our FAITH has an OPPORTUNITY to GROW !

Choosing TODAY in counting it a JOY for an opportunity for God to strengthen and grow my FAITH as I lean on HIS wisdom to go through this process! What you...

In this episode I get PERSONAL . In James 3:13-18 Where there is JEALOUSY & SELFISH ambition you’ll FIND disorder and evil of every kind. I personally experienced this selfish behavior in a business situation and WOW did it hurt my heart. When you don’t care for the needs of others ABOVE your own, it REALLY makes others feel UNNOTICED . When you value and care for others it SHOWS by your actions a...

In this episode I share from Isaiah 26:1-9 To be in perfect peace we must FIX our thoughts. When we put ALL our TRUST in God and fix our thoughts on HIM , He keeps us in HIS PERFECT PEACE .

I share a personal story of what just recently happened in making a tough decision, but feeling complete PEACE from God knowing it was the RIGHT decisi...

In this episode I share from Matthew 13:53-58 Jesus comes to visit his hometown during his time in ministry - performing miracles and sharing Godly wisdom with parables and stories. He visits to perform miracles and is limited because of their UNBELIEF . He says, “A prophet is honored EVERYWHERE except by his own family and hometown .” What we give HONOR to is what is PRODUCED in our life. When we...

In this episode I compare TWO stories! Acts 9:32-42 and Mark 5:36-43 In these stories a 12 year old girl and and elderly woman are brought back to LIFE ! Died and then touched by Jesus - LIFE ! One, Jesus healed and the other Peter THROUGH Jesus power! God showed me this morning that Peter knew HOW to create tue atmosphere of FAITH to bring the woman back to life. This message today I pray encoura...

In this episode I share from Acts 9:1-22. This story is about Saul’s conversion to Paul. One encounter with Jesus CHANGED his ENTIRE life!
