Adventures With Jesus, Today

If you’re anything like me, then ‘contentment’ can seem like a four-letter word.

My husband and I have debated ;-) the context of Phil 4:11-13, for years!

Because some of us have a naturally content disposition. Some of us (like me), never seem to be content and are always wanting more!

Hence the ‘debating’.

But as I’ve wrestled with God (and my husband) about this concept over the years, I’ve realized that Paul shares a vital key to understanding what TRUE contentment is. And it’s not what we typically think.

In today’s podcast episode you will see…   

Why circumstances don’t get to tell you what to feel

God’s true definition of contentment

That you can do all things through Christ’s strength

I’m happy to say that I’ve come to love His definition of contentment way more than what mine was. And I’m embracing it more and more.

I remember saying to God one day, "Lord, my heart hurts so bad because of what that person said, that I just don't know what to do"

We've all experienced heartache (such an accurate word to describe it right?). That ache that seems to grip our hearts when we feel hurt by someone's actions and words.

Wether you're currently feeling this, or you want to heal from a past hurt - as you listen to today's podcast, you'll find a beautiful way to relieve that heartache and begin to see things through God's lenses of love instead.

We know that God says to speak life over our circumstances, but sometimes we feel so bad that we just don't want to.

 

We know that there is power in our words, but saying declarations that are different to what we're experiencing can feel fake.

 

I know, I've been down this road many times myself. Wrestling with God about how to be true to what my heart is feeling, yet speaking the Truth (which can seem opposite).  

All through the Bible the Lord mentions these two powerful words that can change the way we see life. They have the ability to shift the atmosphere and cause 'on Earth as it is in Heaven' to happen in your life.

As you listen to this episode let yourself hear the Truth and not only be set free, but live free too.

Listen to today's podcast episode for 2 key words that will help you to be able to speak the Truth no matter how you feel.

We all know when we're not doing the things that we were created to do. 

Things feel unnaturally difficult, and those passions that make us come alive don't have an outlet. 

Because let's face it, there is nothing quite so sweet as operating in your 'sweet spot'.

There are ways that you have created to be that just fit and seem right.

Ways you think. Ways you act. Ways you react. And these are all woven into the fabric of your being. You are a gift to the world and you (and we) benefit the most when you are living fully YOU.

Listen to today's podcast episode for 3 clues to discovering who you were created to be. We're excited for you to discover and live out your purpose.

God is a gentleman - and He often waits for us to invite Him into a situation before He moves on our behalf.

But, when we give Him that permission, watch out, because He will bring Heaven to Earth with a resounding "yes".

As you listen to today's podcast, realize how powerful your invitation is, and how much your circumstances can shift as you give Him permission to be God.

I took some time out this weekend to go and do my Christmas shopping. I got up early and was there as the shop doors opened, because I really don’t like being in all the hustle and bustle of the Christmas crowds. 

As I looked for gifts for the people I love, I talked to God about what He thought would really bless them and by the time we were done my heart was full.

The Christmas season can be a time of heightened emotion. Some of us are happy, some of us are sad, and a lot of us are stressed and looking forward to a little R&R.

As you navigate this season, take hold of the great opportunity to dwell on the Truth that this season represents - God really, really loves you.

No matter who you’re with, or who you’re missing this Christmastime, there is no-one on Earth who will ever love you as much as He does. 

In today’s podcast episode I share a piece of the Christmas story that I’ve never noticed before. A new aspect of God’s kindness that has me floored by His intentional goodness towards us. You will be so encouraged by how good He wants to be to you!

You know when you’re in the middle of a circumstance and it’s just so much easier to complain about it than try (again) to find a way out?

I know, me too. I sometimes fall into that trap wayyyyy too easily.

Well, I heard something this weekend that just stopped me in my tracks! Our Pastor was speaking and he repeated this phrase that he’d heard somewhere and it resonated so deeply with us that we all collectivity said “wow”!

He said, “when you complain, you remain. When you celebrate, you accelerate”

Mic drop…

It’s such a profound picture of the Truth in Phil 4:8 and it has the power to completely turn our complaints into praise.

In today’s podcast episode I share a story of how a friend of mine saw God do something super cool, because she chose to praise instead of complain.

On Tuesday evening I looked everyone in the class straight in the eye, and reminded them to be strong and courageous. 

We've all had times when we're scared to step into what God is calling us into. I have hidden away from what I'm called to do for a long time!

But, no more! I'm saying "yes" to God's call, and I encourage you to do the same too.

In Joshua 1:9 we hear the Lord commanding Joshua to be strong and courageous. The beautiful thing is that He then gives him instructions on how to do that. 

In today's podcast episode I share 3 keys that will help you to say "yes" and step into the very reason God created you for.
