In today's Faith Talks episode we'll be talking about how we can become the best versions of ourselves in this New Year. Aka, step towards who God has created us to be! 

Sometimes God will call us out into the unknown to extent our faith, and allow us to experience his goodness, love and mercy like never before.  These faith steps are not easy.. As I've just left my job, and you might be facing a similar decision, even though we might not know what's next: our God is faithful. He's our provider who will never fail. Don't be scared - just accept his invitation for adventure on the vast waters of life.

Genesis 22:14 
So Abraham called that place Jehovah Jireh (The Lord Will Provide). And to this day it is said, “On the mountain of the Lord it will be provided.”

let's talk about bitterness. A root that can completely blind, and rob us from everything that God has for us. How do we get rid of it? 

Let's talk about laying down our desires to give God space in our lives. To allow him to take centre position and do what only he can do. May we shed our selfish desires to take hold of what God wants to give us, which is far better then anything we can come up with ourselves! 

In this week's episode we'll be talking about how God sees you. He sees you in whatever situation you're in. He sees you praying your prayers, he sees your tears. He loves you too much to ever lose sight of you! 
 El Roi - The God who sees.

Let's Talk about prayer! How do we pray, when, why? Today we'll be talking about all of that and addressing the power in prayer!

Pray without ceasing - 1 Thessalonians 5:16-17

Today we're talking about being equipped for the battles of life! There's a season for every under the sun, and we have an enemy who is constantly waging war against us. Let's get ourself ready and fitting into the armour of God for when the battle comes ⚔️

With everything that's happening in the world right now, and the change of seasons it can be so easy to feel unmotivated, and discouraged. Within this storm, we need to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus. Don't let these things get to you! 

Hebrews 12:2 - Let us keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, on whom our faith depends from beginning to end. He did not give up because of the cross! On the contrary, because of the joy that was waiting for him, he thought nothing of the disgrace of dying on the cross, and he is now seated at the right side of God's throne.

What do we do when we don't feel God?

We are new creations through Christ. Because of what Jesus has done for us on the cross we are made new! You are not your past, you're not who other people say you are. You are who God says you are! God sees you as he sees Jesus. Righteous and fiercely loved 🤍
 
2 Corinthians 5:17 - Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things have become new.
