Equipped to Stand with Sheri Yates

Ephesians 6 tells us to put on the full armor of God, but it isn't a defensive weapon – it's an offensive one. "Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the p...

Is your identity based on what you have done or the failures you made? I hope not because the only way to truly live is to know your Identity in Jesus Christ! God knew you before people bullied you, tore you down, abused you, or worshipped you! God is the only one who should have the ability and authority to name you and mark you! Read Ephesians 1 and 2. Make two columns on a piece of paper, and o...

Take courage. Courage is being scared or unsure and going ahead and doing what is right anyway. You're doing it girl. And you're not alone. I know it feels that way but we are here. Girl please don't hold your own feet so close to the fire. You're walking through a difficult time. Everything is new and you're learning how to use new tools that you haven't had to use before. It can be exhausting. Y...

I love God's word and it dwells richly in me. I worshi...

Hi Friends, My tongue gets me in trouble. How about you? The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit. Proverbs 18:21 NIV “Fools have no interest in understanding; they only want to air their own opinions. Wise words are like deep waters; wisdom flows from the wise like a bubbling brook. Fools’ words get them into constant quarrels; they are asking for a bea...

It's so easy to look at the hard circumstance, but nothing good comes from worry. Trust me, I know! It causes setbacks, for real. Goodness. We do not want to be double-minded (like we talked about in episode 29). We can come so easily overtaken by our circumstances that we take matters into our own hands, trying to fix everything because, if we are honest with ourselves, maybe we don't really thin...

Do you think your powerful prayers make God answer you? I think you will be surprised to see that God answers the moment you turn to him....well at least here is an example of that from Daniel 10.  Turn your face away from other things, distractions, and any help that takes your face away from God.  Love,  Sheri   At that time I, Daniel, mourned for three weeks. I ate no choice...

I had a freakin meltdown y'all, and in the middle of it, I received a text from someone I don't even know. It say: Ty is healed. No double mindedness.  I will be content in every circumstance, we sing, but it is easy to say than to live.  Join me today as I shout down some encouragements of how to stand. I am standing and invite you to stand in your circumstance too!  Love,  Sh...

In John 16:7-11, Jesus tells his disciples that he is going away and that they will be grieved, but that their grief will turn to joy. He explains that they will be given the Holy Spirit, who will guide them and bring them truth. Jesus reassures them that they will not be left alone, and that the Spirit will be with them always.

May we press in and hear from the Lord through the Holy Spirit who lives within us.  The Holy Spirit's role in your life: The Holy Spirit guides us in all Truth.  The Holy Spirit only Speaks from what he hears God say  The Holy Spirit secures your salvation The Holy Spirit will show you the things to come The Holy Spirit brings glory to Jesus He is your present help In Christ, you a...

You need to Holy Spirit! You are powerless with him. I don't want to face this hard, broken life without the power and presence of God! Hopefully, you don't either.  The Holy Spirit gives you GOOD fruit and is a deposit guaranteeing your inheritance.  You are equipped to stand. Let's do it! 

Do you ever doubt your salvation? I have! Today, we are going to be SURE ONCE and for all! Amen! The Holy Spirit is needed to live this life! In the Old Testament, the Holy Spirit could come and go, but not today. God sends his spirit to live in you. This is the only way to live equipped and to stand firm through it all.  This gives us assurance that we are saved and cannot be taken out of Go...

What Happens When You’re Praying for a Miracle and You Don’t Get It? Not a day goes by without many prayer needs. People are praying for miracles in their finances, their homes, their relationships. But it seems when we find ourselves praying for miracles of healing, it feels especially urgent—scary. Did you know that the medical field is now the number one business in our nation? We have huge opp...

Are you facing the impossible, feeling hopeless, or weak? Well today is for YOU! God thought of you in advance and gave me this encouragement for you!  Love you, Sheri

No More Shame!! I am not the sum of the things I’ve done. Jesus took away all my shame I am forgiven and it is finished. My past can no longer hold me back. Even when others remind me of my past, I remember that I am a new creation. It is not only Forgiven, but Forgotten. “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.” Romans 10:11 "He has removed our sins as far from us as the east is fr...
