Fred Speaks

This episode is about allowing God into our space that he might make things better. Revelation 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

This episode is about the fragrance or aroma we throw off in our interaction with one another. If we could have that fragrance that brings us together rather than push us apart then things would be better. God has some fragrances that he likes to receive from us:

Prayer

Repentance

Witness

Love

Scripture to remember

Galatians 5:222

But the fruit of the spirit is

Love, Joy, Peace, Longsuffering, Gentleness, Goodness, Faith, Meekness, Temperance: against such there is no law.

This episode is about Feeling Inadequate. Satan plants the false idea in our minds over and over, often going back to when we were children. Be aware of your thoughts and feelings and don’t let your feelings define who you are, let the truth of who you are in Christ define you.

Philippians 4:13

I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me.

This episode is about having intentional growth or purposes in our lives. We should expect growth in all aspects of our lives and not hoping that growth will accidentally happen. Growth requires learning, seeking and stretching towards new change and development in our lives.

This episode is about breakups. God created us to enjoy and thrive in love that lasts. Hearts weren’t built to be borrowed.

1. It’s ok to cry

2. Don’t try again too quickly

3. Learn from the breakup

4. You may have failed but God didn’t

5. Jesus will help you find joy in the shadows of heartbreak.

God feeds the birds and the fowl of the air. He grows the flowers of the field. How much more will he provide for the those he made in his own image. All he wants to know is that if he heals our broken hearts that we will love him more than anything or anyone.

This episode of Fred Speaks is about the church being a spiritual hospital. You will find people there with numerous conditions and situations. There are mistakes when dealing with and trying to help people however the overall purpose of the church is to provide spiritual treatment to help people deal with their everyday life.

This episode is about a relationship a man has with a woman and that Stability, Peace of Mind is more important than Sex and Love. However ultimately our relationship with God is the source of Stability and Peace.

Key factors for a man’s relationship with a woman:

State of Friendship

Rest of spirit

Tired of doing it alone

Key factors for our relationship with God:

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:6-7).

A peaceful mind and heart are experienced as a result of recognizing that an all-wise and loving Father has a purpose in our trials. “We know that all things work together for good to those who love God and are called according to His purpose” (Romans 8:28).

This episode is to help us understand that the change we want outside must first begin inside. God’s approach to transformation is inside/out. Psalms 51:10 Create in me a clean heart; and renew a right spirit within me.

This episode is to encourage everyone that there is power in holding your peace. For a Christian, “holding your peace” is more than just quieting down or “hushing up”. God calls his people to have restraint and self-control. We are to replace outrage with joy at the goodness of God. Yes, this is easier said than done but we can do with his help. There is power in the name of Jesus!

This episode is about the best approaches to deal with the crossroads of life.

Here are a few approaches to crossroads:

Make a Major Change

Crossroads can be approached lightly, but heading straight for it at full force may make the best path even better. Force the crossroad to give you the best path.

Act Before You Think

In any case, acting before you think gets you somewhere with immediate results whereas thinking before leaves you where you are and you are left to imagine the place you could’ve gone to, had you made the decision instead of overthinking it.

Backtrack

Backtracking may not always be possible, but in cases where it is possible and if it is necessary, it should be considered as an option.
