Coffee & Comfort Podcast. Hosted by Sylvia A

Friend, we are back! And hopefully for good, stay a long time while having a good time. This episode is all about how transformation leads to lasting change. You know how you wake up one day and you just want to change, to live better, do better, think better and move better? But then by the end of the week old patterns and habits creep back in and you are where you started. I have been there until I came across the word in the bible that talks about letting God transform you into a new person and God cutting off dead branches. Realising that if we want lasting change, deep change we need to ask God to help us so we can sustain and remain changed and transformed. Grab your hot beverage and let's chat.

Fear! One of the main tactics from the enemy to keep you stuck, delayed, ashamed and not living the life God has for you. Fear keeps you from God!

Its been a challenge and a battle that I am learning to overcome and there are 3 things that God pointed out to me and showed about how to combat fear (because it creeps up throughout life because we grow and elevate and change). The lesson is to not get stuck in it, its to walk through it like David says in Psalm 23- "I will not be afraid for you are with me"

Have a listen as I share those 3 things God has me doing on a daily to combat and be delivered from fear.

In this episode we chat about how we alwasy think about the Harvest and never the process and what it takes to get to the harvest. We want things quickly, we want growth to happen tomorrow or in the next week- if possible. Something that we don't pay enough attention is to is nature and it can teach us a lot about patience and seasons and what happens in each season. The key.... knowing what season God has you in and living accordingly, walking with Him through it and believing when he says at the right time He will make it happen.

The Harvest isn't as important, that is not where we see and hear and learn to lean on God. Its in the quiet, the deep dark places (like soil) the everyday toiling and working and living.

I hope this episode encourages you to walk by faith and not by sight and to throw your timings away!

Friend,

The new year always brings with it a hope for better, for change, for different, and most of all a hope to get closer to God and align to His will, to be more obedient, faithful, steadfast and good and faithful servant. To get more of Him! Before we get down to do our prayer boards and put goals in place, let's bring it all to Go, what we want to do, achieve etc. Let us let God guide our steps. We chat about why its important and just better to let God be the center, be number 1. To be our God.

Hello Hi friend,

I have been reading 1 and 2 Kings and there are quite a few lessons in those books that i was not expecting (The Old testament is quite an intense part of the Bible for me).

The first lesson I received was about Healing and how God will heal you His way and the way that is for YOU- YOUR own journey. Not how you think it should go or a copy and paste of someone else's healing journey.

God is for us, God's plans for us are beautiful and intentional and we need to lean in, obey, follow Him and walk closely with Him throughout your life. Life changes all the time and each season and level of your life requires a different you, a healed you and God will take you through paths and reveal some things so that He can heal you so you become stronger, wiser and whole for where He is taking you. God knows you and what you need every single time.

Tune is as we talk about Naaman and how God changed his life just by being obedient to his instructions

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
