In this episode we dive into the word of God in Acts 2:42, Galatians 1, 1 Corinthians 3:16-17 and as the holy spirit leads. The topics of humility, knowledge, understanding and wisdom are all discussed in the span of this conversation.

If you would like to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior today:

Heavenly Father , I come before to say I am in need. In need of a savior, in need of more. Lord I have been broken and torn, I have done wrong and I have doubted. Lord today I acknowledge that you are God, you are the great I AM. Jesus you are the Christ, you are that shepherd that leaves the 99 to come get the one. Today I am coming to you as that one. Today Jesus I confess that you are my Lord and Savior. That you Jesus ,died for me and rose back up after 3 days. You put my sin to death so I can live. Jesus I need you today and for the rest of my life. This day I am a new creation. Today my life is yours God as it has been from when you made me. Lord come and rule and reign in my life and steer me along your path of righteousness. In Jesus name , amen.

As people , we run to a lot of things in order to find comfort and for it to be very temporary. Whatever we run to outside of God , will always leave a void or hole. It may change how you feel in the moment but it never fulfills you. God the maker of all , the creator, the one that breathed into you is the only one that can sustain you and satisfy you completely.

In this piece, may you feel a glimpse of what it may feel like to speak to the father and express yourself. Coming to him authentically because that's the most important relationship you will have as a believer, nothing else compares and truly nothing else will work.

Even with God , it's okay to express your frustration because it serves no purpose trying to hide it, he knows everything. I encourage you to remain in communication with him constantly, God loves you and all he wants is your heart no matter what may have happened or gone bad in life.

John 14:18 I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.

Joshua 1:9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”

Exodus 4:13 But Moses said, “Pardon your servant, Lord. Please send someone else.”

Exodus 4:15 You shall speak to him and put words in his mouth; I will help both of you speak and will teach you what to do

Exodus 14:14 The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.”

Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Jeremiah 31:34 No longer will they teach their neighbor, or say to one another, ‘Know the Lord,’ because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest,” declares the Lord .“For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more.”

A couple of reminders that God won't leave even when we don't recognize how he will do something or if he is even there with us, it's impossible for God to leave. He never goes back on his word

How is everyone? Let's have a check in. Let's be vulnerable.

In this episode we tackle vulnerability , keeping faith, believing , pain and discomfort and the uncertain.

In this season , I am becoming more aware of God's presence, of course he has never left. However sometimes we may forget to acknowledge that he is there due to whatever may come up within our lives and get this, this is among believers. We know the scriptures, we know the verses that wrap us in like a warm comfortable blanket but sometimes we may neglect how these scriptures can be applied to our lives not just when it is looking very good. We are given opportunities to create endurance and build our character through times and situations where we have to cling onto God's word even more , to invite his presence in even more. Also giving God thanks and praise throughout the season and praise for the season to come. So let's check in, sit and listen to this dialogue then go back to the father and sit with him some more or invite him into every aspect of your life even when you are suffering or going through a storm. Even more to continue speaking to God when life is looking very great or every prayer is being answered but remember every day is a day the lord has made so be glad and rejoice in it!

Join in for a book reading. Many of times we are faced with constant things or just significant things that our fixation and gaze is on the problem, thing , or circumstance at hand however not realizing where God is even in the situation. Not realizing that he has given us the very things that we need to get through, the gifts and vision to do a great work. Ephesians 2:10 says that we are his handiwork created to do good works which he already has "prepared" us in "advance" for. In psalms 139 , all the days of our life were already written before they became to be.

"Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be." (psalm 139:16 niv)

So join in on this reading of just the beginning process of the production of "A Fresh Face"

A book , a collection , a reflection of the father in poetic form said to speak to those that are facing situations where intimacy with the father hasn't been met, hasn't been kept , or just there is a need or longing for intimacy without a clear indignation of how to go about it. This production will not be a how to guide but it will be a refresher , a lovely rebuke, and encouraging body of work set to advance his kingdom, the kingdom of God. Alright that's not even page one but we can't get to page one without even facing page one of today. Today is a page you will face and through this work hopefully through poetry and transparency you will understand more about the father whose own face you are supposed to carry [Image]

" But we do see Jesus, who was made lower than the angels for a little while, now crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone.

In bringing many sons and daughters to glory, it was fitting that God, for whom and through whom everything exists, should make the pioneer of their salvation perfect through what he suffered."

Hebrews 2:9-10 NIV

Those that are faithful in the little will be faithful in the much.

Join Vando on this week's discussion of the things that matter. Normally this would be a discussion that can be unpacked in many layers and may just well be a starting point for further inspection into what is meaningful for the believer. For the frame of this discussion , join Vando as he speaks as the holy spirit has led towards the details, focusing too on the details of the day to day walk. Honoring the things that may seem so small and realizing that God is preparing you for the more grand things. other points of discussion : relationship, prayer, faithfulness, intention . Always remember to bring everything back to the father, God. So that he may reveal to you the things that are meaningful for you as a believer and follower of Christ and even if you are interested in following Christ , in building relationship with God, start in the little. God bless and remember you are designed by God.

Mentioned Rest ministries

In this conversation , Vando breaks down the word placed on his heart , speaking as the holy spirit directs on the aspect of silence when it comes to the presence of the Lord. Many a time , we find ourselves within the hustle of everything else that is happening around us that we don't make the time to recognize that God is still very much present. Similar to how we may feel comfortable or safe in the presence of loved ones and we tend to not speak and get quite but a restful quiet , we should shift our perspectives to doing so with the Lord. Dive in and listen to how this is broken down on this episode.

(Exodus 14:14) Be Still

(Matthew 11:28) He gives you rest

(Philippians 4:7) A peace that goes past understanding
