This is episode 48 where we talk about how if you want the great and mighty things God has for you, then you must get to the root of your negative mindsets and deal with them. Because until the roots are removed, they'll continue to produce one bad fruit after another.

1 Peter 5:9 tells us "Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world."

Prayer: God, I need Your help to withstand the devil's plan. I know digging out bad roots is painful, but if it brings me closer to Your plan for me, I want to do it. Strengthen me as I resist the devil and submit myself to follow You. Thank you for hearing these words today Lord, I love you with everything I have, Amen!

This is episode 47 where we talk about how if you want to have peace in your relationships, you will need to be willing to be flexible. Pushing for your own way all the time will only hurt and offend those around you. But when you take to heart Paul's encouragement to 'live at peace with everyone,' the Holy Spirit will fill your relationships with His joy and peace.

Romans 12:16 says "Live in harmony with one another. Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly. Never be wise in your own sight."

Prayer: God, help us to bend so that we won't break. We want Your peace in our relationships, so we choose to be flexible today. We love you Father, and it's in your great name we pray with everything we have, Amen!

This is episode 46 where we talk about how even though our problems may have been brought upon us because of the upbringing we had or something done against our will, we have no excuse for allowing the problem to persist, grow, and even take control over our entire life. Our past experiences may have made us the way we are, but we don't have to stay that way. We can take the initiative by taking positive steps to change things, and we can ask for God's help.

2 Corinthians 13:5 says "Examine yourselves, to see whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Or do you not realize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you fail to meet the test!"

Prayer:  God, I don't want to live in denial and fear of my problems. I choose to evaluate myself and get to the bottom of these issues because I know that You can help me work through them to have a happier life. I pray these words over anyone listening right now, we love you Jesus, and it's in your great name we pray, Amen!

This is episode 45 where we talk about how in today's society many people feel their status is dependent on their job or position in the church. Because of this mindset, they're afraid someone else may get promoted ahead of them. Jealousy causes them to try to be important in the eyes of man. If you have this problem, understand that God has you where you are for a reason. He knows what's in your future, and He may have you in training for it right now.

James 3:16 says "For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice."

Prayer:  God, jealousy is dangerous and I don't want to have any part of it. My status isn't dependent on worldly positions and recognition. All I need is You. Thank you so much for hearing my words today Father, I love you and it's in your great name I pray, Amen!

This is episode 44 where we talk about how a lot of people think God won't use them until every area of their life is perfected. That type of thinking keeps people from allowing God to use them. He uses us in spite of us, not because of us.

2 Chronicles 16:9 says "For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to give strong support to those whose heart is blameless toward him. You have done foolishly in this, for from now on you will have wars.”

Prayer:  God, I know that you love me despite my weaknesses and flaws. I thank You for this love and turn my heart to You, knowing that You can use me when I follow You with a perfect heart. I ask that you bless anyone listening to this today, and know that we love you with everything we have Lord. It's in your great name we pray today, Amen!

This is episode 43 where we talk about how you're not going to be happy if you don't have hope. The more hope you have in God, the happier you become. Hope believes everything is going to turn out all right, hope is positive! To enjoy life you must maintain a good, hopeful attitude. God is positive, and He wants positive things to happen to each of us, so fill yourself with His hope today and live with the happy anticipation of good things.

Proverbs 13:12 says " Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a desire fulfilled is a tree of life."

Prayer:  God, I make the choice today to happily anticipate Your goodness in my life. And as my hope increases, I know that my joy will increase too. Lord, I put my hope in You!

This is episode 42 where we talk about how  if you and I will just "keep on keeping on," God will be pleased with our progress. He has promised to light the path before us. We may not know the way, and we may stumble from time to time, but God is faithful. He sees your progress, He's proud of you, and He's going to help you stay on the right path!

Psalm 119:105 says "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path."

Prayer:  God, I won't get discouraged about where I am. You've already brought me so far, and I know that You will continue to light my way. Thank you so much for allowing me another day on this side of the grass. I love you with all my heart and it's in Jesus great name I pray these words today, Amen!

This is episode 41 where we talk about how one of the biggest fears that people face is the fear of lack. It's the fear that your needs won't be met - that you'll run out of resources and that God won't come through for you in time.

Philippians 4:19 says "And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."

Prayer:  God, Your Word says that You will supply all my needs, so I won't give in to the fear of lack. I believe that You love me and that You will come through and provide for me. I love you so much Lord and it's in your great name I pray these words today, Amen!

This is episode 40 where we talk about how grace is the power of God to live the way He's called you to live. God, however, won't give us the grace to be disobedient. If He's telling us not to do something that we decide to do anyway, we'll experience the painful loss of His anointing.
 
Romans 5:15 says "But the free gift is not like the trespass. For if many died through one man’s trespass, much more have the grace of God and the free gift by the grace of that one man Jesus Christ abounded for many."

Prayer:  God, I can't live life successfully without Your grace in my life. I want to follow Your call, and I ask You to help me to live each day the way You want me to live. I love you, and I pray all of this in Jesus great name, Amen!

This is episode 39 where we talk about how it's tough to enjoy life when you don't like yourself. People who haven't learned to accept and get along with themselves tend to have more difficulty accepting and getting along with others. The Bible says a good tree will bear good fruit, and a rotten tree will bear rotten fruit. Likewise, the "fruit" of our lives comes from the "root" within us. If you're rooted in shame, guilt, inferiority, rejection, lack of love and acceptance, etc., the fruit of your relationships will suffer.
 
Mark 12:31 says "The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”

Prayer:  God, I want to be rooted in Your love for me. Without Your love, I can't love myself or others, so I receive it today. Thank you for hearing these prayers and loving us endlessly. In Jesus great name, Amen!
