Smiles from God

You can stop negative thinking with God's help. Ask yourself, 1. Is it true? 2. Is it helpful? 3. Is it in line with God’s Word? With God’s help, as you recognize the thoughts, identify and filter them, your brain will begin to change. Over time, you will notice the negative thoughts decrease and the positive ones increase. Use God’s truth, the Bible, to counter the negative thoughts. When the tru...

What do you think of the Commandments of God? Do you see them as liberating or restricting? In this week’s episode I discuss how the Commandments of God are loving guidelines that keep us safe and help us to live our best lives. Imagine seeing  your child going into a dangerous situation, what would you do? You’d probably intervene before something terrible happens.  Imagine that same child, you’v...

Whenever you find a great deal, listen to an inspiring video or hear good news, what do you do? You think of someone who you can share it with. This is what God calls us to do as believers, tell others about the love of Jesus.  In the Desire of Ages page 339 paragraph 4, author Ellen G. White wrote, “It is in working to spread the good news of salvation that we are brought near to the Saviour.” DA...

Author Ellen G. White says of prayer, “Prayer is the opening of the heart to God as to a friend. Not that it is necessary in order to make known to God what we are, but in order to enable us to receive Him. Prayer does not bring God down to us, but brings us up to Him.” Prayer p8 p4.  It’s our great privilege to come into the presence of the Almighty and speak with Him at any time about anything....

Did you know that Bible study can change your life? God said in Romans 12:2 - “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” When approached with a humble heart, seeking to know God intimately, He will give His Holy Spirit to help us. Without the Holy Spirit, the Bible would be a...

God can bring you into the perfect Father-child relationship with Himself. This is His heart's desire. He’s waiting for you. What are you waiting for? Your life will change when you surrender to Jesus. He will do all that you need and cannot do. When you learn to trust Him, you will worry less and seek Him more. You will become a new person that you love. 2 Corinthians 5:17 says, "Therefo...

Is it possible that God is answering your prayer through a child in your life? As you pray and seek God, ask Him for an attentive and discerning spirit to hear His voice. Sometimes God answers us in the least expected way. If we are listening with expectation, we will hear Him clearly. In this week’s episode, I share three experiences when God spoke through my three year old son. The first time we...

Worry is something that steals our joy and peace. It robs us of our relationship with our Lord. Though we know worry is unproductive and harmful, we still worry. Why? We believe that Jesus is our Lord who has reconnected us with God. We believe that God owns the world, yet we as His children are worrying ourselves to the point of illness.  When you worry, you are saying that God cannot be trusted;...

Have you ever heard the voice of God give you clear and specific instruction, but you hesitate because you don't want to offend anyone? This exact thing happened to me. During COVID, we began writing messages on our driveway and the sidewalk by our house. The messages reached a lot of people because we lived on a busy street. One day, God told me to write Matthew 11:28, "Come to Me, all y...

When fear comes into your mind, what do you do? Do you trust in God’s Word or do you dwell on those thoughts? Fear can paralyze and kill us; it steals our joy, peace and power. It separates us from our God and isolates us. It’s a tactic of the enemy to destroy us.  God wants us to live full and free lives. He wants us to experience the fullness of His love and power to save. His Word is alive and...

There are times when things happen and you don't understand. You don't understand the purpose nor the situation. It's in these times, more than ever, God wants us to trust Him wholeheartedly. In this episode I talked about the events that followed the near-death experience I had during childbirth. Only God knows why my son ended up in the hospital. The first night there, as the staff twisted his s...

January 13th, 2023 is a day that changed my life forever. Since that day I have viewed God in a new way because I experienced His power to save. I went into labour with my third child in a home birth. Throughout that day, I felt well and strong, but by the time the midwife came to begin the delivery, I was as good as dead. I sensed that I needed supernatural help and so I prayed continually. At th...

You are minding your business and you hear a voice in your mind. It's audible and you know that it only spoke to you. You think, maybe it's God or wait, maybe it's just my mind. How can you distinguish between the voice of God, your voice or that of the enemy? There is one simple test that would reveal the source of every message that comes to our hearts. The question you can ask is, i...

Have you ever had a dream that was baffling? Does God speak to us through dreams? How can we know that it’s God? In this episode I discuss a confusing dream that I had. At the time of the dream I just could not understand its meaning or need. After I talked to God about it and He didn’t answer, I left it alone. Months later, when our family needed to make an important decision, after praying, God...

Before you pray, do you wonder, will this prayer be answered? What does it really mean to pray in faith without doubt? Regardless of how small your prayer is, God can answer it. Even when you pray big bold prayers as I like to call them, God can answer them. He is Jehovah and with Him all things are possible, Matthew 11:26.  In this episode, I share how God taught me in a funny way, the importance...

Do you know why you were created? Are you living your purpose? Knowing and living your purpose are very important for a healthy and fulfilling life. So how do you know what your purpose is? When you know your purpose, how do you accomplish it? Genesis 1:26 tells us that we were created in the image of God; therefore, we were created for God’s honour and glory.  Isaiah 43:7 says, “Everyone who is c...
