The other day the Holy Spirit led me to watch Tall girl 2. In the first movie, this teenage girl was battling with her insecurities of being too tall, but now that she had been set free from the fear of accepting herself and loving herself for who she was, she now was battling a different battle—the battle of the mind.

When we face fear, it’s usually a fear associated with what others think of ourselves, which leads us not entirely to be who God created us to be.

2 Corinthians 10:3-5

For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. 4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. 5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.

In today’s episode, we will talk about how the enemy uses our own thoughts again us and how to overcome the enemy's strategies.

All Christians know that the foundation of our walk with Christ is Faith. The Bible tells us in Hebrews 11:6 states, “But without faith, it is impossible to please him (meaning God).

But do we really believe all that the Bible teaches us?

When faced with challenges, do you believe that God can help us in our situation?

Can God deliver you from any virus or disease?

In today’s episode, we will take a closer look at the faith walk of a Christian and talk about some examples in the Old Testament and from a beautiful testimony about faith. 

The word of the LORD came to Jonah to go to the great city of Nineveh, and he responded by fleeing to Tarshish. How many have run away from the call on God in your lives? Let's learn together the wealth of knowledge and understanding found in the book of Jonah. 

Many biblical scholars have debated the doctrine of justification by faith, which is still being discussed today. They ask a crucial question, Is a person justified by faith alone or by works? I think it’s an important question that every Christian needs to meditate on and study.

The apostle Paul states in Roman 3:28, “For we maintain that a person is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.”

“So we are made right with God through faith and not by obeying the law.”

In this episode, we will discuss the very controversial topic of justification by faith and ask the question, are we justified by faith alone or by works. My goal is to prove that we are, like apostle Paul said, justified by faith alone and that James 2:24 is not a contradiction but a demonstration of their faith belief.

John 3:16

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

In our passage, it states that God gave his one and only Son, but why did he? Why did it get to this point?

Many of us Christians do just like the father in the story and start reading the Bible from the back. As we should, but we must understand the Bible as a whole, many small stories telling a bigger story, God’s story. When we look at the entire Bible as a whole, we can better understand all the stages of the story that God is communicating with the world.

Ever wonder what it would take to truly serve God? What qualifies someone to be used by God in a mighty way? The Bible teaches us the God is the qualifier. Throughout the Bible, we see how God chooses the most unqualified people to do extraordinary things. All these well-known heroes of the bible have one thing in common. Today we will explore this common thing that turned unqualified men into qualified.

1 Samuel 15:22

But Samuel replied:

“Does the Lord delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obeying the Lord? To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed is better than the fat of rams.

Obedience doesn’t come from a place of understanding but a place of trust. Why is it important for followers of Christ to learn to walk by obedience?

Let's dig a little deeper into the scriptures.

Deny yourself daily. Those are the words I heard often when I first began my walk with Christ. what does that even mean? We go to church, read the bible (some of us), listen to gospel music, and try to live a life away from sin. We try to be nice to others, not hurt others feelings, help our fellow brothers and sisters, fellowship and encourage each other’s but at what cost?

There is a price to salvation, and it cost you everything…. It will cost you your life!

Scripture:

Luke 17:33 NIV

Whoever tries to keep their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life will pressure it.

What are practical examples described in the bible that can help us to understand the cost that each of us must pay?

Let's explore this thought deeper in this episode.

Most times, Christians have a preconceived notion of how we ought to act, think, and react to the things around us. 

In this episode, we are going to define what I call the sideline Christians.  We will take a look at scriptures to learn how to transition from the sideline and walk in our boldness.  

Proverbs 28:1 The wicked flee when no one is pursuing them, but the righteous are as bold as a lion. 

Many people get a real thrill out of debating other people. This usually can be and remain formal or can get emotional as each party try to present to the other of their belief. Many like to get into Christian debates to try to convert, defend Jesus Christ, and or to prove that the Gospel is indeed the truth. Most Often, the people that will engage in such conversations are those who like to argue and will stop at nothing to prove their point. During these types of exchange very little active listening takes place, instead the opponent listens enough only to come up with a rebuttal to what is being said.

The question that I have for you today beloved is should Christians get into debates with other non- believers?

Testimony

In today’s episodes, we will be discussing How the scriptures say we should act when confronted for a debate.

Growing up in Haiti, My Grandmother used to take me and my sisters to church every Sunday. I started to enjoy church, especially when the church starts singing. AS a child, you kind of imitate everything you see the elders were doing and that is one of the ways we learn about what to do at church. One thing that we also learn was the act of silent prayers, the prayers that are down to a whisper of just the movement of the lips.

Hebrews 4:12

For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.

In today’s episode, we will take a deeper look at the power of the word of God and how we can use it in our daily lives.
