The path forward in the perfecting of our faith inevitably leads through a season crying out to God, "Why, God, why?" Why do bad things happen to good people? Where was God when a child is taken by disease? How does God allow new parents to lose a precious newborn infant? Why do pandemics happen? Why didn't God protect the husband and father on his way home from work from being taken in a tragic car accident leaving behind his bride and their precious little son and daughter?

On this episode of "Fruit of the Vine," your hosts Andrea and Ann Marie of the Charisma Podcast Network show how Jesus is our Rock, our Fortress, and Deliverer, in whom we can place our full trust. God in His Living Word promises to carry us through the darkest of awful moments life throws at us—not to magically give us only happy days. And it is in every one of those moments that Jesus Himself is working through us. Paul said nothing ever can separate us from the love of our Father in heaven, and it is Jesus who placed us in that love and keeps us there, even in our worst days. Jesus promises to lift us soaring on wings like eagles because He has already overcome death and the trials of this life. All we have do is take the promise of Scripture because it is the Word made flesh—trust Him and take that first step now!

If you are trying to force not-yet-believers, then you're not demonstrating Christ to them—that's the same Christ Who died on the Cross for each of us when we all yet were sinners. On this episode of "Fruit of the Vine," your hosts Andrea and Ann Marie of the Charisma Podcast Network present a rich and high-substance conversation in how to put on love, show other people Jesus, and do it the right way. That means never sitting in judgment, but always being ready to speak grace. The good news is that our Sanctification from Christ each day is the motivation we need to bring others to Jesus. We are able to love because we were first were loved by Him. It's also practical since we have no idea what burdens our neighbors are struggling beneath on any given moment. Andrea and Ann Marie will show the key to bringing Sanctification through grace in every thought, word, deed, and plan—getting back into God's Word and staying there. Don't give God your leftovers, start giving Him your right-overs! Get right again in your daily, frame each day within God's Word starting with Jesus first.

Line up your prayers with God's Will and watch Him work! Psalm 139 reminds us that God made us "fearfully and wonderfully," and that He will complete His work through us according to His Spirit in us. The more we press into Him and seek and obey His guiding, the more His peace will flood our souls.

Elizabeth suffered a severe car accident---and that was after enduring a stroke and arthritis. But she knew that she knew we are called to showcase God's awesome wonder-working power.

Through ten grueling months following her accident, she remained always about God's purpose while desperate in her soul for God's intervention. She was positive there were other folks in the church who must have been thinking, "…she needs to just give it up… it ain't happenin'!" But by her faith and unwavering hope, our Father in heaven released his healing miracle flowing for and through Elizabeth. Today she affirms, "He rescued me from my prison!"
