Life often feels like a mystery puzzle—each moment is just a tiny piece of a grand picture we can't yet fully see. From childhood aspirations shaped by our limited view of the world to the weighty decisions we make as adults, we often wonder if we've truly found our purpose. Have you ever felt like the life you're living doesn't match the one you imagined? What if there's a better way?

In this episode, we explore God's divine purpose for us. Drawing inspiration from 1 Peter 2:9-10, we reflect on the truth that we are God's chosen people, set apart for His work. Through the story of Joseph and the ultimate example of Jesus, we discover how surrendering to God's plan transforms our lives. Jesus' life is a blueprint, showing us how to obey and fulfill the Father's will.

Join us as we uncover the assurance that God's plans for us are faithful, sure, and filled with hope. If you've ever wrestled with the question of what work God is calling you to do, this episode is for you.

Welcome to another installment of Holy to YHWH Movement the Pod. This week, we dive into a deeply personal and transformative journey of faith in Episode 8, aptly titled Testify.

Through Mel's story and Scripture, we explore the profound shift from walking in darkness to stepping fully into His marvelous light, from a drifting faith in 1996 to a lukewarm return, and finally, the life-changing breakthroughs of 2023.

We also examine the delicate metaphor of the eye as the lamp of the body (Luke 11:33-36) and the moments when darkness threatens to seep in. How do we guard against this? How can we escape when temptation overtakes us? Drawing from Joseph's story in Genesis 39 and the promises in 1 Corinthians 10:13, we reveal the keys to walking in the light as children of God.

Finally, we're reminded that God separates light from darkness, as in creation itself, and calls us to a life of righteousness. Through passages like John 8:12, Ephesians 5, and 1 John 1:5-10, we hear a resounding call: to be imitators of Christ and to reject the ways of the world.

Join us to hear Mel's story, biblical insights, and encouragement that will inspire you to always walk in His marvelous light.

Scriptures mentioned in this episode:

• 1 Peter 2:9-10
• Genesis 1:2, 4, 5, 18
• Luke 11:33-36
• Genesis 3:5-7
• 1 Corinthians 10:13

Welcome back to our latest episode of Holy to YHWH Movement the Pod, where we dive deep into the essence of holiness and what it means to be holy to YHWH. February is a special month for many reasons—it's the month of love, Black History Month, and Presidents' Day, and yes, it's our host Mel's birthday month!

In this episode, we explore the concept of "possession" as referenced in our focal scripture, 1 Peter 2:9-10. As "a people for His own possession," what does it truly mean to belong to God? Last week, we delved into the idea of being a Holy Nation (see episode titled "I Pledge Allegience"), and today, we build on that by examining the different dimensions of possession.

We'll break down the definition of "possess" and discuss its negative connotations, such as spiritual and physical possession. However, we pivot to understand what it means to be a people for God's own possession.

Scriptures Referenced in this Episode:

• 1 Peter 2:9-10
• Acts 20:28
• 1 Thessalonians 5:9
• Isaiah 43:7
• Ephesians 1:3-14
• Romans 8:1-2
• Judges 17:6 & 21:25
• Galatians 2:20
• Luke 9:23
• John 15:5

In this episode of Holy to YHWH Movement the Pod, titled "Keeper of the House," we explore the concept of maintaining not just our physical homes but also our spiritual sanctuaries. Just like homes featured on HGTV, the true state of a home is dependent on the "Keeper of the House."

We'll delve into what it means to be a Royal Priesthood. As God's Ambassadors, we represent Jesus and the Kingdom of Heaven. Join us as we journey through the scriptures and uncover God's desire to dwell among His people.

We wrap up with a word of encouragement, drawing inspiration from a video by Miles Munroe.

Have you ever been picked to be part of a team? Do you remember what it felt like waiting for the captain to call your name? To choose you to be on their team? For many of us, it left us feeling anxious and worried about what it would mean to be picked last. It's experiences like this that have shaped our identity and view of ourselves.

In Episode 3 of "Holy to YHWH Movement the Pod," titled "Making the Team," we explore the journey of discovering our true identity. We'll tackle the fear of being picked last and how it leads to false self-perceptions and SELF-FULFILLING PROPHECIES. We'll uncover how God sees us, so join us as we shed the fig leaves of false labels and embrace our true identity. Ready to be on God's winning team?

Prayer of salvation:

Heavenly Father, I accept your free gift of salvation. I acknowledge that I am a sinner, and by being a sinner, I have been separated from you. My heart's desire is to be connected with my Creator God, to fellowship with You as Adam did in the Garden. I acknowledge Jesus Christ as the only Son of God and my Lord and Savior. That Jesus died on the cross for my sins and rose on the 3rd day. It's by the blood Jesus shed on the cross that I am set free and no longer condemned. Forgive me, Heavenly Father, for my sins. I shed every lie and every loincloth I clothed myself with, and I place on the garments of salvation and the robe of righteousness. I invite the Holy Spirit to lead, guide, and comfort me. To instruct me in Your truth and to help me live a life of righteousness because I can't do it by my power but by Your Spirit. Thank you, Jesus, for paying the ultimate price for my sins; it's in Your name, I pray, Amen!

If you prayed that prayer, I want to hear from you!

In this episode, Mel discusses how peoples' perceptions and views of God are sometimes built on faulty foundations that combine influences from pastors, teachers, podcasts, social media, friends, family, and upbringing. Resulting in a personal, often chaotic, amalgamation of beliefs about God and further perpetuation of an unhealthy view of God.

In this episode titled Holy, we welcome you to join your host, Mel, as she dives deep into her personal faith journey, and why holiness is imperative to how we view the world and interact with others.

Mel shares her salvation story to the ups and downs of her adult years, leaving no stone unturned. With a disarming blend of honesty and humor, she recounts a profound encounter with God on January 20, 2024, which led to Holy to YHWH Movement. This movement calls for a commitment to holiness, inspired by Leviticus 20:26. The mission is simple, Follow Jesus, Live Holy, and Be Set Apart.

Mel dives into the complex definitions of holiness across languages and scriptures, challenging listeners to rethink their understanding. Using the eyeglass analogy, she provocatively illustrates how past traumas and life experiences can cloud our spiritual vision. Urging listeners to allow God to cleanse their lenses, transforming their perspective and healing their deepest wounds, while emphasizing the transformative power of a relationship with God through Jesus, and how it purifies and sanctifies our lives.

Wrapping up, Mel encourages listeners to join this imperfect yet profound journey towards holiness, inspiring others to embrace God's grace and power, as reflected in 2 Corinthians 12:9 and Philippians 2:13.

Mel would love to hear from you!
