Coffee & Comfort Podcast. Hosted by Sylvia A

Our hearts are deceptive and they hold alot of things that we know and don't know. Our hearts can lead us astray (most times it has) and our lives are often a reflection of what's in our hearts.

Asking God to search our hearts should be a daily practice, daily prayer, asking Him to show us, to reveal what we don't know and what we do know, for Him to heal and restore. King David knew that his heart wasn't always right or true and he was honest with God about this. 

We chat about letting God in, letting God show us so that we can be good and faithful servants to Him and in our lives and to the people around us. Everything flows from our hearts, so let's let God be Lord over our hearts.

We have all know the verse- it is more blessed to give than to receive but how does that look like in everyday living?

When we give to others of our money, time, resources, advice, wisdom, teachings, we honor God, we are building the Kingdom of God.

Paul speaks about this in 2 Corinthians chap 8 and 9. Let's chat about the Ministry of giving in this episode

Friend.. We need to give God time to work because He knows how your life is supposed to go and when things need to happen.

We rush to get to the end of a season, or breakthrough or miracle or that blessing/s that we don't stop to seek God in each day and ask Him- what are we doing today? What plans do you have? What do you need me to do?

We should wait upon the Lord, knowing that He is going to do it and do it perfectly and exactly what we need and when we need it. We are already blessed, in the season that we are in and just our life in general.

Have a listen and I pray that it blesses you, shifts your perspective and moves you closer to God and what He is doing in your life.

Obedience is a tough one. Tough to put into practice every time. Our feelings often get in the way, so does our fears, doubts, pride and the I-want-to-control-the-outcome mentality.

God just wants your obedience and Trust. Doing as God says- all you need to trust is His promise which that all will go well with you.

Obedience is moving forward in your life- you might not see the immediate movement but you have moved in the right direction. This episode we chat a bit about Jeremiah and how he was obedient, a good and faithful servant of the Lord. Hopefully we can think of him when we don't "feel like" doing what God has told us to do because of how it may look like.

In the Bible we read about Abraham having Faith. But something else that he had which fueled him was HOPE. Hope in God's words and instructions and believing that all would come to pass. Abraham and many others in the bible- Jeremiah, Moses, Sarah, Joshua- they had HOPE which carried them through even though their circumstances were the exact opposite.

In this episode we speak about having Hope in our daily lives and that we should not leave it behind. Hope in God will not disappoint, God is always doing something and we are always better for waiting and hoping in Him.

How are we waiting for God to move or answer our prayers? Are we sitting, pouting, with our arms crossed, tapping our feet and just waiting impatiently? What are we waiting for?

Are we focused on the prayers and what we can get or are we focused on God? How we wait matters, seeking God while waiting matters, living and working while we wait on God matters.

Tune in and let's chat about waiting on God and how it's actually the best thing for us, if we let it be.

The bible says in Proverbs 29:25 Fearing people is a dangerous trap but trusting in the Lord means safety.

In this episode we look at a practical example of how dangerous it is for us, our mind and our lives when we fear people. Fearing people causes chaos, it sets us back and sometimes even keeps us in the same place instead of where God is taking us. It is one of the enemy's top tactics to keep you away from Trusting God, His guidance and protection. When we fear people, we end up questioning God and it should be that we Trust God and question people's motives and words when it comes to our lives.
