Feeding On Jesus

Did you know that the more Jesus makes you whole, the more like Him you will become? Sanctification is a gift from the God of all peace, as we continue to surrender to Him. His gift of shalom, of wholeness, of safety, of unbroken wellbeing leads you and me ever deeper into sharing in His holiness. By His wounds, the wounds of our hearts are healed.

Today we launch a brand new season on the podcast: "Healing the Soul." We are going to do a deep dive together on the ways of the Lord regarding this vitally important  topic. When it comes to restoring the wounded places of our hearts, Jesus cherishes being our Healer.

God has promised to guard and protect our thought life. We do, however, have a role to play, partnering with Him by actively selecting the right kind of thoughts to entertain in the sacred space of our minds. As we embrace the discipline of staying our mind on Him and His kind of thoughts, we reap the benefits of victory inside of our heads, marked by lasting, unperturbed peace. Perfect peace IS w...

It's audio devo day!  Light is more powerful than the dark.   Good i s more powerful than evil.   God thoughts are more powerful than tormenting thoughts. Today, we are going to unpack how to turn God thoughts into a lifestyle marked by peace that is ever on the increase.

God's thoughts are absolutely nothing like the kinds of thoughts found commonly in the world today. They are SO much higher. He invites us into His thinking, where heavenly thoughts dictate to earthly circumstances and bring about change. Holy Spirit will teach us the discipline of Recognize, Reject, Replace as we pursue victory inside our heads.

God's thoughts are as high above ours, as the heavens are over the earth... and yet He makes them accessible to us by His Holy Spirit. Today we delve into what it looks like to appropriate what Jesus paid for with the crown of thorns. We get to learn to live out of our seat with Him in the heavenly places and have our minds governed by His own Spirit. The result is supernatural springtime taking o...

Tormenting thoughts are part of the curse. When the solidiers pushed the crown of thorns into Jesus' head, He took the pain of that curse and cancelled it for us. A mind governened by life and peace is part of what He purchased for us through HIs death and resurrection. You can have perfect peace, TODAY!

Through the words, "I identify as...", the enemy has hijacked a foundational principle that belongs to God. Only He has the right to tell us who we are... because He is our Creator. He made us. He is the One who knows who He made us to be, and what will bring us true joy. When we find out from Him our true identity, then and only then can we live in the fullness of life that He intended for us all...

Today, our Savior is assuring us, "In Me, you may have peace." Peace is our inheritance, it is our privilege, and it is our right as children of God. This episode launches a series about walking in victory where it comes to the activity constantly happening between our ears. The mind set on the Spirit is life and peace, so come explore with me what it looks like to be Spirit-focused in our thought...

When we imitate our Savior by choosing to wear the breathtaking garments of humility, we attract His empowering grace to ourselves. We were created to live in complete dependence on Him, humbling ourselves under His mighty hand. In His beautiful, perfect timing, He will restore, exalt, and establish you.

God has provided luxury garments for you and me. These are spiritual clothes, radiant in the heavenly realm. However, the Bible tells us that the robe of righteousness in which He arrays us is also visible the physical realm. How so? The gift of His righteousness becomes practical righteousness. We live out our overflowing love for Him in the shape of the "righteous deeds" granted us to wear each...

When we worship the Lord "in holy attire" as Psalms describes, the glory from His presence gets on us. We experience His powerful voice and manifestations of HIs power that shift atmospheres and circumstances in the earthly realm.

When we worship God, we worship Him dressed in the splendor of holiness. Wrapped in His radiance, we are then ready for whatever may lie ahead. His presence infuses us with strength and joy. 

Just as a winter coat can insulate you from frigid weather conditions, your spiritual garments are meant to protect you from adverse atmospheric conditions in the world around you. The layer of spiritual insulation that the armor of God provides is inpenetrable. You and I have the immense privilege of selecting and putting on what you are going to wear in spirit today--so let's dress for success!

Sometimes, like the prodigal son, we just need our Daddy to wrap us up in a fresh change of heavenly garments. As He does so, the voice of condemnation is silenced and we see ourselves as He does... as we really are. When our spiritual eyes are thus opened to heaven's reality, this results in our continual transformation. 

When we clothe ourselves with Jesus, our spiritual garments are fragrant with His beauty. Everywhere we go, we spread the aroma of His nature to everyone around us. There is both loveliness and healing in wearing the robe of righteousness that He provides. 

Jesus is stunningly beautiful. As He is, so are we in this world. You and I get to wear, as shoes, the readiness of the wonderful news of peace. This makes your feet radiate with the glory of God. Oh, how beautiful your feet--and your whole being--become, as they walk in His light!

In your hand, you hold everything you need for victory. In your hand, you hold the precious gift of grace. As God provided for David the five stones of grace, He has perfect provision for you, too, today, for everything you are facing. Engage the battle with those five stones of grace and watch as God flattens the mountains in your path!

Today we continue talking together about the mighty weapons that God has put at our disposal for victory in our battles, every time. The name of Jesus is far above every other name, and He invites you and me to invoke it in our moments of need. His name is full of power... and He wants us to experientially know this in the depths of our spirits.

Your testimony alone is an incredibly powerful weapon against spiritual attacks... but what happens when you take that testimony and you turn it into a prophetic decree? Double whammy, and that giant is coming DOWN! Today we unpack what it looks like to take up this second mighty weapon of ours.

Did you know that you have a dangerous weapon available for your use? Your testimony is a lethal threat to the enemy. Everything you have walked through with God up until now has prepared you for the moment you are currently facing. Pull out your history with Jesus, wield it, and watch hell tremble. You were born for such a time as this!

When David took off Saul's armor, he put on something so much more effective: the glory garment, the armor of light. God's glory is a shield around us that protects us from every fiery dart the enemy might try to send our way. When we learn to abide in His presence, even curses bounce off and fall to the ground, never to land on us. 

Young David knew that he had to take off Saul's armor in order to walk in what God had for him. When he did so, he slew Goliath Saul's physical armor represented false spiritual armor: that of trusting in men instead of in God. In today's episode, we talk about getting free of the fear of man and learning instead to be in amazed by the Lord of Hosts. When we learn to live off His affirmation, we w...

The Word teaches us not to put our trust in those things that are passing away: wealth, titles, accolades of this world, and so many other unreliable sources of stability and protection. Instead, we are to put our trust and hope exclusively in God. Today He wants to help us throw away worn out defense mechanisms and find our safety in Him alone.

In God, we often need to take something off in order to put on something better. In today's episode, we explore some ways we might be trusting in faulty protection mechanisms that He never intended for us. We discuss what it looks like to strip off false armor in order to put on the true protection which Holy Spirit provides.
