This episode focuses on the need for integrity. It cannot be emphasized enough. Integrity is simply a life lived out in truth; it is the consistency of lifestyle. We look at how integrity or lack of it affects those around us, including our families and those we lead. We also look at the role of the Holy Spirit to us having integrous lifestyles as children of God. Proverbs 20:7 (ESV) says, "The righteous who walks in his integrity—  blessed are his children after him!" We each must encourage to impact those around us positively by the way we live. We have a responsibility to live truthfully.

Are you a very grateful and appreciate person? Do you give God thanks for everything he gives you and does for you? Thankfulness in all circumstances and for everything is an attitude that comes with maturity. It is a culture we all need to develop whether we are Christians or not, religious or not. The truth is a thankful person is a joyful person. What can keep a grateful person down? I imagine such an individual confuses the enemy. Thanksgiving is for our good.

Forgive Forgive Forgive! This episode looks at forgiveness as a sign of maturity. The mature individual understands and appreciates the need to forgive others and self, and the more we forgive, the more we mature. 

Taking responsibility for one's actions is a significant sign of maturity. We all mess up at one time or another and require restoration. No one wins when playing the Blame game. In this episode, we see that for there to be healthy relationships, marriages, partnerships, each has to take responsibility for their actions.

This episode looks at the importance of listening more and talking less.  A mature person recognizes, appreciates, and practices speaking responsibly. We see that listening is more than the mere perception of sound; but it calls for deliberate effort to hear and understand what is being said. It also establishes that since God endorses his words, we need to speak as He speaks. Our words can create chaos, or they can build. We choose to build our families, communities, businesses, and nation instead of destroying them when we declare the word of God.

In this episode, we begin looking at the signs of maturity, beginning with the fact that we do not know everything. In the body of Christ, we must remain teachable if we are going to learn what the Holy Spirit teaches.  Our aim of point of maturity is Christ; He is the standard by which our maturity is measured. 

God knows what he is doing. Regardless of what situation you find yourself in or the enemies that rise against you, God is right with you. Although there are enemies there, angels are also there. God is preparing a spread of all you need right in the presence of your enemies. Do not let the enemy or the difficulty become your primary focus. He is sending the right people there to support and encourage you. There is no wilderness, no challenge, no barrier that can keep him from you. Trust Him to do what he says he will do.

This episode looks at Joseph's encounter with conflicts and challenges on his journey to the palace. We see God's intentionality in strategically placing challenging to forge his character and prepare him to preserve not just his family but nations and generations. The crisis we go through today is not just for our growth but for the preservation, deliverance, and freedom of many. God is refining his people through the fire, i.e., every challenge, every conflict, every crisis, so you can be a blessing to others. Please do not give up hope in the middle of the conflict. Keeping trusting him, keep believing, keep pushing; He is faithful to complete what he started, stick with the process, and he will bring you out as pure gold.

Every child of God must understand the nature of the Kingdom to which we belong. The Kingdom of God is not stagnant; it has never been, nor will it ever be. Like an iceberg, it may appear small and insignificant, but beneath the surface, it is expanding, gaining moment, infiltrating and destroying the systems of darkness. You may not have much money in your bank account right now, you may not have much of an education, your life may not be well put together according to society's standards, but God chose you to host his presence. Like the iceberg, your power lies beneath the surface that people see and judge - greater is He who is within you. It's time to rise and shake off the stigma that society and empty religion have placed on you. It's time to take your eyes off the conflicts and crisis and redirect your focus to Christ. God wants to use you to proclaim the Good News of the Kingdom to the hopeless during this crisis. The Holy Spirit is ready to partner with you. All he wants is your YES.

This episode focuses on the importance of not taking everything personally. As representatives of the Kingdom of God, we are engaged in ongoing spiritual warfare, and, as such, we are targeted by the kingdom of darkness. We must give the enemy no access into our lives. 
As I recorded this episode, the Holy Spirit began revealing another aspect of the correct response to conflicts. The anointing was so tangible in the room, and I knew he was speaking to someone. At first, I was tempted to redo the recording for editing purposes, but because I felt this was the pure voice of the Spirit speaking, I decided to leave it as is. I pray as you listen, the Holy Spirit will bring deliverance and restoration to every area of your life.
